IRINA'S COURSES
Latest courses by this instructor
“Trying to figure out how to answer the questions of salary expectations at a new job?
I personally prefer a concrete number, rather than a range for two reasons: 1) you’re telling the company to decide for you 2) you invite an opportunity for an offer that’s at the bottom of your range (and even go lower).
The general rule of thumb is a 15-20% of your current salary. If you’re still unsure, do research on Salary.com, Payscale.com, Linkedin Salary and Indeed Salaries.”
Your online application gets processed by ATS
"The applicant tracking system (ATS) helps recruiters by scanning for contextual keywords and key phrases, scoring them for relevance and showing only the most qualified ones to the recruiter."
Add a Customized LinkedIn URL
"Today, you must add your LinkedIn URL to your resume in the contact section. Recruiters are going to be checking your profile before they make the decision to call you, so make it easy for them to find you, by adding a live hyperlink to your profile."
Create a personal website
"Your website can include your resume, work samples, blog articles, etc. Taking the time to create a personal website will show employers that you have the technical compacity to create something on the web and be impressive to anyone who’s looking for an innovative employee."
