"Age Discrimination or Attitude Discrimination - Which Is It?" Does age discrimination exist in employment? From the over 50 and in cases even the over 40 group you will often hear a resounding YES! From an employer perspective it will be a resounding NO! So, what is the truth? Maybe the reality is that there is ATTITUDE discrimination. Do you have the right attitude to get hired? Or are you simply looking for something that will pay you what you want and get you through the next 5 or 10 years until you can retire? Employers are looking for contributors, not space takers! |
"Effective Resumes - Above the Fold Is Prime Real Estate; Do Not Waste It" We have all heard the studies about how little time your resume will spend in front of a recruiter or hiring manager. If that is the case you must make your best case rapidly. The place where that is best accomplished is the area above the fold line. What is your compelling story that will make the recruiter or hiring manager want YOU! Read the blog post and let me know what you think. |
"Does your resume meet the "So What" test" Many resumes include information that simply does not provide any value to a recruiter and in fact is BORING. In this blog article, Tom talks about making your resume appeal to the recruiter and hiring manager by eliminating boring information. |
"Up the Ante - Do not Stop with Just a Resume or Application Submission" "Many employers require that you submit your application or resume online and the fact is you have no choice, so do it! Just do not stop there; you need to follow up with calls and visits so the employer knows that you are serious about the job. Employers receive 10s if not 100s of submissions, but you can set yourself apart with proper follow up" |
"What is your unique value or selling proposition" "What makes you different from the other applicants? What special qualities or skills is the employer looking for that you have? A successful job search requires that you differentiate yourself from your competition; not only differentiate, but make your competition irrelevant." |
