GEICO's Tips for Job Seekers

It never hurts to be prepared when it comes to a job search. Here are some suggestions from GEICO to help get you ready.

Resumes:

• Remember, you’re telling a story – a very important story – about your work life. Let it show a little of your personality and your enthusiasm.
• Highlight the relevant experience you have for the job you want. Tailor the resume to that particular job.
• Be specific about the work you’ve done. Show the results of projects you’ve worked on and the success stories.
• Keep it short. Add some details, but not too many, especially if they won’t be useful to the job you’re seeking.
• Be positive. You’ve accomplished much in your past work experience, and we’d like to see that pride.

Interviewing:

• Be prompt for your interview.
• Be prepared.
• Be courteous.
• Make eye contact.
• Have a firm handshake.
• Listen carefully.
• Be clear about what value you would bring to the company and the job.
• Be honest with the company.
• Be honest with yourself and ask yourself ‘is this really the right job for me?’
• Thank those you interview with for their time and the opportunity to meet them.

A job search is very stressful. Take good care of yourself while you’re looking for your next job. Find ways to relax that will help keep you positive, focused and confident.
