Given the current market conditions, sending resumes alone may not be enough to land you that new job. Companies now have a wider range of candidates to choose from and can take a longer time to make hiring decisions. Here are some suggestions to help you increase your chances of getting noticed by a prospective employer:

• Job fit – You may feel that you are suitable for the job but is this reflected in your resume? Have you highlighted the specific achievements or areas that would fit perfectly into the new position that you are applying for? If possible, engage the services of a professional recruiter or resume writer to honestly critique your resume.
  
  
• Manage expectations – You may be able to increase your chances in this current employers’ market by tempering your salary expectations. Be open to negotiations about pay and benefits.
  
  
• Secure strong testimonials – Find testimonials from persons from within the industry. This will make a big positive impact on your resume.
  
  
• Keep an open mind – Stay open and flexible to accepting contract or temporary positions.
  
  
• Don’t overdo it – Don’t flood the industry and every recruitment agency in town with your resume! You will risk losing your credibility with future employers.
