Its not you, its your resume.

Its not you, its your resume.Its not you, its your resume.If youre like most people, you have a resume that includes something like thisHired as Director, Tri-State AreaResponsible for a budget of $1.2 millionManaged staff of 5 in our downtown officeYour details may be grander, or your career may be at an earlier stage, but lots and lots of people have this style of information presentation on their resume.Can you spot the error?These resume bullet points simplydescribewhat you did. They dont tell your future boss howgoodyou are at doing the job.Its obvious If youve got a job and you work in an office in the year 2015Three things happened You were hired for that job You had some monetary resources to manage You had people working for or with youSeriously, you havent told the employer or your future bossanythingwith those three bullet points.So here are two simple tips.Be aware of your valueFirst, read your resume out loud, putting the phrase You should give me a draufgabe this year b ecause in front of each line.If it doesnt make sense that somebody would give you a bonus, or increase your bonus, because of that line delete the sentence and write a better one.For example, going into your boss office and telling her You should give me a bonus this year because you hired me to be Director, Tri-State Area wouldnt get you very far. You dont really deserve a year-end bonus just for getting hired. (Does not apply if youre an NFL coach switching jobs).Rather, you deserve a bonus when you accomplish somethingYou increased sales. You decreased expenses. You improved the time it takes to do the tasks. You increased the efficacy of the process or product.You made your companybettersomehow. You didnt just show up you did something well.Which brings us to the second tip.Use statistics to show the impact youve madeCount how many $ signs and % signs and specific numbers you have on your resumeAnd now double that number.That is, rewrite your resume and include twice as many $ a nd % and s as were on your original resume.The minimum you should have, if youve been in the workforce for over a decade, is twenty.Dollar signs and percentage signs are indicators of achievements that you can quantify. Quantifiable achievements are more persuasive than qualitative achievements for most resumes.So rather than just increasing sales, decreasing expenses, or improving task times, you..Increased sales by 27% in my region through the effective use of strategic selling.Decreased costs by 11% in my division without impacting productivity.Generated $14 million in new bookings through database marketing.Reduced server load by 73%, and server cost by 22% through refactoring old code base.Saved $1.2 million in recruiting and legal costs by insourcing.Improved factory throughput by 17% by re-engineering the supply chain and introducing new manufacturing techniques.When you read these bullet points with You should give me a bonus this year because, they all make sense. And thats because they provide a quantifiable achievement that made the company better because you were there.And demonstrating to your future boss the types of achievements that he can expect from you, in numbers that he can understand, is the best way for him to come to the conclusion that youre the right person for the job.And thats how you make your resume so much more effective in about two minutes on a cold Monday morning in January. Andthatis quite an achievementHave a 55% more fantastic week in the job search this week, Readers

This example really makes sense. Reply Edwin Mwaniki on October 13th, 2017 - 1254pm Wowits actually interesting how 25yrs experience fit in such a small volume with each one of them represented.Im learning ?? Reply David Morris on October 14th, 2017 - 310am WOW. This is inspirational.As a hiring manager, I have certainly valued seeing people pay attention to the format as well as the content of their CV. In my most recent recruitment drive, of the three candidates that made it through to the brde round, tow of them had used . It shows. The long wordy CVs, with little thought to format, language, grammar, or white space make me cringe and risk being quickly consigned to the reject pile. Our internal recruiters hold us to account for providing reasonable feedback on why someone dont make the grade (an awful CV alone is not reason enough). Perhaps I should start making a link to part of that feedback.Now, ironically, as I think about my own CV it used to run many pages, as I used to detail individual projects on which I had worked. Then some years ago I trimmed it down to four pages. Page 1 has my profile, key achievements, and summary of core competencies. Pages 2 and 3 cover roles and achievements in the brde 12 years, showing just a list of roles from the 20 years before that. Finally, page 4 shows my professional development, education, professional memberships, online presence, publications, and general interests. Seeing this one-pager has certainly given me some ideas. While I can see ways of chopping mine down to a two-pager, I am struggling with how it might become a single page. I note that the font you have used is small, however it is a really crisp font with plenty of white space still, so that the reader can focus. Ill ponder some more and see what I could safely discard. Reply Pamela on October 15th, 2017 - 301pm Can I hire someone at your company to create something like this for me from my blah old school resume? Im not at all tech savvy Reply Tatiana Rehmova on October 16th, 2017 - 742am Hi Pamela, unfortunately, we dont offer such services. We believe that you know yourself and your career best and therefore its most appropriate if you create your resume yourself. We did our best to make the platform super-easy to use, which means you dont need to be tech savvy to be able to create a great resume yourself. ?? If you decide to give it a go, wed be excited to hear what you thought. Thank you Reply Raj on October 31st, 2017 - 342pm Putting a photo on the resume. How do you (as hiring managers) feel about this? One, it is too edgy styling, but thats my personal opinion. Second, I am concerned about discriminatory hiring lawsuits, etc. I dont want applicants to send me resume with photos. What do yo u think? Reply Tatiana Rehmova on November 3rd, 2017 - 1107am Hi Raj, thanks for your comment.As an employer, we accept resumes with a photo on them. Its not that we require them, but we definitely dont throw them in the bin. As an employer, you need to decide whats important to you. For us, the main information we want to see on resumes is candidates personality, values, attitude to work and life, as well as quantifiable results from each job theyve had. A photo is the last thing we look at. Its definitely a sensitive topic, though. On one hand, yes, you can get a discriminatory hiring lawsuit, but on the other hand, the majority of recruiters use Linkedin as a way to cross-check resumes. On Linkedin, were encouraged to use a profile photo anyway. So wouldnt that be against the law too? Reply Michael Sexton on December 7th, 2017 - 525pm If an employer has a bias 1. Do you really want to work for them anyway? 2. Theyre going to find out what you look like, your gender and your ethnicity at some point, most likely on LinkedIn. When I have needed to supply a CV (and I use ) I link the photo to my YouPlus.biz personal branding video. This is like a 30 second pre-interview, which allows me to communicate my message directly to the recruiter or employer. Its the perfect complement to a . Its also on my LinkedIn Profile which is key Reply renuka on April 26th, 2018 - 658am Length of a resume matters big time. This, I came to know after going through your blog which is based on the length of a resume. It helped me a lot during resume preparation. Thank you.

Reply Jon Mark on November 16th, 2018 - 1224pm I looked at my tired old 2-page CV with fresh eyes, reduced it to a 1-page version, and its so much betterThe only thing I dont like in the above examples is the Life Philosophy/Motto, which so often seems to be pretentious filler an d a turn-off. Is it really helpful? Reply Tatiana Rehmova on November 16th, 2018 - 225pm Hi Jon and thanks for a great feedback ?? I see your point about Life Philosophy, but some people feel strongly about their own one and love this section. Of course, it depends on you, your style, and your feeling. The aim is to feel proud when you look at your resume, not pretentious. I hope this helps ?? ReplyLeave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.

The 5 Skills of Highly Valuable and Highly Productive Employees

The 5 Skills of Highly Valuable and Highly Productive Employees The 5 Skills of Highly Valuable and Highly Productive Employees Its no surprise managers rate their top performers as their most valuable employees. VitalSmarts latest research sought to measure just how much more valuable top performers are and exactly what it is they do that makes them so valuable.Our study of more than 1,500 employees found that top performers arent just a little bit more valuable. Rather, both managers and peers say top performers are three times more valuable than the average employee. Top performers also do 61 percent of the total work done in their departments.In our study, we asked managers and peers to rate their direct reports and coworkers on a 10-point scale. Then, we asked them a couple of questions Do tens work harder or smarter? and Do top performers work habits add to their stress or reduce it? Both managers and peers agreed that tens work smarter, not harder, than the average employee. To top it off, tens are also significantly less stressed. In fact, 83 percent of leaders and 77 percent of peers said a tens work habits reducetheir stress.How do these top performers do it? What stress-reducing, performance-enhancing habits do they practice routinely and regularly? Below are five productivity practices of highly valuable and highly productive employeesCollect everything that owns attentionCapture all commitments, tasks, ideas, and projects rather than keeping them in your head. Use just a few capture tools you keep with you all the time, such as lists, apps, email, etc.Decide what your stuff means to youClarify whether the items youve captured have an action or not. If they do, be very clear about what the very next action is and who should take it. Without a next action, the task will likely languish on a listor somewhere in your brain. In both cases, the task is taking up precious spacethat could be occupied by more enjoyable and fulfilling items.Use the two-min ute ruleIf an action can be completed in two minutes or less, do it immediately. Dont defer. The time youll waste letting simple actions occupy your attention and to-do list is not worth it.Do more of the right things by reflecting in the right momentsRather than diving into your messy inbox first thing, take two minutes to review your daily calendar and your action lists. This reflection ensures you make the best decisions about how to use your time.Review weeklyKeep a sacred, non-negotiable meeting with yourself every week to re-sync, get current, and align your daily work and projects with your higher-level priorities.The message in this research is that a small number of self-management practices can change a persons life. In fact, when you compare people who consistently demonstrate these key productivity skills with those who dont, productive people are- 55 times less likely to start projects that never get finished- 21 times less likely to experience tasks and responsibilitie s falling through the cracks- unlikely to ever miss deadlines or assignments- 18 times less likely to feel overwhelmed- and 9 times less likely to feel depressed.These skills are also extremely beneficial to the organization, as they dramatically improve performance. Productivity is more than just being busy. Employees who learn to manage their workloads quickly and efficiently dont just get more done they get more of the right things done. They stop carrying the weight and anxiety of work, and they free up their time and mental capacity for new and better ideas. Its a win-win for both the individual and the business.David Maxfield is a New York Times best-selling author, keynote speaker, and leading social scientist for business performance.

A Scheduling Hack That Will Make Your Week More Productive

A Scheduling Hack That Will Make Yur Week More Productive When we first start out in our careers, we welcome busy. We stay late to prove we have what it takes to earn credibility. Theres no issue with face time. In fact, we want to be seen.Then slowly things change. We begin to manage other people, and we have family obligations that have us rushing out the door at 530 p.m. Most importantly, we begin to develop a clear vision for our career and our role in our organization. In order to succeed, we need to have a clear strategy about how we use our time at work every day.When we are at the doorstep to senior management, we have to change how we approach our day. We can no longer have our day (and other peoples priorities) running us we have to run our day by deciding how we spend our time.The only way to do this is to plan your week in advance. If you wait to find time as the week progresses, it wont be there. Why? Because if you dont schedule your priorities other peoples emergencies will fill the space.Use the tips below to get started and click on this link to use my Frame Your Week worksheet to help you get started.THE NON-NEGOTIABLESIf you have meetings or family responsibilities that are absolute necessities, fill them in first. When I say necessities, this means if you dont pick your child up from school no one will. No one will write this newsletter for me, so I need to start drafting it on Tuesdays if its to be published on Thursdays.The non-negotiables also includes time to focus on career strategy. If you want a new job or time to reflect on your quarterly or weekly goals, you need to set aside 6090 minutes each week to track your progress and decide upon action steps that will support your career goals. If you dont want to stay stuck in your career, you have to plan time to move forward. Without a dedicated block of time for this each week, you lose track of your priorities and eventually find yourself standing still.SELF-CAREThe next thing to schedu le is self-care Exercise, sleep, meditation, or whatever you do that makes you feel alive and capable of managing your life needs to be a priority in your week. If working out first thing in the morning is ideal for you, then choose two or three mornings to do it.The key to scheduling time for self-care is flexibility??give yourself options so that if you miss it on one day, you can fit it on another day.NETWORKINGSchedule at least one day each week that youll have lunch out of the office with someone in your network. When we get busy, typically we stop meeting with people outside of the office. This is such a big mistake. Networking is the fuel that helps you keep your strategic plans in action.Opportunity comes from the other people. If you isolate yourself, youll miss out on information, possibilities and perspective from people who want to help you.MEETINGS, EMAIL,ETC.Once youve added the above items to your schedule, then you have a clear picture of how much time you have for o ther peoples priorities. Start your work day with your priorities, reaching out to people that will help you make progress. If you have standard meetings with your staff, make sure they are at the same day and time each week.Try to get in the habit of checking your email and social media accounts at a designated time, not sporadically throughout the day. Otherwise, they suck valuable time out of your day.This exercise is designed to help you visualize how you spend your days and ultimately, your week. We rarely imagine how we want to spend our time??we just spend it. The best part of writing out this plan is that when your life goes crazy (kids are sick or you have tons of travel), you can come back to this and have the ability to refocus and get back on track.Take the time compare how you are spending your day versus how you would like to spend your day. And remember, this is going to be a work in progress. You might need to readjust the timing as your life and responsibilities cha nge.The important thing to remember is, if you dont give yourself time to take care of yourself and your career, you wont have the chance to take your career where you want it to go.
