Objective For Teen Writing Resume

Objective For Teen Writing ResumeWhat is the best objective for teen writing resume? While most people believe that the majority of teen writers start out with a more general objective for writing resume, this really isn't true. In fact, it's the exception and not the rule. The best objective for teen writing resume is the one that is specific, specific.Teen writers who give a generic or generalized job objective can be quite confusing to the employers as well as the applicants. This is because it simply has no bearing on the job that the applicant is applying for. What is required here is a description of the job that the applicant is applying for.After you have written the description of the job, you must then write a paragraph or two describing the company's profile. Describe what the company does, how the company performs its jobs, what it is about, how the company works, and what type of employees are the company looking for. It should go without saying that these paragraphs are to be short, to the point, and to the point. This is very important and should be done.At this point, you must describe what the applicant does for the particular job. Now the applicant is focusing on the job that they are applying for, not just the company in general. This will definitely help the applicant in gaining the confidence needed to get an interview.Now comes the second part of the job objective. This is usually about the position that the applicant is applying for. It should detail the responsibilities that the applicant has, the salary that the applicant is looking for, the types of training that the applicant has, and any other training that may be required to be a successful employee. Again, this should be brief and to the point.The job objective is usually going to be one paragraph or two paragraphs long. A few tips for writing a job objective include; 'Requirements: ** Please provide a detailed list of your qualifications and skills for the position,' and 'Descript ion of Position: ** Provide an organized description of the duties and responsibilities of the position'You see, teen writers are not expected to have a professional resume. They are expected to read resumes, give general feedback, and write a resume.But, it is also possible for the teen writer to write the resume. In fact, there are many quality resume writing software programs that make it easy for the student to create the resume. However, these programs are expensive and are usually not included in a quality writing course. Once again, it is up to the writer to find a way to give their resume an accurate description of the job they are applying for.

Surviving Creative Destruction in the 2nd Half of Life - Career Pivot

Surviving Creative Destruction in the 2nd Half of Life - Career Pivot Creative Destruction? Copyright: vicnt / 123RF Stock Photo According to Wikipedia â€"Creative destructiondescribes the “process of industrial mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one.” Creative destruction is nothing new. I was listening to the Freakonomics Radio podcast calledHow Safe is Your Job? (Rebroadcast)and they were discussing that in 1905 there were 400,000 pianos made in America. If you wanted music in your house you learned to play the piano. The phonograph was created in 1877 but it was not until 1915, did phonograph sales start to take off. Later came the radio. Pianos did not go away but today there are about 30,000 pianos made each year or 8% of the number made in 1905. The piano industry was changed forever by technology.

It was not commercially viable but Kodak’s management team could not see the future. That future would destroy how Kodak made money … chemical film. In 2001, Kodak had the #2 digital camera on the market but lost $60 on every sale. Fast forward to 2012 and Kodak declared bankruptcy. In both these cases, creative destruction took 20, 30 or 40 years to destroy an industry. Listen to the most recent episode Now that pace is accelerating. For More:Living in a “Career Disaster Area” at the Age of 65 The Destruction of the Brick and Mortar Store by Amazon Amazon.com was found in 1994 and initially just sold books. In 2015, Amazon passed Walmart to be the most valuable retailer in the world by market capitalization. With almost every major brick and mortar retailer with the exception of Walmart are in trouble, Amazon and other online retailers are wreaking creative destruction on the retail industry. Even Walmart is feeling the heat as they acquired Jet.com in August of 2016. Jet.com was created by the founder of Diapers.com which was acquired by Amazon in 2011. The original idea behind Jet.com was the only source of income would come from the $50 annual membership fee. All products would be sold at cost. It did not work out that way but you can see the creative business models that are possible online that are not possible in a traditional brick and mortar store. I recently had a discussion with a board member of my breakfast club about the large number of realtors that attended our meetings. The gentleman I was speaking with said: “the breakfast club was a great place for anyone who owned a brick and mortar business to network”. My response was ” the only brick and mortar establishments I go to are grocery stores and restaurants”. That is a bit of an exaggeration but not by much. Creative destruction is wreaking havoc in the retail industry. The Apple iPhone The Apple iPhone turns 10 years old this month. What do I get from my iPhone 6S that I did not 10 years ago?

What your resumes gotta have to make it effective - Hallie Crawford

What your resumes gotta have to make it effective Today we have a guest post from a colleague of mine, Melanie Szlucha. An attractive, well written resume will help you stand out from the flood of applicants. Melanie works with each client to understand their unique background and then develops intelligent, professional, eye-catching resumes targeted to the positions or industries the candidate is applying for. To schedule a FREE 10 minute consultation, visit http://www.redinc.biz or contact her at 203-866-1606. You feel like you’re submitting your resume to every possible job under the sun, but you just can’t get any traction. In the back of your mind is this nagging suspicion that it’s not them, but your resume that could be the problem. But what should a good resume have? You’ve got your past jobs on there with dates, shouldn’t that be enough? No. A resume needs to be an attractive, readable, interesting document that makes the employer want to get to know you more. Think of it like an enticing description of a dish on a menu. When you go to a restaurant for the first time, you have no idea what you’re going to order. You have to rely on the descriptions to entice you and steer you in one way or anotherâ€"ideally for the restaurant toward the highest priced item. They don’t just list the ingredients of the dish, but the description pulls the whole thing together and makes it sound appetizing. Is your resume enticing to an employer? Here’s what turns them on. RESULTS: Employers have GOT to see that you get results for the work you do. How effective are you? There’s a difference between not increasing sales at all, and seeing a 34% increaseso put that on the resume! How have you affected the company since you’ve been there? CAREER SUMMARY: This takes the place of the Objective at the top of your resume. A career summary should give an employer a thumbnail view of who you are as an employeethink of it as a thesis statement on your old high school research papers. DO NOT simply provide a shopping list of qualities such as: hard working, dedicated, loyal, or the phrase attention to detail. They are on EVERYONE’s resumetrust me, I’ve seen my fair share. Instead paint yourself as if you’re an enticing dish on a menu and write something truly descriptive like this: “Syndicated/qualitative research professional with in-depth, customer service experience across a variety of industries. Successful track record of client retention, strong contract negotiation skills and increased sales through up-sell opportunities and new product development. Specialized experience in analytical category analysis, internal data management and written/verbal client presentations.” This describes the person behind the r esume and paints a detailed picture of her experience in a short period of time. BRIEF JOB DESCRIPTIONS: Under every company, job title and dates (and yes, in most cases, you should include months as well as the years), you should provide one or two sentences to describe what the company does (in case the name isn’t well known), and the basics of your job description. That’s it. Employers need to understand the industries you worked in, and the basic responsibilities of your past positions. They do not need to see your duties spelled outyour accomplishments will answer those questions in their mind. So take a look at your resume. Does it pass the test? ************** Heres to having a career you love!Certified Career Coach

Retail Arbitrage How a Couple Earns Thousands Online

Retail Arbitrage How a Couple Earns Thousands Online What if you could turn your weekly Trader Joe’s run into a $30,000 side hustle? For Juston and Kristen Herbert, that’s not a pipe dream to idly consider while standing in line at the store every Sunday â€" it’s reality. The couple has figured out a way to earn profit big-time from the cult grocery chain, and it’s all thanks to Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend. Seriously. The Herberts are experts in retail arbitrage, a small business model in which a person purchases products in stores like Target, TJ Maxx and Trader Joe’s and then resells them on the internet. Shockingly easy and surprisingly fruitful, retail arbitrage works for the Herberts because it allows them to stay home with their young children. They’ve even begun making YouTube videos about their process, which â€" again â€" literally involves buying everything bagel seasoning in bulk and selling it to Amazon customers. “We’re trying to tell people anybody can do this. You can do it from your home, and you can make a pretty decent income just by walking into a store,” Juston tells MONEY. “I guarantee you’re walking past profit every single day.” From Thrifting to Flipping for Adoption Amazon has come a long way from Jeff Bezos personally driving packages to the post office in a 1987 Chevy Blazer. It’s an empire, and one that often relies on online entrepreneurs like the Herberts. In addition to Merch by Amazon, there’s also Fulfillment by Amazon, which taps into a network of people who buy products for resale. They let Amazon handle the storage, shipping and customer service while they collect the cash. According to Amazon, about 200,000 “small and medium-sized businesses” made more than $100,000 in sales in Amazon stores last year. The Herberts joined the resale game about four years ago while living in Los Angeles. With backgrounds in financial planning, they liked to search thrift stores for items to flip. The couple started actively selling on Amazon after their daughter, Stevie, was born. Kristen became a stay-at-home mom because of the high cost of day care, and Juston says they decided “to figure out how to get this side business into something that can generate a sustainable income.” They began by increasing the amount of effort they put into flipping secondhand stuff, scouring estate sales and selling books on Amazon. They created private-label brands for cosmetics, baby headbands and yoga chairs. They moved to Arizona and dedicated themselves to wholesale, buying everyday items directly from manufacturers to sell on Amazon. “It was then that the lightbulb really went off,” Juston says. Wholesale worked for them because there was little marketing, steady demand and a solid return on investment. Retail arbitrage was mostly a hobby until they recently started pursuing private adoption. That’s when they launched their YouTube channel, Flipping Profits. “We had been bouncing the idea off, why don’t we flip $1,000 into $50,000 for our adoption journey on the side?” Kristen says. “And one of my girlfriends was like, ‘Oh my gosh, you guys need to document this.'” Why Sesame Seasoning Is ‘the Perfect Starter Item’ The Trader Joe’s video is by far the couple’s most popular. More than 100,000 people have watched the 16-minute clip since it was uploaded just six weeks ago, on Dec. 30. The view count may be unexpected, but the decision to feature the seasoning wasn’t random. In the video, Juston says Everything But the Bagel is “the perfect starter item for anybody that wants to get on Amazon.” That’s because Trader Joe’s is reliable: The seasoning is always available there, the demand is always high and the seasoning always costs $1.99. As shown in the video, their process is simple. Juston quietly takes his camera into Trader Joe’s, wheeling a cart through produce and past the wine to reach the seasoning. He loads it into boxes while passers-by shop around him. When the cashier asks what he’s doing with all the containers, he says he’s putting them in gift baskets and sending them to family. It comes out to $141.29 for 71 seasonings. (The Herberts say they try not to be “obnoxious,” so they limit the amount they take.) Back at home, the couple wraps the items while 6-month-old Kruze sits on the kitchen counter. There are specific pack and prep requirements they have to meet, but it basically works like this: They put an item in a bag, place a bunch of those in a box and send that box to Amazon. Amazon stores those items in a warehouse until an order comes in. Then employees package the item in an Amazon box and ship it to the person. In order to do this, the Herberts use a shipping scale, box cutter, tape gun, tape measure, bubble wrap, Goo Gone, plastic bags, rubber bands, stickers, thermal printers and more. Juston then delves into the finances. On that day, 2.3-ounce containers were going for $6.75 apiece and sold for a profit of about $0.80 each. In another video, he points out that earnings can vary due to several factors, including whether they win the “buy box” that automatically comes up on each listing, the price point they’re competing at and what Amazon charges for packing, shipping and marketing that item. Hypothetically, though, if they picked up 100 Everything But the Bagel seasonings a day for a year and sold all 36,500, they could earn $29,200. For the record, Trader Joe’s says its products are best when sold as part of the in-store customer experience. “We do not authorize the reselling of our products and cannot stand behind the quality, safety or value of any Trader Joe’s product sold outside of our store,” a spokeswoman adds. To Trader Joe’s and Beyond Sellers have flooded Amazon’s listing for Everything But the Bagel seasoning since the video came out, driving the price down and making it not as profitable as it once was. As a result, Kristen says she doesn’t sell it right now. But her mission to help other moms hasn’t changed, so she uses YouTube to take them along as she and Juston source drill bit sets, water bottles, vacuum cleaners and sunscreen from places like Big Lots and Lowe’s. “A lot of my friends sell [multilevel marketing] products like Rodan + Fields, Young Living and Doterra, but I wanted to show that there are other ways to make money in your everyday shopping,” Kristen says. “You’re already at Trader Joe’s. You can pick up this product while you’re there and make money for yourself.” Funnily enough, the Herberts don’t actually like the Everything But the Bagel seasoning. (Juston admits in the video that it’s “not bad” on eggs, but otherwise they’re over it.) They also don’t actually earn the majority of their income from retail arbitrage â€" they say 80% of their income is derived from wholesale. The kids can make it hard to spend hours driving to faraway stores and scouring shelves for clearance items. But that doesn’t mean the couple isn’t always looking for the perfect deal. “There’s always the thrill of the hunt,” Juston says. “It’s exciting. What can you actually find out there?”

Plan B Business Benefits - Work It Daily

Plan B Business Benefits - Work It Daily In a recent blog post, I talked about how you can make a Plan B business work for you and get lifetime rewards. This time I’d like to discuss how my Plan B biz has changed my life and the personal benefits that have made my experience far more than financial. OK, I’m ADD, don’t forget. So, I’m not always as consistent as I could be, and when it comes to keeping things organized, uh... not great. Luckily, I chose a simple system that is hard to screw up. The main premise is that I simply share the information versus SELL (the dreaded “S” word). I am definitely not a sales person. But, as with my career counseling and KidzArt, the franchise I founded, I could “sell” these with my hands tied behind my back. The key is BELIEF. I think this is true of most of us. If we believe in what we are sharing to the core, it becomes more of a mission than a prize, and yet we get both. My personality is such I am not hard driven and will do whatever it takes at any cost, yet I have goals and a desire to succeed. So, for me, this business has gone slower than for others who have powered to millions within a year. The cool thing is I know it is possible. The great news is the only one judging me is me. I can take my time. I’m giving myself 4-5 years to build my business to a residual that will allow me to live a very comfortable life. It is very do-able and takes the pressure off to compare myself to anyone else. I have been a student of “personal growth” in its many forms for 20-plus years. I've attended hundreds of workshops, read many books, and heard some of the best speakers. So, for me being part of an organization where personal growth is emphasized is the primary benefit. How I work this business is a direct reflection on who I am and how I operate in the world. It literally paves the way for me to become the best person I can be. Learning and growing never ends and the leaders in my organization are up there with the best of them. Giving back is another benefit. When I share the information and can help someone else realize his or her dreams, there is no greater reward. I get this double in my career counseling business and in my Plan B business, which also offers numerous volunteer opportunities to help children around the world. It is a company with a heart. Amazing social connections have not come as easy to me since my divorce. So, I looked for a Plan B where building connections was an important element. Mine has put me in touch with some of the most positive, uplifting and interesting people from all walks of life and all ages. We are all in this together and life is too short to be around negativity. There is so much more. Although we are all independent representatives of this company, we are not alone. The support is second to anything I have ever encountered, and tools are available that have helped me in the business and in all areas of my life. The cost is almost ridiculous for what I have received. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very proud of the franchise system I created, KidzArt. It has helped children to build confidence and develop creativity, and entrepreneurs to make a living with art. But it costs thousands of dollars to break even for a franchisee. Yet for this business there is little to no overhead and the cost to begin is about the same as a somewhat high end purse. The value is just not comparable. I realize the franchise industry will probably scold me for this comment, but I have to be honest here. You can become wealthy. I suppose you are wondering why I put this so far down the list? Really there is no good reason. It is one of the facts of this business. Just understand that to become wealthy, you need to become committed and to “work” the business like a Plan A. That is if you want to go to the top. You get to decide. That decision is yours. In a corporate job, you are limited and there will be a ceiling on how much you can make. The BIGGEST BENEFIT. You can do your Plan B Biz very part-time and keep your day job or even develop a career path and pursue your dream career. Yes, you can easily have it all.
