How to Write a Good Resume For a Specific Job

How to Write a Good Resume For a Specific JobIf you are looking for ways to write your resume, then you have probably tried your hand at other resumes and noticed that they either didn't make you stand out, or that they felt rushed and did not give you enough time to lay out your experience. If you are the type of person who likes to get things done the right way, then you should definitely know that a resume that is just about the same as the one in front of you, just isn't going to get you anywhere. You need to take the time to look at a resume that is different from the others, and you need to find a way to make it stand out.To make a resume that really stands out, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. One of these is to make sure that you make yourself presentable, even if you are working part-time. A well-designed resume will help you with that and show that you are a good person to hire. If you are a work at home mom, then maybe you should be sure to make yoursel f presentable in this area.Another tip is to make sure that you use a variety of formatting techniques in your resume. There are many different types of formats to choose from, so if you can find one that will work for you, then you should definitely do that. With that said, the more different formats you can use, the better. A resume that uses just one format doesn't tell the reader anything, and so using several formats in a row can do wonders for you.Perhaps the most important things to remember are that it should not be grammatically correct, and also that it should tell the reader something. The thing about resumes is that they are supposed to give the employer some kind of information about you, and these two factors should be considered when you are trying to come up with a good resume. Make sure that you use an effective resume template in order to accomplish this, as well as tomake sure that you do not copy-paste the same information over again.In addition to all of this, a resume should be short, concise, and to the point. It should not overdo itself, and it should give the employer everything they need to know about you in just a few lines. There are plenty of places on the internet where you can find great templates that are short and to the point, and that can help you in making sure that you make the right impression on the hiring manager.Writing a good resume should be a skill that you have. As with all things, practice is the best teacher, and you can do a lot of practice, by using the resources that are available to you. There are resume writing tips available, and many companies offer online workshops, or they may even have a resume writing kit that can give you a head start. All of these things will help you put together a resume that will show that you are someone who is worth the time and effort put into it.Resume writing is just a skill that you need to develop, but one that can prove to be very useful for you in your career. If you take the time to look at a resume that is different than the ones in front of you, then you will be giving yourself a leg up in the competition for a job that is only open to the best of the best.

Game of Thrones Who Makes the Jewelry

Game of Thrones Who Makes the Jewelry There’s a scene in the fifth season of Game of Thrones that made fans lose their ever-loving minds. Daenerys, a.k.a. Khaleesi, a.k.a. the Mother of Dragons, finds herself in the middle of an ambushed sword fight. As the people around her drop like flies, her beloved dragon shows up in the nick of time and puts the hurt on some swarthy barbarian-types. It’s an important plot point and it got all the usual accolades. But not for the usual reasons. This time around, a dragon-shaped necklace that cuffs Daenerys’ neck like a silver safety harness stole the show. A genius bit of costumery-as-foreshadowing, the piece resonated with fans, and after the episode aired, many took to social media to ask for their own. “There was an immediate response to it,” says jewelry designer Eliza Higginbottom. “It’s a real turning point in Khaleesi’s story, and she’s wearing this sterling silver dragon that’s a display and protector at once. There’s a lot of symbolism there.” Higginbottom and her husband, fellow designer Yunus Ascott, collaborated with Throne’s costume designer Michele Clapton to create the now-iconic necklace. After fans went gaga for it, the trio launched an online jewelry brand, with earrings, wrist cuffs, and rings inspired by, and sometimes worn on, the show. The line starts at about $100, and goes up to $2,730 â€" the price of a handmade replica of the dragon necklace from season five (cash strapped GOT diehards can get a stripped-down version of the piece, sans wings, for a cool $2,000). Sculptors by trade, Higginbottom and Ascott are relatively new to the fashion world. The London-based pair fell into jewelry design sort of haphazardly. While mucking around with some experimental sculptures in 2008, they made a miniature piece, modeled after the Greek god Poseidon, that was small enough to wear as a ring. A journalist from The Independent spotted the design on a visit to the couple’s studio, and ran a photo in the UK newspaper. The couple quickly brainstormed a company name, and mocked up a website to direct prospective buyers to. Now, it’s their full time gig. “Yunus Eliza,” as it stands today, is a bespoke jewelry brand that blends wide swaths of art history â€" a Salvador Dali-inspired ring that lets negative space drip around the wearer’s finger, a cuff that invokes the figureheads on old viking ships, a colorful mask necklace that looks almost Vaudevillian. The entire line ranges from $400 to $15,000, Higgenbottom says. courtesy of the subjects True to their sculpture background, Higginbottom and Ascott start each new design by molding it into wax, and use hot pens and fine tools to make changes as they go along. Once perfected, they cast the wax into fine metal, like the sterling silver shown on Thrones. “Because we’re not trained as jewelers, we don’t have to conform to a certain way of doing things,” Higginbottom explains. “We don’t have to worry about how a traditional ring sits on your finger, or the steps it takes to get it there. Our jewelry doesn’t just sit with you, it’s a symbiotic relationship.” Higginbottom declined to give specific sales figures, but says their personal line seen a bump in sales since the HBO partnership. Two seasons later, the trio has collaborated again for the latest iteration of Thrones. Higginbottom can’t give many details, but she says fans will know the piece when they see it. courtesy of the subjects It was a logical pairing, she adds. Higginbottom, Ascott, and Thrones’ Clapton have a shared aestheticâ€"a mix of old and new; renaissance and science fiction â€" and an interest in creating jewelry that “reveals the intent of its wearer,” Higginbottom says. As for the rabid nature of Thrones fans, she admits that her recent work has forged an unlikely path to success. But she credits one person, really. “The association with such a global hit is great for exposure and building brand strength,” she says. “Everybody wants to be a bit like Khaleesi.”

This Linkedin Lawsuit May Make You Consider Deleting Your Account - Work It Daily

This Linkedin Lawsuit May Make You Consider Deleting Your Account - Work It Daily Social media has destroyed privacy, and it’s not the users we should be worried about. It’s the developers of the platforms. Related: What Your Social Media Says About You To Employers In 2010, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg was on record stating that “the age of privacy was over.” He went on further to explain, if he were to create Facebook again today, user information by default would be public, not private as it was for years until the company changed dramatically in December. When the founders, co-founders and developers of social media platforms are confronted with the question of privacy, they often answer the question with a pseudo-philosophical response about how the world is evolving and everyone is becoming more connected. This is nonsense. The real reason these platforms are continually exposing more of their user’s private information to the public is to monetize their platforms. As a social media marketing manager for seven years, I’ve seen social media rise since it's infancy. I’ve also done a great deal of ad buying. One of the things that’s always been a hinderance to conversions (leads and sales) has been the lack of information social platforms such as Facebook or Twitter offer to advertisers. This makes for terrible conversion rates because the demographic you advertise to is too broad. As such, Facebook is constantly on the prowl to gain more personal information from their users. Linkedin has apparently taken notice of advancing their ad platform as well, which is why they’re facing a class-action lawsuit. You should be very concerned. The lawsuit alleges that a product developed for premium users (typically job recruiters or employers) violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a law passed in 1970 to protect people from being unfairly denied access to a mortgage, credit, or employment based on a background check or credit report. The product being referred to is Linkedin’s “Reference Search” tool. This tool allows premium users to check the references of a Linkedin user and send them a private message using Linkedin’s Inmail system. This opens up Pandora’s Box for obvious reasons, because it allows a recruiter or employer to contact a prospect’s former co-workers or employers to ask for details about a job candidate that are not allowed to be legally obtained, according to employment laws in most states. Instead of simply saying yes or no to the question, “Do you deem person X hireable?” a conversation could carry on about a person that leads into illegal territories by exposing excessive information about a job candidate that leads them to being denied for a position. This is especially true when considering that a prospective employer could contact a former co-worker of a job applicant who may not have a favorable opinion of that person. That opinion could then be used to sway the opinion of the hiring manager or recruiter, and therein lies the problem. This is a gross violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. At least, I think it is. In case you think this is all a bunch of theories and hypothetical circumstances, you’d be wrong. One person involved in this class-action lawsuit has had a prospective employer come forth who admitted to denying her a job because of a reference she contacted from Linkedin. Linkedin claims that the information premium users have access to is information that the user’s have already made public, which takes them off the hook legally. Unfortunately, that’s true. By nature of Linkedin’s public resume’ platform, your career history and everyone you’ve worked for and worked with is on display for the entire world to see. So, is Linkedin really responsible for the abuse committed by those who use their platform? The answer to that question is irrelevant. The real question is, do you feel comfortable continuing to be a member of Linkedin, knowing that the information you opt to post publically can be used against you? The most frightening thing is that you could have been denied jobs and didn’t even know it because backdoor conversations could have been taken place without your knowledge.
