Tools (optional)
 
  Do you need help?
This final step is about the marketing tools and strategies to help employers notice
you.  Remember to do your follow-ups and networking identified in Step #3 (your 
action plan) as a good job search requires good tools and planning.

                                          Why is this important?

Your cover letter and resumé are often your first (and sometimes only) chance to
make a good impression on a potential employer. If your documents are well 
structured, well written and showcase  your strong skills sets effectively, the employer
may want to contact you for an interview.

Tips:

1. Download the free tools provided on this page and www.nbjobs.ca. They can help you with your job search.

2. You can use resumé templates. Try to do your own rather than ask someone else to do it. Why? Because taking
     the time to think about, write and edit it so that it looks professional help you to rehearse the information and be
     prepared for your interview.

3. Create a generic cover letter and resumé and keep a digital copy so you can customize it quickly and easily for
     different employers.

4.  If you are having difficulty with your job search, contact one of  the regional offices of the Department of Post-
     Secondary Education Training and Labour . Ask to meet with an employment counsellor:
