Resume Writing Tips to Start the New Year SuccessfullyResume Writing Tips to Start the New Year SuccessfullyResume Writing Tips to Start the New Year SuccessfullyCurtesy of Wil Stewart from unsplash.comNew Years just around the corner and this is usually the time when we bring a bunch of New Years resolutions. We decide to ditch unhealthy foods, go to gym, do things we havent done in past year, and we also decide this is the year when were finally going to make a step forward in our career. Obviously, ditching unhealthy foods and going to the gym dont stand a chance. Somehow, we cant say goodbye to delicious pizza and whos got enough time for gym anyway? In the end, we only have one resolution left and thats career progress. In all honesty, thats even mora achievable than going to the gym on daily basis.Quality resume stands between you and desired jobTo finally do something about your career and find a better (or any) job, its important to have a high-quality resume. I like to compa re it to password-protected door. Poor resume results with Access Denied message on the tiny screen, while good resume opens the door and leads you to your next destination your job.What fruchtwein people overlook is the fact that resume has to be adapted to the current trends. To start the year 2016 with advantage over other people who are going to apply for the same job as you will, I listed all important things you should consider when writing your resume.Format for 2016Before you even start resume writing process, take a few moments to think about the fact that most people use the same strategy as you do. This also includes using a wide range of templates you can find online.The best way to get hired is to have a resume that stands out. This isnt too complicated to accomplish. For example, you can start just by mentioning the basic info and other skills on a blank piece of paper and later make some adjustments to make it look professional. Additionally, you can always hire some one to write your resume for you (theres nothing wrong with that). That way, your resume will look perfect, highly professional and will stand out among all others.Resume writing in 2016I always struggled whenever I had to write my resume. Its because I thought I have to mention as much info as possible in order to impress the recruiter etc. However, thats not always such a great idea, particularly if we take into account that average recruiter spends between 5 and 7 seconds looking at one resume.Its important to focus on emphasizing all strengths and skills you have to do a certain job successfully. Your resume should contain info about education, experience, or even some awards you have received that you think recruiter would find interesting.Dos and donts for 2016DO tailor your resume according to the job youre applying to. You have more chances to get hired if your resume matches all requirements listed by the recruiter.DONT use a same resume for every job. Generic resumes arent that beneficial. Yes, you dont spend hours on creating a perfect resume, but its highly unlikely it will match all requirements needed for certain job.DO only info that is relevant for specific job making sure the most important skills or achievements are listed on the top.DONT overdo it. Sometimes, less is more.DO list accomplishments, achievements or even experiences within a certain job role youve done before. This way, the recruiter will recognize your capabilities.DONT mention your job title only and leave it at that. They are more interested in things youve done within the job role e.g. came up with certain plan and program that improved students grades in school etc.DO specify your achievements. For example, increased sales or website traffic by 30% in 2 months.DONT be vague and say Increased sales only. That doesnt offer enough info.DO use a subtle, minimalist format that is easy to read.DONT use flowery designs, over-the-top formats and templates that are confusing.DO rea d entire resume once again look for grammar or spelling mistakes.DONT submit your resume without proofreading it first.DO polish your LinkedIn profile and other social media profiles.DONT publish inappropriate content on your social media profiles. Recruiters pay attention to how your act on social media as well. With the rise of internet, social media became a powerful tool that is of high importance for your career.Stats resumes + social media and their role in recruitment76% of resumes are rejected due to unprofessional email address.88% of resumes are rejected due to photo.Back in 2000, 22% of resumes were submitted via email or posted on some website. In 2014, more than 90% of resumes are sent by email or posted on websites.Applicant Tracking Softwares are able to eliminate about 75% of applicants.427,000 resumes are posted on Monster.com each week.89% of recruiters have hired someone via LinkedIn.68%of employers will find you on Facebook.93% of employers look at candidates soc ial media accounts before they decide whether to hire someone.Working on your resume to have higher chances of getting hired is the ideal way of starting a New Year successfully. You should always bear in mind that sometimes more in less and instead of bombarding and trying to fit everything into resume thus making it difficult to read you should opt for mentioning skills and qualities that are relevant for a specific job.

How often will you be billed?Can they provide references from other clients?Do they have a written fee agreement or representation agreement?How will they inform you of developments in your case? Keep in mind that a higher fee does not necessarily equate with a more qualified attorney. Consequently, a rock bottom fee may signal problems, inexperience, or incompetence. After meeting with the lawyer, you should ask yourself the following questions Are the lawyers experience and background compatible with your legal needs?Did they provide prompt and courteous responses to your questions?Are they someone with whom you would be comfortable working with?Are you confident they possess the skills and experience to handle your case?Are you comfortable with the fees and how they are structured?Are you comfortable with the terms of the fee agreement and/or representation agreement?

Ask Other Attorneys Lawyers know the skill and reputation of other lawyers. Attorne ys may be able to provide information about a fellow lawyer that you may not find in a book or online, such as information about a lawyers ethics, competence level, demeanor, practice habits, and reputation. Conduct a Background Check Before hiring any lawyer, contact the lawyer disciplinary agency in your state to confirm that they are in good standing as a member of the bar. For an online listing of each states lawyer disciplinary agency, review this directory of lawyer disciplinary agencies.

Peer review ratings provide an objective indicator of a lawyers ethical standards and professional ability, generated from evaluations of lawyers by other members of the bar and the judiciary in the United States and Canada. Tour the Lawyers Law Office You can tell a lot about an attorney from his law bro. Request a brief tour of his office, beyond the office or conference room where you met with the lawyer. Is the law office neat, orderly, efficient and well-run? What kind of support staff does the lawyer employ? Does staff appear friendly and helpful? Is the lawyers office local and easily accessible? Is a large portion of his office space unoccupied? Watch for red flags, such as mass disarray, unhappy staff members, and empty offices. By taking these five steps, you can select a lawyer with the legal skills and personal qualities that will best serve your needs.

5 Things Graduates Should Do to Find a Job

5 Things Graduates Should Do to Find a Job5 Things Graduates Should Do to Find a JobWith just a few weeks left before you are flung into the real world, youd probably rather sleep late than departure thinking about your job hunt. But according to a recent report by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, between 3 and 8 percent of new graduates dont find work right away.Soisnt it worth the effort to position yourself as a must-hire? The sooner you start working on scoring your first full-time job, the quicker youll get hired. Heres what you should be doing right now to find a job in the coming months. 1. Take another look at yourrsum. Sure, youre sick of looking at it, but updating yourrsumonce wont cut it. Youll continue to revamp this document for your entire career, so start off on the right foot by polishing it before you start sending it out. Make sure youve addressed the questions employers will have, as well as covered every inch of experience you have in your industry, though it might not be much just yet. Include your volunteer experience, internships and clubs or organizations you were involved in that relate to the career you want. For example, if you served as president for your universitys honor society, you could probably leverage some of those leadership skills on yourrsum. Once youve revamped, ask a trusted advisor to review and critique yourrsum. A professor or counselor who knows you well might have a better idea about what employers are looking for and can help you get the wording just right. They may also be able to point out other experience you should add that you may have overlooked. 2. Spend that graduation money on interview outfits. You want to make the best impression possible when you do go on interviews, and that starts with your wardrobe. Invest that money grandma gave you for graduation on a few simple pieces for women, a dark skirt, dark pants and button-up white shirt can be easily modified with accessories. For men, a pair o f dress pants and button-up shirt offers a professional look. Dont forget shoes they say your shoes tell a lot about you. Do you want your scuffed church shoes from freshman year to be the message you send potential employers? 3. Start the hunt now. Theres no rule that says you have to wait until you walk on stage and accept that diploma to start looking for work. And if you think itll be a quick process, thats all the mora reason to start hunting now. It can take several months to find a job, so consider what youll do for money in the meantime. And dont apply for just one job at a time. Dan Schawbel told Forbes staff writer Susan Adams that job seekers should apply for 30 to 40 positions if they hope to get responses.But remember to only apply for jobs you truly qualify for. Otherwise you waste your time and the time of hiring managers who have to exert energy disqualifying yourrsum. 4. Spend time on LinkedIn. Youre a real adult now, so its time to spend more effort growing yo ur networks. LinkedIn is where you build professional contacts and those inroads to the companies youre interested in working for. Make sure your profile matches yourrsum, and join a few groups that cater to your industry of interest. Participate by joiningin conversations to show your enthusiasm and experience. Then link to the people in those groups to grow your network. 5. Prepare yourselffor anything. In an ideal world, youd get snagged at the best company in town for your dream job. In reality, many graduates are taking on part-time jobs or jobs that dont require a degree simply to pay the bills. It can be disheartening when you spend four years or more on your education, only to end up in a job you thought you wouldnt work, but you have tobe realistic and open to what the future will bring. Be open to different positions in the industry you want to work in. If youre running up against a wall in your job search, look for part-time jobs or even additional internship opportuni ties. Often getting your foot in the door is enough to help you be eligible for the right position when it opens up.Lindsay Olsonis a founding partner and public relations recruiter with Paradigm Staffing and Hoojobs, a niche job boardfor public relations, communications and social media jobs.

There are roughly 100 SOWT operators in the Air Force, including 20 to 25 officers, Major Shannon said. Most are with the Hurlburt squadron. But others serve with AFSOC special tact ics units in the United States and overseas, he said. Not only do the low numbers of billets make if difficult to enter into the SOWT field, the fitness standards and selection program is equally as challenging. In fact, the SOWT candidates have to ace the PAST that is the same events as the Air Force PJ and CCT2 x 25m underwater swim, a 500m swim, pushups, situps, pullups, and 1.5 mile timed run.

Tasked with collecting weather data, the team endured sands torms that buried them in their sleeping bags. They survived 12 missile attacks, one which destroyed their humvee, and endured almost continuous small-arms attack. At one point, Sergeant Mack provided 36 continuous hours of weather observations so aircraft could evacuate seriously wounded Soldiers from Baghdad. He also performed security and weapons details with the other team members. You get so much satisfaction from this mission, Major Shannon said. Everyone works together and you affect the mission at every stage, from planning to execution to redeployment. Staff Sgt. Jody Ball, a four-year veteran of special operations weather, agrees. The combination of the people and the mission is what makes this job so great, he said. I work with Rangers, (Army) special forces, (pararescue jumpers), combat controllers its an elite group.

How to negotiate a job offer during the interview

How to negotiate a job offer during the interviewHow to negotiate a job offer during the interviewI recently received a sweet email from a participant in ur recent NYCBossed Up Bootcamp. In her note, Brianna highlighted a priceless negotiation lesson I think we all can learn from, too.Heres an excerpt from what she wroteI wanted to reach out to say thank you - I came to yourBootcampweekend in NYC back in April, and it was a really eye-opening and useful experience. It provided me with both an overall confidence boost and some very specific takeaways that have been helpful to me recently.When I came to Bootcamp, I was unhappy in my job and looking for other opportunities. About a month later, I got an interview with a great organization for a job that seemed like a great challenge for me. After a few interviews, I got the job Its a shift in the kind of work Ill be doing to something I really enjoy, the team seems great, and its a versetzung Im really excited.During the initial phone screen, the HR person handling the process asked me my salary range. I hadnt prepared to answer that so early on in the process. Before I answered, I remembered the negotiation advice from Bootcamp, and instead of giving a number without doing research, I turned it around and asked him what their salary cap would be. The range he gave wasmuchhigher than I would have given myself - and, when the offer came through, the final number was significantly more than I was previously makingI have your workshop to thank for that if I hadnt gone toBossed Up Bootcamp, I wouldnt have practiced those negotiation tips and I would have unknowingly continued to undervalue myself - and I could have missed out on a big salary bump.This message, of course, left me screaming YAS, BOSS at my laptop for quite a while.

Remember that negotiation starts with a solid offer.Youre not in any kind of a position to negotiate until an offer is on the table. And unless youre a contractor or consultant pitching the company (your prospectiveclient), then theyre the ones who should be making the first move on that front.2.

Small and Powerful Ways to Update Your Resume

Small and Powerful Ways to Update Your ResumeSmall and Powerful Ways to Update Your ResumeWhen was the last time you did a full review of your resume? If youre like many people, this document only gets an update when you switch jobs or apply for a new one. Thats understandable A total overhaul sounds daunting and time-consuming. Fortunately, making a few tiny tweaks to your resume- the type of adjustments that take just minutes to complete- can have a surprisingly big impact. Here are some suggestions for small yet powerful updates you can make to your resume. 1. Remove Old Positions Have you been working off the same resume since you graduated from college, and just tacking on new jobs? If youre 10 to 15 years into your career (or more) its probably time to remove some entry-level roles. Read your resume from the bottom up, and consider deleting older positions that might not be so relevant anymore. You can learn how many years of experience to include on your resume. Estimated time 30 minutes 2. Update Your Skills Have you taken a class? Mastered a new program? Started giving presentations regularly? Take a look at your resumes skills section and make koranvers you have listed all of your professional skills, both soft and hard. At the same time, consider removing some dated skills. If youre still listing proficiency with Lotus Notes, you can probably delete it. And, some really basic skills (like Microsoft Office) often can be removed as well, since theyre assumed for most office roles. Estimated time 15 minutes 3. Check Your Keywords If you work in tech, you know the latest jargon and buzzy words can change in a flash. Its Python one day, Ruby the nextBut thats really true for every industry- jargon changes, and with it, the words recruiters and applicant tracking software look for while scanning through your resume. Take a look at some job descriptions posted in your industry, then read through the experience and skills section of your resume to make sure you have all the necessary keywords listed. Estimated time 30-45 minutes 4. Update the Formatting Your resume doesnt need to be visually arresting (unless youre applying to be a designer or other art- or design-focused role). Still, design and formatting matter. Readability is important- that means using a standard font and plenty of white space. And while a resume template can be very helpful, you can also tweak it a bit so it doesnt look exactly like all the other resumes the human resources department flips through. Here are some formatting updates you might want to make Font Update your font choice if the one you have is hard to read or ho-hum. Estimated time 5 minutes Replace paragraphs with bullet points Or, if you already have bullet points, check that theyre concise. If they spill over to three lines, consider trimming the copy down to just two lines. You should read more advice on writing job descriptions on your resume. Estimated time 1 hour Change all written out numbers to numerals Not only will this give you more space, but its visually arresting. And, instead of writing out percent use the percentage symbol (%) instead. Estimated time 15 minutes Apply consistent style If one job title is in bold, all job titles need to be bolded. Make sure all your small formatting choices are consistent from top to bottom. Estimated time 15 minutes Make sure theres enough white space In an effort to get everything on your resume, you may have sacrificed white space by decreasing the space between lines, shrinking your margins, or reducing your font size. Print it out, and make sure behauptung adjustments havent made your resume a challenge to read and scan through. Estimated time 5 minutes 5. Remove Dated Phrases If your resume includes the phrase references available upon request it sends a signal that youre an older job seeker. Cut that phrase, and any mention of references, from your resume. Estimated time 5 minutes 6. Make Sure It s Saved Correctly Your filename should not be resume- you may only have one document on your computer with that name, but recruiters and hiring managers could have hundreds of documents with that filename. Instead, include your first and last name, along with the word resume. And, unless otherwise requested, its generally a good idea to send over resumes as a PDF- that way, all your careful formatting will be preserved. Estimated Time 5 minutes 7. Refresh Contact Information If Necessary While youre at it, make sure your contact information on your resume is up to date- and that youre using a professional email address for communications. (Consider setting up an email address devoted to your job search.) Estimated Time 5 minutes 8. Review the Top Half of Your Resume A resume is a concise document (often, just a single page in length). That means every bullet point and the word should be purposeful, supporting your candidacy. Still, its human nature for people to pay more attention to the beginning of the document than the end. To that end, make sure the top portion of your resume reflects your best, most relevant experience. This may mean, in some cases, moving sections around. Once youve had several jobs, for instance, your education probably belongs at the bottom of the page, not the top. If your most recent position doesnt display your most noteworthy skills and accomplishments, you may want to transition from a chronological to a functional resume. Finally, if you lead with a summary, profile, headline, or objective at the top of your resume, make sure that the copy sounds current, doesnt have dull or cliched phrases, and is a good match for your industry and the job youd like to have. Estimated time one hour 9. Proofread (Yes, Again) The space of time can make it easier to catch typos, grammar mistakes, and other small errors. Give your resume another proofread. This is a particularly good idea if youve just made many tweaks. Try reading it aloud and follow a proofreading checklist. Or, ask a friend or family member to review your resume.
