Cover Letter Errors Like job seekers, bloggers often reach out and network with each other. Just this week, The Pongo Blog received an inquiry from a potential guest blogger. Her message started with a nice compliment ("Your blog is so helpful!") and referred to one of our recent posts. Unfortunately, it soon became clear that this particular piece of flattery was less-than-sincere, as the next line said: "I would love to have one of our bloggers write a guest post for [sitename]." Wait, what? In this case it was kind of amusing and no big deal. Most employers these days have more qualified applicants than they can handle, so even a small mistake is reason enough to eliminate you. And while we’re on the subject, here are a couple others: 1. Ideally, you should address your cover letter by name to the hiring manager for the specific job. Acceptable options include: Dear Hiring Manager: Good Afternoon, (Or, if you're using a memo format...)TO: Hiring Manager for Marketing Associate Position, Job Reference 16754
Job-Hunt.Org Using a Digital Signature to Spruce Up Your Cover Letters Home > Cover Letters > Using a Digital Signature to Spruce Up Your Cover Letters Most job applications are submitted through the Internet today, either through an online application system or by e-mailing cover letters and resumes as attachments. Sending electronic cover letters is very convenient, but it precludes the applicant’s ability to sign the letter. Unless you want to print out, sign, scan, and then e-mail every single cover letter you write, it’s easier to just send them without a signature. One way you can make your cover letters stand out is to insert a digital image of your signature. Many online application systems won’t be able to process the digital image of your signature.

Jobvertise The Cloud Approach To Writing Your Resume One of the hardest things about writing a resume is the process of preparing it for electronic eyes--many resumes are scanned and ranked against preferred keywords and never even reviewed by hiring managers. (I can say this frankly because I have worked as a recruiter, and have selected the keywords for positions before listing job openings. I've worked on the "other side of the process.") As a job seeker, it's important to write your resume so that you can pass this first scan test. 1. 2. 4. You will now see a visualization of word highlights for your target position. USAJOBS main page 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? Articles in This Feature:
Death by risk-aversion « Naked Conversations on a Bus | Main | It's the [?], stupid! » Death by risk-aversion Memo to Microsoft: you've got people doing some amazing things over there. Risk-aversion is the single biggest innovation killer, and of course it's not just Microsoft that's been infected. Sure the big companies have it bad and may fall the hardest if they don't get a clue and a cure, but none of us is immune. Blogging has not made this easier... if anything, the idea that a gazillion bloggers and commenters (or even ONE loud one) will seize any opportunity to find fault with your ideas and attempts can dampen one's willingness to be brave. But back to Microsoft... as I said in my previous post, Robert Scoble kept using the phrase "risk-averse" when defining some of Microsoft's problems. But whose fear? What kind of safety? So add one more skill to our career advice for young people: be willing to take risks! But can anything be done about all the spirit-squashing risk-aversion? TrackBack
10 rules to manage your boss Home > Business > Special 10 rules to manage your boss Jacques Horovitz | August 12, 2005 The relationship with your boss is probably the most important relationship you have at work. Boss management can stimulate better performance, improve your working life, job satisfaction, and workload. Give your boss a hand and reap the rewards. When we think of managing someone, we usually think of managing our team members or subordinates. Their argument was that in modern companies, subordinates are not solely dependent on their bosses, but that today's complexity requires interdependence: the boss needs her team as well. I have the vantage point of being an adviser to top management, a CEO, and now as Co-Director of the PED program at IMD. In order to unleash the energies and get closer to customers, we divided the group into 250 'small companies' of some 50 people each and of three hierarchical levels. 1. Your boss has other subordinates, other decisions to make. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
