Identity is hiring an assistant social media strategist, and I've received several cover letters and resumes in the past week or so. I'm disheartened to say that only a select few stood out because job seekers are still making the same mistakes. Most are common mistakes that could easily be avoided by having two or three people review materials before sending them over to a prospective employer. It's been awhile since I had to review resumes, so along with some of the common mistakes, I'm also seeing some new additions to resumes that do absolutely nothing to help the job seeker secure an interview. ]]> http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/10/7-cover-letterresume-mistakes-how-to-avoid-making-them/feed/ 5 http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/10/identity-is-hiring-a-social-media-assistant/ http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/10/identity-is-hiring-a-social-media-assistant/#comments Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:36:17 +0000 Nikki Little http://identitypr.com/blog/?p=4826 http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/10/identity-is-hiring-a-social-media-assistant/feed/ 1 http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/08/the-not-so-surprising-state-of-magazine-readership-today/ http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/08/the-not-so-surprising-state-of-magazine-readership-today/#comments Wed, 10 Aug 2011 18:56:25 +0000 Stacy Butts http://identitypr.com/blog/?p=4552 I was reading Redbook over the weekend…yes, the actual magazine. Not the digital version. I’m a diehard fan of the hard copy. I don’t have a Nook or a Kindle. They don’t interest me.

Sure, sending your resume out to as many potential employers as possible is a good start, but ultimately, being able to form valuable relationships with other industry professionals is the best way to leave a mark.]]> http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/02/how-recent-pr-grads-can-take-that-extra-step/feed/ 4 http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/01/video-of-the-week-pink-ponies/ http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/01/video-of-the-week-pink-ponies/#comments Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:03:54 +0000 Amanda Bosherz http://identitypr.com/blog/?p=3434 http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/01/video-of-the-week-pink-ponies/feed/ 0
