On The Job

Your resume should always be able to reflect that you’ve kept up on the latest training and skills. Attend an event or sign up for an online class that really challenges you. Becoming too comfortable in your career and with your skills can set you up for problems if you suddenly find yourself out of work. Find a mentor.

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. Technology moves at such a fast pace it's hard to keep up with what's out there. It has paid off where I got a phone call or an interview.

Are you looking for networking advice, job hunting advice, resume services, interview prep, career navigation, LinkedIn self branding, or getting mentored about career/life?

She saw the importance of this training to help her daughter know the workings of an office from the bottom up and the office benefitted from her educational training. She was a smart kid and picked up the tasks assigned to her very quickly. I have seen admin assistants climb up the corporate ladder just that way.

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.

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. A job opening came up and they wanted to offer me a job that would start the next day. I’m sure they have received a lot of resumes. How long do you think is fair?

I opened the phone book and signed up with every single one in town. No hello, no trying to chat them up, or loiter to see if any celebrities were there. Any recruiter who sees your resume will silently wonder the following questions. If the fit isn’t close enough, they toss or file your resume.

This is now a more grown up generation,” says Dan Finnigan, CEO of Jobvite. There is nothing like real life to wake people up. When hiring picks up,(and it will), I think we'll see a more humble workforce. Keep up the good work! Hochwarter over the phone. At least they will be that way for a couple of years!

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. Whereas, you can actually go fix it, if you can muster up the courage and energy to change. However, I do want to state something up front. And congrats on landing the interview!
