Creating a Successful Teacher Resume

It's arguably the most important job in the world, but just because you're a passionate, dedicated teacher doesn't mean that you can send in any old resume. You must be able to translate your skills, experiences, and credentials into a document that makes potential employers say, "I want to meet his person!" In fact, you're "teaching" employers about you.

Structuring for Success

These features must be included on your resume. Put them in the order below to maximize readability.

· Identifying information. Like other resumes, you must include your full name, address, phone number, and email address at the top of your resume. Make sure it's big enough to read easily.

· Objective. This is especially important when applying at large school districts because they receive hundreds of resumes and need to quickly identify which pile your resume should be added to. Many teachers-especially at the elementary level-are certified for a broad range of ages and subjects. If employers can't decide whether you want to teach sixth grade social studies or kindergarten, she may toss your resume and move on the next, clearer resume. Be precise: "Seeking a sixth grade language arts teaching position."

· Teaching experience. Start with your current or most recent teaching experience and work your way back chronologically. If you're a new teacher, your student teaching experience-as well as any substitute teaching experience-will make up this section.

· Education. Again, list this in reverse chronological order, and make sure to include any continuing education or professional development you've participated in. If you're a new teacher, put this section above teaching experience.

· Certifications. You can't teach if you aren't certified,and employing someone who isn't qualified is every administrator's worst nightmare. Make it easy for them by putting your certifications and endorsements front and center. If it's in the works, put the anticipated date of your endorsement.

· Career-related awards. If you've been honored with a Golden Apple teaching award or some other education-centered award during your career, make sure you include it. Outside validation goes a long way with school districts.

· Associations and memberships. List the professional organizations to which you belong. For new teachers especially, these associations demonstrate your seriousness about your career.

The following sections are potential add-ins, depending on your situation.

· Profile. If you're an established teacher, a profile section can help define who you are. Think about your qualities, experience, and skills. Example: "A very creative high school history teacher with 10 years of experience, I'm dedicated to eliciting high levels of classroom performance from every student.

· Other work experience. This is only for new teachers or those with a large gap between teaching jobs. Try to play up the "educational" aspects of any job you list. For instance, if you were a docent at a local museum, emphasize how you taught large groups of people about ancient Egypt on a daily basis.

· College honors. Again, this is primarily for new teachers, though if you were a Rhodes Scholar, you're never too far removed from college to include that tidbit!

· Special skills. Like every other employer today, schools are looking to maximize the usefulness of their teachers. If you're fluent in a foreign language, for example, a small district with no current foreign language offerings may give your resume more weight because they can use that skill, as well as your primary teaching area.

Other Tips:

· Incorporate buzz words. If possible-and if it's true, of course-demonstrate your knowledge of and experience with some of the most popular trends in teaching. Things such as "team teaching" (or learning), "hands-on learning," "whole language," and "inclusion" are going to set off happy bells for potential employers.

· Highlight your innovative spirit. Whatever your teaching experience-even if only as a student teacher-you've had to get creative in the classroom. Include a couple of examples of innovative techniques you've developed that are transferable to a new position.

· Emphasize your willingness to be a team player. Teaching is often collaborative, so if you're able to demonstrate how you've contributed your time and skills for the overall benefit of a school-not just your own students-your resume will outshine most others.

It's Shark Week! Explore 5 Rewarding Marine Biology Careers

Ah yes, August is here. The dog days of summer are upon us. And for many, a long-awaited TV event finally arrives: Shark Week on Discovery Channel.

If Jaws scared you so much that you still refuse to go in the water, Shark Week provides another look at these amazing animals, the oceans they live in, and how humans are threatening their survival. (That's right. Believe it or not, we pose a much bigger risk to them than they do to us.) It also gives viewers a chance to see the amazing marine biology professionals who study, observe, and even swim with sharks in action.

Whether or not you're ready to don a wet suit and jump into a shark cage, Shark Week highlights marine biology careers of all sorts. Here's a look at our favorite careers that can put you at the forefront of marine study and conservation.

Marine Biology Careers

If watching Shark Week makes you want to don a snorkel mask, hop into a boat, and study the nocturnal feeding habits of a lemon shark, you should look into become a marine biologist.

Marine biologists are the scientists who study the plants, animals and bacteria that make up the ocean's delicate and elaborate ecosystem. In addition to being familiar with other principles of oceanography, such as chemical oceanography and physical oceanography, most marine biologists focus on one specific species to study throughout their career.

What you'll need to get started:

You will need a bachelor's degree in biology, marine biology, or a related field to get started. From there, you'll also need to pursue a master's and/or a doctorate degree.

Aquatic Scientist Careers

Do you love research? Do you want to be on the brink of environmental studies that can protect and preserve our oceans, lakes, and rivers? You may want to consider a career as an aquatic scientist.

Similar to marine biologists, aquatic scientists study literally everything about the water that covers much of our planet, from the chemical make-up to the temperature at the sea floor. Oceanographers study oceans and ocean life specifically, while limnologists study inland water systems, including lakes, rivers, streams, ponds and wetlands.

Within each of these broader fields, there are specialized scientists who study different parts of our oceans, lakes and rivers. Chemical oceanographers, for example, study and monitor the chemical make-up of the ocean, while physical oceanographers observe the ocean's currents and circulation, and how that affects sea life.

What you'll need to get started:

During your undergraduate education, pursue a bachelor's degree in biology, marine biology, or a related field to get started. The next step is an advanced degree, either a master's and/or a doctorate degree, to give you the research skills you'll need to further your career.

Aquarist Careers

Ever wonder who picks out and cares for those massive fish tanks in your favorite aquarium? Enter the aquarist. These professionals are responsible for collecting the fish in different exhibits, making sure they play nice with each other, feeding them, cleaning their tanks, and watching for signs of illness or injury.

What you'll need to get started:

In general, a bachelor's degree in biology, marine biology, or a related field will help you get started. By volunteering, interning or working at an aquarium, zoo or pet store, you'll gain hands-on experience that will give you an edge in the hiring process. You may also need a SCUBA certification for days when you'll enter the tank to care for and feed your charges.

Marine Mammal Trainer Careers

When you think of a marine biology career, do you think of the marine mammal trainers who swim with Shamu and the other orcas and dolphins at Sea World? If so, you're not alone. Marine mammal trainer careers at zoos, aquariums, and water parks remain some of today's most popular marine biology careers.

In addition to training the animals, marine mammal trainers are also in charge of feeding, cleaning the tanks, monitoring the animal's health, and coordinating with veterinarians and other park employees.

What you'll need to get started:

Although it's not necessary, a bachelor's degree in zoology, biology, psychology, or marine biology is a great way to start this career. You'll also need experience working with animals in a pet store, veterinarian's office, or related business. Volunteering is great way to get your foot in the door for these competitive jobs. And, if you have the time and resources, having a SCUBA certification is also highly beneficial.

Education Specialist Careers

Education specialists are like the docents of the aquarium world. They're the ones who coordinate special visits for school groups to see new exhibits, lead tours of the aquarium, and answer your questions about the suspicious-looking angler fish in the deep sea tank.

What you'll need to get started:

Many education specialists start out in another branch of the marine biology field, including working as an aquarist or helping with marine biology research projects. This means that a bachelor's degree in biology, marine biology or a related field will help you start this career path.

Chicken Soup for Job Seekers

Do you want to change your job but don't know the right way to go about it? Are you vacillating between waiting for your dream job or accepting the first one that comes your way? Or are you a fresher falling in line with what your parents wish you to be rather than what you wish to be? If this is the kind of situation you find yourself in, then the next few minutes will help you get a clearer picture. Here is our bowl of chicken soup for the job seeker's soul. Read on...


Searching for a job today is almost a job in itself because you are spending so much of your time and effort on it. Enthusiasm, excitement, anxiety, frustration and depression-all these are phases one encounters during a job search. The key point is to take this phase positively and persevere till you get that pot of gold at the end of your job search rainbow- your dream job. In today's cut-throat working environment, looking for a job is not just about working hard but about working Smart.


So to stay ahead of the herd, here are a few tips from the team of Naukri.com, India's No.1 Job portal-


1) Set your priorities right -Don't take a decision by simply imitating your friends, batch mates or depending on word of mouth. Be aware of what is really important to you and what is not, because once your priorities are set, things will automatically start falling into their place.


2) Resume writing - Employers are busy people and they hardly spend more than 30-45 seconds on a resume when they have 500 more to scan through. They are not interested in your entire history as they just want to know what you are best at. So, make your resume to the point and clearly showcase your key skills. In fact some recruiters prefer only single page resumes.


Try out the Resume Services provided by our counselors at Naukri.com.


3) Self-marketing is the key - When you are applying for jobs you are actually selling yourself. So, sound confident, positive and persuasive during an interview, but DO NOT exaggerate about your accomplishments.


4) Knowledge of your field - It is very important to know your field thoroughly. Brush up your knowledge on the who's who of the field, current trends, the competition, the dos and the don'ts and so on. Keep yourself abreast with the latest developments by keeping your eyes and ears open.


5) Tools of Job search - you could begin your job search by scanning newspaper classifieds, talking to job consultants and logging on to premier job websites. Be regular in your search, spend ample time on it and follow-up with the companies where you have applied.


For an internet job search and for Jobs in India you can log on to http://www.naukri.com and check out the vacancies available in your field of specialization.


6) Networking - It pays to know people in high places. Or in a job seeker's world "people in the right place". Networking is an important tool that can help you immensely during the job search. Track friends or contacts in the organization you want to be in, talk to them, and they might be able to open new doors for your dream job.


7) Have patience - 'Patience is a virtue'. Being desperate and anxious does not help much, rather it may spoil your job search. If it's your first step towards your career then think before taking each step. Don't feel inferior just because you are a fresher, after all you will be spending time, energy and intelligence on the firm that will hire you. Don't forget the fact that other employees cannot match the energy level of a fresher.


If you are already working somewhere then don't leave the job just because you are not happy. You're marketable because you are already working with a firm and have added work experience and value to your resume. So, wait for a while.

Maintaining Focus in Your Job Search

Unemployment has become rampant the world over. This has led to frustrations among the rising numbers of job seekers, thereby leading to unintelligent choices and decisions in relation to searching for jobs.

Fraudsters and con men have taken advantage on the situation and are luring unknowing individuals into parting with their hard-earned cash or savings. An employment seeker should be very sober and have a clear conscious when looking for a job, as con men are looking for any loopholes and opportunities to defraud the unemployed.

Frustration may lead one to choose on any job opportunity or vacancy that comes his or her way but this is very inappropriate. One should choose a career that he or she is comfortable with and not just any job due to frustration. A job is something that should be carried out with dedication and commitment and at the same time, one should be happy while working. If one chooses any job, doubts will definitely arise as regards to the commitment and happiness of the worker.

A job seeker should have a plan as to what he or she wants to do. The job seeker should make a number of considerations before taking up on a job opportunity. The following considerations could help in making the right decision.

1. What is the career line of the job seeker?

2. What are the requirements and qualifications needed for the available vacancy?

3. Would the available opportunity be enough to support the job seeker?

4. Is the job a permanent one or a short, part-time job?

5. Does the job have any incentives?

The above considerations are the major issues of concern that the job seeker should look at before making any major decision lest he or she regrets.

Construction Jobs Abroad - Overseas Jobs in the Middle East

It's true that the worldwide economic crisis has affected numerous industries, including construction, where companies in various countries have had to cut down on the number of employees they are hiring and retaining. However, certain areas of the world, particularly the Middle East, remain viable options for those who are looking for construction jobs abroad.

According to research undertaken by the Kuwait National Bank, ongoing and planned development projects in GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries -- i.e., the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia -- indicate that jobs will continue to be generated in the years to come. And while the recession has had a big impact on the construction, financial, and information technology industries in the UAE, the job market remains vibrant due to the value of those planned or ongoing projects.

In fact, according to the Kuwait National Bank's study, the aggregate value of those projects is approximately USD 2.1 trillion at the close of the second quarter of 2009. Moreover, the growth of development projects has been promising, at the rate of about 50 percent per annum.

Another promising study, this time conducted by Mercer, showed that approximately 73 percent of companies in the GCC region plan to increase their growth in 2009. One of the ways they aim to do this is by adding to their employee numbers. This "future" trend certainly seems to be true even now. Just browse through the web sites of international recruitment agencies and you will see plenty of job vacancies in the UAE and elsewhere in the GCC.

The region is a popular destination among top-notch expatriate workers in the building industry and other industries for many reasons: no income tax, the progressive yet culturally-rich environment, the diversity of people, etc. It can be an excellent career move for those seeking to work in construction jobs abroad

Picking the right location for you is highly important in terms of career as it will directly influence your attitude in facing your daily challenges ahead in work. If you're a person who can't live without a party now and then, don't try to choose a job that requires you to be away from the city whereas if you're married and very much attached to your family try to go for a job that requires you to work nearby as family can be one of the most valuable assets life has to offer.

Besides that, specialization is also another factor you should take into account. IT job listings have a large and diverse database of jobs to choose from that would not just suit anyone. Taking that into view, remember to always apply for a job that you think you'll have the best chance of doing well and you're willing to learn from it. Do not apply a job for the sake of having a job unless it is your last option. Take time to go through all the possible choices of specialization offered that these jobs require and go for the best ones that will suit your capabilities.

Part Time Jobs - Save Time and Earn Money Extra

First things first, why are you looking to take up a part time job? Is it because you want to break away from the routine and regularity that an every day job brings? Is it because you already have a job and are looking to earn extra money for whatever reason? Is it to constructively use your spare time? Is it because you are studying and want to earn your own cash on the side, or help your parents out with the finances for your family?

Generally speaking part time jobs are a type of employment where you only end up working for a small part of the day or as much/ little as you can afford to work around your existing schedule. Timings are not fixed in every case, and for the most part you get to choose whether you want to work nights, between 12 and 3 in the afternoon or whatever timing suits your convenience. Part time jobs almost always pay by the hour (per word or article if you're a writer, per page if you're doing a data online entry job, or in a sales and marketing job you could be paid a certain percentage/ commission of the income you generate, etc)

Surveys have shown that the people working most on part time jobs are none other than the housewives and homemakers. Taking the responsibility to keep themselves productive while managing life at home, these woman have been able to work at professional jobs - albeit from home - and hence, they can earn their families a steady stream of income. Tough or not, these women seem to be able to balance work and home life well.

There is of course the age factor with part time work. Senior citizens retire, and in an attempt to keep themselves and their minds busy, they take up a part time job. It is especially beneficial to the company in this case, as the senior person has years of experience that they bring with them to the job. It doesn't necessarily pay as highly as a full time job, but it is a dignified way of supporting themselves and staying busy.

You can find ads for available part time jobs online, in local classifieds and other job advertisement areas. Sometimes there will even be posting in local shops and supermarkets.

Perhaps one of the best benefits of taking up a part time job is that you can take several part time jobs simultaneously, or even alongside a regular full time one and thereby earn yourself or your family some extra cash.

This trend is no longer only unique to western countries. Indian citizens are not far behind in finding or posting part time jobs. Online data entry jobs are great for part time solutions. There is no end to the part time job vacancies in India. From IT jobs, to main frame jobs, to telecom jobs, to just about anything, you can find a part time job in just about every sector.

Job Search - Skip the Headache and Reduce Job Search Stress

Searching for your ideal job takes time and effort, as well as knowledge. To reduce the headaches associated with the job search, take a look at these suggestions before you begin to start looking for your next job:

1. Have an idea of what kind of job you are seeking. Signing up willy-nilly for job fairs that specialize in positions that are outside your area of competence is a time-waster.

Be aware of your personal interests, the hours you want to work and your willingness (or lack thereof) to relocate. Make sure that you do not waste time on pursuing a job on the late shift or in another state if that would not fit in with your personal life.

2. Make sure that you have copies (hard and soft) of your resume, clips, samples, portfolio, college transcripts and relevant certifications so you will be able to include them when required.

3. Be aware of where to look for job openings. There are several options, depending on your situation. Here are a few of them:

The Internet - Searching online for job openings is not only a time saver, compared to knocking on doors, it is also less expensive than many of the other available options. You do not need to buy newspapers or magazines to browse through their "help wanted" ads and you do not need to burn any gas in travel. The internet also allows you to cast a wide net (so to speak), searching for jobs all over the country or even in other countries.

Newspapers - Traditionally one of the most widely used sources for job openings, newspapers post ads for jobs that are generally close-by, within easy commuting distance for the paper's readers.

Career/Job Centers - In general, such centers are aimed at young people, especially teenagers seeking their first jobs. Most vacancies at job centers are best suited for those under 18 and are rarely aimed at 20-something college graduates. The vacancies are updated on a regular basis, so if a job center has the kind of work you are looking for, it is a good idea to visit often.

Magazines and Periodicals - Trade publications for a given industry are a good place to look for jobs, as companies are interested in hiring the sort of person who keeps up with their field by reading such publications.

Offices - Most offices have a bulletin board somewhere with job vacancies posted on it. And once you are there, if you have your resume and other documents handy, you can proceed directly to the part of the office where applications are accepted and processed.

Finding Jobs in Ireland During the Recession

Job Prospects in Ireland

Like many other countries in the European Union, Ireland is currently going through a severe economic recession. Conservative figures put the employment rate at between 12%-13%, almost double that of 12 months ago. Construction industry Jobs are down almost 40% and many other sectors are not far behind. Many people would automatically assume that there are no Jobs in Dublin or Ireland, given the fact that there are more people leaving the country than arriving. It is true there are far fewer jobs in Ireland during the present time, but it is still a great country to live in. Ireland is a beautiful place with an exceptional education system, a massive rural and community life and plenty to see and do. It is also the chosen location for some of the largest multinationals in Europe including Facebook, Google, Yahoo and Intel.

The National Job Agency Fas

If you have decided to live in Ireland or you are currently unemployed in Ireland, then your first stop off will be FAS. FAS is a government agency set up to help the unemployed find work and gain training to improve their future job prospects. They have offices in almost every major town, where you can go to search for recent employment vacancies. They also have a massive variety of training courses for almost every career path there is. More importantly, they are there to give you advice and suggestions for almost any problem you may come up against when searching for a Job.

Local Newspapers

Secondly, if you are based in Dublin your must search through the classified section of the Evening Herald, where you will find a selection of recent Job Vacancies to suit any career. Cork City also has the Evening Echo, a daily tabloid with a variety of job listings. Both these newspapers usually contain hundreds of job vacancies from all over Ireland.

The Old Fashioned Walk In

In Ireland, especially in the service industry, it is quite acceptable to make a personal call into a Hotel or Restaurant in order to find a Job. This gives you a good chance of meeting the owner or manager. Irish people like to know how they are hiring, they like to get a feel for the person rather than a quick look at a CV. Remember, Ireland went into recession fast and it can come out of it pretty quickly.

Job Search Online Can be a Quick and Easy Experience

Whether you love them or hate them, at some point in our lives, all of us have to go through the dreaded job search. Have you noticed how difficult it becomes finding work as you get older too? I found myself unemployed at 39 and thought I'd walk into another job within a couple of weeks. Well, there were plenty of vacancies around but despite my carefully prepared resume and well written cover letter, I got but 1 reply to 25 applications over a 3 month period and that was just a simple thanks but no thanks.

Of course, this was a good few years ago now and the medium for finding new work was via the employment agencies, the local rags, or word by mouth. It's so much different these days with the opportunities unveiled with that information super highway. I could have done with a bit of electronic assistance back when I was out of work. It's so much faster than the postal service and much easier to research and follow up too.

Despite this, a job search is still seen as a necessary evil to many folks. A painful and humiliating process that makes them despise themselves with each rejection or ignored application. There are some people, however, that love a good job search. Some employment seekers just can't resist bouncing in and out of different jobs and positions, as they continue setting themselves up for new challenges and or promotions. It is possible to take the sting, the monotony, and the fear out of a job search. Here are a few suggestions on turning this loathing task into one you love.

Okay, so just how do we turn a job search into a less disturbing or intimidating prospect. Well, provided you follow a few basic instructions and guidelines, you can make your job search one heck of a lot more exciting and interesting.

The first big tip of a successful job search is to network. It might be the buzz word of the day, but networking should not be underestimated as a valuable string to your job search bow. You need to get to know as many people in the industry you are targeting as well in allied industries. This way, you will be more likely to hear about your dream job much sooner than anyone else does.

It's a fact that many jobs advertised in publications and on company notice board are taken even before the positions even go puublic. Statistically, it's something like 80%. The reason they are still advertised is a legal one. By law, a new job vacancy should be advertised fairly and for duration before it is filled. Even though a company will know who's filling the position before hand, they still have to go through this procedure to keep the workers rights brigades off of their backs.

The great thing about networking is that it's simple. You just need to join up with a number of clubs and associations that are related to the industry in question. As an example, if say advertising is where you want to be, find out more about the eligibility requirements of the Ad Club in your region. If there are frequent informal meeting of the ad crowd in certain restaurants/pubs in your locality, try to get invited and if you can't, invite yourself somehow. You can also attend seminars and conferences of interest to people in your targeted profession and this way, you could make your job search not just interesting, but fulfilling as well. I'm assuming you're looking for a job that you have a genuine interest in and not just a job for the sake of making a few bob of course.

But there's not just networking. If networking doesn't work for you, you can rely on the proficiency of good consultancy firm to help you land your dream position. Consultants can really be an essential element of any good job search as they work closely with the various industries.

A final tip is to comb online world of classifieds for temporary jobs vacancies. Most companies start off by offering smaller, part-time gigs, and short-term contracts, but if you get in and prove yourself as an asset, you will often be offered a full time post after a period of time.

Whichever method you go for, remember that a job search is only as interesting as you make it. If you convince yourself it's going to be nothing but stress and strife from the outset, then that's what you'll get. Concentrate your time and effort into a smart job search as opposed to a conventional job search and you will surely see the difference.

Job Tips: Finding a Job When You’re Over 50 – Melding the Old With the New

www.employmentmag.com

If you’re over 50 and currently looking for a job in this time of economic downturn, then you’ve probably already either experienced, or heard about, how difficult it is to even get an employer to look at your resume due to your age. It’s almost becoming a cliche – employers don’t seem to want to hire older workers.

This is unfortunate, because older workers have years of on-the-job experience and can really contribute a lot to a company that needs to improve a certain area of their operation. The fact is, there’s now a glut of people looking for a job over 50 years of age. So, if you’re in that category, you’re competing with thousands of others for slim pickings.

In the future, more jobs will be created as the U.S. slowly moves its way out of the current age of confusion and job cutting. It may not seem like it now, but there will come a day when all ages of workers will be welcomed back into the workforce. However, right now, the country is still reeling from the shock of economic meltdown and the immense shedding of jobs that will never return.

But, of course, you already know this. You’re sitting there wondering how are you going to pay your bills and feed yourself and your family in the here and now. Let me just say, that the last thing you should do is become despondent and give up. Instead, accept the fact that your job search is going to be a challenging one, and you’ll need to be aggressive in finding opportunities to earn a living.

What Can You Do for the Employer Now?

At this stage in life, you’ve maybe gone through multiple jobs and done a multitude of different job tasks. That’s to be expected, but that’s all water under the bridge. When you are working on your resume, don’t give employers a litany of things you’ve done over the past 20 years. Instead, keep things current by telling them actions you took in your last position that helped your previous employer increase efficiency, get more customers or make money.

Employers want to hire employees that can be effective for their bottom line. So, you need to know what your more recent experience can do for a future employer. If you’ve had some recent career training classes, this will also help in making you look like you’re someone who is employable in this day and age, as well as, bring real value to the table.

Are You on the Social Networking Bandwagon?

These days, you not only want to use traditional means to conduct a job search, but you should also be plugged into the current online networking community. There are several popular networking sites where 50 something folks are welcome to join. In fact, being included in an online social network means you’re more likely to find those hidden job openings that are just right for your particular skills.

You can also start your own social network group or create your own blog around a certain topic. This activity keeps you current and shows employers that you’re on the ball with the whole web 2.0 trend.

Get in Shape and Spruce Up Your Look

While there’s no way you’ll be able to hide your age, you can do things that will make you appear younger than you are. Start paying attention to your personal health and do things to get your energy level up. If you’re feeling slouchy and slumpy, this will come across to potential employers, and they won’t even be interested in talking to you.

To quickly get your energy going, start exercising regularly and improve your eating habits. Also, be sure to get plenty of rest. You want to still feel youthful and invigorated so that you can show employers that you may have more years, but you’re just as ready to get the job done as any 20-something.

Update your wardrobe so that you look fresh and current. Also, if you’ve been wearing the same hairstyle for ten or more years, it’s time to get something new. If you’re a guy who has a comb over, or is significantly balding, consider shaving your head clean for a more modern look.

Adjust Your Attitude

This isn’t the time to be a wallflower or bitter about your circumstances. Remember, you’re constantly putting out energy to the universe. If your energy is negative, you’ll get back negative things. If it’s positive, then the sky’s the limit. Yes, getting a job over 50 years of age isn’t easy, but if you stay positive and visualize yourself working at your new job, then one day very soon, you may be enjoying a new work experience, and a new chapter in your professional life.

Ways to Make Your Online Executive Brand Come Alive

www.employmentmag.com

As you probably already know, creating an executive brand that flourishes online is just as important as developing your brand in the offline world. More and more recruiters are making their way to the Internet to find their next great talent – and of course, being that talent, you want to make sure that they find you in the easiest way possible. Here are some ways to get this done…

Get LinkedIn ASAP

Signing up for a LinkedIn account is a fantastic way to ensure that professionals you do and don’t know find you online. Creating a profile allows you to list your resume and other branding information, which then allows you to expand your networking horizon in a very short period of time.

What’s also great is that you can connect with old and new acquaintances, some of which may be able to give you a great lead on a new position. When employers are conducting their online checks on potential candidates, your LinkedIn page – which also incorporates the ability to allow your professional acquaintances to recommend you for future work – can give them immediate insight into who you are and why they should hire you.

Make a Twitter Resume

Since everyone who’s anyone is on Twitter, it’s a great idea to set up your own professional page on the site. But you may be wondering how you could accomplish anything on a site that only allows you to post 140 characters at a time.

Well, the answer is actually quite simple. Many professionals have found that even with the small amount of space to post, they can post a link to their LinkedIn page, Facebook profile or other professional site by creating a tiny url and the correct hashtags (ex. #executives) that link people to their profiles.

Start a Blog

Creating your own professional blog is taking a huge – and very beneficial – step toward nurturing your executive brand. A blog allows you to not only draw attention to yourself as an executive, but also share your expertise with the world. Most executives start a blog to share their personal and insights as a high-level professional in their industry. You could do the same to build your online executive brand.

Don’t Forget Your Google Profile

It’s also important at the executive level to create and develop a Google profile. The profile is similar to a Facebook profile in that it is not necessarily designated for a professional person. However, it’s a great resource for those who want to direct Google traffic to specific professional information.

The Google profile allows you to list your resume, links to your blogs and any other sites you want post. But even more important is that when someone searches your name in Google, the profile should be the first search item that the search engine pulls up. This helps to direct traffic to you in a professional manner rather than allowing recruiters or prospective employers to dig and run into the wrong information.

There’s no doubt that an online executive profile is very important in this day and age. So if you want to get noticed by companies, it’s a good idea to make your online executive brand come to life.

Career Prospects For a Nurse Practitioner

www.employmentmag.com

A career in nursing will be the most satisfying and challenging one in more than one aspect. The nursing profession provides innumerable opportunities for specialization in any one area of healthcare, which will not only be satisfying to a nursing professional to give his or her best, but also highly remunerative.

The ever-increasing need for specialized care and assistance in every field of medical diagnosis has opened the doors for specialization in specific areas. Now we have nurses in hospitals for different department and specialized courses for each type. For example, we have oncology nurse, cardiovascular nurse, travel nurse, military nurse, surgical nurse and such other things.

One of the many options available in nursing profession is that of becoming a Nursing Practitioner. A career as a Nurse Practitioner makes you look beyond nursing and entitles you to claim to be a quasi-qualified doctor. Before dwelling more on the qualifications and prospects about a career as Nurse Practitioner, let us discuss the responsibilities of a nurse practitioner.

Contrary to the role of a registered nurse who acts on the direction of a physician, a nurse practitioner is entitled to handle a large number of issues related to healthcare. They are entitled to provide treatment to minor injuries, and other common health related issues. In fact, nursing practitioners offer an opportunity to get relative cheaper treatment from them, instead of visiting a specialist doctor even for minor ailments.

The common things that a nurse practitioner is entitled to do without the intervention of a physician include the following tasks:

- Nursing Practitioner can perform physical examination of health condition, record patient’s history and also prescribe laboratory tests

- Nursing Practitioner is entitled to provide prescriptions and also coordinate referrals

- A nursing practitioner can execute certain medical procedures such as lumbar puncture, even in the absence of a doctor

- A nursing practitioner is entitled to provide pre-natal care as well as family planning services, and such other related services, basically, without the need to seek the advice of a qualified doctor.

Requirements of a Nurse Practitioner

To become a Nurse Practitioner, one needs to have acquired some qualifications. He or she should be a registered nurse. In other words, the nurse should have the completed either a) a 4-year degree course on nursing and get the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) certificate., or b) completed the Associate Degree in Nursing, or have taken up diploma courses conducted by many hospitals.

After the basic graduation degree and license as a Registered Nurse, one needs to take up Masters Degree for Nursing and complete it to become a Nurse Practitioner. In other words, the minimum academic qualification for a Nurse Practitioner is a Master’s Degree of Science in Nursing.

In addition to master’s degree, a registered nurse should have experience in clinical training to practice. Then he or she can obtain a license from the appropriate authority to work as Nurse Practitioner and carry out the duties and responsibilities.

The demand for nurse practitioners is on the rise with increasing specialized patient care facilities. Thus, it is worth exploring the option of becoming a Nurse Practitioner.

Here’s Your Sign! Increase Teacher Productivity With Signs

www.employmentmag.com

Being productive sometimes requires that you announce to others or even give yourself a reminder of what you are trying to accomplish. Handy signs can actually be a big benefit to you as an educator, and can help to enhance your productivity level. Making your own signs is fun and easy – and you’ll see from the ideas below how simple signs can be useful in keeping you “on task” and helping others stay focused as well. You can make signs on plain paper with a marker, or you can use sticky notes for small signs on your computer monitor.

Remind yourself of what you are doing and why you are doing it. For example, a simple sign that reads, “If I Died Right Now, Would This Task Matter?” or “What Should I Really Be Doing Right Now?” may help you focus on your priorities and determine what really matters on your to-do list. If you have a particular task that you need to complete but are afraid that you might overlook it amid the chaos of the day, make a sign for it. For instance, “Grade Papers to Return Tomorrow”. Tape the simple handwritten sign that is reminding you of what you are doing in a very visible (to you) area.

Use handmade signs to remind you of what your focus for the day needs to be – but don’t overlook your longer term “focus” as well. For example, if you have a particular goal for your future, keeping a hanging reminder of it can help you stay on the right track and perhaps see things in the “bigger scheme”, such as “Master’s Degree within the Next Five Years”.

Add humorous reminders that may make you smile (and think). If you have been looking to get rid of “junk” from the classroom, for example, you might choose a sign like “Postponed Decisions Are the Equivalent of Clutter”. Inspire yourself with handmade signs like “Breathe” or “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff”. Want to stop a bad habit? Remind yourself of it with a sign that does just that, such as “Stop Biting Your Nails” or hang a sign beside your phone that reads “Do Not Interrupt Others While Talking”.

Use signs to tell other people what you need them to do or want them to do. For example, if you place a stack of books in the teacher’s lounge that you no longer want, place a sign on them that say “Free to Good Home – Take Them All”. This will keep you from being interrupted by people asking you why your books are stacked in the teacher’s lounge.

Keep people from disturbing you with a “Do Not Disturb” sign that tells them why you wish not to be disturbed, such as “Please Do Not Disturb – Planning” or so on. You can accomplish so much more if you don’t allow for interruptions – and don’t allow interruptions to occur in the first place. Don’t worry, other educators will know just where you are coming from and probably applaud your gutsiness in demanding not to be disturbed!

Applying For a Job? Apply These Tips!

I have been reviewing resumes, responding to email and interviewing employment candidates my entire career and I have compiled a list of do's and don'ts that will most assuredly make a difference when you are applying for your next job.

No typos! Proofread your cover letter and resume well to ensure that there are no typographical or grammatical errors and ask a family member or friend to do so as well. Nothing gets your resume thrown in the trash quicker than errors. Why? If you make errors on these critical documents, an employer wonders what the quality of your work will be like if you were hired.

No employment history gaps! If you took time off to go to school, raise a child or care for an elderly parent, say so. Gaps in employment are huge red flags for employers.

If you are contacted via email to discuss a potential position and/or to set up an interview, proofread your email as well as you proofed your resume and cover letter. This is an excellent chance to make a great impression so also be clear, concise and kind in your prose.

Be timely in your email exchanges. If you only log into email once per day, this is the time to change that practice. While you are in active dialogue with a prospective employer, log in often so you can wow them with your responsiveness.

If you are invited for an interview, even though business casual is the norm these days, here is another chance to make a wonderful impression. You can never be overdressed. A business suit is never a bad idea in this situation. Equally important are your shoes being in good repair and if you are female, your handbag. Bring a notebook and pen to take notes. Not only does it keep your nervous hands busy, but it also shows the prospective employer that you are very interested in what they have to say.

Shake the interviewer's hand and look him or her squarely in the eye. Stand up straight and smile. Never sit at the head of the table which is a position of authority.

Ask questions. Come up with questions in advance so you don't feel put on the spot. Asking questions again shows interest, that you are thoughtful and that you want to make a well-informed decision should you be offered the position.

Be enthusiastic and wear a smile. Don't tell the interviewer that you are nervous. They already know that. Don't talk too much, but don't be shy either. A good back and forth dialogue is comfortable for everyone.

After the interview, shake the interviewer's hand, thank them for their time and then send a thank you email or even more impressive is a hand-written thank you note. Obtain the business card(s) of the individual(s) you interviewed with before departing if possible.

Follow these tips and you will definitely wow your future employer and when you actually land and start the job, keep all of these tips in mind as they will assure you a successful career!

How to Have a Good Phone Interview For a Telecommuting Position

www.employmentmag.com


Phone Interviews are necessary in the world of work-at-home individuals. There are tips in handling the very stressful phone interview. With these tips any potential new hire can relax, knowing they are prepared.

Telecommuting is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as, “…to work at home by the use of an electronic linkup with a central office.” There are many telecommuting jobs online. These jobs are actual employment and not Independent Contractor positions. They offer benefits and paid time off. However to actually be hired by a business offering a telecommuting position, you may have to endure the dreaded phone interview. This interview will be more successful for you if equipped with knowledge.

Tips for a Successful Interview

- Rehearse what you might say before your interview. Get a family member to practice with you. Practice sample questions like, “Why do you want to work from home?” or “What attracts you to our company?”

- Have your resume in hand before the interview begins. Be prepared by also having a pen and paper to jot notes on during the interview.

- Make sure you allow yourself plenty of un-interrupted time for the interview. An hour should be enough time. You want to be in a quiet room where there is no noise.

- When the interviewer calls, stand up and talk with him. Your voice sounds stronger when you stand. Also, throughout the phone conversation, try and remember to smile. A smile can be heard on your voice.

- Be professional, courteous, and mannerly. Avoid speaking negatively about your former employer.

- Present yourself to be a good communicator.

- Speak in a clear voice, void of colloquialisms, such as, “Yeah… Uh-huh…you betcha…”

- Avoid yes/no answers and instead give answers in full complete sentences.

- Avoid mental pauses, such as, “Uh… um…”or the dreaded silence or dead air time.

- Do repeat or re-phrase questions or word choices. This lets the interviewer know you have listened to them while it also gives you a moment to think about your answer.

- Ask questions. Write down all questions you may have before the interview when you are not nervous. Check off each question as it is answered during the course of the interview. Ask any un-answered questions following the interview.

- Don’t ask any questions about payment until the final stages of the interview process.

- Follow-up the interview with a thank you card. Make sure you thank them for taking time out of their schedule to speak with you over the phone. You may want to write something in the card which will jog their memory of your conversation.

Conclusion

Telecommuting is the act of working at home. Telecommuting phone interviews are much like face-to-face interviews in the fact that it gives the future employer a chance to get an impression of their potential employee. However, with a phone interview you do not have the chance to dress to impress or use facial expressions. You have to work harder in a phone interview to convey proper communication. Equip yourself with knowledge of interview skills to help you have a successful phone interview.
