Get Noticed and Get a Job in 30 Minutes or Less

With 14.8 million people unemployed in the United States, many people wonder the same things after emailing their resumes into that great Internet void: Does any human ever look at my resume? Will I get a response? How can I get noticed?

Lisa Johnson Mandell, author of Career Comeback: Repackage Yourself to Get the Job You Want has wondered the same things. She eventually decided to knock off the mass emailings and take a more targeted approach, tweaking every resume to the specific job she was applying for before sending it out. It worked!

She was stunned when she started receiving phone calls from employers within minutes of hitting the send button.
