Labeling Objectives In Your Resume
Apr 5th
Using job application goals is sometimes debated between professionals as well as for those searching for a career. Some might be not wanting to include goals within their resume and would prefer using a more basic strategy. Some do use them to be able to provide a more precise picture. This may done by highlighting particular goals as to why one selects their position. There are benefits in addition to drawbacks in adding a particular objectives on your job application. Know these types of advantages and drawbacks in order to ready yourself for any questions that may arise.
Advantages:
Features of utilizing job application objectives depends on the comprehension and preference of the viewer. Assuming that your resume objectives are very precise about a job you would like, a number of employers would actually not like this idea since you are limiting their selection making process by thinning their investigation. If you specified a position they need, however, the supporting information and data contained in the job application will help support the reason why you chose that particular position. In contrast, writing a general objective can be used for any career, employers might find it harder to assess your qualifications since everything is so generalized.
Most employers would rather be brought straight to the point on a resume, because most organizations obtain tons of resumes to study whenever they start a position. Giving a particular job application objective, the actual company would probably believe that you have the goal of keeping the position longer compared to those that only sent generic objectives. Giving the boss the perception that you did your research and have in mind the particular position they wished to fill is enough to make an impression on anybody.
Disadvantages:
On the other hand, a few employers don’t value job applications with objectives and look straight to the experience. A few would have detrimental responses to particular objectives. Keep in mind that you’re really addressing what the boss would like and not something that you want.
Some specialists also discourage the usage of specific resume objectives because they often limit you to the stated job. If you did not meet the criteria of the desired job, you wouldn’t end up being considered for additional jobs that might be open in the company. This is because it would be odd for the company to interview you for a position you did not intend to apply for.
Make sure to consider these points when writing your next resume. They just may get you that dream job!

What Should You Seek in Resume Writing Services?
Apr 5th
Picking finest resume writing services is an important procedure a candidate should carefully carry out as anyone can open up a service of resume crafting. Following are the points that can help you select the best service there is.
- First of all don’t be like the rest of the people. Most people head to such services who claim that they are partners with well-known organizations. If truth be told, their services are no better than any average company and all the partnership banner is only to attract people in the backstage they pay royalty for that. Their resumes are poorly crafted, the points are unorganized and also they use poor ready-made templates. So if you are not like others never head to those companies and seek those who offer their time to their clients so as to understand their personality and characteristics.
- Second tip is to check their advertisement or their web. As most of these resume writing services deal online thus, they ought to have websites, check them out and see if it is attractive or not. Also check the literature on their websites, see if it attracts the customer or at least you, if they can’t come up with an attractive sales pitch means they are not worthy to put your money on. Nonetheless, it is only a tip don’t focus on it too much as there are many who have attractive webs and sales pitch but have second rate writers in their firms.
- Best resume writing services only accommodates professional writers who have certificates licensed to them by well-known and certified organizations such as CPRW (Certified Professional Resume Writer). Do not stop your quest here; apart from their certificates also check their credibility by peeking into their backgrounds information. Lots of websites, mostly authentic ones provide a detail background of their whole staff. You can check their backgrounds, expert and excellent writers have aw-inspiring backgrounds filled with achievements and honors.
- Another aspect to look for is samples. Check whether the company you are going to pick offers sample resumes to clients. Majority of them do, examine the sample thoroughly see if the skills, experience or achievements are listed eloquently and attractively or not. If the samples are not worth looking and mediocre, means that company also doesn’t worth place where you spend your money.
- Examine the writing procedure they carry out while crafting the resumes. Do not dawdle to ask them the procedure since you have the right to ask as you will be going to spend your money in that place.
- Don’t hesitate to ask them if they offer guarantee or not. Most authentic companies offer it because they employ authentic writers and they have trust and confidence on those writers, which is why based on that confidence they guarantee their work.
- See whether those resume writing services provide confidentiality and privacy or not.
- In the end come to the price. The cost of the writing service is another element when choosing the best available service for you.
Resume composing firms are a great place from where you can easily get your resume crafted in a manner which potential recruiters would want.
Sme Bank » Blog Archive » Lucrative Business Ideas That Will Fill …
Apr 5th
Posted by jakumi on April 4th, 2011
I want to focus this article on certain industries that have proven to be lucrative business ideas and have a record of consistency, a healthy potential for massive growth and will not break your piggy bank.
I have selected 4 ideas, Online Virtual Help, Pet-related Services, Blogging Services Consultancy, and finally the evergreen Health-Wealth-Relationship industries. I believe these to be historically high growth potential areas.
So with an open mind, a song in your heart (ha ha) and a good dose of the ‘give it a go’ spirit, enjoy reading – you just never know, one of them might just change the course of your business life.
Online Virtual Help Services
While not as glamorous as it sounds, this business will allow you the opportunity to work from the comfort of your home (in your jammies, if it takes your fancy). The good news is that almost every industry or business will need and use some kind of virtual help. Just imagine an off-site department that delivers a particular task for a business without them having the responsibility and costs associated to having an internal department to do that task. That’s great news particularly for small to medium size businesses that require on-demand services.
Things to keep in mind:
There is virtually (forgive the pun) an endless list of needed online virtual help on any given day. So first decide the types of jobs or projects you prefer doing. Don’t just limit to what you think you can do, try spin-offs. For example, you might be able to do research work for clients, or write content, or fill in forms and so on.
Consider time zones:
Some of your clients may come from parts of the world with entirely opposite time zones than yours. This may affect your working hours. But do not discount the idea of working for someone in a time zone opposite from yours because it just might suit you for various reasons i.e. mothers with toddlers, part-time workers who also hold down a day job and so on.
Pick A Virtual Need That’s In Demand
Try to stick with industries that are already using virtual assistant services. To kick-start your right brain here is a list to help you – I am sure you can add a few more of your own:
Excel spreadsheet work
Data entry work
Database management
Phone Call Message management
Scheduling Organizing
Newsletter creation

Pet-Related Services
Walk down the pet food aisle of your local supermarket and you will see how big the pet industry really is. Pet lovers will go to great lengths to spoil their pets and will treat them (the pets, that is) like a loved human member of their home. You can be sure, pet lovers will pay good money just to spoil their pets. Here are some lucrative ideas you might consider:
Pet caring daycare business for time-poor pet owners
Homemade dog cookies for fussy dogs
Online pet organic food supply
Coordinated fashion and blink blink toys for up-market dogs and cats
Exercise equipment for the weight health conscious pets
Dog-walking service within your local neighborhood
Brokering for a health care company for animals – big business
Blogging Services Consultancy
If you are reading this you probably are already familiar with blogs and what blogging enthusiasts do. Look around the Internet, a very high percentage of small businesses do not yet have a blog presence to represent their company and are unable to set a blog up for themselves nor the time to take on one. Nowadays, you do not need to convince businesses anymore about the power of Face book, Twitter and Blogging for business. This is a ready-made market in waiting. If you know how to set up a WordPress blog (or any decent blogging platform) and have some kind readership, you can teach others to do what you do and charge a fee. Most SME business owners now ‘get it’ about winning customer loyalty and about building a customer list using the leverage of a blog post.
Blog consultants are in fashion and are in need but unfortunately there aren’t enough good blog consultants to go around the market. Keep it simple, Google loves WordPress blogs (they are my favorite) or you can use Blogger (owned by Google).
Health or Wealth or Relationship Advisor
Without sounding like a typical Internet Marketer, I must say that any market relating to Health, Wealth-making, and Relationship repairing are classic ‘hot’ niche areas. The ‘starving’ crowds in these 3 emotionally charged industries are never-ending, it’s a huge market which means collectively means they are thriving businesses.
Here are some areas of services you might want to consider:
Personal Training For CEOs
Ebooks on Health Tips and Exercise for baby boomers
Government health insurance guide
Child health insurance tips
Student health insurance help
Relationship forum website – and earn advertising revenue
Wealth building and wealth creation consultancies
Family money management
Wealth management for women
Private wealth advice
Personal wealth management
Wealth magazine or Newsletter – and earn advertising revenue
Relationship advice for young women
Dating advice or Online Relationship advice
Needless to say you need to have specific qualifications or experience in these areas to offer your service. Some of the services only require you to do the hard work of research and then on-sell that knowledge as a service.
The Health, Wealth Relationship niches have proven to be big sellers. Many books, ebooks, and courses written by knowledgeable authors offer affiliate programs you can build a lucrative business on. Places like Amazon and ClickBank have proven this to be true beyond all shadow of doubt.
There you have it, my 4 core areas of lucrative business ideas that will fill your piggy bank up, and not break it. As you can see, you can drill down into each area to more hubs of other lucrative business ideas. Enjoy!

What to Include in the Objective Section of Your Resume
Apr 4th
When you do a search on the internet on this topic, you will find that some resume experts say including an objective section at the top of your resume is essential. Other experts say you should replace the objective section of your resume with a summary. Which experts are correct?
The typical summary offers the benefit of highlighting your job skills-what you have to offer the employer, whereas the typical objective statement is usually focused on what you want from an employer. So in today’s job market, it would seem that a summary might give you the edge. Employers are looking for employees who aren’t self-centered.
Yet, there is no reason why you can’t approach your resume objective from a different angle. Just because something has been done a certain way in the past, doesn’t mean that it can’t be approached in a new way.
Objective Statement Basics
Don’t limit your objective section in your resume to a simple “I am looking for employment as a…” Yes, you do want to include the job title in your objective statement, but you don’t want to look like you are looking for a position that fills your needs. Employers are desperate for employees who are willing to look out for the business’ interests.
So you want to do something a little different with your objective section. Handle it like a hybrid between an objective and a summary. Then it won’t matter whether you are just entering the workforce, re-entering the workforce or changing careers. Your objective statement will help you get the attention you need by putting the correct spin on the work history that you must include in your resume.
A hybrid objective/summary statement should include three things.
- Include the job title.
- Highlight existing skills.
- Create a picture of you using those skills in that position.
It doesn’t matter which order you use. The key is to include all three types of information.
Include the job title.
Job titles make it easy for the computer and/or person who reads your resume to identify quickly that you are a candidate for the position.
Highlight Existing Skills.
Include those skills that are most important for the position. You’ll learn what these are by carefully reading the job description.
Create a Word Picture.
It only takes a few words to create a picture of you filling the position. Your goal is to include your work ethic in a few brief words. This doesn’t have to be a sentence as the examples below show.
Examples of Objective Statements
To improve company bottom line through demonstrated customer service and cash handling experience as a retail associate. (Skills are customer service and cash handling experience. Work ethic is desire to improve company profits. Position is retail associate.)
To use my experience and professional, team-supportive skills in a full time, long term position as a dedicated medical massage service provider. (Skill and position is massage services. Work ethic is professional and team-supportive. Note including full time, long term was one of the traits the company was looking for.)
Employment in office management in a setting where organizational skills, people skills and self-motivation are considered essential qualities. Open to both full and part-time openings. (Position is office management. Skills and work ethic are combined. Notice the emphasis on what type of work environment is desired. This says this person values quality and teamwork. Closing sentence reflects flexibility.)
Seeking Senior Executive management position with special interest in a position where growing revenue and market share is a primary need. (Position is Senior Executive. Skills are growing revenue and market share. Notice that other words have been woven in to create a picture of this person growing revenue and market share.
Summary
Be specific. You don’t want to be vague. Make sure the recruiter recognizes immediately that your career goal aligns directly with the company’s needs. Try to keep your objective one sentence, two at the most. And most importantly, avoid an objective section that only shares what you want out of the job. Make sure you show what you have to offer.
How to Write a Reference Page For Your Resume
Apr 4th
One of the most important aspects of a resume reference page is the creation of instant recognition. You want the person or group of individuals who interview you to instantly connect your reference sheet with the resume that landed you the interview. If you use the following steps, you’ll accomplish this goal as well as the other goals your reference page must address.
1. Use the same letterhead.
Whatever letterhead you created to open your resume with must be the same letterhead you use for your reference sheet. I find the easiest way to do this is to use the “save as” function of your word processor. Save the resume with the name “References.”
Once you have done this, you can erase everything on your resume below the letterhead. Save again, and you have the basic start to your resume reference page.
If your resume was originally in tables, delete the contents of the table below the letterhead. Then convert the table to text. Delete any extra lines you don’t need. This will make it easier to type in the reference information.
2. Use the same fonts.
Keep the same font styles as you used in your resume.
3. Use the same formatting.
Format the heading “References” in the same size, etc. as you used on the resume. Use similar font sizes for the information that follows. For example, if you include company names in the reference list, use the same formatting you used for company names in your resume. If you centered information on your resume, center it in your reference sheet.
4. Use the correct order for information.
Generally, the following order is the best order to use.
- Name of Reference
- Position in company (if applicable)
- Name of company (if applicable)
- Street Address or P.O. Box
- City, State Zip
- Phone number
Omit any information that isn’t applicable. For example, if your reference is a personal reference without business connections, you won’t include position in or name of the company. If the person doesn’t have an email, that line would be dropped.
5. Include three to six references.
If at all possible, make every reference someone who knows you on a professional level. This isn’t always possible, but make it a goal to nurture professional references.
Then make sure that each person you list is willing to provide a reference. Find out how each person prefers to be contacted. Don’t list a private phone number or cell phone unless this is the preferred method of contact.
You also need to recognize that email may not get through a reference’s junk mail filter. You should provide it if at all possible, but include other methods of contact to ensure the reference is accessible.
If you are just entering the job market, look for respected community members who know you. Often the opinion of an ecclesiastical leader holds more weight than that of a friend. If you have volunteered, you may be able to get a reference through the organization. Treat this type of reference just like a business reference.
6. Always place the strongest contacts first.
If all of your contacts are strong references, you can list your references alphabetically. But if some are better references for a specific opening, then you’ll want to list your references by strength.
Facts About Resumes
Apr 4th
In a market where there are more people searching for work, your resume becomes a vital tool in your efforts to find employment. Hiring someone who understands how recruiters sort through the many resumes they receive for job openings can be a major step toward landing an interview. The following facts will help you evaluate whether you should hire or attempt to prepare your own resume.
You Only Have 30 Seconds.
That’s how long the average recruiter spends scanning each resume. If your resume isn’t recognized almost instantly as relevant to the job, it will be tossed.
The Most Important Information Must Be at The Top.
What is the most important information? What you have to offer, what your skills are. In some resumes, education will benefit you if it is near the top. In others, education is best at the bottom. It all depends on your unique skills set. You want to present information in a way that gets the message through that you are qualified for the job.
Most Free Templates Don’t Stand Out.
If your resume is generated using a template, it will look like it. While some of the Monster templates actually look quite good, after thousands of people have used them, they start looking generic. You or the person who prepares your resume may find a template a useful starting place, but you should take the time to tweak it so it looks different.
You’ll also discover that free templates are only as good as the information you plug into them. If you don’t enter information in a way that creates a picture of you filling that job opening, the template isn’t going to improve on what you plugged into the form. A professional resume preparer will.
You Need Multiple Resumes.
Every resume you attach to a job application must be tailored to that specific job. If you don’t take time to do this, you’re wasting your efforts sending out the resume. It might help you retain your unemployment benefits, but it won’t help you find a job very effectively.
Fortunately, once a really good resume has been put together, it isn’t difficult to tweak the resume to fit different positions as long as they are in closely allied fields.
Professional Resumes Land Jobs Faster.
It can take months to find a job even with a professionally prepared resume, but it has been demonstrated that professional resumes do increase the chances you will be called for an interview, the first step to landing a job.
A Resume with a Cover Letter Works Even Better.
Some recruiters toss resumes that don’t have cover letters attached. Even if they didn’t, a cover letter gives you an opportunity to demonstrate how you are uniquely positioned to meet the company’s needs. It can reflect a little more personality than a resume can.
Keywords are Vital.
Both computers and recruiters scan resumes for keywords connected to the industry. If you fail to use them, your resume will be overlooked. A true professional knows how to weave keywords into your resume in a way that doesn’t look like a job description.
Some Work Experience is Optional.
Jobs you had 20 years ago rarely offer anything compelling. Unless you absolutely have to go that far back to prove you have the qualifications for a position, only include the past 10 to 15 years of work history.
Mistakes Could Cost You an Interview.
Make sure your resume is perfect. If you aren’t using complete sentences, don’t put periods after bullet points. Make sure every word is spelled correctly. Check your grammar. And scan the resume for any inconsistencies in formatting. These are the kinds of mistakes that “blow up” on you.
Number of Pages Is Important.
Don’t take two pages when you can take one to demonstrate you are the right candidate for the job. At the same time, don’t cram everything into one page when two would present the message more effectively. Remember that small print is hard to read, so all your hard work may be lost if the recruiter hasn’t upgraded his or her prescription recently.
Tips For Writing Professional Resumes
Apr 4th
A human resource person has to go through hundreds of professional resumes every day. In such a scenario, you stand the chance of being called for an interview only if your resume is perfect and attention grabbing.
In this article, we will discuss some tips for resume writing so that your chances of being hired for a suitable job increases manifold.
Keep All the Important Data Handy
Before you start writing your professional resume, you should keep the entire data ready like when you finished your high school, dates and duration of each of your employment, what were your job responsibilities, career achievements, further professional development training and so forth. This will make the task of writing the resume easier.
Decide What Will Go Into Your Resume
Depending upon the job you are applying for, you should decide on the points you will include in your resume. Some of the points that are a must in professional resumes are contact details like phone number, address, e-mail ID, education, and job-experience. You may include other things as well like voluntary work, computer skills, languages known and references, if required.
Write A Good Job Title
Most recruiters just glance through professional resumes while short-listing candidates. Therefore, you should write a title that could easily grab the attention of a recruiter. The title should be descriptive and should briefly tell about the type of job you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for a freelance web writing job, your job title could be “experienced freelance copywriter.” You could also include your career goals in the job title, like you could write “Result-oriented aspiring copyeditor.” You should make sure that you include keywords in your job title as many recruiters use sort results options for short-listing professional resumes.
Be Concise
Recruiters are busy and do not have time to read each and every resume word by word. Instead of writing long stories about your achievements, you should aim to give all the important information in a concise manner in your resumes. Also, you should give the information in an orderly manner so that a recruiter does not have to waste time in searching for information.
Give the Most Important Information First
Most recruiters make a judgement about a resume only by reading the first few lines. You should include the vital information at the top. For example, you should outlay your training and qualifications and then list out you employment history so the employer can directly see you’re your background and experience covers. Always put your current or last job at the top. Of course, the recruiter would be more interested in your current job position than your very first job.
Double-Check Your Resume Before Sending It
Your professional resume should be free from spelling and grammar errors. Make sure that all the information is correct. Giving wrong information, even unintentionally, may land you in trouble during an interview.
Resume is an important document that could help you in getting your dream job easily. If you find resume writing difficult, you could take the help of a resume writer. A resume writer not only creates professional resumes, but also writes effective cover letters.
Cover Letters
Apr 4th
An employment cover letter is one that is sent with a resume or C.V. It gives you the opportunity to impress the employer with your skills and to let them know that you are the person they are looking for to fill their vacancy.
Before you continue with your application you might want to consider the following three points.
Your skills
Jot down some of your key skills that you use in your present job, particularly the ones you like using most e.g. you might be well organised and enjoy prioritising your workload every morning, you might be a great team member and really enjoy the weekly team meetings. List all the things you love about your present job or jobs that you have done previously. Think about skills you have been praised for in the past.
Make another list of your experience e.g. you might have recently gained some computer qualifications, you might have just completed a first aid course. Again, also include the experience that you’ve enjoyed gaining.
The employer’s needs
Now study the job advertisement that the employer has posted. Make a list of the skills and experience that they are looking for. If there isn’t a great deal of information in the advert look on the company’s website; There may be a job description or person specification for the post. Is there anything on the company’s website that shows what kind of people work there? Is it a young, dynamic company? Or a traditional, established company?
Are you a match?
Do your strongest skills and experience match what the employer is looking for? Could you see yourself working for this particular company? If the answer is yes - great! Go ahead and write your cover letter.
What if you’re not sure if you want to work at the company? Perhaps they are very sales orientated and you would be expected to be a chatty, confident sales person - maybe you prefer to work alone and in silence.
Everyone is suited to different kinds of work. You don’t want to apply for a job when you know that you’re not really suited to it.
Take your time and study the job market. Keep in mind the kind of work that you enjoy doing. You will find the right job.
I once applied for a job which I knew wasn’t right for me. The reason I applied was that it was a ten minute drive from my home. As I had young children at school I wanted somewhere nearby. The job was a disaster for me and I soon left. I found a much better one which was even closer to my home.
Take your time with your job searches - you deserve the best job for you.
