Resume Help and Interview Prep with LeKecia Lovett

5/18/2017

0 Comments

 
Last Thursday we had the chance to sit down with LeKecia Lovett of Encompass Solutions to learn about how to increase our chances of getting a job by creating resumes that will catch an employer’s eye, along with how to interview like a professional. The following tips apply to any job in any field, and cover a variety of fields, so there is something for everyone to learn. 
​ 
Writing a Resume
  • Remember that resumes are only meant to get you an interview, not the job.
  • Don’t talk about your hobbies, however interesting, if they’re not relevant to the position to which you are applying.
  • A resume should include the following sections: Heading, Summary of Qualifications, Work Experience, Education, Skills & Abilities, and References.
  • Including a cover letter to explain why you are a good fit for the positon you are applying for is also a good idea.
  • There are three types of cover letters:
  • Letter of Application-Used to apply for a specific positon within the desired company
  • Letter of Inquiry-Used to show interest in eventual openings within a company
  • T-Zone Cover Letter-Used when you have met most of the requirements included in the job description.

Interviewing Like a Pro
There are seven steps to planning an interview. They are:
  1. Researching the organization to show your interest and stand out from other candidates.
  2. Compare your skills and qualifications to the job requirements.
  3. Prepare responses to standard interview questions.
  4. Wear neutrally-colored, formal, and neat clothes that are professional.
  5. Bring your resume, a notepad, list of references, and any information needed to complete an application.
  6. Pay attention to non-verbal communication.
  7. Follow up with questions for the interviewer about the company, and a thank-you.

Group Night is held at New Beginnings.  Every Thursday, we meet as a group to discuss important life skills and educational topics.  Discussions are led by community volunteers and can cover a broad range of topics.
