How to Prepare a Resume For Job Requirements

How to Prepare a Resume For Job RequirementsWhen a company or recruiter is looking for an employee, he will use resume requirements to determine whether you are the right candidate. Once you have a good idea of what it takes to land the job, you can prepare your resume according to this expectation.You will have to keep in mind that some types of jobs require a more specific style of writing compared to others. You must also keep in mind the type of education you have had, as this will affect your resume. You must emphasize the skills you learned and any additional skills that may be of use to the company.Another common type of job involves being an administrative assistant. Many companies find this type of job to be demanding since you may be responsible for filling out forms. Because of this, you should include all necessary information to help your employer determine if you are fit for the position. Include information about the job, salary, and benefits.With many people, the jobs they are seeking may not be entirely 'hard science' related. Rather, some careers like medical and dental assistant and paralegal could involve working with the patient in some way. These people must show an understanding of the disease, diagnosis, treatment, and goals of the patient. The resumes they are required to create must highlight this information.There are many career choices available today. Career counseling is designed to guide those interested in specific career choices. It is in these discussions that you should present yourself and how you may be the best fit for the company.Career counseling is usually conducted via phone. This is so the counselor can get a feel for your personality, interests, and skills. You must be ready to talk about how your achievements, skills, and background provide a better match for the job opening. Your curriculum vitae must follow the guidelines for this type of task, since these requirements may vary among companies.In general, the task of preparing a resume for a job is of great importance. As the hiring manager, you need to provide the right information to assure the company that you are the person they are looking for. You can help the hiring manager with this task by following some basic guidelines.You should include any skills and education you have that relate to the job and the requirements of the job. You must also emphasize the accomplishments and activities you completed to help the hiring manager to decide if you are the right candidate for the job. Use your own experience to show how you can improve on tasks that will enhance your chances of getting the job.

Battling Age Discrimination - Young and Old - Career Pivot

Battling Age Discrimination - Young and Old - Career Pivot Battling Age Discrimination Age discrimination is a reality in the current job market. It affects two vastly different groups: Young â€" The young men and women graduating from college over the last five years have had it tough. In fact, this generation has the highest unemployment in the last fifty years. Age discrimination is rampant because this generation does not have the exact skills or experience employers are wanting. Old â€" Ask anyone who is over fifty years of age and has been unemployed whether there is age discrimination in the job market. The answer will almost always be YES! Age discrimination is rampant because this generation is perceived as both not having kept their skills up to date and expecting to be paid at the higher end of the pay spectrum because of their experience. Notice both groups battle age discrimination due to issues in employers’ perceptions of their skills and experience. What is interesting is that both groups can use the same strategies to combat age discrimination. It is all about demonstrating and not telling what you can do to solve your future employer’s problems. Who you know and who knows you is critical! The days of waiting for a position to be posted and then applying for it are over. More than any time in history, personal relationships are paramount to your employment. The issue is these two groups have different definitions of what constitutes a relationship. If you are under 30, you likely define relationships in online terms. Following someone on Twitter, friending someone on Facebook, or connectingto someone on LinkedIn, you will likelysay you have formed a relationship. If you are over 50, you likely define relations in offline terms. If you have met someone in person (or at least talked to someone on the phone), you will likely say you have a relationship. The problem is that today’s world requires both! I serve an Austin based non-profit, Launch Pad Job Club, where I was asked recently by an over 50 job seeker if they need to be on Twitter. My answer was YES! They asked why. My response was that, if I hope to get a response from a recruiter, I willtweet to them. I will adapt to the communication medium that they are most comfortable with. Listen to the most recent episode I was recently giving a workshop on the Multi-Generational Workplace and was asked by a millennial participant about the problems she gets into with her mother. She always texts her mother. I had explained that different generations need to adapt to each other. If she wants to develop relationships with someone over 50, she will likely need to talk to them. Each group needs to adapt. You need to build relationships both online and offline. Create a Platform Creating a social media platform is key to demonstrating that you know your stuff and, therefore, battles age discrimination. You can now: Attach work product to your LinkedIn profile. This could be presentations on SlideShare, PowerPoint slide decks, videos, sample documents of your work, links to code you have written, and just about anything that can be found on the Internet. LinkedIn Publisher is now a platform that will be available for you to publish to anyone. This is an excellent way to demonstrate that you know your stuff. Once you have established a platform, showing that you know your stuff, you need to promote, promote, and promote some more. You do this by connecting effectively on social media. Each group has issues. The younger you are, the less likely you will have work samples to demonstrate what you know. In that case, create them! The older you are, the less likely you will want to promote and connect. It is not how we were raised. Get over it. Overcoming Age Discrimination If you want to overcome age discrimination, it is about targeting key employers and developing key relationships using both online and offline methods. Once the relationship is established, you need to be able to show them that you know your stuff. Whether you are experiencing age discrimination at the beginning or at the end of your career, it is all about relationships! This post is part of a weekly series on the Personal Branding Blog.

Graduate School Resume Template - Making Your Resume Stand Out

Graduate School Resume Template - Making Your Resume Stand OutDo you have the desire to pursue a graduate degree but lack the funds necessary to pay for it? If so, you may be in luck, because many of the leading companies that offer good jobs have programs that will allow you to earn your degree without taking out a loan. If you're interested in this type of program, you should know that a graduate school resume template is a very useful tool in helping you with the application process.A graduate school resume template can help you craft a professional resume that will really stand out. It's important to be prepared for interviews, because it shows you are a smart, motivated person who is dedicated to your goal of obtaining a graduate degree.As with any job search, you will need to have all the necessary forms on hand when you go for interviews. Most people will have college transcripts, letters of recommendation, as well as their high school grades. In most cases, you will also need to have a work resume and a salary history. Having all these documents together will greatly increase your chances of being called back for an interview.When writing your resume, be sure to use a format that will help you create a letter of recommendation. When someone writes you a letter of recommendation, they are usually offering you a big amount of their time, but it can be useful to have a short bio included in your resume, so that you can explain what you did before and what you are currently doing.The same goes for the work part of your resume. Some employers prefer to read resumes that contain only about five lines of text, so it is important to make sure you present yourself in the best possible light. Your resume must include your work history, accomplishments, strengths, hobbies, skills, and interests.After you get your first interview, you will likely be nervous. This is why it is so important to have a well thought out resume and a resume template that will help you ge t your foot in the door of an employer.You should consider using a graduate school resume template if you're going for a graduate degree or want to enter into a new job after you finish school. Since so many people are looking for jobs with good pay, you'll want to be sure you have the resume that will get you the job you're applying for.

Change Your Attitude to Find More Meaning in Your Work

Change Your Attitude to Find More Meaning in Your Work If you have what most people would consider a good job but you still feel like you could walk away from it all tomorrow if given the chance, don’t feel guilty. That doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful or don’t appreciate the opportunities you’ve been given. It just means that your corporate culture isn’t set up to help you acknowledge the purpose inherent in your job. “If your job is alienating and you cannot change what you do, you will have to focus on why you do it in order to find meaningfulness,” said Boston College management and organization professor Michael Pratt, co-author of a new paper being published in Organizational Psychology Review that looks at why people fail to find meaning in their work â€" as well as how they can create a sense of purpose for themselves. All jobs do have a purpose, Pratt pointed out; after all, a company’s not going to pay you to be there if you’re not contributing something. The trick is figuring out what that job generates (besides just a paycheck) in your search for meaning. Read next: How to Talk About Gun Violence at Work Pratt said people who do hands-on blue collar work can be more satisfied with their jobs than white-collar workers because, at the end of the day, it’s easier for, say, a carpenter to see what they’ve accomplished that day than a computer programmer. The digitized nature of most office work today creates a sort of barrier between us and our accomplishments. “For much of history, we measured work by tangible output. That was our measuring stick,” Pratt said. But that metric no longer applies for the majority of the American workforce today. “With knowledge work, creative work, and the like, I think we need new standards,” Pratt said. “I think we, as a society, are still working this out.” Part of the problem is that, with the exception of nonprofits and fields like teaching and public service, most jobs today use the amount of money you earn or save the company as the measuring stick to determine your value. While it’s important to pay attention to this for obvious reasons, Pratt said, a singular focus on the bottom line can erode the sense of a deeper purpose in work. Read next: Bored at Work? Here Are 7 Ways to Snap Out of It “Research suggests that there are three to six major ‘stories’ that people tell themselves about why work is meaningful,” Pratt said. “If an organization relies too heavily on any one of them, [employees] will not find this rationale sufficient for finding meaning in their work.” Since you’re probably not going to change your corporate culture overnight (or by yourself), Pratt stressed the need to adopt a shift in mindset so that you’re able to focus on objectives or accomplishments that go beyond just dollars and profits. Ask yourself, “Were the people in my organization better off today because of my efforts or not?” Pratt suggested. “They can also be team builders and mentors within their organization, and they can also strive to do work that is of the highest quality.” And if you’re lucky enough to have a job where you earn a lot of money but just can’t find any deeper meaning, you don’t have to quit to go “find yourself” or throw away your career to pursue your dream of writing a novel. Instead, use the skills that fatten your wallet to enrich others: volunteer, tutor, or find other ways outside of work to give back. While it might not be a cure for cancer or world peace, chances are there is a way to extract some deeper meaning out of the work you’re already doing.

5 Things College Taught Me About Succeeding In The Real World - Work It Daily

5 Things College Taught Me About Succeeding In The Real World - Work It Daily My four years spent at my wonderful, small, home-away-from-home college university were undoubtedly the best four years of my life, even if they didn’t always seem that way. Related: What I've Learned 7 Months Out Of College I learned more from things that went on outside the classroom that are unparallel to anything I’ll ever get to discover and experience again. It all started as a blur; scary, exciting and mysterious all at once. It ended like a dream that I was waking up from all too quickly. When it was time to go, all the same feelings arose as they had on my first day of my college career. The same questions were asked, but ultimately, college taught me more about succeeding in the real world for reasons beyond each course, each semester. 1. The only constant thing is change. It’s a quote we hear all too often throughout our lives, yet you really get to experience this throughout college. You’re finding yourself, you’re meeting new people, and new things are constantly occurring. Whether it’s friends, or your major, or your choice of clothing, or maybe just life in general, nothing ever really stays the same. Things change and so do you. The transformations you start to become familiar with in college undoubtedly stay with you when you enter the real world, too. New places, careers, people, and even a new set of clothes to complete the circle. If college taught me anything, it was that change isn’t always a bad thing, and more times than not, it can lead you to the best things. 2. Even when you’re working hard, work harder. College was competitive enough. Whether you’re competing with yourself to do better, or competing with a hundred other applicants for that one internship, you’re going to find that no matter how hard you think you’re working, it’s always important to go a little bit further. The real world tends to work the same way; competition never leaves us, especially when searching for that job or working in that entry-level position, it never hurts to work harder than you already are. 3. No one is going to hold your hand. And that’s OK. You’re probably surrounded by lots of people in college willing to hold your hand such as parents, roommates, and even professors, but it doesn’t mean that you should let them. There’s also going to be times when you find that no one has your back, and that’s also OK. When entering the real world, the best thing you can take away from college is to surround yourself with people who you can count on, but never put all of your eggs in one basket, because one day they may not be there, and you have to be able to count on yourself. 4. One bad grade won’t decide your future, just as one good grade will not do so either. It took a semester or two before I stopped killing myself to do well in school. It’s a big adjustment learning how to learn in an entire new atmosphere. It will take a while before you come to the realization that sometimes, you’ll do poorly, and sometimes you’ll do better than you ever knew you were capable of. This taught me a lot about what I could expect in the real world. Sometimes, you make mistakes, and other times, you’re the office rock star. Neither one makes you any more or less of a person or employee. You still have to accept the malfunctions when they arise, and you still have to give it your all, even after you do well. 5. You can’t please everyone. It is self-draining to make everyone happy and in trying to do so, you will certainly lose your own happiness. While you’re attempting to be fair, you’re not being fair to the most important person in your life â€" you. It’s hard to balance the never ending schoolwork, the many of new friends you’ll meet over four years, roommates, money, family who is now not under the same roof, and so on. College is about balancing your time and being selfish so that you balance it to fit your own happiness and priorities. The sooner you realize you cannot please everyone, the better off you will be. The people who are meant to be in your life will always be there and will always understand. The same goes for the real world â€" This is still your time to find your own way, to make regulations that best suit you. After college, everyone is on a different schedule and the best thing you can do is organizing your own self first. Of course, indisputably, without a doubt, your college courses are important and significant to things you will encounter in the time after your graduation day. Yet there are so many other things you’ll find about yourself and the experiences around you that will help you to survive “the real world” â€" and you might not even realize it while you’re encountering them. College has a lot to teach us, and you don’t necessarily have to be sitting in a classroom to learn. This is a guest post. Cara Jo was born and raised in South Jersey.
