Maybe in a few days we get our resume together and search a couple of the big online job boards to check out the available positions. If we’re feeling particularly ambitious, maybe we send out some resumes to local companies. Having mentors in place will not only help you professionally, but personally. And that’s about it.

We all know how difficult it can be to maintain a realm of sanity in the workplace when the phone is constantly ringing, clients are popping in and out of the office, a project is due, and you have a supervisor who is behaving like a ‘helicopter mom.’ My advice is to grab a member and become a mentor or get mentored!

I enjoy doing this and it helps when I volunteer or make suggestions to those I'm mentoring or friends who ask me questions. It is a site and free service to tweet out your full resume. I've actually sent in my resume and cover letter to companies with open positions whenever their site was down or when a post had expired.

Are you looking for networking advice, job hunting advice, resume services, interview prep, career navigation, LinkedIn self branding, or getting mentored about career/life? The good ones will ask on the phone when a phone interview starts if it is still a good time to talk.

It’s such a shame that there aren’t more managers who are good mentors that help each individual grow and learn more in their roles. I can not stress volunteering enough to spruce up your resume for when are you ready to leave your current company. HR will usually call 2-3 people for a quick phone chat.

Hartwell has his own impressive resume, having performed in five Broadway productions, two national tours and at the Tony Awards. In the early days, he would open the phone book and call every theater and dance company in the city to promote his drop-in classes. Believe in the power of hard work. Most hung up on him.

If a more experienced assistant comes alongside you and provides mentoring - dont refuse it. She said it wouldnt look good on my resume if I was seen as a job hopper. So if you want to get your foot in the door as an admin, there is no shame in that and it will be valuable training for whatever career you ultimately choose.

Hochwarter over the phone. I've also interviewed people who are like deer frozen in the headlights, refusing to retrain in a dead-end profession or just sending out resumes to big job boards. And I do understand that money does not buy happiness, etc etc, but we do heroes, mentors and models of good behavior.

Again, I want to learn how to cope with it for my career (this is a major position for a resume) because I know it's him and not me. You need to figure out how long you need to stay for it to be beneficial to your resume and the story you tell about your career. And congrats on landing the interview!

Your resume should always be able to reflect that you’ve kept up on the latest training and skills. Find a mentor. Or, you can ask a professional organization about helping you find a mentor who can help guide you through some career issues. Pick up the phone. Use your personal cell phone out of earshot of others.

Your termination is more “in the past” than being the focal point of your resume because your first job description will be the temping stuff. All this time I wanted to be recognized for my great resume and hard work and when I got offered a job on the spot, I retreated instead of saying yes right away.

I opened the phone book and signed up with every single one in town. Any recruiter who sees your resume will silently wonder the following questions. Whether based on your cover letter or resume, recruiters only take 6 seconds to see if you are match. If the fit isn’t close enough, they toss or file your resume.
