During this times of crisis, where employers are laying off the workforce more than it did during the September 11 attacks on World Trade, it is important to be able to read unspoken body language of colleagues, most especially your boss to be able to decipher if you will be included in the trim down of employees. This way you can prepare for the future and be ready and be confident. It is most especially easy to detect your fate as an employee if you are in good standing within the company. The tell tale signs of promotions, invitations to important meetings and undivided attention from your immediate superior usually is a good indicator. but when youre on the unfortunate list of about to be unemployed, the signs are more subtle. You need to stay alert! Managers often pass off non verbal cues if they have bad news.

The cover letter is a form of self-introduction, and sending a plain resume is like a figurative slap in the face. A well worded and well thought-out cover letter can give you plus points with the HR personnel assessing your application. Be sure that your letter is straight to the point. You should �sound� confident and make clear your strong drive and motivation. Add here your references to prove your credibility. Most importantly, don�t forget to let the best of your personality shine through.

Attending a career fair doesn’t mean just physically being there and going through the booths. You also need to prepare so that your time won’t be wasted:

Review the list of the employers before hand and mark down which potential companies interest you. You may even want to do a little background research and jot down a few questions you may want to ask them in the job fair itself.

Prepare copies of your resume or CV. Have your portfolio organized and ready.

Have a pen and paper handy for all the information you’ll be getting.

Dress properly.

When meeting the company representatives in the booths, be aware that you are not the only person these people will be talking to so be straight to the point and do not monopolize their time.

Do not forget to ask for employers’ business cards for follow-up discussions and correspondence.
