Resume Examples Are Essential For Job Hunting

Resume Examples Are Essential For Job HuntingMany new job seekers today are focusing on searching for the best resume examples that could make their job search easier. It is true that you would want to look for good examples of resumes if you are looking for any type of job and it is also important to remember that there are some types of jobs that require you to have a good resume example. However, not all kinds of job listings require a resume that is formatted the same.There are many employers who prefer to look at different forms of samples when looking for applicants or current employees. For instance, if you are applying for a job in the nursing field, there are not a lot of nurses out there who would be willing to do such a job for free. The reason why is because most nurses will receive payment for this job.Resume examples need to be very well designed. It is important to note that a good resume will demonstrate your writing skills, so if you are an expert in this, then you h ave nothing to worry about. In fact, a resume is nothing more than a piece of paper that describes a person's experience and qualifications. Since the applicant already has a job, he would need to make sure that he can present his resume properly in order to impress the employer.Employers want to see how you present yourself as an employee and how you display the things that the employer can look forward to. If you have not practiced writing your resume, then there is no reason why you would be able to do this effectively. All you need to do is find the best examples of these job listings that you can and then practice writing them.It is important that you keep this in mind when you are using your resume examples for a job listing. You may have all the experience that you can possibly have, but if you do not know how to present it, you would not make any sales, nor would you get hired. You have to remember that your resume example is going to be read by the hiring manager and the pe rson who read it should see everything that the hiring manager could see.With that said, it would be best if you made sure that you had printed the resume examples on the hard copy examples. This would make it easy for you to look up these examples whenever you need them. This way, you could actually practice how to use them every day.There are thousands of free resume examples that you can use, but they may not be as much effective as a professionally written one. Therefore, it would be best if you were to print out a few of these samples and you can try to use them every day.

Lyft to Uber Drivers Youll Get Extra Money With Us

Lyft to Uber Drivers You'll Get Extra Money With Us Lyft has a new pitch for drivers: You’ll make extra money with us â€" and not with Uber. Officials for the ride-sharing company announced in a statement on its website Wednesday that Lyft drivers have received $200 million since the app launched. “Our drivers have continuously gone out of their way to make people’s days,” the statement said. “That’s why, since day one, we’ve made it easy for passengers to say thank you by allowing tipping right from the app.” Lyft differs from its top competitor, Uber, by offering a tipping option for passengers on the application, a difference highlighted in the statement. “It’s clear our passengers value our drivers, and so do we,” the statement continues. “That’s why we’re committed to continuing to treat them better with programs that allow for same-day payments, affordable rates on rental cars and lower fuels costs with Shell.” The statement also pointed to a survey conducted by research firm Ipsos that found Lyft was more “friendly,” “welcoming,” “cool,” and “trustworthy” than “other ride-sharing apps.” This survey came before Uber was met with a host of criticism, ranging from the Uber CEO Travis Kalanick’s involvement in President Donald Trump’s economic advisory council (he later resigned) to former Uber employees speaking out about sexism within the company. Uber is still larger than Lyft, as the two are valued at $70 billion and $7 billion, respectively, USA Today reports. Lyft announced Thursday it has expanded to 131 more cities since the beginning of 2017.

4 New Years Resolutions For Your Entertainment Career - Work It Daily

4 New Years Resolutions For Your Entertainment Career - Work It Daily I only have one problem with New Year’s resolutions. Unless it is New Years day and you start working on them when you write them, they postpone action. As if, until the New Year begins, you are free to do nothing, to mill about at the starting line until the morning of 1st. Resolutions For Your Entertainment Career But whether you are reading this on January 2, 2013 or beyond, these four “right now resolutions,” completed in order, can get you moving in the direction of your entertainment career goals, whether you are still in school, just starting out, or ready to make a big push toward progress. 1. Get Clear In order to move toward what you want, you have to know what you want. We’re not talking about an ultimate goal that is somewhere out in the future â€" you just need to define your immediate next step. If you are a student, do you want to secure a specific type of internship for next semester or complete an awesome project for your comedy directing class? If you are a soon-to-be grad, do you need to figure out what city you want to live in or secure your first job in the biz? If you are already an entertainment professional, do you need representation for your writing or to trade up to a “better job” once you figure out what that means? Alison Deyette and Jason Neulander are two Industry Pros who were very strategic during college and upon graduation, respectively, in ways that ultimately paved the way for their next-step goals. Read their profiles to see how a little strategic thinking now could help you progress quicker. 2. Identify Roadblocks If you think about it, you probably know what’s standing in your way. Usually, lack of forward motion involves a lack of clarity (see above), a lack of knowledge, or a lack of confidence. What don’t you know? In the case of the student who wants an internship, it might be that you don’t know which PR companies in your area specialize in entertainment or special events (your two interests). In the case of the student who’s about to graduate, you may not know the relative merits of each place you are considering, including the professional opportunities available. In the case of the industry pro who wants to trade up to a better job, you may not know what a better job looks like. Define where the blanks are so you know what you need to find out. To build confidence, just know that every single successful entertainment professional in the business has faced failure and rejection. Every. Single. ONE. The bigger the success, the more failure and rejection they have faced (and continue to face) in their careers. And also, take time to focus on the successes you have had and the kudos you have gotten thus far to fuel you to keep going no matter what. 3. Make A Plan We all recognize that resolutions don’t mean anything unless action is taken. You can vow to lose ten pounds all you want while sitting on your couch, but unless you actually eat less or exercise more, there’s no chance your resolution will become reality. So now that you have clarity and knowledge (and hopefully at least a little confidence), let’s make a plan. What should be on your plan? Well, the first thing on your plan should be filling in the blanks to get rid of the roadblocks. Do the research required if yours is like one of the cases above where knowledge is lacking. If you are stalled on a creative project, you need to get moving forward, whatever that means. If you are planning to look for a first job or a better job, take a look at your resume and LinkedIn profile. Are they ready? 4. Take The First Step (Or First Few Steps) Your first few “right now resolutions” should be able to be done without anyone else being involved. Internet research, resume updating, even shooting a little test footage on your smart phone. So, even if it’s Christmas or New Years Day or the middle of the night, you can get some things done on your road to entertainment career success. Do internet research, work on your script, take out a camera (yes, your smart phone probably has video) and shoot something, even if it’s just to test the equipment or try out a shot you are considering. Update the resume and/or LinkedIn profile, draft an e-mail to your professional network telling them what type of opportunity you are seeking next. Bottom line: Resolve to take action now. And then do it. This is your first step to find success in your entertainment career. Photo Credit: Shutterstock Have you joined our career growth club?Join Us Today!
