Start a Blog- Be an Expert!
Blogging began as a means of expressing personal thoughts, then it
gradually became a publicity tool for celebrities and finally,
it reached the business professionals of the world. Blogging has come a long way from simple web pages to extremely
sorted and read content of the Internet. Comments on blogs and the speed
of passing blog links among users with similar interest show the power
of blogging and its popularity on a wide scale global network. There
are plenty of benefits of blogging for professionals and even the average young adults. Here's another helpful tip from Andrew Grinbaum's book Cha-Ching ;
" If you want to differentiate yourself from the crowd and put something on your resume that can even make you look like an expert, start a blog."(pg 117)
Its as simple as that because remember you want to gain a competitive advantage over all the other applicants and creating a blog will be the 'leg up" against the competition. Your writing skills will also improve while blogging on a consistent basis which is yet another pivotal attribute in today's business world.

Customize Resumes and Cover Letters
Cover letters are your first contact with employers, so getting the
length and content right is important. Most companies agree that you
should include some links to your work, and definitely follow any instructions that they put in the job advertisement! Andrew Grinbaum an accomplished business owner, professor at LIU Brooklyn and published author says from his book Cha-Ching! in regards to cover letters and resumes
" A better solution is to customize your cover letter and - this is key- use buzzwords and phrases written on the job description in your letter. A secret to communicating effectively is to speak the same language to the person you are writing- use the same words and jargon. Use the opening paragraph to introduce yourself and where you found out about the job." (pg 69)
A great tip indeed. Keep in mind that a resume is always about what you can do for the company, not what the company can do for you. So when you create the resume, your first step is to write examples of what you’ve done for previous companies based on what you know the prospective employer wants from the person who wins the job. A great way to get an employer to ask more about what you’ve written in your resume is to deliver a consistent message that tells the story of how you plan to transform the position based on your previous experience. If you deliver this message in your resume, the employer will certainly want to learn more in an interview.
The more you present yourself as an active leader with innovate ideas, the more you’ll pique the interest of an employer. So as you write your resume, make sure the information you provide is so impressive that the interviewer can’t wait to learn more.
