 When looking for potential employees, companies often search
for keywords and skills, rather than extracting information from a list of
resumes. This unique method of searching affords you the opportunity to
demonstrate the skills you possess, and highlight your key attributes. Follow
these tips when searching for a job on Pure Michigan Talent Connect:
- Identify your unique skillset, and then list them
accordingly within the ‘Top Skills’ section of your Talent Connect profile.
- Search for job postings using a “broad net.” This could
include modifying the radius of the location you are searching in, changing key
words, and trying to connect your skills with what employers are looking for.
- You may also add “filters” to your job search to make it
more manageable. In order to receive a number of matching entries, try not to
be too restrictive in your job search.
- Remain informed. Check out the ‘Featured Jobs’ section on
the Talent Connect site; follow us on
Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook; subscribe to the
Job Connect newsletter (www.MiTalent.org/newsletters); and log in periodically to your Talent Connect
account. After 90 days of inactivity, you
are no longer viewable by employers, so be sure to keep your profile updated,
and login on a consistent basis.
Feel free to contact your local Michigan Works! office for further assistance with your job search. You can find the office nearest to you at: http://michiganworks.org/.
