Writing a Resume on Microsoft Word 2020Writing a resume on Microsoft Word 2020 is really easy, but it is not advisable to try to do it the 'old fashioned' way. When you first start off, you will find that you are confused with all of the software options that are available for you. It will be obvious that your resume needs to look professional, so that people can see that you have what it takes to handle the job. There are a few tips that will help you create the best-looking resume that you can.The first thing that you will want to do is sit down and write out all of the information about yourself that you want to include in your resume. Make sure that all of your information is written in the proper format, because it will be used later. The information should be written in a clear, simple manner. One thing that you will notice about Microsoft Word 2020 is that you can make quite a few changes to your information before you save it.Another easy way to create a resume that looks pro fessional is to use a template. Most people are not going to spend the time to create a resume from scratch, so using a template will help you save time. There are many templates available for you to choose from. You can also download one from the Internet for free.If you are writing your resume from scratch, make sure that you put your personal information in a proper place. You can either put it right under your contact information, or somewhere in between.

The Internal Job Search Youre Not Taking It Seriously Enough!

The Internal Job Search â€" You’re Not Taking It Seriously Enough! The Internal Job Search You’re Not Taking It Seriously Enough I think I’ve seen it all during my decades of recruiting and hiring (and not hiring)! In the “old days,” employees got tapped on the shoulder to get promoted or moved laterally to their next position. Or an employee would make a few phone calls to some buddies around the company and they would find the “hidden jobs.” The world has changed! Today, employees are staying in their roles longer and hiring managers within a company are able to select from multiple highly talented candidates. Plus, hiring managers and human resource managers may want to interview external candidates as well as internal candidates, opening up a much larger applicant pool. Now, combine the current state of internal hiring with the deplorable application methods of internal job seekers today. It’s the perfect storm. The good news is that those internal career-movers who do a professional job with their job search WILL stand out above the rest. Here are two key rules to follow when you search for a position within your company. And these rules hold true regardless of whether you are applying for a position within your division or in another division, moving geographies, or any other situation. Rule #1: Go through your job search process exactly as if you are interviewing externally. Whoever said that the internal job hunt is more casual? Big mistakes I’ve witnessed first-hand: No cover letters. Late for informational meetings and interviews. No copies of résumé to distribute during meetings and interviews. No pen and paper in hand to take notes during an interview. Pretend that you are interviewing externally. There should be NO difference. Rule #2: Information Meetings or “Informationals” ARE interviews! Yes, I do recommend you request a 20-30 minute meeting with the hiring manager or someone who knows a lot about the position prior to a formal interview. At some companies, information meetings may be required in order to be selected to go through a formal interview process. But, don’t make these errors! Coming in without any insightful questions about the position or division. Unable to discuss the job description that the hiring manager wrote! No pen and paper to show an eagerness to collect information. No copy of a résumé but a great excuse, “Oh, I thought this was just an informational!” Just remember: Every move you make, everything you say, and everything you put in writing are all samples of how you would work if they hired you! Don’t let your guard down, don’t get informal, and don’t make the blunders that sabotage your chances of getting that next, great position within your company!

Managing Weekly Tasks (for Overly Committed, Perfectionist, Somewhat Structured Creatives) - When I Grow Up

Managing Weekly Tasks (for Overly Committed, Perfectionist, Somewhat Structured Creatives) - When I Grow Up You can buy this pad, along with a lot of other snarky organizational tools, at Knock Knock. By now youve had a whole week to ingest/digest/implement my genius/crazy/complicated time management system. Again, I beg of/implore/ask/plead with you to comment about it, as it would be so beneficial to me and society in general. And yes, Ive finally lost it. Part 2 of my time management system involves a weekly checklist, which I have sillily titled Check Yoself B4 U Reck Yoself, because Im a weirdo and also a fan of the Ice Cube song that contains those very intelligent lyrics. This checklist includes the weekly calls I have to make, blogs I have to write, and chores I have to do. The columns are easy: Task M (Date) Tu (Date) W (Date) Th (Date) F (Date) Sa (Date) Su (Date) wk of (Dates) wk of (Dates) and so on Itll be clear once you look at it: Then, highlight the box in each row that corresponds to the day you want to do the task. For example, Motivation Mondays goes up every Monday (confusing, I know). So, I highlight the box for Monday, and move on from there. Like this: When Ive done it, I check it off with a nice big X. If I only have to do it once, I then put a little smiley face in the box for that week. Once you start using this for a while and the weeks add up, its easy to see whats getting done and whats not and you can figure out why. Are you trying to do too much? Is there a reason youre procrastinating on one certain task? Im also going to figure out a celebration for myself when I get a certain amount of smiley faces. Yes, grown ups do that! If theres a one-off task that I need to do on a certain day, Ill add that to the end of the list italicize it, so I know itll be wiped clean once its done. The end result looks like this: If you want to see this checklist for yourself instead of in these distorted images, check it out along with Michelle Master Tasker here. So, whaddya think? Madness? Brilliance? Would love/jump up down/be thrilled to get your comments!

Job Interview What Should I Do if a Job Interviewer Tries to Guess My Age

Job Interview What Should I Do if a Job Interviewer Tries to Guess My Age Q: My interviewer was trying to figure out my age. What should I have done? This week during an interview at a well-known, privately held biopharma company, the hiring manager asked me, “When did you graduate from college?” I thought this was odd and could indicate he was trying to find out my age (I’m in my 50s but look much younger). I danced around the question without actually answering it. But he would not let it go and kept asking it more directly (“How long and where did you work after college?” and “In what year did you graduate?”). My resume indicates only the last 10 years of experience which is directly related to this job. What is the best way to avoid answering a potentially illegal question around age, race, sexual orientation, whatever? Should you call them on it or dance around it? Thirty minutes into the interview (shortly after asking me the loaded college questions), he abruptly ended the interview saying he didn’t want to waste my time. I’m not sorry because I would not have taken this job given the hiring manager’s interview tactics. A: I would have asked this guy directly, “Why do you ask?” You want to say it in a friendly way, not adversarially, but being direct about it might have gotten him off that line of questioning (or not, depending on how shameless he was). In other cases where you’re being asked about things like age, marital status, parenthood, religion, or so forth, sometimes you can figure out what they’re really getting at and answer that instead of the direct question. (For instance, if you think they’re concerned that parenthood will get in the way of your job performance, you could say something like, “There’s nothing that would interfere with my ability to work the hours needed and get the job done.”) By the way, despite widespread belief to the contrary, asking the question itself isn’t illegal â€" but basing a hiring decision on your answer would be, which is why smart employers don’t ask this kind of thing. Q: I’m scared to resign because my boss will explode. Should I take the new job? I have been at my current job for almost four years. When I started at this company, the boss I am working for owned the company and asked that I give her six months notice. I was shocked then, but I had no plans on leaving so I agreed. About a year ago the company changed ownership, but my boss still stayed and not much really changed except she was no longer signing my checks. Now it is time for me to leave as I have no more growth potential (and haven’t had any for the past 3+ years) and I am ready for a change. PLUS she has been over managing me and demeaning me for years and I have finally hit my limit. Good news is that I have a pending new offer with growth potential, a raise, and better benefits but I am scared she will go ballistic on me. When I have seen previous employees leave and give their two weeks she called them “unprofessional” amongst other rude names and is horribly mean to them. To top all of this off, she will be on vacation in a few weeks and my two weeks notice may run into that vacation (she is gone for three weeks) as well. This complicates things even more as I manage her bills/home/life while she is out. I am trying to do what is best for me without burning any bridges. Should I turn down this offer because I am scared? The new company may be flexible enough to give me an extra week but that wouldn’t be much help as she will already be on vacation. A: Take the offer. Six months notice is absolutely unrealistic in most fields, and frankly anything more than two weeks is unrealistic with a boss who behaves like this one does. You know she’s going to react badly, so just brace yourself for it and let her explode. If she crosses any lines you’re not comfortable with, say this: “I very much want to work these final two weeks and leave things in good shape, but I’m not willing to be talked to this way. We either need to work together civilly, or today will need to be my last day.” It’s really not your problem that she’s on vacation for part of your notice period. Give two weeks notice and don’t be talked into giving more. Under no circumstances should you turn down this offer simply because you’re scared! Being scared that your boss will explode at a completely normal part of doing business is all the more reason to get the hell out of there. These questions are adapted from ones that originally appeared on Ask a Manager. Some questions have been edited for length.
