    Isn’t it obvious that an employer would know the basic job duties of these positions? So what has the candidate conveyed. In short, he has said, “I want a good job and I have held these positions.” Not a very compelling message.

    The Humble Postcard Is Making A Comeback
    If you were a contestant on Jeopardy and the answer was "Postcards," what would the question be?How about:"What is one of the most incredibly effective, yet under-utilized methods for driving qualified buyers to your business or website?"Many businesses think postcards are a little old-fashioned for this era of I
    I recently had an individual who asked me to give him a detailed critique of his resume. In doing so, I found myself giving him the most important rules for writing a good resume. You might want to use this same technique to review your own resume.

    His resume started with an Objective that said, “To grow professionally and broaden my horizon as a Pharmacy Technician”. This is not very different from many other resumes, regardless of the position they are seeking. What does it tell an employer? Only that they want a job. Don’t you think the employer who is holding their resume already knows that?

    Next he lists his job experience as so:

    2005 to Present - Acme Studio – Chicago, IL
    Pharmacy Supervisor
    Coordinate and monitor employees’ duties such as supervising cycle medications for skilled facilities.
    Ordering, receiving and distributing pharmaceuticals and DME supplies.
    Maintaining the resolutions of pharmacy errors and resolving pharmacy conflicts.

    So what does this tell an employer? Only that he had a job as Pharmacy Supervisor. Then it lists the basic job duties of that role. It then goes on for 4 more jobs and lists the job duties of those positions.

    Job Security Is Dead! Are You?
    Job security is an out dated concept. The idea is nice: The longer an employee works for a particular company, the more valuable that person becomes to the company in question. But the reality of the current job market is a different story. Every day in the U.S., employees are forced into early retirement, laid off, or fired as a res

    That Super Bowl Snickers Commercial Wasn't Eye Candy To This Mechanic
    To the editor: I read in the newspapers and also saw on the news that the Snickers TV commercial that was shown on the Super Bowl was pulled off the air because it offended gays and lesbians. I’m glad because, although I am not gay, that Snickers commercial really upset me and my co-workers (who are not gay either). To see two guys

    Embrace Rapid Change
    We are living in a very unique time period. Innovation happens faster than we can process it, especially on the internet. If you literally take a week off, you have missed a ton. There's a good chance you missed Google's latest release, Apple's newest iPod, or AOL's legal battle. Take a few months off and you've probably missed the i

    An employer wants to know the skills and experience you can offer them. So instead of an Objective, use a Profile that gives a summary of what you offer. Example: “Over 10 years in Pharmacy leadership positions with a proven track record of driving record levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty.” Do you think an employer might want to know more after reading that?

    Then, for each job, describe what a good job you did. There are many ways to do this, including indicating the challenge you faced, what actions you took, and what the result was. Quite simply, just mention how the organization was better off because you were there. Example: “Introduced improved inventory controls that reduced spoilage and slashed costs 10%”.

    Hopefully, this simple way of reviewing your own resume will give you new insights and help you build the kind of resume that gets employers to call you.
