*Career Management: Defining the Process & Purpose*

The term "career management" is a bit abstract for some people. It sounds
like this fluffy, indefinable concept that doesn't really mean a whole lot.
In reality, career management is a very significant and specific process
that, when done properly, helps to ensure long-term career success.

*The Dangerous Minefield of Modifying Previous Job Titles*

The truth is, many people have done at least some 'creative job title
engineering' at some point. The fear of being caught diminishes simply as
time has worn on and the inhibitions to keep to the facts sometimes wear off
as job seekers try to provide a more accurate snapshot of the work they did.

Fwd: [NewEnglandNetworking] Top 5 Ways to Improve Your Resume

*Top 5 Ways to Improve Your Resume *

Does your resume stand out? Will employers quickly see you are the one to do
the job? Your resume has less than 15 seconds to capture an employer's
attention according to our national survey of 600 hiring managers published
in the book, *Winning Resumes*. You must also incorporate effective keywords
or the electronic search tools will never put you on the hiring manager's
screen. Resume writing is a critical skill to advancing your career so here
are some of the top survey results to follow.

1.

*EMPHASIZE RESULTS! *This was #1 with all surveyed employers.
Accomplishments get attention, not just job descriptions. State the action
you performed and then note the achieved results. Include details about what
you increased or decreased. Use numbers to reflect, how much, how many, and
percentage of gain or reduction. Stress money earned or time savings. For
example: Managed the project implementing a new tracking system that
resulted in a 17% decrease in cost overruns, saving $200,000.

1.

*SPECIFICS SELL.* Vague, general resumes don't cut it, employers say.
Target each resume to the job sought. Incorporate only the information
pertinent to doing that specific job title in the resume. This will
alleviate the tendency to crowd your resume with too much non-related
information, or too much detail on jobs more than ten years in your past.
Start each sentence with a descriptive action verb such as directed,
organized, established, created, planned, etc. as they add powerful impact
to your sentences.

1.

*DO NOT LIE!* A USA TODAY survey of executives stated that over 50% tried
to exaggerate their skills, which was almost always uncovered during
interviews and reference checks. Lying resulted in candidates not getting
the job, or worse, being fired once the fraud was revealed. Employers are on
the lookout for this misrepresentation so be as positive as possible without
exaggerating or misstating the truth.

1.

*BIG MISTAKES MUST BE AVOIDED. *The TOP mistake annoying every manager
and HR person in our survey was spelling mistakes and typos. Many said: "I
stop reading when I find spelling mistakes." Typos scream: "Don't hire me."
Proofread -- you cannot trust computer spell checkers. Cramming too much
into a resume and using microscopic fonts can result in your resume never
being read. Make your resume visually appealing on paper with fonts sizes in
11 or 12 points. Use concise sentences and adequate white space between
points. Many online resume-posting programs incorrectly read boxes and
graphic designs causing unintentional page breaks, so be sure to avoid using
these. Also, many home computers use a mini-word processing program called
WORKS, which is not compatible and can't be read by many employers' business
computers that use MS WORD. Be certain you only use WORD in any
communications you send on to employers.

1.

*THE FINAL TEST -- IS YOUR RESUME GETTING RESULTS?* Are employers calling
on appropriate jobs you are qualified for (not over or under) to perform? If
not, rework your resume, or get professional help to improve it, since a
great resume is the prelude to landing a terrific job.

Posted by: "Marty Latman" baconml@nac.net   martylatman

Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:31 am (PDT)



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bill Jensen, Acclaimed Work Life Expert And Author, To Speak At The Great Hall in
Morristown on Monday, October 25, 2010 at 9:00 AM

To all HR Professionals (and especially those in transition):

Bill Jensen, who CNBC and Fast Company have called today's foremost expert on work
complexity, will be speaking this Monday morning, October 25 2010, from 9:00 –
10:30 AM, at the Great Hall at 70 Maple Avenue in Morristown. His latest book just
published this month, Hacking Work: Breaking Stupid Work Rules for Smart Results,
has already been named by the Harvard Business Review as "One of the ten most
breakthrough ideas of 2010."

Bill's presentation is sponsored by the Morris County Career Network (MCCN) and is
free and open to the public. We especially invite any and all professionals in
career transition to attend what will undoubtedly be an informative, entertaining
and engaging presentation.

About Bill Jensen
Bill Jensen's mission is to make it easier for people to get stuff done. In
addition to Hacking Work , he is also the author of What is Your Life's Work? ,
Simplicity, The Simplicity Survival Handbook and Work 2.0. Bill helps people to do
less and accomplish more. He's an internationally acclaimed bestselling author
and speaker who is known for extremely useful content, and his passion for working
smarter, not harder.

In 1992 Bill launched an ongoing study, The Search for a Simpler Way, and has
interviewed and surveyed over 500,000 people around the world about what really
matters and how they get everything done. That research has supported all of his
books. Bill Jensen is a passionate simpleton and an outspoken gadfly against
corporate stupidity that wastes people's time, attention and dreams. He's
President/CEO of the Jensen Group, a change consulting firm he founded in 1985. He
travels the world as an inspiring speaker and practical workshop instructor. His
most valuable valueless possession is a1950's cardboard box that resided in a hall
closet in his childhood home. On the side, in Mom's handwriting: "Bill's
Mittens, Hats, Scarves" His personal life fantasy is to bicycle around the
globe via breweries. You can learn more about Bill at www.hackingwork.com.

About The Morris County Career Network (MCCN)
The Morris County Career Networking (MCCN) group is a non-profit organization
dedicated to assisting professionals develop and polish their networking and job
search skills. The group meets the 2nd & 4th Mondays of every month from 9:00 –
11:30 AM in the morning in the Great Hall at 70 Maple Avenue in Morristown. While
St. Peter's Episcopal Church hosts and sponsors the group, the programs of the
MCCN are non-religious, non-sectarian, non-denominational and open to all. After a
short welcoming and review of logistics, the session is turned over to the speaker
until about 10:30 AM. At that time, the facilitated networking session is conducted
until no later than 11:30 AM.

About the Professional Services Group (PSG) of Dover
Most (but not all) members of MCCN are also members of the Professional Services
Group (PSG) of the Dover office of the NJ Department of Labor (DOL). While it is
not necessary to be a member of the Dover PSG (or any of the NJ DOL's PSGs, for
that matter) to attend any MCCN group meeting, the speakers and networking program
that the MCCN offers supplements the program offered by the Dover PSG. The Dover
PSG offers a free 7-course curriculum on job search basics taught by professional
volunteers open to all New Jersey workers and/or residents. You can learn more about
the PSG and how to register for classes and membership requirements at
www.doverpsg.com.

The MCCN provides a conducive setting for career management education and
facilitated networking activities. The MCCN speakers and networking programs are
meant to complement and build upon the basic courses as offered by the Dover PSG.
Therefore, our programs target the more sophisticated job seeker who is interested
in honing their job search and networking techniques so as to give our members an
extra edge in the very difficult employment environment that has developed since the
economic events of September 2008.

Directions
The Great Hall of St. Peter's Church is located at 70 Maple Avenue and is in a
separate building behind the church itself. The church is located at the corner of

required to move your car. The Church of the Assumption, two blocks south of the
Great Hall on Maple Avenue, offers free parking to MCCN members while attending
Monday morning MCCN events at their lower parking lot. The lower parking lot is at
the corner of Madison Street and Macculloch Avenue and is accessible on Macculloch
Avenue. Assumption Church's lower parking lot is a short walk from the Great
