Add You - Cover Letters and Resumes: What's Hot and What's Not
Noise pollution from oil and gas drilling and production is an important issue for many landowners living in close proximity to these developments.Landowners often complain about noise levels produced by natural gas compressors. The noise level varies with the size of the compressor and distance from the compressor; and it changes with shifts in wind direction and intensity. Depending on wind speed and direction, the constant roaring sounds of a gas compressor can be heard three to four miles from an oil drilling site.Noise from oil and gas development comes from a number of sources: truck traffic, drilling and completion activities, well pumps and compressors. For some landowners, noise from oil and gas operations is so loud that it makes them feel as if they are living in an industrial zone. For people who live in rural areas, the arrival of a new, industrial noise source can greatly disturb the natural envi

Successful networking requires the understanding from the get-go that it is about what we can do for each other. Networking requires time, patience, and a commitment to helping others. Honest networking is not just meeting as many people as you can with the intent of citing a "mini-commercial" about what you need. No room for selfishness here; networking requires showing an interest in others that will help build credibility and trust -- establishing a real relationship."Drive-by" networking is often perceived as selling; this is unfortunately the kind of networking that many people experience. The Insights For Women series supports the kind of networking that results in new friendships and mutually beneficial relationships. Networking is NOT the same as canvassing for sales leads. That kind of hard sell introduction does not mutually support everyone.Go into business and social situa
For many years I hired engineer and staff members for both manufacturing and R & D operations. If there is anything that I can say that will help you to gain success in life it is this: Tell the absolute truth. That applies in spades to Resumes and cover letters.
Here are some ideas from my experience:
Never take full credit for the success of any task that you did not accomplish by yourself.
It’s better to say, “Served on a task force to reduce the cost of material handling. The task force succeeded in reducing cost by blah, blah, blah. My role was to see that blah, blah, blah. In this role I blah, blah, blah.”
In this, be as specific as possible. Write as much as you can about the project showing that you have knowledge, technical ability, and the ability to work with others. Then condense it for your resume according to its importance. It could be a paragraph, a page, but not two pages. Leave room for discussion. Remember that discussion is the most important part of your interview (after you put on a good conservative suit or dress and polish your shoes). A good resume will lead to good discussion in your favor.
If you just put in a bullet that says: Reduced shipping cost by 10% you will get the Spanish Inquisition. If you are going to use bullets, list them early in the resume as a summary of what is to follow. Your bullet for this project might be:Served as packaging coordinator on the corporate taskforce to reduce shipping and handling cost. Packaging cost were reduced by 7% resulting in an annual savings in Fiscal Year 2003 of $57,000.00.

Banner Stands are an attractive and convenient way to showcase products and messages to a target audience. They are usually portable and flexible structures and carry attractive graphics.One of the popular types of banner stands is the retractable banner stand. Easy to use, retractable banner stands work like a window blind- simply slide up the graphic over a pole and secure it. Retractable banner stands are also called roll up banners.These banner stands are ideal for trade show displays. Because the printed graphic is stored inside the base, assembling and re-assembling is easy and takes little time. Retractable banner stands take about a minute to set up. All that is required is extending the pole and raising the banner.Retractable banner stands also protect the printed graphic during transportation as it is secured at the base. Retractable stands like roll up stands exhibit displays and pop-up display

Marketing refers to everything a business does to promote itself in the marketplace, and to create or strengthen its reputation in the minds of consumers.Advertising is just one method or strategy in an integrated marketing plan. While it’s important to communicate a consistent message to consumers through the various pieces of your integrated marketing plan, advertising typically is very time sensitive and very specific in the message that’s being delivered. Two clear examples of advertising are an ad in the phone book (promoting a solution to an immediate need or problem) and a newspaper circular for a department store’s weekend sale (also promoting a solution to an immediate need or problem).Here are a few basic questions we would ask before designing an ad:What do you want to accomplish with this ad? Knowing what you want to accomplish will drive the ad’s content and visual image. It will also determ

When I consult with business owners about finding new clients, I often discover it isn't that they don't know how to market that's holding them back, it's that they don't make the time to do it."I just can't find the time," they tell me. They're so busy running their business, they're not growing their business. They work in their business, not on it.I call this the "Lone Ranger Syndrome." The need to do it all yourself. I know all about this syndrome because I used to have it. As a perfectionist, I thought no one would do as good a job as I could for my business. And surely, I couldn't let someone handle private matters like travel arrangements, billing, or checking accounts!Then I realized I could buy back my time. And I didn't have to do it all myself.Six Figure Entrepreneurs in my recent study say they made similar discoveries. "Going it alone was a recipe for disaster," sai

If you're seriously interested in knowing about criminal background checks, you need to think beyond the basics. This informative article takes a closer look at things you need to know about criminal background checks.A criminal background check can give rise to many types of information about criminal/legal issues including arrests and convictions. If an allegation of child abuse is to be found it will be in the report as well. Criminal records information is not available to the general public in every state. Some states have criminal information online that is accessible whereas other states are more particular and require that a person interested in doing a criminal background check on another individual must fill out and submit a long and sometimes very involved, written application. In the case of written consent there is always a fee attached and fees vary greatly from state to state. There are oftenother requi

Remember that you are pursuing your vocation, not your avocations. This is a touchy area and you must be cautious. I feel that being brief is best.
Let me give you an example: My oldest son had finished medical school and was applying to schools offering neurosurgery. On his resume, he put “Eagle Scout.”
Now becoming an Eagle Scout is a boyhood achievement. His department head told him to remove it from his resume now that he had a good medical background.
This was the days before every Tom, Dick, and Harry had a word processor. My son did not want to retype the resume so he let the “Eagle Scout” entry stay. On his first interview, the department head said, “Oh! I’m an Eagle Scout too.”
Do you remember How to Get Along in Business without Even Trying? The protagonist knew that the Corporate President a “Ground Hog” and that he knitted. Later he learned that the Chairman of the Board had been a window washer. He used this kind of information to get ahead. If you know something about the people who are going to interview you, then maybe you can adjust your resume accordingly, but don’t over do it.
How important your nonprofessional activities will help or hurt you is hard to tell. Remember that people have prejudices. My number three son decided to take a chance on his application to several veterinarian schools. The fact that he had been an assistant to the President of a church mission in South America put him in good stead. The schools felt that if he
