Forbes must have caught my Ask the Headhunter post from yesterday, because today they are following up with an article about job hunting tips from recruiters.
“To succeed, you must narrow the search to a specific type of job, define skills and accomplishments that set you apart from the pack and keep at it until landing the job you want.
“Candidates must distinguish themselves from the mass of similarly qualified people,” says Ted Warren, president of Strategic Resources in Bellevue, Wash. “Working with a recruiter, the candidate must identify and quantify accomplishments. It’s not enough to say you were vice president of sales and marketing for XYZ Corp.–you’ve got to tell the prospective employer what you’ve accomplished, how you accomplished it and what you can do for them. Be prepared to back things up with facts and figures.”
