Job Search - How to Properly Write a Resume Education Format
Job Search - How to Properly Write a Resume Education FormatWhen it comes to a job that you are going for, a resume education format is probably the single most important factor to consider. A poorly written resume can cause your application to be automatically discarded, leaving you with nothing but a resume that was handed to you.First, you must be aware of what a resume education format is. Simply put, it is the way in which you present yourself to a potential employer. You must be able to communicate yourself clearly and to the extent possible, you must present your resume in a manner that will be able to attract the attention of the employer.If you are having trouble in this area, you are certainly not alone. Many job seekers often struggle to get past the initial screening that usually occurs during a job interview. Having a poor resume education format can leave you open to being passed over.To start with, the resume education format that you use must be carefully considered. This means that you should have knowledge of a few different formats. You should be able to choose one that will be able to help you accomplish your goal of getting your resume read.An example of a good format would be a chronological resume. This is the format that you will usually find used by a recruiter or someone who has never worked for a company before. This is because this format allows them to visually see the best work history and offers a much easier process for selecting them for the job.Another common resume education format is the objective format. This is where you list out a job description and how you would be able to do it. Most resumes are written in this format because it allows for you to create a brief outline and contains several bullet points. This format can actually be turned into a sales letter as well.One final resume education format that you should take into consideration is the use of bullets. Bullets allow you to add specific information and are great at breaking up long phrases. It is important to note that bullets should not be edited after the fact, so if you have left out anything, make sure you have included it correctly in the bullet points.This is just an example of what is involved in making a resume education format that will effectively help you land that first job. Although you can find many books and software that will help you in this process, it is critical that you get an honest opinion from someone who has already gone through the process before. A friend or family member is the perfect person to discuss the pros and cons of a particular resume education format.

Best Christmas Gift Ever The Enduring One
Best Christmas Gift Ever The Enduring One Best Christmas Gift Ever: The Enduring One I just got the best Christmas gift, ever. My husband was off on a big hike earlier on Christmas Eve, and I wanted to celebrate some holiday cheer so I thought: âIâll walk downtown (itâs about 5 miles from my house), and check out Saturday Market.â Right after making that decision, I posted on Facebook to see if anyone wanted to join me at the market around 2pm, and my friend Jennifer responded that she was planning on being there about that time too. Off I went, with a cozy warm Santa hat (a Christmas gift from another year before) on my head to mark the festive occasion. I was getting close to the destination when Jennifer texted she was already there, so I decided to catch the light rail train the rest of the way to make it on time. Boy am I ever glad I did. What happened next was the best Christmas gift ever. As soon as I boarded, I noticed a woman sitting kitty-corner across from me, and we smiled at each other. She had a bit of an odd look about her, and I guessed silently that perhaps she was a cancer patient due to her hair looking sort of like a wig. âI like your hat,â she ventured. âThanks,â I said, and smiled. I think something in my smile must have sparked her, and she started chatting away. True confessions: I was a little leery at first because anytime a complete stranger starts talking a lot on public transportation, itâs usually cause to change seats. But she poured out her life story of growing up in rural Idaho, outside of Boise, in a house with no electricity or running water, let alone a rest room. She learned to fish and hunt for subsistence reasons. Eventually, she married a man from Colton, Oregon who later became a sniper in the Navy Seals. She worked her way up in the hotel industry, most recently working at the DoubleTree Lloyd Center as a chef/cook before she had to retire. She paused in her story, then quietly said that she had endured 11 different rounds of cancer. The last time it happened, the priests had been called and told her husband that she wasnât going to make it. But she did. âIâm virtually indestructible,â she smiled and laughed. âBut not this time. I have terminal lung cancer.â Then she proceeded to tell me the rest of her story. Her family has been plagued by a genetic trait for blindness, and her youngest brother was born blind. âBecause I only have 6 months or less to live,â she said, tears welling up in her eyes, âI am going to donate my eyes to him so my little brother will see for the first time in his life.â By this time, we are both crying. I quietly nodded and said to her, âThank you.â She smiled. My stop was next, and just before the train lurched to a stop, I asked if I could give her a hug. She said, âOf course, but be careful because I have a broken collar bone.â As I hugged this tiny flame of humanity and wished her a Merry Christmas, I was still amazed at this womanâs gift to her brother. And as I said good bye as I got off the train, I heard her say âMerry Christmas⦠and I wish I had gotten to know more about you.â Mind. BLOWN. Merry Christmas, everyone. And remember, sometimes the best gifts are ones you donât expect like the one she gave me and are reasons to help you make your heart even bigger.

What Does Dress For Success Look Like Today
What Does Dress For Success Look Like Today A cursory look at the history of clothing shows a lot of change, and it is a fascinating way to spend some time. Who knew that both men and women wore makeup and high heels in some European courts? Clothing has always been an indicator of power, and that fact will probably never change. But when you are trying to figure out how to dress for the success of your career, there isnt much help in the styles of the past. What matters today is the impression you make on those around you now. There Is No Single Business Uniform Its a mistake to think that you can read up on business attire and get it right for a specific business environment, because every workplace is slightly different. There are some general guidelines, though, and I think the best one Ive seen is Business Insiders look at How To Dress Like A Leader In Any Work Environment. It identifies 5 levels of business attire, from baseline casual to boardroom attire and gives a complex subject some simplicity. But the reality is that different regions in the world can vary on their idea of what to wear, and when. CEOs in the Silicon Valley are going to look different than a similar executive level in New York City, while the boardroom in Hong Kong has way more suits in it than the same companys boardroom in Hawaii. There Is A Universal Standard of Excellence While the colors and styles may change, all higher level wardrobes have distinct similarities: Everything fits and flatters the wearer Everything is in good condition Everything is high-quality in material and construction All accessories are equally high-quality Dressing for success definitely still matters in todays business environment, but you need to do some research to determine what your success strategy will look like.
