Some people say that
the resume is THE most important part of the job changing process, while
others say it’s the cover letter and even others say it’s the interview.
The truth is that they are all right and wrong! It’s like asking what
is more important in a car, the brake pedal, the gas pedal or the steering
wheel. Obviously you need all three to get you from point A to point
B. The main purpose of a
resume along with the accompanying cover letter is to get you the
interview, pure and simple. The way to accomplish this is to show off your
strengths and achievements and minimize your weaknesses (we all have
them). Now is not the time to be modest - if you don’t tell the hiring
manager how good you are and what you can do for his company, no one else
will. Cover letters and
resumes are both used to get you the interview; they just do it a little
differently. | ||||

I recently did a web
search on time management and received 50,500,000 hits. In reality
probably only two to three hundred of them were really about time
management, but the prevalence of such sites indicates how important the
concept is to all of us. The time management industry is flooded with
books about how manage your day. Time management tools with everything
from computer programs for scheduling to the ubiquitous planner to simple
task lists can be found in every bookstore across the country. Yet recent
reports indicate that we are working longer hours, sleeping less and
decreasing productivity. How can you make time
management work for you? Really that’s the
question, regardless of what system you choose to apply to your time
management needs, it has to be something that can work for you. If your
time management tool, choice or system doesn’t work for you then it simply
becomes another task that has to be accomplished in an already busy
day. | ||
