The 7 Ingredients of a Well-Written Entry-Level Résumé
The 7 Ingredients of a Well-Written Entry-Level RsumThe 7 Ingredients of a Well-Written Entry-Level RsumWriting arsumis rarely fun but having a goodrsumready to go is critical to job-seeking success. Arsumservesmany purposes. Obviously, it displays pertinent contact information and an overview of your skills andexperience. It also is one of the best ways to display a job seekers commitment to her career, writing/editing skills, level of detail orientation and overall professional sophistication. As a new graduate, even with limited out-of-the-classroom experience, it is still possible to maximize the criticalfirst impression. Here are seven ways to make more ofyour entry-levelrsum.1. Font and point size. Your choice in font and point size is the first thing an employer sees. Make sure to choose a style that visually matches the level of professionalism of your selected industry. Arial, Times New Roman and Calibri are popular choices. Other selections are fine, but make sure your cho ice doesnt make yourrsumlook too casual ortrendy. A 10-point size is commonly used. You can go a little smaller or larger, but remember that less than 9 is usually hard for the eyes, and larger than 11 makes is obvious that youre trying to compensate for a lack of content.2. Contact information. Emphasize your personenname by making it several point sizes larger than everything else on yourrsumandin bold. Include your phone number, your email address and your LinkedIn public profile address. These days, including your physical address is preferred but no longer a must, particularly if youre running low on space. If youstill liveon campus but yourelooking to work in a neighboring city or back home, try to include the address closest to the work location. Make sure the layout of your contact information is symmetrical and doesnt waste valuable space at the top of the page. Also, use only email addresses that paint a professional picture of you. Whatupdawggmail.com is less likely to ge t a recruiters call for that accounting position than johndoe123gmail.com.3. Objective. Only include an objective if its specific regarding position type and possibly timing. For example, Targeting internship roles in social media marketing for the aufgabe of 2014 is helpful and targeted. Writing Looking for a role in a great company where I can apply my educational background in a dynamic environment is generic and not a good use of space. The top third of yourrsumis often all that is seen if it is opened on a mobile device, so make the most ofthat space. If you dont have a specific objective, skip it all together to allow room for other important details.4. Summary. A summary is helpful to provide a two to three sentence overview of a larger or very diverse track record of work experience, projects and professional skills. This is most often used with more experienced professionals who have years of experience and should be customized for each position for which you apply. Most ne w graduates dont have enough content to require a summary. As with the objective, generic or clich-filled summaries should be avoided as they dont assist the reader in determining your candidacy and waste valuable visual space.5. Education. Typically, the greatest accomplishment for most entry-level job seekers is their college degree. List your education as close to the top of arsum, andinclude your GPA if its 3.3 or higher. You may also include RELEVANTcoursework, based on the role to which youre applying. Dont feel the need to list all of your courses if they will not aide a recruiter in determining that youre prepared for their role. Most new graduates should not include high school graduation information after their second year of college. The only exception would be someone who has exemplary pre-college education that is professionally relevant or may give an advantage in networking with alums from a certain school. 6. Experience. Include internships, volunteering and other r elevant out-of-the-classroom experiences. To determine relevancy, look at the targeted job description to see the top three to five required skills or experiences for the role. Now, reflect on your background to think of what you have done that would show you have that background. Include these with descriptions that highlight your accomplishments. Do your best to customize your descriptions to the position requirements. Also remember that most employers are looking for basic traits of problem solving ability, communication skills, drive/initiative, leadership and certain technical skills that match their needs. Make sure to highlight how your past allowed you to learn or demonstrate these traits. 7. Skills. The ability to use specific software or knowledge of desirable technical processes is a great differentiator for qualified candidates. Include a skills section that lists your software and relevant technical skills. Overall, write strategically. Its no secret that everyone is busy these days. When crafting yourrsumthe first rule to rememberis My audience is busy and has a very short attention span. It is very possible that the reviewer willbe on the phone, in between Words with Friends and writing his to-do list while also reviewing yourrsum. OK, maybe he will only be doing two things at once, but rest assured yourrsumwill notreceivesomeones undivided attention most of the time. Recognizing this is important to writing just the critical, attention-getting facts. And last, but certainly not least, print out and proofread your document. A seasoned hiring manager can see skipped spaces, different dash sizes in dates, and misspellings in seconds. Dont let a careless error undo all of your effort. Your diligent attention to detail will differentiate yourrsumfrom the vast majority of entry-level job applicants.

Why quitters always win and losers never quit
Why quitters always win and losers never quitWhy quitters always win and losers never quitQuitters never win and winners never quit.These are the infamous words of legendary NFL coach, Vincent Lombardi, considered by many to be one the greatest coaches in American sport history.Almost half a century after his death, Lombardis words are still a good representation of what we believe about success today - that winners never give up and losers always quit.But, what if our beliefs about success are backwards?What if quitting could improve the odds of success and grit or perseverance could leave us worse off?The art of not losing moneyIn the business of trading, roughly 90% of day traders lose their money, whilst the remaining 10% make obscene amounts of money. 1Were talking hundreds of millions of dollars a year senfgas by the losers and gained by the winners.At some point in the 1980s, Jack Schwager, a renowned expert in futures trading (the buying and selling of an item in the future, based on an agreed price today), began his search for answers to what separates the winning traders from the losing pack.To solve this mystery, over the next twenty years or so, Schwager researched and interviewed the most successful traders of our time - including traders who had amassed billions of dollars, averaged 30 percent returns on their money each year for up to twenty-one years and grew thirty thousand dollars into eighty million dollars.After putting together his findings, Schwager discovered a common trait - aside from skill level - shared by the top traders.A common trait that provides some insight into a habit shared by highly successful people across all fields.The cost of get-there-itisOn one hazy, dark night in July of 1999, John F.Kennedy Jr.- the son of President John F.Kennedy - piloted the take off of a flight, en-route to Marthas Vineyard for the wedding of his cousin, Rory Kennedy.As Kennedy navigated the aircraft along the Connecticut coastline and over Rhode Island Sound, a sudden haze and darkness clouded his vision.Kennedy welches disoriented, he could no longer see what direction the plane was flying towards. And then, in a random series of maneuvers, he swiveled the plane to the right and the left, upwards, then downwards - all at varying speeds.A few miles from his final destination, Kennedy yperit control of the plane. Moments later, it crashed into the Atlantic Ocean.A couple of days afterwards, a rescue team of divers recovered the dead bodies of Kennedy and the passengers - his wife and sister-in-law.Since the tragic death of John F.Kennedy Jr, there have been several investigations into the possible causes of the plane crash.Some point the finger at the poor flight visibility caused by the hazy, dark weather condition. Others point to his inexperience of flying a plane in nighttime conditions.According to Dr. Douglas Lonnstrom, Siena College professor and experienced pilot, there is one standout possible cause - its c alled get-there-itis. 2Get-there-itis - a common word used and sometimes joked about by pilots - is the determination of a pilot to reach a destination, even when flying in conditions that are very dangerous.Lonnstrom alongside a good handful of experienced pilots suggest that Kennedy had been blinded by Get-there-itis on the day of the plane crash.Prior to takeoff, Kennedy had promised both his sister, Caroline, who was vacationing in Idaho with her family and his wife, Carolyn, that he would arrive at Marthas Vineyard that night and attend the wedding.Kennedy was determined to fulfill these promises and fly to the destination, despite two other pilots cancelling their flights due to the bad weather conditions.In the end, Kennedys Get-there-itis cost not only his life, but also the lives of his loved ones.If Kennedy had quit the flight plans, instead of persevering to reach his destination, three lives would have been saved on that day.Cutting your losses to win bigJust like Kenn edys determination to reach his destination, despite bad weather conditions, get-there-itis could also blind us in persevering towards achieving a goal, even when the costs outweigh the benefits.Aheadstrong determination to persist with a bad business idea, job, relationship, friendship and so on, could cost us much of our money, energy, health and time, which we can never get back.Once a significant amount of time, money and energy has been invested towards a goal, it becomes more difficult to quit, even though sticking to the goal could cost us as much, if not much more than what weve lost already. 3Winners avoid get-there-itis and pick the right moment to give up on a goal.In the world of trading,Schwager discovered that the common habit shared by the top traders was the ability to Cut your losses and let your profits run. sourceMarket Wizards Interviews with Top Traders(Audiobook)In the world of entrepreneurship, some of the most profitable businesses have been built, after the entrepreneur had quit on another idea and cut their losses.For example, the social media platform, Twitter, was apivotidea, built after the founders abandoned their podcasting company, Odeo.Other examples include YouTube, originally a dating site, eBay, originally a platform for selling PEZ dispensers and Google, which began as library book search engine.In the world of science, some of the most innovative inventions have been the sequel to a series of abandoned ideas and experiments.For example, Sir Alexander Fleming abandoned his search for a drug to cure diseases to later discover the powerful antibiotic, penicillin.What if these people refused to quit on their initial goals? What would the world look like today?In the book,The DipA Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick) (audiobook),entrepreneur, Seth Godin, makes a strong case that winners quit all the time - they just quit the right stuff at the right time.Winners quit on different things in their life, to create more time and energy todevote towards something more importantand rewarding to them.Quitting also has health benefits.According to psychologists Wrosch and Miller, goal disengagement- that is, giving up on our goals - could also improve overall well-being.During their one year-long study, which involved tracking the effects of goal umgebung on 90 teenagers, the psychologists discovered that the participants who refused to quit on unattainable goals experienced higher levels of inflammatory molecule C-reactive protein - a protein linked with heart disease and diabetes. 4Winners cut their losses to win big in life.Quitting like a winnerSome goals are worth sticking with and some arent.Sometimes, we have to let go of a business, friendship, relationship, job or idea, to make room for a better one - or in extreme situations, to choose life over death.Winners quit strategically. Theyre not afraid to quit, especiallywhen the costs of sticking with a goal outweigh the benefit s of pursuing a different one.Meanwhile, just like a fighting army that has already been defeated in warfare, losers keep persevering, instead of retreating and waving a white flag of surrender.In the end, quitters will always win and losers will never quit.Mayo Oshin writes atMayoOshin.com, where he shares practical self-improvement ideas and proven science for better health, productivity and creativity.To get practical ideas on how to stop procrastinating and build healthy habits, you can join his free weekly newsletterhere.A version of thisarticleoriginally appeared atmayooshin.comas The Upside of Quitting Why Quitters Always Win and Losers Never Quit.FootnotesThe actual percentage of traders who lose money varies depending on the source of information. Some sources suggest 95% or more lose money on average.Dr. Douglas Lonnstrom. JFK Jr. - 10 Years after the Crash, a Pilots Perspective.This is also known as the sunk cost fallacy. The more we emotionally invest into something, th e harder it becomes to abandon it.Miller, Gregory E., and Carsten Wrosch. Youve Gotta Know When to Fold Em Goal Disengagement and Systemic Inflammation in Adolescence. Psychological Science 18, no. 9 (2007) 77377.Grit also plays an important role in success. The argument here is that quitting the right goals and the right time, will create more time and energy to pursue better goals.

Girl Scouts Learn Engineering
Girl Scouts Learn Engineering Girl Scouts Learn Engineering Girl Scouts Learn EngineeringASME members and the Girl Scouts held a unique event at MIT on Saturday August 1 for twenty five Girl Scouts, aged 9-11. Dressed in their green uniforms with sashes full of badges, the girls became engineers for an afternoon and faced a challenge package a potato integrierter schaltkreis for shipping so it doesnt break. The girls were given a potato chip which was painted with food coloring to look like a butterfly. Next, forming teams of two, they began experimenting with bubble wrap, sticks, straws, paper clips, masking tape, scissors, sketching paper, and a ruler to engineer the best package for their butterfly potato chip. The STEM workshop, Dream, Design, Create Explore the World of Mechanical Engineering, also involved several ASME members and a dozen parents and scout leaders. The competition began. There was a lot of talking between the girls about how to solve the problem. Marcelle said, I want to learn about things that I never did before. I like to do chemistry, mixing stuff. Building a contraption not to break the potato chip is going to be hard. And her partner Jahnia added, I wanted to test out some new things I havent done before. I want to be an engineer to make my own things, build something with my hands. Using the materials, the girls began tackling the challenge. Some sketched out their konzepts others tried building their prototype one straw, stick and piece of bubble wrap at a time. As the clock ticked down, the girls designs emerged - all looking very different with pieces of bubble wrap going in every direction to protect the precious potato chip. Scouts wait to see if their potato chip will be crushed, or not. Then came the real test- could all their hard work and ingenuity help the chip survive when a book was dropped on it? One by one, each team eagerly brought their uniquely wrapped chip to the table and the anticipation built. As the scout leade r held the heavy book above the prototype, everyone held their breath. Down came the book crashing on the package Each team then rushed to unwrap theirs, but each time, the chip had been shattered. Charlotte de Vries, ASME member and assistant professor at Penn State University Erie, encouraged the girls not to be discouraged. We learned a lot today. We learned maybe we need mora tape or bubble wrap and maybe we need mora time to build our package. Sometimes it doesnt work and you have to do it again, again and again- thats part of being an engineer. The team of Kaleigh and Tanya didnt lose their enthusiasm. I already went to something like this before and it was really cool. I might want to be an engineer when I grow up because I like creating things. Working with more than one person is easiest because it helps you figure out which design is better, said Kaleigh. Tanya added, Its almost impossible not to break a chip in this project. I like things like 3D printing and egg drops an d I think its a lot of fun. My dad is engineer at GE. The next experiment was the Lets get energized project. Again, acting like engineers, they had to determine which kind of insulation would conserve the most energy and keep their house warmest in the winter. The materials this time were pieces of polyester, aluminum foil, a cotton t-shirt, newspaper, bubble wrap and a wool sock. The girls used all of these materials to wrap up their plastic cup in a way that would provide the best insulation. The ASME members then poured hot boiling water into each of the scouts insulated cups and inserted a thermometer. The girls were instructed to come up with a hypothesis - which material will be the best insulator? They took the first temperature, recorded it and then after approximately 10 minutes, they took the temperature again to see how much energy was lost based on how they insulated their cup. Kerri Constant, Associate Director of curriculum alignment with the Girl Scout Council of eas tern Massachusetts, pointed out, Today is a great platform with female mentors in the field. Girls love to solve problems- its a key thing for them and once they get involved, they love it. It helps them with their aspirations. This is a perfect time for them discovering who they are. Constant said she was pleased to see 30 girls active in the summer as the Girl Scouts has a very vibrant STEM and engineering portfolio. In their community based after school program, the 8 week program on engineering and design that reaches 2500 girls. And in March and April, the Girl Scouts holds a STEM conference for girls in middle and high school. Id love to partner with ASME more on this type of program. Its very important for these young girls to have female engineers as role models and to see engineers who are local and in their community. Its not just about the math and science, but how they can make a difference in their community. It helps break the stereotype, and they see women who have si milar interests. The format of the afternoon event was to teach basic concepts that focus on the fundamentals of mechanical engineering thru hands-on activities. The goal was to help the young girls understand that mechanical engineering is fun and its something they can do. Today is about getting girls excited about engineering at a young age, and showing them that its an vorkaufsrecht for them as an area of study and/or career. The girls that are here signed up because they wanted to learn more about mechanical engineering. They seem really excited and engaged in the activities and topics we planned. They have natural drawing and building skills, and could be great engineers one day, said Kate Fu, ASME member and Assistant Professor of ME and Industrial design at Georgia Tech. ASME member Kathy Jacobson, a retired Lockheed Martin engineer was a Girl Scouts leader for years. I saw that there werent any engineering badges for the girls, so we found several interested ASME members wh o shared our vision and started a process to investigate getting some engineering badge content. The team met via Skype over the last few months as theyre all from different parts of the country. They looked at the age appropriateness of activities to make it so the girls would get the most out of the workshops. They wanted to make it fun, interesting and hands-on so the girls would walk away saying I want to be an engineer. One of my favorite things at this workshop was when I gave the first girl a paper, she immediately asked can I make a paper airplane? Thats the sign of a future engineer Even if the girls here do not go on the path towards engineering, its great to see them excited at this workshop, said de Vries. For Further DiscussionToday is about getting girls excited about engineering at a young age, and showing them that its an option for them as an area of study and/or career.Prof. Kate Fu, Georgia Tech

Resume Writing 101
Resume Writing 101Resume Writing 101We can all agree that advancements in modern technology are pretty darn amazing. From precise digital surgeries to home monitoring systems that communicate with you via the internet, hi-tech gadgets have given us big improvements in our daily lives. But did you know that these same improvements and innovations can potentially hurt your chances at landing an interview?With the introduction of applicant tracking software (ATS) that uses coding and predictive equations to screen out applicants, combined with the ever-tightening job market and an influx of qualified candidate, chances of your resume even getting in front of a decision maker are lower than ever. Before you throw in the metaphorical career towel, there are ways to game the system and see your resume make it to the top of the list. Below are a few resume crafting tips for the modern age that are aya to catch the attention of both the tech and human side of the job hunting equation.Lets Ta lk StyleBefore we get down to the nitty gritty about what to, or more importantly what leid to, include in your resume, we need to talk basics of style and design. There are plenty of online templates available if youre looking to start a resume from scratch or if your CV is in need of a major overhaul. While these can make documenting your professional history skills a plug and play endeavor, its important to understand the differences in popular resume formats and why one or the other may be right for your particular situation.There are three main layout and organizational styles in resume formatting chronological, functional and combination. Each of these has benefits and disadvantages when it comes to showcasing your stellar career history and educational background.The chronological resume format is far and wide the fruchtwein popular and commonly used template. In this design your work history and education are listed in separate sections, with individuals entries for each in cluded in chronological order. Keep in mind that when using this format you should be sure to include the most recent experience at the top, since it will be the most relevant to your new, desired position.In the chronological resume format, your entire work history and career footprint are easily identifiable and digestible. This design is also instantly recognizable since its the most widely used by candidates across all spectrums of industries. Job seekers beware, though. If you have little applicable experience, a significant job gap or a period of employment that is notlage representative of your desired position (that year you spent finding yourself while taking odd waitressing gigs and living in your parents basement, anyone) the chronological resume can highlight these types of deficiencies, which can lead to the need for lengthy explanations in your cover letter, initial phone screening or in person interview.If you have any of the above holes lurking in your career history , you may consider a functional resume for your preferred format. In this design your skills, achievements and applicable career competencies are listed at the top of the resume in a separate section. Specific positions may be listed later on, but dates are generally not included. A functional resume has the benefit of pointing out your strengths and highlighting just how youd be a good fit for the desired position. The downside to this type of formatting, however, is that you still may be asked about specific lengths and dates of employment which can take up valuable time during your interview in which youre trying to make a lasting impact on your potential new employer. If neither of the above styles sounds like a goldilocks scenario of fitting just right for your career history, a combination style resume may be just the thing youre looking for. In a combination resume you will list both your relevant skills and chronological job history, each with their own separate sections and headings. Deciding whether to lead with your experience or work history will depend on the position youre interviewing for, as well as whether you want to stress or minimize the historical impact of your complete job history. Specifics About FormattingOnce youve chosen a style or type of resume that best fits your desired position, youre ready to start crafting that masterpiece of employment history. While many stylistic choices will depend on your personality and desired career, when it comes to fonts, bullets and length, there are a few commonly accepted norms.Technical aspects to keep in mind when it comes to your resume include length, margins and spacing, font size and style and narrative voice (first person, third person etc.). If youre looking for specific pointers, youre in luck. Below is a quick formatting checklist of accepted norms for a professional resumeResume Formatting GuidelinesFont Classic fonts such as Times or ArialFont Size 10-12 ptMargins 1 marginsSpacing SingleNarrative Voice Active, First part Avoid using the passive voiceOptimizing for TechThe next thing to keep in mind when it comes to resume essentials is that the first pass of your experience and work history may not be made by a human. ATS technology is used increasingly by large recruiting Firms and major corporations as a tool to weed out lesser candidates and identify those that have the necessary skills for the position. While this means good things for getting those highly qualified candidates to the top of the resume pile, if youre not careful it can also mean your resume is misread or potentially discarded. For as advanced as predictive technology is, it turns out that modern computers arent able to process some fairly simple characteristics in some resumes. Special characters or punctuation, elaborate fonts and images or graphics will all be disregarded. So ditch the fancy font that dots your is with hearts and the emoji inserts and stick with the basics for best p rocessing results. Content The Meat of the MatterAfter youve worked out the fine details of style and formatting, its time to get down to the business of crafting your resume. Within the specific styles discussed above, there are several ways to lay out the information youre attempting to convey to your prospective employer. Separate sections for work history, skills, experience and education are all commonly used and help easily identify your key strengths and relevant career history.While work history, relevant skills and certifications and education are self-explanatory categories, the experience heading tends to trip applicants up the most and is an under-utilized way to make a big impact with your potential employer. An experience section should be no more than 2-3 sentences that provide a birds-eye-view of what the reader will deduce from the rest of your resume. List your key qualifications that are applicable to your desired job and highlight one or two major technical stre ngths. Add in a sentence addressing your education and certifications and let the paragraph be a ablaufplan for the rest of your stellar resume.Getting Down to SpecificsFew things are bigger turn-offs for busy professionals than a resume that says a lot while communicating very little about the candidate themselves. Whether in the job descriptions of your work history or the experience or skills wrap-ups, candidates should strive for specificity in both their prior tasks and qualifications.Instead of describing yourself as a good manager lay out the traits that make you successful in your job. Successfully manage a team of five with day to day supervision including scheduling and reviews will tell the reader much more about whether youd make the perfect fit for their company or job opening.When picking out skills to highlight, be sure to keep in mind the job youre applying for. A thorough perusal of the job listing and a quick exploration of the company website, if available, will g ive you at least an initial sense of the type of candidate and personality the employer is looking for. Find ways to highlight within your resume traits you possess that fit the bill and youll be that much closer to landing a call-back.Read, Read and Re-Read that ResumeOne final, but critical piece of advice when it comes to resume crafting basics will take you back to your high school or college days when points were deducted for miss-types or spelling errors. While no one will be giving you an F for improper verb usage, your resume will be demoted if it contains numerous grammatical, spelling, formatting or other errors. Before hitting the send button, read your resume several times through. Better yet, ask a friend if theyd be willing to give your CV an additional perusal. After all, with something as important as a job or career on the line, it never hurts to go the extra mile.The Final Word on Resume WritingWhile it may seem like an intimidating endeavor, a quality resume is a critical component to both your immediate and long term career success. Keep in mind that once you create an ideal resume, it will always be available at hand for your next big career move, with a little updating of course. Various online templates or those available in your word processing software, make figuring out just where to start a breeze. That, in combination with our excellent advice above, will see you being the belle of the job application ball and get you a vital leg up in scoring the job of your dreams.This Post was Updated on July 19, 2017
