Keywords, Queries Are Crucial In Job Searches

Gas prices are soaring and commuting is becoming more expensive. We want to help. Count on Cascade Patch columnist Julie Paulk to provide you with local job leads.

Resume tip of the week: "Pay attention to keywords. Whether you're writing your first resume, updating an existing one, or answering a position's knowledges, skills, and abilities, think about which keywords you need to add. You could be the most qualified person for the position, but you could be lost in a sea of applicants without the right keywords," according to usajobs.com.

Job hunt tip of the week: "Run queries. You run searches on everything else, from your high school sweetheart to low-fat recipes, so why not jobs?  Enter a query that describes the exact kind of job you're seeking and you may find more resources you wouldn't find otherwise (but be prepared to do some sorting)," according to careerbuilder.com.

Here are a few jobs to choose from this week, including work from home and hourly positions:
