CENTREVILLE, Va., Jan. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're tired of
shoveling snow from the blizzard of 2016, dig out and dust off your
resume instead. Widespread closings and cancellations have created
a great opportunity for DC-area residents to focus their efforts on
finding a new job. The HR team at Carfax has a few suggestions to
help get you started:
- First, make sure your resume is up-to-date and relevant to the
position(s) to which you're applying. Highlight key accomplishments
and personal contributions that help you stand out.
- Go online to the various job listing sites for the latest
openings. Sites like Glassdoor.com also have reviews and comments
so you can see what employees from those companies think about
where they work.
- Start your next job at a Great Place to Work! Publications like
The Washingtonian, The Washington Post, and
Virginia Business put out lists of the Best Places to Work
to help you find the right work environment.
"Now is a great time to start your job search and Carfax is
always looking for great people," said Adrienne Webster, VP of human resources at
Carfax. "Like Google, Zillow, The Motley Fool and others, Carfax
has built a reputation as a great place to work. Plus, we have one
of the most-liked CEOs and are hiring tons of new people this year.
So put down your shovel, pick up your resume and come join Team
Carfax."
Carfax recently announced an expansion of its headquarters in
Fairfax County and is hiring for
120 new positions this year. For more information on job openings
