ORLANDO, FL, November 05, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With the recent recession and economic downturn, young people are finding it harder than ever to get work. With so many older people having lost jobs in the recession there are plenty of people with experience searching for new work and this has an impact on young people because they are not as experienced, and their skill sets are not matching up to those that employers are after. Because of this many young people are landing extremely uninspiring jobs that do not offer them a chance to progress. This means that their skill sets rarely develop which holds them back in the future. Emie Marketing Inc. hopes to change this by offering tips to young people to help build their resumes and develop their skills.
Emie Marketing Inc. believes that job seekers could boost their chances of being hired by improving their resume and has put together their top tips on how to do so:
Don't use a 'hotmail' or 'yahoo' email address.
Employers often discriminate against people who use these addresses on their resume because they are seen as 'not with the times.' Domain names have become an important factor and with many people putting their contact details first on their resume, using these addresses can risk the rest of the resume not even being read. Emie Marketing Inc. suggests using a Gmail address as they look 'cooler' and more professional.
Make it easy to get in contact.
Emie Marketing Inc. believes that it is important to put multiple forms of contact on the resume to give the employer the best chance of getting in contact. If there is only a telephone number available and it is not answered the first time they try, they may not try again whereas if there are multiple methods of contact the employer can try all of them.
Hyperlink your LinkedIn profile.
Firstly, Emie Marketing Inc. says that if you do not have a LinkedIn profile, set one up. LinkedIn looks professional and employers can see all your skills at a quick glance. Then customize the LinkedIn address and add a hyperlink to the profile on the resume.
Add in job titles.
If the current job title doesn't make sense or sounds generic don't be afraid to make appropriate changes. Emie Marketing Inc. believes that the closer the job title is to what the employer has asked for the more chance there is of an interview but don't lie, only do this if the job role does match.
Emie Marketing Inc. has highlighted the skills and attributes that direct marketing firms are looking for. These include confidence because they have to make sales pitches every day, social skills because they will be dealing with people on a daily basis and entrepreneurial spirit because there is often chance to progress within these firms.
