Standing out at a Job Fair can make a difference in your job search. Career Fairs are starting to pick up, and Dice is running some nice ones, called Targeted Job Fairs. At a San Jose Area Career Fair in January, 10 companies as showing up, and a major job search company has 82 career fairs scheduled for this year across the States.

How do you stand out at a Job Fair? The contention can be substantial, but you can help yourself stand out from the bunch with advance homework. At AA-Careers, we have a simple step-by-step process to prepare. Planning to go? Here’s how to prepare:

First, investigate the companies that are going and pick your objectives. Use the web to check out the organizations that are there before you go. Go to their internet sites and see if they have their openings listed. Pick a rational number to target, and get ready to spend an hour or more researching each one. It’s hard to do more than 9 in a day, and three to five is a much more reasonable target. For each hiring organization, you want to know: key product lines, recent news, and executive names. Try to see if you know anyone at the target companies. You will end up with with a page or two of research for each company/job.

Second, if there are job postings on the web, read them to see what the company is looking for. Create a mapping of your achievements and skills to the requirements of the job. Make the nomenclature match. If the hiring company calls customers "clients", your resume should do the same thing. The accomplishments should be written in the style of the hiring company.

Third, create a ‘short sales pitch’ for each likely company/job combination. Write down a 90 second ‘thumbnail’ that you can repeat out loud depicting why you are a fantastic prospect for that position. You’ll use this in your resume and when you meet people at the job kiosk.

Fourth, modify your resume for each opportunity. The objective on your resume should exactly match the position you’re targeting. The executive summary should be a written form of your “mini sales pitch” for the job. Then choose the accomplishments and skills that most clearly match the job prerequisites. Especially at a Job Fair, the purpose of your resume is a sales tool for you – to get you on-site job interviews. It should be quick to see that you’re a fit based on your resume.

Fifth, rehearse your ‘mini-sales-pitch’. Collect your research and the resume for each opportunity - bring a couple of copies for each – and put each in a distinctly marked folder. Keep them in a lightweight briefcase or folio.

Finally, dress and prepare as if you’re doing on-site interviews. Dress well and be fittingly groomed. Avoid strong cologne or perfume…use any eau de cologne or scent meagerly, if at all.

Remember to smile, and good hunting!

A resume presents a applicant to the potential employer. It makes the first impression on the future employer on the applicant’s skills, qualification, credentials and work experience. Hence, a quality well-written and well-organised CV can often assist in securing an interview with the future employer.

While writing a resume, the focal point must be on the requirements of the firm and your capableness to fit in the job at offer. The curriculum vitae should be written by combining the applicant’s skill sets and experience with the demands of the firm. It is writing about how you can fit the demands of the specific role within company.

There are many misconceptions about resume writing that requires clearing up. Trying to stand out among the crowd by making the resume eye-catching will not serve the purpose. The resume should not be something unusual, unique or tricky. However, if the facts are organized in a professional way, outlining details relevant to the role’s requirements, it will definitely impress the recruitment agent to call the candidate for a first interview.

The key target of a resume is to introduce the candidate and present the skill sets, qualification, experience and credentials of the individual so that the employment manager is impressed enough to call them for a face-to-face interview. The resume should only contain information, which is relevant to company’s needs. This may include the experience of the applicant, which is good for the job opening. Avoid composing a long story of your previous job experiences.

A good, well-structured resume is the key to opening the right doors to the good opportunity in the job hunting process.

Till recently, lace front wigs weren’t forever my personal obsession. my journalism career was my goal. This applied till the moment my hair wouldn’t be the same during chemotherapy. It became clear that I couldn’t allow for the chance of showing up at work as a shiny-headed powerless Samson (from the Bible) from New Hampshire.

I believed I’d lost my power, without beautiful hair. This was a sign that that it was out of my hands to regain great hair. Oh, how foolish. Previous to receiving my favorite real wig, I found a number of hot fake wigs that got my texture all wrong. My man Reginald told me about a few medical wig stores offering authentic wigs that would look great.

Not wasting any time, I hopped to it and took a good look at their wigs. I happened upon a diverse world of, seamless real hair wigs. Their amazing invisible lace wigs did wonders for me.

Provided the proper hair piece, a proud individual like me can foster fearlessness working towards growing comfortable with her balding. I’ve never been more excited to expose my latest voluminous hair. It meant a lot to me to actually go about as I used to on the streets of Manhattan.

It wouldn’t surprise me if I’m being ridiculous carrying on like this, however hair and fashion are essential to who I am. Is there a deeper meaning to reality than an amazing flow of hair? You know, it wouldn’t matter anyway if it were true. Its true, medical wigs offer an important option for stylish ladies who can relate.

I can’t believe what these blessings have felt like. Only close friends and family know about me and my thinning hair. Nevertheless so it goes, I’m just prepared to be alive. Having hair again improved things for my family and I.

Judgmental people might determine this method superficial. Oh well. How is life so possible? For me, I adore kitchenware (haha!) and my inimitable style.

Embrace Your Wig!

I don’t like to admit it, ’cause its hard to date at my age. Get this, merely hours ago I ate a whole bag of Oreos. As a coping mechanism while being single, surprise! Don’t judge me (j/k!). What does this mean? Actually, that’s the moment when I seriously considered singles events in my area.

Easy solution. I’ll ease back into dating at Great Expectations Denver Dating Service. Probably sounds like a plan. Prolly wouldn’t be an issue, but it is. While eating corn on the cob at George’s graduation at Oak Park yesterday, Mom wanted to know if I have yet to win my soulmate. I don’t know why they even care. I laughed and spit out, “what’s your deal, yo?”

No surprise that Cousin Terry doesn’t know when to quit driving home about my personal matters. I joked to the whole group: “Hey look, my romantic destiny is right over there!”

Do you have any idea what happened next? No one knew what I was talking about, as usual. Shortly after, I called Dave so I could clear my head. What a waste of time! Nothing was helping and I needed some damn help. Billy, who recently moved to Italy suggested that I join Great Expectations. I said, “You know, that’s a good idea.” Should have thought of it myself. I especially enjoy the Denver Singles Events at Great Expectations.

When I started, dating events were kinda foreign to me. I’d never done anything like this before, that my hands started sweating. That faux pas didn’t pull the plug on us from enjoying ourselves. The night was a great way to start at Great Expectations. The greatest most memorable part of it all was the honest, desirable singles.

I started going to these incredibley satisfying Great Expectations Dallas singles events and mixers, I ran into a collection of dynamite friends that must have similar ideas when talking about real-world dating. Don’t know why I ever let so many people get on my back about being single. Surprisingly enough, dating right the Great Expectations way is my pleasure and just what I’ve been looking for.

Here in the U.S., we’re near the end of the NFL, or professional
American football, season. The university-level season just
finished. A national championship at the university level means
pride, home-town glory, and a better chance at a big-money
professional contract. A national title at the professional
level means… pride, home-town glory, and lots of money.

At this level, deep into the playoffs, teams are often
well-matched and games can go down to the last few seconds. When
a team has the ball and a very short time to score, they often
go into what’s called a “hurry-up offense.” The opposing team,
needing to prevent the offense from scoring, goes into a very
conservative “prevent defense.” Commentators groan when they see
a prevent defense. Why? Because, often as not, the only thing
the “prevent defense” prevents is victory.

I have a friend who talks to me about his efforts to meet women.
He uses Internet dating sites, trades emails, occasionally meets
someone in person. He’s told me about some of these encounters.
A few times he’s been terribly excited, having just made what
he’s convinced is some wonderful connection with a new woman.
But sure enough, within a few weeks, she’s called it off.

Funny thing, outside of these new dates, he never has anything
good to say about women. In fact, I think he likes individual
women just fine, but doesn’t like women as a whole very much.
So, in his dating habits, is he really in a sincere courtship
mode? Or does he actually go into his “prevent defense,” acting
as if he wanted a relationship, but in effect preventing exactly
what he’s trying to achieve?

In Lesson Twelve of Prosperity, “Overcoming the Thought of
Lack,” Charles Fillmore writes:

–We mold omnipresent substance with our mind and make from it
all the things that our mind conceives. If we conceive lack and
poverty we mold that. If we visualize with a bountiful eye, we
mold plenty from the ever-present substance.

You’ve heard that we can only hold one thought at a time in our
minds, right? If you warn your child not to spill the milk, what
mental picture does the child form? Spilled milk. If I tell you
not to think of a pink elephant, what immediately comes to mind?
You can’t not think of it, can you?

If that’s true, how can preventing hurt lead us to satisfaction?
How can preventing failure lead us to success? The answer,
surely, is that it can’t. The thought that dominates is the one
we will manifest, that will become our reality.

We often operate out of fear. Rather than leading healthy
lifestyles, we try to avoid getting sick. Rather than actively
working towards prosperity, we focus on avoiding poverty. But
that’s a “prevent defense.” We don’t save our way to prosperity.
We don’t hoard our way to wealth. Abundance can only happen when
we take positive action toward it, with a mindset of gratitude
and acceptance toward what’s coming rather than worry about what
we want to leave behind.

Someone once said that man keeps looking for truth that fits his reality. Oddly, more often than looking for truth, we tend to make up our own truths. Meet Roger & Elaine. Roger is attracted to Elaine and asks her out. She accepts; they have a good time. Later, he asks her out again, and again they enjoy themselves. After a while neither one of them is seeing anyone else.

One evening on the way home, a thought occurs to Elaine. She says, “do you realize that we’ve been seeing each other for exactly six months?”
Silence. I wonder if that bothered him? Maybe he feels confined.

Maybe he thinks I’m trying to push him, Elaine thinks.

Roger, meanwhile, thinks, “six months?”

Elaine’s thoughts continue. But I’m not so sure I want this kind of relationship either. I wish I had more space, time to think about where we are going. Are we just going to keep seeing each other like this? Marriage? Children? Am I ready? Do I even know him?

Roger’s thoughts are a little different: so that means …let’s see…February when we started going out, which was right after I had the car at the dealer’s, which means I’m…Whoa! Way overdue for an oil change!

“He’s upset,” muses Elaine, “It’s on his face.” He wants more from our relationship, more intimacy, more commitment. That’s why he’s so reluctant to say anything about his own feelings. She gasps, mentally. He’s afraid of being rejected!
“And they are going to look at the transmission again, it’s still not shifting right. They better not try to blame it on the cold weather this time. I can’t believe it cost $600. I’ll bet…”

He’s angry — I don’t blame him. I’d be angry too. I feel so guilty for putting him through this, but
I can’t help the way I feel. I’m just not sure if…

“They’ll say it’s only a 90 day warranty. I’ll bet they’ll tell me…”

I’m too idealistic, waiting for a knight on a white horse. I’m sitting beside a perfectly good person. I enjoy being with Roger, I care about him…he cares about me. And now he’s in pain because of my self-centered, schoolgirl romantic…

“Warranty? I’ll tell them what to do with their warranty. They can-”

“Roger,” says Elaine, interupting Roger’s mental tirade.

“Huh?” Says Roger, startled.

“Please don’t torture yourself,” she says, her eyes beginning to mist. “Maybe I should never have…..oh, I feel so awful…”
Roger stays silent, but one eyebrow lifts slightly in puzzlement.

“I’m such a fool,” Elaine sobs, “I mean, I know there’s no knight. I really know that’s silly. There’s no knight and no horse.”

“No horse?” Roger’s eyebrow rises another quarter inch.

“You think I’m a fool, don’t you?”

“No!” Says Roger, relieved.

“I need time,” Elaine says.

“Yes,” he says, after a brief pause.
Elaine, moved, reaches to touch his hand.

“Oh Roger, do you really feel that way about me?”

“Yes indeed,” says Roger hesitantly.

“Thank you, Roger,” She says.

” Thank you,” says Roger.

The next day, Elaine calls her best friend. Together they analyze the whole scenario in a marathon two hour conversation. A few days later, Roger plays racquetball with a mutual friend of their’s. He pauses before serving and asks, “did Elaine ever own a horse?”

The ways that we see ourselves and the world at large is a function of the “stories” that we make up.

We need to challenge our views on things. After doing this, a whole new set of opportunities may emerge. Our stories lurk in the strangest places!

We are living in a fearful world. It is a world haunted by the
menace of terrorism, threatened by insidious warfare. It is a
world plagued by tsunamis, monster hurricanes, earthquakes,
tornadoes, severe drought, famine and raging wildfires. But
these often often take a back seat to fear right in our own
neighborhood streets. What was once a place of commerce,
transportation and community has become a war zone right outside
our front doors. Children are often not safe in their
classrooms, and sadly not even in their own homes.

Haunted by insecurity and upheaval, shadowed by dread, the world
hungers for great leadership, for guidance and direction from
those with cool heads and clear visions. If you are in a
position of leadership, and very few of us are not, don’t wait
for a great leader to emerge. Great leaders are not born - they
become. A great leader is one whose heart is transformed, often
during times of great crisis. You can be the great leader to
arise in your family, community or business setting.

Webster defines crisis as disordered function, a radical change
of status, an unstable or crucial time or state of affairs in
which a decisive change is impending; especially one with the
distinct possibility of a highly undesirable outcome.

With that definition in mind, handling crisis is no longer an
option for any leader. Leaders must be prepared at all times to
handle crisis and its outcomes at home, among friends and in the
workplace. If that’s a daunting possibility, be encouraged. You
are far better prepared to be the instrument of peace in a
critical situation that you realize. Keep these steps in mind.

1. Deal with yourself first. You’re no good to anyone if you’re
out of control. Deal with your own emotions, your immediate
needs. As the airlines have been telling us for years, put the
oxygen mask on yourself first, and then you can be available to
those in need.

2. Tell the truth about the situation. Use your good judgment to
share what information is pertinent. It’s not necessary to share
all the gory details simply because they exist. The need to
share sensational data will separate the leader from the
limelight seeker.

3. Alleviate stress, as much as possible. Provide a controlled
atmosphere in which people can talk through their fears, where
they can share what they have experienced and how they are
feeling about it.

4. Authenticate the experience. Don’t try to talk people out of
their emotions; don’t comment and by all means, don’t judge.
Hear them out; acknowledge them and then be prepared to help
them move forward.

5. Provide an opportunity to move forward to normal operation.
Though true normalcy may not be possible for some time, realize
what will be necessary to return to a degree of normal
functioning and facilitate it.

6. Recognize and deal with the acute reaction. Be prepared to
employ professionals to assess those whose reactions seem to be
severe, situations in which the individuals may be a potential
danger to themselves or to others.

7. Provide resources 24/7. From toiletries for those displaced
by a tornado to a forum for sharing memories about a deceased
comrade, the great leader will see through the eyes of need and
provide whatever will help the victimized begin to feel
empowered once more.

8. Don’t ever promise what you can’t deliver. But don’t hesitate
to promise what you know you can. In times of crisis, people
will hang onto whatever is offered. As a leader, you are bound
to make your offers concrete and be prepared to stand behind
them, at all costs.

9. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Keep all lines of
communication open and flowing. Repeat each communiqué over and
over. Ears in crisis may not hear what’s being said until the
fourth or fifth telling. And remember that it goes two ways.
Listening is equally as important as imparting information. Be
willing to hear the same story until it no longer needs to be
told.

Comfort comes in all shapes and sizes. Great leaders often look
a lot like grandmothers with comfy laps or paramedics who
dispense teddy bears with ambulance rides, or neighbors who make
their homes available at a moment’s notice.

Great leaders are those who establish and insure order. They
guide and teach and protect. They provide tools; they counsel,
arbitrate and shield. They comfort and nurture and encourage.
And when the time is right they will even prod. Whatever the
title they bear, if they are accomplishing these things, they
have transformed hearts and they have become leaders. The need
is great and they are very precious to us in these times. Be
among them. Remember it’s not what you do; it’s what you become!

Note: For more information or to arrange for formal training in
crisis response procedures, contact the International Critical
Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF), The American Association of
Christian Counselors (AACC), the American Red Cross or your
local disaster response coordinator.

There is a bottle of perfume sitting on my dresser that I was given when I was ten years old! As you can tell I have pack rat tendencies! For me that pattern started as a young child. I could never bear to throw things away. There was more to it than not wanting to throw things away. I loved the feeling I had when I would receive something new, and would not want to spoil it by using it unless it was for something special. I would want to save it for a special occasion. A new dress would sit in the closet, until a special event to wear it. Perfume would sit on my dresser, not to be used for everyday, but for a special ’something’. This was a pattern in my life for many years.

Recently though I’ve realized that this is not the best perspective to live life. I don’t want to be like that woman on the Titanic, who when was being lowered into the lifeboat said…”If I’d known this was going to happen I would have had that Chocolate Mousse dessert.” This reflects a view of life that speaks a lie. It is a false belief that if I enjoy something now, I won’t be able to look forward to anything good like that in the future. This belief steals the joy from living in the present, and also lies to me about what the future might hold. Often it takes sad or traumatic situation to cause a person to stop and take stock their life’s perspective and lifestyle. For example, let me tell you how it happened for Ruth.

One day, out of the blue, Ruth got one of those devastating ‘phone calls’ that we all dread receiving. Her sister Jane had passed away unexpectedly. Ruth went over to the home to help her brother in law with the sad task of preparation for the funeral. They were in the bedroom deciding on clothes Jane would wear as she was laid to rest. He pulled out of the drawer some beautiful lingerie wrapped in tissue. Ruth gasped as she saw the astronomical cost on the price tag. “Jane bought this in Paris 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion. I guess this is it.” he said. It was exquisitely, handmade in silk, with a delicate cobweb of lace .As he slammed the drawer shut he said something that changed Ruth’s life for ever. “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion!

After the funeral, Ruth began to evaluate her life from a different perspective. She began to see life as something to be enjoyed not endured. Ruth started to make changes, although small at first, for Ruth they had great significance. She sat in the garden more and didn’t worry about the weeds. She wore expensive perfume on ordinary days, after all co workers and cashiers have noses that function just as well as party goers! She lit that candle that had been sitting as a centre piece on the dining room table collecting dust. She got that cracked window fixed, that she’d been meaning to do for years. She invited those friends round for dinner that she’d seen at the last sixteen weddings, and said we must get together.

Ruth determined that she would live each day as if it was her last. Now every morning when Ruth opens her eyes, she tells herself that this day is special. Every day, every breath, every minute of her life is truly a gift from God.
Your life perspective changes when you start living each day as if it was your last. You start to look at all the things that you want to accomplish in life and actually get started!! You stop watching everyone else doing it. Have the courage to start thinking “It’s my turn now” and do what is in your heart.
Grandma Moses began a painting career at age seventy six. Golda Meir was elected Prime Minister of Israel in 1969 at age seventy one.
I recently met a lady in her eighties who, in the last two years, had been white-water rafting, and hiking in the Himalayas. She was excitedly planning her next trip!
Don’t wait years, or until something traumatic happens to get your attention. Start now to reflect on your life’s perspective and begin living without regrets.

I love this quote by Peter Sage, speaker and entrepreneur :

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “Wow - What a Ride!”

Creativity can be defined as problem identification and idea generation whilst innovation can be defined as idea selection, development and commercialisation.

There are other useful definitions in this field, for example, creativity can be defined as consisting of a number of ideas, a number of diverse ideas and a number of novel ideas.

There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation. Whilst there is no sure fire route to commercial success, these processes improve the probability that good ideas will be generated and selected and that investment in developing and commercialising those ideas will not be wasted.

Collaboration NOT Competition

Creativity and Innovation are often used interchangeably. From the above we can see that the two are separate and distinct. That is perhaps why the place of competition in the field of creativity and innovation is often misquoted:

a) Collaboration beats competition in creativity. What is required to generate good ideas is intellectual cross-pollination as opposed to a restriction of ideas - which competition enhances.

b) Collaboration beats competition in creativity. Competition causes many people to shut down. Everyone suffers from evaluation apprehension and competition enhances that.

c) Collaboration beats competition in creativity. Competition does not engender a culture of psychological safety and freedom, which encourages people to express their cognitive activity.

d) Competition beats collaboration in innovation. Perhaps. It is true that firms compete to successfully commercialise products. However, the present debate between Open Source Software and Microsoft indicates that a free exchange of ideas is better for the economy as a whole and may be better for companies in the long run. IBM has recently allowed public access to many of its patents.

Not that I’ve been alive that long, but in the past fifty or so
years, time seems to have sped up so incredibly that most of us
can no longer keep pace. We fly around the world at dizzying
speeds. Our voices are beamed to the other side of the planet
faster than we can wink. I’ve seen people eat spaghetti as they
walk and burgers as they zoom along the highway. In our spare
time we watch races and jog along busy main roads. Does just
reading this make your heart beat faster and your breathing
become more shallow? It does mine as I write.

Wouldn’t it be blissful to step out of the rat race, to actually
stop time and just ‘be’? Imagine the peace and freedom of
timelessness. An impossible dream? I think not.

Of course, we can’t halt the motions of time and change, nor can
we stop our own aging process, but we do have the power to slow
down and even stop time for a few moments. Yesterday, I walked
past two huge beech trees. Their dark, bare branches were
stretching against the low, grey blanket of winter cloud and an
incredible noise snatched me out of my foggy world of thought.
Within an instant I became aware of an intense din that came
from the trees.

Dozens of birds shrieking, crowing, chirping and singing -
fluttering and hopping from branch to branch. I stopped in my
tracks and gazed at this spectacular orchestra. What a noise
they were making! How vibrant, how alive and full of energy
these black swaying branches were.

I stood and I lost my Self as I became part of the timeless
mystery of life. The houses around me disappeared, and the mud
on my shoes no longer weighed me down, but connected me with the
rest of the planet. All my senses danced the same dance as these
beautiful creatures so high above me.

For those moments, time stopped. I became ageless and One with
something beyond what I can describe in words. I stopped ‘doing’
and was simply ‘being’.

These are the moments that give us the energy to race on, to
speed up when we need to. They create balance and a reservoir of
calm and inner peace that we can draw from when the going gets
rough.

But what if you live in a big city and finding a tree to gaze at
would be more stressful than inspiring? What if, right now, you
aren’t healthy enough to go walking or it’s the middle of the
night and time seems to be dragging you through sleepless hours,
lost in the endless maze of repetitive thoughts?

How can you step from the pressures of modern life into a
timeless space of freedom and inspiring beauty? Where can you
find a haven of timelessness that connects you with all things?

Let me make two simple suggestions. One is to look without -
look around you and find a little piece of beauty right where
you are. An image that inspires you, a story that soothes your
soul, a piece of music that makes your heart overflow with joy
or even an item that holds a happy, innocent memory. Concentrate
your attention and enjoy what this little something has to give
you - sense it, savour it, absorb it. And lose yourself in the
pleasure of simply being for a little while.

The other path to a haven of timelessness is found by going
within. Find a memory or thought that brings a smile to your
face and allow a joyful, happy sensation to spread from your
heart. If you can’t think of one right now, then imagine a
situation in the future when you can feel truly happy and lose
your self in that for a few moments. Immerse yourself, make it
more real and vivid and notice how that changes your state from
frantic doing to simply being.

Whether we walk with an open mind and heart, or whether we
search for joy and the delight of simply living by going within,
it is the ability to step out of the rat race and slow down for
a few moments which allows us to stop time - at least for a few
delightful, energising minutes. I wish you many of them today.
