Client Feedback - Master Executive Resume Writing Service

Client Feedback - Master Executive Resume Writing Service ________________________________________March 9, 2015JacquiI wanted to let you know that I have accepted a job offer starting next week.   The VP of Human Resources for the company told me that my resume was the best he has ever seen in 30 years in the business.   The job is Director of Commercial Strategy for JP Energy.   While the connection with Name Redacted  helped, the resume sealed the deal with the other executives in the company.Thank you again for your hard work on putting my story together.   While the process was grueling at times, it was definitely worth it.I’d would still like to follow through with the Linked In updates to complete the story whenever you are able to finish that.Let me know what else you need from me to finish up the process.Thanks again,Todd Johnson________________________________________Nov. 19, 2014My name is Margaret Tompkins and you worked with me on creating my resume last February 2013 (attached).First off, I want to thank you so much for every thing you did to help me on my resume. I 100% believe that this resume helped me receive an incredible opportunity in Charleston, SC last year. I ended up interning for a Wedding/Event Planning company by the name of  Easton Events  and then was hired in January 2014 to be the Sales Manager for a brand new event venue in Charleston called  Cannon Green  (a sister company of Easton Events).The past 15 months have been eye-opening, rewarding, challenging and valuable to the start of my career, but now I think it is time to move on to even bigger and better things.I ended up leaving my job in October and I am interested in pursuing different opportunities in a different city. I wanted to see if one of the services you offered was to add additional excerpts into an already crafted Resume (specifically my internship with Easton Events and my position with Cannon Green)I am also interested in a new target position. This past year, I have found that I really enjoy writing blogging and I a m interested in sending my resume to various magazines (Conde Nast and Time Inc.) and internet media companies (Buzzfeed) in New York City.Thank you so much for taking the time to read this e-mail and I look forward to hearing from you!Margaret Tompkins Marketing, Writing, Event Planning Professional ________________________________________Sept. 25, 2014Resume rescueMy old, old, old resume needed an overhaul! I wanted a new one that would weave together two related but different fields. I was a little concerned about how to effectively highlight my experience and accomplishments in both fields. Jacqui pulled it all together creating a resume that chronicled my career history but also brought out my personality in a very professional way. I would absolutely recommend her.Jini Cicero________________________________________Aug. 18, 2014Jacqui,I have enjoyed this (resume) process and have gotten a lot out of working with that long worksheet and talking it over with you: a dose of extra confidence, so many of my career stories refreshed in my mind, as well as a reminder of the key things that I am good at and enjoy. All this is excellent preparation for interviews, in addition to having the resume.You have been a pleasure to work with! I appreciated your professionalism, writing skill, listening abilities, and timely deliverables. I will certainly be happy to refer others to you.A. Ramage Management Consultant Innovation Facilitator | Change Agent | Project Manager ________________________________________March 7, 2014JacquiAs usual your work is stellar! You are one of my absolute favorite writers! In a sea of many talented writers you  REALLY have something special.Shelly B. Goldman Executive Career and Job-Search Coach | Recruiter ________________________________________Oct. 10, 2013From the first telephone call, Jacqui asked insightful questions and listened carefully. The worksheet she provided not only helped me identify my strengths but triggered memories of accomplishments Id forgotten!Just working with Jacqui reminded me why I’m a great hire!!The final resume was jaw droppingly amazing. All my husband could say was, “it’s you”!! Jacqui took the information I provided and presented it in a way I never would have imagined or could have done myself. Better the resume alone immediately generated many inquiries and compliments from recruiters and prospective employers.I was so beyond delighted, I had Jacqui revamp my LinkedIn profile and prepare cover letters.Two words: hire her!Ann Sutton (via a LinkedIn testimonial) Enterprise Practice Delivery Leader __________________________________April 27, 2013  Hey Jacqui!      I apologize for the delay in response. I have been utilizing every free moment the past few weeks studying for my Series 7 66 licenses. Thank you so much for reaching out, and I am glad you did because I have been wanting to touch base and first of all express my appreciation for everything you did to transform my entire approach to the job search.      From day one when we first connected and you sent me the Resume Prep document that required hours of digging deep into what I  had really accomplished the past 4-5 years, it was then when my job search did a complete 180. Going away from what every average job applicant my age was doing, and believing in your approach as well as the entire mindset to take going into potential interviews was a complete game changer.     Every single interview I received whether it was over the phone or in person, at some point during the process the interviewee said when they saw my resume they loved the way it jumped out and wasnt an avalanche of facts or statements, but rather a short story about myself leading up to the situation I am in today. There is no doubt in my mind that without your help I would not have received the job opportunities that I did.     Now, I dont want to give you a massive email so I will cut it short here but Id love to share with you my success story and how unique of a situation it was in how I landed the job at TD Ameritrade. It is certainly a great success story emphasizing how persistence can truly pay off. Id be happy to shoot you an email with more details about it all or if you have a few minutes some point this week I could shoot you a call. Whatever works for you.I hope all is well Jacqui! Talk to you soon.-John  Wilson Investment / Finance Professional________________________________________ **UPDATE** from Gina M. Kiefer [Original email testimonial March 22, 2013, below]April 17, 2013Hi Jacqui,Thank you for bringing my experience alive. I landed my first contract and it took weeks vs months or longer to happen. I love the roles that came my way were perfectly aligned with my directions. Just wanted to send a note saying that I appreciate all you have done.Thank you,Gina_________________________March 22, 2013Good morning, Jacqui,I love my Executive Summary!  The entire package is working out very well and Im getting interviews. For the first time in my career, companies are reaching out to me as well. I have a few interviews in progress and the roles are exactly what I would like to do.A company that searched me out said my resume contained descriptions so clear that they could see before speaking to me that I was a perfect fit.Thank you for taking excellent care in my profile. Tooting my horn is not easy and the resume makes it natural. Developing my profile with you was a very kind thing to do for myself.Thank you,Gina M. Kiefer Global Business Analyst________________________________________December 21, 2012Hi Jacqui,Great news! I was offered and accepted the position at Cars.com. Ive attached the description below so you can get a glimpse I think its a nice transition job for me and could turn out to be much more in the future. I think my new boss is very cool and seems to care about his people and the overall company culture feels that way as well. Ironically, I a lso just got contacted from Amazon for a position in Seattle I had put my resume on their HR site.I had the skills and passion and combined with your expertise, it created a resume that highlighted facts that mattered most for jobs I was targeting. I must say your process, while demanding up-front, not only prepared me well for talking to prospectives about my stories and key leadership points but it also gave me great confidence and reminded me of the value that I bring to potential employers.So, while other writers may be equally experienced, its the process of working with you and the questions you ask (the dialogue) that crafted such a valuable final product. Im very happy that we connected and have recommended you to others already.I hope all is well and you enjoy your holidays!!Senior Leader | Operational Strategy [name withheld for confidentiality purposes]________________________________________November 26, 2012I had no idea who Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter was when I gave her a call to discuss helping with my resume other than a name, phone number and an appealing advertisement.However, within the first 10 minutes of our phone call I knew I had made the right choice. Jacquis top of the ladder professionalism, uncanny ability to connect with my goals, and her friendly and inviting voice left me feeling excited about working with her and completing a resume that needed her special touch.Jacquis homework assignment to provide her with the information she needed was thorough and tremendously helpful with jogging my memory. It came with an unexpected surprise of additionally preparing me for my interviews as I completed the form.I also employed Jacqui to help with introductory letters, thank you letters and Linkedin. Another wise choice on my part!There were no disappointments, and I have to say some very unexpected WOWS! If you are going back and forth on whether to utilize someone to help you with todays new and improved resume, etc., dont ponder any longe r.Call Jacqui and I am confident you will feel like I did Thank goodness I made the phone call and why did I wait so long to decide I needed help!Ellen Walker Senior Leader and Strategist ________________________________________May 2, 2012Jacqui has been my preferred provider for resume preparation services for more than 7 years. She has assisted many executives at my companies who have not kept their resumes up to date as they have progressed in their careers, and she has provided guidance on my own resume.Jacquis process is at least as if not more valuable than the resume product itself. She has intuitive insight into her clients and a keen eye for corporate requirements. She is a gem.Louise Korver Senior Executive________________________________________Feb. 3, 2012How well the resume was received! The comments  during the interview process  have been very positive  and complimentary, in that the resume differentiated me.The investment was money well spent  which has led to my new position.  I can personally recommend and endorse the quality and professionalism of Jacqui’s work.Stephen Ralph Senior Director of Market Development Healthcare Industry San Diego, CA________________________________________September 1, 2011Hey Jacqui!Guess what? I GOT A JOB!!! I start Tuesday as an instructional assistant in a preschool class for autistic kids. I will be making more money, working less hours, and receive full health benefits and retirement.I just got the resume from you less than a week ago! Thats gotta be some kind of record, considering I didnt even have any leads.I had my doubts about spending so much money on something so uncertain, but now I have no regrets.Thank you so much again! : )A. Visco________________________________________April 6, 2011 (Follow-up to March 7, 2011 testimonial)Jacqui,I accepted the offer from Galderma Laboratories this past Friday. I resigned from Sysco today. It is all so good. Galderma is a specialty, niche pharmaceutical sales job calling on Dermatologists.  I will be selling Epiduo and Differen .3.Wonderful opportunity.Everyone at Sysco is so happy for me; my resignation went great. I got a hug and the personal validation about what a wonderful opportunity it is.  So I got their blessing.  After almost 9 years (in Oct), I really appreciate that support from my team and Sysco family.I start April 18!  My recruiter found my resume that you did for me on CareerBuilder.Interviews went awesome! I interviewed with both Goetze Dental as well as Galderma all of March, which was taxing. I then had my moment of pure certainty, which felt so great!Take care, Chris Goetzheimer Accomplished Sales Professional Targeting: Medical Device and Pharmaceutical Sales Roles________________________________________March 24, 2011Jacqui:I just wanted to take a moment and make you aware of how well received my resume was  during my efforts to find a position. I have always approached my job search with a professional resume, but the work you collectively and collaboratively demanded and then transposed was of a much higher caliber and my hit rate for initial interviews greatly improved.More validating for me was the response from both HR and independent recruiters; superbly done, loved the format, I would change nothing  and I really admire its unique nature, were just some of the comments I received. In addition I felt the branding image and genuine stories within the document  kept me fresh and added cohesion  during the interview process, thus making me a better interviewee.Thanks again for all your expertise and efforts!Rob PolichSenior Sales Management Leader________________________________________March 7, 2011Jacqui, I wanted to tell you, I got an email from T.H. from a recruiting company.  It was about a niche pharma sales position in dermatology. I passed his screen and did some revisions to my resume. He wants to represent me to the company.  I have a phone screen sometime this week with the co mpany directly.THEN Out of the blue, a dental company called me. Turns out they just never hired ANYONE last spring.  So, I am going to speak with them Tuesday at 10 a.m.T.H. wanted me to prepare by employing the STAR method, which is the same thing as your process from our worksheet. I was so thankful to have my document saved, all the stories and thoughts. I was reviewing it this weekend, as my interview prep has gone to almost obsession levels.  I want to kill it, and finally make the career move of a lifetime.Your process is helping me prepare. I just wanted you to know how much I am thankful for this. What a difference it makesthe process, I meanit is total preparation, so you dont have to scramble thinking up all these stories. I have super high expectations for myself and my career, and these examples and the way the info is organized is solid.I did not start to feel as confident as I do now, until I reviewed what work we did.  It reminded me of what I am capable of and hav e produced. Now, I am not nervous for the interview, I am SO EXCITED to shine.Thank you a bunch!!! Chris Goetzheimer Accomplished Sales Professional Targeting: Medical Device and Pharmaceutical Sales Roles________________________________________Dec. 29, 2010Ways Your Resume can Influence Your FutureAs a teacher I knew the value of using a professional to help with things I could do but others could do better. I decided that Jacqui would be the best fit for preparing my resume as I looked to work in a different field. Little did I know the role she would play in my future.My new position was to start my own company with a partner in Colorado. My resume was still important for meeting funders, opening doors and “looking good” on paper. One technologist refused to meet with me at all until I sent him my resume (in fairness he did send me his). Whatever magic Jacqui put in that resume really worked because we had our first meeting August 4th and got married on Nov 22nd. Ten years la ter we still chuckle at the value of a resume!Thank you Jacqui.Catherine MorrisonEducated Matters TM ________________________________________Within the first week of having finalized her resume, Bambi shared this good news:November 3, 2010Jacqui,I have already received two offers for interviews in 1 day!!Bambi Zinman Business Systems Analyst ________________________________________May 26, 2010Hi Jacqui:I just wanted to let you know that I start a contract position on Tuesday, and I submitted my resume the one you did for the job.Its a double celebration this weekend.

And, thank you for the referral!!Shelly Shelly Goldman, CEIP, CPCC, CCM, Certified Imago Workshop Educator Career Strategist / Author / Lecturer Career Management for Excellence Washington, DC Metro The Goldman Group Advantage.com http://thegoldmangroupadvantage.com ________________________________________September 27, 2009Hi Jacqui,Im not sure if you remember me, but back in late 2007 (I think) I used your services to write a formal resume for me a s I sought my first job as a fire chief.It wasnt an easy prospect. While I had an undergraduate degree, I had limited experience as a fire department officer and I was very young to be trying to getting such a position.I was worried about spending so much money on a simple resume, but once I started sending your finished product out, I began getting return phone calls and interviews.It still didnt happen immediately. I ended up applying at over 30 fire departments and was disappointed more than once to be a finalist for a job only to lose out to someone with much more experience.In March of 2009, I finally landed my dream job, and Im certain it was in no small part due to your help. I beat out over 40 applicants from around the country for a job as a fire chief of a large Mid-West fire department.I even beat out guys that had 20 years experience as fire chiefs, and myself not even 40 years old yet.A big part of it was the fact that my resume really stood out from the crowd.Thanks ag ain for your services and the part you had in getting me where I wanted to be in my career!Sincerely, Nick Swinhart, BSHS, Lic-P Fire Chief ________________________________________September 8, 2009Hi Jacqui:I am so delighted to share with you that our mutual client sent his resume out to a firm that had a technical spot available.He received an immediate response and we are prepping today for his interview tomorrow. I am certain, your strongly crafted resume got our client the interview!!Thanks, again, Jacqui for all you do!!ShellyShelly Goldman, CEIP, CPCC, CCM Certified Imago Workshop Educator Career Strategist / Author / LecturerPresident The Goldman Group Advantage The Goldman Group Advantage.com http://thegoldmangroupadvantage.com Author Insiders Guide to Finding a Job Co-authored with Wendy Enelow.

I have had nothing but a steady stream of replies.I think the work you do, the process and the results are well worth every penny ??Altan Khendup Senior Technology Leader ________________________________________April 21, 2009Jacqui,Sorry have not written-busy getting ready for the big move to Raleigh-have 6 jobs there to interview for!! Resumes working!Mary Pat Whaley Healthcare Management Executive ________________________________________September 16, 2008Jacqui,You did such a great job on my resume I have told several people about your services.FYI I ended up at Pegasystems as an Engagement Leader. Pega is out of Boston, but I can still live in KC. I was told my resume was the best they had seen in along time!Thanks again,John Wilson Executive: Process Re-engineer / Business Architect / Consultant ________________________________________July 14, 2008Jacqui:My investment in your service was worth every penny as it allowed me to fast-forward highlighting wh at I am capable of contributing.After 10 months of conducting my search (and staying with my current employer) using my newly created resume, I have landed an outstanding position. The resume that you created for me was designed to highlight the quality of the accomplishments I have experienced in my business career and downplay the number of positions I have held.The smart executive understands his/her role as a free agent â€" a need to be nimble and responsive to the needs of progressive companies looking for high achievers and best performers(versus clutching on to a lifetime career at a single company, an ideal of the past). The smart company appreciates the modern executives strategic and agile approach to designing a career and value proposition story that matches to corporate needs, one that requires a diversity of experiences and key contributor and leadership roles that advanced him up the career ladder and positioned him to solve the needs and contemporary problems within an ever-shifting global market-place.Thats what you helped create for me, a story about what I contributed in my various roles and how I opted to become a free agent when my role did not meet my needs as an individual. In fact, when speaking with the CEO of my new opportunity his only comment about my work history was not about how many, but rather it really looks like you have held some very important positions, much like we need in our company.Jacqui, thank you again.Dave Gray ________________________________________February 17, 2008Jacqui,As a quick update, I left Comcast in June and received 4 job offers within a 6 week period. I accepted a position with ADT Security as the Area VP / General Manager for the Mid-Atlantic.My family will be moving to Northern Virginia the end of March.I am extremely happy and know that the work you performed was a major factor in my success.Larry Goldman Area VP / General Manager ________________________________________February 6, 2008Jacqui,I just wanted to let you know that I received my letter of acceptance from OUHSC (University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center) yesterday to begin Physician Associate school in June.Thank you so much for the professional resume you created for me.

They did ask me a few behavioral questions we went over [during our interview coaching session].Dan B. ________________________________________January 2005Hi Jacqui,I must commend you on your superior work, creativity and effectiveness. I found your range of skills and in-depth preparation of executive-level resumes and other powerful support materials to be off the charts.Additionally, your professional credentials and interpersonal qualities are unique and superbly first-rate. Your ability to package and present me in an exclusive manner distinctly set me apart in a very competitive job market.I landed an outstanding VP of Sales position in just three months.

The quality and style were of pure professionalism, and not to mention the wording and arrangement were perfect. Once I received the first draft, I hardly had to make any changes. I forwarded it onto a relative, and she showed it to some people at the law firm she works at.Here was what she said:Julie, our HR Director, said this is awesome. She said that the Technical Summary is the first thing that you notice, and that is what most HR people look for at first glance with a resume. I have asked Heather (Executive Director) also, and she thinks this is one of the best resumes she has ever seen. She also said that if you want to use her as a reference, she would be glad to give you a good one.I hope everyone has better results (even) than I did!

Help! I am Terrible at Taking Baby Steps!

Help! I am Terrible at Taking Baby Steps! There is an old saying that goes something like “You have to walk before you can run.”  I’m not sure about other parents out there but with my kids did not adhere to this advice.  It was straight from crawling to running (sometimes too fast for their own good which I’m sure is where the phrase comes from).    I guess when I look at things maybe “The apple doesn’t fall from the tree.” (to use another phrase just for fun). I am not great at walking.  I am not great at baby steps… in life or at work.  In Talent Brand, this can be a problem. There is definitely a fine line and a balance that is needed. On the one hand, you are the new player on the team.  The marketing and creative departments might have a little bit of a feeling that you are invading their space.  The recruiting team may wonder about some of your tactics as they are a bit of a game changer and might ‘take over their job.’ On the other hand, being the new player requires to ‘push the envelope.’  Your role is not to implement a specific brand but to educate, convince, and cheerlead the way the talent brand should be bought into by the whole company. The true success of the company depends on how much importance/respect (gained by trust) the leaders of the company give to Talent Brand.  We live in an experience economy. The employment and talent brand experience is the glue that holds it all together (product, company, brand, customer, and employee experiences). To do this you cannot just ‘lay low’ and do things the way they have always been done. These are things I have experienced in very diverse companies and are probably the number one concern I hear when speaking at conferences about Employment Brand.  I’m not perfect at taking on these challenges, but I would like to try to offer some advice from what I’ve learned so far in this adventure. Don’t freak out it’s nothing personal! Change is hard… for them and us!  In the past Marketing/Creative have always owned anything representing the company externally.  Let’s face it… in recruiting there were our phone calls, job descriptions, and interviews but those weren’t really respected as actually impacting external perception.  All of a sudden we are not only ‘owning’ external (and I would add internal employee) perception but we are taking action on it and trying to create a positive impact. In other words… we are not just owning the Glassdoor page and taking that off their plate… we are going out there and pulling people in where the brand has never had a presence before. We are causing ‘heads to turn.’  That is a tough thing to ‘let go of’ or not overshadow.  Historically it’s been pretty easy to own and maintain what the outside world thinks of us.  Marketing/Creative ‘had control’ of it. Social, employment brand and brand ambassadors have caused mass confusion and frustration that they are no longer in control of anything.  Recently I was reading through Disruptive Marketing by Geoffrey Colon and, although I don’t agree with every detail he says about it, the section on the ‘losing control’ makes perfect sense and put a lot of things into perspective for me. I recently had a real-life situation play out that included this ‘lack of control’ panic from the marketing team.  At first, I was livid! I just wanted one victory that I could smile at… celebrate with a glass of wine… and feel good about! Although the company and CEO were totally pumped about my effort (I’m talking high-fives and fist bumps in an all-hands meeting walking back to my seat) the marketing department came crashing down.  To top it off… it was nothing that was even in my control but I was blamed for it on an assumption that I authored it. Like I said… at first, I was totally upset that it ‘ruined’ my ‘moment’ but then I realized… this is not about me!  As soon as that hit I knew I just had to figure out a way that proved we were both in it for the good of the company (and collaborate on the ‘control issue’.  All in all, I was still able to ‘bask in the glory’ while realizing it was nothing personal and more just a ‘growing pain’ in acceptance of change. Show them the benefits of you walking on your own! Give them something that means something to THEM! Traffic… company brand attention… give them or let them take credit!  I know it sounds cheesy and something that you shouldn’t have to do but let’s be serious ‘bribing by fame and fortune’ isn’t just for the kids. We all know that Talent Brand isn’t just beneficial to recruiting.  Employers that take care of their Talent Brand are 31% more likely to have engagement from customers.  Customers/leads like to work with companies that are represented by real, live people that are happy with their employer.  They emotionally connect in a positive way and eventually gain trust faster because of it. We all know this… so let’s show them what we are bringing them (even if they think it was all their doing… deep down… they know). A couple of examples: Show the Google Analytic trends after launching your career or ‘life’ channels show them the traffic wasn’t just for jobs! Give credit to the ‘volunteer’ army of marketing and recruiting working together in a public forum (it’s hard to ignore or disrespect when someone pays you respect in front of the CEO) Get the big social channels ranked on an award list Taking 5 baby steps + learning balance = a BIG step! Remember how we decided at the beginning of this article that the phrase came from somewhere?  From the point that kids start running too fast for their own good? I can remember when my now 10-year-old learned to walk/run.  The first thing he did was to run right into the corner of a wall! The biggest purple/blue vein and bump formed on his head! Many of us are literally in a place where we ‘don’t want to run our head into the wall.’  I’ve concluded that taking 5 baby steps might not be easy for me but when I learn to do that (without gripping) and also balance or ‘play the game’ I gain…. A BIG STEP!!! AND it isn’t that hard when I do it without gripping.  I figured out that I was the one to blame for getting the ‘bump on the head.’ If I learn to play the game and take the baby steps the next time, I can take a ½ BIG step without causing headaches. Prove that your learning to walk moves everyone forward! Use metrics! The minute I’ve been able to prove that being present in social with our employee life and as people through our brand ambassadors increases morale in the company and traffic for the company… everything was ‘ok.’  The trick here is to actually PROVE IT! This can be done in many ways… Option 1: Google Analytics… In the two charts above I could show overall website traffic.  In the top one, the spike was THE DAY we released an article about Employee Experience at our company and highlighted many stories of specific employees and their adventures… If that wasn’t enough the chart below that was the week we released our employee advocacy tool and on Monday and Thursday were specific articles about life as an employee at our company. Option 2: Get feedback… From candidate… Questions like: What was the turning point? What did you research the most? I’ve done these and I can show that employee stories about real life and researching by networking and word of mouth were the answers of majority every time! Get feedback… From your employees!  I think this is so important and we forget about it… track the links you are giving them as options to feed out to their network.  You will figure out really soon which articles resonate with them. Last, and not least, ASK THEM! Recently I launched our ‘Life’ channels and blog with employee stories.  Since I announced it at an all-hands meeting I rarely have a day go by where someone doesn’t catch me to tell me ‘their why’. Employees WANT to tell their story. We all want to have an impact in what we do every day and for most of us, it includes making a difference in others lives in learning from us!  We just have to offer a venue and a format that makes it easy for employees to share (Example: I have 10 questions I send them and have them pick 2-3 to answer). If they are answering them… their feedback is THIS IS WORKING! Again… I am terrible at taking baby steps however it is imperative to move employment brand forward and for the success of our companies. I’m working on… Not taking things personally Showing the benefits of walking before running Taking 5 baby steps and gaining balance (play the game) Showcasing data that moves everyone forward!   We are living in an experience economy.  We ‘sell’ experiences. We have got to get this right and take the baby steps to gain trust and respect in our companies.  I love to run marathons but let’s face it. I need to walk just a few steps in the middle of it. This is not a sprint… this is a marathon, and I’m learning to walk before I run!

Safe Travels 5 Tips For Driving In New Places

Safe Travels 5 Tips For Driving In New Places Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, it’s exciting to see new parts of the country â€" but when you’re behind the wheel on unfamiliar roads, danger is around every corner. While at home you know where every stop sign is and how the road acts in bad weather conditions, new terrain presents unforeseen risks and can lead drivers to make mistakes. When traveling in unfamiliar areas, then, beware of these five common missteps. It’s easy to let your new environment challenge your driving skills, but by preparing yourself, you can remain in control. Research Your Rental If you fly into your destination and don’t have your own car, it’s important to choose the right rental for your new environment, so do your homework before you sign the contract. When driving in an urban area, for example, you may not want to drive a larger car that will make it hard to maneuver through small spaces, while in rural areas it can help to have four-wheel drive and a car that can handle tough road conditions. Check the weather and your routes and ask the rental provider what they recommend for your travels; they likely know the area well. Dodge Every Distraction Distracted driving is a leading cause of car accidents, and when driving in unfamiliar areas, you’re far more likely to take your eyes off the road. Maybe you’re checking the GPS or texting someone at your destination for an update. Whatever’s caught your attention isn’t as important as your safety, though, so make sure you stay focused. If you struggle to put your phone away while driving, consider using an app that makes it inaccessible while in motion and choose a car that has built-in GPS. Leave Extra Time Running late can lead to excessive risk-taking on the road, and when you’re driving in an unfamiliar city, it’s easy to get lost and wind up behind schedule â€" that’s why it’s so important to leave extra time in your schedule. Schedule events further apart than you might at home and leave your hotel earlier than necessary to be on time. Cities are infamous for their unpredictable traffic, while you may find yourself stuck behind a tractor on rural roads. Regardless of your location, you can’t allow timing to cause extra stress. Know The Local Laws Every city and town has its own quirks when it comes to the rules of the road, so before you travel to a new city, it’s important to look into some common differences. For example, can you turn right on red in your destination? In New York City, drivers aren’t permitted to turn right on red at the majority of intersections, while most other cities allow such turns unless otherwise marked. And, when in doubt, take the more cautious approach. Always drive in the right lane and follow other drivers’ cues. Other drivers may honk at you occasionally, but just stay calm. Beware Blind Drives And Wildlife Most business travel won’t take you to rural areas, but in the event that you find yourself in a small town or passing through a thinly populated area, it’s important to stay alert. Look out for “blind” drives â€" driveways where exiting drivers can’t easily see oncoming traffic, as well as any wildlife. One of the worst things you can do when driving in a rural area is to get into a collision with a deer or moose, and using your lights isn’t enough. If you’re in a wooded area at night, consider driving slightly below the speed limit so that you can stop easily if an animal crosses your path. Driving in unfamiliar areas is stressful, but if you undertake it cautiously, it doesn’t have to be dangerous. The key is to be prepared and to drive cautiously, and if all else fails, grab an Uber or hop on the bus. It may not be as convenient, but it’s better to be safe than sorry when you’re on the road.

Resume Dos and Donts - VocationVillage

Resume Dos and Donts - VocationVillage If you follow this checklist of Resume Dos and Donts, you will be following the resume preferences of a large majority of hiring managers and recruiters. I know this because I frequently talk to them and I constantly assess how they decide which job applicants to invite to interviews. I have also been a hiring manager and recruiter myself so I have screened hundreds of resumes.Note that these Resume Dos and Donts are specific to the United States. Other countries are likely to have different workplace norms.Resume DosDO decide on a clear career focus. If your resume seems scattered or overly generalist, you are doing yourself a disservice because hiring managers will likely rule you out for everything.DO communicate your career focus by including a Career Summary or Profile Summary section at the top of your resume. This section should clearly communicate what type of professional you are and what you have to offer. (See the examples farther down the page for how this looks).DO pursu e positions for which you are clearly qualified. If you dont meet 80% or more of a jobs required qualifications, either focus your job search on networking (because then connections may trump career history) OR do some things (education, professional organization membership, volunteer work, etc.) to increase your marketability before launching a job search.DO include your city, state, phone number, and email address. It is fine to omit a street address because of identity theft concerns.DO use a font like Helvetica or Calibri in 10 or 12 point size.DO use a professional email address, preferably something simple like your name: iam. By professional, I dont mean something like opik or insm.DO quantify your accomplishments whenever possible. If you say you increased customer satisfaction, a hiring manager is likely to wonder, How do you know? My favorite way to quantify accomplishments is described by Laszlo Bock, Googles Senior Vice President of People Operations. He is in charge of all Googles hiring and hires 100 people per week. Bock says the best way to describe accomplishments is to write, Accomplished X, relative to Y, by doing Z. For example, instead of writing, Wrote editorials for The New York Times, Bock recommends to write, Had 50 op-eds published compared to average of 6 by most op-ed [writers]. (Source: BusinessInsider.com.)DO vary your action verbs and use more powerful words than, Responsibilities included, or, Duties were… From The Muse, heres a good list of action verbs for resumes.DO use formatting aids like headers and bullets to break up the text for readability. (But make a plain text version, too, if you plan to copy and paste this material into online applications you dont want formatting characters to look ugly if an employer is viewing the end result).DO try to limit your resume to one page or two at the most if you are highly experienced. Three starts to look more like a CV, which is only appropriate for academic or research science jobs.DO describe your previous companies if they are not well-known organizations. For example, if you worked for a small human resource management consulting company called Henderson and Co., you could write in the accomplishments section, For this boutique human resource consulting company specializing in benefits and retention, managed four client accountsDO include hobbies and community service. Heres a good instruction guide from ResumeLab about how to do this.DO convert your resume to a PDF file if you are going to email it to a hiring manager. On a Mac, you can print to PDF. If you are on a different type of platform, you can use a free online resource like FreePDFConvert.com or PDFConverter. However, if you are sending your resume to a recruiter or a company that uses an applicant tracking system, send a Word document instead. Many types of recruiting software dont read PDF documents as well as they read Word documents, and recruiters want to be able to take notes on the do cument and potentially edit it for submittals.DO write a cover letter to send with your resume. You never know if a particular recruiter ignores or loves cover letters, so why take a chance by neglecting to send one?DO invest in a professional resume writer if creating a resume is something you dread or if you know that you will have difficulty completing the task well.DO consider including your middle initial on your name. (See research about why).Resume DontsDONT use a Microsoft Word resume template unless you resolve any potential formatting problems. Kristen Fife, a Seattle area recruiter and resume writer says, The resume templates you find in Word tend to waste a lot of valuable white space, but even more frustrating is the fact that many Applicant Tracking Systems translate documents into .txt files, and the template formatting can make a resume virtually unreadable because of the embedded coding within the document.DONT lie or grossly exaggerate your accomplishments. Tell th e truth.DONT try to use a one size fits all resume. You will increase your odds of a successful job search by tailoring your resume for particular jobs.DONT use personal pronouns like I or refer yourself in the third person (Mr. Becker is an experienced manager.). Both of these things irritate hiring managers and recruiters.DONT choose fluffy adjectives or phrases like great with people or dynamic executive. Prove your characteristics with measurable accomplishments.DONT list everything you have ever done no matter how irrelevant to the job you are pursuing. Focus your resume by including content that helps market you for the specific position for which you are using this resume.DONT write a functional resume unless you have very, very carefully thought about your reasons for doing so and you still think it is a good idea. Most hiring managers and recruiters hate functional resumes. See: Beware the Functional Resume. (Tip: A combination resume accomplishes the same things a function al resume might but without the pitfalls.)DONT list information about religion, politics, or social causes unless you using this information to screen for employers who are a good match for your specific affiliations and causes.DONT reveal personal data such as a photo, height, weight, ethnicity, marital status, health status, etc. Some of this data can expose employers to legal liability because of U.S. EEO law, and even for information that isnt illegal to include (such as height or weight), hiring managers dont expect to see these characteristics on resumes.DONT list references on your resume or use valuable space to say, References available on request. You can submit references on a separate page once you are asked for them.DONT send your resume until several colleagues and friends have proofed it for grammatical and spelling errors. Try to choose people for whom writing is a strength.DONT let this list of Resume Dos and Donts cause you stress! It may take some time to learn th e Resume Dos and Donts preferred by hiring decision-makers, but the payoff is that by learning these guidelines, you are much more likely to land a job sooner and you can then turn your attention to more rewarding endeavors than job searching, like enjoying your new job!CASE STUDY: One frustrated job seeker wrote to me because her resume wasnt succeeding in landing job interviews for her. She was trying to use her resume to facilitate a career change but it wasnt working well. I interviewed a panel of industry and employment experts to obtain advice for her. Read what they had to say about resume writing for career change. .

For a Successful Job Search - Avoid a Busy Resume

For a Successful Job Search - Avoid a Busy Resume A resume is ultimately a tool to cut down on the time employers have to spend on job-hunters. Or putting it another way, a resume is a way to cut out job candidates from the employment process.A job seeker on the other hand, tends to see the resume as that piece of paper that summarises everything that they have done, so they can cast a wide net when looking for a new job.evalUnfortunately this approach of throwing in everything, results in a busy and unfocused resume, which will see you relegated to the rejection pile.If you want your resume to be successful, it needs to be very focussed and you need to avoid a busy resume.1. Avoid long lists of key skillsevalSo many resumes I’ve viewed over the years have extensive and very busy looking key skills lists. There is a prevailing myth that you need to stuff your resume with a ton of keywords, so you can beat the robots Solution: To ensure that your resume is focused, eliminate all courses that are not relevant to the job you are appl ying for.For example, if you have First Aid Certificate listed on your resume and you are going for a mid-tier management role in IT, you can safely bet that this certificate won’t be adding any value at all, so remove it.3. Eliminate a mishmash of jobsIf your career to date is composed of unconnected jobs, inconsequential jobs, or you have been a temporary worker and was assigned to dozens of corporations, you need to avoid the busy look and make sure the content is highly focussed.Excess jobs, or less relevant experience is one the key reasons your resume will look busy and unfocused.Solution:evalIf you have several temporary positions spanning a length of time, lump them under one heading; avoid repetition of duties and responsibilities; provide a brief overview and then focus on key achievements.If you have several jobs from years ago that are unrelated to your present career ambitions, remove them.If you have a mix between relevant and irrelevant jobs, you can create a headin g ‘Relevant Work Experience’ and then focus on highlighting your achievements.With the less relevant jobs, keep the content tight and only focus on transferable skills.4. If it does not add value, Remove ItSome resumes turn into confessionals, where everything is included from volunteer work from the late 1990, music tastes, why someone left a job, through to marital status.Solution: To focus your resume and make sure it does not look busy, ask yourself the following question:Does this information add value and relate to the job in questions?If it doesn’t, take it out â€" it does not belong in your resume.

LinkedIn and Random Hooking Up

LinkedIn and Random Hooking Up I received a LinkedIn invitation today that read: John Doe (not his real name) has indicated you are a colleague from Pfizer Corporation (not his real company). Heres the problem. I dont know John Doe and I never worked for Pfizer. John Doe is gaming the system to send an invite.But how is this an attractive offer? I dont know this person and his strategy for getting to me is sneaky and a little bit creepy. How is this a sound strategy for gaining an introduction? Its like  Arnold Schwarzenegger hitting on Mary Murphys makeup artist in the elevator or  Anthony Weiner sending his @ messages on Twitter where they dont belong.Its not like Im that hard to find. Google me. Youll find me and all my contact information. And then you can send me a note that explains why you think we should connect. I dont bite. Im happy to connect if you explain your intentions. But once you select a method for connecting with me that is underhanded you lose credibility in my eyes and Im not so sure I want to know you.
