What is a Skill Based Resume?

What is a Skill Based Resume?Skill-based resumes are very different from traditional resumes. What is traditional is normally the time spent in education, work experience and certificates or degrees you may have had. Skill-based resumes are a completely different concept.In today's world, people generally have no time to waste. Work moves too fast and there is just not enough time to attend all the schools and certifications needed for any career. Even if a person were able to do all this work it would be very expensive. It would cost a great deal of money to educate a person at all the levels. This is where skill-based resumes can come in to play.Skill-based resumes focus on those areas where a person has an experience which you know that they will need when you interview them. Instead of wasting time trying to find the 'right' college for an employee, for example, what you do is create a resume that focuses on specific areas. Instead of going into detail about each specific school, college or university, it focuses on an entire job.For example, you could have several past employers give you a list of the most basic information about your background and salary history. You could then use this information to design a resume focused solely on your employment with one company. You could include your salary history and the companies you worked for. This is considered an example of a skill-based resume.Skills also are used in resumes that show past awards. Here, you would not need the schooling for education, experience or certificates. Instead, the employer will simply look at the awards that you have won.If you are looking for a resume to be proud of, then your personal qualities should be showcased on your resume. If you had a bad driving record, you would want to leave this information out on your resume. Your positive accomplishments would show that you are responsible and good with money.Another important area of a resume to be included is hobbies. A person c an list a number of hobbies, but they need to be listed in order. If you listed writing, you would need to make sure that your list of hobbies was written in alphabetical order. This would be very hard to do if you wrote your hobbies down randomly.Carefully chosen information is an important part of a resume. Listing all of your jobs, experience and awards are usually a good idea. However, adding skills, hobbies and awards to a resume is not a bad idea.

Why are there fewer women in STEM jobs - Debut

Why are there fewer women in STEM jobs - Debut This post was written by an external contributor. Lucy Skoulding delves into the subject of women and STEM careers.   Despite making up approximately 50% of the workforce, only 14.4% of those in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) occupations are women. These jobs are overwhelmingly male-dominated, more so than many other career types. From gender stereotypes portrayed in television programmes to the theory of ‘social belongingness (feeling like you belong more in certain groups than others) many reasons contribute to girls being less likely to pursue STEM subjects to a high level than boys. Just like boys are less likely to choose the pursuit of Health care, Elementary Education, and the Domestic spheres (HEED) than girls. There is currently a global push to encourage more girls to choose STEM subjects in education and therefore go into STEM careers, but why is this important and how do we influence this choice? Why is this a problem? Some people may wonder why bringing more women into STEM is necessary? What do women bring to these sectors that men dont? According to a recent article in The Guardian, increasing the number of women in these types of jobs would increase the UK’s labour value by at least £2bn. In addition, many innovations have been designed with use of men in mind first. These include seat belts, air conditioning, medicines and more. Having more women in STEM is not just beneficial for the economy and equality. If more women were to work in scientific and medical research jobs, women’s health would become more of a priority. We would see more products and treatments that support and aid females. Not only this, but to settle for such a low percentage of women working in STEM jobs is to accept that the different perspectives, creativity, and ideas women could bring to these roles are not valuable. Studies conducted by big corporates such as Goldman Sachs and Bank of America have proved that businesses employing more women consistently do better than their competitors. Why are women less likely to choose STEM subjects? As mentioned, there are a number of gender and subject stereotypes that influence both girls and boys when it comes to choosing subjects to study in further and higher education. According to a 2017 study conducted by psychologists at Glasgow, Irvine, and Missouri Universities, “girls [are] more anxious about Mathematics in 80% of the countries surveyed”. Almost half a million 15-year-olds across 68 countries partook in the survey. This anxiety isn’t because of differences in ability, since previous research found girls perform equally well in Maths as boys. However, there seems to be an ingrained perception among girls that they are worse. Another stereotype is the idea that STEM subjects are ‘nerdy’ and that this is a negative thing. Shows like The Big Bang Theory star mainly men studying/working in STEM subjects and portray them as socially awkward. It’s therefore understandable why women are put off from studying or working in these subjects. Should we change this? This is a difficult issue to contend with. Even if introducing more women into STEM jobs is desirable for the economy, it still comes down to choice. A study written about in The Atlantic compared different countries around the world, looking at the percentage of women in STEM occupations there. It found that in countries where less gender equality exists, more women are likely to pursue STEM careers. For example, only 18% of Computer Science college degrees are awarded to women in the US. Conversely, in Algeria 41% of these degrees go to women. It seems that women living in countries with less gender equality choose jobs that are more likely to give them financial stability. Meanwhile, women with more security socially opt for jobs that allow them to follow their passions. How do we change the perception? I went to a round table which argued we need to change the stereotypical perception of STEM subjects. They are mainly seen as difficult, boring and most-importantly male. We need to showcase the freedom and opportunities that are available for females in these sectors. As well as altering perceptions in popular culture, we should start promoting more female role models in STEM careers. Whether this is a famous female scientist/technology expert appearing on television, or simply a female STEM professional talking in schools. Public appearances could make all the difference. Its also up to businesses to bust myths about working in these industries. STEM jobs are typically portrayed as having very long hours and very competitive environments. Whilst some careers demand longer working hours than others, plenty of STEM subjects support a good work-life balance too. Having a wide diversity of individuals work in any sector can only be a good thing. Having a multitude of experiences, ideas, and skills is what makes businesses innovative and therefore successful. Like anything, changing ingrained perceptions takes a long time. But if influencers, companies, educational institutions and individuals get on board, the stereotype of studying and working in STEM subjects will be altered.

The best advice for a happy life and happy career, positive thinking How to Build Confidence for a Happy Life and CareerIf it’s meant to be, it’s up to me.This is one of the best quotes I have ever heard. Some attribute it to Tom Dreeson, others attribute it to William H Johnsen, and regardless of who said it first, it certainly delivers a great truth.This is the year for  powerful positive thinking.   Let’s make promises to ourselves that we will keep and create the life and career that makes us happy.How do we do that?   Well, let’s consider the way we view ourselves, what we are capable of and what we do to achieve what we really want in our lives and careers. We can do this together and I hope you’ll keep me as accountable as I will keep you!Let’s focus on this:Attitude Check:Acknowledge our attitude towards any situation. If something bothers us, step back and take a  positive, can-fix-it, self-reliant attitude  towards what’s happening. Remember:  Choices + Behaviours + Actions = Accountability.   “If it is to be, it’s up to me ” It’s too easy to blame others for how our life is. I’m sure you’ve blamed the traffic for arriving late somewhere when if you had only been organised enough to leave earlier you could have been on time.Acknowledge that we do have a level of control over our own lives. If we stop blaming others for the woes of the world and shift our thinking to ‘What can I do to make a difference?’ our lives will change for the better.Focus on what’s worth focusing on:If we aren’t happy about something, there’s no point trying to change someone else (our partner, our boss, our colleague, our friend) â€" focus on changing what needs to be changed, improved or adjusted about ourselves so that we can lead by example. “Be the change you wish to see in the world” â€" I’m quoting Gandhi with this one!   This meme is one of my favourites with another quote, this time by Mother Teresa, “Do not wait for leaders. Do it alone, person to person.”  Speak kindly to ourselves:We becom e what we tell ourselves over and over again.   It becomes programmed into our psyche.

5 Things College Students Must Do To Stay Ahead of the Competition - Work It Daily

5 Things College Students Must Do To Stay Ahead of the Competition - Work It Daily College students face a number of challenges as they near graduation. Exams, relationships, and debt may at times seem overwhelming. Then there’s the uncertainty of career for many. And, although the following tips are going to be framed primarily for individuals facing uncertain futures, they are solid tips to enhance your career success if you’re locked into a position after graduation. Related: 6 Strategies To Kickstart Your Career As A College Sophomore 1. Career Success Is A Skill For many the career management part of college is viewed as a task. It becomes time to sign up for interviews, prepare a resume and a LinkedIn profile, and continue (or start) actively networking. But just like you’ve learned in many classes, there are career success “skills.” If your school offers classes on creating your resume and interviewing preparation, take them. Do not assume you know how to do these things well. If you take a class for resume preparation, you’ll leap ahead of a large number of your colleagues who don’t think learning how matters. 2. Awareness Of Trends According to leading futurists, the pace of change is accelerating. This may be hard to believe for some, but in many areas, technology is the obvious one, rate of change is no longer a simple growth pattern. Technological growth is happening at an exponential rate in every part of our world, from energy to medicine, from healthcare to transportation. One clear example: seven years ago an electric car could travel less than 50 miles before needing a charge; now it’s possible to go 300 miles. I’ve written about the importance of monitoring career trends. But here that advice extends to the specific of your major or the industry you want to work in. If you’re a human resource major, are you monitoring the rapidly changing legislative and regulatory environment that impacts every aspect of your potential job? If you’re in medicine, are watching for emerging trends in critical areas like cancer and Alzheimer’s â€" where new treatments are appearing regularly? If you want to stay ahead of your competition, stay ahead of the trends. 3. Face Realities There’s a very old paradigm that still survives in the minds of many job seekers â€" and college students are not immune. You apply for a position, online or by sending in a resume, and you check every day for that welcoming response. You wonder why there’s no response, maybe nothing more than an automated acknowledge. There are lots of “reality checks” that you should pay attention to. But here’s a really big one: According to one of the latest and largest studies, 13 million people applied for 112,000 job postings â€" so 112,000 people were hired. Over 85% of those hired came from direct recruiting by the company or referrals. That leaves only 15% of the individuals hired coming from direct applications by job seekers. If you want a heads up on your competition, understand this and make building and working a network your top priority. And remember, LinkedIn is a very valuable tool for networking! 4. Evaluate Choices As humans, we make hundreds of small decisions every day. Many of them are based on habit â€" it’s easy to choose our favorite drink at a restaurant or bar. And we also make many other decisions based on emotions â€" what we feel like having, what we like, and so on. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a person at a restaurant taking notes on nutrition facts, price, and yes, personal favorites, in choosing a meal. I’ve worked with 1000’s of college students from freshmen through graduate students. One of the things I’ve introduced them to is a simple process for thinking about options. I often focus on evaluating options based on two things. To what extent does this option (a career choice, changing majors, or…) make it easier or harder to accomplish your personal career objectives? To what extent does that option make it easier or harder to maintain a characteristic about yourself that really matters, perhaps your concern about the environment or even your love of a fitness practice like running? Raising the objective evaluation of your decision-making can make a huge difference. Don’t ignore the intuitive “gut feelings” part of the decision but don’t let that me the only factor. 5. Think Beyond What’s Next Again there is a very human tendency, that if you learn to think differently, will catapult you into greater success than much of your competition. As humans, we tend to be very good at thinking about “what’s next?” But we’re not as good at thinking about “what’s next after that?” and again “What’s next after that?” It’s considered by many high-level thinkers as the most serious problem of this second decade of the 21st Century â€" short-termism. There are exceptions. Chess players are very good at “down board” thinking. Network administrators demonstrate an awareness of how one connection affects not just the one they’re currently making, but the next one, and the next one, and so on. Individuals trained in techniques for total quality learned how to think about that “what’s next?” question with techniques like the “5 Why’s.” I’ve personally worked with students coming from these experiences, and they’ve shown the ability to think about p ossible consequences beyond just “what’s next?” in a variety of situations. With practice, it’s a skill easy to develop. This skill can be a critical difference maker for college students, one where a survey of students who practiced it reported over 95% satisfaction with learning a new way of thinking. In today’s world, it can be the frontline competitive advantage of minimizing those “unintended consequences.” If you can spot potential consequences, both good and bad, ahead of time, you have the competitive advantage of being able to prevent or minimize the damage from the bad. But more importantly, you have the chance to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the good. Disclosure: This post is sponsored by a Work It Daily-approved expert.
