[CAUT] Getting an Interview

[Don Mannino]

John,
 
Hard to know without knowing more, but my first though is to have a
professional service write a resume for you.  You can then use it as a
template for future applications.  That first impression means so much,
especially at a university where people are so aware of the quality of
writing and presenting information.
 
Other thoughts - 
- Are you demanding too much in your applications? Salary requirements,
weekend work terms, or things like that might be turning them away.
- Are you following up with a phone call?
 
These are just general thoughts that might be leading to your
applications not being noticed.

Subject: [CAUT] Getting an Interview


Here's a question folks,
 
I've been working on pianos for about 20 years, been an RPT for about
15. I've had a part time college contract here in Danville KY for the
last 10 years, including piano prep for a very prestigious concert
series. Murray PIraiha, Andre Michal Schub, Cedar Walton, and Menachem
Pressler have all been here and were all pretty happy with the D. In
fact everybody here is happy with the work I do.
 
Now, for the last 2 years I've applied for full time university jobs
here and there but I have yet to get an interview.
 
Any suggestions on getting one?
 
John Pope
