I ran into a project manager for CH2M HILL at the airport. He let me know that this June they plan on hiring up to 200 workers. CH2M HILL has a variety of short-term projects (3-4 months) to complete as well as some longer-term contracts to get underway.

We talked about the hiring process and I asked him which craft is the toughest to fill. His answer? Electricians.

Here are some tips he passed along that will help everybody (not just electricians) get hired:

1. Don't overqualify yourself. If you want to get hired as an electrician then tell me about your skills & accomplishments on similar type jobs. Don't tell me how you ran your own business, what a great project manager you are or that you have a PhD in Electrical Engineering. This makes me think you won't be satisfied working only as an electrician. I won't want to take a chance on hiring you and then having you quit soon afterwards.

2. Tailor your resume for the job. Use the same job title in your resume. Those skills listed as requirements in the job ad? Demonstrate that you have those same skills. Describe how you have used those skills before. How was that job similar to the one you are applying for now?

3. Use the same wording. Human Resources, not the onsite managers, screen almost all applications. It is important to use the same job title, same skill descriptions, same lingo that was used in the job posting, in your resume. HR screeners are not specialists in a particular craft. So, if you use terms common to your craft that are not the same as the ones used in the job description, then there's a very good chance HR won't recognize your skills. Your application won't go any further than the InBox.

The 3 tips above apply to any and all jobs. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to modify EVERY resume/application to fit a particular job. It doesn't have to take long to do this – address the required skills, tweak words here & there and match the terms used.

OK, on to the job listings…
