#jobhuntchat Free job search advice, anyone Career Coach JobJenny (I'm resisting the overwhelming urge to make any sort of reference to Charlie Sheen and #winning as I prepare to share deets on this awesome Twitter resource for job seekers. Mostly because I know that Rich DeMatteo, co-founder of this massively popular weekly chat is completely over all things Sheen. But also? Because this post is about job search resources, not goddesses, lawsuits or tiger blood. Let us continue.) Interested in a weekly dose of free job search advice from a bunch of career coaches, recruiters, resume writers, HR people and fellow job seekers? Then you will absolutely want to check out #jobhuntchat, a weekly conversation that goes down every Monday (10PM ET) on Twitter. Launched in 2010 by job search experts Rich DeMatteo (best known for his blog CornOntheJob.com) and Jessica Merrill-Miller (who blogs at Blogging4Jobs.com,) #jobhuntchat hasquickly become the most popular and most visited Twitter chat for job seekers. It's a very cool resource. I hit Rich up on Skype last week to get the complete lowdown on #jobhuntchat. And here is what he had to say: To someone who hasn't seen it before, what exactlyis #jobhuntchat? Basically, it's a place to gain free advice, learn about tools and trends within the hiring arena, and meet other people that share a common interest, which is job search and careers. Every Monday from 10-11PM ET, we just take random questions from people -- job seekers, recruiters, career coaches, bloggers... really, anyone involved in the career field. We post the questions and then everyone shares their opinion and expertise. Why should a job seeker participate in #jobhuntchat each week? By participating, a job seeker can find a ton of free advice from professionals in the field, all in one spot. Job advice is very opinion-based and depends on the person, so you can get a mass amount of experience and opinion, glean what seems most relevant, and then apply it to your own efforts. It's free, it's engaging and it's quick, easy and fun. For someone new to Twitter, what's with the #? The # is a Twitter hashtag. These are the symbols that precede certain words or phrases within some tweets. The purpose of a hashtag is to create an organized way for Twitter users to follow tweets around a certain topic or theme. So, with #jobhuntchat, a job seeker can simply search under the term and follow along with all the tweets related to thegroup.Much like an actual conversation. What are the best things to come out of #jobhuntchat thus far? Well, for sure, it's nice to see it gaining in popularity and helping lots of people. Typically, we have about 150 people on at a time, but we recently reached 300 people in one chat, with 2,000 tweets in that hour. We've also just launched an official website, JobHuntChat.com, which offers job seekers ongoing services and free resources on a 24/7 basis. More proof that social media is changing the job search game. And another resource you absolutely should check out. Thanks, Rich.

How Many Years of Work Experience Do I Need to Include on My Resume?

How Many Years of Work Experience Do I Need to Include on My Resume?In resume writing, knowing how many years of work experience a person has provided you with the necessary facts to hire or not hire someone. If a resume has too many years of work experience and they are not relevant information, then there will be something wrong with it.Therefore, you must always be sure to include this sort of information when writing a resume. It can either be related to a previous position or a position that the person was previously employed in. The objective is to highlight the most relevant years of work experience for the current position they are seeking.The actual resume should always reflect the overall nature of your career. For example, a student who works part time during the course of their degree should have their current position covered in their resume. In fact, a resume where the positions are not highlighted should be reviewed in order to ensure that the positions the person is s eeking are not covered in their resume.If you are a manager and find a certain position that a person's career has taken them to, you may wish to ask them about it. You may be able to uncover something that the person would have been happy to have been covered on their resume. In general, there are a number of factors that affect how many years of work experience a person has. These factors include time spent working, which industry they are currently in, specific positions they held before, skills they possess, the industry they currently work in, the type of work that they do, and the industry they intend to enter.The reason why you want to be sure to include this information on a resume is that it gives you the ability to put more emphasis on these aspects as well as bring up how many years of work experience the person has, in relation to their current position. For example, if a person has had many different jobs before landing on their current position, you may wish to highlig ht this as a positive aspect in their resume. This is because these kinds of aspects may have made them more skilled and adept for their current position.The best thing to do is to always think about your potential hires as if they were already in your company, so you can see if there is any reason why you may not need to highlight any of their possible past positions on their resume. Of course, since they have not done work for your company, you should not highlight this. Therefore, make sure that you are certain that your new employee has worked for your company before.Although, many employers need to ask the question, how many years of work experience does the applicant have, the idea is to highlight the most relevant years of work experience, which are relevant to the job that is currently being sought. Of course, it is easier to highlight work experience that the person has had previously, when compared to work experience that the person has not had previously.In resume writing , knowing how many years of work experience a person has can allow you to set the stage for success or failure with your job applicant. As you can see, there are a number of advantages that hiring managers can gain by knowing this information.

Breaking Down the Job Search for College Students Using Alcohol

Breaking Down the Job Search for College Students Using Alcohol 7 Flares 7 Flares Zach  Groth  is a senior at Ball State University. On the post-graduation job search himself,  Zach has job experience in corporate, government, nonprofit and student-run organizations. You can tweet him any questions, concerns or blog ideas on Twitter at  @zgroth. . Graduating is inevitable. Landing that dream job is not. You’re going to have to work for it and there are so many different ways you can accomplish that goal. As college students we know a lot about a lot of different topics. One of those topics is not the job search. How can we be expected to be experts at something we have never done before? We can’t. So let’s break it down into terms that college students will understand: alcohol. The first step to landing your dream job is sculpting the perfect cover letter. Are you spending a little bit too much time out and not enough on crafting the perfect cover letter? Well, use that knowledge you have gained at the bars to transfer your skills into landing the perfect job.   Not all cover letters are going to be the exact same even though your goal may be. You wouldn’t send the same cover letter to every company, would you?   Your tone in the cover letter is your first impression, so how can you mix things up? Take a sip from some of your favorite drinks. Beer: Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world, so naturally this cover letter would have to be the most popular cover letter. Keep it informative and casualâ€"there is no need to get too crazy off of beer. But how can you differentiate yourself in the beer world? Add a little hop to it! Provide clear examples of your experience or share a specific project that you have worked on that ties into what the company does. Wine: You’re a classy individual, so a wine-inspired cover letter might do the trick. Proper grammar and eloquent wording will craft strong and memorable sentences that are sure to leave a sweet taste in the employer’s mouth. Just as you know your favorite wine, know the company and share that with them. Tequila shot: If you are determined to land this position, make your cover letter straight and to the point. Use beefy words to highlight your skills that make you the best candidate for the job. To knock out that shot, make sure you are clear about following up with them on a specific date. They just might be looking for someone with a little spunk like you! Long Island Iced Tea: The (sometimes) dangerous, yet delicious Long Island can turn into one of the best cover letters. A mixture of a little bit of everything can be crafted into something delicious that pulls the employer in time and time again. Grab your reader’s attention by using zesty and expressive words; don’t be afraid to share a positive experience that you have had with the company. By mixing together emotions, logic and your personal skills, no employer will put this concoction down. Rum and Coke: Just like rum and coke, this cover letter letter appeals to all audiences. Write about things you have accomplished that could impress any reader. This drink is a classic, and you can’t go wrong with that. Make sure your cover letter goes over as easily as this drink goes down, leaving them with a bubbly and golden impression. Gin and Tonic: Sometime you need a little (or lot) of GT in your life. Just like GT you’re simple. Your cover letter should simple; you’re an open book and people tend to enjoy your company. Be that person who writes their cover letter then awes employers with you resume. Be the lime! Once the bartender reaches for the fruit tray, grabs that lime and squeezes the juice into your simple drink it is transformed. You know have an inexplicably tasteful beverage that is hard to decline. Be hard to decline. Next time you’re at the bar and you are sipping on your favorite drink, think about what it says about your personality. Blend those elements into your perfect cover letter. You’ll never go wrong. Good luck.

Communication Breakdown

Communication Breakdown I need this building permit picked up today.   It expires today and we dont have a GC [general contractor] assigned who can get it.   Can you take care of it? That was the exercise that landed in my email box on Friday. Now first off know that Fridays suck as a day for visiting jurisdictions.   Many arent even open on Fridays.   The good news was this one was open. The second problem is people have a habit of disappearing on Fridays.   Taking vacations or just disappearing.   You knowthey just arent reachable for some reason. So here I am trying to round up a way to pull this permit so it doesnt expire. So I email my go-to guy who has a guy (doesnt everyone have a guy?) who drives all over Northern California to pick up permits.   Thats his job.   And he does it well. Im feeling pretty good that this thing can happen. So I get an email back.   Yes.   Can probably make it happen.   Just need the permit information.   I realize when I forwarded the email the building permit PDF wasnt attached.   No problem.   Resent with the attachment.   All good. And then it wasnt.   “Communication BreakdownIts Always The Same” Led Zeppelin This jurisdiction doesnt take credit cards.   Need a check.   Now in the old days that would have been a deal killer.   Because ordering a check means a week-long process (the corporate guys had a funny issue with local markets spending and not accounting for their petty cash fund very well and having to spend a boatload of time following up to get the receipts). But it this case were better.   We have check writing ability in our market.   Yeah ?? So all I need is aOracle number.   That beautiful, wonderful 7-digit accounting number that lets me charge stuff to a project. One problem Ive never had to give anyone an Oracle number for this project.   It is a new project.   And my boss is the one who does the finances for the program.   And given that it is a program management project where were not doing the day to day site acquisition and construction work directly, we dont cut many (at this point any) checks.   And the other expenses are all automatically coded to the right 7-digit Oracle number automatically behind the scenes.   I dont see them. Thus my quandary. Now normally Id ask my boss right?   Logical question since he does the the POs and invoicing.   He, or his accounting staff, would have that right at their fingertips.   Easy, peasy. Another problem.   Hes in the hospital. Not good. How about my bosss boss.   He should know it too. Hes in the hospital too. I hope this isnt something I can catch.   Maybe wireless isnt a good line of work Not a big deal.   This is a big company with lots of people.   Just ask, right? So I start with my local project controls person from my last project.   Shell know, right?   I call her. No answer.   Voicemail. Who else? I try the guy who codes our expense checks.   But he does what hes always done.   And it is automatically coded so he doesnt have the number either. So I email a guy on the same program but in another region (found him on an email my boss sent). No answer to my phone call but after I email him he doesnt know but forwards to someone he thinks might know. So I call my friend in the Seattle market who I worked with up there and asked her.   She did all the data stuff so thought she might have a hack to find the info.   Nope.   She only does the data side and doesnt know how to track that bugger down.   But she gives me her accounting guru and says she probably has a way to find out. So I call her.   Voicemail.   Nothing. So I call another friend at the company who works in the Seattle market.   I reach him.   Perfect.   Only problem.   Hes in Cabo on vacation.   Hes got a drink in his hand on the beachhes got the right ideabut he doesnt know either.   Darn. So I think.   There was a guy who set things up nationally initially.   He was a data guy.   Lets call him. Get him on the phone.   Awesome.   Only problem.   He was laid off two weeks prior due to the site count reduction on the program.   And he doesnt know anyway.   But if I know of a job opening, hes open to referrals. Okay.   Starting to run out of go-to people to run this down. Then it happens. Ding, ding, ding. I get an email back from one of my guys guys.   The winning golden ticket.   The 7-digit Oracle number. It has only taken half a day to track down.   But Ive got it.   I send it to the guy who will have the permit picked up. Hes off and running. But He calls the jurisdiction and finds out It has already been picked up. WHAT??? (or insert appropriate expletive) When this whole thing started there was a GC who wed been talking to about picking up this permit.   They said since the project hadnt been bid out yet they werent willing to pick up our BP without having the award of work. So wed moved on to other options. But in the meantime they thought, We cant let this expire and have to have the permit started from scratch.   That would suck.   Were a good company who cares.   We should just pick it up anyway and see where things head with this project.   We should help them out. Good thought process. Only problem. They didnt tell anyone they were doing it. Communication breakdown. and as all those in wireless telecom know.   We suck at communicating.
