HR experts offered these additional tidbits of advice:

* Ensure a professional-looking online presence by establishing a LinkedIn account (with recommendations) and an appropriate email address. Resumes that originate from Imonehotchick@aol.com or Bob+Mary+5wildkids@mindspring.com might not be taken seriously.

* Seed your resume with action verbs: Manage, supervise, faciliate and the like. Large companies, especially, rely upon electronic resume readers that mine submissions for action-oriented verbs.

* Leverage your relationships! While Monster and other career sites have made job seeking somewhat more anonymous, many people still find their next jobs because of who they know. Don’t be afraid to ask the people YOU know to look out for you or put in a good word for you at their places of employment.
