Shannon Ogden co-anchors Denver7’s weeknight newscasts at 5, 6 and 10 o’clock.
Katherine Keegan, director of the Office of the Future of Work with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment , helps Coloradans find jobs and has many helpful tips for resumes and job interviews."One of the big things we hear from employers all the time is people, they use technology but don't have soft skills or communication skills anymore. So, any way you can highlight those examples will make you stand out," said Keegan.
In preparing for the interview, Keegan advises candidates to learn the competencies outlined in the job description and come prepared with examples of times they have successfully used those. That goes hand-in-hand with this insider tip — a new way to organize your resume."Focusing on the core competencies of the job you're applying for. competencies the header and your examples from your previous roles the text below. That is kind of a new way," said Keegan.
Keegan's final two pieces of advice for the interview are to listen and try to connect with the interviewer. Don't just wait your turn to talk. "Taking a second before you answer. You don't have to immediately have an answer. You can ask for it to be repeated. You can take a moment to think. You can even say,"Let me take a moment to process that and come up with my answer." So, you can buy yourself some time," said Keegan.
Keegan adds that the forecast is rosy for new grads looking for work in Colorado. She said there are more available jobs than candidates. The Follow Up What do you want Denver7 to follow up on? Is there a story, topic or issue you want us to revisit? Let us know with the contact form below.
