Three Steps to Writing Your Own ResumeArticle Category : Resume Standards While most professionals hire a professional resume writer, some draft their own resume. People who write a lot for business usually have more success in putting together a sharp, focused presentation; still, anyone can learn the basic steps to prepare his or her own resume.There are three major differences between a “strong” resume and an “o.k.” resume: 1. FORMAT AND PRESENTATION DETERMINE WHETHER THE RESUME IS READ The average resume is scanned, not read, for only 8-15 seconds. It either creates a strong impression to the reader immediately or it is set aside. It is similar to the impression you make on the interviewer. Therefore, make sure your resume is wearing the equivalent of a “business suit” and not jeans and flip-flops! Choose a format that complements your career goal. If you are seeking a job in your field and have experience, use a chronological resume. This resume starts with your most recent job and works backward. Conversely, if you are seeking a new type of work, you may want to consider the functional/combination resume. This style groups your skills together and includes a short chronological work history at the end. Other ways to insure that your presentation gets noticed include:
2. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TELL WHAT YOU’VE DONE; RESPONSBILITIES STATE WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE DONE Not all accomplishments have to be big, but they have to show that you got results as you carried out your responsibilities. Often, they are something you are proud of or, they can simply quantify what you have done on a daily basis. Many of your routine activities can be quantified and written as accomplishments that demonstrate your experience and knowledge, and proof of how you’ve HELPED the company! Here are some things to consider when naming accomplishments. Quantify whenever possible. For instance, did you:
3. AVOID COMMON ERRORS IN RESUME WRITING Many job seekers either don’t know or don’t understand the many items that do not belong in a resume. They include the following:

Article Category : Resume Standards Writing a cover letter to send with your résumé can be both confusing and frustrating. What exactly should you say? Are you saying too much? Are you only speaking about your needs vs. the company’s needs? Oh, what to do! In this “short” piece, I will list some ideas on how to craft your cover letter. I have also provided some important links — for additional assistance — particularly if you find yourself still needing outside help.Basics * A matching business envelope {#10} is acceptable. Tri-fold your copies separately; when you place the cover letter inside the envelope, make sure that the letter is shown first [when you lift the flap of the envelope up] followed by your résumé. Fold it so that your name and contact information is the first thing the recruiter sees. If you choose to use a kraft envelope make sure that is no smaller than 9×12 or bigger than 10×13. Place an attractive computer generated label on it with your return address shown appropriately. If you must write on it, PRINT your information and do not be fancy. Remember: you want the post office and the company’s mailroom to be able to read what you wrote! Otherwise, important time may be lost in the process. * If you are emailing your information make sure that the job listing stipulates that attachments are okay. If not, don’t you dare send attachments! Instead, within the body of an email message you can write your cover letter [a brief introduction] and then cut and paste your résumé. I cannot tell you how many files never get read when the person does not do as instructed. You can also follow up and mail in a hard [paper] copy if an address is provided. Beginnings * Match the header on your résumé with the header on your cover letter. They can and do get separated! An example header should look like this: Jane Doe * Put today’s date on the cover letter. * Next, include your contact’s information, which can include: Ms. Ellen Snow – Dear Ms. Snow: Body * Keep in mind that your cover letter must not be lengthy. You can say all that must be said in no more than three, maybe four, brief paragraphs. * Here is a sample: Attached, please find a copy of my résumé for your review. I am interested in the position of corporate flight attendant listed online at www.flybynight.com. I believe my three years of international flying experience along with my culinary background and language skills makes me the ideal candidate to serve FlyByNight’s distinguished clientele. Currently, I work as an independent contractor and have flown to top destinations in Europe as well as throughout the U.S. and Canada. FlyByNight’s need for a dependable, trained, and highly experienced team player is exactly the type of position I desire. I look forward to meeting with you in person to discuss your particular needs and how I can help FlyByNight successfully carry out its mission as the best operator of private jets in the world. Feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience; I can be reached at 919-555-1212 or by on cell phone at 919-555-1213. Byes * Sincerely, Jane Doe Leave 3-4 lines from your “Sincerely” to your name. Your closing shouldn’t include other words including Regards [too plain], Cheers! [too British], Love [too personal], etc. Remember, this is a business letter. In summation, keep it short and specific. Have three or four main points you can emphasize about your strengths, particularly, those points which match with the points listed by the company in their job details. In this particular case the candidate emphasized her culinary, language, and international travel experience, as well as her availability. All four points were stressed in the company’s job listing which read: “…international jet operator is searching for an experienced cabin attendant. This position involves serving our on demand charter clients from east coast locations to destinations in the U.S. and abroad. Must have exceptional food service skills. Current training with FACTS, FlightSafety or similar training vendor; French or Spanish language skills: a plus… You cannot avoid talking about yourself, but you can control how you talk about yourself. Do not… 1. …beg for an interview. 2. …mention money or benefits. If the job listing “demands” that you list your salary requirements, simply state that salary is negotiable. 3. …overly boast about your skills: think about what the company’s needs are, do you think they care that you were the recipient of an NBAA scholarship? It is, however, okay to list scholarship awards on your résumé. 4. …name drop. Unless, you already come highly recommended by someone they know and like. Your mentor may be well known in this industry, but not universally liked. You can use them on your list of references, however. Jane Doe March 21, 2005 Ms. Ellen Snow Re: Corporate Flight Attendant Opening [this is optional, but it can be helpful especially if the company has multiple openings available.] Dear Ms. Snow: Attached, please find a copy of my résumé for your review. I am interested in the position of corporate flight attendant listed online at www.flybynight.com. I believe my three years of international flying experience along with my culinary background and language skills makes me the ideal candidate to serve FlyByNight’s distinguished clientele.

Article Category : Resume Standards To succeed in today’s global marketplace, companies must hire the best and the brightest. Having talented employees can make the difference between success and failure.Job hunting in this new economy is competitive, dynamic, results-driven, and requires your best efforts. In the past, jobs and careers were permanent, stable, and predictable. Today all of that has changed. Jobs, careers, and the world of work are transient, unpredictable, and involve risk. If you want to be successful, you have to take smart risks, know the rules, and play by them. To set yourself apart from the competition, follow these job-hunting tips for the new economy: 1. Know what you have to offer. What are you selling? What specific skills, experience, and knowledge do you bring with you? The question employers want answered is: “What can you do for my organization?” 2. Create solid marketing materials and package them well. Does your r閟um?present specific accomplishments, complete with results that demonstrate what you can do for a potential employer? If not, why not? Is it clean, neat, and easy to read? 3. Make it easy for employers to hire you. Think about a variety of options that could work for you and the employer. Keep an open mind about when, where, and how the work could be done. Cutting off the discussion too early can result in lost opportunities. Whereas maintaining an ongoing conversation can lead to innovative solutions that suit both parties. 4. Take the initiative in selling your services. Let people know what you have to offer. Give employers a reason to talk with you; they need to know the benefits that hiring you will provide them. Be prepared to offer that information, even if they don’t ask for it. 5. Think about the employer’s needs, not your agenda. Never mind your agenda (getting a job), think about their agenda (solving a problem). What problem are they trying to solve? Describe how you can help. Then follow up, follow up, follow up. Apply these job hunting tips and you are sure to set yourself apart from the competition, shorten your job search, and find the work you love! About The Author Hi, I’m Mary Jeanne Vincent.

Article Category : Resume Standards Jack, downsized from his last job, was frozen in a place called Apathy. Had been for months now. Knew he had to get moving, had to find a job, but ? just couldn’t seem to get his act together. Oh, he’d tried ? a little. But his lack of immediate success just made him that much more apathetic.Listless, almost indifferent, he dithered, wasting time on unrelated tasks. Found excuses not to move forward. Procrastinated ? and hated himself for it. His family and friends tried to be supportive, but that only seemed to deepen his gloomy outlook. He was stuck. Getting Back in the Game Sound familiar? If so, read on ? there are things you can do to quickly get unstuck! Irrational fear, not the lack of ability or opportunity, is the usual cause of apathy during a job search. Sometimes we fear we are too old, too inexperienced, too long out of work, too ? something. At other times, fearing rejection, we assume that no one will ever want us again. Or that if they do, we won’t be able to hold the job. We fear it’s a bad job market, the wrong career track, the wrong time of year, our health, ? oh, lots and lots of things lead us to apathy! What to do: Put your fears aside Worrying about the past or future never helped anyone, but thoughtful, persistent action will. Others, many in worse straits than you and tired of “sawing sawdust,” have found their way forward. So can you. Plan and, if need be, plan again “Those who fail to plan,” it’s been said, “plan to fail.” But not every plan will work, so be prepared to rethink your plan. Check your tools Ask yourself such things as: Do my r閟um?and cover letters impress rather than bore? Do I know how to find job opportunities? Are my interviewing and negotiating skills as polished as they should be? Is my personal appearance acceptable? Correct or improve what you can. Gain exposure If no one knows you exist, nothing happens. So identify and use all marketing channels appropriate to your goals: job ads, recruiters, networking, information interviewing, and many others. Once you have correctly gained exposure to the right hiring personnel, favorable things should start to happen. Start small Just getting started is often the hardest part of a job campaign. Therefore, begin with something easy-answering ads or contacting your references again. Then move on to those job campaign actions like networking that typically take more time and effort. Study the Process. Most job hunters today have only a vague idea about how to go about marketing themselves. If you take the time to learn and apply effective job-hunting techniques, however, you will surely shorten the time it takes you to find a satisfying position. Seek Professional Help If despite your best efforts you are still struggling, then consider seeking professional help from qualified and experienced career coaches or consultants. Such knowledgeable personnel can help pinpoint your problem areas as well as suggest paths of action that you may not have thought of. Yes, job-hunting apathy is a real challenge. But if you have read this far, then you know how to lick it. (Jack did!) So! No more worrying, no more procrastinating, no more self-recriminations-just get that ball rolling! (And start right now!)

Article Category : Resume Standards What are you interested in? We all have a passion for something. So, what is your passion?Are you actively seeking information about your passion? Knowledge, providing it is correct knowledge, will increase your power. In this century there is an increasing demand for experts in so many fields. Everything is becoming more and more specialized. Let me give you an example. At the turn of the 19th Century, all you needed to do to be an Accountant was to be good with numbers and undertake some training with other accountants. Later, formal qualifications were required. It consisted of a special course called a Diploma where up to a dozen specific subjects had to be studied. As technology increased and finance, book-keeping and taxation became increasingly more complex, more subjects were required to be undertaken, presently around three dozen. The Diploma was replaced with a Degree. Accountants can specialize in general accounting, management accounting, taxation accounting and other specific areas. Employers pay much more for specific talents and qualifications than they do for general labour. So, are you seeking knowledge in your chosen field? Are you updating your knowledge platform on a regular basis? If you are not then you are almost certainly going backwards. This means that you will be rapidly overtaken by others who are embracing new technology and absorbing the knowledge that goes along with it. To succeed today you need to specialize in a niche market. Let me ask you a question. Let’s assume that you have created a new and exciting product. You want to patent it to protect your rights. Would you go to any old lawyer or would you seek out a specialist Patent Attorney? Let’s say you required a knee reconstruction. Would you ask a normal doctor to perform the surgery or would you seek out a surgeon who specializes in this form of re-constructive surgery? You want the best surgeon, don’t you? One more example. If you owned a Nissan motor vehicle, would you prefer to take it to a Nissan specialist mechanic? Or would you entrust the repairs to a general mechanic whose workshop is full of clapped-out old bombs. Finally, don’t be fooled into thinking that you don’t need to keep learning. We all need to learn on a continuing basis. To achieve more we have to know more. We don’t necessarily have to do more but that helps too. Some people get a couple of years of experience, repeat that experience for twenty years then think that they have twenty years of experience. Wrong. They still have only two years of experience that they have repeated ten times. There is a big difference. What are you doing to become a specialist?

Article Category : Resume Presentation, Resume Standards You’re still reading?so I know my title grabbed your attention.Why? Because it ‘packed a punch.’ You have three seconds to nab your reader in any written communication. Do it with a smashing title or headline! This secret technique, when used properly, practically guarantees that he or she will stay with you till the last line of your cover letter, article, or report. How does this little secret apply to a resume cover letter? I’m glad you asked! Put it at the top of your next job-search cover letter and you’ll attract the employer’s undivided attention. Without this powerful little gem, however, you risk being a victim of the ’scan and trash’ syndrome. Why do I use the phrase, “Killer Secret?” To make my point. It’s an attention-grabber! I got your attention and curiosity. You can lasso the same things from your reader. When it comes to cover letters, however, the use of a headline is hardly a theory. It’s a FACT that everyone is attracted to books and articles and letters that have a title that sizzles like a burger on a grill! People today pick up a magazine, newspaper or advertisement, scan first and read later. You can stop that process cold. A strong headline that ‘jumps’ off the page of your cover letter will keep them reading your writing. And if you’re trying to land a job interview, what could be more important than riveting the person to your every word? Imagine the results you’ll experience in your job search when your cover letter opens with an attention-grabbing headline that is so unique and so compelling that the hiring manager cannot put it down? He or she will actually be excited to meet you, to discuss the job, and to hand it over to you! Potential employees that show creativity and color in their communication are a boon to any company. Maybe you’re thinking it’s easy for me. I’ve been a writer for 20 years and you’re just beginning. But I’m here to tell you it’s easier than you may think. Here’s what to do. Just above the typical greeting in your cover letter (Dear Mrs. Smith), place your ‘killer’ headline. And to make it stand out even more, type the sentence in bold-face print and center it on the page. (Two lines maximum). Here are THREE examples of excellent cover letter headlines: THREE reasons why I believe I may be the candidate you’re looking for to fill [insert job opening title here]. I have researched [company name] and believe I am an ideal match for the [insert job opening title here]. Let me show you how why I am a perfect fit for the position of [insert job opening title here]. With a headline like one of the above, what do you think Mrs. Smith will do? Trash and scan? No way. She will be drawn in and want to read more about you. Using the ‘muscle’ of a strong headline at the beginning of your next job-search cover letter can fill your calendar with interviews for the job that is just right for you. So ‘pack a wallop’ to your next cover letter with a smashing title or headline and then get ready for the phone to ring!

Article Category : Resume Presentation, Resume Standards To begin, make a decision to discard any former knowledge learned about the “rules” of resume and cover letter writing. People commonly become stuck in “bad” writing habits from a time gone by.It is almost a certainty that since you last wrote your resume, much has been learned and even more has been changed. This is as it should be, for everyday, very creative people are adding to the resume and cover letter writing arsenal. The Basics For years, we have been told that to be most effective, a resume should be only one page. This just does not apply any longer! Today’s resume is creative and unique. Aside from the most essential and key elements, a resume should reflect the personality and need of the job seeker and not be some cookie cutter rendition of what is “acceptable and expected.” Standards in resumes and cover letters have changed dramatically, but, only so far as the job seeker has the creative expression and know-how to pull it off! Therein lies the difference. Everyday, employers read all of the standard resumes. They are required to go through each and every one! But, which one will catch their eye? Formatting in resumes and cover letters has expanded, too. When you consider that your resume will be your own, personalized form of marketing yourself — this lends itself to all manner of unique communication and expression. Again, so long as the essential elements are included in each resume and cover letter, you are at complete liberty to make certain that your resume will impress and with a bang! Just how, exactly, does one do this? First of all, learn about the most basic principles involved in writing a highly effective resume and cover letter. Once you have this down, the creative expression can begin! Your most basic purpose in writing your resume and cover letter will be to be noticed among the many. You want to stand out as not just a good candidate but as “the” candidate just fitting for the job you want. When you consider that next to your well written resume, not even one hundred other resumes will be written as well as yours, you can see the odds will be in your favor. Your salvation here is in writing a resume that will compel a perspective employer to notice your credentials. If you can master this technique, the rest will be pure gravy.

Article Category : Resume Standards Millions of Un-Sung Heroes are born every minute! They are found everywhere-on street corners, in our homes, offices, and communities-wherever there are people in need of rescue. These special people, whose positive actions and initiatives are performed to benefit others, are not famous or in the news for what they are doing; but their efforts affect, enrich and touch countless lives.Every business has these Un-Sung Heroes. They are the receptionists, secretaries, and administrative professionals we rely on daily to keep the wheels of corporate America turning. The role of the office professional has changed significantly as reliance on technology and office automation has increased. Downsizing or organizational restructuring has led secretaries and administrative assistants to assume a wider range of new responsibilities that were once the property of management and senior professional staff. How to Identify the Un-Sung Heroes in Your Office Un-Sung Heroes are easy to recognize, but just in case you can’t find them in your office, here is a simple way to help you spot their contributions. If you were able to spot at least one of these behaviors, you have caught a glimpse of a real live Un-Sung Hero. Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to show your appreciation for all their efforts and hard work. Every April, we celebrate National Administrative Professionals Week, which was originally created in 1952 as National Professional Secretaries Week to emphasize the importance of secretarial work and to encourage more women to become secretaries. Included in this week-long celebration is National Secretary’s Day-a special holiday to honor, acknowledge and express appreciation for secretaries throughout the United States. Over the years as men became secretaries, the role changed significantly to that of an administrative support function. As a result the name changed to Administrative Professional’s Day. It is customary to give a politically correct gift (cards, gift certificates, flowers, etc.) or to take the administrative professional to lunch. However, don’t wait for the next holiday to acknowledge the many contributions your Un-Sung Heroes make. Going forward, develop a positive recognition habit and commit to finding at least one thing each week you can do to thank your administrative professional.
