Every day I receive emails and telephone calls regarding court reporting positions with my firm in New York City as well as throughout the United States. I am always amazed by the time and effort court reporters, both court reporting students and highly trained professionals, put into their resumes and internet searches.
However, most of these applicants have not taken the time nor shown any interest in learning more about our court reporting firm, Toby Feldman Inc., and the services we offer.
The job applicants who have always made the biggest impression on me have knowledge about our court reporting agency and have done a little research. They also express a sincere desire to get the position based on the research they have done. For example, I really want this opportunity to work with your firm because of ____. You fill in the blank.
My advice for all job applicants in this exceedingly difficult market is to make an impression on your interviewer with knowledge about the company you are interviewing with. It goes a long way in opening up doors.
