How A Resume Works To Get You Hired

How A Resume Works To Get You Hired 188 Black and white resumes do it best. This is a guest post by Todd Porter. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. In an age of social media and virtual networking, job hunting is different than it was 50, 40 or even 30 years ago. In the 60’s and 70’s people typically didn’t change jobs every few years. Individuals would land a job with the anticipation that they would work there until they retired. There were no job sites like Monster.com. There was no Internet where information was easily accessible or e-mail where resumes could be easily submitted.eval What hasn’t changed is that the resume is still the number one tool used to land a job. Actually, considering resumes are 500 years old (don’t believe it? Google “Leonardo Da Vinci 1482 resume”) they haven’t changed a lot. Unfortunately, most individuals don’t grasp the intricate parts of this tool and how to use it effectively.

Well, actually most resumes are black and white (more about that later). More importantly, you should understand that resumes are more like ART than SCIENCE. As such, there is typically never a definitive right way to construct a resume. Even with that truth, some things on the resume can be arguably better and there are definitely some things that can be WRONG. This posting will try to dissect and define some of those things, that will improve your probability of landing that next opportunity and give you a leg up on most of the other candidates (read: your competition). To begin, in writing / analyzing your resume I’m going to ask you to take a different view. Most people construct a resume similar to a painter painting a self-portrait. Instead of trying to tell the story about YOU and your career, put yourself in the shoes of the hiring manager. Sit in the virtual chair of the hiring manager or gatekeeper (HR person) who is reviewing your resume. They are looking for what they want and if you don’t paint your career portrait to their liking, they probably won’t be interested. As you go through the writing / analyzing process, keep in mind that you have a minimum amount of time to grasp the reader’s attention / interest. You probably only have 6 to 10 seconds to set the hook. If there is enough information to gain interest, you might get the second level view to see if you are a fit. Objective Statement The Objective Statement part of the resume could be the most misused part of the resume. Individuals feel they must include an Objective to explain what they want to do in their next position and strategically in their career. Most Hiring Managers and HR people don’t care about what you want, unless it’s what they need. Actually, even though the Objective is normally the second physical part of the resume (after contact information) it’s not the first thing people will look at. It is part of that second level view. This is not to say it isn’t important because it’s where you want the reader to say, “Yes, this is the person that would fit what we want”. Job hunting used to be about “who you know”. Somewhere along the way job hunting became, “who knows you”. Today, the person gets the job from the person who “knows what you can do for them”. Even though “Objective” means “something sought” when you write your Objective Statement, take that opportunity to tell them “What you can do for them”. Secondly, use Hard skills as opposed to Soft skills. (true throughout the resume) Soft skills are those things that are fluff and that usually apply to everyone. The biggest fluff in the objective statement might be that you want to work for a great company. Who wants to work for a crummy company? A Soft skill that most people can relate to is typing. 50 years ago, typing might have been a Hard skill for certain jobs but today no one would put typing on their resume as a skill because it should be a given that everyone can type. Last point on the Objective is to keep it short. Someone should see the statement and be able to grasp it quickly. If it take 30 seconds to read it and/or causes the question “what does this person want or can do?” the hiring manager or gatekeeper will put the resume in the reject pile. Career Transition On The Resume This is the meat of the matter. Very quickly, the reader should understand which companies the candidate has worked for, jobs held and duration of positions. This is the section that will rule you out quicker than anything. If the reader says the following, your resume can quickly be trashed: “Didn’t have the right jobs” The wrong jobs in your background might be about applying for the wrong job. Be honest with yourself. There are times when a job title on a resume might not be clear as it relates to the position you are being considered for. Don’t lie about the positions you’ve held but sometimes a position can have more than one title. “Too many jobs, is a job hopper” The small mistake that can be a big rejection is how the dates of employment are represented. If you have several jobs with the same company over 8 years it’s important how you represent the grouping of these jobs. Make sure it’s clear that you’ve worked for the same company over that whole period. This is easily done by putting the total time spent at the company and sub-set the time for each position. The other problem on the timeline is when a company has been acquired. If you have the same job but the company name has changed, make sure you clarify that with a short statement. “Company not recognized” If a company isn’t recognized, the person who is reviewing the resume might reject you because you didn’t work for a pertinent company. This can be true in a field that has a lot of start-ups. What can be very helpful is to add a short line presenting the company before you tell them what you did there. Be careful not to waste the readers time by telling the reader what a recognizable company does. An example might be to not tell the reader who IBM is or what they do. Resume End Sections The end sections are typically EDUCATION and SKILLS. You should know on a resume, what is last can often be first. A person reviewing the resume will normally go to the end of a resume to see where and when you went to school. For technical positions, they are usually going to be looking for relevant skills. Include the dates when you graduated. By not including them it doesn’t hide how old you are, it just makes a person question why you didn’t include them. Never ever, ever, ever lie in this section. Nothing will kill your chances faster than putting a fake college or a skill that you really don’t have. People still try this and are getting caught more often than not. Black and White Resumes Hopefully this has given you a little more insight into tightening up your resume. Keep it simple and to the point. Avoid the fluff and let them know why you can do what they need done. Keep it Black and White. Fancy resumes with a lot of color might be cute but you don’t want to go for cute, you want to get hired!

Are you having a break or a breakdown

Are you having a break or a breakdown So often in my life I have felt like Im failing when Ive actually been taking a break. After college I had various odd jobs and every night I read books. I read a book a night for a while. I used to ignore that part of my story glossing over it and skipping from college graduation to professional beach volleyball. But the late-afternoon reading that slipped into late-night reading was my break. I was exhausted from navigating the social life of school. I was dying to read books I chose myself. Maybe most importantly, I needed time to process my nightmare childhood. Because when you are living a nightmare you cant process. You are just surviving. The next time I took a break was when I got fired from a high-paying writing job. The break wasnt then. It was before then. I was sending my editor articles I had already published and telling him they were new. He found out and I felt terrible. I loved the job and I loved the editor. For years I hated myself for being so dishonest. But I needed a break. I had a child who was failure to thrive, and I had no help from family and I was the sole breadwinner in New York City. It was too much. The pressure was killing me and the only way I knew how to get a break was to lie. I have more resources now. So I took a break from writing and I cashed out my stock in my last company. People said to me, Are you sure you want to do that? The company is very close to exiting. You should hold onto the stock. People told me this was a financially unsound decision. I didnt want to tell them how much I want a break. No one thought it was okay. Every single person told me spending that money was not worth it. But Ive just been through a relocation, a divorce, and a job loss. Of sorts. Its been hard to see.  I didnt believe it was a relocation since I left all my stuff and the kids stuff at the farm.  I didnt believe I was getting a divorce since I wasnt really married. And I didnt believe it was a career change because I knew Id always write my blog. Its very hard to see our own reality until we step back from it and take a break. Like my other breaks, I told myself I was an irresponsible failure. But unlike the last breaks, it didnt take me ten years to see the value in the break. In hindsight, after every major life change I have had to take a break to recalibrate. The life narrative before my generation was that people who worked started working after college and never stopped until they retired usually from the same company where they started at age 65. No one took breaks at life changes because there werent any. Women graduated from college and had kids. Men went to work. I tried to searched to find the history of the idea of taking a break and when it became common in ones career. The third search result is why men need to recharge between orgasms. Of course. But I found most articles about taking a break are about productivity (or lack thereof). And that people think of a break as sitting with the kids watching SpongeBob. A fresh addition to the discussion of breaks is Dave Crenshaws book The Power of Having Fun: How Meaningful Breaks Help You Get More Done. He writes about different types of breaks in terms of daily, monthly, and yearly. I emailed Dave to tell him Id be writing about his book. Its a great fit on my blog, I told him. As if I am a person who writes regularly on a blog. I told him Id write about it and a month later, I had not written anything. He is a guy who understands a break, so he took it in stride. But people who arent reliable are not taking a break. They are doing something else. He didnt say this. But the crux of his book is that we need to plan breaks. So that they are not breakdowns. Planned breaks recharge us. But back to that article about orgasms. Women dont need a break in between orgasms. But they do go through periods of life when they dont want to have sex. Thats a good model for me when I think of taking a break to recharge. My breaks may be long, but I bounce back.  And maybe the great thing about being 50 is that I can see the patterns of being me, and this time I could trust that Id bounce back. Also, I could see that the other times I had taken a break were important and not irresponsible or indulgent, so I took a leap of faith that this one was meaningful as well. I cashed out all that stock so I didnt have to work as hard to support my family during a tumultuous time in my life. When people ask me why I dont have a pile of money after my company exits, I will say I sold too early. People will feel sorry for me. But I dont feel sorry. I feel resilient. Because when you dont plan a break, you dont know when the break will end. And thats scary. I think thats the real difference between a break and a breakdown. Most of the articles I found on taking a break were about love and relationships. Women recover from breakups better than men do because women get really sad after a breakup and men just move on. But going on that emotional rollercoaster is an important step toward moving to the next stage. And men are more likely to never get over the breakup. They never move on. The same is true of life changes. I have found that cant really get through that change without the emotional rollercoaster. Mourning for your past life. Fearing change. Denying that youll have to do something new. The Harvard Business Review tells executives they need to take a break from solving business problems, and The New York Times published a piece  about decision fatigue associated with the duress of everyday life. But I didnt see many people writing about taking a break and looking like you are destroying your life. Even though Im pretty sure that thats what it actually looks like. So Im recommending that. Or at least, Im telling you that Ive done it three times in my life and it has been essential to remaking myself. But remaking yourself is hard. Its not a scheduled, two-week break. Its months or years of being lost and squandering way too much time and energy trying to recover from the disappointment of having to restart. And the people with the most successful careers are able to face emotional terror and likely financial destruction in order to make a change. Which is to say that a vibrant, fulfilling life is one full of planned breaks but also unplanned breakdowns.

Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

Reversing Type 2 Diabetes Reversing type 2 diabetes is possible if you can improve insulin sensitivity. If people that suffer from the disease can get their HbA1c below 6%, without taking medication, they have successfully resolved their diabetes and entered remission. With good health practices, you can improve your all-around health through a very rewarding process. Low Calorie Diets Low calories diets have caused remission in 90% of trial patients who have used radical diet change as opposed to suppressing effects with medication. This is according to a study that links weight loss with reversing type 2 diabetes. Experts believe avoiding long-term weight gain is linked with a reduced incidence, but can you really reverse type 2 diabetes? Diabetes On The Rise Fat accumulation can prevent the pancreas from functioning optimally, which in turn can increase the likelihood of getting type 2 diabetes. Everything points to diet as the main determinant, especially considering type 2 diabetes is soaring in correlation with the obesity epidemic. New initiatives are focusing on addressing the underlying cause of the condition, rather than managing the symptoms. The Dawn Phenomenon Type 2 diabetes is associated with the dawn phenomenon, which causes a hormonal imbalance prior to waking up from sleep. Diabetics continue to experience high fasting glucose levels as the day goes on, but extensive research is being conducted to counteract the effects. There are various methods to prevent high blood sugar levels in the morning, including: Avoiding carbohydrates before bed Adjusting your insulin injections Switching to a different medication Taking insulin before bed rather than after dinner Use an insulin pump to administer extra insulin in the morning Reducing Weight Weight loss reduces fat in the pancreas and liver and allows the body to return to normal functioning. Weight loss has been seen to not just aid the management of type 2 diabetes, but in some cases it reversed it entirely. Research suggests the number of people with type 2 diabetes has quadrupled in 35 years, and projections suggest numbers will rise from 422 million in 2014, to 642 million by 2040. Addressing Your Diet In the early stages of addressing your diet, you don’t have to increase physical activity.   But you will want to include activity over time. Trials presented at the International Diabetes Federation Congress in Abu Dhabi suggested half the participants who lost an average of 22 kg reverted to a non-diabetic state. A high proportion of these people were aged from 20 to 65, and had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within the past six years. The remission group were compared to a control group who didn’t adopt a low-calorie diet. Only 4% of the control group achieved remission. Effectively addressing your diet involves an intake of 825 to 853 calories per day for three to five months. After completing this difficult process, you can slowly introduce more calories from two to eight weeks after. A combination of cognitive therapy and exercise works well in accordance with a low calorie diet. Real Results Even when you have had type 2 diabetes for six years, reversing the effects is feasible. In contrast with other approaches, the low calorie method involves long-term maintenance of weight loss through diet and exercise. Though you might not be cured, your quality of life will definitely improve. The biggest challenge is long-term avoidance of weight gain, which brings many health benefits with it.

Get Really Personal with Your Personal Brand - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Get Really Personal with Your Personal Brand - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career You might not be the offspring of Trump, Branson or Vanderbilt, but you do have a personal brand legacy. Consider your heritage: your parents, community, region, country, culture and ancestry. Pegging to your authentic underpinnings, which is your brand DNA, might be the platform you need right now, as you define the constellation of characteristics that sell you as a personal brand. Of course, it helps if the name, brains and trust fund you inherit get you through Wharton without student loans and onto Trump National golf course with a really good tee time. Just keep in mind: jealousy isn’t a strategy. You probably inherited better hair and a less bellicose manner (or just a better catch phrase than “you’re fired!”) than the Trump brood. Most star power personal brands come laded with such big baggage that legacy brands don’t really have a chance to shine on their own. The results may vary, but Jamie Spears’ fate is lot more common than Miley Cyrus. Anderson Cooper has kept his family’s personal brand legacy pretty much a secret. He’s a Vanderbilt (robber baron and jeans queen) on the one side and the son of Wyatt Cooper (actor and writer) on the other. Anderson is kind of like Sprite. The world’s most popular lemon-lime beverage is the offspring of Coke, but you don’t see Sprite being marketed as a junior brand. However, both Anderson and Sprite appreciate their heritage, and have taken advantage of the lessons learned on their family brands’ climb up the ladder. So, if you are the scion of a milkman and homemaker (me!), you might have to do more digging to find gold. What are you looking for? Great stories, the older the better. For example: how bravely did your family leave everything familiar to immigrate to where you now call home? Or how did they stay and defend the homestead while under siege? Who sacrificed so someone else could go to school? Who had talent like playing a musical instrument but never risked the farm to make it a career? Stories of perseverance, pride, principles, and personalities that inspire you are what you need now. Open up a dialogue with purpose: appreciate the people who weren’t thinking about personal brands, because they had simpler, smaller dreams and maybe more formidable obstacles or opponents. Ask the right questions and have patience when you sort through the meaning in the answers. Consider this your personal brand DNA mapping. 1.      Gather your old family photos and have the “what’s my heritage” talk with your folks. 2.      Listen for the stories of how your forebears overcame adversity, or failed to reach their potential. 3.      Decide if there are any dreams or lessons you’d like to build on. 4.     When it’s appropriate, reference these experiences in your job interviews, client calls and networking. Knowing where you came from is a component of the world’s most attractive quality: genuine self-confidence. Author: Nance Rosen is the author of Speak Up! Succeed.

The Blueprint for Reinventing your Career

The Blueprint for Reinventing your Career The Blueprint for Reinventing your Career The Blueprint for Reinventing your Career March 19, 2009 by Career Coach Sherri Thomas 3 Comments Hi everyone! Here is my latest article,The Blueprint for Reinventing Your Career. I would love to read your feedback. If you have any questions please dont hesitate to leave a comment here or write me at Service@careercoaching360.com.     There are times in everyone’s career that you feel like running away and starting all over again, and I’m here to say that you can do it! I’ve reinvented my career five times including being a disc jockey in radio, public relations director in professional sports, community relations director in television, regional marketing manager in finance, and now I’m a global program manager in high tech. If you’d like to change careers but worried that your salary would decrease, take comfort in knowing that each time I changed careers I received a pay increase! Reinventing your career successfully simply means repackaging your skills, qualifications and accomplishments so that you can transition into a new job role, company, or industry. Here is my own five-step blueprint for reinventing your career more quickly, easily and maybe even with a higher salary! 1. Where’s your passion? The first step is to identify where you want to go. In which industry would you like to work? Advertising? Finance? Health Care? When I wanted to stop being a disc jockey, I knew that I wanted to go into television. And after a successful career in television, I then set my sights on getting into Corporate America. I wasn’t sure what kind of job role I wanted (or could get!), but the first step was determining the industry where I wanted to work. If you’re not sure where you want to go (just that where you are now is definitely the wrong place!) then read trade magazines, industry publications and classified ads in your local newspaper. Visit a bookstore and browse through books and magazines to see what grabs your attention. Allow yourself time to figure out what lights your fire and inspires you! 2. What are your transferable skills? These are skills that transition from industry to industry, or from job role to job role. Examples include: managing projects, teams, clients or budgets, as well as negotiating contracts, or proposing and implementing ideas that generate money, save money, or help the company be more competitive. Other transferable skills include personal characteristics such as demonstrating leadership or risk taking, training or mentoring team members, being goal driven, results oriented, a problem solver, or having the ability to influence senior managers. These are ALL great skills to have, and they transfer from industry to industry. All industries and companies value employees with these types of skills and characteristics. 3. Matching your transferable skills to job roles. Read job descriptions posted on CareerJournal.com, CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com, as well as the classified ads in industry magazines, trade journals, and local newspapers. If you want to work for a specific company then check out their website’s on-line job postings. Learn the skills and qualifications required for various job roles. Match your transferable skills to those jobs you want to go after. If there’s a gap between the required skills and the skills that you currently have, then look for ways to gain that experience such as taking on an extended assignment in your current job, freelancing, consulting, or even volunteering. Also, attend industry conferences, trade shows, business networking events and association meetings. Talk to people who work in the industry to learn about their career path, responsibilities, and advice for how to break into the business. 4. Blow up your resume. The first thing I always did before I transitioned into a new career was blow up my resume. Trying to piece together a resume that highlighted the skills I used to get my last job with the skills I need to land my next job is like trying to weld together Lexus parts on a BMW. It doesn’t work. You need a brand new resume. Showcase only those jobs, responsibilities and successes that relate to the job you want. The hiring manager doesn’t care about every job you’ve ever had. They just want to know, Can you do their job? You should also get a professional resume critique to help power up your resume and stand above your competition. 5. Attitude is the key ingredient! I’ve found that getting a new job really boils down to two things: confidence and passion. I’ve never walked into an interview having met all of the job requirements. In fact, for the television interview, I lacked the two biggest requirements which were a minimum of two years experience in television, and a tape to show proof of my TV work (I didn’t have any TV work!) To compensate, I focused on my transferable skills which were being highly creative and a solid copywriter. That got my foot in the door for the interview. But to get the job offer and beat out the other 100 job candidates, I was passionate about the company and the job! I also told the hiring manager that I absolutely knew that I could do the job! There’s a kind of quiet confidence that we all have down deep inside. A confidence that comes from knowing what we’re capable of doing. When you transition into a new job role or a new company, you need to show the hiring manager that you have confidence in yourself and know that you’ll be successful in the job. When it comes to reinventing your career, it’s not just your talent but your attitude that counts!

Resume Writing When Applying For Marketing Jobs

Resume Writing When Applying For Marketing JobsWith the job market looks like it's heading for a crash it might be time to think about what you can do about your resume writing when applying for marketing jobs. When I was working in a law firm, I often had resumes come in from marketing professionals that were extremely sloppy, listing irrelevant qualifications, and while they did generate some leads there were many more that never resulted in interviews or calls back to the law firm.In my experience my clients were doing things right when applying for jobs with this law firm and they had a very professional resume. They made sure their resumes were well formatted, had proper spacing and grammar, and had all the necessary key elements such as skills, education, experience, education, etc. It seemed that even the resume writing business was not as 'clean' as many in the industry thought.Since so many folks were writing professional resumes for law firms and jobs, it looked like we wer e losing them and their resumes were being sent to the trash can. Why did they get 'lost' in the maze of resumes, emails, and informational emails that come from clients? Well, it appeared that too many in the law firm were making poor evaluations and assumptions based on the resumes they were reviewing, as they only saw the basics. After all, they were hired for their ability to solve a problem and that was all they saw.So the next step was to go back through all the resumes and determine which ones needed to be modified. Of course, you wouldn't want to just send your best resume to every single job opening you saw.Instead you would send one to each person and allow them an opportunity to improve their resume, which gave them the chance to show that they really were up to the task, or in fact had more experience, skills, etc. than your resume gave them credit for. I know that some jobs can be overwhelming and this kind of personalizing service was certainly not required.But, what i f you have the perfect job with the perfect salary? Well, it's quite possible that you didn't ask for the job in the first place and it doesn't matter what position you are applying for, it just takes the right timing and someone who want to work for you. The ideal is to find someone who wants the same thing that you want but that doesn't work at your current company.We have many people who are asking for a job in my department because they need someone who is strong in the legal market. They are looking for someone with great communication skills, so that they can connect with their client through emails and their emails will look great. They are looking for someone who can create a winning email marketing campaign that will bring in leads and make them seem like they have a good chance of getting the job done. I have even heard of people who are looking for a marketing rep in our organization, so that they can get better results from their marketing campaigns.Now if you're going t o apply for marketing jobs, you should at least be up to speed with the requirements. So if you don't think you can get better results, then think again, as you may be missing the boat. Please consider all this and consider all the hiring that goes on in your industry as you start out as a marketing professional!
