5. Screening Questions are VERY important.
6. Interviews use structured questions to ensure fairness.
7. Hiring takes MUCH longer.
8. Sometimes persistence wins.

5 Things You Can Do on Bit.ly/NCDOTJobs
1. Search for jobs
2. Create Job Alerts
3. Build Your Profile
4. Apply to Jobs
5. See Your Application History
Closing Dates Matter
• You must apply by
date/time
• Jobs will no longer
closing date, even for
submittals
Remember this person
and their phone. They
are the HR Coordinator
for the position to
which you are
applying.
Include keywords and phrases in your
application.
Provide technical assistance =
“provided technical assistance”
not “delivered computer support”
Participate…in…quality control
methods = “participated in improving
quality control methods by
conducting customer surveys
resulting in increased customer
success.”
Highlight All Keywords
How Do Employers Find the REAL YOU?

6 Resume Tips for the 21st Century
1. It is a tool to build a bridge to your future
– Always use it to connect to what the employer needs.
2. Create a master resume with all your experience and credentials,
then then create variations tailored to the specific roles to which you apply
3. Use the exact words and phrases that appear in the job posting.
Expand on these phrases with impact examples.
4. Keep it to 2 pages or less unless you are a senior executive or are applying higher education or
government jobs.
5. If you include a Summary/Objective customize it to strongly align with the job to which you are applying.
6. Allocate resume space proportionately to the career you want, not the experience you have.
6 Tips about NCDOT Questions
1. Use keywords & phrases exactly as they appear in job posting & questions
2. Can the hiring manager see my key credentials in 15 seconds?
3. Do I prominently summarize “why me” at the top of my resume
4. Be Direct: Directly address each question
e.g., if an advanced degree is required don’t bury it at the end of a 4-page resume. If the question asks about
writing ability, immediately detail experience instead of your enjoyment of writing.
5. Think Metrics: Highlight quantitative ways your work has had a measurable impact, how you’ve helped a
company save/make money, improve performance, and matter.
6. Think Efficiency: Highlight how you can save time, make time or manage time, and key ways that you have
improved efficiency.
