Answer Upon - Resurrecting the Perfect Resume, Part One
How To Energize Your Business Everyday Where do we find the physical, mental and spiritual energy to create and sustain our business and stay true to our vision? Besides the obvious advice about diet, exercise and minimizing stress, there's a whole different area of energy that we can benefit from. That's the creative vital power of our personal vision and the way we bring it out to the world.Everything is energy. Even things we think of as solid and immovable, such as rocks and dirt, are chock full of energy. The more alive the energy, the more power that's manifested. That goes for anything from tsunami waves to megastar personalities.It's all a matter of freeing up the energy and expressing our innate talents and strengths. The key is to be able to find ways to nurture and keep expanding our creative energy. When we start out with our inspiration for our business or career we're often exuberantly excited and inspired. If we see it clearly and put our full energy behind it, we can create a great expression of who we truly are.Over time with daily repetition and stress, our vision and creative energy can fade. With constant demands of meeting deadlines and making sales and profit goals, dealing with customers, employees and competition, the daily grind of business wears us down. While we may have enough energy to keep up with daily tasks, it's hard to stay inspired.We're challenged to stay true to our vision and keep growing with integrity. Our work life can start to feel like a straightjacket. We may ask ourselves "Beyond just surviving, what's the point of all this?"How do we free up our energy again? Better yet, how do we stay fresh and excited and open? How do we continually create something greater? What would it take to be in a constant state of free flowing creative energy?From my perspective, there's a number of highly ef
Nevada LLC Operating Agreements Nevada is considered a haven for business owners who want to create a new corporation or a limited liability company or LLC. The state of Nevada offers complete protection to the officials, agents and members of the LLC, in case of a lawsuit filed against them. In order to operate a limited liability company in Nevada, an operative agreement is necessary. The operating agreement defines the nature of business, general operation and conduct of the affairs, of the company. This agreement also outlines the voting powers of each member and the buy-sell requirements that govern the stand taken by the company in case of members want to sell their interest.An LLC operating agreement enables the business owners to constitute their financial and professional relationships with their partners and employees. The operating agreement establishes the percentage of ownership of each partner in the LLC and the distribution of profit, along with the responsibilities assigned to each one of them. It is good to have the operating agreement properly documented and signed by all members. This helps in avoiding confusion and misunderstanding, as it specifies the limited liability status clearly. The operating agreement also addresses the line of action in the case of a partner's death, disability or exit from the company.The main rationale behind creating an operating agreement is that, it enables the business owners to prove their limited personal liability status in a court of law. A formal, written operating agreement lends credibility to the existence of a limited liability company.Business owners can obtain the services of a professional attorney to draft the operating agreement. They can take a look at sample agreements and model their own operating agreement on those, in accordance with the laws of the state. Software is available
Is your resume dead? Don’t be so quick to say, “No way!” Of the hundreds of resumes I’ve seen written by job seekers of all backgrounds and educational levels, easily 95% qualify to be labelled as dead-but-not-yet-buried.
A dead resume lacks a clear structure or chronology, does not present or quantify achievements, fails to offer a “big picture” of what you would bring to the employer and is impersonal rather than expressive. Worse yet, a dead resume fails to win you the response you’re hoping for from the employer: an invitation for a job interview.
To win more job interviews and dramatically increase the quality of opportunities your resume can help you attract, strip your resume down to bare bones and resurrect it using the same techniques professional resume writers use to reposition job seekers whose own job search campaigns have failed to yield the results they need.
Problem #1: Resume Lacks Structure
You cannot create a resume without first creating a structure for it. Resumes are complicated documents that include different types of information which they communicate to different types of readers. If your resume has a poor structure it will make no sense to the reader; he or she will simply discard your resume and move on the next one in the pile, and you will count yourself lucky to even get a rejection letter.
Solution #1: Create A Strong Skeleton For Your Resume
Be as specific as possible in the content you want to communicate.
Match your content to the job you are applying for and the industry you seek to enter.
Avoid jargon yet be sure to use industry-specific key words.
Organize and sequence all of your dates and details. You didn’t edit, then write and then initiate; you initiated, then wrote and then edited.
List dates chronologically but in reverse order.
Combine like skills together.
Choose a resume style (chronological, functional, skills-based combination) that highlights your accomplishments.
List resume sections with most important section first, least important section last and all other sections in their appropriate place in between those two poles. Education should rarely be listed first unless you seek work either in academia or in a field where education is paramount, such as in medicine.
Be consistent in how you record information. Begin bulleted sentences and phrases with the same parts of speech. Give the same level of detail in all resume sections. Use first person for verbs, not second. It is inappropriate to refer to yourself in the second person as if you are someone else: “Resolves customer complaints promptly,” really means, “Mary resolves customer complaints promptly.” To imply, “I resolve customer complaints promptly,” say, “Resolve customer complaints promptly.”
Double check all your details. Edit your resume at least three times yourself, then invite knowledgeable others to edit it as well. Then edit it again yourself, this time reading the whole document backwards, word by word. Do not rely on spell checkers to do this for you - they are only as thorough as you are!
Problem #2: Resume Contains No Substance
Many job seekers write a resume with structure but no substance, with a skeleton but no muscles. Remember that your resume is your brochure; its job is to highlight your best qualities and credentials, downplay your weaknesses and sell the reader on the idea of interviewing you. To accomplish this you must layer details and specific examples into your key resume sections.
Solution #2: Layer Achievement Muscles Onto Your Resume Skeleton
Highlight the most vital points.
Add deeper levels of detail; articulate clearly and succinctly.
Tell success stories with brevity and power.
Make each word count.
Use graphics and bold, underline, or italics to draw your reader’s eyes to what you most want them to read.
Describe results and outcomes to sell your highest level of achievement.
Apply a journalism technique to craft powerful success stories. What did you do? How did you do it? Why? With and for whom? Where? When? What results did you achieve? Answer these questions fully on separate paper, then edit your story until it fits into 1-2 sentences and insert it in your resume. Use the original expanded version of your story to share verbally with employers in interviews.
Characterize all numbers in their most powerful and realistic form. Let’s say you cashiered at a grocery store and closed out your register with an average of $1000 daily. Let’s also say that you worked five days a week. Multiply that $1000 times five days per week and it becomes $5000 weekly; or $20,000 monthly, if your prefer.
Put yourself in your reader’s shoes and anticipate their questions, concerns and objections. Be honest in your assessment of your weaknesses and proactive in your defense against questions about them. If you know you lack specific experience, then go out of your way to translate your background into language and skill sets a potential employer will want to hear.
What assumptions do you fear an employer will make about you? That you’re too old? Too young? Inexperienced? Overqualified? Build resume muscles on these specific issues by challenging assumptions before they can be raised.
Use action verbs and concrete, quantifiable nouns. Avoid passive verbs. Use verbs that communicate to your reader’s senses and create the impression of action.
Avoid vague terms like “several”, “many” and “some”; try specific numbers or number ranges instead.
Choose verbs and nouns that demonstrate the highest level of skill you have achieved.
