In This Issue
In this month's issue, our focus is on being prepared. The cover letter is a good first step. While some may feel it's a small part of the job search, it's actually an important part. With more candidates vying for the same position, the cover letter is a chance for you to set yourself apart. Learn why.
Along the same lines of preparedness, what about education. Do you need more? In some cases the answer is yes, in others it could be more of a blurred line. You may not require a full degree, but some specialized training. The good news, many programs are available online and are much more affordable. Read about which options are available and right for you.
One of the hardest parts of the job search process is salary negotiations. Even the most experienced job candidate can become intimidated. Fear not. With some careful planning, you can approach salary negotiations with ease.
And lastly, in recognition of Administrative Professionals Day, the AJE team would like to thank the efforts of dedicated support staff everywhere. |
