3 Ways to Present Yourself As a Resume Writer

3 Ways to Present Yourself As a Resume WriterSometimes it is the resume writing that is overlooked. This is not only the case in the professional world, but also in the personal realm of business and family. There are many ways to provide a platform for your resume to reach the right person, and the following article will discuss three of them.The local student newspaper is always a great way to present yourself in the local community. By making sure that you are not only listed as a student, but you are also making sure that you write about yourself and what you are studying, you are going to get a platform to come out as a sought after candidate for this job. This can be done by going through the local paper for a regular schedule.When looking for a job in the airline industry, it is often best to look at the profiles of the employers on the Yellow Pages.

There will likely be a number of advertisements for lawyers throughout the city, which you can use as a form of advertisement for yourself. Just remember to avoid answering too many questions about why you want to work as a lawyer. Just to give an overview of what you have to offer to the potential employer and let them see that you are looking for something in particular.Perhaps you will want to start by reading the profile of a certain attorney or a local phone book for a list of phone numbers. These can be used as proof that you know someone who works for the person listed. You may not know who they are, but ifthey have a phone number that is of interest to you, you can try to find out more about them from them. From there, you can write your own recommendation letter.Certain things to do in order to present yourself as a writer.

4 Things Recruiters Say and How to Interpret Them - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

4 Things Recruiters Say and How to Interpret Them - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career If you haven’t had the pleasure of working with a recruiter yet, there’s no doubt you will at some point in your job search. Recruiters help organizations find top talent and, if you’re lucky, help put in you in position to land a job. In other words, they can be great resources during your job search. Unfortunately, however, they aren’t always completely clear when they communicate with candidates. As a part of its 2015 Staffing Talent Trends Report survey, LinkedIn asked more than 20,000 respondents what frustrated them about the recruiting process, and one of the biggest issues candidates had was that recruiters don’t always give straight answers. They say one thing, but often mean another and that’s frustrating. If you’re searching for jobs, it’s important to understand what recruiters really mean so you’re not left hanging in the wind. Here are four common things say, what they really mean, and how to answer: 1. We’ll keep your resume on file. What you hear: “We think you have great skills, and we’ll look at your resume each time a similar position becomes available.” What the recruiter is really saying: “Your resume will stay in our system, but we may never look at it again.” When recruiters tell you they’ll keep your resume on file, what it often means is your resume will be logged in their system, never to be looked at again. Remember, recruiters deal with hundreds of applications for every job listing they manage, so the odds of them remembering your resume when a new position comes up are very slim. How to respond: When you hear this, thank the recruiter and ask what other positions they have available now that may be the right fit. If they don’t have any, let them know that you’ll keep an eye on their listings and contact them when similar positions become available. 2. We’ll get back to you either way. What you hear: “We value your effort, so we won’t leave you hanging.” What the recruiter is really saying: “If you don’t get the job, you might get a canned rejection email, but no guarantees.” The reality is, if you didn’t get the job you probably won’t hear back from the recruiter. It’s not that they’re necessarily lying to you when they say this, but recruiters deal with a huge number of candidates on a daily basis and often don’t have time to reach out before moving on to the next candidate search. How to respond: One of the best ways to ensure you’re not left flapping in the wind is to be proactive. Tell the recruiter you’ll check in next week to see how the process is going and continue to follow up at reasonable intervals until you find out whether or not you got the job. 3. You’re perfect for the job, but we have to finish interviewing other candidates. What you hear: “We just have to get a few formalities out of the way before we offer you the job.” What the recruiter is really saying: “We’ve got someone else in mind, but if we can’t close them, you’re the next best thing.” It’s a recruiter’s job to fill the position. If you’re perfect for the job, then the employer won’t waste time and resources interviewing other people. In this situation, the recruiter is most likely trying to keep you from taking another opportunity in case the employer’s first choice doesn’t take the job. How to respond: Ask for a specific hiring timeline and keep your options open. Let the recruiter know how interested you are, but that you’re going to continue going on interviews and considering other offers in the meantime. You never know, that may be enough to convince the employer you should be their No. 1. 4. Employees love the company culture. What you hear: “This is a great place to work, you’ll enjoy it.” What the recruiter is really saying: “We know how important a ‘cool’ company culture is nowadays” Whether the company culture is laid back or high strung, recruiters are going to try to make it a selling point in their pitch to you. The truth is, it may be great. But, those employees the recruiter talked to who said so might just be the hiring manager and upper management who want to get the position filled. How to respond: Do your homework. Use  Glassdoor to read reviews about the company you’re applying to and ask the recruiter questions about telecommuting policies, professional development opportunities, and other specifics about the “cool” company culture to get a more well-rounded picture of the organization’s culture. What other things do recruiters say that don’t necessarily represent what they mean?

The 3D Celebrity An Interview with Xavier Tournaud - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

The 3D Celebrity An Interview with Xavier Tournaud - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking with Xavier Tournaud. Tournaud is an actor, model, and businessman with credits in television (i.e. Desire, Lifetime’s Final Justice with Erin Brokovich, Fox’s Married by America) as well as in film (i.e. Couple’s Retreat, Living the Dream, Just Not Married Yet). He was also cast in a national Hugo Boss commercial. Most recently, Tournaud started his own media company, Finish Line 3D Media, which specializes in producing 3 Dimensional promotional videos for major brands. We talked about the primary influences that have led him to this point in his career, and how he has used branding to help build his company.  1. How did you get your start in the world of entertainment? Well I was born in France, and at the age of 21 my father passed away from brain cancer. The reason I say that isn’t for sympathy, but it really shaped my life in a major way. My dad had a company in the South of France. As a kid growing up I thought, I’m going to work for my dad; this company has my name on it. When he passed, I asked myself, what am I going to do now? That’s why I came to the US; I kind of wanted to start from scratch. I think looking back I made a good decision, it allowed me to move on. So I went to Northeastern University in Boston, MA and studied Marketing. After that I worked in the software sales business for seven or eight years. Then September 11th happened which made me realize I needed to really truthfully look deep down into my soul and do something that would make me happy. That’s why I moved to LA and became a model and an actor and all of that. I wanted a more enjoyable life. 2.  What made you want to leave the corporate world? What did you find different about modeling, acting, etc.? Eventually while working in the corporate world, and with what happened to my dad, I realized that I didn’t want that life anymore. I saw some of the people I worked with in Boston, people working for the same company for 25-30 years and becoming robots. The same thing Monday through Friday. Everyone would come in on Monday and have the “How was your weekend?” “Good, how was your weekend?” conversation. It became very repetitive to me, and it really bothered me. 3. When did you get your big break? Well I came to LA and was lucky enough to get cast on a TV show called “Desire.” I was on 65 episodes, now all of a sudden I’m shooting every day in San Diego and it was fantastic experience. It really gave me a behind the scenes look at how TV and movies worked, and I liked it. From there, I did a few smaller films and finally was lucky to be cast in “Couple’s Retreat” starring Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau. It was interesting because now I’m on the set of a $75 million film, hanging out with big time actors, spending basically a month in Bora Bora. And to all of the outsiders, everyone was saying “Man you’re the luckiest bastard in the world.” And I felt very much that way, but at the same time for me it wasn’t enough because I had a small scene, and I wanted to work. I wanted to test out my acting chops and improv scenes like the big actors, but I couldn’t. As amazing as the experience was, it was also a big tease. So I came back from the trip feeling very h appy but at the same time scratching my head thinking “I need to find a way to do what I want to do.”  4. Lets talk about  your company, what is the focus? Recently, I started a company called Finish Line 3D Media, and it encompasses all of my strengths as an individual. As you can tell by the name, the company focuses on putting together 3D videos and short dramas for specific causes or brands. The first one were doing is centered on Tennis, and were in the process of finalizing a partnership with Panasonic. We’re very lucky to be working with a kid named Bryce Pereira, who is an amazing tennis player sponsored by Wilson. I got the idea for this project because I’m such a huge tennis fan. And you know, tennis has such a large amount of branding involved for a given tournament, 65 countries represented, millions of fans around the world. I’m from Europe, I studied international business, and I love tennis. It just seemed like a perfect fit. 5.  How did you use your brand to get the right people/brands involved with your company? I’m building this company entirely using branding. I’ve been trying over the last 6-7 years I’ve been in LA to meet the right people and to build connections. So I decided to go around town and talk to some of those people I knew who were in high places and ask them what they thought of my idea. It’s a trick I actually stole from someone I worked with in the software industry. He would go around and ask potential customers, “Hey, I’m developing this new software, do you think you would buy it?” I thought it was very clever and so I sort of used the same philosophy here. I asked people what they thought of a branded 3D video and the response was very positive. Of course, then I’m moving a thousand miles a minute to get the company set up because I was afraid someone would steal the idea. For Panasonic, it was pretty funny actually. I kept driving by the Panasonic 3D Laboratory in Studio City. One day, I just walked up and literally knocked on the front door. I asked to speak to the person in charge and told them about my idea. Now, here we are about to sign a deal with them to use their equipment as well as to have people help produce the videos. And I knew that Wilson sponsored the kid we are working with, so I approached them next. Now I have the US Tennis Association, Wilson, and a few other partners on board, just by leveraging those first relationships. 7.  What do you hope to accomplish with this first video? Well, I’m so excited to have all of these awesome companies involved with this project, but all of them are now waiting for me to perform and see what I will do on the first video. So the first video is extremely important for me, I need to produce a fantastic product. My only investor is myself, and my family has helped, but I’m trying to shy away from investors. I want the brands I work with to be my investors, and I need to make sure that I develop a strong product for them. The relationship with these brands is not a one night stand, it’s a lasting one, and I want to make sure that they are happy with what I do so they will continue to support me. 8.  What made you focus on 3D Video Development? I see 3D as the way of the future, and I even think it’s going to go far beyond 3D very quickly. One thing I’ve learned in business is that when you spread yourself too thin it’s tough. I’ve noticed the most successful people are the ones who specialize. It’s something that I have tried to do in the last few years. And 3D is all about the experience. Having a strong 3D experience is very powerful. If you are watching Spiderman 3D, which looks awesome by the way, and you see Spiderman drinking a Coke, it’s like YOU are drinking the Coke. From an advertising perspective, it’s much more powerful as well. 9.  What would you say to those who think 3D is just a fad? I would disagree. Obviously, what drives the 3D world is technology, but it’s really about content. Just like anything else, it’s about content, and I hope to develop fun, sexy, quality 3D dramas for the brands I work with. That’s why when people say to me, “That was a bad movie because it was in 3D,” I say, “No, that was just a bad movie.” It’s not enough to just have dragons jumping out of the screen now; I think viewers are beyond that. People are more trained to watch 3D now, so you have to have a solid story and solid characters to support the technology.  .  Why is the name of your company Finish Line 3D Media, what is the significance? This whole thing really started when I watched the most recent Olympics, seeing the people cross the finish line victorious in a race, I wanted to experience that feeling, and I wanted a victory lap. To be able to say I can create something that is mine. It’s what drives me now. And I’m calling this first project “Tiebreaker 3D,” because I’m trying to turn “Tiebreaker,” into a symbol… like ‘this guy’s a tiebreaker.’ In tennis terms, it means you’re fighting for every point. You could battle for 5 hours, but then it comes down to just a few points. So being a tiebreaker is kind of like, how do you go about life, how do you fight for every step you make. It’s about a lifestyle. Even at a job you don’t like, what can you do to make it better? Whatever it is, you can move yourself in the right direction, to achieve what you want to. People who are willing to analyze what they do and what they’ve done, and change themselves, are the people who are extremely s uccessful. And I mean successful in that they are happy and have the means to do what they want to do. And that’s what I’m striving for. I’m taking back my freedom. Xavier’s company is set to release its first video later this year. Be sure to look out for him whether he is acting, modeling, or developing new 3D content for one of your favorite brands!

7 Tips for the 2010 Holiday Job Search - Hire Imaging

7 Tips for the 2010 Holiday Job Search - Hire Imaging photo by Diana Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. ~ Robert Collier If you are in a job search or about to start one, the holiday season can actually be a great time to find a job, contrary to popular opinion. Many job seekers think that job hunting between Thanksgiving and the middle of January is a waste of time and energy. Don’t buy into this myth! Why? Employers don’t stop hiring just because it’s the holidays. And because of so many people’s perceptions, you can reap the benefits of reduced competition for jobs, including gaining access to decision-makers who are in the office and in hiring mode! Spending budgets before year-end, strategic initiatives, market demands, competition, turnover and many other factors drive hiring. Here are 7 tips to help you keep job search momentum this holiday season: 1. Use downtime to your advantage. If work is slow, you have vacation time or you’re unemployed, schedule some networking meetings. It’s a great time to connect with friends and acquaintances you haven’t been in touch with for awhile. Combine celebrating with letting others know you’re in the market for new career opportunities. 2. Create a job search action plan and schedule. Commit to at least one thing to accomplish every day. Tell yourself that anything less is just not acceptable. And believe it. And act upon it! Staying focused and in control with positive movement each day will have a domino effect in keeping your spirits high and your search in steady momentum. 3. Update your resume and marketing materials. (Here are some tips) This is a great time to review and update your resume, cover letters, LinkedIn profile or other marketing collateral. 4. Connect online. Send emails or use social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) to get in touch. It’s a great time to ramp up your online identity and expand your network. If you’re feeling like a fish out of water with online job search, treat yourself to a copy of The Twitter Job Search Guide by Susan Britton Whitcomb, Chandlee Bryan and Deb Dib. I also recommend Jason Alba’s I’m on Facebook. Now What??? And I’m on LinkedIn. Now What??? (The latter also available in DVD). 5. Tap into personal or professional events. If you’re attending a holiday social event (personal or business), it’s a great time to mention that you are job searching. Accept all invitations you receive if possible. You never know who may be able to help you. Friends, family and business associates are usually happy to help where they can. 6. Send “Happy Holiday” or “Happy New Year” greeting cards with your business card (not the one with your employer, but one designed for YOU as a branded career professional) to networking contacts, recruiters and to employers with whom you have interviewed. Send them to well-connected family and friends as well. 7. Check the classifieds in your target job searching markets throughout December and into January. Those employers are still conducting searches. Continue to check job boards and company websites as well. Leave the New Year’s resolution about ramping up a job search later to others. Beat them to the punch. I wish you a most happy holiday season and prosperous, peace-filled 2011!
