Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I have been looking for a job for months now with no luck. I’ve applied for dozens of jobs and attended three job fairs, but I haven’t had a single interview. What am I doing wrong? Signed Confused Dear Confused: It’s hard to say for sure why you are not getting any call backs. You might want to visit an Alberta Works Centre and talk to a Career and Employment Consultant about your job search.

Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
Your consultant can shed a little more light on what’s happening with your job search and give you some advice. You can find the Alberta Works Centre nearest you by clicking: http://humanservices.alberta.ca/offices. Employers are a great source of wisdom when it comes to job search tips. I attended a recent employer job-search tips presentation and took some notes. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it seems like some job seekers are making the same mistakes over and over. You might find some of these tips helpful. • Know what the company does, what positions they are trying to fill, and what skills your target job needs. • Try to talk to someone who works in the field or for the company to get a better understanding of the job you are applying for. • Do your own research. Recruiters don’t want to field phone calls from your mom or your spouse—they want to talk to you. • Your resumé should make it clear what kind of position you are applying to. • Don't start with negatives in your resumé... e.g., "Although I don't have any relevant experience, I am a hard worker." • Drop off your resume in person – it makes you stand out from the crowd. • Ask about money only when they ask you if you have any questions. • Networking is a fantastic, but underutilized job-search technique. • Volunteering is a great way to network and add valuable skills to your resume. • Joining professional associations is a great way to network. • Mentors can help you develop and find jobs. • Reach out to your friends and family – let them know what kind of job you are looking for. • Create a Linked In profile (virtual resumé) at www.linkedin.com. • Be ready to talk about your strengths and your weaknesses. Ensure your strengths relate to the job and be ready to explain how you are working on your weaknesses. • Be prepared for behavior-based interview questions. Look at the key required skills of the job have a great story to tell about when you have used those skills. • For video conference interviews, dress up, clean up your background area, eliminate noise and make sure no one else is home or walks behind you during the interview. For more job search tips, visit the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site at http://alis.alberta.ca. ALIS has more than 50 tip sheets for people who are looking for jobs. Good luck!
