Justin’s 5 Favorite Comments of the Week Posted: 29 Oct 2011 08:00 AM PDT Since I didn’t get a chance to post last week, we’re going to have more than the promised 5 posts this week to make up for all the great comments that were submitted to us. We’ve been diligently working on getting your questions answered as part of our #AskCB campaign, where we’re posting videos on our YouTube channel with job seeker tips. 1. Our first post was actually a question posted to us via Twitter and we answered through our new video series. We always love getting questions from job seekers that drill down into more specific topics and we’ll eventually putting together mini-series within our videos built around all the questions you submit. 2. Another tweet from Melissa about taking our advice from one of our articles here on TheWorkBuzz about addressing her cover letter to a specific person in HR, instead of pulling the standard, “Dear Sir or Madame” or “To Whom It May Concern.” Hopefully it helped her stand out from the others and put her ahead in her job search. 3. This is always a bit of good news to see and share with others who sometimes feel like they get stuck in résumé black hole. Congrats to Nikki and we can’t stress the importance of keywords in your résumé and cover letter. 4. Another round of congratulations for Patricia, who just got hired on to a part-time job that she found through CareerBuilder. We’re happy that all of the advice we have on our site and on this blog is helpful to job seekers at every step of their career search. 5. Shout out to Alfred and the CHC Career Development team for for telling all of their followers about us. We actually saw a lot of tweets like this in the past week and we can’t thank all of our fans enough and I’ll let you know that we have an initiative for job seekers coming in the near future that I’m really excited about. Bonus fans: We’ve been chatting with Maitreyee about her career prospects and wish her the best of luck on her post-collegiate job search! Should out to Jerry, too, on getting to the third round of interviews! We gave him advice and reminded him that if he’s making it to round three, they are interested and to just stay calm, be confident and to keep the faith. This made me laugh – Alan responded to our post about exercises at the office. I imagine that as much as IT doesn’t want you to be doing headstands around your desk, HR probably has the same feelings. So as we recommended, maybe just go for an extra walk or do some squats throughout the day to keep your metabolism up. If you want to join in on the fun and possibly be featured in this post, be sure to follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook page. Remember, you can submit questions for #AskCB at any point and keep checking that YouTube channel for more updates. Since this is Halloween weekend, I’m going to leave you with some holiday-themed music from Dave Matthews.
