Creating and Selling Resume Awards

Creating and Selling Resume AwardsA lot of people think about writing resume awards as a job writing exercise. Many find the concept helpful but many others think the concept is a waste of time and money.The concept of writing resume awards starts with the notion that resumes are more than just a job description. They could also be viewed as an education, a person's wisdom and knowledge that the person possesses. There are many ways to demonstrate a candidate's achievements.The most important piece of writing is the resume. There are many different types of resumes that include the chronological, the functional, the effective and the necessary. In most cases, the candidate who receives a job is the one who comes up with the resume. It is not the other way around.The writing of resume awards is a combination of the two. The document has to come from the applicant and the presentation and editing has to come from the applicant's perspective. While submitting the resume, the applicant s hould be focused on what they will put in the resume.Writing resume awards can be done in a lot of different ways. These include the posting of a resume online or sending it via email. Both methods have their pros and cons.One of the main disadvantages of the online method is that it requires that the applicant spend a lot of time on checking and re-checking. The applicant has to consider their application from one day to the next. However, some employers may consider that hiring an applicant who does not check the documents to some degree might affect the way that they can handle the application.Some successful candidates also make the mistake of posting a resume online as a way of trying to get a job. This is not recommended since the employer might notice these minor mistakes that have been made in the document.

Interview Mistakes Lying, Unprepared, Vague Answers

Interview Mistakes Lying, Unprepared, Vague Answers The purpose of interviewing is pretty straightforward: the company wants to see if you’re a good fit for the job, and you want to see if you’ll be happy and productive at the company. But, the interview process is often overwhelming and stressful for many candidates. All that pressure can lead to interview mistakes. Here are a few of the common ones people make, what you can do to avoid them. 1. Thinking you’re under the microscope. Well, maybe you are, but understand that it’s a two-way street. While the interviewer wants to assess whether you’re a good a fit and likely to do the job well, you also have the opportunity to assess the company to see if it’s a good place for you. So don’t get desperate or overzealous and give answers that you think they would want to hear. 2. Camouflaging your strength into a weakness. The intention of the question about your strengths and weaknesses is not to laud you for your awesomeness. They’re not waiting to hear that you’re obsessed with work. They want to know how if you’re aware of your weaknesses and what you’ve done to address your shortcomings. So, don’t just turn strengths into your weakness. “I can’t go back home with an unfinished project” is not a weakness. Your interviewer has been in your seat before, so they know the trick you’re playing. Be honest and also share what you’re doing/have done to overcome your weakness. Be sure not to share a weakness that you cannot afford to have on the job. “I lack attention to detail” is not a weakness you should name while interviewing for a data analyst job. 3. Giving generic/philosophical answers to questions. When asked, “How do you work in a team environment?,” one candidate I interviewed replied, “I believe all of us have our own personality. I respect that and work with them.” This is a generic and bland answer. If you give this answer, you’re not sharing anything about yourself. Every question is an opportunity to highlight a bit about yourself, to tactfully impress upon your interviewer that you are a good resource. Answer the questions with examples, set the context and let your interviewer understand how you react to situations. Use the Situation Task Action Result (STAR) approach whenever possible. 4. Applying to too many roles in the same company. If you are applying to multiple roles in the same company, and there is no real connection between one role and the other, the desperation clearly comes across. In many cases, multiple entries can be filtered out through the Applicant Tracking System and the recruiter can see that you’ve applied to a zillion jobs. If you must apply to multiple roles and the jobs you’ve applied to are interrelated, mention your interest in the cover letter and also explain the fact that you have applied to more than one role; and customize your resume to the role. 5. Not knowing the basics. The hiring manager will ask you why you want to join this company and why you’re leaving your old company. They’re also going to ask you about yourself, and your goals. These are some of the basic questions that you can be sure your interviewer is going to ask. If you are not prepared for the most common questions, haven’t done enough research about the company or the role, then you’re just wasting your and the interviewer’s time. So make sure you are prepared. 6. Lying. The problem with an exceptionally creative answer is that it can’t always clear the truth test. When the interviewer starts delving deep into a particular answer, you may not have all the answers to her questions. If she realizes that you are lying, you’ll be harming your reputation with the company and possibly blocking yourself from future opportunities. So, the best route is to be honest in your answers. If you do not have experience in a particular area, then see if you can use an example from a transferable skill. 7. Not expressing enough interest. Right from the initial phone screen, the interviewer can sense your interest level. If you’re aloof and don’t show enough interest in your interactions, they won’t want to invest in you. From your cover letter, to your phone screen, to your on-site interviews, to your follow-up communication, you need to send across the message that you are looking forward to the prospect of working for the company. Tread carefully the line between being desperate and not caring at all. Use your follow-up opportunities to explain any of your responses that may help your candidature, instead of just sending a generic “thank you.” More From PayScale: 5 Mistakes People Make When Looking for a Mentor Another Reason to Avoid Giving Your Salary History: The Gender Wage Gap This Site Will Tell You Exactly How Much Maternity Leave Your Employer Offers Close Modal DialogThis is a modal window.

8 Tips For Returning To Work After Maternity Leave

8 Tips For Returning To Work After Maternity Leave If youre anything like I welches, you try notlage to think about the end of your maternity leave. At all. But, if youre anything like me, you secretly wished you could think about your return to work in a peaceful, somewhat less terrified, healthy way. One that let you do the planning and growing you needed to, but without all the fear. Without all the worry.I dont want to think about something terrifying like returning. I want to spend all my mental energy on my amazing new baby, I thought. (And the funny thing is, I LIKED my job) Ill think about it later, I promised myself. But when thoughts about the end of my maternity leave crept in - and they inevitably did - it was Aagh Dont know how thats going to work. Im going to be a mess. Oh, to have a nice, quiet geschftszimmer with only adults around and no barf would be AWESOME right now How can I possibly leave my baby? And of course crazy things like Oh bleep. Baby is refusing to tak e a bottle. If I took him to daycare hed die, so Im never going to be able to leave his side and will never be able to go back to work Ah, the catastrophizing can get funny.But a moment cant possibly radiate fully when youre suffocating it in fear.And you want this pregnancy.this time with your babythese first few weeks back at workto let your love for your new babyradiate. To let your new life as a new family radiate. To let the new you in your career radiate. Here are 8 of my top pointers to help you make that transition back to work after leave in a way that is calm, empowered, and successful.1. Think of Another I Got This Moment. Youve done big transitions in life before. Youve had a lot on your plate before. And you made it through. Think about another time you really had a sense of I got this, even though it was a big new lesson to learn, or a big hurdle to overcome. Remind yourself of this success to help build your confidence that youcannavigate this transition back. You wil l figure this out, mama.2. Schedule Time with Your Key Stakeholders for Your First Few Weeks Back. The first time I went out on leave, I put a lot of pressure on myself to catch up on every single thing I had missed while I was gone. This drove me a crazy and didnt allow me to settle into my new life very well or to dig into new assignments as easily.My second time around, I took a much more forward-thinking approach. Toward the end of my leave, I took the time to schedule 30-60 minute meetings with each of my key stakeholders at work (direct reports, supervisors, teammates) to take place the first few weeks I was back in the office. When we met, I asked them to highlight for me what key things happened while I was out and how I could help best moving forward. Then I put my leave behind me, and charged ahead.3. Phase Back In If You Can. I greatly benefitted from the ability to phase back into work (and to phase my baby into childcare) over the first few weeks. My first week back, I worked something like 10am-3pm Monday through Wednesday, the next week, I worked 10am-4pm Monday through Thursday, and then the third week back I was back to being full time (though with work-from-home Fridays.) Even if you cant phase in, starting on a day of the week other than a Monday can help.4. Know that Baby First Only Count When YOU See Them. A lot of new parents struggle emotionally with the idea that they will miss their babys firsts when they go back to work. Im here to say, mama, thatthese firsts dont exist until YOU binnensee them. They could happen just as easily if you were in the next room, or when your baby is alone in the crib. This is a worry I lost sleep over that absolutely turned out to be a non-issue, given the extreme joy and delight I had in seeing those firsts for myself. You can also communicate with your caregiver if you want to request that they dont tell you about the firsts.5. Block Pumping Time on Your Calendar. If youre pumping, your Outlook calendar can be your best friend. While I was on leave, I blocked an entire years worth of pumping time, so that I could carve time out of my schedule that wouldnt (as easily) get stolen by others. With my first baby, I needed to pump 3 times a day (once around 10/1030am, once around lunch, and again around 330pm). With baby number 2, I had a much more ample supply of milk and only needed to pump twice a day. Having already blocked that lunch time pumping session felt like a win, though, because I got that bonus half hour back in my day.6. Build a Meeting with Your Spouse into Your Weekly Schedule. Implementing the concept of a Saturday meeting and a Saturday basket (outlined in more detail here) absolutely saved my sanity as a new working mom. Tossing all to-dos into one basket to be dealt with at the end of the week can free up your brain during the workweek to focus on your work and your baby. And scheduling a time when you and your partner can talk about the upcoming week, who is on poin t each day if baby gets sick, etc., can help you cope with the inevitable unexpected events that happen in life with a little one.7. Remember that Course Correction Is Possible. A lot of the anxiety I hear from new moms around the transition back to work after maternity leave is about thinking that any arrangement they establish has to be permanent. Remind yourself that if your childcare situation isnt working for you, you can change it. If the schedule you set for yourself isnt working upon your return, you can discuss it with your supervisor. And if the joy you are returning to isnt sustainable with baby in the long run, there are many jobs out there that are indeed family friendly. Change isnt easy but it is always possible.8. Take Care of You, Mama. I know, I know, you have no time for yourself. But giving yourself space on a daily basis to pause and take time for YOU (think micro-self care) is essential to your own mental stability. Remember that saying if mama aint happyYou go t this, mama. You got this baby thing. You got this work thing. You got this doing both thing. You may not know it yet. But you really do. Youwillget through this transition back to work, and you have a village of other mamas out there who are willing to help you through it.--Lori K.
