Jack and Poke

I love to learn about different organizations, their individual cultures and the people who make the organizations "work." If there is one thing I've learned, regardless of the job, it's the importance of humor.

Years ago, I took a tour of the Jack Daniels distillery. After the tour had ended, our guide asked if anyone had any questions. "How many people work here," I asked.

He said, "About half."

TGIF! Have a great weekend.

Is Your Resume "Out of This World?"

Since most of us do not include a personal photo with our resumes, do you ever wonder what picture you create in the minds of potential employers based on your poorly chosen words and formatting?

Some tips to get that all important interview:

1. If employment gaps exist, it is totally acceptable to include volunteer and/or temp work. This shows that you have still been plugged into your community and your networking skills are sharp.


2. Just the facts ma'am.
   Don't include lots of fluffy words/overly detailed information. Provide a clean resume listing relevant accomplishments only.


3. Cast a broad net. Your skills could apply to a wide variety of job opportunities.


4. Cybernetworking is critical (LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter).


5. Make sure your contact information is correct. I recently narrowed down a pile of resumes for a client only to contact the final cut...one of the candidates had the wrong phone number on her resume. Yikes.
