		<description><![CDATA[The biggest question on most people’s minds after losing a job is about financing. How will I survive until that next paycheck comes in? What will we do to pay the bills? How will I buy groceries? There are plenty of questions to ask yourself. Most people answer this with a part-time or even full-time job that serves as an interim way to stay afloat. However, there are many options out there.

		<description><![CDATA[In past articles, we&#8217;ve discussed the basic structure of a cover letter. In this article, we&#8217;ll walk you through turning your basic cover letter into an impressive cover letter.
Your resume outlines your career, skills, and experience. It is the most common means of advertising to potential employers. Unfortunately, few hiring managers enjoy reading resumes.  Your cover letter is a short concise means of selling the hiring manager on reading your resume. They don&#8217;t have to commit much time to read over the cover letter, so they are highly likely to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Choose every word in your cover letter carefully; you don&#8217;t have much room to sell them. Make sure your pitch is highly focused and maximizes the value you bring. The more valuable you appear in the cover letter, the more likely the reader will be to move on to your resume.
To help with choosing the best wording, we&#8217;ve included a few sample rewordings for your cover letter.



Job Requirement:

I am a people person


I fixed up two beaters I bought at a junk yard.


I like computers


I waited tables at a restaurant

		<description><![CDATA[Having spoken on a number of college campuses, I&#8217;ve seen firsthand that today&#8217;s college grads are unprepared for the competitive work force they are about to enter. The pursuit of your degree has taught you how to study, how to pass tests, and may have even taught you the most basic theories behind the job you may someday perform.
Unfortunately, it did not give you real experience and likely missed most of what you should know to effectively perform the most basic entry level tasks in your chosen career field. Worst ...]]></description>

Unfortunately many leave behind the experiences gained in the last several years to go into unskilled jobs. Luckily there is a way to turn your military experience into a great job. Use that experience to ace a certification or license examine.
Depending on your placement in the armed forces, the skills you learned may be highly valuable in the civilian world. In some states a number of skills require a license to ...]]></description>

They may have to meet with the team and share with them as well. Eventually they have to decide who to hire. Then in most companies, they will have to go to HR to permission to offer you the job. Most times they have to track down a supervisor to sign off on hiring you before they can even talk to the human resources department. Then before making the offer ...]]></description>

The interviewer’s objective is very similar to yours. They are interviewing to answer a few focused questions:  Is this person the best person for this job? Does this person really want this job?

In a recession, college grads are competing against job seekers with 10+ years of experience, even for entry level jobs.

This makes it very hard for most students to find a career, let alone a career that relates to their degree. Fortunately, there are still a few viable options for Echo Boomers &#038; Gen Next.
