How to Write an Acceptance Letter for a New Job

In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, a personal touch can make a big difference.

Introduction to How to Write an Acceptance Letter for a New Job

In today's world of e-mail, PDAs and cell phones, writing and mailing an acceptance letter when you've been offered a job might seem passé. Yet the acceptance letter is still one of the best ways to formally accept a job offer, reinforce your professionalism and remind your future employer why they offered you the position in the first place.
Even if the company offered you the job over the phone, sending a job acceptance letter is a professional courtesy.

This guy's first mistake: putting "resume" at the top.

How to Write a Resume

­
­You always heard not to judge people on first impressions. Unfortunately, when it comes to your resume, your potential employer will be doing just that to you. Though you may pour your heart, soul and life story into that important document, chances are employers will pitch it after glancing at it for a few seconds. After all, they've probably got hundreds to read, and for a myriad of possible reasons, yours failed to entice them. It doesn't mean you're not qualified for the job. It might just mean you need to approach your resume with a new perspective and armed with some effective tips.

How to Set Career Goals

Setting specific, achievable goals provides direction and act as a measure of progress.

Introduction to How to Set Career Goals

For a few very fortunate people, finding the right career is a matter of luck. But for the rest of us who don't wake up one day to our dream jobs, getting into the right career takes a little bit of planning. A major part of that planning involves establishing -- and working to achieve -- your career goals.
Did you know that average employed Americans spend more than half of their waking hours each day working [source: Bureau of Labor Statistics]? This means that your career is likely to be a huge part of your life, let alone your time. Also, studies show that having obtainable objectives can lead to increased job satisfaction, better self-esteem and improved overall well-being [source: Helms]. With these facts in mind, devoting some time to planning your career path makes sense.

How to Prepare for a Job Interview

A few minutes of preparation beforehand could make the difference in your next job interview.

Introduction to How to Prepare for a Job Interview

We all have our interview horror stories: the twenty-something human resources rep who kept calling you by the wrong name and texted her friends mid-interview; the panel of aggressive senior managers who made you feel like you were on trial for crimes against employment; and, of course, the time you forgot to wear pants. No, wait -- that was an actual nightmare.

How to Fill Out a Job Application Correctly

A job application is an important contact with a prospective employer. So before you head for the company or agency, make sure you have everything you'll need [source: Job Application Preparation].

• A good blue or black pen You don't want to ask the receptionist for one.
• All the necessary information Be prepared to record your employment and educational history, and to provide recommendations and references (including names, phone numbers, and addresses).
• Copies of your resume Always bring copies of your resume with you.

Once you have the application in hand, follow these guidelines [source: Job Application Tips]:

1. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the application form.
2. Think before you write, so you don't end up crossing out anything. For example, don't put your last name in the "First Name" box.
3. Write carefully and legibly. This is especially important on long applications when your hand gets tired. Rest a moment, if necessary.
4. Be accurate and honest. Many interviewers base their questions on what you wrote, so don't get caught in a lie.
5. Fill out everything. If something doesn't apply to you, write "N/A" or something similar.
6. Explain any large gaps in your employment history.
7. Be serious. Humor has its place, but a job application isn't one of them.
8. Ask for clarification, if necessary. It's better to know than to guess.
9. Ask for additional time after the interview, if you don't have enough time to complete the forms beforehand.
10. Check over your application carefully before handing it in. Check for any spelling errors, missing information or inaccuracies.

Good luck in landing that job!

How to Do an International Job Search

Have you ever dreamed of living and working in an exotic locale or making a fortune as an international business mogul? Maybe you work in an industry where all the real opportunities or scientific advances are happening overseas, or you're a new grad hoping to spend a year or two after college experiencing life abroad before you enter the "real" working world back home.

How to Do a Local Job Search

A job seeker looks at listings at a career center in Oakland, Calif.

Introduction to How to do a Local Job Search

Finding a job can be an exhausting process of resume writing, application submissions, interviews and phone calls -- not to mention all the stress, anticipation and potential rejection. If you're focused on a finding a job close to your home, there are some particular pros and cons to consider. You don't have fly to another city for an interview or worry about relocating if you get the job, but you're considerably narrowing the field of potential jobs.

If you don't listen to your intuition during your job search, you could end up in a bad situation. 

10 Ways to Spot the Wrong Job for You

The economic slump that started in 2007 has turned the typical job search upside down. No longer are companies aggressively courting new talent. Today, job seekers have to do the courting -- and they need to do it well enough to beat out a huge field of competitors.
As the job market shrinks, companies can be especially choosy about their new hires. In the process, some hiring managers are making well-qualified candidates feel like they should feel privileged to get hired for a low-paying entry-level job with no upward mobility and lousy hours.

Job interviews are stressful enough without you sabotaging yourself. But you'd probably be surprised how many strikes job seekers put up against themselves before they ever answer a single question.

10 Ways to Ruin a Job Interview

I wasn't looking for a job, having already committed myself to the vagaries of a freelancer's life. But when a huge publishing house in New York City asked me to interview for a position, I couldn't say no. If nothing else, perhaps, I could walk away with some contract work.
As I sat in the lobby, my prospective boss came out to greet me. She was young. So young. Too young. Very young. Not that I have anything against young people -- I used to be one myself. Yet, when I see a person her age in a management position, I know she isn't making a lot of money, which means, neither will I.
We walked into the conference room where two other Lil' Rascals were waiting. Suddenly, I wanted out, but it was too late. We went through the usual pleasantries and got down to business. As far as job interviews go, it went well. I told them all the right things and nodded my head at all the right times, all the while staring at their un-wrinkled faces and trendy haircuts. I even managed to seem excited.
Then I decided to commit hari-kari. When I thought the time was right, I tactfully asked Darla, Alfalfa and Spanky what the job paid. Perhaps it was arrogance, perhaps pride. Maybe I wanted to show that I was doing them a favor by interviewing. It didn't matter. I smirked, or perhaps grimaced, when they told me. I thanked them for their time and off I went.
I never heard back. Go figure! While I purposely sabotaged that interview, many people don't know any better. One colleague said she received a resume from a person where every line was a different color. "We just HAD to write her back and tell her how unprofessional it was." Then there was the candidate who sent in her resume on a cake. Yummy, yes. Interview? No!

10 Tips for Your Job Search

Searching for a job these days might take a little creativity.

Do you remember looking for your first job when you were a teenager? Do you remember how easy it was? You'd turn to the classified ads in your hometown newspaper, circle a few possibilities, then show up to each of them in person to fill out applications. Or maybe you'd pop into your favorite stores at the mall and inquire there. Possibly, your parents or another family member got you a part-time job in the mailroom where they work. You never had to fuss with résumés, your lack of job experience wasn't a liability and your salary expectations almost always hovered in the minimum-wage range.

Your résumé contains a lot of information about you, but it doesn't have to include everything.

10 Things to Leave Off Your Résumé

Most of us know what key things we should put on our résumés -- recent jobs, important awards, academic degrees related to the job, and of course a clear and easy way for your potential employer to contact you. But how much do you know about the things you should never put on a résumé? Are there résumé items so heinous they might disqualify you from even being considered for the job?
You might not be aware that résumé styles have changed quite a bit in recent years. Things that were de rigueur on résumés 10 years ago are passé today. Read this list of 10 résumé killers to find out why that objective you spent an hour writing is a waste of space, why a potential employer might throw your résumé straight into the garbage if you mention your religion, and why references have no place on a modern résumé. Let's start with our first no-no: a picture is not worth a thousand words.

10 Questions to Ask at a Job Fair

Job seekers speak to recruiters at a San Francisco, Calif., job fair.

The scene is the same across the country -- eager men and women in suits and business skirts, résumés in hand, waiting for hours in long lines for entrance to a job fair. Three years into the global recession, the United States is still losing jobs faster than it can create them. For laid-off workers, job fairs represent one of the few opportunities to meet face-to-face with companies that are actually hiring.
At a job fair, dozens or even hundreds of companies send recruiters to promote their business, advertise job openings, screen potential candidates and collect resumes. Some job fairs are targeted to college students and recent graduates, while others are aimed at a particular job sector, like health care, education or hospitality. Still others are organized especially for women or minority applicants. In this tight job market, attendance at all job fairs has skyrocketed.

10 Job Interview Tips

Don't fall prey to common interview pitfalls.

 

Introduction to 10 Job Interview Tips

Unemployment rates have historically risen and fallen, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in May 2010, there were nearly five candidates for each job opening [source: Bureau of Labor Statistics]. For anyone looking to land a job, that means one thing: competition. Making the most of every job interview is critically important. You need to walk in and give the prospective employer every reason to hire you -- and no reasons not to.
The right experience and a solid résumé are important -- they're probably what got you the interview in the first place. But they're not enough. Employers are looking for somebody who will fit with the company. They want to know that you're compatible with the company culture and have the necessary people skills. They're looking for the qualities that come out only in an interview: enthusiasm, professionalism and the ability to perform under pressure.

Writing a letter that will grab a hiring manager's attention quickly can be challenging. 

10 Completely Wrong Ways to Write a Cover Letter

Chew on this, job-hunters: According to a Creighton University survey of 600 hiring managers and human resources personnel, more than 85 percent of U.S. employers feel cover letters are important or very important -- yet they only have time to give them a 15-second glance. That means when you sit down to craft your cover letter, you've got to do two things: Write a strongly worded piece that will quickly grab the hiring manager's attention, and make sure it doesn't include any glaring errors or unprofessional components that will cause him or her to quickly chuck it in the circular file, no matter how compelling its contents. Sounds like quite the challenge. But don't worry -- it's actually easier than you think. When drafting your next cover letter, just don't do any of the following 10 things.
