Presentation:

“Secrets Recruiters Don’t Want You To Know”

During this presentation, you will gain insight into what corporate and agency recruiters look for when they are evaluating your qualifications. These days, you must do more than applying on job boards. There are far more candidates applying for the same positions, so you have to differentiate yourself. You will learn what recruiters like and don’t like, what teeny tiny corrections make a huge difference, and the best strategies for moving past your competition in 2017. Some of the topics you’ll learn are:

• Deep dark secrets about why keywords really matter and how to choose them
• What to say during a phone screen to get a “yes”
• When you should and should not mention the Tampa Bay Rays during an interview
• Secrets about thank you letters and how they can make or break your success
