One thing that drives me nuts.

The employer or recruiter has your resume, but still expects you to fill out a long job application, or visa versa. They have your job application, but also want a Resume or CV. Seems like its like they are checking off boxes even if the request is a waste of time for you and them. Sort of like a teacher who sends home, home work for the sake of home work. Even if its not related to the work done in class.

The Resume

I have been shown a number of resumes with poor grammar and errors in spelling. Some of these individuals have degrees from prestigious colleges and universities. They were immediately disqualified. I am recently retired and no longer have to send out my resume. Please take my advice and thoroughly proofread your resume before sending it to potential employers. This may make the difference in landing you your dream job, sending you on your way to a long and successful career.

Business Analyst/Project Manager

Resumes are kept short and concise in order to make the selection process "easier" for the hiring company. Understandable. However, that makes it difficult to showcase the character, integrity, grit and passion of a candidate. I have found in my 23 year professional career that the best companies to work for have been the ones willing to focus time and energy on getting to know their candidates and their willingness to take the chance on candidates (includes my peers) that are willing to use their strengths outside their documented skill sets in order to become successful and impact the business. The critical question is...how does this "perfect" match come together? In my opinion, it takes flexibility on both parts. Companies need to learn how to change the paradigm and think outside the resume box. Candidates need to invest in themselves and learn ways to become unique and marketable. Hiring and getting hired is the biggest challenge in today's workplace. Nothing is rocket science, well except rocket science, and can be learned. Let's do this together to work toward a common goal of success!

How can I revise my title?

I'm looking for feedback about how I can resolve a resume issue regarding title. After being laid off from my previous job, I accepted a position earlier this year at a large corporation. I immediately realized it was the wrong culture and wrong role so I am job hunting again. The problem is my current title does not accurately reflect the level of work I perform nor that of my previous roles. I previously held Director and above roles and this one is a manager role even though I am performing director-level work (team management, strategy development, budgeting, hiring, firing etc). Any ideas of how I can reposition my title (the description will appropriately define my senior-level responsibilities) so I don't get excluded for appropriate level roles because of my current title?

What Skills?

When somebody says the word “skills” what’s the first thing that come to mind? Can you name 3 of your strongest work skills?

Courageous Leadership in Business

I'm studying this morning for my leadership class again. I just found my library books. I want to apologize to those here on Jobcase that sought my resume help who couldn't pay and I didn't know how to bend my policy. If you can't pay for example no credit or debit card or afraid I could be a scammer, I'm not trying to hurt anyone. I have donated some money to charity but I needed some money for groceries too. I turned down Kohls job to help you all with your resume. So why would a risk taker like me admit my mistakes a d be honest? Because I am courageous. I am here to help you even though I am working solo right now running my little company, like an fruitful seed it will grow in time. Is anyone here good at Marketing or Advertising? Please email me, I need help. Not sure how I can pay someone yet but I'm falling behind on fixing resumes because of administration duties fall on me too. I've been sick too. If you need assistance please email me or call me. My primary email is lkerriganfree@gmail.com But my gmail is overloaded so I'm trying to switch over to my yahoo account. Thank you all for being there for me encouraging me to keep doing the right thing. God bless, Lucinda Kerrigan owner of Resume Diva Company, Carbondale, IL (618) 751-6355 cell Now part of Books and Stitches. #advertising #courage #Leadership #marketing #resumes
