Press Release Body = Today\'s job market can be fiercely competitive but the real
problem is not finding the perfect job. The difficultly is in getting noticed and
ultimately employed amid an endless sea of highly qualified job candidates.

Hiring managers often have hundreds of resumes to sort through and due to the
increased use of the Internet into the job search equation the flood of applications
for post positions can reach the thousands. Job seekers need something more than
fine education, superior skills, and good credentials. In order to gain the
attention of hiring managers job seekers need an extra edge.

According to the job search and employment experts at SearchforJobs.co.UK
(http://www.searchforjobs.co.uk), it is the small things or the details that can
really make the difference between getting called for an interview and hired or lost
in the stack. It is the details that are often neglected by the majority of job
applicants that can really set an applicant apart from the rest.

The following are some tips for increasing your chances of getting an interview from
Internet job postings and landing that dream job. According to Jason West, manager
of http://www.searchforjobs.co.uk , "These are the crucial details that so many job
applicants miss."

Follow Instructions

Most companies post specific instructions in job postings for how to submit online
resumes and applications. These instructions often specify how resumes should be
formatted and what types of files are acceptable. Ignoring these details can send
improperly formatted CVs to the recycle bin without regard to the experience of
qualifications of the applicant.

Personalized Cover Letters

Many job seekers use the same cover letter for every job application submitted.
These generic cover letters are obvious to experienced hiring managers. Job
applicants can significantly increase their chances of getting their qualifications
considered by tailoring cover letters to the specific job description. Prior to an
interview, the cover letter is the applicant\'s only opportunity to really explain
how his or her experience and qualifications match the requirements of the job.

After the Interview

If there is one thing job applicants can do to seal the deal after an interview it
is to send a Thank You note. Job search experts always recommend thank you notes
but so few applicants actually do it. An effective thank you note can be as simple
as a short letter thanking the interviewer for the interview and highlighting some
key points of the discussion. The key is to do this promptly while the meeting is
still fresh in the interviewer\'s mind.

While these tips may seem like minor details they really are what separate the
outstanding job candidates from the average. For more information and job seeking
