Tips for Finding Good Jobs

When searching for jobs, it is easy to focus on common terms. However, to find the best jobs, use keywords that capture your unique skills or experiences. For example, “Sales Manager” is a common phrase across many industries, but “selling to hospital ER rooms” is specific.

To find good keywords, review your résumé and ask yourself “what on my résumé makes me different than everyone else who had similar jobs at other companies.” This will focus your attention on good keywords and lead you to jobs you should be a great fit.

When looking at the results from your search, see how many stars you receive. If you are getting 3, 4, and 5 star ratings, then you are searching on the right terms. If you are getting 1, 2, and 3 star ratings, then you probably need to search on other terms.

Job fit rating will help you focus on the jobs that best fit you. Use it as an advantage and watch your success rate improve.
