When targeting a resume to a job you want, it’s important to think about transferable skills from past jobs as well as exact skill matches. For example, the health care job he wants requires project management. Well, although his old resume never used that precise phrase, in previous jobs he had been in charge of making things happen from beginning to end, overseeing each detail and achieving successful outcomes. That’s project management. So I explained that we can rephrase how he described previous jobs to add that skill (and key phrase), which he actually has.Read more at Work Coach Cafe

Community Camp - RISD - Apr 23
There will be a Job Search Jam Sessions track at Community Camp, April 23!
Community Camp is an informal, participant-driven unconference that brings together small business owners, artisans, students, job seekers and other members of the community. We'll share what we have learned on reaching out to the local and global community. We'll have a conversation about how participating in groups is an effective tool to make our voices heard.
Sessions will be held in the following topics:
As an unconference, Community Camp requires active participation from attendees, either in asking questions and engaging in discussion or in leading a breakout session. Sessions may be prepared and announced in advance, but they may also be organized on the fly at the event.
When: Saturday, April 23, 2011 – 8:00 am to 1:30 pm
Where: RISD Auditorium, 17 Canal Street, Providence, RI 02903
What does it mean to have a 'track'?
Amongst the sessions during the day, there will be a series of them focused on the job search with an emphasis on social media.
What is a Community Camp?
Community Camp is an un-conference about social media and online networking. It is an open and collaborative event with discussions and interaction from attendees. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join. Some sessions will be planned ahead of the event, but plenty of spaces will be open for the topics YOU want to discuss and learn.
Why should I go?
Community Camp is all about social media/networking, and its relevance and usefulness to community, business and otherwise.
If you want to register, please do so here
Or save some money:
There is a special deal for those who want to go but are un-employed or under-employed! Steve Sherlock has arranged to provide four (4) tickets to help job seekers attend.
How do I get one of those tickets?

Take some one with you
One of the most baffling things about job search is that we are not trained for it. If you’re new to the job market, you don’t really know the process. If you’ve job searched before, things have probably changed a lot since the last time you were looking for a job.Carrie Krueger goes on to list the key ways the search has changed.
One key that I would add to her listing: you are not alone in your search, you should not go alone on your search!
The network you build should do two things for you; help you spread the word on what you do and how you do it as well as provide some support for you in the process. Ja-Nae talked about vulnerability here recently. Recognizing that you need not go alone I think is key to your success.

Better Jobs Faster
How do you do that? There is a website that can help. Better Jobs Faster
You create a profile, provide your details, you are allowed leeway in who sees what you put there section by section.
One slick feature that I like is the capability to create two profiles: (1) professional and (2) for social media. This is the only site I have come across that allows you to do so.
The site is a creation of Dan DemaioNewton. Dan spoke at the Hopkinton Networking Group meeting the day of the Job Search Jam Sessions. He was well received and will be back later this year.
