10 Mistakes in Writing in Resume

10 Mistakes in Writing in ResumeWhen it comes to writing a resume, there are many mistakes that people make in this process. There are several mistakes in resume writing that can damage your chance of being hired, and the most common one is a mistake in grammar.There are a lot of grammar errors in resumes. Many people never stop to look at their resume, and make a mistake in their grammar and they forget to correct it after the job interview. People have an ability to edit the content on resumes, but if you make a mistake in your resume, you have to change it immediately.The other mistake that I always see people making is to put too much information in their resume. There are mistakes in grammar that make it look as if you are trying to give too much information in your resume. You need to save your resume for about three to four pages, and make sure that the content on the first page is not much more than a few sentences. Don't use any type of keywords as your title, and don't put too much information in your resume.The last mistake that I mentioned is to use confusing words and phrases. You must avoid using too many technical terms or legal jargon, and do not use the term 'transactions' as your headline. Your headline should be clear and descriptive.Another mistake that you can make is to go in for jobs that are not interesting to hiring managers. You should concentrate on jobs that are interesting to you, and you should also focus on jobs that interest you.As for what to put in your resume, your resume must have at least three job titles. Keep in mind that you will be asked to provide information about the job description, the salary range, and the experience of the person that you are applying for. Your resume must include the name of the person that you are applying for, and the name of the company that you are applying for. Use only your first and last name, because there is no reason to put a middle name.This is the most common mistake that people make, and it's the most damaging one because people will automatically assume that you are incompetent or lazy. You need to get rid of these mistakes and try to create an effective resume.

Lin-Manuel Miranda on What Hamilton Taught Him About Money

Lin-Manuel Miranda on What Hamilton Taught Him About Money Even outside of his turn playing the United States’ first Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda knows a bit about money. In the first year of the hit musical Hamilton’s run on Broadway, Miranda made at least $6.4 million, the New York Times reports. And his wealth will only grow as the musical continues its Broadway run and opens more productions elsewhere. Learning new lessons on personal finance and financial literacy, Miranda shared the importance of financial planning in a recent interview with Morgan Stanley. “To educate yourself about personal finance is to empower yourself with the resources and tools needed to help you achieve your goals: whether it be owning your own, starting a business, making a living off of your passions, providing for a family, having a healthy relationship with money, or paying it forward,” Miranda said. When he first started his career, Miranda relied on his father’s financial advice. Miranda’s father, Luis Miranda, Jr., helped the actor co-sign the mortgage on his first apartment. Miranda says the most important lesson he has learned about money was one he learned while writing Hamilton, and attempting to get inside the head of Hamilton himself. “In writing about Alexander Hamilton, I had to learn a great deal about the birth of our financial system,” Miranda said. “He intuitively understood that if the states are tied together financially, we begin to transcend our colonial mindset and thinking of ourselves as one nation. I’d never thought of money as a unifying or stabilizing force prior to telling his story.”

How To Keep A Casual Eye On The Job Market - Work It Daily

How To Keep A Casual Eye On The Job Market - Work It Daily There are many job seekers in today’s market who are somewhat satisfied with their current role, but who would certainly entertain a discussion should that perfect role appear on the horizon. Related: The Secret To Getting Interviews: Tap The Hidden Job Market While it is true that some amazing jobs literally fall into people’s laps, this is the exception to the rule. For your best shot at finding out about an opportunity that is too good to pass up, these six steps can help: 1. Review Job Postings Semi Regularly Check in somewhat regularly on job postings. Better yet â€" set up job alerts that come directly to your email. While the return on your investment of a job hunt focused strictly on job boards is not likely to yield huge dividends, these sites do offer insight into which companies are hiring (and which ones are not). Reviewing job postings can also prove helpful in developing a list of organizations to target. Once the list is compiled, next steps include identifying who is in your network that works there, or who you might know that knows someone else, in order to construct a professional network to help you get the inside track on jobs or get your foot in the door. 2. Keep Up Appearances On LinkedIn Make sure your LinkedIn profile is not merely current but 100% complete. LinkedIn refers to this as “All-Star Status.” 3. Get Active On LinkedIn While there is no need to be active to the point where you feel like a social media stalker, a stagnant account does appear lower in the feeds of your connections than it would with some regular activity of engagement. Activity can be as little as 30-45 minutes a week to 30 minutes a day, and can range from adding a new quality connection to liking or commenting on an article related to your industry or career aspirations. 4. Keep Your Resume Current And Up To Date It is critical that your resume be ready to roll in the event a recruiter or a promising connection reach out to you. Make sure it is written to appeal to online readers â€" as close to 100% of first-time readers will never print but rather review on a screen. 5. Practice Your Elevator Speech Prepare your pitch for that call or chat, however unexpected, that shows how or why you are perfect for a company or a role. Have versions of this speech prepared for a face-to-face talk, phone conversation and email. 6. Know Your Non-Negotiables Or Deal Breakers Get a sense for what a role that is “too good to pass up” really means, which means you must have answers to what would it take from a pay, benefits, relocation perspective to make the jump. That way when and if that perfect role does appear on the horizon â€" you have a bottom line in mind.
