This has to be compelling enough for the reader to pass it up the line. Focus on your core skills (esp on how solve problems & work in a network environment) rather than the tools. Also, follow up after every interview with a thank you card. The personal touch makes a huge difference! Ivan Hi David,

Also, follow up after every interview with a thank you card.

The personal touch makes a huge difference!

I was just on the verge of loosing my patience as well as my hope of finding one. Your article certainly did give a boost to my confidence. Thanks very much!

Lady luck is a fickle mistress, yet she is a key player in any job search. Doing everything outwardly possible - and being an excellent candidate - still might not get you the job, but keep a positive outlook, because negativity will certainly hamper your chances. Well said, David. And good luck to all of us out there and looking! As someone who is currently on the job market, I second all of your advice, David.
