HALEKULANI CORPORATION APPOINTS DIANE AKO DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS

Halekulani Corporation, which owns and manages the world-renowned Halekulani and Waikiki Parc Hotel in Oahu, Hawaii, has appointed Diane Ako as Director of Public Relations. Ms. Ako, who will assume her new position as of September 1, 2010, will be responsible for directing all corporate, hotel and community media relations, overseeing communications for promotions and special events, as well as for supporting marketing initiatives for Halekulani and Waikiki Parc Hotel properties. The announcement was made today by Peter Shaindlin, Chief Operating Officer of Halekulani Corporation.

Ms. Ako will be an invaluable asset to Halekulani Corporation, said Mr. Shaindlin. Her passion for the community and keen understanding of the local Hawaiian culture provide her with a deep understanding of what the Halekulani and Waikiki Parc Hotel provide in terms of experience and service excellence. Ms. Ako's extensive background as a journalist affords her the distinct skill set necessary to maintain and to further our brand legacy and heritage with true integrity and sincerity.

I am thrilled to be joining one of the finest hotels in the world and learning from the best in the industry, said Ms. Ako. I'm honored to be part of a team known for the highest standards of excellence.

Born and raised in Hawaii, Ms. Ako brings over 15 years of experience, as well as a wealth of knowledge and insight, in broadcast, print and online media. She most recently served as a television anchor and reporter for KHNL-TV, NBC's local Hawaii affiliate, and its sister station KFVE-TV, previously anchoring and reporting in Pennsylvania, New Mexico and California. The quality of Ms. Ako's work has earned her recognition from the Northern California Chapter of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences with three Emmy nominations, and she has also published a number of articles in various media, as well as blogged for Hawaii's largest daily newspaper, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

Ms. Ako holds a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Menlo College, Atherton, California, with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. She also has strong ties to the community, volunteering with the Hawaii Zenyo Jujutsu Kai to promote a quarterly Womens' Assault Prevention Course, as well as serving on the Board of Directors for the Aloha Medical Mission and Friends of the East-West Center.

About Halekulani Corporation

The hotel offers affordable luxury in a chic and contemporary setting, and provides new guest experiences and gracious service, both hospitality hallmarks of the Halekulani brand.

5 Tips for Recession Job Hunting

Here are a few tips that might help you out.
1. Recession job hunting - Lower your expectations. During a recession, beggars can't be choosers. Don't expect to find a great-paying job with full benefits that you'll just adore. If that happens, good for you! But don't plan on it.
2. Recession job hunting - Put the word out. If you're job hunting, share it. You never know when a job might be found because you told someone you were looking, and they told someone, and they told someone and that someone called you.
3. Recession job hunting - Don't pass up one-time or short-term jobs. Just because a job will only last a short time, doesn't mean you shouldn't take it. Don't pass on it with the idea that something better will come along. Those small jobs (such as a mystery shop, a special project, a housecleaning gig, a delivery job, etc.) will pay the bills and get you through the hump.
4. Recession job hunting - Think outside the box. Sure, you may be experienced in a certain type of career, but what else can you do? Extra income can be made by doing deliveries, cleaning houses, babysitting (only if you like kids), working at the mall, etc. Look around - just because a job doesn't fall into your college degree or area of expertise doesn't mean you should ignore it.
5. Recession job hunting - Ask. Don't be afraid to ask a manager or owner if they're hiring. They might not have posted a sign or a classified yet, or they might just be thinking about hiring. What's the worst that could happen? They'll say no.

Last-Minute Interview Preparation

Even if you have less than a day before your job interview, you can outshine the competition with a little interview preparation. The following four tasks will take you about four hours (plus five minutes) to complete, and you'll walk into the interview confident you'll be successful.
Conduct Basic Interview Research
To prepare for an interview, find out as much as you can beforehand. Call the person who scheduled your interview and ask:

• Who will you be talking to? Will you meet the manager you'd work for, or will you just talk to HR? What are the interviewer's expectations?
• What's the dress code? Dress better than suggested. Most times, it's best to wear a professional suit. You'd be amazed how many candidates show up looking like they're going to class, not presenting a professional demeanor.
• Get directions to the office. Plan to leave early. Keep a phone number to call if you get stuck on the bus or in traffic. If you arrive late and stressed, the interview will not go well.
• If you don't have a detailed job description, ask for one.

That's a five-minute phone call.
Learn About the Company Online
Do some fast Web research, which will give you something to talk about in addition to the job description. Go to the employer's Web site, or search the Web for information such as:

• How big is the company in terms of annual sales or employees?
• What does the company say about its products or services?
• What recent news (such as a new product, a press release, an interview with the CEO) can you discuss?
• If the company is public, the boilerplate at the bottom of its press releases will tell you a lot.

Basic research should take you about an hour.
Think of Some Stories
Be ready to answer typical interview questions with a story about yourself. To prepare, write down and memorize three achievement stories. Tell about times you've really felt proud of an achievement at work or school. These stories demonstrate all those hard-to-measure qualities like judgment, initiative, teamwork or leadership. Wherever possible, quantify what you've done, e.g., "increased sales by 20 percent," "cut customer call waiting time in half," "streamlined delivery so that most customers had their job done in two days."
By the way, nonwork achievement stories are good too; if you volunteer for the local food pantry, write down a time you overcame a big challenge or a crisis there.
Achievement stories make you memorable, which is what you want. There's an exercise in Monster Careers: Interviewing called "Mastering the Freestyle Interview," which helps you develop these stories into compelling sales points.
Take the time you need -- at least three hours on this task.
Pick Your Outfit, and Go to Bed Early
Lay out your interview outfit the night before, get a good night's rest, and always get an early start. The last thing you want is to waste all of your interview preparation by arriving flustered and panicked because you couldn't find a parking space.

Advise For Interview

I got to participate in interviews last year (on the questioning end), so I will give as much advice as I can. I will list the questions we chose, but keep in mind, my fellow kindergarten teachers and I came up with these, and they could be completely different from questions you would get elsewhere! ...

1. Our first question was, "Briefly tell us about yourself. What do you enjoy doing." I suggest answering about YOU. You'll get to the teacher questions later. This background information let us get to know the person a bit better. It's up to you how to answer, but I personally would tell about my family and interests... That's what we were expecting.
2. What are some classes you enjoyed during college?
3. What is your philosophy of education?
4. What personal strengths can you bring to our school?
5. What experience do you have working with kindergarten?
6. What do you know about developmentally approprite practices for this age group?
7. What would your classroom look like?
8. What knowledge do you have of Accelerated Schools, Guided Reading, Hands-on math, Brain Based Education, Cooperative Learning. With this question, we didn't become concerned and mark someone off the list if they didn't know about any of those methods. We were just trying to see what kind of background knowledge they had because those were things our school used. We did, however, appreciate a response other than "I don't know," or "Never heard of that." It helped if they explained something they were familiar with that sounded similar to what we were asking. - I sat on in an interview with the 2nd grade teachers, and their questions were much more involved! They had some situational questions like, What would you do if you saw Johnny looking off of Melinda's paper during a test?, etc.
9. What was the most valuable thing you learned in your student teaching?
10. Name your strengths and weaknesses.

Job Interview Tips

Get Advice and Insight from Waggener Edstrom's Staffing Partner

By Thad Peterson, Monster Staff Writer

Like many career advice experts, Steve Fogarty, staffing partner at Waggener Edstrom, says candidates should research a company thoroughly before an interview. And if the company is a private firm, that's not an excuse to skip doing your homework.

Where there's a will, there's a way, and finding a way to gather information on a company "distinguishes the great candidates from the good candidates," says Fogarty.

Consider Fogarty's company, a large independent public relations agency. He says that if someone were trying to find out about Waggener Edstrom, the candidate could take a number of steps. In addition to simply visiting the company's Web site, joining a trade organization like the Public Relations Society of America would almost certainly give someone interested in his company exposure to people who work there.

Fogarty offers a less conventional method as well: "People might be able to find a press release that one of our PR people has written and contact that person and say, ‘I saw your press release. It looks really good. Would you be open to me asking a few questions? I'm doing research on your company.' That's a way to get information."

What else can you do to improve your chances at the interview? Try these tips from Fogarty:

Be Concise

Interviewees rambling on is one of the most common blunders Fogarty sees. "You really have to listen to the question, and answer the question, and answer it concisely," he says. "So many people can't get this basic thing down. You ask them a question, and they go off on a tangent. They might think you want to hear what they're saying, but they didn't answer your question."

Provide Examples

It's one thing to say you can do something; it's another to give examples of things you have done. "Come with a toolbox of examples of the work you've done," advises Fogarty. "You should come and anticipate the questions a recruiter's going to ask based on the requirement of the role. Think of recent strong strategic examples of work you've done, then when the question is asked, answer with specifics, not in generalities. You should say, ‘Yes, I've done that before. Here's an example of a time I did that…,' and then come back and ask the recruiter, ‘Did that answer your question?'"

Be Honest

Somehow, candidates get the impression that a good technique is to dance around difficult interview questions. "If you don't have a skill, just state it. Don't try to cover it up by talking and giving examples that aren't relevant. You're much better off saying you don't have that skill but perhaps you do have some related skills, and you're happy to tell them about that if they like."

Keep Your Guard Up

According to Fogarty, you can split recruiters into two schools. There are those who are very straight-laced and serious, and candidates had better take the process seriously as well when dealing with them.

"Then you have recruiters like me," he says, chuckling. "I'm going to be that candidate's best friend when they call me. My technique is to put them at ease, because I want them to tell me everything, and a lot of candidates mess up in this area. They start to think, ‘Oh, this guy is cool. I can tell him anything.' And then they cross the line." And that can take a candidate out of contention. Remember: Always maintain your professionalism.

Ask Great Questions

Another of Fogarty's interview tips is to come ready with good questions. He says nothing impresses him more than a really good question that not only shows you've researched the company in general, but also the specific job you're hoping to land in particular. "That makes me go, ‘Wow, this person has really done their homework. They not only know the company, but they know the role.'"

Do Your Homework Before the Big Interview

Once upon a time, a job seeker landed an interview, skimmed the prospective employer's annual report, wowed the hiring manager with a few company facts and strolled into his dream job.
That late-'90s fairy tale rarely comes true these days. With employers in more control of the labor market, candidates feel compelled to give it their all in their interview preparation. And that includes mounting a broad, deep search for relevant information about the position, the company, the industry and even the interviewer.
Luckily for you, diverse resources, many of them free or cheap and available on the Internet, enable you to achieve that competitive edge if you're willing to put your nose to the grindstone -- or computer monitor.
Employers' Web Sites
Your prospective employer's corporate Web site is the best place to see the company as it wants to be seen. Do check out that annual report, but also look for a "press room" or "company news" page that links to recent news releases. As you mull all this information, consider how the open position, as detailed in the job posting, relates to the company's mission.
But don't stop there. Use the company site's search facility to query the names of the hiring manager and any others on your interview dance card. You may retrieve bio pages or press releases that give you insight into their most visible activities at the company. "Learning about the interviewer is probably the most valuable thing you can do," says Ron Fry, author of 101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions.
Research Employers
Next, get some vital statistics and independent perspectives on your prospective employer. Hoover's Online, for one, provides capsule descriptions, financial data and a list of competitors for thousands of large corporations.
Your 401k or mutual fund account with a major broker likely provides more detailed research on publicly traded companies and industries, free of charge. "You may be able to go to competitors for the prospective employer's financials," says Joyce Lain Kennedy, Los Angeles Times career columnist and author of Job Interviews for Dummies.
News Sources
Now broaden your perspective and see what general-interest and business publications and Web sites are writing about the employer and its industry. You can find a wide range of media outlets at NewsLink, notes Kennedy. Search national publications for news on major corporations; use hometown newspapers to learn about small businesses and how big businesses interact with their local communities. Refdesk and bizjournals.com also offer gateways to journalism on companies and industries.
Trade Journals
Taking cues from your research so far, drill down into your target company and its place in the industry by looking at trade journals and other specialized publications. "Get a few months of the relevant trade journal," advises Fry. "You're going to find out about new products and what the trade is saying about the company."
You may find hard copies of trade journals at university or public libraries. Some journals are available for free or by subscription through their own Web sites; the full text of thousands more is available through periodical databases like ProQuest and InfoTrac. You may even be able to access InfoTrac for free via the Web, using just the membership number on your public library card. Contact your local library for details.
Industry Directories
By now, you've probably got some very specific questions regarding the employer and your potential role there. Go directly to the grapevine by making contact with other workers at your target company or elsewhere in the industry. "If you belong to a professional organization, go to its directory," says Marilyn Pincus, author of Interview Strategies that Lead to Job Offers. If you don't belong, consider joining; check out the American Society of Association Executives' Gateway to Associations Directory.
Of course, you can also use networking services to get in touch with people inside the company.
Google
Finally, if you hope to have a company ogling you, try Googling them first. You just might come up with a nugget you would have missed otherwise.
While you're at it, Google yourself to make sure you and the interviewer are on the same page. Because if he's savvy, he's doing unto you as you've just done unto him and his company.

Tips To Get a Job

I will give to you 4 tips to get a job.. Here they are :

1. Hire a cold caller. Cold calling to get a job really works -- if you're good at it. Your ability to sell yourself on the phone shows exceptional sales skills, self-confidence, drive, and commitment. But most cold calls are executed poorly. Debra Feldman is a professional cold caller at Job Whiz; you hire her to get you a job, and she can do it. By cold calling CEOs. What's the catch? She costs thousands of dollars. So consider teaching yourself the skill well enough to talk your way into a job where you could afford Feldman.
2. Use proactive recommendations. Instead of waiting for a hiring manager to ask for references, have your reference call immediately. This works well if you have a heavyweight reference, like a well-known CEO or someone who knows the hiring manager. But it also works well if you have little professional experience.
"The good employers have relationships with professors and they forward students who seem exceptional," says Joel Spolsky, chief executive of Fog Creek Software. Also tap your coaches. They tend to know students well after meeting daily for practice over the course of a few years. "A coach has extended knowledge of the students' personalities," says Tom Carmean, head lacrosse coach at Amherst College, who has given many references to employers.
3. Stay organized with job hunt software. How many times have you put the wrong name on a cover letter? Forgotten where you applied? Forgotten what the job was? You need to be organized right off the bat -- maintain an Excel spreadsheet with all your contacts. For a serious job hunter who recognizes that a hunt never ends, you could try JibberJobber, which not only helps you organize your information, but can bug you about the things you should be doing but might not be, such as following up with a phone call.
4. Turn a nonjob into a job. Many companies use temp agencies as recruiting firms. Instead of going through the interview process, companies sift through temp workers until they find one they like. So when you find yourself temping at a company you like, give a star performance. Even if the work doesn't require much skill, personality matters a lot in this sort of situation, so be fun and charming. And don't be shy about asking for full-time work. Note that this tactic will work for an internship, as well. Matt Himler, a student at Amherst College, started out looking for an internship, and shifted his focus when he saw an actual job was a possibility. He now gets paid to blog for AOL Money & Finance.

JOBS SEARCH TIPS

Find a Job After Being Fired
Termination of employment is not an easy situation. Can you still land in a good job after being fired from work? How do you move on? These might be really tough questions to answer for you. Applicants oftentimes find it more difficult to look for a job when they were fired from their work. Most of them felt sorry for themselves. Some tried to lock themselves in their house and refuses to go out. There was even one couple in the news that committed suicide and killed their children because they were laid off from work. Some people tend to panic once they are in this type of a situation. While others remained calm. But what can we do to cope with this problem?
We need to understand first the difference between being laid-off and fired from work. Lay-off is the term used by the company when they need to reduce their workforce for some legal reasons in order for the business to survive. In some countries, this is also known as retrenchment. When a company is going to lay-off an employee, they will give you a written prior notice that is usually 60 days in the U.S. employment laws depending on your case. Other countries allow a 30 days written prior notice. The employee is also entitled to a severance pay depending on the length of service. Cases of lay-off are much easier to handle when you are looking for a new job. Prospective employers may already understand the situation.
On the otherhand, it may be more difficult to handle when you are being fired from work. It is also known as termination of employment at the discretion of the employer. Some reasons for firing an employee are non-performance of the job, insubordination, mishandling of funds, delinquent absenteeism, and a lot more. Perhaps, we can discuss the termination policy required by law in our future articles.
If such situation happens to you, here are some things that you can do to help you in your job search after being fired from work.
1. MANAGE YOUR EMOTIONS
A person needs to be able to control his/ her emotions before he/ she can move on. You might possibly undergo four stages after being fired from work.

1. Denial Stage - A person being fired by his/ her employer tends to deny the situation. He/ she refused to accept any fault at his/ her end.
2. Anger Stage - This is the stage that the employee felt some resentment towards his/ her former employer. The feeling of rage and revenge tends to rev up to the mind of the person. Not unless this is controlled, the person will find it hard to look for another job.
3. Depression Stage – This is the stage when the person already feels hopeless about his/ her case. He/ she felt that nothing can be done anymore. The level of self-confidence already went down. The person needs to open up to his/ her partner or family for support. He/ she needs to express his/ her feelings to them in order to help him/ her manage his/ her emotions.
4. Acceptance Stage – This is the stage that the person enables himself to evaluate the situation. He/ she now acknowledges what had happened and come to a realization that it is not yet the end of the world for him/ her. He/ she now learns to recognize that there is still hope. . . a better future still lies ahead of him/ her.

2. BE HUMBLE AND PRAY FOR GUIDANCE
It is not an easy situation when you are being terminated from work. You put too much pressure on yourself. It adds up to all the stress that you are experiencing in life. However, you need to pray for God’s guidance. In Luke 11:9 says, “Ask and it shall be given unto you.” It is always good to be humble and accept whatever mistakes you have committed at work. Do ask for forgiveness, too. Indeed, humility goes a long way. As the saying goes, “God uses our difficulties to develop our character.” Being fired from work, whether it is a rightful or wrongful termination, happens for a reason. You have to learn from your experience.
I have a friend who was terminated from work early this year because of some differences with her boss. She has been working with the company for two years. She made amendments with her employer. Actually, she was stressed out considering that the unemployment rate was rising. She was already 55 years old at that time. She feared that she won’t be accepted anymore because of her age. She was worried about her bills to pay. But she prayed and put her trust in God. She never lost hope. She worked hard in looking for another job. She was able to find a new employer after two months. She now works in one of the largest banks. Her present position fits her better than her last company based on her experience. She is now being recognized as the best employee of their branch. She is happy and thankful, too. The things that happened to her made her a better and stronger person. Indeed, prayer works for good.
3. DO NOT BAD MOUTH YOUR FORMER EMPLOYER
Usually, the first reaction of the employee being fired from work is to tell everybody about his/ her case. This is the most common mistake a former employee can do because it can affect him/ her. It would make it more difficult to look for another work.
Stop telling everybody you meet that you were terminated from work. Your immediate family is already enough to help and give you moral support. Just remember that your prospective employer will also do a background check. It would not be wise if they find it out through rumors. Your prospective employer can give you the benefit of the doubt even if you were terminated from work if you didn’t say anything negative about your previous company. Bad mouthing your previous company can implicate fear to your prospective employer. It is not good for your job search.
4. REGAIN YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE
Being fired from work can affect the self-confidence of a person. You begin to feel helpless and sometimes worthless. How you see yourself before starts to change. You become moody, irritable and impatient. There are those who shy away from people. However, you should be able to regain your self-confidence and self-esteem in order to help you in your job search. Learn to differentiate self-confidence from bragging. Do not brag.
How can you regain your confidence? Try to make a list of the things that you can do and cannot do. Focus more on those things that you can do and within your control. Use these to your advantage when you apply for work. Do not highlight those that are uncontrollable. You will just feel disappointed. Any prospective employer would like to hire somebody who has confidence in himself. Somebody who knows what he/ she can do for their company. They are more interested on somebody who knows his/ her strengths and weaknesses.
Just remember that it is not the times that we falter and fall that matters, but it is the times that we stand from each fall.
5. UPDATE YOUR RESUME
A resume is also known as a bio-data, which is a short term for biography data. Every year you have to update your resume because of some possible changes in your work experiences, accomplishments or educational attainment. This is an important thing that you should do before you begin to apply for work. This is the information that your prospective employer will laid their eyes on before you can be scheduled for an interview. Be sure that this is simple, concise and complete. Try to search for new resume format. Do not be contented with your traditional style of writing. Ensure that you do not express any emotions through your resume. Do not include your story of termination from work. This should be more informative and factual about your qualifications.
6. START LEARNING YOUR WAY IN JOB SEARCHING
If you haven’t applied for work for a long time, then start learning your way in job searching. You may check out my articles on “Finding the Right Job” for a detailed guidelines. Tell your family and friends that you are actively looking for work. You don’t need to tell them about your termination case. Just asks them for some referrals. You may also read my hubs on “How to Handle a Job Interview” and “Job Rejection: Reasons from an HR Point of View” for additional insights. You will get busy and pre-occupied once you start your job search. Stay focus and do not dwindle on your bad experience.
7. BE SINCERE IN YOUR JOB SEARCH
You should always be truthful when you do your job search. We have one former employee who was terminated from work because of dishonesty and mishandling of funds. He applied for another company but he did not told them about his case. He got accepted. However, their company had an event and one of our Executive Vice-President saw him. Our EVP, without any malicious intent, mentioned to the owner that the male staff was our former employee who was terminated from work. They eventually discussed his case. That male staff was again fired from work due to dishonesty in his application. Is this legal? Yes, it is. You may check it in the application form that you signed and submitted to your prospective employers.
So, how should you respond when you are being asked why you left your previous work? You can tell your reason briefly. Be calm and objective about your case. Do not blame anybody for what happened to you. You may end your explanation on a positive statement by emphasizing more on your main accomplishments and what the experience has taught you. For instance, you may say that “I was terminated from work due to mishandling of funds. But I was previously awarded as the Best Teller for 2^nd Quarter of 2008. I learned much from this experience. I have to be extra careful in handling funds to avoid shortages and overages.”
These things are tips to make it easier for you to look for another job. However, you still have to work hard and do better in your job search. You will definitely land in a good job if you have that determination and commitment within you. Tell yourself that "I will get hired and I am going to start working to achieve it.” Go out your way now and be the first one to fill that open position!

How To Find Job

One of the most important rules on finding a job is to first have marketable skills or a willingness to learn a new trade. Most people acquire their work skills through specialized training or enrollment in higher education institutions. It's important to have some proof of self-discipline, even if your immediate goal is a 'survival job' strictly for the income. Employers want to see evidence that a potential employee can see a task all the way through- even graduating with a General Education Degree demonstrates a certain level of responsibility. No matter what field you want to enter, the first step to finding a job is getting the proper training or education.

Finding a job can be as easy as filling out an application at a local retail store or as complicated as proving yourself through grueling interviews on the other side of the country. There is no guaranteed method of gaining employment, no matter what some for-profit job search agencies may claim. Those actively looking for work need to use as many methods and sources as it takes to get the results they want. Job searching is an active process, so expect to spend as much time looking for work as you would expect to put into the job itself.

Here are some tips for finding a good job:
1. Career placement services. Almost every school or training facility offers some form of job placement assistance. Visiting this office can yield job leads you would most likely never discover on your own. Once local employers realize the quality of workers coming out of the training center or school, they will target their job openings accordingly. Instead of placing expensive ads in newspapers or sorting through thousands of applications, companies often reach out directly to schools or training centers.
In addition, offices often act as a clearinghouse for part-time jobs or unpaid internships. It may pay to apply for an entry-level job while in training in order to gain valuable real world experience in that field.
2. Public bulletin boards. Instead of placing ads in local newspapers, some small businesses or services will put up flyers on public bulletin boards. Look in student centers, grocery stores, laundromats, coffee houses and similar public gathering places for these job openings. This is especially useful for musicians or other artists who have difficulty finding jobs through conventional methods.
3. Networking. One of the best ways to find a job is to declare your availability loudly and often. By talking to relatives or church members or instructors, you might learn of employers looking for your particular skills. If nothing else, you may find decent work to support yourself while continuing the career search. Remaining silent about your job needs will rarely lead to job offers. You need to make your skills and intentions clear to those connections who may know the right people. The customer in the next barber's chair might be the human resources director of a local company or the owner of a small business. A fellow church member may also own a business or know others who do.
4. Temporary agencies. One trend in the manufacturing sector is to hire new workers through temporary service contractors. At one point in history, temporary workers were rarely hired full-time because of stiff buy-out policies. But the current thinking is that temporary workers are more akin to interns- they can be trained for permanent assignments while saving the company money in wages and benefits. Working for a temporary agency may not pay as well as a permanent hire, but it's often the only way to get your foot in the door and prove your merit to local employers.
5. Job fairs. Every year local and national companies come together for conventions and job fairs. These job fairs can connect company representatives with potential employees without the usual logistical problems. A good job fair is like one-stop shopping for the diligent job seeker. Gather all of the information you can during the convention, and don't be afraid to ask serious questions whenever you meet a company representative. Find out the process you'll need to follow in order to line up a good interview later.
6. State employment agencies. Look in the local yellow pages for the nearest state-sponsored employment center. These may operate under the same roof as unemployment compensation offices, so make sure you're going to the right building. After filling out an extensive application containing all of your work history, skills and education, you may be interviewed by a job coordinator. Depending on your qualifications, a job may be available within a week. Even if the coordinator doesn't have an immediate job opening to share, you can often look up new jobs on a self-serve computer system.
7. Professional job placement services. This may be an expensive route to take for a new graduate, but a professional employment service may have targeted leads on jobs you'd never discover on your own. Some ask for a fee to keep your name on file, while others collect a portion of your salary until the debt has been settled. These placement services may also offer to create resumes or hold mock interviews in order to hone your skills.

8. In-store employment kiosks. Many supersized retail stores now offer electronic applications at kiosks located near the customer service area. Others may have online connections which lead directly to an application page. It may also pay to research different company websites for contact information.

GOOD PLACE TO FIND A JOB

The best places to look for jobs are often overlooked by most job hunters. Find out were you should be looking for your next job

The best places to look for a new job are not in the classifieds of your local paper or even the major Internet job boards. Those jobs are so competitive that it is virtually impossible to get an interview, and they are not always the most lucrative offers in your sector. Instead, try these not so commonly thought of places to get started on your new career.

1. Network with everyone. - A friend of a friend of a friend can give you the inside track on a position not yet advertised, so keep those lines of communication open by telling all your friends and family about your job search. Most of them will share your information with their friends and family, and greatly expand the number of people in your network.

2. Check individual company websites. - Many companies are avoiding the cost of classified or job board ads and simply posting job openings on their own websites. Make a habit of regularly checking company websites that you would like to work for, and you may be first in line for a job interview.

3. Read your trade magazines. - There are trade magazines for almost every type of job. Many companies make it a practice to advertise open job positions to a qualified audience, rather than open the position to the public.
4. Attend professional conventions. - Conventions are prime spots to network and pursue possible job leads. Depending on the type of convention, you can ask attendees and business representatives if they know of an opening in their company. Be sure to get their name and number to follow-up on any tips. Also, pass out your business card with current contact information in case they hear of anything in the future.
5. Join a professional organization. - Even if you are not working in the profession, join the professional organization for your industry anyway. Many times such organizations have online forums where members post new job leads. They may also have a newsletter that includes classifieds by companies or organizations.

TIPS FOR WRITING A RESUME AFTER LEAVING MILITARY

Many people who leave the military enter civilian life with very marketable skills. However, after a little job-hunting, they find themselves being pigeon-holed into law enforcement jobs, or other professions stereotyped as “for the military.”

The reason that recently discharged individuals have a hard time getting a job they want comes down to how they market themselves on paper. As with so many other things, how you present yourself on your resume

is crucial to getting the job. Creating a resume with mostly military experience should be crafted in such a way as to let a potential employer know that you were more than just “in the military.”

Organization

One of the first things that should be done to organize the resume is to break down every individual position you held while in the military. For instance, you may have been a computer operate for three years at an overseas base. If so, you should make a list of the duties you performed in that role, as well as the skills that you acquired. You should also have the exact dates that you held the position.

Next, it is important to make an overall list of skills that you acquired from your general military experience. You probably gained invaluable leadership experience. You may have also learned another language from your travels. All of this should be noted so that you will have it ready when you begin to write the resume.

It is important to remember that you may not think that some of these things are that important in the civilian world, but they can be very important. As with our example of learning a foreign language: this is a much sought after skill by many companies because of our multinational economic climate. Letting a potential employer know that you have skills with more than one language may quite possibly send your resume to the top of the pile.

Finally, you should also have a list of awards or other accomplishments that you received while in the military. If you were responsible for overhauling a department or unit, then make a note of that. Those accomplishments that were measured in terms of numbers—such as dollars & cents or people—are something that potential employers look at.

Writing the Resume

When you have all of your information together, then it is time to actually write the resume. Many resumes today begin with a short biographical paragraph followed by a paragraph about the position you are seeking. This section of the resume serves to humanize you to prospective employers. Make sure you do not come off as being arrogant. Simply state where you are coming from and where you would like to go.

Next comes the employment and experience section. If the military is your most recent employment, then list that as a header in the employment section of your resume along with your rank, when you entered the service, and when you left the service.

Then, you should begin with the most recent position you held in the military. List the duties of that position, along with your accomplishments. Also list the beginning and end dates of the job. After that, list the next most recent assignment, along with duties, accomplishments, etc.

In a separate section of your resume, you should list the skills that you have, such as computer skills, language skills, etc. Try to be specific without appearing to exaggerate your abilities or lie about what you know. If you have computer networking skills, list exactly what operating systems and equipment you have worked with. And of course, you should also list your education. List where you went to college—if you did—along with your major, minor, and GPA.

One Last Step

Once you have the resume written, make sure that you read over it several times to check for misspelled words and grammatical errors. In addition, it is a good idea to have someone else read it. That person can tell you how the resume appears and sounds to someone else. They might be able to suggest where slight changes should be made.

Finally, send out the resume knowing that you are ready to show the world that you served your country proudly and that you gained a wealth of knowledge and experience from your service!
