Do You Know Who You Are...On Paper? by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 Thanks to an amazing membership with Career Directors International I had the distinct pleasure of a booth at the most recent National Careers Job Fair. Three hours of job seekers pouring in through the doors and me and my assistant providing free resume analyses. I spoke to 100+ job seekers and found one common thread among them all. They had no idea who they were...on paper. I must have repeated the phrase ‘what do you wa... |

Go On...Brag A Little. It’s OK by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 The biggest problem we run in to with clients is their inability to want to market themselves, brag about themselves or speak positively about their own achievements. I guess in the world we live in we are just so critical of ourselves – constantly pushing ourselves that we forget all the great things we’ve achieved in our career. Well this is one instance where it is more than OK to pat yourself on the back. Go ahead, you des... |

Hard Skills Versus Soft Skills by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 Do you know the difference between hard skills and soft skills on your resume? Well you better get acquainted real quick because it can be the difference between 10 interviews and no interviews, between a new job and no job. Think I'm kidding? Keep reading. I talk about this every day...probably a hundred times a day. Okay well not that many but every client I speak with I explain the difference between hard skills and soft... |

Is It Your Resume or the Economy? by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 Most job seekers are wondering this same question - Am I not receiving calls because of the economy or is it my resume? I've read the articles, blogs, business week stories, monitored the job boards and discussed the issue with recruiters. Everyone has a different opinion and so do I. I took my daughter to the mall this weekend to buy her a new pair of shoes (hang in here with me for a few minutes and you'll see where I'm g... |

Is Lack of Focus Dragging Your Resume Down? by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 How many of you can honestly say you know exactly what you want to be when you grow up? Maybe you already have it figured out, and maybe you are already living and working it. If you are, does your resume know that? I work with clients every day and speak to hundreds of job seekers every week that have no idea what they want to do. I ask “Well, what do you want to do?” Then I receive the blanket “I just need to feed my fami... |

Is Your Resume On Maturity Leave? by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 I once worked with a woman who was pregnant and was rapidly approaching her due date. In an effort to prepare clients for her absence she sent out a mass email detailing who would be handling their accounts while she was gone on maturity leave. Yes, you read that right. She sent out an email to many, many clients telling them that she would be taking maturity leave. Apparently in twelve weeks she would return more mature t... |

Is Your Resume Presentable? by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 Presentation is your first impression. Much like when you meet someone for the first time and you know that they're forming their first impression of you. Of course we always hope it will be a positive one and it is the same principle with your resume. The presentation of the document is the reader's first impression. You can either delight them and encourage them to learn more or you can turn them off and make them run in the... |

LinkedIn Invitation Etiquette by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 Lately I have noticed a flurry of LinkedIn invitation activity. What bothers me is not the amount of invitations being sent or received but how users are going about the invitation process. So I've put together this brief blurb on LinkedIn invitation etiquette. I do not mind receiving invitations from people I have never met (even though LinkedIn says you should really only accept invites from people you know.) If I feel th... |

Power Hour by Karen Burns - Nov, 2009 Must. Get. Power. The good kind, of course. Agreed? To that end, here are some ideas for (nonviolent) ways to acquire power vis a vis your job: 1. Only do work you really truly enjoy. You may be downtrodden, overworked, and put-upon, but you won’t care! (Much.) 2. Feel able to do the work. Avoids that icky helplessness feeling in the pit of your stomach. 3. Failing that, feel able to learn to do the work. ... |

Should I Quit My Job? by Karen Burns - Nov, 2009 Seems like an insane question, doesn’t it? Nowadays most people are just trying to hold on to the jobs they’ve got. But say you have a really awful job. You hate, despise, loathe it. It pays like dirt, you have no chance of improving it, and it makes every single day of your life an unbearable hell. Should you just quit? Of course if you read the news about the soaring unemployment rate, the “jobless” recovery, the ... |
