IRVINE, Calif--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CyberCoders, a leading worldwide recruiting firm that uses technology and exceptional recruiters to find optimum careers for qualified candidates announces the 10 ways jobseekers can land a job in 30 days. In competitive job markets in areas such as technology, sales and healthcare, recruiters offer the following tips to secure a new job.
CyberCoders’ 10 Ways to Get a Job in 30 Days:
1. Create a resume that will get attention and secure
the interview.
A resume is a primary marketing tool and should quickly
indicate to a hiring manager that the candidate has the qualifications
needed for the job. Executive recruiters suggest that a resume should
keep wording short and concise, list accomplishments rather than duties,
exclude personal interests and ensure there are no grammatical errors.
Keep a resume to two pages or less and skip the cover page.
2. Apply only to job openings which are a fit.
A
candidate saying they are a “quick learner” is like saying they lack the
required job skills. While hardly anyone possesses all of the
skills listed in a job description, one will not get the interview
unless he or she has at least 75 percent of the requirements. Ensure
that the job description is a match for the candidate before applying.
3. Research the potential employer.
Spend some quality time
reviewing the company’s website to get a full understanding of the
company’s services, products and company culture. Recruiters suggest
that candidates offer their knowledge of the organization when
appropriate during an interview and then elaborate on why they would be
an asset if hired. Knowing a firm’s competitors can also be helpful on
an interview. Using company
review sites such as CareerBliss.com can be a great way to see what
employees have to say about a company through their reviews section and
salary listings.
4. Is the company a cultural fit?
After researching a
potential job, ensure that the candidate has a sense of the company
culture. Often a company’s culture can be a key factor in determining
whether an employee is happy with their employer.
5. Be prepared to move where the jobs are.
CyberCoders
consistently researches where the job openings are nationwide.
Currently, large cities such as New York and Los Angeles have the
highest number of job openings in industries such as technology,
healthcare and sales. The full list includes:
| Los Angeles, CA |
| New York, NY |
| San Francisco, CA |
| San Jose, CA |
| Boston, MA |
| Washington, DC |
Being open to relocating can make or break whether one gets a job in 30 days. Many candidates who received their job through CyberCoders move to a new city for a few years to get the experience they need and then relocate to the city they really want to live in after they improved their knowledge base and resume.
6. The jobseeker must sell their qualifications during the
interview.
Ensure that the interviewee understands why the
candidate is qualified for the job. Sharing past accomplishments in a
way that is relevant to the current job opening can be a strategic way
to ensure the hiring manager knows the candidate’s capabilities without
boasting.
7. Be flexible on salary.
Being flexible and willing
to compromise can be a great asset in today’s hiring environment. Look
for additional bonuses if the salary is not the exact salary requested.
Benefit programs and employee incentives can also be a factor in
determining overall long-term happiness in the end these types of
programs may equate to be more valuable than a salary increase.
8. Looking for a job is a full time job.
CyberCoders
recruiters say that candidates looking for a job can spend up to 8 hours
a day researching job opportunities. They suggest treating a job search
as a full-time job. Candidates who are up to speed on the latest job
postings often have the upper hand. CyberCoders offers job alerts right
to your mobile which can help candidates apply for a job as soon as it
is posted. Posting resumes on Monster.com, CareerBliss.com,
CareerBuilder.com, LinkedIn.com and CyberCoders.com can be key when job
hunting.
9. Revamp one’s online presence if necessary.
Most
hiring managers in today’s job market will research a candidate’s
background and their online reputation. Ensure that content posted on
social media sites represents the same brand presented at the time of
the interview.
10. Timing is everything.
Recruiters say timing has a
large impact on overall hiring performance. They suggest that candidates
be open to possibilities researching and networking at every opportunity
and being ready if a job
opening happens to have their resume in hand for the opportunity.
Heidi Golledge, CEO and Co-founder of CyberCoders, remains highly optimistic about job opportunities for candidates and says, “Recruiters work hand in hand with hiring managers, to ensure they find candidates that will grow and propel their brands.” Recruiters work with thousands of jobseekers to find the right career fit and are typically paid by the company to find the best candidates. They work with candidates at no cost to find the best possible position and help the employee negotiate a great compensation package.
“At CyberCoders, we see that the most successful new employees are those who understand their strengths, come prepared for the interview and research their potential employer to ensure the company is a right fit on multiple levels,” says Golledge.
