Q: I am getting very few responses. How can I improve my resume? A: To generate calls, it is about clarity, relevance, and impact. Use clear headings, bullet points, and a consistent font size. Recruiters spend 6–10 seconds on a first scan. It’s essential to tailor your resume for the job. Many resumes get screened by ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems), so include the required skills, software, or certifications. It is imperative to show results, not just duties. Measurable accomplishments make you stand out. Lastly, use a professional email address, and include your LinkedIn profile link that mirrors your resume. [...]

Q: How often should I update my resume? A: Updating your resume is a close second to having to search for a new job on the misery scale, so periodically updating it through your career may save you a headache. Trying to recall responsibilities from a position you no longer have can be challenging. If you update your resume in real time while you are at your current position, you can recall specific statistics, programs, and responsibilities much more easily. If you do encounter a company or stumble upon a position that you are interested in, your resume is [...]

Is College Tuition Tarnishing the Future of Our Workforce?

2022-12-16T08:39:34-05:00General News, Uncategorized|

According to a recent national report, higher-education enrollment has declined for the third consecutive year following the coronavirus pandemic. Though smaller than the previous year’s decline of 3.1%,  the return to pre-pandemic enrollment is not happening as quickly as universities would like. Inflation paired with exorbitant tuition is likely deterring students from enrollment, and students are left questioning if the benefits are worth the investment. […]

What is Your American Dream?

2022-12-14T10:08:46-05:00General News, Motivation, Uncategorized|

The “American Dream,” a phrase coined in 1931, in a best-selling book entitled Epic of America, remains a part of the American ethos nearly a century later. Author, James Truslow Adams described it as, “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” Is it a figment of our imagination, or is achievement in the hands of those willing to take the risk?

Is Team Building a Thing of the Past?

2022-05-20T10:27:31-04:00Uncategorized|

Has team building become a thing of the past? I can vividly recall as little as 10 years ago, in each of the jobs I worked, having a team bonding day. A day where the employees got together outside the office, had some food and talked about anything other than work. One day out of the year to show appreciation for not just the employees, but those who steered the ship as well. Now, you’re lucky if you get a holiday luncheon. Something that we may have all grunted about having to attend is now a thing of the past [...]

Is Your Productivity Lacking?

2022-05-09T14:41:48-04:00Behind the Scenes, Job Efficiency, Uncategorized|

If you feel like your productivity has been slowly dwindling, you may not be alone. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a 4.5% increase in productivity, including 2.6% in the US which Is the largest recorded increase since the 1970s. One of the few silver linings brought on by a seemingly endless year. Unfortunately for us, what goes up, must come down. Productivity flatlined in 2021 and is projected to actually revert by 0.2% in 2022. The question is, why? Is it due to increased hours of work as the economy reopens? Perhaps due to the effects of The Great Resignation? Or [...]
