So make a great first impression!

Job terminations happen - but how do you explain that in an interview?
If you’ve been fired or let go in the past, use these helpful hints to overcome it during your job search:
Don’t put that you were terminated on your resume - that hurts your odds of getting an interview
Do be prepared to talk about it during the interview
Don’t bash your ex-employer. Instead, make it seem like a friendly parting of ways
Do move on from the subject!

Want a kick-butt resume? Then start volunteering in your community!
Volunteering shows employers you’re a team player. It also shows that you’re always focused on improving yourself and learning new skills.
Bonus: a volunteering gig can quickly turn into a full-time job!
Update your profile with your volunteering experience and make your resume stand out!
You’ve probably stared at your resume a million times, right?
That’s why today’s challenge is to ask someone on Jobcase to review it for you. Having a pair of fresh eyes can help catch any mistakes and suggest improvements.
Their help could be the key in getting more attention from employers.
Just update your profile and let the community know when it’s ready for review!
Sick of not hearing back from employers about your application?
Here’s what you should do: Try calling employers a few days after you’ve applied. You can search the company name and location on Google for the phone number.
When you call, ask if you can speak to someone in charge of hiring for the job position you applied for. It’s as easy as that!
Note: Don’t call if an employer asks you not to (it’ll be on your job application).
Try this tip out and share what happens with the community!
There’s only one YOU in the whole world - but does your resume reflect why you’re special?
For your Day 9 challenge, ask a few family members, friends, and coworkers why you’d make a great employee. It’s super easy to do - just request a praise from them right on Jobcase: https://www.jobcase.com/praise_invitations
What makes you stand out to employers? Share with us here or post to our community!
Got the degree and training - but no job offers?
Consider getting back in touch with your school to see if they have any special relationships with employers. A lot of companies might prefer hiring graduates from your school!
Still need advice? Ask for help or create a post on our community!
Your friends can help connect you to new job opportunities. All you have to do is ask!
For today’s challenge, ask your friends if they know who’s hiring. You could also ask if they know of any job opportunities that could open up soon.
You never know what they might reveal!
Take it a step further: Ask the community if they know who’s hiring near you!
