Is your Resume all Frosting and No Cake?

Take a moment and consider the person who will read and evaluate your resume and job application.  Not just YO|U|R resume, but dozens more after yours... do you know what they are looking for?

Cake!

The employer wants something of substance that relates to HIS needs in getting the job done -
something that lets him know
1. you appreciate the pressures on his time
2. you have an understanding of the job you are applying for

but mostly

3. that he is fond of CAKE!

Many resumes are filled with fluffy frosting which looks good and may make the applicant proud of being fourth in a local spelling contest or employee of the month three years ago...

but that is "frosting"

and the employer needs to have something of value or they will look for someone else's resume that has some cake. 

Come, see what I mean in the following video...

maybe even have some popcorn while you are watching it. 

Now get back to your resumes and practice applications and scrape off the excess fluff you have. 
Enjoy the day...

Essentials: JobHunt Lesson 6: Bees Can't Fly and You Can't Work?

Lesson 6: Bees Can't Fly, You Can't Work and Other Lies

Yup, for years there was a theory that the little bug, bees, could not possibly fly. Scientists and other really-smart-people said that these round, tubby creatures with itty-bitty wings can't physically or aerodynamically fly.  

They do, the story goes, because nobody told them they can't.  If somehow we would get word to the bees that they cannot possibly fly and that they should just stop trying, then millions of bees would suddenly fall out of the sky never to fly again. 

What Bees teach you in your job hunt...

In the 1990’s, scientists used really...slow...motion...film to show that bees actually had adapted a way of beating their wings that was unique – not up and down but in a circular motion that made what had been thought impossible to be possible. 

Let us Talk about YOU: 

Do you ever hear that there are things you can't do because you are too short, fat, old, dumb, bald, poor or just too (fill-in-the-blank)??  Others say the same sad things over & over to you or worse yet, maybe you are saying them to yourself.  

Repeating these lies about who you are and what you are capable of can limit you so that you may never “fly” to where you are capable of. 

Back to my original point – if bees didn’t fly, 

think of the flowers that would never get pollinated, 

the honey that would never be made – 

we are all better off because bees do not worry about 

what they “cannot” do and they have adapted a new way 

because they thought they CAN. 

How about you?  The world would be a sadder place if you do not take the steps to be more than ‘they’ (or you) may think you can become.  

Speaking Frankly:

My high school friend Frank had a problem.  He wanted a career, but his guidance counselor kept saying no.  

Frank just had to aim lower.  Don't aim high, his counselor said  - it would only frustrate him to get rejected.  Avoid the frustration he was told and just aim lower. Frank told me he had one thing in his heart, but the counselor must know something he didn’t know, the counselor was the expert for crying out loud.  

But Frank followed his dream instead.

It had been years since I had seen Frank when we met last year.  He was the same affable guy I knew growing up and he was home on leave from the Navy.  You see his title is now Admiral Frank.  He got there by listening to the one expert about Frank who would always be with him, 

Frank himself.   

Making it Work:

1. What are 3 stories you know of where “everyone” thought something would happen and it did not?  It does not matter where the story comes from – politics, sports, weather.   Now write them down.  

2. What are three stories you have heard about other people (like family members, Babe Ruth, others?) who were told they had limits but they went on to success anyway.  Write them down, too. 

3. What are three things you have heard about your limits?  

Write down 3 supposed limits – and take a long look at them.  List ways you can prove them wrong through hard work or, like the bees adapting to get things done another way.  

Through the Tool Kit Series together we will have fun proving them wrong.  

Please remember something I tell others at the groups I run:  

“Every great idea, every dream that ever was started with 

someone dreaming it and a thousand other people saying 

‘Are you crazy?’”  

Prove them wrong and Keep On Dreaming.

Workshop 5 Essentials: Comparing yourself to Buddy...

Comparing Yourself to Buddy

You have great gifts and talents inside of you.  For those of you thinking 'hey, George, you don’t KNOW me, how can you be so sure?'  I know because I know “Buddy”.

Compare yourself to your favorite stuffed animal, like my favorite fictional person, Buddy - - a 'person' without ANY real skills or motivation (OK, he knows how to breathe in and out, but that is about it.)

From the days I taught preschool kids, I have loved the lazy bones who is “Buddy”.  Take a moment and picture him, folks.  He never went to school and has only hung around watching television, not developing any work skills, responsibilities, social skills or hobbies.   Now down to business...

Making It Work:

Below write down 25 ways you are different from Buddy.  

For a more advanced version, compare yourself to a 'Buddy' at your job, school or neighborhood  (Hint: you can spot him pretty easily at work, he acts a lot like the potted plants in the lobby).  Need help?

** List ways others have given you responsibility & you have performed well.  

** Write the skills you have gained, from playing guitar to cooking 

to not mixing darks & lights in the laundry.  

** Abilities for dealing with people, from selling cookies at fundraisers 

to giving compassion to others in their time of need.  

**   Ways you have proven being trustworthy (honest), loyal & brave (such as how you meet and beat the challenges you face each day).  

**  List how you have worked independently meeting goals/responsibilities.   

**   How do you respond to the needs of others? 

Remember when you babysat the terrible Tanner triplets 

and you all survived the night?  

Or when you had to learn about new medications 

your grandmother was on so you could better care for her?  

Or that school project you completed with others as a team? 

Have fun letting your mind wander when building your list.  Compare yourself to that stuffed animal or co-worker who never helps train other employees, never works overtime on short notice or working with difficult clients.  Keep in mind, how are you different from “Buddy” and do not worry about being too full of yourself because you are comparing yourself to a blank slate after all. 

Let your imagination roam to areas that may not seem job related, but that show your character and skills. 

Once you have listed the first 25 examples

add 20 more.

These set you apart from your job hunting competition.  Now put letters next to the items on your list:
H: Which ones are related to how you relate well to others?
E: Which relate to how you have energy and drive?
R: Which show your ability to learn things?
O: Which show you have integrity and honesty?

Keep this list handy, it will come up again in the Tool Kit and in preparing for your future.   Onward!

JobHunting Tool Kit Essentials: Lesson 7 - |How to Use Your Cheeseburger Voice!!

Building Up Your Cheeseburger Voice

for your job hunt

Hear the tale of Little Johnny Uzzi in the funny video - 
Click here >>>   Building YOUR Cheeseburger Voice!!!

Using Your Cheeseburger Voice:

One of the great questions you need to answer before hunting is how to talk with a prospective employer while making a first impression. 

Your tone of voice needs to portray assertiveness and self-assurance.  Your voice should not sound pushy or boastful; be polite and respectful, but not too soft-spoken.  In short, be blended like a fine wine (not a whine).  

HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GET IT RIGHT?

First of all, do not buy expensive job hunting books or hire speech coaches hoping that you hit just the right sound when talking to the employer.   It’s already inside of you.

Folks, you have that voice inside of you and here's how to use it:  Quick!  Raise your hand if you have ever ordered a cheeseburger (or soy burger for our vegetarian friends).   THERE!  THAT is the tone of voice you need!!   That commanding yet friendly tone is what you are hungering for.   Relax and picture yourself ready to order and say out loud “I want a cheeseburger.”  WOW! Say it again, slowly: “I want a cheeeeseburrrger.” 

Hey, you really mean it!  You said it straight up, plain and seriously.  Sounds like you aren't leaving this place without that cheeseburger.  Hey, you are not making excuses or apologies for what it is you want to say.  You are not bragging or angry, just direct.

You want to get the right tone in talking with the employer?  Use your cheeseburger voice from saying hello to getting through the interview:

•        it's sensitive without being whiney

•        it gets your point across easily

•        it doesn't frighten or put-off employers

•         it’s a well-known and accepted tone and it gets the burger every time.

The cheeseburger voice helps you in other areas (like “getting past the bull dog”, “ending with a period” and “don't think like a job hunter”).  For now, practice it & enjoy it. With relish.

Making It Work:

Practice this tone of voice. Try saying other things you will be saying with that tone, like “I want to see the employer” or “I have the experience you are looking for.”  Make a list of 15 statements you will want to say to the employer and other statements you want to make to friends/teachers/coaches then practice them with that cheeseburger voice of yours.

Practice your cheeseburger voice with friends, a stuffed animal, anywhere you can hear the sound of your own voice.  More on this later.
