Google Alerts
• Secret Stuff: I’ve used Google Alerts most recently to
assist an individual with very unique skills. We were
able to pull employment posting one to three days
prior to the postings appearing on some of the major
job boards. This resulted with distinct advantage in
the job search process. Google Alerts also pick up
openings from Craigslist and many smaller boards,
most of which do not show up on the major job
boards.

30 Second Resume Test
• Take your one of your resumes and fold the
name/contact information towards the back of
the document (show example)
• Fold the employment history section towards the
back of the document (show example)
• Look at the remaining section of your resume. If
I as an employer have only 30 seconds to
determine what skills and accomplishments you
are bringing to my organization does the
remaining section of your resume reflect those
skills?
