Listing A Hobby On Your CV Or Resume

noreply@blogger.com (Sugiex) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:45:22 PST

t is becoming more common for people to be asked what their favourite hobby or pastime is on a job application form
. It is therefore advisable to include a section on your interests and any hobby that you are actively engaged in on your CV or Resume too. This helps to differentiate your application from all others that have similar experience and qualifications
as you do. A hobby can be used as a great ice-breaker at interviews too and you may find yourself discussing your skydiving exploits more than your previous job. Obviously the more unusual the hobby the better as it is likely to make an impact on anyone reading your CV and be a point of interest that helps the reader remember your application over another.

It is important, wherever possible, to list hobbies or interests that clearly demonstrate relevant skills and accomplishments that are appropriate for the job your resume is being considered for. Obviously, if you are applying to be a cook for a company you would want to list cooking as one of your hobbies. This may seem an obvious point but you could also highlight other areas of the same hobby such as researching recipes or jam making for example.

It is advisable to be selective about the number of hobbies you list. If it seems that your time is taken up with a myriad of different activities a potential employer may reject your application for fear that you may never be available for overtime work if necessary.

Another possible impact of your choice of hobby may be if it involves a lot of travel or long hours. The potential employer may feel that your hobby would have an adverse effect on your ability to hold down a long term position and may think you are just trying to fit in work around your hobby and not the other way round.

Whatever you do, don't make up a hobby purely to get a job. If you say you are a chess player, to indicate that you are a logical thinker and forward planner that is great if it's true but beware, you may find that you are challenged to a game by your boss and be rumbled on the first day!

Why Do People Leave Their Job?

noreply@blogger.com (Sugiex) — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 11:17:00 PST

Experience- Based Retention

Is it because of money? Benefits? The fact they believe there are no real opportunities for them at the company?

While many might argue about which of the above has more impact on whether or not a person decides to jump ship, attempting to identify the main overall culprit is probably the least productive approach to increasing retention. Why? Because while studies may show that one factor carries more weight than another, those same studies also show that all of the factors have the ability to influence people to some degree. So that means by focusing solely on the main culprit - whatever it might be your retention plan is only as good as the number of people in your company who are primarily affected by that factor. Which means that it's nowhere close to being 100% effective.

People and Situations

Are you going to retain every person you hire? Of course not. The key is to retain those people you want to retain, those employees who make a difference and contribute a tremendous amount to the company in numerous ways. And in order to retain those superstar employees, you have to consider what kind of experience you're providing to them. Life is nothing more than a series of experiences, and people respond to them in a rather predictable fashion. They strive to avoid negative experiences, and they tend to gravitate toward positive ones. That rule certainly applies to people. After all, people provide an experience, don't they? I'm sure you could identify people in your life who provide negatives experiences and people who provide positive ones.

Which ones do you try to avoid?

The same holds true for an employment situation. If people aren't receiving a positive experience in their job, they're going to try to find a new one. The challenge is to ensure that they're receiving that positive experience. However, there are two aspects of this challenge to keep in mind: Experiences are very person-specific. In other words, what one person believes is a positive experience might not be the case for another person. Employees are not apt to come right out and tell you what constitutes a positive experience for them. Unless you have a very outgoing and highly communicative person on your team, you'll have to gather that information yourself.

Productivity and Profitability

As you might imagine, there are many different components to an experience, especially an employment experience. The good news is that there are ways to not only account for all of them, but also to ensure that you're addressing them in a way that will create positive experiences with your team and increase retention. In future issues, we're going to identify and discuss these different components, how they affect the overall employment experience and why, and how your understanding of them can help you to maximize the productivity - not to mention the profitability of your team.

Tips to Help Balance Career and Family

noreply@blogger.com (Sugiex) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:11:00 PST

Megan Hazel

Whether you are male or female, a mom or a dad, balancing career and family can be really difficult. When you're a woman, though, the choices you have to make seem especially difficult and the responsibilities all the more great. For some reason, women are guilt-ridden with their career decisions and the choices they make about working while trying to raise their children, providing nutritious meals for their family, keeping a respectable house and keeping their husbands happy. Last on the list, of course, is finding some time for themselves. So how does a woman find time to actually feel happy with her daily activities while keeping up with all of the responsibility?

First, take time to smell the roses! Literally, you can take time to smell the roses but you can actually do this with no flowers in sight. Every day, try to look around and appreciate what you have, taking in the sounds of your child's laughter, the wag of your dog's tail, the special glance of your husband as you tell a funny joke. Sometimes, the knowledge of what you have on your plate for the day will feel overwhelming, but a little perspective goes a long way. It may be a clich and a very tired phrase, but it truly does work. People tend to get lost in the mundane, day-to-day "functioning" instead of really living their lives. For example, next time you are worried about fitting in your exercise with your child's play date at Little Gym, forego the Little Gym and head out with your son or daughter for a run. Strap the little one in the jog stroller or if he or she is old enough, ask them to put on the running shoes with Mommy and head outside! Once outside, you can literally stop to smell the roses. Just a few minutes of gratitude a day will work wonders for your soul and automatically make your life feel more balanced.

Along these same lines, try and give yourself some "me" time once a week. Once a week may not seem like much, but if you really allow yourself to soak it in and enjoy the time spent, it will make the stress of all of the rest of the hectic days melt away. Take a good block of time on a Saturday or Sunday - 2 hours, maybe - and mark this time in your calendar in pen, not pencil. Keep a standing appointment with yourself, and honor it as you would any other. Think you are too busy on a weekend to do this? You will feel much more productive the rest of the weekend allowing yourself this little refresher', rather than trying to cram some time in on a random Tuesday or other weeknight. For this special time, you can book a massage or a facial at your favorite spa. Take a couple of hours to go window shopping at your favorites stores, by yourself or with a friend. Take in a matinee with a couple of girlfriends. If your husband is willing to fly solo on a Saturday night, you can even book a girls' night out once in a while and truly let loose! Even if your budget doesn't allow for these activities once a week, you can lock yourself in the bathroom with a good book, a bubble bath and a nice glass of wine and feel good about your time alone - you deserve some!

Probably the most obvious way to balance career and family is to incorporate your family into what would otherwise be "work time". If you have a short commute to work, for example, perhaps you can drive your kids to school each morning instead of having them take the bus. In the alternative, you could have your morning cup of coffee at the bus stop with them and spend a few minutes chatting about their day and what they plan to learn in school as you sip your cup of Joe and breathe in the morning air to mentally prepare for your own day ahead. If you normally exercise in the morning and leave the house very early, switch your workout time to lunch and leave the office to go to the gym, eating at your desk when you get back. You will have more time with your family each day and get a healthy break from your pile of papers to boot.

You may need to get a little creative with your schedule, but there are definitely ways to help balance career and family. Sometimes an extra few minutes each day or a once-weekly good block of time can go a long way in helping restore your peace of mind and help you feel less harried.

Why Do You Need To Fully Understand On Your Job Description?

noreply@blogger.com (Sugiex) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 17:50:11 PST

By: Yusuf Anto

Many senior workers and even freshly graduated employees will jump into jobs without knowing their job description clearly. Many of these fresh graduates and other workers are just glad to have gotten a job and will try to avoid being to nosy or pushy when it comes to work. Why? They may think that ‘demanding’ a job description will be an added negative to their employer’s impression of them.

Employers, in general, delight in employees that ask about their job description. This shows that the employee has an interest in knowing the specifics of his or her job and would like to know what his or her specific responsibilities are. Here are a few other reasons why job description are very important to the employees and even to those who are searching for jobs.

Knowledge of Duties job description will furnish you with a list of your responsibilities and duties. This will ensure that you know what jobs you are supposed to do and which jobs you are not supposed to do. Just "guessing" is not an option. However, you may be trying to do your best doing jobs that are not your duty and responsibility to perform. The result of which, on paper, is that you are not doing your job. If you end up doing jobs that are not in your job description. You will not be credited with those jobs.
Prevent Being Taken Advantage Of There will be instances when as an employee you will be asked to do specific duties that are not in your job responsibility. It is perfectly legal to point to your job description and say that the particular job does not fall under yours. You will, of course, have to do this politely. You may, of course, choose to do these duties. However, make it clear that what you are doing is not within your job scope. You and your manager may then choose to talk about whether these duties should be included and the proper remuneration for such.
What Matters to Your Employer is Paper There have been countless employees who have come forth saying, "we did our best, worked over time, and gave our all, but did not receive the proper acknowledgment." Unfortunately, employers will be too busy to keep track of your performance. You may have to submit reports on your progress and performance. This, of course, should be based on your job description or else it will not make any sense to your employer.

Preparing a Curriculum Vitae

noreply@blogger.com (Sugiex) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 13:59:35 PST

by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.

Vitas and resumes both have similar purposes -– as marketing documents that provide key information about your skills, experiences, education, and personal qualities that show you as the ideal candidate. Where a resume and a curriculum vitae differ is their use, format, and length. This article will help with your writing and preparing your vita.

A curriculum vitae -– often called a CV or vita -- tends to be used more for scientific and teaching positions than a resume. Thus, vitas tend to provide great detail about academic and research experiences. Where resumes tend toward brevity, vitas lean toward completeness.
Unlike resumes, there is no set format to vitas. While this article will provide a few links to free samples vitas, it is best to also discuss any special formatting your field requires with a mentor or trusted member of your network. There are also a few books that provide much more depth on the subject -- and they can be found at the end of this article.
While vitas do not have the one-page rule of resumes, you need to walk the line between providing a good quality of depth to showcase your qualifications and attract potential employer interest and providing too much information thus appearing verbose and turning off potential employer interest.
Ready to Begin Preparing Your CV?
Typical vita categories or headings may include some or all of the following:
Personal/Contact Information
--name--address--phone number(s)--email
Academic Background
--postgraduate work--graduate work/degree(s), major/minors, thesis/dissertation titles, honors--undergraduate degree(s), majors/minors, honors

However many take these for granted, with the eloquence of having an “impressive resume” they forgot that applicants will not only be examined based on the job experience and personality but also with how they present themselves professionally.

Here are the top 20 tips in dressing for an interview

1. Research if the company or your potential employer have a specific dress code.
2. If your planning to buy new clothes, get good advice from sales persons.
3. Have the clothes altered to fit and accent your features.
4. Select an outfit that you have worn before and are comfortable wearing
5. Your hair should be clean and neat.

Job hunters should think first all the requirements before going to an interview, from the resume to his/her diploma. They must be ready to answer the question exquisitely. So if you want to have a job career in the future, you should consider these suggestion for you to succeed.

How To Find A Job Through Recruitment Agencies?

noreply@blogger.com (Sugiex) — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 21:52:35 PST

There are several ways where your can find a job, like newspapers ads, online recruitment agencies etc। But most of them prefer to find a job through recruitment agencies as it is very convenient for them। These organizations are very helpful for most of the people in finding a right job. A good certified recruiting agency will frequently been approached by large firms, because they will be in need of staffs.
These agencies provide a great advantage to both the jobseeker and the company. Because they help in finding the right candidate for the company who suits their business needs and at the same time the jobseeker also gets the right job which he/she needs. This eradicates the tiring job hunting and interviews. So if you want to find good employees for your firm recruitment agencies are the best place to search for.
One major benefit from these for both the employer and the company is, employees will be inspected by the agency to judge how appropriate they are for the positions. Companies can provide a job description to the recruitment agency so that the agency can sort out throughout the data bases of job finders to seek the ideal candidate who suits your company.
Recruitment firms only have access to a small percentage of the available jobs out there; in fact many are not advertised or are hidden. It is estimated that up to 80% of jobs are hidden as only 10% of positions ever make their way into the hands of recruitment companies. And given the proliferation of agencies vying for a share of the lucrative commissions, at best even the largest, most well-resourced recruitment firm has only 2% of the job market in a job seekers sector. But herein lays the bigger problem. As the job seeker is not the one paying the recruiters, they are not the recruiter's number one priority.
So, there are few things you must keep in mind when you are finding a job through a recruitment agency. You must not pay them for their services, as the employers will already pay them off to find them an ideal candidate. And the second thing is to design a perfect CV (Curriculum Vitae) to find you a right job, and another thing is to maintain a good relationship with some of the recruitment agencies, because this will ensure you get selected for interviews.
Therefore if you are trying to find a job through a recruitment agencies, you must have a healthy relationship with them by phone, e-mail or directly. So if you are trying to get in to the golden opportunity be in contact and pass on your needs to the agent anyway, make sure they recognize your future desires and plans.

But doesn't imitate others resume who then you applies at you resume, because each and everyone differs in and has each individual. With great possibility you will get difficulty when you are asked to explains detailedly description which you imitates. Experience express that in general faker can give answer, but explanation doesn't reach target. You must present resume matching with your own qualification.
Resume variance

Equally, doesn't create mine in your resume or covers letter. For example you writes down, " I am competent and unique".

Why Do You Need A Resume?

noreply@blogger.com (Sugiex) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:12:21 PST

Part 2

These can all be important items in today's job market, and you cannot count on a job application to let you include all you want. If you get an interview, then you have a chance to tell more about yourself. But, let the resume help to get that interview.And, unless you are interviewing with a large company that has a H.R. department, you will probably not have a trained interviewer. By providing a resume, you give the interviewer things to ask you about. Things that you know about. Things that you have answers for. Things that you want to be asked about. In a sense - you can control part of the interview by providing a resume.Your resume can be very flexible. With the use of word processing, you can cut & paste your resume to fit any need. So, you don't need to worry about a generic resume. You can easily modify it to fit any job.Here's one final example of why you need a resume.A few years ago, the retail store I managed needed a cashier. The position was for 30-35 hours a week and only paid $6.50 per hour. The store is in a college town, so most of the applicants are students. This time, one of the applicants turned in a resume with the application.The resume clearly showed that she was severely overqualified for the cashier position. But, she met the qualifications for a Manager Trainee. So, I called her and asked if she would be interested in a management position at one of our other stores. The position required relocation, which she was not able to do. But, she did become aware of her qualifications for retail management.

Career Objective: Required or no?

noreply@blogger.com (Sugiex) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 02:11:58 PST

Career Objective always is put down in the early of resume writing. Is with writing of career objective gives information which good for your resume reader? Does proper inform to reader does you wish? Isn't it true the thing can limit opportunity of job(activity applicant to get interview for position of the other?

There is no answer definitive which directly to tell yes or no. The thing depended from purpose of the job(activity applicant which will differ from other job(activity applicant. Some weakness if we start writing of resume by writing down "Career Objective" which really considered by the applicant are:

Target of position wanted if it is written down too detail will limit you to get offer for better position.
Industry which you would [go] to might not can give opportunity which you to wish.
Career profile and/or detail of work ( Job description) you actually has explained work area which you elaborates, and writing " Career Objective" actually was not required again or the thing would was repetition will which you explain in career profile and/or detail of your work. The thing will be able to lessen value in resume reader eye which will assume you are inefficient worker type.
Candidate employer more is alive to applicant which can offer flexibillity in the job responsibility.
Statement of Objective which too clearly can give arrogant impression or you are undesire to adapt with new challenge.
But Objective which too wide also able to give impression that you cannot explain area which you to master.

Seems to writing "Career Objective" more givingly is impact negative compared to positive impact, and you possibly allows for not to mention the thing at you resume. But doesn't quickly takes conclusion. What if your career profile at the moment cannot explain in whose precise you and will which you plan to do you career forwards? What if you minim still job experience would be certain but you hardly wishs to concentrate on the area? What if you had expertise at external certain area from does you do at the moment is wishing you to develop? What if you of course liked to more focussed target of you career forwards?

As conclusion, "Career Objective" plays more in explaining desire the applicant. Does You feel require more detailed explanation to can explain purpose of you at your resume reader and question does better apply "Career Objective" or not at you resume are depend on situation of you at the moment.

Why Do You Need A Resume?

Part One

Unless you're a professional, or management level, the position you apply for may not require a resume. Most businesses have their own applications. This is the only item they need when you apply for a job. Why then, would you need to give them a resume?To put it as briefly as possible, it's your opportunity to tell your own story. You can say things on your resume that you just can't on a job application. In other words, toot your own horn.An application may not ask about software applications you can use. It may not ask about your strong points, such as organization skills. The application may not ask you about all your relevant job experience. It may only ask about your previous employer.Just this past week, I was visiting a Human Resources Department for a rather large employer. A person was there who had applied for many jobs over a several month period. An employee tried to explain why the applicant might not be being called for interviews.She explained that the biggest complaint from the supervisors who did the hiring was - not enough information on the application. They could not tell if the applicants had the experience to meet the qualifications. In the "previous employment" section of the application, there was barely enough space to write one or two sentences in the box, "describe your duties in this job."Obviously, you cannot explain what you did with any detail in such a limited space. This is where a resume comes into play. Use your resume to expand on these, as well as other items:· Summary of your qualifications· Any specific computer or software knowledge· Additional & expanded employment history· Special training or courses that apply to your field· Education

Preparing a Curriculum Vitae:

Preparing a Curriculum Vitae: Proven Success Strategies
Printer-Friendly Version
by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.
Vitas and resumes both have similar purposes -– as marketing documents that provide key information about your skills, experiences, education, and personal qualities that show you as the ideal candidate. Where a resume and a curriculum vitae differ is their use, format, and length. This article will help with your writing and preparing your vita.
A curriculum vitae -– often called a CV or vita -- tends to be used more for scientific and teaching positions than a resume. Thus, vitas tend to provide great detail about academic and research experiences. Where resumes tend toward brevity, vitas lean toward completeness.
Unlike resumes, there is no set format to vitas. While this article will provide a few links to free samples vitas, it is best to also discuss any special formatting your field requires with a mentor or trusted member of your network. There are also a few books that provide much more depth on the subject -- and they can be found at the end of this article.
While vitas do not have the one-page rule of resumes, you need to walk the line between providing a good quality of depth to showcase your qualifications and attract potential employer interest and providing too much information thus appearing verbose and turning off potential employer interest.
