5 ways to make yourself MORE HIREABLE.

1: Dress like you care.
I've interviewed people in t-shirts, jeans, and sneakers. Instant rejection.
Overdressing is ALWAYS better than underdressing.
Dress appropriate, but err on the side of formality.

2: Tailored resume.
Anything longer than two pages is TOO LONG (for most jobs).
Customize it. Tailor it for each and every opportunity.
Remove skills that don't apply. Re-order skills to prioritize what they are looking for.
Simple, effective.

3: Know your resume!
Be prepared to talk about *everything* on your resume.
When I did hiring, I always asked about unrelated skills on resumes. If the candidate couldn't answer, their ENTIRE resume was in question.
I don't hire dishonest people.

4: You don't switch companies too often.
It's true, switching jobs is a GREAT way to boost your salary. But if you do it too much, it looks bad.
If you move every year, you're killing your chances of good job opportunities.

5: Smile.
Part of a job interview is for personality. Organizations want happy people in their offices.
Smile during your interview. Laugh when appropriate.
Be a sociable, easy-to-talk-to person and your hireability increases *drastically*.
