Källtext Bidra med en bättre översättning. Cover Letter Tips & Career Advice from Career Expert Teena Rose : CAREEREALISM. Have you heard of a hook? Individuals who write professionally (e.g., writers for press releases and sales letters) will be the first to tell you your material needs a hook. The complicated part of the process is no one can tell you what the hook should be because it’s different for each job seeker. A hook is something that draws readers in from the start, and entices them to continue reading.

Since every cover letter will require a different hook, researching businesses will definitely be very advantageous for you. Your ultimate goal is to input uniqueness into each of your cover letters that others will overlook or not spend the time to address. 1. Do you keep up on current company events? Press releases and articles are continuously written on company happenings. Get into the habit of reading about what’s going on with businesses that would make ideal employers.

Staying Focused: Are Your Accomplishments Legendary? In Greek mythology, Hercules[1] was the son of the Greek god and chronic philanderer Zeus and Alcmene, a mortal woman. More than mildly miffed by this dalliance, the goddess Hera sent serpents to kill Hercules when he was only an infant. Even from his earliest days, Hercules clearly demonstrated that he was destined for great things. Hercules is best known to modern audiences for his epic Labors, a series of tasks he was assigned as penance for a terrible crime—and again, thanks in part Hera. They have come down to us through legend from slaying the Nemean lion to capturing Cerberus, the three-headed guardian to the underworld. It may sometimes be tempting to view oneself as a latter-day Hercules, heroically striving against the mighty challenges an antagonistic figure sets in our way.

Imagine what a résumé for Hercules might resemble. Hero at Large Examine the accomplishments, each drawn from one of the legendary Labors of Hercules. Grooming Leaders to Handle Ambiguity - Scott Anthony - Harvard B. By Scott Anthony | 4:00 PM July 6, 2010 How would you identify the up-and-coming leaders in a company about which you knew nothing? You’d likely start by pinpointing the executives who control the most employees or revenues. You might give bonus points to relatively young mangers. If you had consulting DNA you might create a sophisticated ratio combining the span of control and age to identify the leader in the horse race to be the next big boss.

You are working off a simple hypothesis that’s right in almost every company — that size matters. Power flows from financial contributions and legions of employees. You groom leaders by giving them progressively larger, more challenging opportunities. This approach seems logical. But I wonder if companies might be approaching leadership development the wrong way. A related challenge is that size-matters-grooming companies can find it hard to convince talented managers to work on new growth initiatives.

Resume Critique Checklist. Resumes normally get less than a 15-second glance at the first screening. If someone has asked you to review his resume and you want to help him ensure it gets read -- or want to know if your own is up to par -- be sure you can answer yes to the following questions: First Impression Does the resume look original and not based on a template? Is the resume inviting to read, with clear sections and ample white space? Appearance Does the resume provide a visually pleasing, polished presentation? Resume Sections Are all resume sections clearly labeled?

Career Goal Is the career objective included toward the top of the resume in a headline, objective or qualifications summary? Accomplishments Does the resume include a solid listing of career accomplishments? Relevance Is the information relevant to hiring managers' needs? Writing Style Is the resume written in an implied first-person voice with personal pronouns, such as I, me and my, avoided?
