Creating a Successful Teacher Resume

It's arguably the most important job in the world, but just because you're a passionate, dedicated teacher doesn't mean that you can send in any old resume. You must be able to translate your skills, experiences, and credentials into a document that makes potential employers say, "I want to meet his person!" In fact, you're "teaching" employers about you.

Structuring for Success

These features must be included on your resume. Put them in the order below to maximize readability.

· Identifying information. Like other resumes, you must include your full name, address, phone number, and email address at the top of your resume. Make sure it's big enough to read easily.

· Objective. This is especially important when applying at large school districts because they receive hundreds of resumes and need to quickly identify which pile your resume should be added to. Many teachers-especially at the elementary level-are certified for a broad range of ages and subjects. If employers can't decide whether you want to teach sixth grade social studies or kindergarten, she may toss your resume and move on the next, clearer resume. Be precise: "Seeking a sixth grade language arts teaching position."

· Teaching experience. Start with your current or most recent teaching experience and work your way back chronologically. If you're a new teacher, your student teaching experience-as well as any substitute teaching experience-will make up this section.

· Education. Again, list this in reverse chronological order, and make sure to include any continuing education or professional development you've participated in. If you're a new teacher, put this section above teaching experience.

· Certifications. You can't teach if you aren't certified,and employing someone who isn't qualified is every administrator's worst nightmare. Make it easy for them by putting your certifications and endorsements front and center. If it's in the works, put the anticipated date of your endorsement.

· Career-related awards. If you've been honored with a Golden Apple teaching award or some other education-centered award during your career, make sure you include it. Outside validation goes a long way with school districts.

· Associations and memberships. List the professional organizations to which you belong. For new teachers especially, these associations demonstrate your seriousness about your career.

The following sections are potential add-ins, depending on your situation.

· Profile. If you're an established teacher, a profile section can help define who you are. Think about your qualities, experience, and skills. Example: "A very creative high school history teacher with 10 years of experience, I'm dedicated to eliciting high levels of classroom performance from every student.

· Other work experience. This is only for new teachers or those with a large gap between teaching jobs. Try to play up the "educational" aspects of any job you list. For instance, if you were a docent at a local museum, emphasize how you taught large groups of people about ancient Egypt on a daily basis.

· College honors. Again, this is primarily for new teachers, though if you were a Rhodes Scholar, you're never too far removed from college to include that tidbit!

· Special skills. Like every other employer today, schools are looking to maximize the usefulness of their teachers. If you're fluent in a foreign language, for example, a small district with no current foreign language offerings may give your resume more weight because they can use that skill, as well as your primary teaching area.

Other Tips:

· Incorporate buzz words. If possible-and if it's true, of course-demonstrate your knowledge of and experience with some of the most popular trends in teaching. Things such as "team teaching" (or learning), "hands-on learning," "whole language," and "inclusion" are going to set off happy bells for potential employers.

· Highlight your innovative spirit. Whatever your teaching experience-even if only as a student teacher-you've had to get creative in the classroom. Include a couple of examples of innovative techniques you've developed that are transferable to a new position.

· Emphasize your willingness to be a team player. Teaching is often collaborative, so if you're able to demonstrate how you've contributed your time and skills for the overall benefit of a school-not just your own students-your resume will outshine most others.

It's Shark Week! Explore 5 Rewarding Marine Biology Careers

Ah yes, August is here. The dog days of summer are upon us. And for many, a long-awaited TV event finally arrives: Shark Week on Discovery Channel.

If Jaws scared you so much that you still refuse to go in the water, Shark Week provides another look at these amazing animals, the oceans they live in, and how humans are threatening their survival. (That's right. Believe it or not, we pose a much bigger risk to them than they do to us.) It also gives viewers a chance to see the amazing marine biology professionals who study, observe, and even swim with sharks in action.

Whether or not you're ready to don a wet suit and jump into a shark cage, Shark Week highlights marine biology careers of all sorts. Here's a look at our favorite careers that can put you at the forefront of marine study and conservation.

Marine Biology Careers

If watching Shark Week makes you want to don a snorkel mask, hop into a boat, and study the nocturnal feeding habits of a lemon shark, you should look into become a marine biologist.

Marine biologists are the scientists who study the plants, animals and bacteria that make up the ocean's delicate and elaborate ecosystem. In addition to being familiar with other principles of oceanography, such as chemical oceanography and physical oceanography, most marine biologists focus on one specific species to study throughout their career.

What you'll need to get started:

You will need a bachelor's degree in biology, marine biology, or a related field to get started. From there, you'll also need to pursue a master's and/or a doctorate degree.

Aquatic Scientist Careers

Do you love research? Do you want to be on the brink of environmental studies that can protect and preserve our oceans, lakes, and rivers? You may want to consider a career as an aquatic scientist.

Similar to marine biologists, aquatic scientists study literally everything about the water that covers much of our planet, from the chemical make-up to the temperature at the sea floor. Oceanographers study oceans and ocean life specifically, while limnologists study inland water systems, including lakes, rivers, streams, ponds and wetlands.

Within each of these broader fields, there are specialized scientists who study different parts of our oceans, lakes and rivers. Chemical oceanographers, for example, study and monitor the chemical make-up of the ocean, while physical oceanographers observe the ocean's currents and circulation, and how that affects sea life.

What you'll need to get started:

During your undergraduate education, pursue a bachelor's degree in biology, marine biology, or a related field to get started. The next step is an advanced degree, either a master's and/or a doctorate degree, to give you the research skills you'll need to further your career.

Aquarist Careers

Ever wonder who picks out and cares for those massive fish tanks in your favorite aquarium? Enter the aquarist. These professionals are responsible for collecting the fish in different exhibits, making sure they play nice with each other, feeding them, cleaning their tanks, and watching for signs of illness or injury.

What you'll need to get started:

In general, a bachelor's degree in biology, marine biology, or a related field will help you get started. By volunteering, interning or working at an aquarium, zoo or pet store, you'll gain hands-on experience that will give you an edge in the hiring process. You may also need a SCUBA certification for days when you'll enter the tank to care for and feed your charges.

Marine Mammal Trainer Careers

When you think of a marine biology career, do you think of the marine mammal trainers who swim with Shamu and the other orcas and dolphins at Sea World? If so, you're not alone. Marine mammal trainer careers at zoos, aquariums, and water parks remain some of today's most popular marine biology careers.

In addition to training the animals, marine mammal trainers are also in charge of feeding, cleaning the tanks, monitoring the animal's health, and coordinating with veterinarians and other park employees.

What you'll need to get started:

Although it's not necessary, a bachelor's degree in zoology, biology, psychology, or marine biology is a great way to start this career. You'll also need experience working with animals in a pet store, veterinarian's office, or related business. Volunteering is great way to get your foot in the door for these competitive jobs. And, if you have the time and resources, having a SCUBA certification is also highly beneficial.

Education Specialist Careers

Education specialists are like the docents of the aquarium world. They're the ones who coordinate special visits for school groups to see new exhibits, lead tours of the aquarium, and answer your questions about the suspicious-looking angler fish in the deep sea tank.

What you'll need to get started:

Many education specialists start out in another branch of the marine biology field, including working as an aquarist or helping with marine biology research projects. This means that a bachelor's degree in biology, marine biology or a related field will help you start this career path.

Chicken Soup for Job Seekers

Do you want to change your job but don't know the right way to go about it? Are you vacillating between waiting for your dream job or accepting the first one that comes your way? Or are you a fresher falling in line with what your parents wish you to be rather than what you wish to be? If this is the kind of situation you find yourself in, then the next few minutes will help you get a clearer picture. Here is our bowl of chicken soup for the job seeker's soul. Read on...


Searching for a job today is almost a job in itself because you are spending so much of your time and effort on it. Enthusiasm, excitement, anxiety, frustration and depression-all these are phases one encounters during a job search. The key point is to take this phase positively and persevere till you get that pot of gold at the end of your job search rainbow- your dream job. In today's cut-throat working environment, looking for a job is not just about working hard but about working Smart.


So to stay ahead of the herd, here are a few tips from the team of Naukri.com, India's No.1 Job portal-


1) Set your priorities right -Don't take a decision by simply imitating your friends, batch mates or depending on word of mouth. Be aware of what is really important to you and what is not, because once your priorities are set, things will automatically start falling into their place.


2) Resume writing - Employers are busy people and they hardly spend more than 30-45 seconds on a resume when they have 500 more to scan through. They are not interested in your entire history as they just want to know what you are best at. So, make your resume to the point and clearly showcase your key skills. In fact some recruiters prefer only single page resumes.


Try out the Resume Services provided by our counselors at Naukri.com.


3) Self-marketing is the key - When you are applying for jobs you are actually selling yourself. So, sound confident, positive and persuasive during an interview, but DO NOT exaggerate about your accomplishments.


4) Knowledge of your field - It is very important to know your field thoroughly. Brush up your knowledge on the who's who of the field, current trends, the competition, the dos and the don'ts and so on. Keep yourself abreast with the latest developments by keeping your eyes and ears open.


5) Tools of Job search - you could begin your job search by scanning newspaper classifieds, talking to job consultants and logging on to premier job websites. Be regular in your search, spend ample time on it and follow-up with the companies where you have applied.


For an internet job search and for Jobs in India you can log on to http://www.naukri.com and check out the vacancies available in your field of specialization.


6) Networking - It pays to know people in high places. Or in a job seeker's world "people in the right place". Networking is an important tool that can help you immensely during the job search. Track friends or contacts in the organization you want to be in, talk to them, and they might be able to open new doors for your dream job.


7) Have patience - 'Patience is a virtue'. Being desperate and anxious does not help much, rather it may spoil your job search. If it's your first step towards your career then think before taking each step. Don't feel inferior just because you are a fresher, after all you will be spending time, energy and intelligence on the firm that will hire you. Don't forget the fact that other employees cannot match the energy level of a fresher.


If you are already working somewhere then don't leave the job just because you are not happy. You're marketable because you are already working with a firm and have added work experience and value to your resume. So, wait for a while.

Maintaining Focus in Your Job Search

Unemployment has become rampant the world over. This has led to frustrations among the rising numbers of job seekers, thereby leading to unintelligent choices and decisions in relation to searching for jobs.

Fraudsters and con men have taken advantage on the situation and are luring unknowing individuals into parting with their hard-earned cash or savings. An employment seeker should be very sober and have a clear conscious when looking for a job, as con men are looking for any loopholes and opportunities to defraud the unemployed.

Frustration may lead one to choose on any job opportunity or vacancy that comes his or her way but this is very inappropriate. One should choose a career that he or she is comfortable with and not just any job due to frustration. A job is something that should be carried out with dedication and commitment and at the same time, one should be happy while working. If one chooses any job, doubts will definitely arise as regards to the commitment and happiness of the worker.

A job seeker should have a plan as to what he or she wants to do. The job seeker should make a number of considerations before taking up on a job opportunity. The following considerations could help in making the right decision.

1. What is the career line of the job seeker?

2. What are the requirements and qualifications needed for the available vacancy?

3. Would the available opportunity be enough to support the job seeker?

4. Is the job a permanent one or a short, part-time job?

5. Does the job have any incentives?

The above considerations are the major issues of concern that the job seeker should look at before making any major decision lest he or she regrets.

Construction Jobs Abroad - Overseas Jobs in the Middle East

It's true that the worldwide economic crisis has affected numerous industries, including construction, where companies in various countries have had to cut down on the number of employees they are hiring and retaining. However, certain areas of the world, particularly the Middle East, remain viable options for those who are looking for construction jobs abroad.

According to research undertaken by the Kuwait National Bank, ongoing and planned development projects in GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries -- i.e., the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia -- indicate that jobs will continue to be generated in the years to come. And while the recession has had a big impact on the construction, financial, and information technology industries in the UAE, the job market remains vibrant due to the value of those planned or ongoing projects.

In fact, according to the Kuwait National Bank's study, the aggregate value of those projects is approximately USD 2.1 trillion at the close of the second quarter of 2009. Moreover, the growth of development projects has been promising, at the rate of about 50 percent per annum.

Another promising study, this time conducted by Mercer, showed that approximately 73 percent of companies in the GCC region plan to increase their growth in 2009. One of the ways they aim to do this is by adding to their employee numbers. This "future" trend certainly seems to be true even now. Just browse through the web sites of international recruitment agencies and you will see plenty of job vacancies in the UAE and elsewhere in the GCC.

The region is a popular destination among top-notch expatriate workers in the building industry and other industries for many reasons: no income tax, the progressive yet culturally-rich environment, the diversity of people, etc. It can be an excellent career move for those seeking to work in construction jobs abroad

Picking the right location for you is highly important in terms of career as it will directly influence your attitude in facing your daily challenges ahead in work.

Besides that, specialization is also another factor you should take into account. IT job listings have a large and diverse database of jobs to choose from that would not just suit anyone. Taking that into view, remember to always apply for a job that you think you'll have the best chance of doing well and you're willing to learn from it. Do not apply a job for the sake of having a job unless it is your last option. Take time to go through all the possible choices of specialization offered that these jobs require and go for the best ones that will suit your capabilities.

Job Search - Skip the Headache and Reduce Job Search Stress

Searching for your ideal job takes time and effort, as well as knowledge. To reduce the headaches associated with the job search, take a look at these suggestions before you begin to start looking for your next job:

1. Have an idea of what kind of job you are seeking. Signing up willy-nilly for job fairs that specialize in positions that are outside your area of competence is a time-waster.

Be aware of your personal interests, the hours you want to work and your willingness (or lack thereof) to relocate. Make sure that you do not waste time on pursuing a job on the late shift or in another state if that would not fit in with your personal life.

2. Make sure that you have copies (hard and soft) of your resume, clips, samples, portfolio, college transcripts and relevant certifications so you will be able to include them when required.

3. Be aware of where to look for job openings. There are several options, depending on your situation. Here are a few of them:

The Internet - Searching online for job openings is not only a time saver, compared to knocking on doors, it is also less expensive than many of the other available options. You do not need to buy newspapers or magazines to browse through their "help wanted" ads and you do not need to burn any gas in travel. The internet also allows you to cast a wide net (so to speak), searching for jobs all over the country or even in other countries.

Newspapers - Traditionally one of the most widely used sources for job openings, newspapers post ads for jobs that are generally close-by, within easy commuting distance for the paper's readers.

Career/Job Centers - In general, such centers are aimed at young people, especially teenagers seeking their first jobs. Most vacancies at job centers are best suited for those under 18 and are rarely aimed at 20-something college graduates. The vacancies are updated on a regular basis, so if a job center has the kind of work you are looking for, it is a good idea to visit often.

Magazines and Periodicals - Trade publications for a given industry are a good place to look for jobs, as companies are interested in hiring the sort of person who keeps up with their field by reading such publications.

Offices - Most offices have a bulletin board somewhere with job vacancies posted on it. And once you are there, if you have your resume and other documents handy, you can proceed directly to the part of the office where applications are accepted and processed.

Finding Jobs in Ireland During the Recession

Job Prospects in Ireland

Like many other countries in the European Union, Ireland is currently going through a severe economic recession. Conservative figures put the employment rate at between 12%-13%, almost double that of 12 months ago. Construction industry Jobs are down almost 40% and many other sectors are not far behind. Many people would automatically assume that there are no Jobs in Dublin or Ireland, given the fact that there are more people leaving the country than arriving. It is true there are far fewer jobs in Ireland during the present time, but it is still a great country to live in. Ireland is a beautiful place with an exceptional education system, a massive rural and community life and plenty to see and do. It is also the chosen location for some of the largest multinationals in Europe including Facebook, Google, Yahoo and Intel.

The National Job Agency Fas

If you have decided to live in Ireland or you are currently unemployed in Ireland, then your first stop off will be FAS. FAS is a government agency set up to help the unemployed find work and gain training to improve their future job prospects. They have offices in almost every major town, where you can go to search for recent employment vacancies. They also have a massive variety of training courses for almost every career path there is. More importantly, they are there to give you advice and suggestions for almost any problem you may come up against when searching for a Job.

Local Newspapers

Secondly, if you are based in Dublin your must search through the classified section of the Evening Herald, where you will find a selection of recent Job Vacancies to suit any career. Cork City also has the Evening Echo, a daily tabloid with a variety of job listings. Both these newspapers usually contain hundreds of job vacancies from all over Ireland.

The Old Fashioned Walk In

In Ireland, especially in the service industry, it is quite acceptable to make a personal call into a Hotel or Restaurant in order to find a Job. This gives you a good chance of meeting the owner or manager. Irish people like to know how they are hiring, they like to get a feel for the person rather than a quick look at a CV. Remember, Ireland went into recession fast and it can come out of it pretty quickly.

I found myself unemployed at 39 and thought I'd walk into another job within a couple of weeks. Well, there were plenty of vacancies around but despite my carefully prepared resume and well written cover letter, I got but 1 reply to 25 applications over a 3 month period and that was just a simple thanks but no thanks.

Of course, this was a good few years ago now and the medium for finding new work was via the employment agencies, the local rags, or word by mouth. It's so much different these days with the opportunities unveiled with that information super highway. I could have done with a bit of electronic assistance back when I was out of work. It's so much faster than the postal service and much easier to research and follow up too.

Despite this, a job search is still seen as a necessary evil to many folks. A painful and humiliating process that makes them despise themselves with each rejection or ignored application. There are some people, however, that love a good job search. Some employment seekers just can't resist bouncing in and out of different jobs and positions, as they continue setting themselves up for new challenges and or promotions. It is possible to take the sting, the monotony, and the fear out of a job search. Here are a few suggestions on turning this loathing task into one you love.

Okay, so just how do we turn a job search into a less disturbing or intimidating prospect. Well, provided you follow a few basic instructions and guidelines, you can make your job search one heck of a lot more exciting and interesting.

The first big tip of a successful job search is to network. It might be the buzz word of the day, but networking should not be underestimated as a valuable string to your job search bow. You need to get to know as many people in the industry you are targeting as well in allied industries. This way, you will be more likely to hear about your dream job much sooner than anyone else does.

It's a fact that many jobs advertised in publications and on company notice board are taken even before the positions even go puublic. Statistically, it's something like 80%. The reason they are still advertised is a legal one. By law, a new job vacancy should be advertised fairly and for duration before it is filled. Even though a company will know who's filling the position before hand, they still have to go through this procedure to keep the workers rights brigades off of their backs.

The great thing about networking is that it's simple. You just need to join up with a number of clubs and associations that are related to the industry in question. As an example, if say advertising is where you want to be, find out more about the eligibility requirements of the Ad Club in your region. If there are frequent informal meeting of the ad crowd in certain restaurants/pubs in your locality, try to get invited and if you can't, invite yourself somehow. You can also attend seminars and conferences of interest to people in your targeted profession and this way, you could make your job search not just interesting, but fulfilling as well. I'm assuming you're looking for a job that you have a genuine interest in and not just a job for the sake of making a few bob of course.

But there's not just networking. If networking doesn't work for you, you can rely on the proficiency of good consultancy firm to help you land your dream position. Consultants can really be an essential element of any good job search as they work closely with the various industries.

A final tip is to comb online world of classifieds for temporary jobs vacancies. Most companies start off by offering smaller, part-time gigs, and short-term contracts, but if you get in and prove yourself as an asset, you will often be offered a full time post after a period of time.

Whichever method you go for, remember that a job search is only as interesting as you make it. If you convince yourself it's going to be nothing but stress and strife from the outset, then that's what you'll get. Concentrate your time and effort into a smart job search as opposed to a conventional job search and you will surely see the difference.

The information in this article has been put together to give you an understanding of the range of positions that fall into this category. There are actually many types of cleaning jobs. To find the latest openings the best approach would be to look online or sign up with an agency. It should not take you long to find a large number of positions you can apply to.

The following options are the most well known cleaning jobs that need to be filled on a regular basis. Before you apply to any position you should be clear on whether it is full time or part time position that you are interested in.

Falling under the category of full time cleaning jobs, the role of a general maintenance technician in a company or business would involve ensuring that sanitation is thorough at all times. This may include cleaning washrooms, floors, windows, and emptying any trash or rubbish. Occasionally an individual with this role would also be responsible for basic repairs such as to ensure bathroom fittings are fixed when broken.

A housekeeping job would primarily involve being accountable for certain daily chores alongside sanitation based activities. For example a housekeeper in an office would be responsible for cleaning the complete work-space on a daily basis. If the role is for a private home then the actual activities would be similar, though instead of cleaning office dirt, a kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms would be where most of the tasks lie.

There are companies that specialize in offering cleaning services. The duties may involve a wide range of sanitation based work. The great aspect of being employed by a cleaning firm is that the work can be varied and also you can enjoy being alongside other like-minded people.

Fill That Information Technology Job Vacancy

Recession or no recession, fresh reports suggest that now is a far better time than you may have thought for the information technology job market. According to one survey, permanent private sector jobs in IT across all sectors are growing at the fastest rate since 2007. Salaries are at their highest levels for more than 18 months, signalling a new upsurge in employer confidence.

In fact, with 110,000 people needed to fill jobs in Britain's technology sector each year, renewed efforts are now being made to attract young people into the industry.

Despite reports of overseas outsourcing and potential public sector cuts over the next 12 months, and a possible dip in the number of temporary posts, there are still plenty of opportunities for anyone looking for a job in IT, and strong technical skills will always be highly sought after.

If you're an employer and have an information technology job to fill, there are many benefits to using a specialist IT recruitment agency. One of the biggest advantages is the hours an agency can save an organisation's managers or human resources team. HR staff already have many conflicting demands on their time, and may not have specialist IT knowledge.

In particular, if you're a small business looking for someone to fill an IT role, you're probably already stretched, and your time will be doubly precious. There may simply not be enough hours in the day to write and design job adverts or sift through countless CVs. Equally, you may not happen to have the extensive interviewing skills which someone working for a recruitment agency will have.

IT job agencies are also equipped with all the right technical skills to identify the best candidate for an information technology job. Indeed, agency staff may well have previously worked in the industry themselves.

Agencies are aware of all the latest industry trends, and know exactly what to look for so that selection is as accurate as possible. If you just place adverts yourself, the adverts can be hit and miss.

Rather than going through a jobs board, specialist agencies will go directly to the people they know, making the whole process much quicker and more reliable. By the time you meet candidates, the agency will already have interviewed them personally.

Like any business, an IT recruitment service needs to charge for what it does. But consider the potential cost to your organisation of hiring someone who simply isn't up to the job. It can be a disastrous waste of time and money. Most agencies only seek payment once someone is in post for a few months and doing well.

A good recruitment agency will be with a client every step of the way, from drafting the advertising to advising unsuccessful applicants. With some reports suggesting it can take 12 hours of effort just to get someone into your office for an interview, you can see why employers turn to recruitment agencies.

Job Vacancies - Attracting The Perfect Candidate

An enormous pile of CVs to rifle through after a huge response to your job advertisement is all well and good, but how can you be sure that the owners of these CVs will actually have the skills required to do the job? How do you optimise the response to your advertisement so that you attract the perfect candidate?

Firstly, you must know exactly what the job entails. Knowing the title is not enough. If you want to attract the right candidate you have to produce a clear job description, detailing the position of the role within the company and expectations of the successful applicant.

Now ask yourself what your ideal candidate would be like. A person specification focuses on the skills, experience and qualifications that are needed for an individual to be successful. Consider what skills you are looking for in a candidate - would high academic grades be a good indicator of their suitability for the role or are soft skills more important?

When it comes to applicants' experience, think about specific areas rather than the number of years they have acquired, as this will ensure that you don't unintentionally eliminate those who have gained substantial experience in a shorter period of time than usual. A good indication of a candidate's social skills and attitudes towards others is what their interests and achievements outside of work are, so asking for these details can also be useful.

Both the job description and person specification are of considerable value when using recruitment agencies, as the more information you are able to provide them with, the more successful they will be in putting forward suitable candidates for consideration. You can maximise the effectiveness of your agency by providing comprehensive job and person specifications so they fully understand your requirements.

Think about the level of response you would like to receive from your job advert. For junior or graduate positions it might be better to have a greater choice of candidates, whereas for senior and specialist positions it is often more beneficial to receive half a dozen excellent applications rather than hundreds of standard ones, which is where a recruitment agency can prove to be an essential resource.

After assessing the competition and getting an idea of what other positions you are contending with, you can word your job description or advertisement so that it stands out. Words such as 'leading,' 'global,' and 'unrivalled' will work well in giving your company greater appeal than others.

Finally, before you place the advert or contact your recruitment agency, imagine that you are the applicant and ask yourself whether or not the job is appealing. 'Would I apply for this job if it were in my specialist area?' Making sure you focus on the benefits for the candidate should help to attract the right people.

Applying For a Job? Apply These Tips!

I have been reviewing resumes, responding to email and interviewing employment candidates my entire career and I have compiled a list of do's and don'ts that will most assuredly make a difference when you are applying for your next job.

No typos! Proofread your cover letter and resume well to ensure that there are no typographical or grammatical errors and ask a family member or friend to do so as well. Nothing gets your resume thrown in the trash quicker than errors. Why? If you make errors on these critical documents, an employer wonders what the quality of your work will be like if you were hired.

No employment history gaps! If you took time off to go to school, raise a child or care for an elderly parent, say so. Gaps in employment are huge red flags for employers.

If you are contacted via email to discuss a potential position and/or to set up an interview, proofread your email as well as you proofed your resume and cover letter. This is an excellent chance to make a great impression so also be clear, concise and kind in your prose.

Be timely in your email exchanges. If you only log into email once per day, this is the time to change that practice. While you are in active dialogue with a prospective employer, log in often so you can wow them with your responsiveness.

If you are invited for an interview, even though business casual is the norm these days, here is another chance to make a wonderful impression. You can never be overdressed. A business suit is never a bad idea in this situation. Equally important are your shoes being in good repair and if you are female, your handbag. Bring a notebook and pen to take notes. Not only does it keep your nervous hands busy, but it also shows the prospective employer that you are very interested in what they have to say.

Shake the interviewer's hand and look him or her squarely in the eye. Stand up straight and smile. Never sit at the head of the table which is a position of authority.

Ask questions. Come up with questions in advance so you don't feel put on the spot. Asking questions again shows interest, that you are thoughtful and that you want to make a well-informed decision should you be offered the position.

Be enthusiastic and wear a smile. Don't tell the interviewer that you are nervous. They already know that. Don't talk too much, but don't be shy either. A good back and forth dialogue is comfortable for everyone.

After the interview, shake the interviewer's hand, thank them for their time and then send a thank you email or even more impressive is a hand-written thank you note. Obtain the business card(s) of the individual(s) you interviewed with before departing if possible.

Follow these tips and you will definitely wow your future employer and when you actually land and start the job, keep all of these tips in mind as they will assure you a successful career!
