If you’re currently in search of a job and need some tips for writing a resume, negotiating salary and how to have a successful interview, Reddit users at r/LifeProTips have shared useful advice for job seekers.
Here are their top three tips via Buzzfeed:
- “From here on out, make, ‘What was your company’s COVID response?’ a standard interview question.”
- “Keep a separate master résumé with ALL previous work experience. When sending out a résumé for an application, duplicate the file and remove anything that may be irrelevant to the position. You never know when some past experience might become relevant again, and you don’t want to forget about it.”
- “For those of you who are interviewing on Zoom, these tips helped me get three job offers”:
“Raise your camera to eye level or slightly higher. I prop my laptop up on a couple books. This keeps your gaze from pointing down. Eye contact is important, even on a video conference. Create a brief doc outlining key points you want them to know about you (including a ‘tell me about yourself’ intro) and several questions you have for them. Open the doc on your computer, and launch Zoom in a small window at the top center of your screen above this doc. Doing this keeps your eyes focused on the top of the screen while they are talking, making you appear more engaged than if you were looking, say, at the bottom left corner at the person talking. And having your notes just below just in case helps to calm nerves and keeps your thoughts clear.”
