thank you, I usually follow pretty close to this in my job searching and interviewing process. I didn't know about resumasters, that looks like a great resource, thanks!
This has been my experience as well. I guess my initial hang up is some of the companies that I am interested in are so huge that my usual strategy of finding a hiring manager on linkedin is much more difficult. Where as when applying to a company of 500 employees, they probably only have a few hr people, vs XYZ fortune 100 company has potentially hundreds.
Thanks! I thought about this as well. One thing I would ask, how common is a company paying for travel/accomodations for an interview? I am capable financially of making trips for interviews, but I almost feel like I need a commitment from a company to show that they consider me a serious potential hire for me to spend my own money for just an interview.
sorry for the lack of clarity , plan on moving to nyc, but I do not currently live there. The main reason I bring it up is I have heard HR/companies will potentially ignore people with non local addresses, as well as there are clear logistical issues associated to not being less then an hour away from an interview.
