How a Groupon and Pirelli Resumes Can Help You With Your Resume Writing

How a Groupon and Pirelli Resumes Can Help You With Your Resume WritingIf you're in need of the best professional resume writing services, look no further than the best and most prestigious and well-known company on the internet - the best website on the internet - the groupon. Groupon, a recently introduced marketing and advertising website that offer special deals and coupons to its members, has also opened up their doors to the world, offering professional resume writing services to people who require it.What makes this partnership even more impressive is that the best deal on the market is actually two deals - two different companies offering a really nice deal for the service of professional resume writing services. The business process outsourcing company, called Pirelli Resumes, offers its clients' resumes to the person offering the 'professional resume writing services' as a single package. The company also provides a small amount of additional services - to help the customer craft their resume in a particular way, and write their letter of interest better.In the year 2020, the only group that was offered in the field of professional resume writing services was a membership fee. This helped the writer to get access to the vast resources that are currently available, but they still had to pay the price for the ability to have these resources. Now, with the opening of groups to the general public, the same thing applies to the services offered: the writers are given the chance to use the resources, but they don't have to pay a single cent.The two companies, Pirelli Resumes and Groupon, are offering exactly the same services, so the final price on the website should be the same - or if not, the pricing structures will remain the same. The two main benefits are that the writer is provided with a toolkit of information, which is often better than what they can get at a regular resume writing service; and the writer can help their employer, their future emplo yer, achieve success.The professionals who will be providing the professional resume writing services are able to explore the tools and resources that are being offered by the big four resume writing companies. By doing this, they help the writer's job to get easier. But of course, at the same time, they are also helping their employers achieve success.By joining the groupon and Pirelli Resumes, the writer is no longer limited to a single service provider; they can now do both jobs - and double their earnings. Both companies have provided the writers with a well-organized toolkit for the writing of resumes. This toolkit will include five different writing styles and will have all the information that the writer needs to make sure that their resume is successful.The advantage of the groupon and Pirelli Resumes partnership is that the writing services are now being offered to an unlimited number of people, all at the same low price. That makes for a very favorable deal - the cost of t he contract for each resume writing service is already factored into the overall cost of the product, which makes the total amount paid to the writer and/or the employer to be lower than usual.The best part of this business partnership is that all the advantages of one resume writing service being accessible to another are still in effect. Both companies are making the writing services available to those who would benefit from them, and they are doing it at a very low price for the service, which is why they are able to reach a wider customer base, and so reach more jobs, and make more money.

3 Tips for Sending Your Resume to Another State

3 Tips for Sending Your Resume to Another State 50 years ago, your resume was pretty hard to send. If you we vying for a job that was out of your city or state, your resume required a stamp and any follow-up was an expensive long-distance phone call. Today, your resume can be sent in a dozen different directions with the click of the mouse. Social media and email don’t know the difference between three miles and three thousand, so your opportunities as a job seeker are essentially limitless. While this is great for job seekers across the planet, there are certain things that push them apart from their local competition.  Check out three tips to keep in mind when sending your resume to another state (or country!): Address it early Put yourself in an employer’s shoes. If you need someone immediately and found a great candidate, wouldn’t you be irritated if they wait to drop the bomb that they’re a six-hour flight away? In your cover letter and resume, address the fact that you’re a long-distance applicant. Since you already (or should) mention your career goals, bring up your location goals as well. Start the relocation discussion now with how quickly you’d be willing to interview or relocate for this position. Connect it As a long-distance applicant, you might feel like you’re at a distinct disadvantage. Employers can think this too, if you let it happen. In your cover letter and resume, connect your experience in a different town to the benefits this company can reap. After all, you are bringing in a new perspective and potentially new clients with you! Think about the cost Moving is expensive, not to mention stressful. Before you jet your resume off to the other side of the country, seriously consider what it will cost. If you have a family, this is even harder because you’ll need to uproot your spouse and/or children. Additionally, do your research on the cost of living in this new area. The job might be paying more, but if rent is double what you’re used to, it might not be enough. What do you think? Are you planning to work in a new city or state? Have you in the past?

Write to the Hot Spots

Write to the Hot Spots A recent study by The Ladders.com  tracked recruiters’ eyes as the scanned resumes over a period of ten weeks.   The study was able to track their eye movements over resumes and produce heat maps of where their eyes spent the most time. The resulting maps looked like this (the darker spots indicate where their eyes rested longest.) The entire read time averaged six seconds. Six seconds for your 15-year career.  That makes it even more imperative that you figure out how to get the recruiter to spend the six seconds on your most important writing. The resume on the right was edited to place the most important information where the recruiter would read it.    As you can see, large blocks of text were not even scanned. Mostly, the recruiters spent time on the left side of the page and viewed bold type headlines. The good news is, we’ve been advocating for this approach to resume writing for a while. Write strong and bold headlines that draw the recruiter’s eyes through the document to your most important skills and experience. Keep your paragraphs short, and use bullet points for easy reading. Write to the hot spots. See the entire Fast Company story here.

The State of Employer Brand Management

The State of Employer Brand Management The phrase ‘The Employer Brand’ gets over 400,000 Google searches per year and is known to management teams globally. What’s special for me is that I had the chance to sit-down with the creator of the idea â€" Simon Barrow. Have a listen to the conversation below or continue reading for a full summary of this important session, and don’t forget to subscribe to the Employer Branding Podcast. What issues did the idea have to surmount in the early years? Well, I’ve got here ‘The Employer Brand“, by Tim Amber and Simon Barrow from the London Business School, July 1996. I picked out some key findings, which I think may be of interest. Number one, the introduction of marketing terms was a terrible problem for HR and internal communications, A, for the meaning, and B, for what they meant deep down. Somebody said, ‘Don’t bring that marketing flim-flam here.’ There was no recognized language available in management speak for covering the combination of culture, brand and reputation. Indeed, when we introduced corporate culture and employer brand as a concept, people were, ‘Well, it’s the same, isn’t it? What’s new? It’s just corporate culture.’ Well, clearly, they didn’t know much about brand management. Is employer brand a nice-to-have? It would be lovely if everybody said, ‘This is a basic way in which we run a business,’ but we’re not always as perfect as that. So often, people are pitched into doing this stuff right, when something bad happens. You know, we’re losing people. We cannot recruit X and Y. Why did we fail to get so, and so, and so? Some sort of failure, in my experience as a consultant, is what often drives the first call. It’s not the best way, but it’s more often the usual way, compared to saying, ‘How do we run this business in an outstanding way?’ One client once said, “Simon, how do we make this ship move faster through the water?” Well, that’s a very big, broad question. I think the employer brand might be a way. That’s why we want to talk. Did you expect the employer brand to take off the way it has? I always had a belief in it because it was logically so strong, but it was a slow start for the reasons we unearthed with the LBS study I was quoting just now. It is good to see the growth in the number of employer brand managers within organizations. It’s good to see the continuing conferences around the world, the books and articles and the number of Google searches on this subject is a good indication.   What makes employer brand management so important today? Well in 1985, tangible assets, that’s plant, machinery, buildings, and cash, formed 56% of corporate assets. Today, that is just 20% of value. So 80% of value is in intangibles, what used to be called ‘good will’ in brands, in your ability to attract, engage, retain, and motivate great people. That’s critical. That’s what’s driving the importance of EB thinking. It used to be the case in client services businesses, that the key success factor was the ability to win clients. Doing the work was not the difficult bit. Winning it was difficult. I fundamentally disagree with that. In my view, if you run a service business today, it’s the ability to win and engage great people. Start with them. What companies do you rate as outstanding employer brand managers today? With one exception, none of these have appeared yet in the employment brand management awards: Goldman Sachs: An outstanding employer brand. It’s tough. It’s truly diverse. It’s unforgiving. It offers potentially life-changing earnings. And it has fantastic alumni. Will you find any of that in whatever they say online? Maybe not, not in the way I’ve just said it. Hiscox: The insurance business, they have transformed a dull industry. The senior management involvement in the employer brand, the as-good-as-our-word, which applies absolutely internally as well as externally, their creativity and their teamwork. COOK: A frozen food brand. 850 people making outstanding frozen food in Sittingbourne, Kent. Employer brand leadership ticks all the boxes, including one special mention, which is that the Managing Director was the Human Resource Director. Unilever. A great world group with its heart in the right place. Note the reaction inside and out to the Kraft approach earlier this year. Note its commitment to sustainability. Decency maybe an odd word in a commercial context but they have it. I respect them. McKinsey: It’s tough to get into, but it’s a personal brand for life. It’s a true academy company. Just look at their alumni. John Lewis: The U.K. retailer with 80,000 or so partners, measures itself on their happiness. One of the founding beliefs, the happiness of our people. And the boss who gets a bonus, exactly the same percentage of his or her salary, as everybody else. It’s distinctive. It’s compelling.

9 student jobs which are perfect for first years - Debut

9 student jobs which are perfect for first years - Debut We’re truly living in the post-Fresher’s Week era. You’re hungover, you’ve got 9am lectures and nothing but dust and spiders in your wallet. Suddenly, you’ve got to actually figure out how to survive in the university jungle. Your loan might be all be going on your rent but that’s no reason why you can’t have disposable income. Here are some Debut-approved job picks Student union reception Image via Giphy If you don’t feel like  venturing  too far away from home plate, there are tons of desk jobs on campus that offer flexibility around your timetable and valuable real-world experience. Being front-of-house at your student union is especially great if you enjoy chatting to people, being welcoming and friendly, and want to develop an inside knowledge of your SU. Plus, seeing what comes in as lost property after an SU night out is truly hilarious. Bar staff Image via Giphy Whether in your SU bar or out in the town, working behind a bar is a tried-and-true student job and it’s perfect if you’re a night owl. Shifts rarely clash with lectures and it’s a given that you’ll meet more than a few interesting characters. Library assistant Image via Giphy If you’re a bit more bookworm than social butterfly, it might be worth seeing if your campus library needs any help. You’ll be stacking some far more interesting shelves than your local Sainsbury’s can offer and that sweet, sweet increased knowledge of library functions could serve you well come exam time. Student brand ambassador Image via Giphy You’d be amazed how many companies want to increase their appeal (SPOILER: all of them). Red Bull, PayPal, even your own university, are all looking for youthful energy to get the word out. If you feel particularly strongly about a brand, you might want to see if they offer anything on this front. Uni ambassadors will generally help out on visit days and open days only. Brand ambassadors do a bit more work, but most are likely to pay you more and give you some neat perks (Spotify might throw you a party at your house!) Events/hospitality Image via Giphy If you’re willing to go a little further afield than your uni campus, then this is another great job you can bring your personality too. Jobs in events and hospitality vary from staff needed for one-off events to part-time restaurant and hotel staff, from waiting on guests to more behind-the-scenes roles. Some of them may even feed you for the effort! Tutoring Image via Giphy There’s no better job for a student if you love your course and you get good grades. There are a whole bunch of companies, like Explore Learning Kumon, that take on students in the know. Alternatively, you can go independent. It might be hard to get your name out there to begin with perfect when parents will pay whatever it takes to get their kids into a good secondary school or university. Retail Image via Giphy Can’t really go wrong here most shops in university towns love having student help. Even better, the variety of retail out there means you can find something that’s relevant to your interests or future career ambitions. Alternatively, get a job somewhere you go a lot, like a supermarket, and reap the benefits of that crucial student discount. Mystery shopping Image via Giphy Probably the closest thing on this list to actual spy work, mystery shopping is as simple as signing up online to an agency, getting assigned to go to shops and restaurants and reporting back with useful feedback. Do that, and be handsomely rewarded with money and free things. Catalogue distributor Image via Giphy Be your own renegade postman and pick up some extra cash by delivering catalogues to customers on behalf of companies. It’s lots of walking, but it’ll keep you fit and give you superhero-like knowledge of your local area. Lots of these jobs appear around Christmas time so it’s a great way of funding those presents. Don’t get your dad Sellotape again this year. Charity fundraiser Image via Giphy Door to door charity fundraising is perfect if wanna earn money, work flexible hours, and help out some great causes. You get uncapped performance-based bonuses and you also develop those all-important interpersonal and communication skills which could be key to getting a job in future. Nightclub promoter Image via Giphy You’ve probably run into these guys by now, beckoning you to a good time on your way into uni (or on your way out of uni, or when you’re bumbling down the strip as drunk as a lord, basically always). Generally speaking, you get money for every person you get to come to the club, whether you give out leaflets or invite people on Facebook. It’s a great job for an extrovert, so if you think you’re as persuasive and loud as these guys can be, it’s definitely worth considering this. Download the Debut app and you could totally grab yourself a summer internship  way before anyone else. Follow Alex on Twitter @AndThenAlexSaid Connect with Debut on Facebook and Twitter

And that will teach them what, exactly - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

And that will teach them what, exactly - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog When I first read that an employee of an alarm company has sued the company for emotional distress experienced during a company training event I just thought here we go again, yet another American suing over nothing. Remember that case a few years ago where a man sued his colleague for farting at work? But check out what they did at this training: Employees were paddled with rival companies yard signs as part of a contest that pitted sales teams against each other, according to court documents. The winners poked fun at the losers, throwing pies at them, feeding them baby food, making them wear diapers and swatting their buttocks. Who on earth still believes that this will create an effective learning environment? When I design workshops and training sessions, I always try to make it safe and fun. Everything we know about learning says that people learn better when they feel safe and enjoy themselves. In this kind of setting, participants are: More open to new ideas More motivated to learn More prone to collaborate Friendlier and more relaxed And heres the most important thing: In every event I do, all exercises are voluntary. Even though Ive tried to make everything fun, simple and straight-forward, there may still be elements of the training that are not right for some participants. And whos the best judge of that? The participants themselves, of course! Therefore everything is voluntary and if any participants would prefer to sit out an exercise, then that is always OK. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Ill reveal more about whats-happening-to-When-I-Grow-Up-for-2012 post-Bad News next week-ish (when I have more boob cancer results, and connected to my next I Quit My Day Job update), but  what I know for sure: Im cutting my client sessions from 30-ish/month to 10-ish/month. Since I work with clients for 3 sessions/month, thats essentially a drop from 10 clients/month to 4 clients month. Thisll happen  as of Jan 17th, which is  when I can start with new clients, as Ill be taking a break from Dec 21 thought Jan 16th. Im raising my rates by 20%-ish (as early as next week or as late as early January).  You can reserve your spot on my roster at my current rates by signing up for the  personalized coaching offering you like best. Im planning on speaking at the  Spark retreat in Santa Fe this May (yay!), but  I wont be doing The Declaration of You Workshop (its cancelled) or speaking at SXSW (I relinquished my spot). Ill be doing a round of my  Operations! (aka my coaching groups, where you get personal coaching time and homework each week  alongside up to 3 other like-minded creatives with similar goals/ challenges/ dreams/ wishes while keeping $792 in your pocket) starting the week of January 16th. I have plans to run it again in May-ish, but honestly, time will tell what Im up for and how Im going to work things from here on out.  If you want in on the Winter 2012  Operations!, then make sure you  fill out an application by today, Dec 16th. It doesnt commit you to joining it just allows me to act like The Harry Potter Sorter Hat and determine which group would fit ya best.
