Images of Resume Writing - 3 Ways to Make Them Work For You

Images of Resume Writing - 3 Ways to Make Them Work For YouTo get the maximum use out of images of resume writing you need to let them speak for themselves. Here are three main ways to make this happen.First, you can use your images in presentations to your customers, clients or prospective employees, or to public records databases, where they can be easily accessed. Most people don't even know their own resumes exist, so making an effort to help them connect with you personally by bringing this information to their attention will really give them a good impression of you.Second, if you have been searching for something that will help you get that job, you should consider putting your resume online. You may have hired a service to do this for you, but why not give it a try yourself? The Internet allows for a very interactive experience and allows you to keep up with your competition as well.Third, consider putting up your resume on some of the more popular online job boards. Many job boards will offer the option of uploading your resume to their site. While this can take a little longer than it would if you were just putting it on your own personal website, it can be extremely effective at the same time.Just because you choose to put up your resume on a job board doesn't mean you can't offer it up to anyone who is interested. You can also email your resume to potential employers, not necessarily for them to view, but simply to tell them what you have to say about you and your skills. Even if you don't get the job, this is still a great way to get yourself out there in the recruiting arena and reach out to more people.Last, while it can be tempting to jump at the opportunity to start doing things in a hurry, if you want to get the most benefit out of your images of resume writing, you should only use them when you'ready to use them. If you wait too long you may find that you've forgotten about them and your resume is actually causing you more problems than it's helping you.Make the most of your resume by only using it when you feel that it's going to be very effective. Remember that images of resume writing is a powerful marketing tool, but only when used in conjunction with your words. If you want to use your resume to its full potential, you will need to put some time into making sure you use the images correctly and creatively.

Tips on How to Behave at Office Holiday Parties

Tips on How to Behave at Office Holiday Parties Perhaps best parodied on NBC’s The Office, the workplace holiday party each year requires a delicate balance between professional behavior and fun with your coworkers. (Though that is something the employees at Dunder Mifflin couldn’t quite master each year.) This year, the importance of proper etiquette and respect surrounding office functions like these is more pronounced in light of the national reckoning that, among other measures, has held men accountable for their inappropriate behavior and sexual misconduct toward their female colleagues. While men are busy pondering if they can hug women anymore, etiquette experts told MONEY they have been bombarded with requests this year to offer guidance on how to host or act at the annual office holiday function. Companies detailed in the Wall Street Journal are grappling with how to prevent inappropriate behavior. That includes Vox Media, which, after ousting its editorial director earlier this year following allegations of sexual misconduct, chose to not have an open bar at its upcoming holiday party. Despite the newfound interest in how to act at these shindigs, etiquette experts agreed on a number of tips to follow at office parties to keep it professional. They viewed these parties as an important part of belonging to a workplace, an opportunity to network, and have fun with your colleagues. You can drink, but keep it light Don’t be the drunk employee whose behavior will be the center of workplace gossip on Monday. Maralee McKee, an author and etiquette expert based in Orlando, said consuming just one drink per hour is a simple way to manage your intake. She also advices attendees to “keep the emphasis on office, not party.” “Don’t be lured into thinking that you’re at a party with your friends,” said Dr. Patty Ann Tublin, a behavioral and relationship expert. “You might get a huge laugh if you’re the guy or lady standing on the bar with the lampshade on your head, but that can be career suicide the next day. People will view that as an absence of self control, whether that’s fair or not.” Network with higher-ups and lesser-known colleagues “It’s a good opportunity for you to mingle with people like the higher-ups and the people you don’t see everyday who can be influential in your life,” said Jacqueline Whitmore, an etiquette expert who wrote the e-book The Do’s and Don’ts of Holiday Parties. And after getting those conversations started, Whitmore added, it’s wise to send them a follow-up note on the next work day. But for chatting with higher-ups, “don’t go up to them and start asking them for a raise or badmouthing anybody,” Tublin warned. Don’t take any risks with your outfit Keeping it appropriate â€" your apparel should depend on the venue and your typical office attire. “Even though this is a party, it’s a holiday and you’re having a good time, you can’t loose sight of the fact that office holiday parties are a work function,” Tublin said. So that means don’t wear something you’d wear to a club â€" or something you’d wear to a football game, experts said. If your office function is a more low-key, workday event, that doesn’t mean you can’t do something special. McKee recommended bringing holiday-themed earnings or an ugly sweater to put on for the event during the day if you’re feeling in the spirit. Thank the host â€" but don’t waste his or her time Depending on your workplace, the host for these events is often the executives or CEO. As etiquette typically mandates for any kind of party, it’s vital to thank the host for putting on such a celebration, experts said. So if you see the host have a moment of free time, approach him or her and thank them for organizing the event, experts said. If you don’t think they know your name, introduce yourself and what department you’re in. “Then let it go,” McKee said. “If the boss carries on the conversation, then of course carry one. But you never want to monopolize a host’s time because they have to spread it among everyone.” Though, if the event has more than 100 people at it, McKee said, you probably don’t need to pull aside the host and take his or her time away from the festivities.

3 Ways To Demonstrate Your Value In A Job Search - Work It Daily

3 Ways To Demonstrate Your Value In A Job Search - Work It Daily How To Demonstrate Your Value In A Job Search When I train career advisors and job seekers on the strategic approach to the job search, I make sure to mention a resume is an obituary. Resumes do a great job telling people what you did. Where you worked. What things you’ve done in your past that made a difference. Related: Job Search: How To Write Accomplishment Stories Resumes have a place in the job search as well. They are requirements in many HR departments’ intake process. They help hiring managers to remember you after an interview and pass you along the chain. But to really stand out from the rest requires you demonstrate the value you can bring in the future, not the past. Remember, you are being hired to solve someone’s problems. How To Demonstrate Your Value In A Job Search Here are three easy ways to help you demonstrate your value with a potential employer: 1. Have Something To Say Even if people don’t agree with you, they will respect you for being brave enough to voice an opinion. No one likes to hire a “yes” man. No matter what industry you go into, there is always an opportunity to indulge in some controversy. For example, if you are in marketing, you might have an opinion about Gillette’s Old Spice campaign. If you are in finance, you might have some insights into why the banking industry is doomed to yet another failure. If you are a project manager, you might have some issue with Agile. Having something to say shows you are motivated, and having motivation for your job means you are a low-risk candidate. 2. Have A Place To Say It Today, there are thousands of bloggers and many of them are job seekers. In fact, I have several clients who have been able to find work based on their blogs. A blog is a wonderful platform to show the world you have something to say. It shows you can write. It shows you are tech savvy. It shows you are not afraid to take a stand. You might document your job search. You might follow a topic. Here are some examples of some great job seekers who found work from their blogs: Karen Bolipata (Writer) Danny Cox (PR) Jenny Blake (HR) Norm Elrod (Marketing) 3. Be A Leader, Start A Community The majority of blogs are dead within three months. Most never get more than 50 people to read them. The comment section develops cobwebs. If you pass two restaurants and one is full with a line while the other is empty, which one are you going to assume is the better place to eat? When an employer is checking you out online, if you’ve linked to your blog from LinkedIn and from your e-mail signature, and the employer sees you ranting and raving online with nobody giving a crap, you might not get the result you hoped for. A blog is a community. Having comments shows you, as a thought leader, are provoking discussion and that people care about what you have to say. Apart from begging your friends to comment, this can be one of the most disappointing parts of starting a blog. And, I suspect, a major reason that they don’t last long. No one likes the feeling of talking to a wall. Having comments also tells Google you are special. And, with your name on the blog, your smart articles will soon begin to dominate Google search results for your name. This post was originally published on an earlier date.
