How To Best Start Your Career

By: Dalvin Rumsey

Every person should take the time and do the simple exercise of career planning. You will get a new perspective regarding your career goals. It is a very useful exercise, especially before starting to look for a new job.

There are so many goals to set, that most of the people do not even know what to choose. All kinds of material gains, fame and wealth, comfort and luxury, glamour and beauty are among the things that most count in this matter. The choices one can make are quite confusing, as it can go from acting to singing, writing to banking, software programming to business. Some doubts may also occur in people’s minds. They often wonder whether they are up to the goal they have chosen and whether they will be successful in that certain field. Maybe none of these career paths is suitable for your skills and performances, but it is worth the time to analyze all the options.


The first step when starting the career planning task, is choosing between finding out what you really like doing and do it no matter what the gains and the growth patterns may be, and , as a second option, finding out what really motivates you, find out which among the careers gives you what you want and build up the necessary skills for it. No matter what you choose in this first stage, the end result will be getting the goal that most motivates you. So, in the first method the journey itself is your reward and in the second one you are carefully working your way to your reward.

Knowing your strong and weak points will be most useful in making the choice. In order to do that, a good idea would be to consider all your accomplishments, all the compliments you got, the times when you worked with passion at and all the work that really inspired you. Write these down and you will get your answer. Should you be good at organizing, at making people comfortable, at physical activity, at leading, at solving puzzles, at playing music or games, any of these things can provide a career option you can set as a goal.

The next step is listing the things that motivate you most. After considering all your aspirations and aptitudes, you will most certainly make the right choice regarding your career goal.

5 Good Reasons To Get Out Of A Career You Hate

By: Steve Errey

A lot of people don’t enjoy their work. A lot of people come to hate what they do for a living. I used to be one of them, and left it way too late to get out of what I was doing. I was off sick with stress and on a cocktail of anti-depressants when I was made redundant and hit rock bottom.

I had to build myself back up piece by piece, and it was only then that I found that I could do what I really wanted to do. I don’t regret what happened because it woke me up and brought me to where I am now, but I know that I could have made a move sooner if only I’d had the courage. The impact of putting up with a job I hated took its toll, and these are things I see frequently in the people I chose to work with.

1. Staying Will Cost You in Stress
Chances are you’re already stressed by the situation you’re in. Stress is a feeling of not being in control of what’s happening, not being able to make choices about what happens and feeling powerless about what’s happening.


By sticking at a job you hate you are, by definition, causing yourself more stress. You’re ignoring the choices you have and deciding instead to tolerate what you know full well you don’t want to tolerate. The impact of the stress is cumulative, and as time goes by you’ll notice that you get more short-tempered, it gets more difficult to think clearly and your motivation slips away. Ultimately, stress can lead to more serious conditions like depression and physical ailments like high blood pressure (and worse).

Continued stress can be very damaging, and as your primary responsibility in life is to make sure you’re okay it’s important to be radically honest with yourself about what’s happening and be prepared to make some choices.

2. It’ll Limit Your View
When you stay in a job you hate, or even one you just don’t like a whole lot, you’re forcing yourself into a role that doesn’t work for you in some way and is too small for you. The more time you spend in that role the more you come to see it as your reality, and you forget about what can happen outside of that role.

Over time your world view shrinks to the confines of the role you’ve forced yourself into, and it becomes more and more difficult to see other options or to look at how else things can be. The more time you spend in that role the smaller your view becomes.

Always remember what’s most important to you and what you really want. Always acknowledge the strengths and talents you have and always recognise that you have positive choices you can make.

3. Your Self-Confidence Will Take a Battering
Spending time in a job you hate sends all the wrong messages to yourself. After a while in a role you don’t want to be in, the message you’re effectively giving yourself is, "I can’t do anything else", "I’m nothing special" or "I don’t deserve anything better than this."

Often the biggest impact of squeezing yourself into a role that you don’t want to be in is that it erodes your self confidence and self esteem. You tell yourself that it’s not possible to do anything about the situation you’re in, that you should simply ‘put up with it’, that you don’t have the ability to do anything about the way things are and that you don’t deserve anything better.

As time passes, you feel more and more powerless to do anything about the situation and you lose trust in your decision making ability. You forget to listen in to what your intuition tells you (that still, small voice inside you that knows exactly what’s happening) and you lose the confidence to step up and play a better game.

Don’t allow your confidence to shrink and atrophy through inaction. Trust your own instinct and intuition. Even though it’s scary, always remember that you can make choices that serve you well and that you have what it takes to plan and prepare what comes next in your life.

4. Your Relationships Will Suffer
When you’re in a place in life you don’t want to be in, it’s often the people closest to us who see the worst of us.

When you’re stressed, frustrated, upset or angry, it’s a partner, friend or family member who you’ll snap at, be short with or not let fully into what’s happening. Give it time, and the impact on your relationships will be a significant one. You might vent or whine at those closest to you whenever the opportunity arises, or you might start keeping things in because you don’t want to have to talk about or think about what’s going on. Your communication in key relationships becomes less effective and the way you behave in those relationships might be negatively coloured by how you’re thinking and feeling. We’ve all known people who bring us down, who seem to be really negative or just talk about everything that’s wrong, and they’re not pleasant company to be around.

Be open and honest with yourself first of all, then be aware of how your situation is leaking out into your behaviour and affecting your relationships. I’m guessing that your intention isn’t to damage your relationships with those closest to you, so keep your positive intention in mind when you’re with them, talk with them honestly when it’s right to, and remember to have fun, laugh and be their friend too.

5. You’re Not Delivering on Your Capability
You’re more capable than you know. We’ve all got untapped potential and none of us have touched the ceiling of our capability.

If you’re running the very real risk of damaging your confidence, self-esteem, relationships and options by sticking at a job you hate, you’re clearly not delivering on your true capability. Even though you know deep down that you can have, do and be more in life you’re not exploring that capability or looking at what you’d love to do, what would put a big grin on your face or what would make you step back and go "Wow!"

What do you want for yourself? How would you prefer to think or feel about your work? How would it be if you could find a career that works for you, rather than the other way around? Go with where there’s some energy, fun or excitement even if it looks scary.

Have fun with your capability – it’s yours to explore and it’s just waiting to be explored.

How to Write A Better Resume

Brian S. Konradt

Which word is more scarier to you? If someone yelled “fire!” or if someone whispered, “resume”? To most people, hearing the word “resume” induces panic attacks and beads of sweat across the forehead.

Writing a resume is hard work. You must write your resume correctly; it must be perfect! Any blunders in your resume could cost you the job. The entire resume-writing process can be confusing. We’ve all asked ourselves these questions: “Which information goes in?” “Which stays out?” “How exactly should I format my resume?”

If you jumped into a pile of books and articles on how to write the perfect resume, you’d drown in words, sentences and advice that all sound the same. So what in the world will make your resume leap out of the pile and scream out, “Grab me! I am the person you want to hire!”


Writing a resume is an art and a science. We need to know a successful formula of words, sentences and phrases to convey our selling points. The following tips are shortcuts to write a stellar resume for whatever sort of job you desire.

FORMAT WITH CAUTION

Your professional history will strongly dictate your resume format. We must choose one of three basic resume types: chronological, functional or combination.

THE CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME - This is the most common type of resume, the one that comes to mind when the word is mentioned. A chronological resume is appropriate if you’ve had steady work experience with little to no breaks, have kept each of your jobs for long periods of time, or have industry-related experience that shows your working toward a specific goal. The Chronological Resume is comprised of:

Objective (which we’ll discuss in a few paragraphs)
Employment history (starting from your most recent job)
Education
Optional section (for things such as military experience or any special skills/interests
that may pertain to the job at hand)
References

THE FUNCTIONAL RESUME - A variation of the chronological resume, a functional resume intends to highlight skills found outside of work experience; it’s useful if you’re in the process of changing careers, have little to no work experience or have held several, seemingly unrelated jobs. This sort of resume is comprised of:

Qualifications summary (a bulleted list of achievements or interests that qualify you
for the job for which you’re applying).
Employment history
Education
Optional section
References

THE COMBINATION RESUME - A combination resume is what it sounds like: a combination of the chronological and functional formats. It tends to be slightly more useful than the functional resume, as that format sometimes makes an employer suspicious that you’re hiding something (such as a lack of experience). The combination resume is comprised of:

Qualifications summary
Education (especially if it’s a particularly strong area for you)
Employment history (in reverse order as the chronological resume)
Optional section
References

RETHINK YOUR OBJECTIVE

Many books and articles extol the virtues of an objective; it is, after all, a great way to position yourself within a job and show an employer what you want and how willing you are to get it. A lot of job-seekers have been ditching the objective in favor of a qualifications summary, and employers seem to be responding well. The reason for this is simple: objectives are, by nature, focused heavily on you and not the employer. Your potential employer, while certainly interested in what you want, is far more concerned with your qualifications and what you can do for the company.

The idea isn’t all bad, though. It just needs a little tweaking. Instead of an objective, try creating a positioning statement.; it functions on the same way as an objective but puts the focus on you. Take a look at these examples:

Objective: To become an associate editor of children’s books at a major publishing house.

Positioning Statement: Children’s book editor with 10 years of experience in publishing.

These are loose examples, of course, but you get the idea; put the focus on you and the employer will take notice.

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL

Be specific about what exactly you’ve done. Your former job responsibilities and achievements are excellent selling points in your resume. Avoid being vague, unless you want your resume to read like everyone else’s. Think about your previous jobs: what exactly did you do and how does that qualify you for a new position? For instance, don’t write that you “assisted the senior editor with a number of editorial duties.” Instead, write “contributed to editorial copy and content editing, cover design and overall concept of several major projects.” Detailing your specific job duties and accomplishments show the employer what you’re capable of and what he or she can expect from you as an employee.

SHOW THEM WHAT YOU CAN DO

It’s tempting to outline your responsibilities to save some space and not appear overly conceited, but remember -- you’re here to sell to yourself. You have one shot to make an impression. Chances are good that the employer will already know a bit about the duties of your last job (especially if it’s linked to this job), so they need to read about what you’ve accomplished as opposed to what you did. Anyone could go through the motions of a nine-to-five day, but what did you actually achieve? What were the results of your work? Don’t be modest with this; if a book you edited hit the best-seller list, then by all means, let the employer know. Never withhold important information about your achievements.

WORD IT WELL

The words you use in your resume are just as important as the results you’ve achieved or the jobs you’ve held. Make sure you use lively, engaging words and always avoid the passive voice; it reads in a boring, trite manner. Always write in active voice so you sound more formal and direct. Stay concise -- are you using more words that necessary? Would a great action verb effectively replace a whole sentence? Are there any obvious clichés, like “great customer service skills”? Strive to say things in the most interesting manner possible, and make sure you spell all words correctly. There’s nothing worse than a typo on a resume, as it leaves the impression that “if this person doesn’t care enough to spellcheck their resume,” the employer thinks, “then how in the world will they care enough to do this job well?”

PERFECT THE PRESENTATION

Resume presentation is another crucial aspect to the resume-writing process. How your resume looks will serve as the employer’s first impression of you; if it looks bad, or amateurish, your resume may not get a second glance. Make sure the visual formatting is correct (consult a resume guide book for samples of formatting) and always leave lots of white space; this makes it easier for an employer to skim through your resume and find the information they need. Use an easily readable font, such as Arial or Times New Roman; print it on high-quality white stock (no photocopies!); and send it in a white or manila envelope with a printed mailing label. And always, always, always remember to include your contact information, even your email address; it’ll be hard to land that new position if the employer can’t even get in touch with you.
