Using Google Docs For Resume Writing

Using Google Docs For Resume WritingMicrosoft Word resumes are the industry standard when it comes to professional resume writing. Although they are one of the most popular resume formats, Google Docs is a tool that was designed specifically for managing and organizing your work experience and personal records in a way that is easy to use and to find at a later date.Of course, Microsoft Word is one of the most popular document formats in the world, but Google Docs is the ultimate solution for document management. With the right application, you can easily organize and synchronize your documents from one place to another, without having to learn or relearn how to use Microsoft Word. It is also a multi-platform file format that can be viewed on both Mac and PC computers.One of the biggest advantages to using Google Docs over Microsoft Word is that you can edit your documents with a word processor program, such as Microsoft Word, on any computer you want. In addition, you do not have to worry about opening multiple documents just to update them, since Google Docs will automatically import any documents that you save into it. This makes it much easier than Microsoft Word to do all of your document management tasks, as you are free to add or delete documents at anytime, without worrying about losing a file that is important to you.Google Docs also makes it easy to create an outline of the content of each document that you save in it. You can create an outline and then use this outline to move through the document and see what you want to highlight in each section. By doing this, you will be able to easily see the content of each document, and will be able to add or remove sections of content to move the document to different sections of your resume. You will also be able to add a cover page and make sure that you follow the formatting of the company's requirements when creating resumes.With this type of organizing process, you will also be able to quickly go back an d check the structure of your previous documents. You can then delete sections of content that you no longer need and you can go back and check for errors that you might have overlooked while updating your document. It is also possible to use a workflow to do all of this for you, which means that you can edit documents and your work history is automatically synced with the Google Docs account that you are using, so that you can continue working on them wherever you are.Another benefit of using Google Docs is that you can have any number of documents open at the same time. One document may be a content piece for your resume, while another document can be an outline for your new job or a reminder of your past work history. You can also create presentations that have multiple topics, and you can sync your presentation with the Google Docs account, so that you can save the content for the presentation and then share it with other people in the presentation, creating easy backup and sync hronization.In addition, you can download many free templates for Microsoft Word that are available online. However, these templates are not optimized for Google Docs, which means that the formatting is not exact and the image options are not the same as the tools that are available in Google Docs. With a Microsoft Word template, however, you can still get most of the same formatting and image options, but you cannot use a drag and drop feature or resize the image at all.In summary, Google Docs is one of the best tools available for all types of document management, and it has become the industry standard when it comes to resume writing. Not only does it make document management easier, but it allows you to create a presentation and share it with others in the same presentation, saving them the time of searching for specific files to save their time as well.

7 Things Fairy Tales Taught Us About Recruitment Success

7 Things Fairy Tales Taught Us About Recruitment Success Albert Einstein once said that If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales. This advice also feeds constructively into the recruitment industry, with fairy tales holding a surprising number of lessons to hep recruiters win their happy endings. Not only do fairy tales teach us how to find hidden rewards in difficult situations, they also offer instruction on how to use what we’re given to survive in an unpredictable world full of pitfalls. In a changeable industry with many difficulties and obstacles to overcome, these fairy tale lessons frequently overlap into recruitment. Here’s a list of 7 valuable lessons from fairy tales that recruiters can take on board in the workplace. 1) The Little Mermaid: Be adventurous: Venturing outside your comfort zone is often a daunting experience, but one that can offer rich rewards. Ariel’s journey out of the sea and onto the shore is a prime example of stepping out into unexplored territory and winning fantastic results in the process. The Little Mermaid teaches us that boldly embracing change can have a transformative long-term effect. In an industry currently undergoing a rapid social evolution, this is a lesson of great value to recruiters.  2)  The Princess and the Frog: Be patient if you want to find the perfect candidate: Kissing multiple frogs to finally find a prince is a highly fitting analogy for the recruitment industry. When wading through a pile of ill-fitting CVs, every recruiter has despairingly felt like they’ll never make a placement. If The Princess and the Frog teaches us anything, it’s that patience and perseverance pay off when trying to find the right person. They might be rare in a skills-short market, but those perfect candidates are out there if you’re prepared to leave no stone unturned.  3)  Hansel and Gretel: You can overcome adversity if you keep your wits about you: In today’s candidate-driven recruitment climate, it can sometimes feel like you’ve been thrust into the metaphorical woods, with little hope of making it back out successfully. Taking a leaf out of Hansel and Gretel’s book could benefit recruiters feeling lost. In what seems like a hopeless situation, the pair refuse to give up, keep their eyes open for opportunity and act quickly when a prospect becomes available. As a result, they’re able to fight their way out of a tight spot. 4) Pinocchio: Always, always be honest: Absolute transparency is key to successful recruitment. As Pinocchio illustrates, lies are destructive for you and those around you and should be avoided at all costs. When he stops telling untruths, Pinocchio experiences rebirth through metamorphosis and finally achieves his dreams. Similarly, as every recruiter should know, glossing over less attractive aspects of a job role to win a quick placement will only ever result in dissatisfaction, a poor experience for both client and candidate and the loss of your fee to boot.  5)  Mulan: Don’t judge a candidate by their cover: There are a small group of recruiters out there who seem to believe that hiring for ‘culture fit’ means selecting candidates who are young, stylish and attractive. Anybody familiar with Mulan’s tale knows that making such appearance-based judgements is unwise and often injurious. Mulan teaches us that being the right person for the role has nothing whatsoever to do with appearance; attitude and ambition are far more important factors when it comes to being a strong cultural fit.  6)  Rapunzel: Get creative when it comes to problem-solving: Using the materials that she already has available to her, Rapunzel comes with up a unique but highly effective solution to her problem. Rather than assuming that there is nothing that can be done, Rapunzel thinks outside the box and wins results by doing so. Rapunzel’s lesson of using existing tools in new and innovative ways is a particularly beneficial lesson to recruiters. In a time of industry change, the recruitment wheel doesn’t need to be reinvented: it just needs to be reinvigorated with creative ideas.  7)  Jack and the Beanstalk: Don’t be afraid to climb sky-high: By trusting his gut instincts, Jack makes something out of nothing and reaches dizzying, unexplored heights. He fearlessly climbs up into the sky and doesn’t stop until he reaches the castle and slays the giant within. For recruiters, the lesson of Jack’s journey is clear to reach your end goal, you have to keep going and continuously push upwards. To make those deals, win those top fees and ultimately climb the career ladder, you’ll need grit, determination and drive just like Jack. Though it can seem far from a fairy tale at times, recruitment is in fact filled with surprise rewards, exciting growth journeys and unexpected happy endings. It might be taxing KPIs we’re fighting against rather than wicked witches, but the lessons from fairy tales still ring true in our daily office struggles. The next time you’re having a tough day as a recruiter, think like a fairy tale hero and watch the rewards roll in. Author: Roxanne Abercrombie is a professional copywriter and serial blogger.

Five Simple Steps for a Stronger Body In Just 15 Minutes

Five Simple Steps for a Stronger Body In Just 15 Minutes We have turned from hunter gatherers who were always on the move, into a species who struggle to get up from the couch to get drink from the fridge. We’ve gone from nomadic to sedentary. Obviously, that isn’t exactly healthy for us. We were simply not built to live this way. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Even for those of us who have to sit down and work for a living, there are plenty of options for getting in our exercise â€" and we don’t even need to get an expensive gym membership to do it! Let’s look at some simple steps that you can start taking today which will make your body stronger, healthier and sexier besides! Get yourself out of breath every day You know that 10,000 step thing that you keep hearing about? It turns out, that isn’t actually a scientifically supported thing. It just sounded good to the guy who created the movement. And yeah, it does have a certain ring to it. But we shouldn’t just do exercises because they sound good. Instead, it’s far more helpful if we do ones that actually help us! So, rather than going for the 10k steps â€" which is a lot of work â€" the goal is to find some way to get yourself to be out of breath for 15 minutes a day. This has been shown to have a lot of health benefits and as an extra bonus, it’s easy to do! We can all find 15 minutes to something that’s physically tiring. You can: Climb several sets of steps Have sex Do squats Go all out for a few minutes on one of those bicycles Shadow box Jump rope Or anything else, really. As long as it gets your heart pumping and your breath flowing, you’re doing it right. Bicycle to work You don’t have to do it every day. Especially to begin with, that’s going to be very tiring. But you can certainly do it some of the days. Maybe on the Friday, for example. You don’t even have to go all the way, either. Find out what part of your route is easy to do with public transport and then bike the rest. As long as you know when and where you can switch from one mode of transport to the other, you can make your bike ride as long or as short as you want to. Do note, not all public transport systems will just let you take your bike onto them, so make sure that you check that it’s actually possible. Otherwise, you might find that you have to leave your bike behind somewhere â€" and not having your bike is not conducive to getting your work on. Try that standing work thing Those standing tables you’ve heard about actually work really well. They’ve been shown to boost productivity significantly. Even better, the effect gets more pronounced over time. So even if you weren’t trying to get healthy, they would be a great tool to use. But as you’re trying to get healthy as well, they might in fact be perfect for you. And yeah, they might initially be a bit intimidating if you’re always used to sitting, but then there are some different varieties which allow to you to stand sometimes and sit at other times. In that way, you can get used to using them standing and do so more and more as your legs get stronger. Diet is more important for weight loss You can build muscle and be healthier if you exercise regularly, but unfortunately the only real way to lose weight is to change your diet. The good news is that often small changes can already have big effects. So, aim at steering your diet into a healthier direction, by avoiding trans-fats and processed foods and replacing them with healthier alternatives, for example. Another great way forward is to make yourself healthier snacks when you have the time, so you can immediately grab for them when you don’t. After all, one of the big reason we eat those unhealthy snacks is often because they’re far easier than having to make something right there and then and we’ve got a busy schedule. Having healthy snack alternatives nicely sidesteps that problem. Another good way to avoid snacking and bad foods is to make sure that the food that you’re eating gives you slow release energy. This is the type of stuff that leaves you feeling full for a couple of hours instead of only filling you up for an hour or so. The advantage of this kind of food is obviously that it will make it much easier to resist snacking later on. This will both mean you eat more healthily and will even reduce the money you spend on meals because though you might pay more per meal, you’ll end up having less of them per day. What is best is what you’ll keep doing The big problem that a lot of people who are trying to get stronger have is that they start out full of enthusiasm, only for their enthusiasm to wane after a few months and their exercises to fall by the wayside. Obviously, that’s not going to be terribly effective. The solution is to not try to be the hare but the tortoise. You don’t start of like a nutter, spending five hours in the gym on the first day and then spending the next four days moaning on the couch. A much better idea is to go to the gym everyday and train a little less when you’re there. The best advice is to push yourself beyond what you find comfortable, but to only push yourself a little bit beyond that. As long as you keep that up, what you find comfortable expands even as what you’re capable of expands. Even better, this is the kind of behavior that you can keep up over the long run and thereby can become a part of your lifestyle. That’s going to be far more meaningful than those unused exercise machines taking up space in your garage.

Expert Tips to Hire and Retain the Best Employees CareerMetis.com

Expert Tips to Hire and Retain the Best Employees Employees are the lifeblood of an organization. It is immensely important that an employer gets the best employees and retains them if their company should remain functioning well.Without the right hiring process and retention policies, your company will constantly lose the best employees to competitors that are doing it better than you. It will take more than just a computer skills assessment test to find out if you have the right candidate. Here are a few strategies to hire and retain the best.Make Your Company an Attractive BrandevalevalIt is not just the candidate who is being scrutinized, candidates also scrutinize the company â€" high-value candidates will compare you to your competition. Just like products on a shelf, it is the one that outshines its competition that will get picked.You can seem more attractive by doing these things:Clearly define your company values and cultureIndicate the benefits of working for an organization like yoursHave attractive packages that most pe ople look for like health care, transport allowance, vacation time and so onHave a competitive salary structureFocus on the Ideal Person, Not Job QualificationWhile it may be important to highlight the qualificationsfor the job, you also need to describe the soft skills of the ideal candidate. Help the individual evaluate themselves as they read through the job description. This should bring out the culture of the company in relation to the successful candidate. For example, use descriptions like Sociable, team player, fluent communicator, creative, open-minded and so on.It may be a good idea to use a more relaxed tone that effectively communicates what it is like working in the company in the particular position advertised. Do not be afraid to use pictures or videos of the work environment to highlight the atmosphere in the organization.Exhaust Different Channels to get the Word ouYour vacancy needs to be publicizedso that the right people can see it and gain interest. Tips 1 and 2 would be in vain if no one gets to know that there is an open position. But it is also important that you choose the right channels.Some seem more effective than others with more successful hiring rates, for example, employee referrals seem to work best as people hired this way will know more about the company and tend to remain longer.Here are the channels in order of successful hire rate.Employee referralsJob search enginesJob notice boardsInterview current employeesHire a recruiterSetup a Structured Filtering ProcessevalOnce you have a number of applications in, it is time to start filtering them to remain with only the best. This should be a well-structured process that will identify the best candidate at the end. The first step would be to choose a handful of candidates who you will call in for the face to face interview.Phone or video chat interviews are recommended as the most time efficient method. In a 3 to 5 minute interview, you could identify potential candidates. When you have the handful, call them in and do the face to face interview. Meanwhile, inform those who did not make it through.evalHave a Well Planned Orientation ProcessThe orientation process can play a big role in determining how long a new hire will spend. Ensure it is well planned to cover all that they need to know about the company and to make them feel comfortable.A copy of the employee guide book would be necessary, the employee contract, non-disclosure agreement, non compete agreement and other needed documents should all be provided during orientation.Plan Ahead When Hiring and FiringevalIt is advisable to always be on the lookout for good candidates even when there is no current need for a new hire. Keep a database of possible candidates so that you are not under pressure to fill a vacant position.Also, when terminating employment, go through processes that will ensure it does not come as a surprise and tarnish your company’s image. Having a reputation for ‘firing at will ’ does not attract good employees.When You Find the Best, Do What it Takes to Keep ThemRehiring will take a lot of time and money so when you find a good fit, have strategies that will motivate them to remain. So you need to train, motivate, and value them.You need to know where to find the right people, how to attract them, and how to choose the best by considering tests like computer skills assessment testand then keep them working for your firm. Some important points to keep in mind while choosing best candidateHighlight the Company Culture Think of it like buying curtains, before you can look for the curtains, you need to know the measurement of the window they will be covering. The Company culture is like measurement.The hiring manager needs to clearly define the culture which the right hire needs to fit into. Things like the company environment, values, norms and mission make up part of the culture and the candidate needs to fit into it.Exhaust Every Detail In finding the pe rfect fit for the company, you need to find out as much as you can about the individual and how they will get on with working with the organization. Special attentionneeds to be taken to ensure that they will actually be at home with the culture of the organization.Along with the skills and experience test, it is a good idea to have another test that sees how they would get along with the other colleagues. Some companies would choose to take the candidate out for lunch so that they can be more relaxed and there will be less issues. In an informal setting, even the red flags can be noted.Establish the Situation at Their Former Employment Sometimes an employee may be leaving one company following a disagreement it is vital that the hiring manager investigates deeper into such circumstances.evalMany organizations may just stop at receiving a recommendation from a previous employer, but other aspects of their former employment should also be looked into. Investigating deeper may reveal character traits you may need to be aware of.Embrace Variety While you want to find a fit for your organizational culture, that is no reason to ignore the benefits of having diversity. Sometimes candidates who may not exactly be the same as the people already working at the organization, can complement what already exists by bringing in what is lacking.A different way of looking at things may come up with creative problem-solving ideas that can be an asset to the company.Test Personality This may be a partly controversial assessment tool but it has proven effective in highlighting certain personality traits such as leadership quality, assertiveness, ego, energy, drive and other key personality traits that can be matched not just to the role a person will be performing, but also their suitability in terms of culture and other personalities that are already employed at the organization.In an organization where teamwork is essential, a personality test can reveal if the candidate being considered is a team player or a leader.evalAsk Leading Questions The questions you ask should be able to get the candidate to open up. For example instead of describing what it is like to work at the organization, ask them to describe their ideal organization culture and what they expect it to be like working at the organization.By identifying what the candidate is looking for in their new employment, you can figure out if they are going to be the right fit for your organization.Research It is vital that you do research on the candidate. It is a lot easier these days with Social Media, which can give you insight into a number of aspects about the individual which they may not readily reveal in an interview. Friends, former workmates and maybe even schoolmates can give you information to decide if they would be a good fit within your company.Explore the Obvious While you dig into the past and present, it is also important to look at some of the obvious aspects of a candidate. Most companies in one way or the other have to serve customers, it would be a good idea to consider if the candidate can deliver a level of customer care, regardless of the position they may be applying for.In the end, cultural fit will play a big role in determining a successful hire. Even though other aspects like Excel testing online may be necessary, if a candidate does not fit into the culture, they will not be a good hire and may not last long.

Introvert or Extrovert Tips for Job Search No Matter Which Vert You Are

Introvert or Extrovert Tips for Job Search No Matter Which Vert You Are The Resume **I am a member of the Career Collective, a group of resume writers and career coaches.   Each month, all members discuss a certain topic.   This month, we are talking about networking and job search whether   you are introverted or extroverted. Please follow our tweets on Twitter #careercollective.   You can also view the other member’s interesting posts at the end of the article. The old adage ‘the grass is always greener on the other side,’ fits many situations. Today, it is especially relevant to job seekers. In the world of the job hunt, two personality types often emerge, each with strengths and weaknesses. Extroverts and introverts alike often find themselves wishing they were exactly opposite of themselves. The truth is that understanding how to craft a resume and how to interview, utilizing the strengths or weaknesses of either an introvert or an extrovert, can mean success in the form of a new job. I think I border both, because in new situations I tend to either get quiet or talk more than I would like to. Both can be bad, or good, depending on how you look at it. Which are you? By determining which you are, introverted or extroverted, and by understanding the strengths and weakness of your personality type, you can begin a successful job search with your resume. If you are most comfortable alone, or in smaller settings and find it difficult to express yourself verbally, you are most likely an introvert. Those that are social enjoy crowds and talking is typically considered extroverted behavior. You might mistakenly assume that extroverts always interview well while introverts present above par resumes. The truth is actually somewhere in the middle. The Resume Both personality types are urged to remember the purpose of a resume. It should be a clear, precise representation of a candidates experience and related skill sets. While introverts, very good at introspection, may have an easier time paring down their resume, they often make the mistake of providing too little information. Extroverts tend to be more inclusive in their resume attempts, but often provide too much information. When writing or updating a resume, both personality types should focus on the format of the resume, including relevant details and facts about themselves and removing any unneeded information. The Interview Extroverts, who love to talk, often quickly settle into an interview. Introverts, often find themselves ill at ease and uncomfortable. Unlike the extrovert, the introvert is unlikely to engage the interviewer himself or herself. While it sounds like the extrovert wins the interview round, both personality types need to make adjustment to their interview style in order to be successful. Extroverts need to remember to keep their answers short and to the point, while introverts must allow themselves to be drawn out during the interview process. In general, the both introverts and extroverts should follow the same guidelines when preparing a resume or interviewing. Resumes should be in the correct format and provide information relevant to the job position. When it comes time to interview, candidates of both types should have had a good nights sleep and should be prepared. It is a good idea to bring a list of questions for the interviewer. Practicing short, informative answers to typically asked questions can be helpful as well. Always remember that both personality types have strengths and weaknesses and learning to play on these is the best way to be successful in your job hunt. Introverts should take advantage of their inquisitive and analytical nature while extroverts should use their ability to fit into any social situation. By carefully balancing these strengths against their weaknesses, either personality type can be successful.
