Resume Presentation is Key By: Richard Moore Key words are important when a résumé is being scanned, particularly when being scanned by software which a very few companies are doing now. However, when a human being is reviewing resumes, which is 98% of the time, resume presentation also plays an important role in winning an interview over the other candidates who are applying for the same position as you. When a resume looks almost exactly the same as the one before it and the one before that etc. they tend to be overlooked regardless of the keywords. The majority of resumes sent to potential employers, employment agencies and recruitment agencies by jobseekers tend to be a word document resume and all of them are very close in structure and format. Let‟s put it this way: You are the marketer and sales agent for yourself, your skills and work experience. This means that you need to sell yourself and your skills to a potential employer in a better way than the competition for any particular job position being offered.
In much the same way that an advertising company has to sell their services by impressing the potential client with a presentation that will get their attention, so must a resume do the same thing. The first impression and presentation is the key to getting a potential employer to then look for keywords and go on to look at skill sets and experience. Times have changed! There are more people applying to every job offer than ever before. Employers are receiving 100‟s if not thousands of resumes for every job posting they advertise. Finding a way to present yourself with your resume which will get the potential employers attention is the first step in getting that all important interview. In order to be a step ahead of most everyone else, the text document resume evolved into a Bio Resume. The Bio Resume offered a glimpse into a person‟s character and personality as well as showcasing their skills and experience. These bio resumes have worked very well for those using this format.
To build a resume that will get you noticed there are a few things that need to be considered. 1. Be creative in the look, format, layout and presentation of your resume. Remember, your presentation, if done properly, will get the potential employers attention 2. Take a close look at the job being offered and the company offering the position Dynamic Career Solutions – Issue 5 – March 1 – March 15, 2011
Page 4
3. Breakdown the job posting and pick keywords used in that posting for use in your resume 4. Write your career objective in a way that emulates the companies business model that you are applying to 5. In your Career Skills and Employment History sections, make sure you show bottom lines; numbers that show you helped grow the business of your previous employers and the ideas or projects you implemented that were successful in helping the growth of the company These 5 things will make your resume shine and give you the competitive edge. To give you more insight into what this means (offering a better presentation than your competition) and for further research into increasing your percent of resumes sent to interviews received. I have found this to be an amazing resource. Dynamic Bio Resumes

The Phone Interview: How Not To Mess It Up! Always be ready to answer the recruiter's call By: Amanda Frank The job hunter‟s job doesn‟t end in a blitz of resumes. You‟re technically on call for the next few months it takes to find a job. Condition yourself to think that any incoming call could be a recruiter wanting to schedule an interview or conduct a quick one on the spot. Be prepared to put aside whatever it is you‟re doing and focus on your conversation. Stay clear on your objective, which is to secure a face-to-face interview and make it through the next round of elimination.
so you can jump online during the call to check out the company website. Think of it like professional staging, keeping a space in your house perpetually spotless for unannounced recruiter visits. Ask for Contact Information Again Don‟t trust your brain. Spare yourself the torture of trying to remember if her name was Ann-Marie, Annabelle or Anne of Green Gables. Ask for her name, even if you feel silly because she told it to you when she introduced herself. Ask her to spell it. Take note of the company and recruiter firm.
Answering Calls at Home Don‟t get too cocky about your home field advantage. Talking to a recruiter in the familiar surrounding of your house can be a wonderful salve for the nerves, just don‟t get so comfortable you overlook proper telephone etiquette i.e. no inhaling, ingesting or eliminating. Since you can‟t bat your eyelashes over the phone you‟re going to have to charm them with your mind. Turn off the TV and pay extra close attention to the call. Designate a quiet uncluttered place that you can sit upright, think clearly and take notes. Keep a pen, notepad and printed copy of your resume on hand. Ideally pick a spot with Internet access
As you‟ve noticed most cell phones today double as address books, input the contact information and then purposefully press Save! You won‟t be able to retrieve this information if you get distracted and accidentally discard it. Clean Up Your Communication Tools Follow suit for every communications tool a recruiter passes through to reach you. Record a new voicemail greeting including your name so that recruiters know they‟ve found the right person.

Set the ringtone on your cell phone to a traditional ringer or if you must opt for music go with something sophisticated. All of a sudden my cell carrier started playing the song I set for my ringtone as my ringback tone, what the caller hears while waiting for the callee to pick-up. Please enjoy this music while you wait for your third-party to connect! Make sure what follows isn‟t Rah rah ooh la la! When to Let the Call go to Voicemail Cell phones are famous for interruptions. A recruiter can catch you in line at the store, picking up your kid at school or scooping up after your dog. Besides the risk of a dropped call, you might not have a pen handy or a quiet environment in which to focus your attention. Let it go to voicemail.
If you‟re in the bathroom let it go to voicemail. If you‟re driving let it go to voicemail. If you‟re in a mall or grocery store, let it go to voicemail; it might be too hard to find a quiet corner to ace the call and meet your next objective, which is getting closer to that interview. Shield recruiters from the realities of your home life, particularly if World War Three is happening in your living room. Sometimes it‟s impossible to control the noise levels of other people that live in your house. You can be Trump in the boardroom but the recruiter will only remember your screeching kid in the throes of a tantrum. Let it go to voicemail or ask to reschedule the call.

Common Job Interview Mistakes That You Are Probably Making By: Elizabeth Bromstein Are you having trouble landing a great job despite being super-awesome? Maybe you‟re deluded and you‟re actually not awesome at all. Or maybe you just give bad interviews. A lot of people (I suspect maybe even the majority) are terrible in interviews. But you can fix it with just a few simple adjustments, according to Liz Holland of the Toronto-based Career Council, which offers “interview coaching by the best!” Holland, who has a British accent and who I therefore assume is very smart, offers the following interview tips and shares the biggest mistakes people make, which can all be put down to lack of preparation. Those Boy Scouts are onto something. 1. Know your own strengths. Holland says, “I usually start off by asking people to tell me a bit about themselves and their strengths. I would say nine out of ten people — and I‟m being generous — probably struggle to tell me even 2-3 strengths. This applies all the way up to senior people.” Are you great with deadlines? Are you highly organized? Great. Now you only need eight more. “I say ten” says Holland, “because you‟re not going to remember them all on the day. “But they haven‟t even thought about it,” she adds. “They put so much thought into their lovely resume: ‟should I use bullet points or little stars?‟ And then,
when you ask them to sell themselves they‟re not able to do it.” You don‟t need to answer every question perfectly, she says, “But you shouldn‟t be stumbling over the basics.” 2. Know the company with which you’re applying. Holland says, “The second mistake people make, and this shocks me, is not knowing the answer to the question „What do you know about the firm?‟ “It‟s so basic. There was a time, before the internet, when people had to go down to the library to do their research. Now it takes two seconds and they don‟t even do that. “What do you know about the firm? What‟s the firm‟s mission statement? What appeals to you about working here? You‟d be shocked at how people stumble over that one.” 3. Have stories. “A common form of interviewing is behavioral interviewing,” Holland explains. “Past behavior predicts future behavior. They‟re going to ask for exact stories to illustrate how you have behaved in the past, because they think that is how you‟ll behave in the future. And it‟s quite true. So, you want to have short stories, selling You, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Present the situation; show how you responded to the situation and the end result because you were involved.

“So, suddenly someone says „Tell us about a time you met a deadline‟ or „Tell us about a time you dealt with a difficult situation.‟ If you haven‟t thought up some stories beforehand, they‟re going to be difficult to come up with when you‟ve got three people looking at you in a boardroom. “And if you don‟t answer the first question well, it‟s not going to get better. If something starts to go badly, you lose confidence really quickly and it gets worse.” 4. Don’t be late. You can even do a dry run. Holland suggests having a look at the building beforehand if you can and making sure you know where you‟re going. Why? “It does not matter what the excuse is for even being five or ten minutes late. You have lost that job. Check the trains if you‟re coming in from out of town. Don‟t take the one that will get you in close to the time. Get the one that will get you in an hour before and go have a coffee. Relax, breathe, don‟t be the one that‟s scrambling.” Among other little tips: watch that you don‟t use “like” and “you know” every second word. Holland and I talked about that here.
Also, ladies, give a firm handshake. “The limp fish handshake is such a thing,” Holland says. “In that first twelve seconds, you‟ve got to make good eye contact, smile and offer a firm handshake.” (Firm, she says, not crushing.) Consider the position of the person doing the hiring. “These people are not mind readers. They don‟t know you. You‟ve got to tell them. “The HR person who is going to forward the candidate to the manager or VP doesn‟t want to make mistakes because it doesn‟t reflect well on them. And the manager or VP doesn‟t want to make a mistake. They want to feel safe. It‟s a big thing appointing people.” Ultimately, “It takes so little to be the person that stands out. Prepare yourself. The person that does that will be the person that gets the job.”

The Ten Keys to Success at Job and Career Fairs By: Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D. There are many types of job and career fairs -- from ones scheduled during Spring Break for college students to industry-specific ones for professionals -- but they all have one common theme: it's a chance for a company to meet and screen a large volume of potential job candidates. Whether you're a college student new to the job-hunting process or a seasoned professional, these ten strategies will improve your odds of not being screened out and should lead to a deeper level of satisfaction with your efforts and increase your chances of obtaining a second interview. Keep in mind that career fairs should be just one small part of your entire job search process; however, they can be a successful part. Will these ten strategies guarantee you success? Of course not, but by following these strategies, you will be in position to strategically place yourself above many of the other job-seekers who are attending the fair. The Ten Keys to Success: 1. Pre-register. Some career fairs allow jobseekers to pre-register for the event, which usually includes submitting a resume or summary resume. With more fairs going to the Web, preregistration will most likely become even more common. The idea behind pre-registering, of course, is that employers get a chance to prescreen applicants and possibly make note of applicants they want to meet at the fair. Does pre-registration guarantee that you will get noticed or that employers will even look at the registrations? No, but why would you not take advantage of such an easy step? 2. Research. Many job-seekers go to fairs to "see the sights" and are not prepared to interview. You can get a huge jump on the competition by getting a list of the companies attending the fair and doing some research on each of the companies you want to interview with; don't waste time with companies that do not interest you. While all of the recruiters will have company literature at their booths at the fair, you often can't access those until after the interview. With so much information about companies on the Web, there is no excuse not to do your homework. A great site to help you with this strategy is our Guide to Researching Companies. 3. Resumes. Bring lots of resumes to the fair -- at least two for each company for which you have an interest. If you have multiple interests or job objectives, make sure you bring enough of each version of your resume. For tips on writing a Dynamic Career Solutions – Issue 5 – March 1 – March 15, 2011

traditional resume, visit these resume resources. You should also bring scannable versions of your resumes. More and more recruiters are simply bringing these collected stacks of resumes back to the corporate office and scanning them into a database. Need assistance with developing a scannable resume? Then visit these scannable resume fundamentals. Portfolios. More and more career experts are emphasizing the importance of career portfolios. These portfolios should include copies of your resumes, a list of references, and samples of your best work. While most career fair interviews are fairly short, there may be opportunities for discussing your portfolio with a recruiter -- either over a short break or meal or during a second interview on-site. It is best to always be prepared no matter what happens. Read our article, Your Job Skills Portfolio: Giving You an Edge in the Marketplace. Attire. Conservative business attire is essential, even for those Spring Break beachside career fairs because image and first impressions are critical. Know what is the expected attire of your profession and dress accordingly. It is always better to be overdressed than underdressed. Read more in our Dress for Success section of Quintessential Careers. Strategy. You need to devise a strategy or plan of attack for the fair. You've already done the first step by researching the companies you are interested in. The second step is seeing if any new companies have registered when you arrive at the fair. The third step is surveying the layout of the fair and determining an order of interviewing. Some experts suggest meeting with your top choices first thing in the morning, interviewing with your other choices in the middle of the day, and returning to your top choices at the end of the day to thank them again for their time. But remember to stay flexible as your top choices may be the top choices of many, creating long lines that you may wish to avoid. Interviewing. You may only have two to five minutes to market yourself and protect yourself from being screened out, thus you need to make the most of your time. Many experts suggest that you develop a one-minute "commercial" that highlights the key benefits that you can offer the organization -- and then use it at the beginning of the interview. Also remember the three keys to all interviews: make eye contact, offer a firm handshake, and show enthusiasm. You should also prepare answers to interview questions just as you would any employment interview. The most common question you will face is something along the lines of "what are you here for today?" Seems like an easy question to answer, especially if you've done your homework and can tailor your answer to your interests and the company's interests,

thereby marketing yourself. Make sure you also have some questions ready to ask the interviewer. A great concluding question for you to ask is, "What do I need to do to obtain a second interview with your firm?" Finally, make sure to avoid poor communication bad habits, such as fidgeting, rocking, chewing gum, etc. Follow this link for more interviewing tips and resources. 8. Intangibles. There are several other things you can do to help make your career fair experience a success. First, don't waste your time interviewing with companies you have no desire to work for; do make sure to interview with all the companies you do want to work for. Second, if you did not prepare for a company you want to interview for, try eavesdropping on several of the interviews ahead of you so you can better prepare; do also try to get some company literature from the booth before getting in line so you can read about the company while waiting; don't just stand in line doing nothing. Third, do extend common courtesies, such as offering to get the recruiter a beverage or snack; don't be upset if the recruiter has to take a break before your interview. Fourth, if your ideal company is hiring computer technicians and you want to work in accounting, do still interview with the company at the fair, being sure to leave the interview with the contact information of the person responsible for hiring in that area; don't be discouraged and walk away. 9. Networking. Career fairs are all about networking. Of course, you are building a network with the recruiters -- this task is your most vital. However, you can also network with your fellow job-seekers in terms of sharing information about job leads, companies, and their recruiting strategies and styles. There may also be professional organizations or employment agencies on hand at the fair, which are also good sources for networking. Learn more by visiting: The Art of Networking. 10. Follow-up. Don't take the order of this key to mean it to be the least important; in fact, some would say it is one of the most important. You would be surprised at how few job-seekers actually take the time to follow-up their career fair interviews, thus when you do it, you will get an edge over the many others who do not. There are two main methods of follow-up. Some experts suggest actually calling the recruiter the evening of the fair and leaving a voicemail message thanking the recruiter again for his/her time that day. A more concrete and traditional method is to write a thank you note and mail it the next day to the address on the recruiter's business card. In the letter, thank the recruiter for his/her time, restate your interest and qualifications for the position, reiterate your interest in a second interview, and make a promise to follow-up the letter with a phone call (and then make sure you do in fact call). You probably should enclose another copy of your resume to be sure. Source: QuintessentialCareers. com

Workplace Humor: How To Reduce Stress With Inoffensive Office Humor By: Elizabeth Scott, M.S. It‟s been well-documented that humor and laughter can reduce stress and provide many other benefits. And few areas of life are more stressful than the workplace. So, not surprisingly, it‟s been found that office humor can be a good stress-reliever, reducing job stress, boosting morale, bringing people closer, and perhaps even warding off burnout. Unfortunately, it can also alienate people and create a more hostile work environment, even sparking lawsuits, all of which creates more stress in the end. According to recent research from Professor Christopher LeGrow from Marshall University, workplace humor can help people de-stress, but it can often be offensive. In fact, around 70% of people polled reported that workplace jokes they’d heard centered around making fun of coworkers based on factors like age, sexual orientation and even weight! Additionally, 40% admitted that they themselves had made fun of a coworker’s age or weight. Other popular workplace joke topics included jokes based on accents, personal hygiene, and work behavior (like poor attendance,
asking the wrong questions, or working too closely with the boss). While there wasn‟t a big difference between what men and women found offensive in office humor, women were more likely to be offended at remarks targeting their physical characteristics, such as weight, scars or cleavage. Often, office jokes intended to be humorous weren‟t received that way, according to LeGrow. When workers are offended or threatened by jokes, it‟s time for the company to step in and curtail the situation, as it then becomes a liability and a problem for morale and productivity. So what‟s behind this delicate balance of offensive vs. funny office humor, and how can workers enjoy the stressrelieving benefits of humor and laughter without the damaging effects of offensive jokes? It seems that it‟s not humor itself that‟s the problem, but the use of humor to convey messages that are in and of themselves offensive. Here are some guidelines to remember when you‟re telling jokes around the office:
Think of The Message: Ask yourself what the point, or underlying message, of your joke is. Are you using humor to say something that you wouldn‟t say to someone without the joke attached? Know Your Audience: If you‟re teasing someone about a physical feature, a scar, for example, do you know them well enough to know if they are comfortable enough with that feature to be matter-of-fact about it, or would mention of it be hurtful? Leave Serious Topics Alone: Don‟t joke about topics that are controversial or painful to someone else, like death, physical disabilities, sexual harassment or racial inequalities (or race in general). Just don‟t do it. Dynamic Career Solutions – Issue 5 – March 1 – March 15, 2011
Page 15
Be Careful of Politics: While a surprising number of people make political jokes, it‟s very important to know your audience, and avoid making political jokes that would offend someone of a different ideology if they‟re part of the group. Something that sounds hilarious when Jon Stewart says it might sound crass coming from someone else. When In Doubt, Leave It Out: If you‟re not sure how a joke will be received, it‟s best not to tell it. Some people say that society is too “politically correct” or that people offended by certain jokes are “too sensitive”, but it‟s about respecting the people around you. Nobody wants to be made the butt of jokes, and it‟s best to joke about a neutral topic. Emulate Seinfeld, Not The Office: Reruns of Seinfeld, or any of his stand-up routines, provide perfect examples of (mostly) inoffensive but hilarious comedy. Everyone can relate to these jokes because they generally target human nature, the quirks of society, and don‟t single out groups based on features like race, sex or other features. Seinfeld makes us laugh at ourselves, and not at the expense of others. Steve Carell‟s character on The Office, however, gives perfect examples of what not to do. From belittling people, to constantly adding sexual innuendo by saying, “That‟s what she said!” to singling out people based on weight, sex, race and other offensive features, “Michael” is hilarious because he constantly does exactly what you shouldn’t do! When dealing with people who use workplace humor offensively or aggressively, use assertive communication to stand up for yourself or others, or change the subject and joke
about other (safer) topics. Your coworkers should appreciate it, and you‟ll be creating a more friendly, comfortable (but still fun) work environment.
