Manage your time during your job search
ARCADIA HOME CARE
We’ve all heard that “finding a job is a full-time job,” but what is the most effective way to manage that time?
(NewsUSA) – For most job seekers, the goal is to find the best job as quickly as possible, but it can be difficult to implement this plan everyday.
example, the greatest number of prospects who might actually be able to hire you will likely be at an industry event rather than at a jobseekers’ networking event.
To make the most of valuable time, below are recommendations on expediting the process so job seekers can stop searching and start working:
Apply to the right positions
Make a plan Take some time to think about all the ways that you could get hired, and brainstorm all the different avenues of finding a job. Include a list of potential target companies to research, social media sites to use, recruiters to contact, people who may know someone who is hiring, online job boards, job fairs and networking and industry events. Prioritize job search methods Evaluate which job search methods are most important by thinking about what is more likely to lead you to the right job. For
Honestly assess your skills to determine the best job postings to apply to. Jeffrey Greenberg, director of career services at DeVry University in Philadelphia, recommends focusing on the job postings where you have the right skills. “Fight the urge to apply to any and every job posting you find. Instead, target those that best align with your qualifications, and focus on creating a good balance of quantity and quality of your applications,” said Greenberg.

Manufacturers see fastest monthly growth since 2004 By Jeffry Bartash, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MCT) – American manufacturing activity expanded in February at the fastest pace since 2004, though manufacturers have grown more concerned about rising inflation, according to a closely followed index released Mar. 1. The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing gauge rose to 61.4 percent in February from 60.8 percent in the prior month. Any reading over 50 indicates that more manufacturers are expanding instead of shrinking. The manufacturing sector has now grown 19 straight months, outshining most other U.S. industries during that time. In 2010, the sector even gained jobs for the first time since 1997. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast the index to edge up to 61 percent. In a generally upbeat ISM report, however, companies flashed a warning sign about the cost of raw materials and inflation. The ISM’s prices index jumped to its highest level in more than two years. And some 66 percent of respondents said they paid more for raw materials; only 2 percent said they paid less. “We continue to see significant inflation across nearly every type of chemical raw materials we purchase,” one chemical maker told ISM. Norbert Ore, who heads the ISM survey committee, said the price index “indicates significant inflation of raw materials costs across many commodities.”
The institute asks about 350 purchasing managers if their business got better or worse this past month. These senior executives are involved in all sorts of decisions, including hiring, the purchase of raw materials, the delivery of supplies, and the management of inventories. Fourteen of 18 industries tracked by Tempe, Ariz.-based ISM expanded in February, spearheaded by apparel, oil and coal, and transportation. The index for new orders, which is a strong indicator of future sales, rose to 68 percent from 67.8 percent. That was the highest level since 2004. Production also increased, up to 66.3 percent from 63.5 percent the prior month. The inventories index, meanwhile, fell to 48.8 percent from 52.4 percent, which is usually a sign of improved sales. Companies tend to draw down inventory in a recovery when demand for their products is higher than they expect. What’s more, the backlog of orders rose to 59 percent from 58.0 percent. Backlogs tend to rise as demand increases. The employment index, meanwhile, jumped to 64.5 percent from 61.7 percent in January – the highest reading since 1973. The employment index has only topped 60.0 percent three times in the past decade. ___ (c) 2011, MarketWatch.com Inc.

Writing a

Resume
Once you’ve chosen a style (formal, informal, professional, elegant, etc.) you’ll need to make sure you have dates for all the positions you’ve held that you intend to include. A good rule of thumb to follow is to list the last ten years of employment unless you have had more than five positions in those ten years. If you have had five positions in the last five or six years then list only those, but be prepared to answer questions from your interviewer on why you have “job hopped” so much. The interviewer may not use that term exactly, but that is what they are thinking, so have a good answer ready.

WhyNot?

According to a 2011 survey on American office workers and their coffee habits conducted by Alterra Coffee Roasters: • 65 percent of workers drink coffee while at work. • The average worker consumes three cups of coffee per day. • 38 percent of workers say they wouldn't make it through a typical workday without coffee. • 30 percent drink coffee in the workplace because it helps them focus and increase productivity. Coffee culture Coffee not only benefits employees, but also office culture. The coffee pot has displaced the water cooler as the primary location to interact with co-workers, according to the survey. Two in five office coffee drinkers say they have had interesting or helpful talks with colleagues or bosses while near the coffee maker. While this pastime increases bonding, survey results suggest traditional coffee pots can also cause resentment and irritation amongst co-workers. One in four workers say there is someone at the office who never prepares fresh coffee when needed, while 21 percent said they dislike dealing with people who make a mess when handling the office brew. To help eliminate such feelings of frustration, many employers opt for onecup coffee systems that brew from freshsealed, single-use packs like the Flavia Fresh Release System. This new workplace trend allows employees to become their own barista by creating a number of customizable specialty drinks -- including coffee, espresso, latte, cappuccino, tea and more -- without leaving the office.
average cost of an espresso-based drink now at $2.45, according to the 2011 Coffee Business Statistics Report. The report also showed 18 percent of American coffee drinkers consume at least one gourmet coffee beverage per day, a significant expense. In fact, more than three in five Alterrasurvey respondents say they routinely buy coffee outside of the office, spending an average of $14 per week. Many say they've abandoned the office in search of a good cup because they didn't enjoy drinking the coffee provided at work, and 16 percent of these workers admit doing so caused them to miss important calls or meetings at the office. Investing in fresh, good-tasting coffee at the office obviously pays off for employers in the long run - saving employees cash while keeping them closer to tasks at hand. This small investment produces large returns, boosting employee productivity and satisfaction.
Fun coffee stats: • What if you could have a celebrity barista come to your office? Nearly one in five office workers voted to have America's sweetheart, Sandra Bullock, play barista in their office. There was a three-way tie for second place, with Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston and George Clooney all ranking as highly desired office coffee servers. • More than seven in 10 office workers who drink coffee down the most cups of joe on Monday. • More than one in five office workers admit the quality of their work would suffer if they didn't have coffee.
Investing in coffee?
• Contestants on the new season of “Celebrity Apprentice” better keep a stash of coffee in their briefcases. Celebrity bosses like Donald Trump, Mr. Burns from “The Simpsons” and Sue Sylvester from “Glee” are all perceived by Americans to be especially grumpy without their daily cup of coffee.
As coffee drinking grows in popularity, it is also rising in cost. Specialty-coffee sales are increasing 20 percent per year with the
• More women than men admit they wouldn’t be able to go 24 hours without coffee.

Take the time to update your resume for the new year (ARA) – The new year has arrived, and it’s time to get to work. You may be back in the office or pounding the pavement looking for a new job. Either way, it’s time to polish your resume so it appeals to employers, because what may have worked for you in the past might not be relevant today. “Your resume is a living document,� says Heather VanRiper, assistant director of career services at The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago. She points out that workers are always learning new skills on the job, at professional development conferences and seminars. Many of those skills can and should be a part of your updated resume. But if you’re not currently looking, why take the time to spruce up an old resume? “Who knows when the next opportunity will open up?� asks VanRiper. “You could be at a networking event, a dinner party or even on a train commuting home when you bump into an opportunity that you just can't pass up. Having your resume ready to go makes you look more polished and professional.� VanRiper suggests you take a good look at your experience to see if you need to add any new job responsibilities or reflect recent promotions. Have you joined any
March 7–20, 2011
new professional organizations or been elected to a board? Polish up the skills section of your resume with any new software applications you've learned. And don't forget to add any foreign languages you know. Since the digital age is here, your resume should keep up. “Add a link to your work in your resume. From an employer’s point of view, if they can read all about you and also click on a link and see your work, you become visual,� VanRiper says. “Your potential employer can now see your capabilities.� Just make sure the materials you are directing employers to, are updated. A short employment history does not mean you’re short on skills. Don’t discredit any experience that you’ve had, says VanRiper. She adds, “There’s a lot of value in transferable skills like problem solving, customer service and attention to detail. If you can demonstrate those skills in your resume, you show that you're an asset to any workplace.� Once you’re done with the updates, VanRiper has one final piece of advice. “Proofread. Proofread. Proofread. Errors are inexcusable and will cost you the job.�

How Important is it that we Love our Jobs? Work/life balance expert Jim Bird (www.worklifebalance.com) says we hear all the time how important it is to have jobs we love. Yet most people he knows don’t love their work. They either accept it or tolerate it. And that’s okay, Bird says. He points out that while it’s not necessary to be passionate about your job, you should be passionate about how well you do the job. Why? Because that’s what you do for yourself. Lacking passion for your job doesn’t necessarily mean you’re living your life less well than the individual who is passionate about work. Your passion may surface in regard to other areas of your life. Bird offers these suggestions for generating more ardor for living: • Write the essay or book that’s been in the back of your mind. • Take a class in a subject that engrosses you. • Teach a class in the subject that engrosses you. • Cook dinners that will make your friends swoon. • Go to your favorite sporting events. • Let the people you’re closest to know how much you adore them. The key is to set aside time for doing whatever it is you love to do. The first step is deciding you’re going to do it. The important second step, Bird says, is to go for it.
