A Finance Resume Makeover

A Finance Resume MakeoverA Finance Resume MakeoverJan Jobseeker (name withheld for confidentiality) had a good professional background but her approach to the organization and content of her old resume was haphazard and very two-dimensional. She had outlined her basic job descriptions and then provided one achievement for each position. As we all know, you dont hold a job for seven years and only have one accomplishment to tout. Jan was leid selling the totality of the value she offered to employers.Expanding the ProfileThe first thing we did in the new resume was expand the profile section from one simple sentence to a more comprehensive description of her background and expertise. We also added a job headline, or branding line, for increased clarity and focus so recruiters would know immediately where she fits. Recruiters need to know what a client does straight away making them guess or being vague only hurts the impact of the resume.Enhancing SearchabilityIn addition to the new p rofile, we added a core competency section. This brought in relevant skills tischsets and functions to catch the eye of the reader and enrich the keywords for databases. These keywords were deliberately selected to make her background applicable to most industries, rather than creating a pigeonhole by focusing on a limited set of industries from her past experience. The order of the core competencies was given attention with more complex skills coming at the top of the section and less complex bringing up the rear.Using Qual Versus QuantThe content of the old resume was very passive and uninspiring. The single achievement for each position had been written in the verbose goal/action/result (berhaupt) style which did not work well for her content since much of it was qualitative in nature. The GAR style is rather outdated but when used, it is best with metrics. We switched the achievements to bullet statements and expanded them to show how she brought value to each position.Infusing Management Skills On the most recent position, we provided additional insight on major duties and highlights. The old resume, while stretching to three pages, was actually rather thin on meaty content. We placed emphasis on her higher-level management skills versus more hands-on (and less impressive) finance and accounting duties throughout the first two positions. The wording was also punched up by eliminating the passive voice and pulling in strong verbs and vivid descriptions.Organizing an Effective Hierarchy The education and licensures section on the old resume seemed jumbled in both its organization and appearance. We reformatted and reorganized the content to emphasize her MBA first and pulled the CPA into a category of its own. Notice we also removed the dates of the degrees since all were older than ten years.Trimming the TimelineThe employment timeline received a much-needed trim. Jan had gone all the way back to 1981 with her experience descriptions. We shaved off ten yea rs to keep the information as relevant as possible and to help her avoid being tagged for her age in the kontrolle stage.Re-formatting for SuccessThe formatting and visual appearance of the old resume was plain and inconsistent. For example, headers did not stand out to guide the reader through the document, and font styles varied. We created a much smoother, professional appearance and used bold to draw attention to key items such as job titles. Further, the dense paragraph format was shifted into a combination of text and bulleted statements. The old resume was a loose three pages but through selection of material and formatting, we brought it into a tighter, more organized design that was a full two pages.The end product is a much more attractive document that does a much better job of describing what Jan accomplished across the many years of her experience in financial management.

Papers Requested for Special Journal Issue on Additive Manufacturing

Papers Requested for Special Journal Issue on Additive Manufacturing Papers Requested for Special Journal Issue on Additive Manufacturing Papers Requested for Special Journal Issue on Additive Manufacturing The ASME Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering is currently accepting manuscripts for a special issue covering additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, to be published in December. The deadline for submitting a paper for this special issue is April 15, 2014. Over the past few years, additive manufacturing/3D printing technology has had a major impact on the engineering design, driving the concept of distributed manufacturing, the decentralization of manufacturing capability from factories to offices and homes. Although AM technology is more than 30 years old, this increased public awareness has created a renaissance of both commercial and academic activity that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Because of this renewed interest and the resulting expansion in AM research and development, the editors of ASME Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering thought it wasappropriate to publish a collection of manuscripts that represent the breadth of current research in the field to stimulate further research. Y. Lawrence Yao, the editor of the ASME Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering, is seeking manuscripts representing the broad field of AM/3D printing for this special issue of the journal. The guest editors for the Additive Manufacturing (AM) and 3D Printing issue are Profs. Joe Beaman and Dave Bourell of the University of Texas at Austin, and Prof. Darrell Wallace of Youngstown State University and the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute. Specific topic areas of interest to the editors include, but are not limited to, AM machine design and performance; AM process control and sensing, including cyber-enabled AM; materials development, characterization, and performance; design for AM; validation, verification and qualification of AM parts; modeling and simulation of AM processes; micro-AM processes; infrastructure of AM and supply-chain impact of AM; sustainability issues in AM; 3D representation of solid objects and slicing algorithms; and bio-additive manufacturing. Papers should be submitted in electronically by April 15 directly to the journal at http://journaltool.asme.org. When submitting your manuscript, remember to select Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering from the scroll-down menu and then select the special issue Additive Manufacturing (AM) and 3D Printing.

Study Eating during certain windows may reduce risk for cancer

Study Eating during certain windows may reduce risk for cancer Study Eating during certain windows may reduce risk for cancer The Endocrine Society’s Annual meeting yielded some fascinating finds this past Saturday. Two independent studies in particular present strong data regarding the hormonal impact our eating schedule has on overall wellness.Adnin Zaman and her colleagues showcased promising research exploring how eating later in the day effects BMI and weight gain. An analyst of 31 overweight and obese adults provided further insight into the way our body’s ability to convert calories into energy diminishes as the day grows old, seeing us pack on fat more readily.Unfortunately, over-eating past dinner time might additionally come with graver consequences than an expanding waistline.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!According to the lead researcher behind a new study, Dr. Manasi Das, an adherence to a time-restricted diet can dramatically reduce your risk for breast cancer.Three studies, one astonishing conclusionIn the first study, mice were put on a  60% fat diet regiment in order to make them obese. After 10 weeks passed, they were split into two groups.One group was given access to food 24 hours a day while the other group was only permitted to eat in an eight-hour window period at nighttime (rodents are nocturnal thus the most active at night). Three weeks into their assigned diets, the mice were injected with breast cancer cells.The second study organized the genetically modified mice into two groups â€" one group was given 24-hour access to food and the other was assigned time-restricted access to food.In the final study, mice that adhered to a low-fat diet were given either a saline control, or an insulin pump, and then examined against mice on a high-fat diet put on drugs meant to reduce insulin levels.An ultrasound scan of all the rodents involved in the three studies revealed that the time-restricted diet drastically slowed the rate of tumor growth in mice on a high-fat diet and lean mice alike. Dr. Das explains: “The results suggest the anti-tumor effect of time-restricted eating is at least partially due to lowering levels of insulin, suggesting this intervention may be effective in breast cancer prevention and therapy.”Lower insulin levels concurrently impede the speed of growth of cancer cells, in addition to slowing down the development of tumors.It’s also important to note that the mice put on medication that decreased insulin levels (diazoxide), experienced a slower growth rate than mice fitted with an insulin pump.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

Music critics feel ousted by the AI algorithmic culture of streaming

Music critics feel ousted by the AI 'algorithmic culture' of streaming Music critics feel ousted by the AI 'algorithmic culture' of streaming Traditionally, people relied on either friends or “experts” â€" music journalists or critics â€" for opinions and advice on which new music to buy. In recent years, that’s diminished rapidly, with the artificial intelligence of streaming programs designed to choose new music for you based on what you’ve already listened to, or build playlists around your tastes. That leaves music writers and critics fighting for relevancy, recognition â€" and jobs, reports Columbia Journalism Review.For music lovers, finding new music to listen to today is less labor-intensive than ever, writes Cherie Hu. While it once meant logging hours at dusty record stores,   looking for listings in alternative newspapers, going to concerts,”  now, “discovery can be as easy and passive as scrolling mindlessly through a personalized feed or shuffling an algorithmically curated playlist … without help from a critic or other human guide.”It’s the recommendation aspect of algorithms that has been b ad for music critics, who used to be “consumer guides,” are now relegated to the wayside as the artificial intelligence of the stream does all the work.To be fair, people have been lamenting the death of criticism since the internet was born, but streaming has constituted quite a shift for those who write about music. Many who find themselves out of work end up shifting careers, working in curation at streaming services.Liz Pelly, a contributing editor of The Baffler, recently tweeted that the transient nature of music and micro-trends popularized by “algorithmic culture” makes criticism â€" and even being allowed to write â€" difficult. Music outlets have been shying away from “investing energy into reviews, interviews, editorial, writing in general … and into ‘sessions,’ ‘experiences,’ [and] playlists,’ she Tweeted.Of course, there are other ways to look at it; some music publications have chosen to work with streaming services and see it as a new opportunity to spread influence. Many music publications, including Resident Advisor, and electronica magazine, are now curators on Spotify.

Y7 Studio Founder Sarah Larson Levey made yoga different with her class

Y7 Studio Founder Sarah Larson Levey made yoga different with her class Y7 Studio Founder Sarah Larson Levey made yoga different with her class There is no question that yoga can be super beneficial to your career. It can help you focus better, improve the way you interact with your coworkers, improve your work-life balance (and actual balance) and just make you a more enlightened person overall.But you know what? No matter how fun my yoga leggings are, sometimes it is just so boring after a long day at work to go sit in a silent or quiet room and try to put your foot behind your neck (and watch yourself fail at it in a giant mirror.) But Y7 Studio co-founder Sarah Larson Levey wanted to change the stereotypical image of yoga.After moving to New York at 22 to work in fashion she had been frustrated by the yoga classes available and feeling like they weren’t fun or challenging enough. Starting with a small pop-up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn she and husband  Mason Levey turned the idea of what a yoga class should be on its head. “I love music and movement. Yoga was something I was always drawn to but was turned off by the ex clusivity of the classes I was attending.  Y7  is  a combination of all the things I wanted to experience in a class,” Larson Levey told Ladders.There are no mirrors or bright lights or weird airy, flowy music in a Y7 class. It is just you, your sweat (from  the infrared heat blast) and some truly bumpin’ beats (any workout class that includes Snoop Dog’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot” is good in my book.)  Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Drake, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, and Beyonce are regularly in the music rotation. You’ll never be able to go back to regular yoga class again once you do crow position to  Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey’s “I Know What You Want.”Clearly, people appreciated this new kind of yoga as after launching in only 2015 with the pop-up the brand will have 11+ studios by the end of 2018 (five studios opened this year alone) including two locations in LA and they are looking for a new President/COO. We spoke with the young founder about growing her brand and why yoga should be integrated into everyone’s daily routine.On launching her own company, which she self-fundedTotally! I continued working at my corporate job for the first two years of  Y7  - I always want to make sure I am able to take  care of my people first and foremost.On building the brandWe would love to  continue to grow in New York and LA as well as enter into new markets such as Chicago, San Francisco, Philly, and DC.On incorporating yoga into her work stream, especially on stressful daysOh gosh. My days are all so different. Lately, things have been really crazy and when I feel overwhelmed I always try to bring my focus back to my breath.Why everyone needs yoga in their lifeEveryone should! It not only  strengthens your physical body but the practice truly builds a connection with the mind as well - giving healthy habits to take on and off the mat.

Spice Up Your Professional Summary with a Headline

Spice Up Your Professional Summary with a Headline Spice Up Your Professional Summary with a Headline Spice Up Your Professional Summary with a Headline You may have heard this before but it's worth repeating: Your resume has only 10 to 15 seconds to grab a hiring manager's attention. If you assume that's true (we do), then you need to make every one of those seconds count. The best way to grab a hiring manager's attention is with a headline that effectively shouts your value, such as Award-Winning Sales Professional or Graphic Designer with Long List of Satisfied Clients. By replacing the category title Professional Summary or Summary of Qualifications (usually found right after your name and contact information at the top of your resume), the headline leads the reader into the highlights of your qualifications and helps you pass the 10-second test. This approach is especially helpful for experienced professionals who have established work credentials. I admit that I'm a bit biased to the headline approach because of the years I spent as a professional journalist. But there's something about large, bold type that sends the message: You're gonna want to know more, so read on! That approach has worked for decades at newsstands, especially tabloids that aim for the front-page shock value a large headline can offer. (One of my favorites is The New York Post's descriptionof a murder in 1983: Headless Body in Topless Bar) So, what's your headline? Here are three steps you can take to find it: 1.Figure out your strengths. What are the things you do well better than others who work in similar roles? What skills do you have that the employer wants most in the job? How have you gone above and beyond in your current and previous roles? Your answers may look something like this: I'm a sales professional with several years of experience in the consumer products industry. I know how to communicate with people, I know the importance of good customer relations, and always check in with my customers in the retail industry to make sure they were satisfied with what we delivered and that their customers were at least equally satisfied. I won several awards for consistently exceeding quarterly sales quotas and for leading all sales associates in winning repeat business. At my last job, they gave me new products to sell and my strategic approach with those new products was so effective that management asked me to conduct a seminar for new product sales for the entire sales division. The seminar was well received and earned me a commendation from the CEO. 2.Now, write your full professional summary. Once you answer those questions, convey that information in 75 words or less. Here's one based on the above example: Award-winning sales professional with several years of experience in the consumer products industry and strong track record of exceeding quarterly sales quotas. Highly effective at creating and maintaining good customer relations and generating repeat business. Proven ability to communicate sales tactics and strategies to other professionals through strong presentation skills. 3.Finally, write your headline. Take the editor's approach. What's the central theme of your story and what jumps out at the reader? Here are some examples and how each might be appropriate: Award-Winning Sales Professional This is one that can attract just about anyone looking for a sales professional. Experienced Consumer Products Sales Professional If the job is in the same industry, this is more specific and more effective than #1. Sales Pro Dedicated to Longstanding Customers This approach could be effective if the job ad stresses the importance of keeping customers. Sales Pro Keeps Customers Coming Back This is similar to #3, but the way it's worded can be attractive to a company that has ambitious growth plans and wants to build a strong base of customers. The most important thing to remember about using a headline is to address the employer's pain. If your headline hints that you understand that pain and will give them what they need to alleviate it (and your summary backs it up with more detail), you'll stand out. Put it right in front of their faces so they don't have to go searching for it.

Getting Referred is the way to Your Dream Job

Getting Referred is the way to Your Dream Job Getting Referred is the way to Your Dream Job This is a scary thought for the unconnected job seeker. I am not scaremongering though; just look at these statistics which show just how powerful a catalyst  an employee referral is to the job search. Lets start with some stats from the almighty U.S. Department of Labor, which reveal that a massive 48 percent of jobs never actually make it to job boards and are advertised through the secret job market, known as word-of-mouth/employee referrals. Does this sound hard to be believe? Well another study by Jobvite suggests that employee referrals account for 44 percent of hires and a further study by CareerXRoads puts this figure at 28 percent â€" and in both situations, referrals are the no. 1 route to a job, being more influential than the almighty job boards. So, as you can see, the most effective method  for job seekers to identify and find job opportunities may not be through jobs boards, but by getting a referral from a friend. But, getting a referral does not only increase your chance of locating an opportunity, it also increases your chance of getting invited to interview and getting hired having landed an interview. Yes, research shows that employers favor candidates who have come recommended by a present employee (the more exalted the employee, the better). In particular, a  Federal Reserve Bank of New York Study showed that candidates who had been referred were twice as likely to land an interview and had a 40 percent greater chance of being selected for the job than non-referred candidates. For me, its case closed. While you should in no way ignore job boards, it seems that the best way to actually get a job is to get referred by a friend; and, therefore, job seekers should be rebalancing their job search activity and focusing much these on finding referrals to point them to jobs that may not be advertised or to vouch for their application and boost their hire-ability. I hear you; thats easier said than done. Well, there are ways that people on the outside can find and exploit employee referrals and fast track into their employer of choice. I have outlined three tips on how to do this below: Focus on employers where you have inside contacts and ask them if they know of any openings and/or if they will vouch for your application. Prior to making a job application, check LinkedIn and Facebook to see if you have any contacts at the firm, and ask if you can include their name as a referral on your application. Network at industry events where you know that representatives from your favorite employers will be and pitch yourself to them and angle to see if there are any opportunities they can refer or recommend you too. Good luck with finding your next opportunity

What is Actually Going on with Tableau Resume

What is Actually Going on with Tableau Resume A tableau developer can perform many tasks that aren't restricted to using tableau for a support tool. When you download and install Tableau, you will realize this window. Tableau has a user base of over 32,000. Have a look at my interactive Tableau resume. Moreover, Tableau enables you to combine various types of charts and build up meaningful dashboards which are truly interactive and facilitate extra analysis. Tableau has the ability to swiftly deliver sophisticated visual analyses, or so the tool is an ideal match for SQL. While Excel isn't as powerful or intuitive as Tableau when it has to do with data visualization, Tableau isn't optimal when you want to use it like a data creation tool. If it's possible to learn Excel then you may learn Tableau. The Truth About Tableau Resume Write your cover letter to make certain it fits the work description. You know you would like to add the work experience you've accumulated throughout the last year or so, but nevertheless, it can be difficult to know what things to do away with on your old resume or CV in order to generate room for new material. The best method to nail a work interview is to employ a mentor who has done it. You may have gotten a promotion or two at your very first j ob and are now seeking to test your possibility in the work market with some actual experience under your belt.
