Dont jump to quickly to say yes. Find out exactly what your new responsibilities are. Are willing to take them on, is the few extra dollars worth the time and stress? If you are truly a good worker there will always be oppourtunities for you. Take the right one for you. Promotions can sometimes be a double edged sword. Is this a company you wanna stay with for a while. The expierence may be very valuable to your resume allowing to get you a better job later down the line, but you wont have the time or energy to persue other endevors you may be interested in. Dont be afraid of sucess, but dont under value yourself and jump to take a pormotion if its not worthed. Weigh your options.\nGood luck

I have always written my own resumes and have fared well in the past.  Recently, I had my resume written by a professional ($284), posted my new, professionally written resume on Monster.com, Dice.com, and Careerbuilder.com and the calls won't stop coming in.  I am getting up to 15 calls a day from recruiters and hiring managers.  To make a long story short, I wish I had gotten my resume professionally written a long time ago...But I am in a totally different job market than you.  It is pretty hard to say whether or not you would need the service.  My advice is that if you don't do it now, do it at least once or twice in your career to see if there are any benefits to doing so.

Yes you should, first make yourself marketable, make a professional resume, post it and get some interviews going, then approach your boss or the decision maker and without being rude simply put the facts on the table, \n1. I am multifunctional and I feel I am an assett to this company.\n2. It has been brought to my attention I am over tasked and under payed.\n3. I feel I deserve an increase not only equivalent to the new hires, but slighty more for my senior status here.\n4. I am on the job market and I have XYZ offers, I am sorry to do this but I need to know where I stand with this company.\n\nthen shut up and make them answer you, you have power of negociation here, USE IT! good luck

Pay a professional resume/cover letter writing company to do it.\n\nMake sure you know ever word of what it says before you go to your interview though.

If you are lacking in other experience, it can be beneficial.\n\nIt is especially beneficial that you have such high positive feedback and have made over 400 transactions.\n\nBy the way- make sure when you do create your resume that you keep it at one page.  Some employers may accept up to two pages, but unless you have some amazing credentials that NEED to be on there, it is advised that you stick to one.\n\nI hope this is helpful and good luck on your job search!

Most of the "firms" that charge job applicants are scams.\n\nThere are very few industries where the applicant pays for the job search, and you should never pay to have your application submitted to just one company, or industry.  If the recruitement firm was legitimate, the company would pay them to find a new hire.\n\nHave they given you an itemized list of what your money is paying for?  Or just vague promises like "we will get your resume into the hands of hundreds of hiring managers".  Because you can already do that for free at Monster.\n\nGood luck

Yes, call up companies that you are interested in working for and this will likely produce better results than sending out hundreds of resumes.  There might be some listings on Monster.com and the others, but most of those are for full-time positions.  There are a few internships.\n\nIf you're still in school, your school may have some listings available, although it's getting a bit late for this summer.\n\nIf you don't need the money, you might offer to work the intership for free.  Since it's basically no risk for them, it might be a bit easier to get one.  Then, later on, you'll have some work experience, which helps to secure a better job in the future.

You should keep it on there to show that you were holding a job.  It's not your fauilt if they didn't give you much to do, you can list all of your basic duties and any extra projects that you worked on... arrange your wording to make it seem a little more important than it was.   A lot of times, potential employers are looking to see if you are able to hold a job.

First thing is always the first impression, Chances are their first inmpression of you will be your resume/application.  Make sure you have a proffesional resume ready.  If you don't have one or you think you may want a better one it may be worth the 80 bucks to pay someone to make it for you.  They study these things and are pretty good at it.  If  you do it yourself just make sure you use a spell checker, that it is neet and orderly, that it can be read, and that it contains all the information  they will need inorder to make a desision.  dont be afaid to talk yourself up a little too.  let them know that you recognize your value.  dont be cocky just confident.  if you are going in for a personal interview the first impression of what your hiring manager will be is what they see.  That means dress nice, be well groomed, do your hair, nails, and smell good.  Your apperance will have alot to do with what they think of you.  If you start off with a phone Interview you need to develop good speaking skills, sound determined, confident, and be always positive.  Be ready to answer the question, "what do you think is your best quality" if you answer "i don't know" chances are they wont know either and you wont get hired.  You shouldnt sound cocky just calm and detemined, don't let anyone push you around but let them know that you are willing to do what ever it takes.  After the interview if you havent heard back from them give them a call to let them know that you are still interested in the job.  this will show your initiative, employers like that.  Don't call them up every day and badger them for the job just let them know that you are interested and still there.    and finally when you get hired prove to them that everything you showed them in the interviewing process was true.  Most of the time it isn't to hard to find someone new if they don't like you.  don't be a brown noser but just work hard and be relaiable.  Good luck and have fun, remember that the more lines you put in the water the better chance you have of getting an interview so apply for mulitple jobs.  that will keep your options open too and let you see what you really want to do.

Definitely include a letter, even if it's just to say who you are and why you want to participate. Also update your CV and make sure it notes everything that is relevant to the job (or program, education).

It would be a good idea to read the application and follow the directions they give you. They will TELL you what question they want you to answer in your paragraph. I suggest you mention things that are not covered elsewhere in the application.

Yes, but it is best if accompanied by a resume as well.

I would include it. It might make the difference in getting the interview to begin with. And you should bring one to the interview as well. Even though they have the copy you submitted with that application, it shows organization and a desire to get the position.

DO NOT DO IT!  They are going to ask you for like $300 up front, I have never heard of anyone who has made that back.  My rule of thumb is you should never be paying to work for someone.

How about actually doing some WORK.\n\nThat is what you are getting paid for, right??

Pretty much.  As long as he is collecting a pay check he should do as requested as long as it is within the bounds of his job description.  And it is not an unreasonable request to ask him to document his work.   \n\nHe may not have much to lose in terms of this job since it's already lost, but if he wants to leave under reasonably good terms and get a good reference to help get his next job, he should try to be acommodating.
