Resume Etiquette Dos Donts for a Modern Resume Template - Margaret Buj - Interview Coach

Resume Etiquette â€" Do’s Don’ts for a Modern Resume Template The infographic is courtesy of Resume Templates A resume is nothing short of an entry ticket to the all important interview that takes you one step closer to the high profile job you want. HR managers receive resumes by tens and hundreds for a single job opportunity on offer, and only the most professionally made and credible resumes get shortlisted. A good Resume Template is not a flashily done page of packed content, but is a document that showcases relevant experience, specific accomplishments and achievements, and provides information most pertinent for the job being sought. Getting your modern resume perfectly right Among the essentials of good resume building are basics such as choosing a professional and classy font that’s easy on the eyes and easy to read. Then, ensure that you provide your full name and all contact points at the starting of the resume. Invest efforts in getting the formatting of the resume perfect. Unless you are applying for a design or related job, try limiting the content to text, but organize it well. HR managers like to find phrases such as ‘leadership qualities’, ‘eager to learn’, ‘self-driven’, and ‘team builder’ in resumes, so ensure that you include them. Avoiding pitfalls with resume building Never give an impression that can hurt your chances of grabbing the job opportunity. Avoid jargon, and bring in coherence to your resume. Proofread multiple times to weed out typos and grammar mistakes. Again, stick to the task, and ensure that you create a well structured and totally relevant professional resume.

The Best Ways to Stay Focused at Work, According to Highly Successful Business People

The Best Ways to Stay Focused at Work, According to Highly Successful Business People In today’s microwave societyâ€"where more data is created in one year than the last 5,000 yearsâ€"it’s a herculean task to stay focused. Getting distracted may seem innocuous, but the consequences are disastrous over time: lost productivity, falling revenues, and a gnawing ever-present sense of missed opportunities. These overachievers and members of The Oracles share their strategies to sharpen your focus, prolong your concentration, and beat distractions once and for all. Lewis Howes Courtesy of The Oracles 1. Think about urgency and regret. You never know when your last day will be, so live from a place of urgency to usher your ideas and dreams into reality. Don’t wait for it to be your last day and regret that you didn’t create something meaningful. Get clear on precisely what you want, then move past any doubts or fears through massive, urgent action. Doing this is a mental game for me: I keep score on how well I’ve done each day. â€"Lewis Howes, former pro athlete, lifestyle entrepreneur andNYT-bestselling author; subscribe to Lewis’s global top-100 podcast phenomenon,The School of Greatness on iTunes! Mark Divine Courtesy of The Oracles 2. Bunker down in a secret location. As a business leader, the demands on my time in the office are immense. No matter my determination to do deep, focused work, I ultimately get interrupted or find myself eagerly solving the problem. Organizations tend to defer decisions to the leader who’s in the vicinity and “on the clock.” So, my number one tactic for radical focus is spending one to two days a week out of the office, in a “secret location.” There, I get important thinking, writing, and other creative work done with zero distractions. To maximize productivity, I mentally prepare for deep work with a focusing ritual that includes deep breathing and visualizing my desired end state. I chunk my work into 45-minute blocks and do some movement and yoga between those deep work sets. Concentration and focus must be trained. By designating special time and space to do focused work, you’ll train your brain to do it better. â€"Mark Divine, retired U.S. Navy SEAL commander, NYT/WSJ bestselling author, founder of SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind; follow SEALFIT on YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram Chris Harder Courtesy of The Oracles 3. Ask if it’s a ‘heck-yes’ opportunity. Here’s the trap: The more successful you become, the more shiny opportunities offer themselves to you. These opportunities may be great, but not great for you right now. A great opportunity at the wrong time is just a distraction. Always ask yourself, “Is this a heck-yes opportunityâ€"right now?” Otherwise, default it automatically to “no.” This question keeps you out of the “grey area” where good opportunities become stressful commitments. If you don’t have the willpower to say “no” to shiny distractions, form an “advisory board” consisting of two to three friends who know you well, understand your goals, and have a good business mind. Run every opportunity through them for input. This tactic also makes saying “no” easierâ€"you just blame the decision on your “advisory board.” â€"Chris Harder, philanthropist, coach, founder, and CEO of For the Love of Money; follow Chris on Instagram Kenny Rueter Courtesy of The Oracles 4. Resist ‘doing it all.’ Remove everything from your life that’s unnecessary or simply a diversion. You’ll be left with a bunch of worthwhile things to accomplish. Now, here’s where most entrepreneurs mess up: They attack everything at once. Soon, they’re overwhelmed from juggling too many things and feel guilty for not giving adequate focus to anything. The simple cure? Have a top-priority item. (I use the Todoist app and keep a running list of my highest priority targets.) Pick only one thing, the most important thing to accomplishâ€"even if it’s difficult or daunting. Stay focused until you check it off. Then move to the next. â€"Kenny Rueter, co-founder of Kajabi Nafisé Nina Hodjat Courtesy of The Oracles 5. Find something to obsess about. When you find something you love, focus comes naturally. When I started as a civil litigation lawyer, I excelled but hated it. Meanwhile, when friends of friends got into trouble with the law, they insisted I represent themâ€"even though I had no criminal defense experience. I did a great job on each case because I was obsessed with the outcome and cared about my client’s life. However, my partner at the time didn’t want me to pursue criminal defense, so I begrudgingly stayed in the civil field. Fortunately, I had another obsession: writing. I wrote kids’ yoga books and about my experiences with cars and racing. I simply wrote because I was obsessed with it, which compensated for my professional discontent. Finally, when I started criminal defense full time in 2014, it became difficult to not focus on my cases. Colleagues and mentors said I cared too much about my clients and their cases. Then I came across the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, which advocates this approach. My career has been a beautiful obsession since. â€"Nafisé Nina Hodjat, founder and managing attorney of The SLS Firm Nik Halik Courtesy of The Oracles 6. Create a five-step customized strategy. Every entrepreneur’s methods for staying laser-focused is unique. I’ve incorporated these strategies for optimal performance. First, make stress your friend. Stress is not your enemy; it’s a valuable tool if you harness its force. Your mental faculties are heightened when you’re pushed against a tough problem or deadline. Second, develop a morning routine. Make it a habit to get up an hour earlier. Start your day with breathing exercises and meditation. Don’t allow the digital world to control the first hour of your day. Third, break your work into 90-minute blocks. Forget the standard 9-to-5 mentality. Learn your body’s natural ultradian rhythms, and then schedule your most important and productive work in time blocks. Take 25-minute breaks at the end of each block. Four, create recharging rituals for your body, emotions, and mind. A body ritual might be a brisk walk. An emotional ritual might be gratitude. A mental ritual might be turning off your phone. Lastly, optimize your sleep. Sleep isn’t a necessary evil or distraction from work; it’s a vital, natural way to recharge. The standard “eight hours per night” is more of a guideline; I sleep six hours per day with a siesta power nap. This biphasic sleep pattern (six hours plus 25 minutes) is my ideal sweet spot. â€"Nik Halik, angel investor, entrepreneur, astronaut, extreme adventurer, CEO of 5 Day Weekend; follow Nik on social media Tom Shieh Courtesy of The Oracles 7. Don’t chase two rabbits. “The man who chases two rabbits catches neither.” â€" Chinese Proverb Whatever you’re working on, be fully there. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself at home thinking about work, and at work thinking about home. You’ll work on the company’s vision, then feel like you’re neglecting the daily operations. You’ll be entrenched in the operations, then feel like you’re missing out on the newest “flavor of the month” to scale your business. It’s not that you can’t multitask or that these tasks are mutually exclusive. You can excel in many thingsâ€"just not simultaneously. The best way I focus is scheduling my areas of focus directly on my calendar. I schedule the time to work out, be with family, think, read, answer emails, and just be free. This may seem rigid. Ironically, this kind of structure actually creates greater freedom. â€" Tom Shieh, CEO of Crimcheck; connect with Tom on Facebook Peter Hernandez Courtesy of The Oracles 8. Create a fierce focus culture. “You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” â€" Mark Twain In a world that follows the pack, if you want to build something special, fierce focus is not just what you doâ€"it’s how your entire organization must think. This is the only way to avoid the trap of caving into the norm and losing the essence of your core difference. Fierce focus is only achieved across an organization when each person understands their purpose in the organization and then sets clearly defined, measurable goals to achieve that purpose. Every new idea or opportunity must be forced through that intense “focus filter.” If the project doesn’t contribute to your purpose, you simply shouldn’t do it. â€"Peter Hernandez, president of The Western Region at Douglas Elliman; founder and president of Teles Properties Want to share your insights like those above in a future column?

Best Places To Retire Based On Your Dream Vacay

Best Places To Retire Based On Your Dream Vacay For over a quarter of a century, International Living has ranked, rated and named the best countries to retire in. They track down expats, pull a wealth of data from each destination and curate a reliable list of retirement havens. Each year, theyve brought new categories into play and have likewise added new countries like Malaysia in 2000 and Colombia in 2007.If youre looking for a retirement community to join, youll want to take a look at this list. This year boasts the fruchtwein comprehensive index yet the top 24 retirement havens, all of which have been ranked by their cost of living, retiree benefits, climate, health care, infrastructure and more. But 24 is still a lot of options how do you narrow it down? Here are five of the best distribution policys to retire that you should consider, all based on what type of tourist you are.1. The FoodieMexico ranked first in this years list, highlighting its popularity amongst retirees. I t scored a 90.9 overall, rating highly in terms of how well an expat can fit in. Its an enticing balance of foreign and familiar it offers a low-cost lifestyle thats still conveniently close to home. While there is a large expat community, there are friendly locals and over one million Americans who call Mexico home. And who can say know to fresh guacamole everywhere you go? From beach towns like Cancn and Tulum to the colonial town of San Miguel de Allende, theres something (and some dish) for everyone making it an excellent place to live.2. The SightseerIf youre looking for a global retirement lifestyle, Spain offers some of the lowest-cost first-world living in Europe. It ranks seventh on the list, recognized largely for its entertainment and amenities a category in which it scored a 90. The country covers most of the Iberian Peninsula, from the Pyrenees Mountains down to the Strait of Gibraltar, and looks across the sea to Morocco.Spain has miles of beaches with well-known st retches like the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca on its southern and eastern Mediterranean coasts, respectively. But expats also have a lot of rich history and cultural vitality in which to dive. The largest cities, like the capital Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, boast major museums, cathedrals, concert halls and sporting arenas from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu one of Europes largest football stadiums. If youre looking for a great place to retire where you wont sacrifice quality of living, a city (or small town) in Spain may be for you.3. The Beach-GoerThough many retirees flock to southern neighbors Panama or Costa Rica, you should consider Belize as a premiere retirement destination. Belizes vibrant mainland is filled with lush jungle canopy, enriched with palm-tangled Mayan ruins and energized with diverse wildlife all of which places it 15th on the list. But its mostly known for its walkability, snorkeling and diving sites along hundreds of caves, atolls and a 185-mile b arrier reef.Go spend your days in the small town of San Pedro or for some intense scuba diving in a longtime world wonder The Great Blue Hole. It should also be elended that Belize has one of the worlds best retiree programs, regardless of whether or not youre a beach person. Through the Qualified Retired Persons (QRP) Program, the government actually gives qualified retirees (must be at least 45 years old) an exemption from taxes on all income derived from sources outside Belize, whether such income is earned or passive, and whether or not it is remitted to Belize. To keep QRP status after retiring, youve gotta spend just one month of the year in Belize. The countrys many expats will tell you just how easy that is.4. The Shopping EnthusiastThough it isnt the cheapest place to retire, France came in 16th on this years International Living list, mostly recognized for its amenities and entertainment. And, perhaps because of its amenities, the French exude a je ne sais quoi when it com es to fashion the French capital has reigned supreme for all things style. Shopping alone attracts millions to the city every year. The Louvre and Tuileries District is a major shopping mecca and the crme de la crme of designer fashion Versace, Herms and Yves Saint Laurent all call it home. Likewise, the skandalpresse Haussmann and the Grands Boulevards offer a gamut of department stores, which are famous for being worlds unto themselves.While Paris is indeed the most expensive French city in which to live, its certainly a shopping sanctuary for those who want to splurge. Despite that, you can also consider a surrounding city or small town in France if you want the same quality of life and a cheaper median home price.5. The People-WatcherUrguay scores well as a retirement destination every year, and this year it made 23rd on the list with an overall rating of 76.6. Its cost of living is most notable, but Uruguays capital is whats exceptionally appealing about this countrys quality of life. The capital city, Montevideo, is home to more than a third of the countrys population its a place of serenity by day and cultural vitality by night. Just about 12 miles east to west on the eastern bank of the Ro de la Plata, the coastal capital boasts a dynamic faade its both a sandy industrial port and neoclassical concrete jungle jostling for space. In the heart of the city is the Plaza Independencia, which separates downtown from Ciudad Vieja (the old city), with art deco buildings, colonial homes and the towering, Italian-gothic Palacio Salvo. For those looking to chill out on a patio with a mate and people watch a traditional tea Uruguay is the spot.It may be too soon to start looking for real estate, but if anything this list will help you reconsider the golf course and help you get to the ideal place (and expat community) youve been dreaming of.--AnnaMarie Houlis is a multimedia journalist and an adventure aficionado with a keen cultural curiosity and an affinity for solo travel.
