Misconceptions during a job hunt can lead to grave mistakes and hinder your job search. It is important to understand the process involved in a job hunt and diligently strive towards your goal. Many people harbor certain myths about job-hunting. We take a look at some of them here.

Job Hunting Myths

-A Cover Letter Is Not Important: A cover letter informs an employer about your qualifications for the position you are applying for. The cover letter is also known as the letter of introduction or letter of application. A resume without a cover letter is considered incomplete.

-Job Search Right After College Is Easy: Identifying the right job immediately after college is not an easy process. The job you eventually land is greatly influenced by the your qualifications, skills and experience. While a few graduates do get jobs right away, many take a while before being considered for a suitable position in a decent company.

-A Well-Designed Resume Improves A Person’s Chances Of Getting Placed: Generally, flashy resumes don’t serve any good purpose. Additionally, it is not a good idea to send such resumes via email. Most employers do not even open very flashy resumes for fear of a virus. Job seekers should keep at least two copies of the resume ready at all times. One set should be very simple, with no special characters or bullets. This simple resume should be emailed to the employer. The other set should be well designed, with keywords highlighted in bold font. This resume should be carried with you to the interview.

-Frequent Job Hopping Is Negative: This is a common myth among job seekers. Some very quick job shifts, within a year, are not always well received. However, job-hopping is sometimes considered to be an opportunity to acquire new skills. Employers believe that one company cannot provide job progression for very long and individuals are sure to move on for growth. Every employer always looks for special ability in the employee to empower the business’s existent operations.

-Registering At Various Job Sites On The Internet Is Beneficial: Job sites online provide options and initial assistance. These job sites do not guarantee placement. Registering is fine, but constant action on your part is very essential. You must keep searching other avenues as well and explore every opportunity that comes your way.

-Better Qualifications Get A Better Job: This is perhaps the greatest misconception among job seekers. It is not always the most qualified person who is hired. Often, a person with the minimum qualifications and good communication skills is the one who gets placed faster. Employers seek employees who can serve the company loyally and use their skills to improve business returns.

Transferable skills are skills acquired on the job or through an activity. They can prove useful during a job shift. A job seeker must always describe his transferable skills in his resume, the cover letter and during the interview. The myths about job-hunting that haunt job seekers only add to the tension of securing a good position within a particular time frame. They do nothing more than hold you back from forging ahead and giving an interview your best shot.

Im searching for the title of a book. It’s plot includes hunting quail by inserting horse hair into a raisin, so the quail suffocates on them and dies. They then hide the quail in a baby buggy. Any ideas?

I really think it might be Danny by Roald Dahl. Not 100%, but I think that’s it.

And if not Danny, I know its Roald Dahl, and now it’s making me crazy!

Hunting for jobs nowadays is a very competitive and sometimes cut-throat affair. Here are a few tips to help you get the edge in searching out and landing the job of your dreams.

The Curriculum Vitae
The CV is the first, and at most times the most important part of applying for a job. Since potential employers have to whittle down practically hundreds of applications to a few valid ones, they will have to base their narrowing down efforts using the CVs they have collected.

Studies have shown that about half of the employers decide to accept or reject job applications based on the related work experience listed in the CV. A third of the employers decide to reject or accept these job applications based on the layout design of these applications.

1. Make Your CV Stand Out
When preparing your C.V, make sure your C.V stands out among the rest. It should be the type that is appealing to the eyes, making the evaluating personnel want to read the C.V. Step two is for you to make sure your CV lists the related work experience you have had in relation to the job you are applying for.

1. Make Your C.V Concise and Relevant
Avoid making your C.Vs too long. It may make it irrelevant to the evaluator. Remember that the employer is a person to whom time is important. If your C.V shows that you value his/her time while showing the most relevant information in the least amount of time, you will have won one important battle.

2. Always tailor your CV to the job.
You may have had previous experience that may not be related to the job you are applying for. Some people keep many different versions of their CV for different job opening purposes. Make sure your C.V is appropriate for the job. A one-size-fits-all C.V may not be the best way to go since the employer will have the impression that your previous efforts have not been focused enough to produce any specialization on your part.

3. Write about your achievements
You may add your achievements, but make your statements factual and relevant. It does not do harm to advertise yourself, but make your advertisement matter-of-fact and not just hot air. You may want to skip on listing your weak points as the C.V is not the avenue for such discussions.

4. Polish Your CV
Your employer will know if you have put enough time producing your C.V. If he/she sees that you have put sufficient and thorough effort into your CV, he/she will assume that you will do the same in your work. This is a big plus for you. It is not uncommon for some people to spend days or even weeks polishing and buffing their CVs.

Those who graduate from college are among the thousands of people who are looking for work. This doesn’t yet include those who have quit the current jobs or have been laid off due to budget cuts so the competition is tough.

Many applicants will look for work by sifting through the classified ads in the newspaper. Most companies use the Internet nowadays because it reaches a larger market. The firm can make a tie up with a job site or decide to put ads on the official website.

The person can become a member for free or pay a certain fee. Members can get alerts if there is a job out there that matches one’s work experience. These may come in daily or weekly via the phone or through email.

Those who want to respond to the matches can immediately send the resume to the potential company. It will also be a good idea to add a cover letter to make the application very formal.

Some sites even give the individual the option to let recruiters view one’s resume. After the applicant has applied for a certain job, there is a status section so that the person will know if the recruiter has reviewed this or it has been rejected.

The applicant can use the major search engines to be able to find these job sites. It will be a good idea to be a member of at least two or three to get a lot of exposure.

Most job sites will require the person to fill some personal details. It is only after this has been completed that the newbie can upload the resume. The member also has the option to put a pic in the website so that recruiters will have an idea how the applicant looks like.

There is another kind of job hunting site that could be very useful. This is called a blast resume wherein an attachment of the applicant’s application is sent randomly to various companies in the hopes of getting interviewed for a job.

Is it effective? Some people say yes while others do not agree. This is because it sometimes reaches the wrong companies and no one with those types of qualification are needed in the workforce.

Of course, the end justifies the means. So, those who are still looking for work should use whatever resources there are to land a job and get paid for doing something that the person is good at.

To date, there are more than 10 job sites that people can view in the Internet. Is there one site that does the better over the others? The answer is no because some specialize in a certain field while others have a broad base which caters to workers from different fields.

Some of these job sites offer opportunities in other states or countries. Those who are thinking of moving somewhere else to start over can check these out and then send an application.

The applicant should be aware that there are other people who may be more or under qualified vying for the same position. The person should just hope that the credentials one has is sufficient enough to the company’s standards to be able to get the job.

If the company doesn’t call back, the only thing anyone can do is wait for a call from another recruiter.

My sincere interest started when I was a teenager, and that was back in the 70’s. There weren’t many books out about the subject then, so I basically read anything I could get my hands on. Fictional ghost stories, anything doing with hauntings across America, Hans Holzer was big then when it came to the paranormal, so I grabbed anything he wrote.

Nowadays, between the amount of books out, and the television shows, it’s become quite easy to learn about the paranormal. Nevermind all the equipment, all I had back then was a 110 camera and a tape player that was about the size of a sheet of paper…yes, they were huge and awkward to hold.
