Blank Resume Form to Create Your Own Resume

Blank Resume Form to Create Your Own ResumeBlank Resume Form to Create Your Own ResumeWhen you are fresh out of school and looking for your first job, the process can be overwhelming. One of the most difficult aspects of job searching is putting together a good resume. A resume, a brief overview of your work experience, education, and skills, is a key document used by employers to narrow down the applicant pool. While your resume cannot get you a job, it can get you an interview an important first step in securing a position. This guide contains important aspects of resume design and tips on what to include. Contact Information While it may seem obvious, you would be amazed how many people submit beautiful resumes, but forget to include their contact information.Your resume should include your name, schmelzglas address, phone number, and a link to your online portfolioor LinkedIn page if you have one. You may want to include your physical home address on your resume, list the ci ty and state, or choose another option for including your address. Make sure your email is accurate and professional (as opposed to cutesy) if you have an address that contains mention of your hobbies or interests, create a new account with a free service like Google or Yahoo with just your name, such as Jane.Doegmail.com.If you dedicate this new email account exclusively to your career search, this will help to ensure that you dont miss emails from potential employers. Make sure that your voicemail message also sounds professional. First impressions count, and hiring managers who call the phone number on your resume will draw inferences about you from the tone of voice and language you use on your voicemail. Overview In the past, objectives have usually been included in resumes. But really, objectives in resumes are all the same everyone is trying to get a job. Objectives are also problematic because they distributions-mix too much emphasis on the needs of the job candidate as opposed to the needs of the employer the resume is targeting. Effective resumes are neither personal biographies nor statements of intent. Rather, they are marketing documents that sell your professional services to an employer by showing how your training and experience is the answer to what they are seeking in their next employee. Instead of listing personal objectives, then, make it easy for hiring managers by creating a short qualifications profile of the skills and talents you would bring to the table. It is a written form of your elevator speech, giving them a quick snapshot of who you are, what your experience is, and how your skill set meets the qualifications listed in their job announcement. A sample overview/qualifications profile for a graphic designer would state, Seasoned graphic designer with 10 years of experience in print and digital media. Proficient with InDesign, Quark, and Photoshop. Solid foundation in HTML and CSS for creating websites. Employment History The most common resume form is ordering your employment history chronologically, with the most recent experience first. You do not have to include every role you ever had if you are a seasoned manager, you do not need to include jobs you had in college or your internships. In the employment history, include your employers names, the dates you worked at each place, your job title, and your accomplishments at each workplace. Focus on achievements rather than a list of tasks. For instance, if you are in public relations, instead of saying distributed press releases, you would say, Distributed over 200 releases to 500 outlets and had a publish rate of 50 percent. Education In your education section, include any college or post-graduate work. If you have a bachelors degree or higher, there is no need for you to include the name of your high school. If you do not have a college degree, its perfectly acceptable to include where you went to high school and when you graduated. If you hav e a strong GPA (3.5 or higher), feel free to include this in the education section. If you are a recent graduate, it is also a good strategy to list significant extracurricular activities (particularly those which demonstrate leadership). These include honors society memberships, Greek organizations, and campus/community volunteer roles. The sections listed above are the key elements of a resume. Use these sections to highlight your experiences, education, and talents. By using clear categories, you can make your resume visually engaging and more appealing to hiring managers.

The Shellback Ceremony

The Shellback CeremonyThe Shellback CeremonyAre you a Pollywog or a Shellback? If you do not know the answer, perhaps you have not crossed the equator in a United States Navy vessel. There is an elaborate ceremony that takes place onboard ship and is a great morale booster and way for the crew to blow off some steam after a long deployment away from home. The Shellback Ceremony what happens?One can even find photos and videos on Facebook pages kept by various ships (such as CVN-70 (Carl Vinson)Welcome New Shellbacks). But, keeping in mind that each ship does things differently (US Navy Coast Guard ships no one becomes a Shellback on an Army Ship, and civilian ships such as cruise ships do things their own way as well) but, the basic structure of the ceremony goes something like this Traditionally, the day before the crossing, King Neptune (aka Neptunus Rex) notifies the ship either by sending his Herald aboard, or some other method such as a radio message - that he intends to exe rcise authority over his domain and to judge charges that have been brought against Pollywogs (charges such as they are only posing as sailors, or that they havent paid proper homage to the god of the sea). These days, many ships hold talent shows the night before (one of which is the Queen Competition), with the understanding that the winners will be given an easier time the following day - dancing, songs, skits, poetry recitation, as well as contests such as who can do the most push-ups or sit-ups/crunches. After the show, Pollywogs receive a subpoena from Davy Jones to stand before the court the next day and answer to charges brought against them by the Shellbacks. High ranking members of the crew and those who have been Shellbacks the longest dress up in elaborate costume and each play the part of King Neptunes court. For instance, the ships captain might play the part of King Neptune himself. Alternately, it might be the oldest shellback on board.Members of King Neptunes Royal court generally includes His Queen Her Highness Amphitrite (this is usually the winner of the previous days Queen Contest, and the only Wog in the court and the final individual to become shellback, running through everything last). Davy Jones His Majestys Royal First Assistant The Royal Baby Everyone loves to kiss a baby, right? Well, in this case, pollywogs are required to kiss the babys belly. The Royal Scribe consider him the Court Stenographer, if you will. Sometimes Davy Jones is also the Royal Scribe The Royal Doctor Oh, the potions he brings The Royal Barber One must be made presentable for the King (relax - these days its a wood razor) Depending upon the tradition of the ship, there may also be the Royal Herald, the Royal Navigator, the Royal Chaplain, the Royal Judge, Attorneys and other personages. (this is, after all, supposed to be fun). The remaining participating Shellbacks dress up as pirates (or beach bums, as it suits them), and maintain order of the pollywo gs for the duration of King Neptunes visit. After breakfast, which is made special for the Pollywogs to eat (have you ever had coffee made from sea water? Yuck), the Pollywogs get into the Uniform of the day usually wearing their clothes inside out and / or backwards - and perform a variety of activities which might involve crawling across the deck (or crawl through a tube) strewn with objectionable debris (quite often consisting of that uneatable breakfast that was served to the Pollywogs) on their way to present themselves to King Neptune. Prior to appearing before King Neptune, various members of his court may have specific tasks for various pollywogs. Such as the Royal Doctor making sure that a wog is properly treated for, say bad breath (and let me say, if he didnt have bad breath before after drinking that potion, he will). Or a visit to the Royal Barber. Next, the Pollywogs kneel before the King and kiss the royal babys belly (according to some accounts is the babys belly c overed in grease, or other condiment such as Chinese Mustard. Often, if the navel is big enough on the baby, there may be small fruit lodged in it. Then accused appears before King Neptune, who sits in judgment (or, if there is one, the Royal Judge handles most of the appearances and hands off to King Neptune the special cases) and pronounces any punishment to be handed out. Finally, the Pollywogs take a royal bath in a pool of sea water (or salt-water shower via fire hoses) before being declared Shellbacks. Comparatively, the initiation rites in todays vergammeln navies are far less stringent than of the past whereas before the events of the ceremony were meant to be physically challenging and even painful for new sailors to accomplish. Today, those challenges are strictly voluntary and are reduced for health and safety reasons. The ceremony is now seen more as entertainment, building unit cohesion and a sense of shared identity, and for morale boosting than anything else. For the curious, I became a Shellback aboard FF-1070 (Downes) on the 9th of January, 1984.

Dumbass Mistakes New Grads Make in Interviews

Dumbass Mistakes New Grads Make in InterviewsDumbass Mistakes New Grads Make in InterviewsDumbass Mistakes New Grads Make in InterviewsIn a recent CareerBuilder poll, more than 3,000 hiring managers and HR professionals were asked to identify the biggest mistakes new college graduates make during the application and interview process. Based on the percentage of respondents who gave each answer, these are the top 8 dumbass moves among new grads (notlage to mention a few other age groups...ahem).1. Acting bored or cocky (69%)This sounds familiar. We had someone interviewing at recently who seemed pretty good, but two or three people used the word cocky to describe the persons attitude. (Our managers, like those at many companies, solicit opinions from everybody who comes in contact with a job candidate, not just those in the interview room hint, hint.) If youre a new grad, its important to realize that you may have been the coolest kid on campus a few months ago, but today youre an unp roven beginner. A positive, respectful attitude is one way to set yourself apart. Confident = good. Cocky = bad.2. Not dressing appropriately (65%)Your interview attire, like your attitude, says a lot about whether youre serious about proving yourself, or just think youre entitled to the job because youre you. Your clothing should be clean, pressed, and modest. As they say in middle school, no visible boxers, bellies, or boobs.3. Coming to the interview with no knowledge of the company (59%)Theres no excuse for not researching an organization thats considering hiring you. They have a web site use it to learn what they do, who they are, what they specialize in. Google the executives names (after all, theyll be Googling you see 8, below).4. Not turning off cell phones or electronic devices (57%)Frankly, Im surprised this isnt No. 1. If you accidentally leave your phone on and it rings during the interview, dont get flustered and abflug babbling, OMG, I cant believe I did that Offer a brief, sincere apology, turn off the phone (without checking who it is), then carry on professionally as if nothing happened.5. Not asking good questions during the interview (50%)If you dont ask anything, you must not be interested. Thats what the hiring manager will assume. This is a place where you supposedly want to spend most of your waking hours for the next couple years or more. You must want to know something. Besides, there are certain questions you should always ask. 6. Asking what the pay is before the company considered them for the job (39%)Mentioning salary in a first interview is like asking your crush what s/he plans to spend on you during your relationship before youve even agreed on a second date. You have to flirt and make sure theyre attracted to you before you ask about a financial commitment. (No, not literally Thatd be a whole other dumbass move.)7. Spamming employers with the same resume and/or cover letter (23%)This guy John really, really wants to work for Company A, so he applies for every job opening Company A posts, whether hes qualified or not. Annoyed by Johns never-ending resume spam, Company As recruiters unofficially blacklist him (although if asked, theyll deny it). Dont be like John. Tailor your resume for the one or two jobs at your target company that align with your skills.8. Failure to remove unprofessional photos/content from social networking pages, Web pages, blogs, etc. (20%)Dude, you will be Googled. Employers today use every means at their disposal to uncover red flags that might foretell a bad hire. So, hide all Internet evidence of your past (and present) indiscretions.The transition from college to the real world is tough, and our mistakes are good teachers. Committing one of these eight blunders doesnt mean youre doomed, nor does avoiding them guarantee youll get the job. Butgenerally speaking, its fair to sayless dumbass leads to more job offers.

How to Hire a Copywriter

How to Hire a CopywriterHow to Hire a CopywriterThe copywriter is the poet, salesperson and closer all in one, says Natalya Spicker, branch manager of The Creative Group in Coral Gables, Fla. They must accurately display the true soul of a company in a way that inspires people to become a brand ambassador of that companys product or service.If youre trying to hire a copywriter, you likely understand the challenge of finding a candidate with the right combination of these and otherbei skills for the job.Because many firms are focusing on content optimization, especially on the digital and interactive side of the business, says Spicker, copywriters are in extremely high demand.Alex Kreutler, dieinbildung director of The Creative Group in Dublin, Ohio, adds Demand is even stronger for hybrid positions combining writing and design, like web content specialists or digital content specialists.So how do you hire the right copywriter in a competitive market? Here are some tipsDefine the role Your first step is to create a copywriter job description specifically tailored to your companys needs. The clearer you are, the better match applicants will be.Consider the projects youre hiring a copywriter to work on Does the candidate need only writing expertise, or also digital and content optimization experience?When a client is looking for a candidate with hybrid skills, such as someone to write copy, as well as design and organize content, its important to state the technical skills in the job description, says Kreutler. If a hybrid candidate is what you need, listing the specific software, like Adobe Creative Suite, that is pertinent to the position will help attract the right candidates.Kreutler adds that some clients looking for web content producers mistakenly believe that design skills always come first, thinking that most people can write, even if they arent professionally trained writers. However, writing and storytelling, just like design, are skills honed over many years, and its not always easy to find someone who feels comfortable doing both.Ultimately, a copywriter is a person who can really trigger a reaction or action based on a clever use of words, says Spicker. Hiring managers can think of a copywriter as the marketing spokesperson for the mission and vision of the companys product or service Theyre a hybrid salesperson who uses written, not spoken, words to close the deal via digital and traditional marketing and advertising.GET HIRING HELPHire a copywriter with the right expertiseFor straightforward, traditional messaging for your industry, youll likely want to hire a copywriter with experience working with your audience and product or service.But what if youre looking for huge change in tone for an advertising initiative? Consider hiring a copywriter with a non-traditional background to bring a new perspective. For example, a financial services company might hire a novelist to help create a compelling story about how their services a re appealing.If youre staffing for a digitally focused content role, you could hire a copywriter certified in Google Analytics/Adwords. Someone with agency experience should understand consumer behavior and adapt copy to increase the effectiveness of your campaigns.You want someone highly resourceful, creative and collaborative who can adapt to a clients voice easily, says Spicker. She recently placed a person she calls a copywriter powerhouse, who had written for almost every industry on the traditional and digital sides of the business.Kreutler adds that clients often look to hire copywriters with at least some Adobe Suite experience, as mentioned earlier, and knowledge of AP Style. Or they may want someone with more specific skills One of her clients was seeking a copywriter for instructional writing and needed someone with educational experience who was also familiar with medical terminology.Other hiring managers are looking for expertise speaking to a millennial audience They w ant someone who has created engaging copy with a casual tone and who is able to effectively use acronyms like FYI and BTW, or even using emojis, in the copy, says Kreutler.Take the time to consider the skill set youre seeking in a copywriter by considering the project theyll be working on. Youll waste less time interviewing candidates who arent a match for your project.SEARCH JOB CANDIDATESAsk the right questionsOnce you understand the skills necessary for the job and have created a clear job description, youll want to develop some questions to ask every candidate - and for consistency, compare their answers. Here are some questions you can ask when hiring a copywriterHow would you describe your writing style?What is your creative process like?Do you specialize in short or long form copy?What industries have you worked in?Do you have in-house or agency experience?How do you handle criticism?How well can you communicate with fellow creatives, such as graphic designers and art direct ors?How do you tie in your work to the big picture or the bottom line?How do you learn about your clients service/product?What volume of work/projects are you used to working on at one time?What is your favorite brand for copy inspiration?Is there a product category you prefer to write for?Next, when reviewing a copywriter candidates portfolio, you can ask What was your involvement in the project, concept and execution? Is your work collaborative or yours alone?Youll also want to conduct a writing test with examples of the types of projects the candidate would be working on for the company.Get compensation rightBecause theyre in high demand, its important to offer a competitive salary when hiring copywriters. According to the 2019 Creative Group Salary Guide, the midpoint salary for a copywriter with average experience is $71,500. A copywriter with more experience or hybrid skills - writing and Adobe Suite expertise, for example - could receive as much as $108,000 or more, dependi ng on their location and level of expertise.Move fastFinally, both Spicker and Kreutler warn clients hiring copywriters to move quickly and understand that every need you have will likely not be met. Our candidates are hired very quickly, says Kreutler. In many instances, she says, clients ask to see many candidates and hold off until they think theyve seen all the available options. By the time theyre ready to hire someone they interviewed, the candidate they want most has been placed somewhere else.
