Add your photo

You interviewed and they loved you. But how do they remember you when looking at your résumé later? Print your photo on your résumé. It's unconventional so don't use it if your research indicates the company is traditional. But consider it elsewhere as one way to stand out from the crowd.

It's who you know more than ever. You need to meet people (online and in person) and build value for them. So when you're ready to apply, there's someone on the inside to vouch for you.

Persistence and follow up is a must today. You can't rely on the employer to make the next move after you apply. Let them know you're interested and excited!

Consider joining or starting a job club for encouragement and help.
