HOT TOPIC


If you are seeking a career in a NEW field or profession, it’s important that you realize the transferable skills you may possess. The following are five of those skills:

• Coping with deadline pressures - Prove to your prospective employer that you can function effectively and meet deadlines even when the timeframe is notably hurried.
• Negotiating - Discuss where you have been able to resolve differences between individuals or groups.
• Speaking - You will be perceived as a leader if you can talk publicly, prepare remarks, and effectively present ideas. If this is not a comfort zone for you think about joining Toastmasters.
• Writing - Writing effectively is a skill most employers desire. Write letters to the editor of every publication you read. Write a newsletter and have samples you could share during an interview.
• Organizing/Coordinating - If you have organized an event or managed projects it is assumed you know how to delegate tasks and achieve goals. Begin with organizing your own life, files, records and important documents. Prosperity is never attracted to disorganization and neither are job opportunities.

MUST READS

Before you send out one more resume, there is an article located in the "Resumes and Cover Letters" folder of the Library found at http://www.thrpartnerscareercenter.com/ that could help you schedule more interviews. The title of the article is "Phrases that are Poison to Your Resume and Job Objective". Your resume is either a ticket to an interview or it screens you out. If your resume is not resulting in interviews, this is a must read!
