14 Tips to Construct the Perfect Work Resume - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 14 Tips to Construct the Perfect Work Resume - Introvert Whisperer 14 Tips to Construct the Perfect Work Resume Did you know Google gets around 3 million applications a year but only hires about 7,000 people? With so much competition not just at Google but almost everywhere, even landing an interview somewhere becomes a difficult task. A typical recruiter goes through hundreds of resumes in a single day and skims through each one for only 15-20 seconds. So how does one stand out among his or her peers and surmount these overwhelming odds? Well, the answer is pretty simple. Create a stellar resume that catches the attention of the recruiter. In order to do this, your resume must be well optimized with clear subsections, a clean scannable format, well-optimized bullet points, lots of action words, quantification of achievements and much more. A lot of people tend to use the same conventional format, use the same action words and in fact, list the same set of hobbies that everyone else has added in their job resume. This usually backfires as there’s limited differentiating factor and ultimately leads to rejection. Hence it is no wonder 98% of the applicants, don’t even make the first cut. So, to start with, you can make your resume easily skimmable by implementing the 1-Page Rule. Fitting all the information in one page helps the recruiter go through the entire resume quickly and look for any relevant information. In case you have significant work ex. (8 years+) then a 2-page resume is also viable. Use a standard font like Arial which is legible and easy on the eyes. Be selective with your content. Mention only the most recent and relevant work experience. Same goes with education. Action words are basically keywords that the recruiter is looking for while browsing through resumes. Make sure your resume contains them. And before sending your resume, make sure you have the resume proofread by another person to look for any grammatical or formatting errors. Implementing these few tips will go a long way in improving one’s resume. To make your job easier, we have drafted an infographic which would give you a snapshot view of how to go about a resume which grabs attention. Want more detailed tips? Check out these 23 tips to make a perfect job resume.

Miller Analogies Test (MAT) Review Series Pivot Terms

Miller Analogies Test (MAT) Review Series Pivot Terms GRE/MAT Graduate School Blog In this continuation of ourMAT review video series, we approach working through a standard MAT style Analogy via a technique using the “Pivot Term.” A “Pivot term” is a term that cannot relate to the blank in the analogy; ithelps you correctly determine the relationship between the given terms in the original analogy before evaluating answer choices.It’s imperative to identify thisrelationship before looking to the answer choices, as you will be better able to narrow your focus to pair the blank to one term vs. anything in the list of choices. Key pointers from this video: Identify the pivot term in the analogy Articulate the original analogy and identify the specific relationship between the pair Apply this relationship to help you fill in the blank by eliminating answer choices which don’t fit the relationship The MAT likes to pair one familiar term to one unfamiliar term in the given analogy, which can make it harder to eliminate answer choices. Avoid trap answer choices which offer a simple relationship such as, A is like B C is like D. This video was produced byMyGuruDirector of Online Instructionand expert online MAT tutor Stefan Maisnier. Visit ourYouTube channelfor more MAT analogy videos.

How A Students Mindset Impact Academic Performance

How A Students Mindset Impact Academic Performance Im just not a good reader.  Im not a geometry person.  We hear comments like these from our students all the time at AJ Tutoring, unfortunately.   While these may seem like harmless off-the-cuff remarks, they can reveal quite a bit about a students mindset and attitude towards challenges.Fixed vs. growth mindsets in studentsSome of our tutors and leadership team recently read Carol Dwecks book  Mindset:The New Psychology of Success.  In  Mindset, Dweck, a psychologist, examines the difference between  fixed and growth  mindsets.  According to Dweck, hallmarks of the growth mindset include an openness to learning new subjects, the ability to persevere in the face of difficulty, and the willingness to fail while trying something new.   In contrast, fixed mindset students tend to be afraid of failure, resistant to challenges, and unwilling to put in much effort to master a new concept.   Its possible for students to exhibit a growth mindset in some areas of life, for example athleti cs, while being entrenched in a fixed mindset in academics.Whats wrong with a fixed mindset?A fixed mindset is problematic for both our test prep and academic tutoring students.   Test prep students who have a fixed mindset are often afraid to take risks and try a new approach to a tricky math problem, preferring to try the same old algebra when they could solve the problem more quickly working backwards from the answer choices.   When fixed mindset students get problems wrong, they see the misses as evidence that theyre no good at the SAT and theyll never improve, rather than just a sign that they need to try a new approach or work more carefully.Fixed mindset academic tutoring students often to come us with a closed mind about how successful they can be in a particular class.   Whether they have a history of struggling with math or being behind grade level in reading comprehension, theyre not optimistic about their ability to learn and improve their grades.How can we encourage a g rowth mindset in test prep and academic tutoring students?Praise wisely!   Praise your students process (her effort, strategies, focus, and perseverance) rather than her intelligence or the outcome of a test.Educate your student about the growth mindset.   Tell him that every time he moves out of his comfort zone and tries something difficult, neurons in his brain are forming new, stronger connections.   Just knowing this fact has a measurable impact on students performance![Click image below to view Carol Dwecks TED talk on mindset]

Finding Your Passion and Career Path

Finding Your Passion and Career Path via Pexels.com Pursue Your Curiosity If you’ve been stressing out about what your passion truly is, you may be overthinking things a bit. Sometimes, trying to think about something as subjective as your passion in purely logical terms is not helpful. Instead, consider what you’re curious about. If you’re currently in college, now is the perfect time to experiment with a variety of fields you may be interested in (and don’t worry about not graduating within four years even if you switch majors multiple times, you can still graduate on time. It’s been done). Deena Varshavskaya suggests thinking about what you would be interested in doing if money were not a factor. Adopting this sort of mindset, without worrying about the financial trappings of your future potential career, frees you to figure out what you’re genuinely interested in. It could be a hobby you already enjoy doing in your free time, or it could be something new that you end up exploring through a college class or club that you join. Whatever it is, give yourself the freedom and opportunity to expand your horizons and go after what you’re curious to learn more about. Be Realistic and Take Healthy Risks A super important attitude to have towards your dreams and your career path involves being realistic. On one hand, you don’t want to discourage yourself from pursuing your passion just because you think it’s too difficult or even impossible. On the other hand, it’s necessary to keep your ambitions in check so that you don’t end up chasing a dream without any solid support or alternative options in place. That means reflecting on what’s important to you, weighing your options, and knowing what the consequences are, within reason, for your next steps. What’s more, following your passion doesn’t mean you have to stick to the same dreams and ideas that you’ve had ever since you were five years old or even since you were fifteen or twenty-five. Don’t be afraid to reflect on your core values and what you really want to do in order to take some healthy, informed risks. Of course, that can look different for different people. It’s important that you know what is feasible for you based on your particular goals and your circumstances. Don’t Prioritize Money It’s important to keep your true goals in mind when it comes to pursuing your passion which means that sometimes you need to put aside your money priorities. Instead of focusing on how much you can earn financially from a certain job, focus on what you can gain in terms of experience and skills. That way, you will be able to concentrate on improving yourself without getting bogged down by worries about money. Define Your Goals Once you’ve arrived at a clearer picture of what you’re curious about, you have a starting point from which to set some goals for your career path. After all, knowing your motivations for studying a certain major or going into a specific field is essential, so that you have something driving you to get through college and pursue a career. Be Aware of When Things Aren’t Working Out If you’re already working a job that you don’t enjoy or don’t see a future with, perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate. Even if you don’t know exactly what you want to do instead, it’s important that you take action to figure out your next steps. On the other hand, if you’re working a job in a field that you’re somewhat interested in but aren’t sure where things are going, you may want to stick with it and stay committed for the time being to see where it will lead. Even if you aren’t sure exactly what your purpose is in this job, you may be surprised. When it comes to figuring out how your passion and your future career path align, don’t overthink it. Explore your curiosities and set goals for yourself, and you will be well on your way.
