Here are our top five tips that we share with our clients. Dream first and dream big. To identify your ideal career, you need to dream BIG. Hold practicality at bay for a moment. If you get practical too soon you can cut yourself off at knees with brainstorming. If you allow yourself to dream, you may come across a career idea you never considered or even knew about! So tap into your childhood dreams, tap into your passions and your heart. Think out of the box; be creative. What is something you’d love to do? Write down everything that comes to mind. Be committed. To make any large change in your life, such as a career change, you have to be committed. Your level of commitment can make or break whether you’re successful. Ask any professional athlete, business owner or successful entrepreneur and they will tell you that commitment is key. Being truly committed will you allow you to invest the time and energy necessary for a successful career transition. Define success your way. Don’t stay in a job you dislike just because friends or family think it’s a great job or because you don’t want to admit you made a mistake. Define success your way and find a job that is truly a good fit for you. The traditional definition of success is financial stability, good salary, and benefits. There is nothing wrong with that definition. However, if you are truly unhappy with your job, those things are not good enough! Think about and write down what success means to you. Look at the big picture. Many people choose a career based on past experience, maybe their natural talents and salary. They think, “Well, I’m good at this and it pays well so I’ll try it.” You have to consider much more than just experience and salary in order to identify your ideal career. Two other examples of things you need to consider are fulfillment and meaning. What would you enjoy doing in an ideal job and what fulfills you? This is all part of looking at the big picture. Identify your strengths. It is a fact that when people use their natural abilities at work, their job is more fulfilling to them. When people aren’t using their natural talents regularly, their jobs are not rewarding. Make a list of the things you do that come naturally to you, the things that make you unique. For example, are you able to plan events without any effort, do you just naturally organize and coordinate projects, or are you a natural leader? Looking for more help?

Writing a Cover Letter For Resume - Tips to Make Your Resume Professional

Writing a Cover Letter For Resume - Tips to Make Your Resume ProfessionalWriting a cover letter for resume is one of the most important steps in getting hired as well as applying for jobs. Getting hired depends on your resume, but sometimes getting hired also depends on what you have written in your resume.A resume that you are using for interview will have to be professional enough to convince the hiring manager. This is so important because the future employer does not have time to read your resume, so how can he or she understand what your skills and talents are? Also, it would be a waste of your time to start filling out resume after resume, you could be wasting your time and efforts because you are not making an impression to the hiring manager.The first thing you must do when you are preparing a resume is to list all the skills you have which would include areas such as marketing, creative, technical, management, or scientific. Keep in mind that there are different types of res umes. If you are applying for a job that requires creative and technical skills, you would need to make sure that your resume does not forget to include these skills. However, if you are applying for a job that requires business experience and other technical skills, the resume may just tell about your technical skills.Another thing you should remember while preparing your resume is to put in the proper information for the hiring manager. The hiring manager would want to know the exact background and all the qualifications of the applicant so, the last thing you want to do is to put in blank spaces and leave some information missing from your resume.One of the ways to make your resume more professional is to make sure that you use appropriate grammar, punctuation, and style to avoid any misunderstandings that might happen. You must always remember that hiring managers and hiring committees are looking for candidates that they can trust, especially because of your resume. Make sure t hat you include your current contact information so the hiring manager can get in touch with you.When you are writing your resume, keep in mind that the job seeker is the most important part of the resume because if they are hired, your dream of working at a certain company will come true. You can write as much information as you want but do not write too much about yourself. Writing too much can show that you are nervous, which will only show in your resume.You must remember that you will be spending the next couple of days for preparing your resume and that you should not get distracted. Even though writing a resume can be fun, make sure that you have a professional look because you are preparing a professional resume for a professional company. Also, make sure that you are fully prepared before you start writing.

Seasonal Jobs 10 Companies Hiring and How Much They Pay As competition for holiday shoppers heats up, a parallel battle for seasonal staff may have already reached its boiling point. Retail giants have posted hundreds of thousands of holiday jobs in recent weeks â€" and are offering pay bumps and other financial incentives to coax workers into filling them.
