You're probably already doing this, but be sure to write specific resumes and cover letters for every job. Include only your employment history that relates to positions for which you apply.





Print the job requisition and "parrot" the information contained in it. Lace your resume with their key phrases.





For example: If the job spec. says "resolve vendor or contractor grievances", place that phrase in the description of what you've done.





It's a tough market and nobody reads resumes anymore. If you want interviews, your resume must contain 'keywords' that employers are looking for.





Does your college, the one you just graduated from, have career counseling? Mine do. Counselors are great at identifying which skills you have and matching them to careers of interest to you.





Good luck.
Reply:I am a single mom, just blogging on my personal site about being between jobs. I have a suggestion that some might take offense to. First of all you will need a support system. If you know someone in the direct sales party plan business who is doing good at it, you might want to give her a call. Call somebody who is making money at it, and can teach you how to do the same thing. There are a few that don't require any start up. You have to be willing to talk to people .. it's worth a try. It really really is. Avon start up is $10. Butterfly Boutique start up is FREE. But with Butterfly you have to commit as your kit is on consignment. Look around and see what's out there that will work for you and your lifestyle. I just believe that you must have a support system, otherwise it will be more like work than fun and you'll be back where you started. Hope this helps!
Reply:You can apply for freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription, online tuition or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://wa7.info . Many of these companies have been in business for several years



Reply:umm... whats your degree???


You may have to widen your job search and move to another area. In todays economy thats probably the best bet for you.
