Job Search Black Hole Why I Dont Reply To You

Job Search Black Hole Why I Dont Reply To You (Read this letter as if I was that hiring manager that isnt returning your calls and emails) Did you see the post last week about why I delete your emails? Now Ill tell you why you think I dont ever read or reply to your emails but first, you think I dont read or reply because: Im too good for you, Im too busy with more important things, Im a jerk. Thats what Ive thought before.  Ive felt brushed off, or less than the person Ive sent the email to. How could someone be so incosiderate and rude?  How hard is it to reply to an email?? Seriously. Jerks. Right?  Ive thought that. Ive felt that. And now I think Im the jerk.  Because I have over 2,200 emails in my JibberJobber email (inbox) that I havent replied to.  And I have about 12,000 emails in my gmail inbox that are just sitting there, waiting for me. Why dont I respond to them?  Here is some insight that might be helpful: I am, and I get, overwhelmed! With everything.  With life, calls, other emails, deadlines, projects, etc. I dont ignore you because Im a jerk.  Your email just falls through the cracks because Im not good at time management, and managing the inbox. Its as simple as that. WHAT THAT MEANS IS SOMETHING AMAZING: Dont give up on me. Sometimes, I all I need is a gentle nudge, or another email reminding me of the first one. Be persistent without being annoying.  Remind me, because your email might be sitting on Page 3 of my inbox, and Im not going to see it since I never get to Page 3. If you take it personal, and get offended, Im sorry. but sometimes all I need is for you to remain top-of-mind do that with a simple reminder. Cool?

Key Things to Know When Writing a Civil Engineering Resume

Key Things to Know When Writing a Civil Engineering ResumeKey things when writing a civil engineering resume include: focusing on what you are good at, and matching your skills to the job description. If you don't know what you are good at, it's likely that you will over-look areas where you can do an even better job. People are attracted to people who can adapt to situations, and that means that you should try to be as broad in your talents as possible.It is common for civil engineers to be good at everything from the big picture to the smallest details. Since so many people come to work each day, this doesn't always work in your favor. You can spend hours going over every single detail of a project, only to forget one or two details that will make you stand out. In order to avoid this, focus on areas where you excel and tailor your resume to highlight these areas.Many times a person comes to a new job with no specific skills that make them stand out. In order to get a foot in the d oor, they will usually interview for the job and simply make themselves stand out. People are attracted to people who are knowledgeable and interesting, but they aren't very good at that. Focus on those areas where you excel and you'll get noticed.Another key thing when writing a civil engineering resume is to think about the company you are applying to hire for. You may have been hired before by a company that does not even need someone with your skills. By showcasing your knowledge of the job, you'll be more likely to get hired the next time. The employer wants someone who knows the company, the people, and the work that need to be done.Key things to consider when creating a civil engineering resume include keywords that will show employers what the job requires. These keywords can be anything that makes you a good fit for the job, but it is important to be specific about this. By using keywords, you can show employers what types of things you know and will be able to do for the j ob.Some jobs require different expertise, such as people who work on things like structures or foundations. In order to make sure that you are receiving a response from a company that is looking for a civil engineer, you need to know what their needs are. Even if you think you know the type of work they are looking for, it could be a project that you are not familiar with. Using keywords can help point this out to the company.One other thing to look for is if the company is currently hiring. This is especially important if you know that the company may be hiring soon. You can use keywords that relate to the job to give the company more information on the search they are doing.When writing a civil engineering resumes, key things to consider include trying to keep it to a one page document. Keep all of the information relevant and focused on the job that needs to be filled. You can also write about any experience you have in that specific field, or a previous job that might show you c an be hired for the job.

7 Real Reasons to Be More Intimate

7 Real Reasons to Be More Intimate So we all know the obvious reasons for turning up the frequency on our passion-filled trysts.  But if you find that your partner is more the analytical than physical type, maybe a little scientific prodding will light the fire.  If you want to have more sex but they want to play another game of Candy Crush or Mortal Kombat, it might be time to break out the facts. According to Dr. Nicholas Sieveking a double board certified plastic surgeon and anti-aging/functional medicine specialist, the more sex we have the better we look and longer we may live. He suggests we should  reduce the hours primping in the bathroom and focus on what’s going on in the bedroom. Here are his  7 reasons to have more sex.  Along with a little raised-eyebrow commentary by MsCareerGirl. Erase wrinkles  The Doctor Says: There is a biochemical basis for a look of relaxation and vibrant, glowing skin. According to Dr. Sieveking, “a healthy sex life normalizes cortisol levels and other inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and interleukins. This relaxes us and helps stimulate normal growth hormone levels and other sex hormones such as testosterone. It’s scientific truth that growth hormone and testosterone help repair damaged skin, erase wrinkles, stimulate collagen regeneration, and give you an overall younger and healthier appearance.” MsCareerGirl Says: This is very good news.  I know Ive seen some interesting facial contortions in the midst of a passionate encounter.  Might have made a few myself, come to think of it (wink!).  Fortunately, the sex actually helps to put things back in place afterwards. Sharpen your memory The Doctor Says: Sure you can play sodoku, do crossword puzzles and add memory boosting foods to your diet such as leafy greens, vegetables, nuts, fish rich in omega 3’s and legumes. These are all important. However, Dr. Sieveking adds, “when you have more sex your sleep quality enhances thus allowing time for cellular turnover and repair. Studies show, particularly in women, as growth hormone and testosterone levels increase and become balanced; memory improves. MsCareerGirl Says: This could be good or bad.  Some of those nights Id just as soon forget.   Ala Jim Carrey in Liar Liar Ive Had Better. Ward off life threatening diseases The Doctor Says: Maintaining adequate levels and hormonal balance reduces the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and stroke. It also helps to maintain muscle and bone strength. Studies show that sexually active people have health benefits that carry them into their later years,” offers Dr. Sieveking. MsCareerGirl Says: Yes.  Im thinking the muscle and bone(r) strength are biggies.  So the rest must be good things.  Reduce stress The Doctor Says: Often referred to as the “cuddle hormone,” the stress and anxiety feel good hormone oxytocin floods the brain when we have sex. “This is what gives us that sleepy, relaxed, feeling after orgasm. Another hormone prolactin kicks in during orgasm and adds to that desire to breathe deeply and fall into a peaceful slumber,” explains Dr. Sieveking. MsCareerGirl Says: Natures version of opioids.  So that explains why I sleep so well afterwards!  Reduce pain The Doctor Says: According to Dr. Sieveking, the common expression: “not  tonight I have a headache,” needs to change to “I have a headache, so let’s have sex!” Oxytocin also alleviates pain. It’s one of the hormones naturally released during labor. MsCareerGirl Says: Okay, I get this is true, from personal experience.  But I cant keep two sessions of sex in a bottle in my purse. Curb your appetite The Doctor Says: Another great natural hormone that is produced during sex is phenetylamine. Dr. Sieveking explains that this hormone serves as a natural amphetamine that eases food cravings and regulates appetite. If you have sex in the morning or before dinner, you may feel like eating less and find yourself satisfied with a smaller food portion. MsCareerGirl Says: MsCareerGirl is going to keep quiet here.  Very, very quiet.  (Blush) Boost immunity The Doctor Says: Immunoglobin A, our own immune-system-boosting antibody is enhanced during sex. Another powerful chemical DHEA is released during orgasm. This “superhero chemical” balances the immune system and helps to repair tissue. MsCareerGirl Says: Great news, indeed!  After a rough-and-tumble, theres sometimes a bit of tissue that definitely needs repair. More Sex ?  Yes!! So the next time your partner balks at having sex, you can make your case. Have sex like your life depends on it. It actually does! Cuddling Image:  Sophia Louise

How to build buzz around yourself

How to build buzz around yourself Forget the idea that networking is a job-hunting tool. Networking is the job hunt. But networking is not just passing out your business card and e-mailing your friends friend. Networking is making yourself buzz-worthy so people want to be connected with you. This is not the old networking that celebrated extroverts and crushed introverts. Building buzz celebrates the diligent information broker and crushes the relentless self-promoter. Build buzz for yourself by processing information in new ways and connecting people and ideas in ways that are interesting and provide new experiences. Here are four things to remember when you want to build buzz: 1. Be known for good work. This is the most powerful tool in your career. Even if you start with no reputation and no connections, its not unrealistic to get known for doing outstanding work. If youre great, people will notice you, says Dana Zemack, founder of Zemack PR Communications. David Weekly is a programmer who has built such a strong reputation for having good ideas that popular blogs such as Slashdot, BoingBoing, and Lifehacker reliably post links to his new products. I want to build a reputation as someone who comes up with interesting things and tries to be useful, Weekly said. I use my reputation as a launch platform for my ideas. His current company is PBWiki, which offers a service that gives people a simple way to collaborate online, in a wiki, for example.When he announced the company he got 1,000 customers on the first day, just from being mentioned on those blogs. 2. Contribute to the community. For Weekly, building buzz is not a single project, but an ongoing commitment to giving quality work to a larger community. And this should be how you think about yourself, as well. The days of just pushing plain old information out to an audience are ending. Stories, not raw facts, are what people can relate to. A great way to connect with people is by way of stories, says Zemack. When you build experiences or create a story around a something, then it becomes more engaging and personal. You can do this many ways but maybe the easiest is to add your comments to blogs. This is a way to broker information in a useful way, sort of like inviting yourself to a party, but its OK to do so, as long as you make relevant contributions. Also, give away good information. There is so much information available that hoarding it will get you nowhere. People will just look elsewhere to get ideas. Instead, share as much as you can with the community, to build your reputation into what youd like to be known for. Information is not the main ingredient. Its knowing how to enact it, says BL Ochman, author of The Whats Next Blog. 3. Shape your own destiny. How people see you online matters. For example, most young people would not date someone before Googling them, and we do this kind of electronic research routinely before buying products and services as well. Recruiters also use the Internet to identify job candidates rather than sift through piles of resumes. So you need to manage your online identity to make sure people see you as the person you want to be. Peter Himler is author of The Flack and founder of Flatiron Communications in New York. His decades of experience in the public relations and communications field includes serving as spokesman for major companies, chairing organizations and giving lectures. He is all over Google, but had little control over what Google served up. By blogging, Himler shapes his online image his digital footprint because his blog now comes up first when you Google his name. You can also take control of what people see by removing the bad stuff. There are no guarantees, of course, but if you want to clean up your online identity, ReputationDefender has proprietary resources for both finding the dirt and cleaning it up. 4. Think in terms of experience and get off the sofa. The more types of meaningful connections you can make with an audience, the more effective the buzz will be. The best way to generate buzz about what you do is to combine an offline and online experience, says Zemack. Advertising industry veteran Steve Hall, editor of Adrants, rattles off many fun examples of effective buzz-generating tactics that do not include a computer. For example, Canon paid couples to carry around its new product and ask passersby to take their pictures. That person who took the picture inadvertently learned how to use the camera. And, if things went as planned, the unsuspecting photographer would also hear a few benefits of using the camera: We just love the zoom lens, could you use that, please? This is an experience you could never have online. (Though today the ethics of this particular promotion seem flawed.) Also, just like people go to blogs to learn something and have a fun engagement with a community, people like to do the same thing offline. Throwing a party is one of the oldest tools in the box for building buzz, and it still works. Zemack has made a name for herself, and her communications firm, by throwing ice cream parties and chocolate-tasting parties. The exotic flavors described by well-versed wait staff and perfectly complimentary hipster circles mingling over tasty cones allows people to learn something new, and to make new introductions just the kinds of experiences Zemack wants a reputation for creating.

Careers that are Perfect for Analytical Thinkers - Margaret Buj - Interview Coach

Careers that are Perfect for Analytical Thinkers Problem solvers, or analytical thinkers to give them the more important sounding name, are an asset to any workplace.  They usually have more patience than most people and when a challenge presents itself will not panic or get stressed out, They just work their way through the problem logically and are far more likely to come up with the answer than someone who does not think in the same way. This means that jobs, where problems can have dramatic effects, are ideal for them. Airline Pilot If the person in charge of the plane you are on did not know how to solve a problem, you would have cause to be worried. Being an airline pilot involves aviation courses, like the one at https://www.aircharter.co.uk/about-us/news-features/blog/top-10-aviation-courses  training about the planes and many other things. There are often minor problems with planes that the passengers are never aware of, and this is because as an airline pilot most of them are problem solvers as well. The job is well paid because of the responsibility that goes with it. Business Analyst Businesses can run into all sorts of problems, as you can see at https://www.hiscox.co.uk/business-blog/the-10-biggest-challenges-businesses-face-today-and-need-consultants-for/, for which there can be many different reasons, A business analyst needs to understand how to get to the root of the cause, and then how to solve it. These challenges are not always financial ones. It could be a problem with their digital systems, their marketing strategy or even with finding a good workforce. With the weight of an analytic thinker behind them, their problems will soon be brought to the fore, and hopefully solved. This is a job where often people are self-employed, so what they earn is down to their fees, and the quality of the work they do. Accountant Working with facts and figures is perfect for an analytical brain. The attention to detail needed, the solving of accounting problems and dealing with financial data, needs a problem solver so that clients do not end up in the bad books of the taxman. This job requires the ability to work alone as well as with a group of other people, and it pays a salary that is in line with the difficult job accountants often face. Criminologist Anyone that is not an analytical thinker should not even consider this work as his or her career. You need to be able to structure ideas and work with complex theories so that you can help to solve some of the problems the criminal justice system faces. There are various fields you could work in, including research, consulting in courts, teaching and policy analysis. It is such a specialist field that it pays very well. If you find that you have a logical mind and that solving problems comes easy to you, you have a gift that you should steer into a career that will reward you for it. A few have been mentioned here, but there are many more you could choose from, as there are problems in all walks of life and in all careers.

The Job Boards You Should Be Using IM HIRED

The Job Boards You Should Be Using Let an inside tell you where all the good stuff is hidden   Its like being a kid in a candy store but this shop keeper isnt giving out sweet treats, theyre offering up vacancies. Okay, you might prefer the sweet analogy but lets get the adulting done and focus on getting a career (dont worry you can have the sweets and the job) There seems to be job boards popping up everywhere, whether sector based, location specific or just general job boards, its like you have to sign up to a million sites if you want to find a job. But is that really the best use of your time? Simple answer is no! It is possible to stick to just a few job boards meaning you can spend more time researching companies and prepping for an interview rather wasting your entire life searching online (lets be honest youre going to end up using that extra time searching online for clothes, shoes or cat videos arent you.) I am forever telling you there is no short cuts in recruitment and you need to put a lot of time into your job hunt so its refreshing to actually be giving you some time saving advice!   Yes, finding the perfect career is time consuming but you need to be focusing your time in the right areas and scrolling through countless job boards definitely isnt productive. Giving you the Inside Scoop Before you ask, no I dont work for a job board but I have done my research. As a recruiter I spent days, no maybe weeks filtering through job boards to find out where I should be promoting my adverts (this was by far one of the least interesting parts of my job.) I dont want to have to put you through that same misery of completing the job board screening process, instead I am going to share my thoughts on exactly where you should be looking for work. This is my list of the job boards you should be heading to. IndeedI had to start with Indeed as its the world largest job board so where else could I possibly begin! According to their site they have 200 million users each month so if you have never heard of them before then you are probably in the minority here (I mean, did you send your last application off via pigeon carrier?!?) Okay, so we all know its big but what features should you be using? You can stick to the basics and simply search via job title and location, filtering your search based on your requirements but you can go a step or two further. The first great feature on the site is the company review section. Were all used to looking at the reviews before going to a hotel or enjoying a meal out so why wouldnt you do the same for something much more important, your career. On Indeed you can simply click on the company name in the advert or search them in the review section and real applicant, current and ex-employee feedback will appear. You can break the information down by location for larger companies and even see the average salaries paid by the organisation, making salary negotiations  a little easier. The second great feature is the salary checker, you can select a location and job type and see the typical salaries for that role. This can help you set a salary expectation that is realistic. CV Library So we started big and we arent getting much smaller with this one, CV Library is the UKs leading independent job board hosting over 171,000 jobs (so youll be spoilt for choice.) Again, the usual options apply with the ability to filter job searches and sign up for regular updates but my favourite feature of this site is its CV database. Ive mentioned before the option of making yourself visible on job boards and CV Library is a bigger player when in this remit. So how does that benefit you? Well it means a lot of companies and recruiters are actively looking for potential employees on CV Library and if your name is part of that list, they could be calling you about their next vacancy. There are over 9,000 companies currently using the site to find the right applicant so make sure you can be found. Another, great tool of CV Library is their blog. Now Im not suggesting you desert  my page to dedicated your career advice reading to CV Library but when I am not posting Ill let you off for checking out their huge library of articles. Jobsite You might be thinking, Ive given away the biggest job boards so why look anywhere else? But Jobsite is a site you should be checking out. Jobsite is by no means small as it is part of an organisation with 44 million users worldwide per month (Id love those stats for my little site) but thats not why I included them. They are in the list because they are actually incorporated with a 100 other sites, so basically youre getting a lot for your money, or in this case time when it comes to Jobsite. This site has most of the features previously mentioned and it is super easy to use and adjust to your own requirements. Reed Reed isnt just a job board, it is actually a recruitment agency and a very large one at that. With its #lovemondays they provide a full service to support job seekers finding the perfect career. They are flexible in their approach as you can sign up to Reed the Job Board or Reed the Recruitment Agency, its entirely up to you and how you wish to manage your job search. You can still shortlist jobs and tailor your search but with Reed you can even search for your training needs. With their course search you can review online and traditional classroom based studies, helping you boost your next application. The list contains a mixture of free training to university courses. Another, unique feature on Reeds site is their recruitment directory  which allows you to search through  a huge list of recruitment agencies in your area. Recruitment agencies can get some bad press (a post for another day) but they are worth checking  out as they could help connect you with local employers. All these job boards are easy to use on your mobile devices, coming with apps if you prefer to look for jobs on the go and if you dont have time to search every day for new posts, make sure to sign up for their mailing lists. With so many employers advertising on these sites it seems unnecessary to go anywhere else but remember that job boards are only one part of the job search, the rest can be found in my post 10 Ways to Get a Job.
