Everyone and their mother is looking to pad their pockets with extra cash for the holiday season so I wanted to dive even deeper this week on some do's and don'ts you might not have even thought of when applying for jobs.

1) Do get yourself a LinkedIn account. This is a professional, free site, that allows you to invite current co-workers or professionals into your network, jobs are posted, and by creating connections you could expand your job possibilities through insider tips and guidance. You'll receive e-mails with new jobs having to do with the description you provided and it's a great start for any professional wanting to up the number of available positions and get themselves noticed.

2) Don't think that your social media isn't being looked at. Potential employers will likely check to see what your social media presence looks like. Depending on the type of job it might not matter but if this weekend you posted a picture of you and your gun, smoking weed, or talking about getting blackout drunk, they might think twice before calling you back. Your social media is yours but once you have a job, some of the content you post might not be acceptable for their brand.

3) Do cast a wider net than you're used to. Sometimes going after the same exact job could be limiting your talents. Think about what makes you super happy and engaged. The positions are out there, could today be the start to an entirely new career path? Just by getting your foot in the door at a company, you could work your way through the receptions desk, sales, and who knows what, if you have the drive and make it known you want to grow within the company you could potentially get paid to go to school to achieve the extra requirements you need to continue to grow. It never hurts to do your own research and make it known right off the bat your desires for your career.

4) Resumes should pop so keep it to one page and also use words like; developed, enforced, coordinated, assigned, processed, incorporated, decided, directed. The very top should be a few sentences speaking directly about the job you are searching for and why you would rock at it.

Alright! Now let's find a job!
