Resume Writing Advice - How to Write a Resume to Attracting a JobMany people find that writing a resume is hard, and maybe even more difficult than finding the job they want. Some people go on an unbelievable resume rewriting spree in order to make the perfect resume that will impress their potential employer.Hiring managers have been known to look through a resume and call someone else for the position they want. Most hiring managers would love to hire the best candidate for the job, but don't want to waste time or money doing so. Therefore, it's important to do your homework. Start by understanding what you're applying for and what your resume should contain.With the overwhelming amount of job opportunities available today, you may be surprised to learn that a dream job that you've worked for months on can be more popular than you think. If you're looking for a job, know the job you're applying for before you start.You may be wondering, 'What is my resume supposed to do?' Well, you should try to convince the hiring manager that you are an asset to the company and are an exceptional employee that can help the company grow. This can be done through talking about your abilities and accomplishments, including your past work experience, education, or hobbies.Speaking from experience, if you've been at the company for a year and a half, don't include any job experiences. Remember, that hiring managers are looking for long-term relationships with new people, not any experience you've had. However, if you've had years of experience in the job you're applying for, give them examples of your most outstanding work.Writing a resume for a marketing position may be different than a sales job or a marketing manager position. You'll find that most hiring managers want a clear picture of your prospective job before they make a decision. The first question you should ask is, 'How do I know if I have the qualifications for this job?' What you are looking for is information that you can use to put yourself in a positive light.Writing a resume can be a fun exercise. If you're only doing it to impress the hiring manager, it can be very frustrating. But if you're trying to find the right job for yourself, you should do it in order to gain the experience you need. As long as you get as much out of it as you put into it, it will be well worth it.

Jeff Bezos Net Worth More Than Bill Gates Ever Was

Jeff Bezos Net Worth More Than Bill Gates Ever Was Jeff Bezos’s net worth reached $105.1 billion Monday on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index as Amazon.com Inc. shares added to a 12-month surge that’s lifted the online shopping giant’s market value by almost 57%. Amazon shares have risen 6.6% this year, with a report showing the Seattle-based company captured 89% of online spending among dominant holiday retailers in the five-week period beginning the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. The latest jump has pushed Bezos’s fortune definitively above the high reached by Microsoft Corp.’s Bill Gates in 1999. The Amazon founder passed Gates in October with a net worth of $93.8 billion and his fortune crossed $100 billion for the first time a month later when the holiday shopping season kicked off on Black Friday. Gates, 62, would have a net worth of more than $150 billion if he’d held onto assets that he’s given away, largely to the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation. He has given away almost 700 million Microsoft shares and $2.9 billion of cash and other assets since 1996, according to an analysis of his publicly disclosed giving. Bezos also controls closely held space exploration business Blue Origin and the Washington Post.

You Only Have 3 Seconds To Get The Job Offer Yikes! - Work It Daily

You Only Have 3 Seconds To Get The Job Offer Yikes! - Work It Daily “I know in three seconds who will get the job.” That’s what a friend once told me. He explained when candidates are waiting in Reception, all he has to do is walk through, take a quick glance at them, and he knows who will get the job offer or, at least, who will not. Three seconds is very good. Of course, as a recruiter, I pride myself on being able to know if a person has what it takes to get an interview after spending five seconds on their cover letter and maybe eight on their resume. The funny thing is, most job seekers don’t believe any of this. That’s why they prepare rambling cover letters and resumes awash with self-praise. Of course, they are wrong. But let’s forget about job seekers for a moment. How about funding seekers? Entrepreneurs looking for backers. In this month’s issue of Inc. magazine, David Tish of TechStars is quoted as saying, “It’s pretty clear in 20 seconds whether the person [the funding seeker] has it in them or not. You don’t need to know that much.” “You don’t need to know that much.” Remember that line, job seekers. And take a minute (it won’t take more than that!) to read, “6 Things Job Recruiters Pay Attention to, as Determined By Science.” Let me save you the time: your name; current title/company; previous title/company; current position start and end dates; previous position start and end dates; and education. If you have been reading my articles you know I am contrarian. I look at your location, hopefully a section listing selected accomplishments, years of employment and education. If all checks out, I look at skills and experience. Regardless, you get the message: No one cares about an “Objective” or “Professional Summary.” But here’s the rub: Resumes are changing. Before you know it everyone will have a multimedia resume like those on Purzue. Why? Let’s get back to Mr. Tisch. One entrepreneur who pitched to him did not do well. But then Tisch received a video from him with animal masks and flames which was a “ridiculously over-wrought (but effective) team video.” It made the case the team members “have a personality.” It clinched the deal. Having a video, albeit probably not an “over-wrought” one, may clinch the deal for you too! Just remember: You only have a few seconds to grab the employer’s attention and get the job offer. Don’t waste it on nonsense. Related Posts: Your College Degree Doesn’t Matter To Employers â€" Here’s Why.
