7 Links for job seekers

Need resume help?

Go here. https://www.jobscan.co/blog/top-job-search-experts-to-follow-on-linkedin-for-2020/ I’d save the hours of angst writing a resume and sit down with a resume writer and then tweak whatever they give me but then again, you saw my second word above, “lazy”. 

Indeed

How to research a company and why

This was an article on Indeed’s blog but is well worth highlighting specifically. https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/the-complete-guide-to-researching-a-company The great big irony of a job search is that both candidates and hiring mangers very often spend more time doing the research on a new tv than getting a job or an employee. Do your research and be more objective and selective. From a candidate’s perspective, you can afford to be more selective, it’s that economy.
