"Lights-Camera-You're Hired!" Think 'Summer-Blockbuster' When Looking For A New Job.

The techniques used to promote films are good blueprints for any job seeker!

New York, NY June 4, 2007 - - We have all seen and heard the hype that surrounds the release of a major motion picture. It seems like we would be doing ourselves a tremendous disservice if we didn't rush to the box office immediately. "That is just the type of excitement you want to create for yourself when looking for a new job," notes Robert Graber, founder of WallStJobs.com. "The more energy and immediacy you can create about yourself, the better."

Graber suggests that you use some of the proven "hooks" that Hollywood uses to increase your chances of getting noticed in the job market. "Use kinetic terminology whenever possible," he said, "and include a professional review if you have one."

Graber noted that a cover letter that has a complimentary statement from a former employer can be very powerful. "It is human nature to put great stock in a third-party opinion. It's the equivalent of a thumbs-up from a movie critic."

Mr. Graber also suggests judicious use of action-oriented words to describe projects you have worked on such as, "spear-headed" or "innovated" or "conceptualized" which can go a lot farther than "led" or "implemented" or "thought of" when you are trying to motivate a reader.

"Of course, the key is not to go overboard," cautions Graber. "No hiring professional is going to respond favorably to a string of unrelated superlatives no matter how 'boffo' you think you are."
