Actual for You - How to Get a Bigger Bang from Monster
Recently a new client came to me in total frustration. She had been working with another coach who had insisted she focus on offering, and aggressively marketing, only one service. Now she was out of energy, out of money, and couldn't understand why she was failing. A great salesperson in her previous work, she was struggling to sell enough of this one service to support herself.This talented and skilled professional was on a slippery slope to a failed business. She was using one o
5. Work Experience: 3,000 character limit. Here is where you make sure to include every relevant skill-set that you possess. Keep to the bare facts. Almost every word you put here should be a searchable term. You want them to find you and here is your catch-all chance to do it. Also, many employers are looking for people who have or are working for certain companies or organizations. Make sure that you list any major corporation that you have not only worked for but also have done business with
It is amazing how many advertising account executives there are and it is amazing that we even allow them to call themselves advertising account executives because it almost sounds like they are seasoned executives who specialize in advertising and know something that we do not. That is to say most advertising account executives are nothing more than salespeople who have the gift to gab and no real skills in advertising or experience to back up the expert advice that they purport.
So, let's get started.
Once you register on Monster®, choose: "Build Your Resume Online".
They allow you to set up 5 different resumes or profiles. Let's just set one up for now. There are only 5 major areas that we will be concerned with here:
1. Target Job Title
2. Objective
3. Resume Title
4. Job Title
5. Work Experience
Tip: every one of these fields has keyword capability, so you must use each of these areas to the fullest extent by including as many keywords as are relevant, for example:
1. Target Job Title: 2,880 character limit. That's almost 4/5's of a page, if you were to fill it up! List as many different job titles as you can imagine for this role. List other closely allied titles that the searcher may be searching on. For instance, "Java Programmer" might also be titled as "Software Engineer", "Application Developer", or "Software Developer" within even the same corporation, not to mention other companies. How many different but similar titles can you come up with? Put them all here.
2. Objective: This is your stated job goal and has a 2,000 character limit. Just as we talked about in yesterday's lesson, transfer that keyword-rich objective from your revised resume to here. You should have a decent short paragraph that showcases and combines your current skills and your future goals. Remember, you want to stay away from standard cliches such as "Challenging opportunity as a (title) where I can effectively use my (managing and sales, etc.) skills in my ongoing effort to help grow an organization, blah, blah…" This is not only boring, it's also highly ineffective. Instead try something like: "Solid Java Developer with strong (skill#1), (skill#2), and (skill#3) to make major programming contributions to remote server projects while growing to project lead role. The difference is each of the above underlined terms is now searchable. Use each section in your resume to answer one question only. By putting several keyword phrases under each section, you tighten up your focus and make your profile work for you by getting search engine hits when employers run database searches.
3. Resume Title: Not much to work with here as only 70 characters are allowed. Make it a key term that is most relevant and searchable.
4. Job Title: This (these) is (are) your current and past job titles and has a 5,831 character limit. That's 1&1/2 pages!! Put as many relevant titles as you can think of here that you have held in your past work progression. There is a huge amount of space here, so you may want to include specific job skill-sets that each of those titles required. Don't be bashful.
5. Work Experience: 3,000 character limit. Here is where you make sure to include every relevant skill-set that you possess. Keep to the bare facts.

If you have ever simply watched people at work you will find that many often come in late or miss work entirely for days on end. We may be able to draw a connection in our reasoning that says all these people showing up 10 minutes late can add up to lots of lost revenue for the company. The problem is how to control attendance issues and still treat everyone fairly?A CCH study on unexcused absenteeism indicates that 83% of employers feel that unexcused absenteeism will continue to
