Searching for a new job is much different now than it was just a few years ago. Applicants must make themselves stand apart from other applicants without making themselves look odd or aggressive.

To do this effectively, many job seekers need to change some of their “old school” job seeking habits and approach job seeking in a new manner.

By changing some of your methods, you may find that landing the perfect new job has become quite simple.

FOLLOW APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
![Page 7: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Many employers have devised specific routines for accepting applications. They most likely want the applications sent online with your resume attached.
![Page 8: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
They may also give specific information about how to check the status of your application.
![Page 9: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Many people believe that this is done to make interviewing less personal.
![Page 10: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
However, many companies are doing it this way to see if you can follow simple instructions.
![Page 11: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Follow all the instructions on their application and their follow up instructions.
![Page 12: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
If the company wants you to check the status online, do not call their HR department. It is a sure way to be overlooked.

UPDATE YOUR RESUME TO CURRENT STANDARDS
![Page 14: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
You need to update your resume so that they are easy to scan and have what the HR rep is looking for in an easy to find manner.
![Page 15: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
For example, eliminate the Objective at the beginning of your resume, everyone knows you are looking for a career position, and change it to Summary.
![Page 16: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Make your summary a quick overview of your talents and experience so the HR rep knows who you are and what you offer right from the start.
![Page 17: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other changes to your resume can include eliminating the References Upon Request Section.
![Page 18: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Again, if the potential employer wants references, you are going to provide them if you want the job.
![Page 19: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stating this fact just wastes space and makes your resume look crowded.

CLEAN UP YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA

If you want to increase your chances of being considered for a job, make sure that your social media accounts are not filled with things that may be offensive to your potential new employer.
![Page 22: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Over 70 percent of businesses now complete social media searches on potential candidates before deciding whether or not to bring them in for an interview.

This also applies to personal blogs as well as all forms of social media.

If you are looking for a job, you cannot simply rely on the classified ads in your local newspaper or one job site on the Internet.
![Page 26: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
You need to broaden your job search to include online classified ads, state employment agencies, social media postings, and multiple online job search sites.
![Page 27: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
There are many employers out there and they are not limited to posting to just one place as they were in the past.
![Page 28: Avoid these outdated job hunting strategies](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Broaden your search so that you have more jobs to choose from during your search.
