Job Seeker, Are You Crazy? American Idol Encourages It!
Next time your job search coach/resume writer advises you go a little ‘crazy’ and, well, let’s see… trash your old, boring, safe, and mundane resume—listen to them. If they ask you to have a little trust in their expertise…you know what you must do? You get out of your comfort zone—and, yes—listen to them. Continue reading

Valentine’s Day: Employer, Be Mine.
Image
On Valentine’s Day we share many heartfelt expressions with our loved ones. We tell them how wonderful they are; how much we appreciate them, that they make our lives better, that we can’t live without them and so forth. And that is wonderful! But, today it is an even more special Valentine’s Day because I would like you to perform an exercise to help you sprinkle some Valentine’s Day ‘love’ on your job search campaign. Why Are You So Special? Print out your resume and walk away from the computer (after reading the next steps, of course). Find a comfortable,... Continue reading

The New: From The Employer’s-Eye View
Image
Get this, your resume is not a job ad. You are not to list all the requirements to perform the job. (Employers already know what this entails). Your resume is a candidate promotional tool and you are to tell…what YOU did with the opportunities under the given job title—not that you DID actually fulfill the job title (that is the least expected of you). Continue reading

Hi "Confused in Denver" You cannot gauge what to do to present your unique career history by looking at other samples. So I am not surprised that you could not finda sample that would help you online. This is where a professional resume writer would help you. However, I can draw your attention to article above by reinforcing that you must list enough information to be a relevant candidate. So, would you think that your Law Degree would be a plus in your event planning career? If so, list it and be ready to make the connection for employers during an interview. If not, I believe simply listing it without any other additional details would suffice. You could just list Bachelor's Degree without getting into the law of things.

Are You Boring Recruiters?
Image
Does your resume resemble a check list, to-do list, a laundry list? Have you desperately tried to convince your prospective employers of your qualifications by including everything but the kitchen sink in your resume? Well, please don’t. (Seriously. Don’t) Believe me, HR knows what a job description is; they have seen thousands of resumes. While the HR/hiring authority’s goal is to screen resumes and identify qualified candidates, the person doing the screening, well, is a person—and, no one enjoys being bored to death, especially not by sifting through long-winded resumes that regurgitate all-too-familiar job descriptions.

Is Your Brand Hurting You?
Image
Many careerists in a quest to outdistance other job seekers work on developing a personal brand and that is great. The mistake is that often careerists launch a personal branding campaign based on what they have been told repeatedly they are best at. What's the problem with that? Many of us are cast into roles that we do not ENJOY just because we are good at them. Continue reading

Facebook and Your Career

The most important thing you must realize is that EMPLOYERS WILL ABSOLUTELY GOOGLE YOU! If you have a name, you are googleble; if you have any social networking account, even if just one—you are definitely googleble; which means your reputation is searchable. So, now that we established this, what do you do with that information Continue reading

Save Your Job Search: Change Your Negative Internal Dialogue
Image
So, begin to take notice, write down all the reasons why you believe your job search is not fruitful, what your weaknesses are, why you think you are NOT the best candidate and then eradicate that thinking. Replace it with positive self-talk and substantiate it with achievements. Ironically, exploring your negative dialogue and reversing it, can lead you to your UVP (unique value proposition).

Dancing With Words and Ideas Leads to Masterful Resumes
Image
To you job seeker, if you are trying to go at it alone, I hope you rethink this plan; because if a blank document on your screen with the vertical line blinking doesn’t get you excited, the end result won’t induce a better emotion from your employer. Leave it up to us “geeks” who love to write, dance with words and ideas, and will passionately communicate your differentiating value, which will win you the interview you dream of. Then, it is your turn to dance. Continue reading
