In previewing the quality of a resume, I encourage job seekers to use www.rezscore.com to see how a resume scans. It is interesting to see what the scan picks up as keywords and what industries it selects for the resume according to the information in the resume. Give it a try.

It is most intriguing how the social media can be used in finding the right people to assist in a job search. I just heard about a student who got an internship because he tweeted the president of a company.

There are ways to find the key people, it just takes time to learn to most efficiently use the social media sites. Linked in is still my favorite, but they do like to constantly change the format, so just staying current with that one site is a challenge, but well worth it!
