Advice for job hunting in the new year For job seekers, the final days of 2012 can serve as a good time to reflect on which aspects of their job search are working, and which ones need an overhaul. Maybe they need to revise their resume, or perhaps they should take a career test. No matter what steps they take toward becoming employed in the new year, they should take into consideration all the career advice that is available to them.

BusinessNewsDaily recently rounded up pieces of job search advice from several experts that anybody looking for employment opportunities may be able to use. For example, soon-to-be college graduates might want to heed the advice provided by Alexandra Levit, the Career Advisory Board's business and workplace consultant, which was to take advantage of on-campus career resources.

Meanwhile, career coach Ford R. Myers told the news source it is important for people looking for work to draw on past experiences, even if they were not paid for them. This means highlighting volunteer work, projects or hobbies on a resume if they think this information could help.

If job seekers sit down to update their resume and think it needs a lot of work, they may want to take Forbes' advice and hire a professional resume writer. Taking this step might just get them noticed.
