What Makes Your Blog Unique?

Written by a team of certified professional resume writers (CPRWs) with real-world business experience, along with expert guest bloggers from the recruiting and HR fields, The Pongo Blog covers job search in plain English without sugar coating, to give our readers the best chance to get noticed and get job offers in a tough market.

Advice

  • Summarize your most relevant and impressive qualifications on your resume.
  • A well-written cover letter can strengthen your resume and minimize its weaknesses.
  • Likability and enthusiasm are as important as qualifications, maybe more so.
  • Interviewers love candidates who are well-prepared (because most aren't).
  • Everyone has employment gaps. Just explain them briefly and honestly.
  • Employers will Google you: make Facebook private and LinkedIn public.
  • Network with everyone, from baristas to bank presidents.
