Lesson 7 - How to write an effective and original objective statement

A career objective, often listed as objective only on your resume, is a statement of your career goals. It sounds simple – you want to get a good job, utilize your experience and education, and get paid well. However, this is the most difficult part of the resume to compose, as you are limited to one to two sentences in which you are expected to convey your professional expertise, expectations from a job and an organization, as well as goals for your professional growth. Doesn’t sound so easy now, does it?

The most common mistake people make is not listing an objective. Most people operate under the assumption that the objective is not necessary to include in a resume because it states the obvious – your objective is to get the job you are applying for. However, this is a big misconception. Employers are looking for an objective; they want to know what it is that you are looking for in order to determine whether or not you are a good match for their company.

The second most common mistake is including a career objective that doesn’t actually express your goals and your qualification. For example, a statement like the one below is commonly used is resumes:

“To obtain a position where my experience and education can be utilized and expanded.”

If you examine this statement, you will find it doesn’t say anything specific about what you are looking for in terms of professional growth. Avoid using generic statements like this. They will hurt you more than help you in your job search, because your employer will be left with an impression that you don’t have a set a goal in mind.

Now that you know what not to do, here are some helpful tips on creating a winning career objective that will get your resume noticed and get your foot in the door. First, make your career objective personal. Think of your whole resume as a sales tool; your career objective is your opening statement. You want your employer to know what you want, not just restate what other people want. Second, you want to state your commitment to your career goal. If you are unsure of what you want, how is your employer to believe that you really want the job at their organization and you are not just applying because you want to get out of your current work environment? Don’t be afraid to state what you want from a job and from an organization. Third, while you want to state your commitment, you also want to show that you are willing to take action to achieve your goal. Indicate what direction or action you are willing to take in order to accomplish your career objective. Fourth and most important factor in a successful career objective is being specific about what you are looking for in a work situation. While you can say that you are looking for a “challenging” environment, this doesn’t mean anything to your employer, as people define challenges in various ways. Avoid using generic and broad terms. Simply state what you want, and what you are willing to do to get it.

Keeping in mind these criteria, let’s revise the above career objective statement so that it effectively states what you want.

“To obtain a position of a sales representative in a health insurance industry, where I can utilize my management and customer relations skills, with the opportunity for performance-based advancement.”

This statement tells a potential employer that you know what kind of job you want, what experience you have in order to get the position, and what you are willing do to become a successful professional with the company. Thus, you have just created a winning career objective for your resume.

Fifth Lesson - Blogging From The Beginning

Well, we have come to the final lesson in the "Blogging From The Beginning" crash course.

In this final lesson I want to share six easy ways that you can make money from your blog.

Your blog has the potential to be a money-making magnet, if you know the right steps to take. Blogs once started as a sort of online diary.
They've been totally transformed to fit a whole range of needs, from a place to house an online newspaper to a simple way to start an Internet
stream of income. The following five methods will help you make money from your blog, no matter what niche you are in and how you are using
your blog.

1. Affiliate marketing

This is one of the easiest ways to make money from your blog, and the simplest to start. You begin by selecting an affiliate program from one
of the popular affiliate networks. You can either post a review on your blog about the product (complete with your affiliate link) or post ads
along the side of your posts (also with your affiliate link). Affiliate marketing is simple to implement because you don’t have to worry
about writing a product.

2. Selling your own product

If you feel there is a need to be met in your niche and want to create your own product, you can add it to your blog for another stream of
income. Advertising your own product on your blog is a smart idea. Your readers have already built a level of trust with you so they'll be
likely to be interested in your product. You can link to your product’s sales page directly from your posts and display graphic ads in the
sidebars of your blog.

3. Contextual advertising

Contextual advertising, like the type offered at Text Links, will help you make money from your blog without much intervention on your part.
When you sign up with Text Links or a similar service, your blog posts will automatically have certain words hyperlinked. These links go to
advertiser’s websites. You get paid when someone clicks on a link. Unlike with affiliate programs, you don’t get a commission on the sale
but you do get paid whether or not your visitor buys from the advertiser’s site.

4. Other types of advertising

Google Adsense and other pay per click advertising programs will give you code to add to your website. These programs will display ads in the
sidebars of your website. Anytime a visitor clicks on one of these links, you will get paid anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars depending
on your niche. These ads don’t appear within the body of your post, but they are based on the content of your posts so they will be attractive to your audience.

5. Get paid for reviews

Once you have some traffic coming to your blog, you can be paid to post reviews. There are many different networks that link advertisers
with bloggers. You simply find an advertiser through one of these networks and promise to post a review on your blog about the product
or service. You'll be paid a flat rate for your review. Be sure the product or service is relevant to your niche for best results with this monetization model.

6. Selling Advertising Space

When you start having enough traffic, you can write to company in your niche too start placing advertisement in your blog. If the CTR is cost effective, many of them will return and others will fight for the advertising space available

As you can see, you have a lot of different options when it comes to making money with your blog. Try one or all of these to see what works
best for your niche.

I sure hope you have enjoyed your lessons and learned a lot about building and profiting from your own blog. I also want to let you know
that just because we have come to the end of your lessons that doesn't mean that you can't contact me if you have any questions or need any
assistance setting up your blog. I will be glad to help.

I wish you success with your blog,

Fourth Lesson - Blogging From The Beginning

How is everyone? We're winding down to the end of this short course. But we still need to go over a few important topics so that you can get traffic and make money from your new blog.

Today we are going talk about some easy ways that you can get traffic to your blog.

The simple truth is that a blog without readers is pretty much useless. If you've been blogging for a while and have only been getting a trickle of
viewers to your posts, you need to put a traffic building plan into action.

Building traffic is just as an important skill to bloggers as writing quality posts is. Most bloggers are terrific at creating content but don’t know a
thing about building traffic. Here is a quick guide to the five most popular (and most effective) traffic building techniques.

- Get social!

Social networking and blogging go hand in hand. Your blog posts can be distributed across social networking channels in many different
ways. Sign up for Twitter and tweet about your posts as soon as they are added to you blog. Update your Facebook status with a link to you
new blog posts. Submit your stories to Digg.com, Reddit.com and StumbleUpon.com. Remember that in order for social networking to be
effective, you need to participate with other people on your list. If you visit their links and respond to their updates, they'll be likely to do the
same for you.

- Get noticed!

Find blogs in your niche and start following their posts. Make sure to add insightful and interesting comments on their posts. Not only will the
blog owner take notice and visit your blog, other commenters will visit your blog to get more of your great insight into the topic. Don’t spread
yourself too thin with blog commenting, but make it a point to comment on a few related blogs each week.

- Get good use out of your RSS feed!

RSS feeds are a way to syndicate your blog’s content so that it is sent to many different people in their own blog readers or on their own sites.
Most blogging systems have RSS feeds automatically included but you can add a lot more functionality to your feed by using a free service like
FeedBurner.com. With FeedBurner you can add things like sharing the feed via e-mail to your feed so it will pull in new readers and encourage
previous visitors to come back to the blog again.

- Get articles in directories!

You may think that by being a blogger you can ignore article marketing. However, you can get a lot of traffic to your blog by tweaking some of
your popular blog posts and adding them to article directories. You can post your popular posts as articles with a link back to your blog in many
different article directories. Not only will you get a valuable backlink but your article may also be used by ezine owners which will bring you
more traffic.

- Get backlinking!

Speaking of backlinks, you should work to build backlinks to your blog through several different means. By creating backlinks to your blog,
you’ll improve your blog’s ranking in search engine results. You can get lots of traffic from search engines if you are within the first group of
search results for your keywords.

These simple ways of building traffic can be used over and over again to help build traffic to your blog and increase your readership.

That's it for today's lesson. In your next lesson. Don't forget to look for your next and final lesson. We will be talking about how you can actually
start making money from your blog.

Until then,

Lesson 8 - Top 5 common resume mistakes and how to avoid them

If you have ever tried to write a resume, for yourself or for someone you know, you are already familiar with the fact that this is not an easy task to take on. So much information goes into a resume; from your career objective to the list of your qualifications, your resume should be personal, convey confidence and set your best foot forward in order to impress a potential employer. However, creating a winning resume is not easy. The following are the most commonly made mistakes in resume composition:

• Including references to personal web sites. You may wonder why referencing a personal web site may be a mistake. What if you have a sample of your graphic design work on your site that you want your potential employer to see? It sounds like a great idea, if the site you are referencing only has work-related information available. Many people make a mistake of including their personal web sites that may contain information potential employers may find irrelevant (and now you are wasting their time) or inappropriate.
As a rule, do not include your personal web site if it contains your photo or other photos that may be viewed as inappropriate, if it contains jokes (even if they are clean jokes), or your blog. In other words, if the site you have is entirely for personal purposes, you are best leaving it off your resume.
Include a link to your web site if the pages are set up to showcase your professional portfolio, a copy of your resume, reference letters, presentations, photos taken for professional use, or your web development skills.

• Using very small fonts in order to get everything to fit on one page.
One of the most common challenges is creating a resume that formats well on a single page. As a rule, a resume should not exceed two pages. However, in recent years, it has become commonplace for professionals to change jobs frequently, and listing all the experiences, in addition to your career objective, education, qualifications and references, can certainly take up a lot of space.

Do not use a small font in order to fit everything into your resume. There is not a single area in your resume that should have a font size of less than 10 points. Keep in mind the font type you are using – stick to the basics, Arial and Times New Roman are your best bet. Instead of changing the font size, review and revise your resume to make your statements more concise.

• Incorrect company/school listings.
The biggest mistake people make, without realizing that they are making it, is not referring to the past employers and/or the school(s) they’ve attended by their full names. Do not use variations of company and school names. Don’t use abbreviations unless they are in fact part of the name. If you have attended New York University, list the complete name, not just NYU (even though it’s commonly known and your employer will likely recognize it). You don’t want to appear sloppy or as if you don’t pay attention to details.

• Lengthy paragraphs describing your experiences.
To list the responsibilities you’ve had in your past professional experience, you are best off using bullet points that begin with action verbs, such as managed, developed, etc. You do not need to use full sentences, and you certainly do not need to use the paragraph format. This makes the information in your resume overwhelming and difficult to review quickly. Make your statements brief and clear; don’t add words to fill in space.

• Typos.
The most important factor in achieving a winning resume is proof reading. You want to put your best foot forward. If your resume contains grammar and spelling problems, your potential employer will get an impression that you are not detail-oriented. It is hard to proof a document you have been working on so closely – use spell check (but be ware, it will not catch everything), ask your friends for help, meet with a career counselor. Do your best to present the most polished resume to your potential employers.

See you later...

Yes I know it requires professional skill. This tutorial do not cover that detail. Such as downloading the blog and uploading it to wordpress vice versa. Or using other methods.

omoelu1: you can move from Blogger to Wordpress.
Great work from you. thank you

Jregz: do i contact the owner of the blog i want to ads to the list for backlinks or i just add them cos i have been trying to talk with the bloggers on my twitter but none answered me
and For the review, just any product or my affiliates cos i got konga
GOD BLESS

Well if you don't have high traffic already, it will be difficult to get a backlink bargain. For review, if you have high traffic, you will be paid for review. Better still in the mean time, try and register with CPA website or use your affiliate products but it must be related to your niche

I hope the information help to answer your question.

Lesson 18. Qualifications – what do employers look for?

When applying for jobs, it is important that you read through the job description thoroughly before submitting your application. A lot of what employers are actually looking for in their potential associate is written right in the job description and requirements. In fact, you should review your resume against the requirements listed in order to make sure you have covered everything the employer is looking for. If you can address all the requirements by the information in your resume or in your cover letter, you will be on the right track for getting the job.

However, there is a whole list of skills employers look for that are never spelled out in the job description. These skills are typically referred to as employability skills, which are skills beyond your technical knowledge and qualifications that make you a great professional in your field. Don’t panic, you already have employability skills, you just may not think of them as critical for getting a job.

The employability skills have been grouped in eight categories:
• Communication skills
• Teamwork skills
• Problem-solving skills
• Initiative and enterprise skills
• Planning and organizing skills
• Self-management
• Learning skills
• Technology skills

Now that you have read the categories, you are thinking to yourself, yes, I have those skills. But did you ever think to list them on the resume? Most people focus on their professional achievements and responsibilities, and they often skip these skills in favor of those that are job specific. However, more and more employers look for these skills in resumes. Your potential employer wants to know that you are a team player, that you communicate well, and will show initiative when needed. While you may think this is implied by your interest in the available position, employers like to see these skills called out on your resume or cover letter.

The best way to demonstrate these skills is through your experience and under your qualifications. Point out the initiatives you have participated in that required you to work in a team, under a deadline, or as a self-starter. Demonstrate your loyalty through pointing out your accomplishments at an organization and how they benefited your team as a whole (not just you). You can showcase the employability skills in your cover letter by openly showing your enthusiasm for the available position, stating your commitment to your career objective, indicating your motivation and your integrity, and showing that you are above all un-selfish and credible. These skills are just as critical to your ability to do a great job as your professional experience and education – employers are looking for someone who will be a great fit on their team and in their organization, someone who works well under pressure but also has a sense of humor and has a balance between their personal and professional life.

Review your existing resume. Does it contain any employability skills? If not, make revisions to incorporate those employability skills you feel you excel in. If you are unsure, ask your friends or family for an objective opinion, so that you can get a better idea of how people around you see you as a person as well as a professional. Keep these attributes in mind as you compose your resume and your cover letter, and especially as you are taking part in interviews. These skills can make a difference between knowing how to do a job and being qualified to exceed goals and grow in your career.

Third Lesson - Blogging From The Beginning

Today we are going to talk about the different “Kinds” of blog posts that you can use on your blog.

Blog posts come in many different forms and lengths. If you want to keep your blog fresh and interesting, you should post often. Creating
different types of blog posts will keep your audience interested. It will also keep you from being bored with your blog.

Whether you are blogging to make money directly from the blog or blogging to drive traffic to an affiliate program, you should know about
these five kinds of blog posts.

1. Review blog posts.

Review blog posts can help you monetize your blog. When you review a product and include an affiliate link, you'll make a commission off of
each sale generated with your affiliate link. Review blog posts should go over some of the major pluses and minuses of the product. Even if
you loved the product, you should keep your review balanced by mentioning a few things that could have been improved. Your audience
will appreciate your honesty and be more likely to trust your recommendation.

2. Quick tips

Quick tips are great “in between” posts since they are so short. They are normally between 100 and 250 words. If there’s a great bit of
information that you want to share with your niche but it doesn't really warrant a full blog post, you can post a quick tip. The tip should be
focused on one key area of the niche. For example, “How to Grease a Muffin Pan” is a perfect quick tip article for a cooking blog.

3. Lists

Blog readers love lists! If you'll look at the most popular blogs you'll see that they make good use out of this type of blog posts. You can make
lists fit any niche topic imaginable. They are great ways to convey information online because they can easily be scanned by web readers
who like to skim over information. You can create resource lists that will help your readers find information on your niche. You can also create
lists of different ways to accomplish a goal in a niche, like “5 Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Sales Letter.” The possibilities are endless.

4. Interviews

Although these require a bit of preparation, they can be very valuable to your blog. You can interview someone in your niche and share the
results of the interview with your blog readers. This will not only help provide valuable content for your blog, but you can also get more traffic
to your blog. Likely, the person who you are interviewing will publicize the event on their blog and around the ‘net which will bring more traffic
back to you.

5. How to posts

Like quick tips, 'how to' posts help you provide valuable information to your readers. However, unlike quick tips, these posts go into detail on a
certain topic. Somehow to posts are even separated out into two or three part courses. For ideas on what to create how to posts about,
look at the most frequently asked questions in your niche and develop posts around those topics.

That's it for today's lesson. In your next lesson we will be talking about some easy ways that you can get traffic to your blog.

topygel: Thank you sir.

Welcome I will later talk a little more on this

Much depend on the niche you are targeting. If you want to use article from other site, you will need written permission or verbal permission from the owner and quote them as the source. An example is AllAfrican.com You see that they get their articles from journal around Africa but usually quote the news source.

If you can not get the permission, you might need to edit the article to your writing style. Some of the newspaper get their information from press release on website, so you may need to check press releases in your niche. Well that is all I can say for now. If you have other ideas, please share. Thanks

Tmany: Wow just what I need.
About the write up if we talking about News for instance been a blogger you can't be in all part of the world to get current news but you can surly register and frequent lot of other site to get info.
Now this my question in a case I see some news on other site. which Is better, copy the news and add the source or edit the new and paste on my blog

I have skipped some lesson I will go back to.

Lesson 20: Chronological vs. functional resumes

A resume is a one- to two-page document summarizing your career objectives, professional experiences and achievements, and educational background.

While there are numerous ways to format your resume, there are two main resume styles: chronological and functional.

As its name implies, a chronological resume is one that lists your experience and education in order, starting with the most recent jobs or achievements. This type of resume is sometimes also referred to as reverse chronological resume, because the order of the listing starts with your current employment. This type of resume preferred – employers will want to know what job you currently hold so that they can better asses your qualifications for the job of your interest. The same is true for your education; your potential employer would rather know your most recent scholastic achievement. Listing your experience and education in reverse chronological order also shows your potential employer your overall career progress. It also helps in determining the length of employment at each organization, and indicates any gaps in your career (in case of gaps, make sure to address them in your cover letter as to not lead your employer to believe that you are omitting information on purpose). Chronological resume should list your current job, as well as two to four previously held positions. Don’t skip any employment information on purpose; if your employment history is long, or if you have held jobs further in the past that align well with your current career objective, you can address these qualifications in your professional profile or in your cover letter. Chronological resumes are the most commonly used style, and work best for anyone who has had some professional experience.

Functional resumes focus on your qualifications, not your career timeline. This style of the resume highlights what skills you have, rather than where and when you acquired or utilize them. In other words, instead of listing your experiences by your job titles, your resume will contained sections titled by your skills such as verbal and written communication, customer satisfaction, project management, etc. This resume style is recommended for college students seeking internships or their first jobs out of college, for those with no professional experience, those who have not worked for some time, or for career changers. While potential employers will appreciate the overview of your skills, if you hold any professional experience, consider using the chronological resume, or a combination resume, over the functional format.

A combination resume, although not often discussed, has become a popular format in recent years. As its name implies, it is a combination of chronological resume style and functional resume style. This hybrid style allows professionals to highlight the qualification they have that are critical for the job of their interest, while at the same time listing employment and educational history in reverse chronological order. A word of caution – don’t try to do too much when using a combination resume by going over board with the type and number of sections you include in your resume. It is best to keep the information listed, even in the combination format, to what is relevant for the job.

Same rules apply for each style. Don’t exceed two pages, tailor your resume to your career objective and put your best foot forward in order to get the interview, and eventually the job.

I understand that is the situation with many young Nigerians. That part will be cover later, but because you asked, I am going to skip some lesson and go straight to that. The lesson is loading....

topygel: Welldone sir, from lesson 1, you talked so much about experince, for that section sir, what do you expect a young graduate who has just finished service to present as experince for an oil and gas trainee job? Is it the classroom experince as a Physics Teacher or IT experience in a cable and wire industry?

Also, for someone who has no experince of IT but only service year, how does such a person presents his experince? Thank you.

Sorry that I skip step 2 of this lesson

Lesson 2 - How to write a professional summary for your resume

In today’s competitive job market, employers relay on well-written resumes to screen potential candidates. In many instances, employers look through job search web sites,to find professionals with skills, education and experience that fit their needs. These employment search web sites, along with many companies’ own online applications, require candidates to upload their resume in order to express interest in a specific opportunity. Without an opportunity to send a personal email, or a cover letter, you have to make sure that your resume expresses your personality in addition to listing your professional and educational experiences and achievements. To do so, you can include a professional profile or summary at the beginning of your resume that allows you to market yourself through a narrative. This section allows your potential employers to learn something unique about you and your career, as well as get a good feel of your communication skills.

To write an effective summary, you should first understand what information should not be communicated in your resume. While a summary provides an insight into what is unique and competitive about you, it is not a place for you to indicate any personal information that does not relate to your career. Information such as ethnicity, marital status, sexual orientation, religious beliefs and affiliations, etc. should be left out of your resume. While descriptive of who you are, this information is not relevant to your potential employer in order to pre-screen your qualifications for their opportunity. Additionally, the summary should not contain your previous professional experience, unless you can clearly demonstrate how such background can be of value in your future career development. Beware of generic statements, such as “I am well organized and detail oriented.” Employers want to hear your unique voice and get a sense of your communication skills while reading the summary portion of your resume. Using generalizations about your abilities will make the employers believe that you are either a poor communicator or are using such statements to fill up space on your resume.

Your summary should be in form of a short paragraph or bulleted statements, containing only several sentences. There isn’t a sentence limit, but as a rule do not take up more than one quarter of the page. Your summary should begin by a headline that summarizes your professional title and/or your professional statement. Emphasize your title by featuring the headline in bold and larger font, as it allows your potential employer to grasp who you are quickly. For example:

Financial Planning Professional
Achieved Double-Digit Return for All Clients through Well-Balanced Financial Portfolios

It is important that this title is well crafted, as it is the first impression your potential employer will have of you.
There are three things a well-written summary should address:
- Your experiences and skills as they relate to your idea job
- What you can bring to the organization and the open position that no other candidate can
- Your professional goals.

Even though your resume summary is written by you, it should be composed in third person, in present tense. Think of it as a summary of what one of your best colleagues would say about your professional achievements. Reinforce your title, and sell only the experiences and skills that meet your career objective. If you have multiple career objectives, such as you wish to get a position in either marketing or public relations, develop separate resume summaries for each of the objectives. A summary can also contain a brief bulleted section highlighting only a few vital competitive skills that you bring to the table. An example of an effective summary would be as follows:

Successful financial planning professional with over 15 years of personal and retirement planning experience. Managed a small financial planning firm, achieving double-digit financial returns for all clients by developing personalized investment portfolios. Leader in development and professional growth of four other financial planners in the firm through effective and motivating mentoring strategies.

Key competencies include:
o Personalized portfolio development
o Financial forecasting

Much like your overall resume, your summary should be well-written and error-free. Make sure to review your summary, and customize as necessary for the various opportunities of interest. An effective summary will help you “hook” your employer; it should sell you as a primary candidate for the job, leaving your employer with a great first impression of you.

Thanks for your patience. That will do for today. So go and look at your summary and make necessary changes.

Good Morning and welcome to day 2 of our blogging from beginning course. Hope you have a nice night rest.

Second Lesson - Blogging From The Beginning

It’s time for your second lesson in the "Blogging From The Beginning" crash course. I hope you found lesson one informative and that you
have decided which blogging platform you are going to use for your new blog.

In this lesson we are going to talk about brainstorming and generating good topic ideas to write about on your new blog.

Starting a blog is fairly easy, but keeping a blog interesting and fresh is a whole other matter. While many marketers have no trouble beginning
a niche blog, the sheer number of abandoned blogs around the ‘net speaks to the fact that many marketers don’t know what to do to keep a
blog going. According to blogging experts, the key to keeping a blog going is to post frequently. This means that you’re going to need a ever
present stream of content coming into your blog.

You may be intimidated by the thought of having to come up with lots of topic ideas. Brainstorming great topic ideas for your blog posts are
easy if you use the following ideas.

News in your niche

Your blog should be timely and there’s no better way to attract attention on your blog than to tap into some ongoing news. No matter what your
niche is you can find news stories and breaking information that will help fuel timely blog posts. Sign up for Google Alerts (it’s free) and set
up alerts on important words in your niche. This way you'll be able to see the news in your niche and blog about current topics.

Comments section

The comments section in your blog can be a great source of writing inspiration. Let’s say you have a post on your marketing blog about
keyword research. Within the comments section, a few people start asking about how to use keywords in articles for article marketing.
Voila! You have your next blog post. Look through your comments section to identify topics that you can write about or questions you can
answer in the form of a blog post.

Resource lists

Are there some websites or other resources that your niche needs to know about? Write a few resource list posts. Resource lists posts are
very easy to write and they provide maximum value to your readers because they can get the information that they need easily. When you
can’t think of anything else to write about you can pull together a helpful list for your readers.

Other blogs in your niche

Keep your finger on the pulse of your niche. Watch other blogs in your niche and see what they are writing about. You can take a different
angle on the same topic, or cover an area of the topic that the original author missed. If you disagree with the author, feel free to go ahead
and express your opinion on your blog. Other bloggers can be a great source of information so be sure to get involved in the community.

Quick tips

Start collecting a list of quick tips you'd like to share with your niche. These can be inspired by your personal experience with the niche, from
other blog posts you've read or from other products in your niche. When you find yourself stuck for blog post ideas, you can write a quick tips
post.

These tips just scratch the surface of where you can find topic ideas for your blog posts. Start keeping a notepad file with blog post ideas and
you'll never be at a loss for material.

That's it for today's lesson. In your next lesson we will talk about the different “Kinds” of blog posts that you can use on your blog.

Lesson 3 - Most effective way to state your responsibilities in job descriptions

If you have never written a resume, the blank page you are facing can be very intimidating. While you can describe your job responsibilities to your friends, listing them out in a resume and showcasing how your experience to date meets your career objectives is a very difficult task.

To get started, you must first consider what type of a job you are seeking. Much like your career objective or summary should reflect your professional goals, your current and past experiences must showcase that you are the best candidate for the job you are applying for. In listing your current and past professional experiences, try to focus on those responsibilities that indicate you are qualified to take the next step in your career. Due to the fact that more and more companies as well as job search sites use scanning software to pick out candidates, it is very important that you use key words, including active verbs, to describe your skills. Instead of beginning your job descriptions with “Responsible for” try to use active verbs such as:

- managed
- developed
- created
- communicated
- interfaced
- achieved, etc.

These key words get straight to the point of describing your responsibilities, which is exactly what the employers are looking for. Chose these words carefully – don’t say that you “managed a project”, implying you were responsible for the whole task from start to finish if you were only responsible for communicating the project to other associates. Instead state that you “Developed and executed the communication strategy for associates,” describing your role more accurately and emphasizing your strengths.

Typically, the first job listed on your resume is the one you currently hold. In this case, make sure that your responsibilities are stated in present tense, as you are still responsible for them. For example, say “Manage accounting activities” instead of “Managed accounting activities.” This will indicate to your potential employer what your day-to-day activities are like and how they compliment responsibilities of the job you are submitting your resume for. All previous jobs should be listed using past tense, and should start with active verbs such as managed, developed, accomplished, etc.

Additionally, make sure that responsibilities you are listing are relevant for to your career objective. List only those responsibilities which help you put your best foot forward. For example, if you are looking for a job that requires managing a team of people, focus on your development and participation in group projects instead of focusing on solitary activities such as office organization.

In terms of formatting, make sure that your responsibilities are listed in bullet points. This formatting is preferred to paragraphs on a resume because it is easier to review quickly. Employers simply scan the resumes and look for key words – if the resume looks overwhelming, with a lot of copy and poor formatting, they will likely discard it. Thus, it is very important that your resume is formatted with enough white space and doesn't contain any errors.
