Bringing Out The Real You In Your Resume

There's a widespread frustration held by business executives that their resumes' cannot adequately describe "the real me." I've challenged this notion with the following comments and suggestions: I'm pleased to read how many executives are put off by the idea that they might be encapsulated on a single piece of paper (or two or three). But couldn't the same argument be made for the interview: that 2 hours sitting alone with someone in a room just isn't enough time to truly get to know a person?

So What's Your Story?

Some people are natural storytellers. They describe events and circumstances in a way that captures attention, compels interest, and engages listeners. Storytellers are a direct contrast with those who use language solely for targeted and factual communications. In interviews and professional networking, the storyteller has a distinct advantage - the ability to engage and interest people who can open doors and present opportunities.

ASCII Resumes: An Essential Ingredient to Today's Job Search

ASCII (pronounced ask-ee) stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. So what's that mean? Computers can only read numbers. Technically speaking, ASCII is a numerical representation of the letters, digits, punctuation marks, and other symbols used in conversational English. It was created in 1968 to allow data processors to "talk" to each other and, although it's been upgraded, ASCII continues to be the "alphabet" almost all computers use to communicate.

No Second First Impression

As the saying goes, "you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression." People tend to form judgments based on what they see and hear during the first few seconds. Extended contact may modify their initial judgment but probably won't change it significantly. In terms of job or career changes, this means you need to consider carefully how you present yourself. Clients typically think of this in relation to interviews, which is certainly important, but waiting until then to focus on it would be a big mistake.

Top Ten Excuses Why People Don't Network

I don't want to ask for a favor. Many people think that when you network you are asking someone for a job. But this is not the goal of networking. When you network, you never ask for a job.

While it is true that not everyone will agree to meet with you, many people will extend help to you and you have nothing to loose by asking.

Why the Resume is an Endangered Species

As a professional resume writer, I don't like to admit this, but the resume is going the way of gray suit, the fax machine, and the generous pension plan. No, the resume isn't in danger of immediate extinction. But it is certainly endangered. Resumes are a relic of a traditional employment recruiting process in which employers needed a standard way of comparing numerous prospects for open job positions sight unseen. By reviewing a short summary of qualifications and work history, employers could weed out the unqualified candidates and find the most qualified ones.
