--(Business Wire)-- ExpertSource:
TOPIC: As most companies post job openings online, it is important that job seekers be more tech-savvy in getting the attention of a potential employer, according to an article by Gannett News Service. While most employers prefer job applicants create a profile and apply online, experts in career coaching and recruiting say certain fundamentals still apply. For example, it is still crucial to spend time preparing a well-written resume and cover letter that focuses on the job description. Other experts suggest marketing yourself by creating a multimedia portfolio online that contains examples of career successes, as well as goals and ideas specific to your industry and expertise.
