In order to do what you love, you need to know what you love. And so the basic question of the day is always, “What do you love to do?” For many, “I like to help people,” is the first answer that comes to mind. “What else do you love to do?” I might ask. Let’s say you reply that "I like to write." Going deeper, I might ask: “ What is it that most satisfies you in your writing life?”

As a professional resume writer, I don't like to admit this, but the resume is going the way of gray suit, the fax machine, and the generous pension plan. No, the resume isn't in danger of immediate extinction. But it is certainly endangered. Resumes are a relic of a traditional employment recruiting process in which employers needed a standard way of comparing numerous prospects for open job positions sight unseen. By reviewing a short summary of qualifications and work history, employers could weed out the unqualified candidates and find the most qualified ones.

Ah. After much hard work, your resume is beautiful! You've spent countless hours (and perhaps a chunk of change) perfecting both its content and appearance and now you're ready to send it out to fulfill its primary duty--landing you an interview. Or several. And fast. What you may not realize, however, is that the first interview is about to begin--the 10-second interview where the recipient of your resume quickly and perhaps even unconsciously begins evaluating your candidacy based solely on *how* you've applied for the job.

"Should I Lie About My Age On a Resume?" * I am too old * I've never managed anyone directly * I don't have Microsoft Excel experience * I have a job gap from 2002-2004 You'll never see these above items on a resume because the purpose of the resume is to put your best foot (or feet) forward and to downplay your potential weaknesses. Adding an easy reference to your age is the same thing as saying "I am an older adult." Unfortunately, this can be viewed as a weakness by many hiring managers and recruiters.

ASCII (pronounced ask-ee) stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. So what's that mean? Computers can only read numbers. Technically speaking, ASCII is a numerical representation of the letters, digits, punctuation marks, and other symbols used in conversational English. It was created in 1968 to allow data processors to "talk" to each other and, although it's been upgraded, ASCII continues to be the "alphabet" almost all computers use to communicate.

There's a widespread frustration held by business executives that their resumes' cannot adequately describe "the real me."

As the saying goes, "you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression." People tend to form judgments based on what they see and hear during the first few seconds. Extended contact may modify their initial judgment but probably won't change it significantly. In terms of job or career changes, this means you need to consider carefully how you present yourself. Clients typically think of this in relation to interviews, which is certainly important, but waiting until then to focus on it would be a big mistake.

I was captivated by a CNN interview with an unemployed father named Eric Bell. Mr. Bell was laid off and immediately took the shotgun approach to job hunting that I passionately argue against.

It seems no matter how good we have it, we all want a better job. That means keeping track of job listings, networking, tracking down leads, analyzing potential employers and scheduling interviews. But these depend on other people, word of mouth, and the quality and quantity of job postings available at any given time. Only your resume gives you total control over how you're perceived by potential employers. It doesn't have to be a passive job listing with subjective information on why you think you're a great and wonderful person (which of course you are).

The cover letter - sometimes known as an application letter for employment - literally covers, or is placed first, over your presented or mailed resume.

As the holidays are rapidly approaching, we tend to get wrapped up in the busy-ness of the times, rushing around with all the activities, meetings, parties, shopping, and cooking. Rather than the materialistic perspective, we should be taking some time to take stock of our lives, to feel the gratitude for all the blessings we have in our lives. No matter what your circumstances are, there are always things you can be grateful for in your life. Appreciation is a way of giving thanks to our higher Source.

Acceptance is the Key to Freedom God grant me the serenity tornaccept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

But it is certainly easier said than done! Acceptance doesn’t mean not taking action and working towards your goal—it means understanding that all hardships have lessons for us to learn.

Professional achievements and skills are two elements that must be included when developing your resume. Without them, you will only have a boring list of companies and job duties that you performed. This lack of strategy will not entice a potential employer to read your resume; not in this job market!

The schedule and the passengers challenge me in ways I never could have imagined. But nothing beats hanging out in Las Vegas for 24 hours with a company-paid hotel room and expense money.

However, if you think back to your past resolutions, it's likely that many of them were driven by a need to curb or eliminate certain behaviors — “quit” smoking, spend “less” money, “lose” weight. How depressing! Instead, how about focusing on positive changes that would naturally yield your desired end results?

Transitions occur in our every day life and it is a known fact that when properly managed, change results in our personal growth and development. However, our human nature tends to resist change and we feel more comfortable with the familiar. In fact those indefinable moments of life transitions often leave us emotionally sapped. What more, even though challenging, you may have finally overcome the first phase of change. You may have acknowledged and accepted that your previous way of life is gone. You may have taken solid actions towards establishing a new pathway of life.

I've talked to dozens of aspiring consultants and freelancers who delay, hesitate, and sometimes never start their business because they believe they have to be an expert to be a consultant or freelancer. WRONG. You do NOT need to be an expert to have a profitable consulting or freelance business. This isn't a scam, and I'm not telling you to misrepresent yourself to clients. On the contrary: you should always be honest and act with integrity in your business--that's how you build a sustainable, profitable business. But, you don't need to be an expert.

Life is full of changes and transitioning from one stage or position to another is a natural part of daily living.

As I reflect back on my 23+ years in the restaurant business, I’ve seen a necessary trend slowly taking place.

Statistics show the average person can expect to change jobs three to five times in his or her lifetime. The typical restaurant manager will do so even more often. One reason for all these career changes is that restaurant managers often don't make informed choices. Often times many restaurant managers end up simply working for the company that responded to their resume. Perhaps little to no effort was put into researching the concept’s growth potential, culture, direction, or style of management its leadership prefers.

The age old debate; is it what you know or who you know that is most important. I would say that 100% of the time who you know can and will open more doors for you than what you know. If you are looking to change fields, get that big promotion or sidestep into a new industry knowing the right people is going to take you all the way. Bob Burg takes it one step further when he says 'it isn't just what you know, and it isn't just who you know. It's actually who you know, who knows you, and what you do for a living'.

One of the key things that you need during the interview process is confidence. Confidence in your abilities, confidence in your fit for the role, confidence that the Company are making a good choice when they interview you for this role. This should not be confused with arrogance which is of course a different thing entirely. CONFIDENCE is generally described as a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective.

You have been asked to do a presentation. You have plenty of time to prepare. So where do you start, how do you make it interesting and yourself confident enough to pull it off with style? The first thing to give some thought to is the topic (if you have one). The time limit you have been given to present in and the props or tools you are to use. I would then mull it over for at least twenty-four hours and make notes of anything that comes to mind. That will give you the ideas for your outline.

Time was that being ‘old’ in the job market meant 70, maybe 60. Now, when you hit 40, you can be considered ‘over the hill.’ It’s mostly because of stereotypes. Even though people are living longer and healthier lives, employers still worry that an older employee will cost more money for healthcare. They also believe, wrongly, that older employees won’t understand technology. Many organizations think that people who didn’t grow up in the digital world can’t or won’t adapt fast enough.
