Resume and CV trends change very quickly. Some applications need QR code or headshot, others may require a company logo. It’s rather difficult to tell which extras will grab the HR manager’s attention and help your application get noticed, and which will get it tossed out of the competition. Though certain things never go out style, and that is the format of your application document. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The ability to distinguish which resume format is right for your application and your industry can open more doors in front of you and <b>lead you to career success much faster</b>. I’d like to share with you some of my job searching tips and techniques. Today at Job Searching Mom we are going to talk about how you can choose the best resume format to help your application become a marketing tool that will sell you to the prospective employer.</div>
<br />
<h3>
Resume Format 2017</h3>
<br />
The labor market is constantly growing and in 2017 it keeps booming, so the competition is very stiff. If you have a modern and clean design and standard resume format, you are well on your way to winning at least a job interview – if not a new job. Why do you need to pay attention to the format of your application document? Simply because the design really matters. All you need is to create a clear and smooth look that will make your application outshine the competition. But make sure to avoid these <a href="http://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.nl/2017/06/type-of-resume-format-to-choose.html">resume mistakes</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
What Makes Resume Good?</h3>
<br />
An HR manager or a recruiter himself usually doesn’t spend a lot of time looking through each resume. A number of resumes a recruiter reads a week can vary but it’s definitely more than just a few. Therefore, <b>they can’t spend much time thinking</b> about each and every application. What makes them look at a CV for more than a few seconds? What makes a resume great? How should you build your document in order to make it fade away or stand out?<br />
<br />
There are so many questions about the best resume format 2017. I have also struggled with finding the right format and design because of so many options. You can choose a standard resume format, functional resume format (I've written about these formats in <a href="http://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.nl/2017/06/type-of-resume-format-to-choose.html">this article</a>), visual resume, online resume, graphical resume, resume in Microsoft Word or a resume in pdf. No matter what type of application document you find the most suitable, it should definitely become the marketing tool that highlights your key strengths and sells you to the potential employers.<br />
<h3>
<br />A Resume That Differentiates You</h3>
<br />
You can find my tips and advice on how to determine what professional resume format works best for you – chronological, functional or a combination type. All in all, your application document is <b>your main tool to distinguish and differentiate yourself</b> from the other applicants at the beginning of the job hunting process. So, this time we are talking about something different. For me, the top priority when thinking about my resume format is how it will separate me from the competing candidates and communicate my unique value. If I want my job search to be successful, I need to make sure my document jumps out of the pack and gets noticed by the HR managers.<br />
<br />
Dana Leavy-Detrick, the owner of Brooklyn Resume Studio, states that applying a simple resume format and adding a little color to your document is the easiest way to distinguish yourself and stand out. Adding some <b>compelling color and visuals or something attractive</b> to your CV can help it stand out. You don’t necessarily have to invest $100 or more to get your document professionally designed. But adding some accents, colors or other visual elements can make the whole application look completely different and catch the blurred eye of the recruiter.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869909055734314772noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809202363005621742.post-86845503010241022622017-07-06T07:05:00.000-07:002019-02-13T02:53:03.393-07:005 Mistakes to Avoid When Writing a Resume<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Does it really matter if you make some resume mistakes? Of course, it does. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact, if you send a seriously flawed application document, you will most likely be immediately screened out. And submitting a CV that doesn’t match the position for which you are applying is even worse than grammatical errors and typos. It will leave you out of the competition for the job. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I’ve already shared with you some of my top tips on <a href="http://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.com/2016/11/resume-writing-hacks-for-moms.html">resume writing hacks for moms</a> and resume writing formats here at Job Searching Mom. Today, we are going to talk about the biggest resume mistakes and best ways to avoid them.</div>
<br />
<h3>
The Biggest Resume Killers</h3>
<br />
There is no doubt that typos, grammatical errors, and misspellings are the worst resume mistakes and biggest resume killers. Remember to <b>spell check and reread your document</b> by placing your finger on every word or reading backward from the very end of the CV. Also, don’t be shy to ask your friend or family member to proofread it for you one more time. It pays to be precautious as it’s difficult to spot your own errors. That’s why having somebody else to proofread your document for you will definitely help a lot. Another option is to read it aloud in order to catch any mistakes.<br />
<h3>
<br />Not Adding the Necessary Keywords</h3>
<br />
The second biggest mistake when creating a resume is not including the <b>right keywords</b> that match the job description. You need to make sure your document has the same keywords that appear in the job posting. A resume without the keywords won’t get noticed by HR managers so you might lose a chance to win a job interview.<br />
<h3>
<br />Submitting an Outdated CV</h3>
<br />
Among the biggest resume mistakes to avoid, sending out an <b>outdated application document</b> will not only make you look obsolete but also will take away all the chances of landing the job. Make sure you update your curriculum vitae for every position you apply for. Apart from updating the work history and skills section, checking that you mention current computer skills will be a plus.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Giving Too Much Information</h3>
<br />
Why laying all your cards on the table when the game hasn’t started yet? There is no need in telling prospective employers every detail about each job. Keep your application document to one or two pages and try to concentrate on the highlights. To improve readability, you may use short paragraphs and bullet points. In addition, if you have extensive work experience, it’s better to limit your document to the last 10 years so that the HR managers can see the <b>last accomplishments and results of your work</b>. Leave some of the details for the job interview, and you will see that the recruiters would like to phone you to ask for additional information.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Creating a Resume Objective That Doesn’t Match the Position</h3>
<br />
As you’ve noticed, we are not talking about some funny resume mistakes here, but about rather serious flaws and errors that might cost you a good job. One of such big errors is writing an <b>objective that doesn’t correspond</b> with the targets of the position you want to apply for. Some job hunters don’t use a resume objective anymore or use a profile instead. However, if you decide to include it in your application, be sure your resume objective underscores your interest in the industry and type of work for which you are applying.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, these mistakes and errors are widespread among all the job hunters, both experienced professionals, and recent graduates. Try your best to proofread and double check your application documents before you submit them to make your job search successful.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17869909055734314772noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809202363005621742.post-77472809016852483282017-06-17T09:44:00.000-07:002019-02-13T03:03:41.144-07:00What Type of Resume Format to Choose<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We’ve already discussed <a href="http://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.com/2016/11/resume-writing-hacks-for-moms.html">resume writing hacks</a> and tips for stay-at-home moms, and now it’s time to talk about different resume types and the benefits of every format. I know how hard and tedious it is to put your application document together. Your resume is the introduction to prospective work relationships with a potential recruiter, so you need to try your best to make a wonderful first impression and get noticed. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you do catch the eye of the recruiter and they like your CV, you will get the chance to make a second impression during the phone call or the job interview. Otherwise, your application will end up in the trash, and we definitely don’t want this to happen. The first and the most important step towards having a great and impressive CV is to select the right format out of different resume types: <b>chronological</b>, <b>functional </b>and <b>combination</b>.</div>
</div>
<h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chronological Resume Format</div>
</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most job hunters are familiar with the chronological type of resume. Here, you need to put your work experience in <b>reverse chronological order</b> so that the most recent job comes first and can be easily noticed by the hiring managers. First, you place your personal and contact details on the very top of the page together with your address, email address, and phone number. Then, while listing all the jobs you’ve had going from the most recent one backward, make sure you state the time during which you occupied that position. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, give a brief description of each position. Follow your work experience section with a part about your education and mention degrees and certificates you have earned. So, when is this resume type beneficial and most suitable to use? I would recommend it to job hunters who are willing to <b>show their career growth</b>. However, it’s not the best option for people with unsteady work history or for stay-at-home moms with career gaps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Functional Resume Format</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of three different types of resume format, a functional resume is the best to use for candidates <b>who are changing careers</b>. Why? This resume format allows you to emphasize your transferable skills. You may not have the right experience for the job you are seeking, but you do have skills and abilities you’ve got through other experiences and projects, both paid and unpaid. Make a section for every ability and skill you want to highlight. Then, place related work experience underneath each section heading.</div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqnLwMyP16e52pgTUaz_Qcl8cuK7EYsCxOyJnNUoOsWJzZjMR1XsvQNbFD1RJT1qFetkHhE1DAYLrM3G6hywHsodUJU_mFdayduIlNEqvXDZtCLWi0JUIyAVNheaBtH_QXYub1jMt3j36l/s1600/resume.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="1024" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqnLwMyP16e52pgTUaz_Qcl8cuK7EYsCxOyJnNUoOsWJzZjMR1XsvQNbFD1RJT1qFetkHhE1DAYLrM3G6hywHsodUJU_mFdayduIlNEqvXDZtCLWi0JUIyAVNheaBtH_QXYub1jMt3j36l/s200/resume.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, don’t overestimate yourself and don’t list all the possible functions and skills you think may be useful for the job search. Mention three or four functions maximum so that the hiring manager has enough time to notice your key strengths and look through each of them. For instance, you can make sections “Accounting,” “Management and Supervision,” and “Writing and Editing.” Under each section write a small description of your achievements and results that will best describe your skill. By changing the objective of the resume you will be able to <b>target it to various recruiters.</b> There is only one drawback of a functional resume type as it doesn’t mention your job history, which may be crucial to some recruiters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Combination Resume Format</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This format of your application document can solve the problem of the previous type and tell the potential recruiters your employment history. It’s exactly what it’s called – a hybrid of a chronological and a functional type. Such resume type is perfect for job hunters who are <b>changing careers and have enough work experience</b> that might seem unrelated, or those who had just one place of employment but spent a huge amount of time there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here, after personal and contact information with your objective, you should put a <b>section describing your skills and job functions</b>. After that, follow our advice from the functional resume type but keep the description of each position shorter because we don’t want to write a novel here. Your second part will be “Work history” or “Employment experience” which will tell the hiring manager all they want to know about your previous career. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Choosing the right resume type for your job search objective will give you the opportunity to show the potential recruiters why you can be the perfect fit for their position.</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You’ve been working as a stay-at-home parent for the last several years. You’ve acquired excellent multi-tasking skills, project management, and problem-solving skills. The only problem you have is that the majority of your talents have been refined through your most recent job as a stay-at-home mom. Being a stay-at-home parent myself, I fully understand that this is probably the most challenging job on Earth. </div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From my own experience, I know how hard it can be to return to the 9-to-5 workforce after working from home for a few years. How can you market yourself if you have that big employment gap in your work history? How can you persuade prospective recruiters that in spite of that you are ready and excited to go back to work? Previously I've written a post about the best <a href="http://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/resume-writing-hacks-for-moms.html">resume writing hacks for moms</a> and here are some of the tips that worked for me on how to create a resume for mom returning to work.</div>
<h3>
<br />Update Your Resume Template</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first and the most important step towards landing a job is <b>updating your application documents</b>. There is no need to panic or be scared about creating your new resume for stay-at-home mom returning to work. Just remember how professional you are at cooking dinner, cleaning the tub and helping with the homework at the same time. The secret to writing an impressive and persuasive resume for mom returning to work sample is to use a combination type of resume instead of a functional resume. </div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This type of resume is a hybrid between a chronological document and the one that emphasizes your core skills. Therefore, it’s the most common resume type not only for stay-at-home parents but also for all kinds of job hunters. You may emphasize the things you are most proud of, then showcase them in the “Executive summary” section. Adding a “Core Proficiencies” section will help you highlight the things you are experienced to do – like cost controls, client relations, or project management. Only after that, you mention your career chronology, starting from the most recent positions and moving your way backward. By the way, here is my list of <a href="https://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.com/2017/04/stay-at-home-mom-resume-skills-that.html">resume skills for stay at home mom</a>.</div>
<br />
<h3>
Why You Shouldn’t Use a Functional Resume</h3>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiErd2OCZcIAUzbx-j_2T-k5SSCyTJKhnjMVLx0Qt-fFp2OFZK62YYGQttvPRvfImUQEkDl5B0ZZLRN_6LIDRmCmpi3jzakdXR2AuW6AP6PXWqzWoiIXZlhPPkYUGs3IEQRf6Z-4z3GiwNr/s1600/woman-hand-smartphone-laptop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiErd2OCZcIAUzbx-j_2T-k5SSCyTJKhnjMVLx0Qt-fFp2OFZK62YYGQttvPRvfImUQEkDl5B0ZZLRN_6LIDRmCmpi3jzakdXR2AuW6AP6PXWqzWoiIXZlhPPkYUGs3IEQRf6Z-4z3GiwNr/s200/woman-hand-smartphone-laptop.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On one hand, using a functional resume is one of the most widespread tricks of so many job hunters who try to divert the recruiter’s attention from their employment gaps because this type of application document <b>highlights your skills instead of career chronology and dates</b>. On the other hand, the vast majority of employers will instantly realize that you are attempting to conceal something.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another important reason not to use this type of resume is that <b>applicant tracking system doesn’t always see these documents</b>. As a result, your CV can easily get lost before it’s been even read by a hiring manager, especially when you apply for jobs through online job boards or company websites.</div>
<br />
<h3>
List Part-Time Jobs and Volunteering</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Did you know that you can actually include not only paid and full-time work in your application document? In fact, <b>take advantage of this opportunity</b> and add any part-time or volunteer activities that you’ve had during the time you were a stay-at-home parent. Don’t hesitate to list all of them in your career chronology and showcase all the important and useful stuff you have performed in those assignments. It’s your chance to get noticed and attract recruiters by listing what you have done and achieved.</div>
<br />
Remind yourself that you’ve definitely become even more experienced through these years and there is nothing that can stop you on your way to the top of the career ladder.</div>

<div>
I know how hard it is to return on the career track after being a stay at home parent. Over five million women are stay-at-home moms in the USA. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of moms decide to get back to work every year. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being a stay-at-home mom myself I understand how challenging it may be to stay confident and get your application noticed in spite of your employment gap. Here are my tips and insights on <b>how to list stay at home mom skills</b> on a resume and make sure your application documents help you sell yourself.<br />
<h4>
<br />Emphasize Related Activities</h4>
<br />
All you have to do is to <b>persuade </b>the recruiters that you have experience and skills to do the job they offer, that’s why the content of your resume should market you. When you write about your years out of the paid workforce, don’t forget to mention only those activities and achievements that back up the skills necessary and relevant to your future career goal.<br />
<br />
Many career experts and advisers state that the majority of women who are stay-at-home moms are not just doing homework and laundry. They take part in important volunteer efforts. This is the kind of experience you should include in your resume. You can emphasize <b>volunteer involvement</b> such as charity work, PTA, or fundraisers. It’s not that significant that this work wasn’t paid. Believe me, employers will treat volunteer work as valuable as any paid position you mention in your application. More than that, it’s a great opportunity to cover the employment gap in your documents.<br />

For instance, you can include such important skills as active listening, judgment and decision making, monitoring, complex problem solving, and critical thinking. Active listening skills mean giving full attention to things other people are saying, not interrupting at certain times, and asking questions if necessary. Decision making includes considering the pros and cons of potential actions to select the most appropriate one. Monitoring means assessing the performance of workers in order to make improvements or take action. Complex problem solving includes determining problems and reviewing the necessary information to evaluate different options and find solutions. </div>
<div>
<div>
<h4>
<br />Demonstrate Professional Development</h4>
<br />
Also, make sure you show your commitment to the industry by <b>including membership in different professional organizations</b> or taking part in conferences. You need to demonstrate that you have kept your professional skills and abilities refreshed through online learning and/or courses. Moreover, if you have performed any freelance or consulting work, don’t hesitate to mention this experience if it’s related to your job target.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Choose the Best CV Format</h4>
<br />
According to different career coaches, it’s crucial to select the right resume format in order to help your application get noticed. Many career advisers suggest stay-at-home moms avoid using chronological resumes because it will only highlight the gap in your employment history or will make the <a href="http://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.com/2017/02/things-that-make-resume-look.html">resume look unprofessional</a>. Instead, think about choosing a combination resume format. It’s the best alternative for parents who haven’t been at work for several years and have little add<span style="background-color: white;">itional experiences<span class=""></span> such </span>as volunteer work or freelance. Also, consider selecting a functional resume format. Although it’s not often preferred by employers and hiring managers, it allows you to highlight your skills and abilities while concealing your work history.<br />
<br />
Be honest and create an application that will market you as a person who has kept their skills and abilities up to date and is ready to return to the workforce.</div>

<br /></div>
It can be a real challenge to be a woman in today’s competitive labor market – especially if you hope to start a career in traditionally male-dominated industries, such as science, finance, mathematics, or engineering. As a woman, you may face lots of challenges starting your career in one of those fields. So how can you minimize the difficulties and breakthrough in the desired field? Today I want to talk about how to inspire women in a male-dominated industry. Here are some of my top tips.<br />
<div>
<br />
<h4>
Believe in Yourself</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
In my opinion, the most important is to <b>make small steps towards your dream</b>. You should believe in yourself and be ready to take the leap. For extra motivation, you may have a look at all those women who have important positions in high finance, national politics or heavy manufacturing today. If they managed to do this, you will definitely be not the exception.<br />
<br />
Well, being determined and believing in yourself should be your number one. <b>Don’t be afraid to try something new</b> or do things your way. Men tend to say that women are too emotional for the big jobs, but the truth is we have a great ability to emphasize which makes us effective and strong leaders who understand the details and see the big picture.<br />
<div>
<br />
<h4>
Meet the Challenges with Dignity</h4>
<br />
This is one of the top tips for <a href="https://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.com/2016/10/why-business-world-is-still-intimidated.html">women when working in a male-dominated industry</a>. Let me explain to you why. You will face more challenges and difficulties in a field that’s always been controlled by men. That’s why it’s crucial to surround yourself with trustworthy and successful people. Even women CEO in a male industry need to connect with people who serve as inspiration and trust because these individuals will help them develop and boost confidence and push to the next level. If you have at least two or three friends who back you with their support and believe in your strength, you should definitely appreciate it.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Avoid Stereotypes</h4>
<br />
Women in a male-dominated industry can be treated differently. I know what it feels like when people judge from their own stereotypes about you and what you can do. <b>Don’t take it personally</b>. Again, believe in your strengths and just be always ready to show others what you are capable of. In other words, don’t let the stereotypes get on you.<br />
<h4>
<br />Develop a Good Sense of Humor</h4>
<br />
Sometimes, men experience difficulties accepting women on the job because they suppose they will have to <b>behave in a different way</b> when we are around. A great step ahead in your relationships with male co-workers will be if you let them know that criticizing their girlfriend or dirty jokes don’t offend you. This will help men feel more relaxed and more comfortable in your presence. However, there is no way you should ever tolerate sexual harassment.<br />
<br />
I hope you find these tips and advice helpful and will use them in your future career in a male-dominated field. Don’t be scared of issues women face in a male-dominated industry. Let’s break the stereotypes together and show the world that women can do everything. Good luck in your job search!</div>

You are probably reading this because you are a stay-at-home mom who wants to go back to work but doesn’t know how to reflect your current role in your resume or LinkedIn profile. And yes, this time we will be talking about how you should update your LinkedIn profile for stay at home mom. You are not the only person looking for ways to go back to work. I’ve been there and now I’d like to share my own experience as well as some career expert advice on how to get started.<br />
<div>
<br />
<b>ABC-Book for Moms Who Use LinkedIn</b><br />
<br />
LinkedIn has come into our lives and changed the way people get hired. Nowadays, it replaces so much old recruiting work like reading trade publications, networking, or calling people. It has become one major online networking event. Many moms ask me, “<i>Should I use LinkedIn if I am a stay at home mom?</i>” You would be surprised to know that you can find <b>more than 90,000 results</b> for “stay-at-home mom” if you search on LinkedIn. This number should raise hopes in your breast because if so many moms managed to do this you are not the exception.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Create Your Profile</b><br />
<br />
The first thing you need to do is to create your profile unless you have one already. Think about the dream job you would like to land, write down 20 words that describe this position. Then, go on LinkedIn and <b>search for people with the same keywords </b>that already have your dream job. Have a good look at their profiles and get the idea of what you’d like to do with yours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don’t forget that when you are creating your profile you should <b>think like a hiring manager</b>. Remember to add necessary keywords so that real recruiters will be able to find your profile the same way.</div>
<div>
<b><br />LinkedIn Profile is Not the Resume</b><br />
<br />
Remember this every time you add some information or update your profile. Unlike your CV or resume (by the way, if you are looking for effective <a href="http://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.com/2016/11/resume-writing-hacks-for-moms.html">resume writing hacks for moms</a>, I've written a post about this), you don’t have to enumerate everything here. Your profile is your own creation, so feel free to show your personality, avoid passive voice and be less formal. That’s why it’s significant first to look at other profiles through keywords. Stay at home mom on LinkedIn shouldn’t be a black sheep. So, make your profile professional and attractive rather than boring and stuffy.<br />
<b><br />Get into LinkedIn Groups</b><br />
<br />
Here at JobSearchingMom I always recommend my readers to socialize and use networking as much as you can. If you want to get noticed and eventually to get found by recruiters, join various LinkedIn groups. I mean there are plenty of professional groups for different fields, so just find some groups about your desired field or job and get into them. Remember to get chatty, participate in the discussions, suggest postings, comment on blogs and answer questions. <b>The more groups you joined the more chances you have for getting noticed.</b> Many recruiters admit that they first go to such groups where they can find job seekers interested in the field.<br />
<br />
Don’t be scared of changes. Get your LinkedIn profile up there and get noticed!</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDU2mlgfZVD02xaNiQ3OTPPszrHS6fBKOGJTFiEEtY-r2t9wFYn7YOgXza8i18G7cT9Fc9M4SAsPFoU06GUYPqo2Op-hGCyjhLuoyVWhKrqvBDxJLnfuPymxL_6gyphmUU1OA-86OKEea/s1600/cover+blog.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDU2mlgfZVD02xaNiQ3OTPPszrHS6fBKOGJTFiEEtY-r2t9wFYn7YOgXza8i18G7cT9Fc9M4SAsPFoU06GUYPqo2Op-hGCyjhLuoyVWhKrqvBDxJLnfuPymxL_6gyphmUU1OA-86OKEea/s400/cover+blog.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Returning to work is a significant event for any parent. And let us be honest: making this kind of decision isn't easy. Everything that follows, isn't much of a breezy task as well. Falling out of the job market happens quickly and easily. As people say, no man is indispensable - there will always be other competitors.<br /><br />Instead, getting to work after the <b>parental gap</b> requires a lot of determination and dedication. Writing a new or updating your old resume and stay at home mom returning to work cover letter may seem extremely frightening at first. But it’s important to remember that there isn't much to be scared of. Obviously, you lost some of the business network connections and insiders knowledge, but it's ok. <br /><br />A cover letter for stay at home mom is <b>a perfect chance to explain the work gap</b> and its importance for you (or for your skills). You wouldn't go deep into it in your resume, because these details are superfluous. A cover letter is a different kettle of fish. It is like a preview to the resume, so it's better to be good. The effect has to be impressive. The recruiting managers should dive into it and wait for the main course (resume itself) impatiently. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By the way, if you are a job searching mom and searching for the ways to impress the HR managers, read my <a href="http://jobsearchingmom.blogspot.com/2016/12/key-stay-at-home-mom-skills-for-resume.html">post about key stay-at-home mom skills for resume</a>.<br /><br />In this way, writing a cover letter after being a stay at home mom allows clarifying the <b>potential benefits</b> of the work gap. I mean every parent knows that maternal break is no vacation at all. One either gets necessary skills or leaves in the constant state of chaos and disorder. Doesn't anything jump into the mind? Time- and self-management, all these fussy terms, mothers master them intuitively. </div>
<div>
<br /><h3>
Get Back to the Industry</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
Any cover letter mom going back to work will only win from the insider tips. But the question that pops up is “<b>How can you get these exact insider pieces of advice</b>?” The answer lies in the good old-fashioned business networking. I totally get it - a newly-minted mother often fails to keep the old acquaintances alive. <br /><br />Yet, it is another reason to arrange a <b>meeting</b>. You'll have a chance to chill out and win back a feeling of connectedness. Probably, significant changes, which one actually need to note, have happened in the industry. Besides, by dropping news about the job search, you bring into the motion an eternal mechanism. You say it to the one person - and news item goes viral. Then surprising things can happen. For example, the person, who is currently in the employee search and learns about a potential candidate, is you. You can even ask someone, with whom you're meeting, whether they have a vacancy in the company. Or whether this person could introduce you and give a few pointers to someone in the professional field.</div>
<div>
<br /><h3>
Highlight Skills not Experience</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQty5FMg8tE1-dDcaAs2-PvN8nTa8xpJkYi8Khw-rBrP0DPjfpjInoEQB4zpNp7gRbKTme1DzO-bG_yl-y2tXweh51STRLQXe2ZA7frPLwgFV4oSxXBf6t8fwrH7PlkvgB7cPFidfSrUMH/s1600/skills.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQty5FMg8tE1-dDcaAs2-PvN8nTa8xpJkYi8Khw-rBrP0DPjfpjInoEQB4zpNp7gRbKTme1DzO-bG_yl-y2tXweh51STRLQXe2ZA7frPLwgFV4oSxXBf6t8fwrH7PlkvgB7cPFidfSrUMH/s320/skills.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
It's great when a person had an impressive experience long before the parental leave. The point speaks for itself. However, the case is quite seldom. Most of the people have a little job experience in overall. In this instance, you need to <b>choose a right approach</b>. Highlighting the skills you've got and not a job activity is an answer. And don't lure yourself into a common misbelief.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /><div>
A lot of people still believe that one can get relevant skills only through the job occupation. Well, that's not 100% true. Of course, these skills are <b>important and beneficial </b>but there's more to the process. Cover letter for stay at home mom returning to workforce can easily pull off a mention of the community, charity or any other organizational activity. As long as you disclose clearly the things, you've done and mastered, you're on the right path.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have you ever written a cover letter by yourself? Were there any difficulties or there was no need in writing this?</div>

<div>
Work experience is important, without the doubt, it speaks for itself and represents the perfect professional image. Obviously, it should align with the target job ad, the list of the desired skills and background. You can be sure, that you are a perfect match, but the employers don't know about it yet. And they are unlikely to find out if your resume doesn't help you in the long run. </div>
<br />
As you may see from the unprofessional resume examples (it can be easily found on the Internet), style matters as well as content. Statements about your significance, smartness, and dedication are half of the work. A good resume is always a self-marketing tool, which needs to be focused. Here you'll find a few little, the most widespread tweaks that make all the difference.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Too Bright Formatting</b><br />
<br />
Admit it, you're not a kid or teenager anymore and a ridiculous formatting is better to be avoided. There is even a golden rule in the industry. If pretentious fonts or colors are the first things employers see, there is something wrong with a document. The <u>focus should be on the words</u> only, their styling has to dissolve and fade; only the content is important. One sure thing: color in a resume is an unprofessional choice and no curly fonts or images are wanted. It is a common advice to limit yourself to the four fonts in overall.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2. Weird Names of E-mail Accounts</b><br />
<u><br /></u> <u>Strange e-mail name</u> is one of the best ways of sending a wrong message to the hiring manager. If you want the employer to take you seriously, everything in the resume and cover letter should be perfectly polished. The recruiting managers always consider these as the bad signals.<br />
<br />
Besides, e-mail accounts are usually free. There is nothing that can stop you from the creating your own or the new one if needed. It is a bad idea to share an account with the family. The comic names like "<i>cheeselover@gmail.com</i>" or "<i>burgersaremypassion@domain.com</i>" look absolutely unprofessional. Offensive or frivolous names are also a total turn-off. You'd probably think that it is absurd to use such domain names. Still, it can be surprising, how many people are making this mistake. And what is really important, that the applicants aren't dull or ignorant. They just don't think it matters.<br />
<b><br />3. Pictures Aren't You Friends</b><br />
<br />
Most of the people wonder about the many things resume-related. Is it unprofessional to include pictures in a resume? The answer: it is superfluous in most cases. First of all, it leaves almost no chances to get through the applications tracking system. Besides, <u>the hiring managers can even dismiss applications because of this element</u> at once. Any possible accusation in any kind of the discrimination should be withdrawn. Thus, it is better not to attach any photo. It can even subconsciously influence the manager's decision. And we are talking here neither about the bikini photos nor about the party shots. They are no questions asked on this matter.<br />
<b><br /><br />4. Proofreading Is Above Everything Else</b><br />
<br />
It can be extremely frustrating to write a great resume and waste all good impressions because of the numerous typos and spelling errors. It is amazing, how many people make the same mistake all over again. <u>Spell checking apps are the saviors</u> as they can spot a lot of errors. There are such types of misspelling when a word is grammatically right but wrong according to the context. A real person will notice it with the best probabilities. It might be helpful is someone close to you will edit your document before you sent it to the prospective hirer.<br />
<br />
Have you ever done any of these mistakes? Personally, I’m always afraid of grammar mistakes as I’m used to type so quickly and sometimes I do not notice my own mistakes, which is why I’m always asking my husband to edit my writing.</div>

All around the wold college students are looking for the good jobs for. They want it to be suitable, high-profile and high-paying. Believe me, I totally get it. Been there, done that. As a student, I was always in a search for the best part-time jobs for college students. At first, I worked as a student assistant. Let's say, it wasn't easy, neither it was an exciting time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After a few months, I found out, that I could be earning actually much more off the campus. Then I began searching for the online jobs for college students all over again. It took a little time to sort out the offers, yet, finally, I got a good job. Here should be a note about a lot of job scams back then. Nowadays it is much easier to find safe options. So here I come with the list of the most appealing jobs for the students.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1. Bartender</b><br /><br />It is commonly thought as one of the best summer jobs for college students. You can easily understand, why the job is so lucrative for students. They work at night, what gives them a possibility to keep u<span style="text-align: justify;">p with the general study timetable. They don't have miss out on the lectures. But they do need to find a time and place to do their homework. One of the undeniable pros is money. The salary is usually pretty fair and there are always tips on the way. Sometimes tips even outweigh a salary itself. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmP5_qVY0RHjpvnDRv1KLAXL-yPcqCLMxVChWqzLAjWZlCZus4h0_-96Yu9tAErbynUF4nCEUbwybIoewx87D3VPSyJedGbxsulSDz3z5OG2m2ASvCP9bcFWsGayBvoTjnIjzMQoTDtoz/s1600/Bartender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmP5_qVY0RHjpvnDRv1KLAXL-yPcqCLMxVChWqzLAjWZlCZus4h0_-96Yu9tAErbynUF4nCEUbwybIoewx87D3VPSyJedGbxsulSDz3z5OG2m2ASvCP9bcFWsGayBvoTjnIjzMQoTDtoz/s400/Bartender.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still, there are certain difficulties to overcome. First of all, one has to understand the truth: being bartender is a real job. Despite the common misconception, it is an exhausting and nerve-racking profession. Second, it is attached to a specific lifestyle. If you're scared of the nightlife drama, it is better to look for the other job.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b>2. Tutor</b></b></div>
<b>
</b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This job is always considered to be one of the best paying jobs for college students. And it truly is. Almost every student is especially good at one or even a few subjects. Why not use it for your benefit? You could tutor anyone, from preschoolers to the college students. Finding a job is possible in two ways. First, there may be a tutoring program in your educational institution. Second, you can advertise yourself privately on the websites or through the acquaintances. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best thing is that you have a choice for almost everything: who, when and how to teach. At the same time, it becomes a real challenge. Complete (reasonable) freedom in actions requires a high level of responsibility and efficiency. Of course, not all of us can be qualified tutors. So it makes sense to do a little rehearsal and give a first free class to someone familiar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The digital era is here. More and more people are using social media networks and Youtube to express themselves and, meanwhile, earn some money. Why don't you give it a try? All you need is a basic video editor, good camera, and the Internet connection. It is very likely for you to have it all already. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, start with some practice. Get a video of yourself and analyze it. Are you pleasant to look at, do you look confident and aware? If the answer is "yes", this job is for you. Then you have only to find your niche. Luckily, there are a lot of themes. And all of them have their listeners. Beauty, education, fitness - you can choose whatever you like. Make a choice, analyze the trends and you're ready to go.</div>

Let’s admit it: we all have been there. Another day, another job search on LinkedIn using different variations of the same job. Yet again you have no reply and you close your computer in defeat. Job search is a really challenging thing. But what makes it even more difficult is trying to maintain the motivation even after a long period of rejections.<br />
<br />
My experience in the job hunt taught me how crucial it is not to lose heart and give way to despair. So here are my personal top tips on how to be motivated in job search. Apply these simple changes to your job-hunting process and get your motivation revived by focusing more on you than on the resume itself.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Make a Detailed To-Do List</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
In the beginning of the job search, your motivation seemed to be on top and you believed you can manage to go through all the ups and downs of this time-consuming process and wriggle out of a tight situation. However, as the times goes and you still get no response, your motivation becomes much lower until a general task like “redo your CV” or “network” become overwhelming. How to make the job search more manageable? All you need to do is to read your to-do list once again and try to divide it into smaller and more specific tasks.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Search for Career Role Models</b><br />
<br />
Nowadays the average job search may take up to eight months before it becomes successful. It’s not surprising that during all that time you experience ups and downs trying to land your dream job. You usually come across job descriptions that require several years of experience and you lose heart.<br />
<br />
However, you should remember that not every career path is linear and even the most successful people have come across jumps and loops before they got to where they are today. So, make a break from the job boards and search for people on LinkedIn who already have your dream jobs and work at your dream companies. This will help you realize once again that small steps also count.<br />
<b><br />3. Look for Constructive Criticism</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
It’s good to have a few friends who can be not only your fans but also helpful and supportive critics. Constructive criticism from your supporters is another great way of keeping yourself motivated during job search. Feel free to ask your co-worker, friend or lecturer who believed in you to revise, what you have already done, and recommend you what can be improved. Think about what your biggest struggle is or where you actually need help. It can be a job interview or CV formatting. Determine your weakest points and ask for advice from the relevant people.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4. Write Down Your Career Goals</b><br />
<br />
Take some time and think about all the possible big and small dreams you would like to achieve. Then take a piece of paper and write them down. This is a great motivational tip to once again see where you are now and where you would like to be in ten years.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Take Time Off</b><br />
<br />
If you start feeling burned out from constant job searching process with no results, don’t forget to take days off and let your brain refocus on the main aims. Also, it’s a perfect option for unwinding your mind and trying to notice what small things you may be missing in chase of your dream job.<br />
<br />
These were some of my top tips on how to get motivated in job search. I hope you will find them useful and they will work for you, too.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Job hunting isn't easy, especially for the young moms, who need to stay at home and make money at the same time. I'm ready to bet, that pretty much every stay-at-home mom can relate to the fact. What I'm specifically talking about, is a lack of communication. Not just routinely "adult" connection, (which<span lang="EN-US"> is</span>, by the way, a real issue), but a lack of the industry communication, those types of talks, when you discuss the professional,<span lang="EN-US"> industry-related </span>news<span lang="EN-US"> as well as</span> job hunting rules.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">T</span>here is always someone, searching for a job or in need to change a career. When you're on your own, keeping track of the standard job rules becomes a little more complicated. Week in week out, you lose the chances of getting an up-to-date information. The good news is, the Internet is always on your side. However, there are always some troubles with finding a real catch. I tried to make it simpler and accumulated all the most useful to break job search rules in the <span lang="EN-US">post below</span>.<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1. Following the Same Pattern</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are times when you're just tired of job searching. You send dozens of resumes, still, it never gets off the ground.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It might be a sign that</span> an applicant needs to reconsider the system. You surely recognize the old scheme: you apply to the job ad, send a resume straight to the hiring manager and wait for the decision to come.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, in a modern world, the majority of people get a job by the networking. Remember, the "<i class="">it-word</i>" of the job hunting industry? Turns out, it <span lang="EN-US">does </span>work. Almost every job search book states that networking is one of the key factors for a great job searching. So it may be just the time to ask someone you know from the company for a favor. Set up a meeting and ask them to give your resume to the recruiting manager. The opportunity offers an entirely different approach. The recruiter will automatically pay more attention to the resume, which is delivered by someone familiar. The incredible thing will be to know someone, who is respected and appreciated in the job environment. It makes a double win.<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2. Using Traditional Template</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obviously, it is much easier to use a regular template and fill it with the even more common phrases like "<i>results-oriented</i>" and "<i>team worker</i>". Nevertheless, it is better to break the pattern. Such resumes and cover letters don't impress at all. Instead, just answer the question: "Why am I a good match for this job?". There's a chance, that you aren't necessarily the best candidate. Yet, for whatever reason, a job definitely draws you in. Find out, why is that and simply write it down.<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>3. Assuming That Employers Have Absolute Power</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is a popular but unspoken rule: "<i>Employers have all the power and applicants need to please them in order to get a job</i>". It isn't true. Actually, every party here has a multiple choice. A manager has other options as well as a candidate itself. Thus, there is no need to turn into a shy and humble person. The aim of the whole process is to make an offer that's hard to resist. A little hint, it is a centered and confident employee, who is willing to raise a voice. <span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4. Grasping for Any Available Chance</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As tempting as it may be, agreeing with the first available position is much harmful. We all know, that quitting is harder than walking away in the first place. The thing is, don't stop chasing the right opportunities just because they are harder. See it as a challenge to master the rules of successful job search. Otherwise, it will be a ridiculous waste of time, which is worth to regret.<br />
<br />
Please, share your opinion and insights in the comments below? Do you agree that some of the ‘time-tested’ job searching rules are not as important s it used to be, like 10 years ago?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">It can be really time-consuming and quite exhausting to work while being a mom. It is necessary to balance two important aspects of your life and think about so many things at the same time. Luckily nowadays there are a lot of opportunities to work without having to dedicate the whole day to your job only. What are the best part time jobs for moms that can make you some money and still leave some time for your kids? In this post I’ll try to share my ideas and tips, please note that I write an approximate amount of payment in this post.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Travel Agent<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There are many flexible part time jobs for moms and other people looking for some extra money. A travel agent is one of them. As a rule, the payment may not be very big, but you will be able to make extra money according to the amount of deals you close and how much work you do. An average rate is $25-30 per hour. You won’t need to spend the whole day in the office and you can handle this job even from home. This job will be especially suitable for those who are fond of travelling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Life Coach<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nowadays life coaches are in great demand. Working as a life coach is one of the perfect part time jobs for moms as it’s now very time-consuming and you don’t have to sit at the same working place the entire day. You are free to arrange meetings with clients in order to help them with anything they need. Your work will depend on what types of coaching services you offer to clients. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Massage Therapist<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The main advantage here is that you can schedule your clients depending on your free time, but such kind of work requires certain medical education. This is a great source of extra money because it’s an hourly paid job; the average rate here is $30 per hour. If you are skilled enough and have some work experience you can even charge higher.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Tutor<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Tutoring has become one of the most popular part time jobs for moms in NYC and other big cities. Tutors are in great demand so if you have good skills and knowledge of any subject plus a passion for teaching, don’t hesitate to try it out. Start finding some schools to work for or separate students. The average rate for this kind of job starts from $30.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Graphic Designer<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Looking for one of the best part time jobs for moms? Here is one you will like. Being a graphic designer means not only earning $50 and more per hour. You can potentially make much more money once you have established a network of clients and made your portfolio. There will also be enough time left for you and your children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Speech Pathologist<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Do you want to use your degree and get a really well-paid job? A speech pathologist is certainly one of the top part time jobs for moms with degrees as it demands certain knowledge and expertise. As a matter of fact, you will have to deal with people who have speech problems. You will need to help them speak normally and try to solve their concomitant physical, psychological or mental problems. In return for this, you will get good money and plenty of time for your kids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I do not mention the most popular options for stay-at-home-moms such as blogging and copywriting, probably because these are the very first ideas that might cross your mind. Being a stay-at-home mom and earning good money at one time is real. Make your own decision and search for the part time job that you find most suitable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I'm wating for your comments, perhaps, you have some experience and helpful tips to share!</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The survey of top jobs in 2019 showed that more than 40% of recruiters struggled to find talented candidates for their positions. That means the talent war is still on and you need to strengthen your hand in it. Make sure that you keep in mind the following job search trends 2017 and get benefit from them as you try out new job opportunities. Here is a bit of my research and some conclusions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>Choose Hard-to-Fill Positions</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The survey conducted on the best job boards 2016 shows that such jobs as engineers, sales representatives, drivers, technicians, machine operators, receptionists, and secretaries are the hardest positions to fill around the world. This means that even if you are a stay at home mom or in the process of changing career paths, you may consider some of these options and tailor your resume to highlight experiences and skills that employers desperately need to fill.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>Apply for Jobs</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
About 25% of participants in the job survey mentioned a lack of applicants. This is true because plenty of candidates often think recruiters will never call them or even read their resumes. That’s why it’s crucial to remember that your resume doesn’t disappear into a “black hole”. Recruiters and hiring managers not only read them but also actively interview the candidates. Instead of trying to convince yourself that no one will contact you, think about where to find jobs and you will be pleasantly surprised by the amount of replies you get.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>Read the Job Description Carefully</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS9_srsoOV2VhshvjgdfyMBV5zX3iQAeZAbJb9xRCm9EADirxnvVsaSAzKCpdMro_SsPzqZiAaQoziuYtAmuu5HFph1lpxNP9nrhqfvefSU9eDSrF3cCV_YXYr6_hPYbsQjLPj5XJnvOsN/s1600/concept-1868728_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS9_srsoOV2VhshvjgdfyMBV5zX3iQAeZAbJb9xRCm9EADirxnvVsaSAzKCpdMro_SsPzqZiAaQoziuYtAmuu5HFph1lpxNP9nrhqfvefSU9eDSrF3cCV_YXYr6_hPYbsQjLPj5XJnvOsN/s200/concept-1868728_1920.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">About 20% of recruiters mentioned that many applicants don’t have the necessary skills or relevant experience for the job. In case you are a job searching mom and desperately need a job, don’t apply to all jobs at once without reading the job description. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The best way to search for jobs is to review the job description thoroughly and then ask yourself if you are a fit for this position. Most importantly, ask yourself if you have the skills that will match the job requirements. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>On-the-job Training</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Of course, demonstrating the required skills and experience needed to get hired, you can also anticipate continued professional development and on-the-job-training that many companies offer to their employees. Training and development will provide you lots of new useful skills, which you can use in order to market yourself on your resume.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>Anticipate Higher Salary</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Job hunters are now in demand, which means you can expect higher salaries as companies feel accountable for making sure their employees feel valued. This year the average pay increase is expected to be 3 percent. It is a good time to explore new career opportunities and maybe even expect a salary increase.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>Expect Better Perks</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Right now it’s an excellent time to start looking for a new job. According to the information from the best job boards 2016, <b><a href="https://www.jobscan.co/blog/january-job-search/" target="_blank">January is the month when applicants have more chances to land a job</a></b> than in any other time of the year. Besides boosting the salaries, different companies may also offer different perks like additional paid time off, sign-on bonuses, free lunches etc. About 30% of companies surveyed confirmed that they provide additional benefits and perks to new employees.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>

There is one important thing to remember about while searching for a job. Motivation. You may not believe but it is so easy for a job hunter to get depressed and discouraged. You may get calls, interviews and later a rejection email. As a result, you feel bad for yourself. I like this video from CareerCake, it is a great motivating video. I hope it will help you and inspire to continue looking.

<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We all know that using social media for job search can do a lot of good for the applicant. It helps you stand out from the hundreds of others and find a dream job. Here are three main reasons to hop on the social media board:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>1. Showing the Knowledge<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When people show a deeper understanding of the industry they work in, it makes them look well-trusted. It doesn't require having a personal blog. Writing the relevant information about the news and events in the related industry blog works too. The latter is a perfect option for the busy and not so creative people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>2. Demonstrating a Willingness to Learn</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Not all of the social media job search sites are user-friendly. However, every product of the digital technology takes some time to master. It is especially important if electronic devices weren't a part of your childhood or youth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Nobody has to be a computer pro. However, understanding benefits of using social media for job search reveals the applicant's awareness of the modern state of affairs as well as readiness to learn and comprehend new skills included. This point is hard to undervalue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Experts say that Pinterest is a good place to start. It has something to do with the fact of the visual representation. Resume and cover letter are regular documents. Photos, related to the education and work experience, add a personal touch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>3. Finding out More About the Company</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Social media are useful not only for the hiring managers cause the benefit flow both ways. Social networks can communicate a lot about the company, its clients and work ethic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Moreover, using the data in the resume or cover letter can give you an advantage. Just stay cautious and avoid writing unreasonable things. Then they'll get the feeling of familiarity even before the interview. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So, personally I use these social media for job search:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">1. <b>LinkedIn </b>was created as a professional network, so it does what it says. It's a top place to search for a job. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">One of the most important things here is a profile. That's what other users see and that's how you represent yourself. A good profile should contain up-to-date and accurate information about the skills, education, and work experience; incorporating the keywords won't go amiss either. It will help the recruiter find you and recognize if you're exactly what they look for. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">However, there are certain disadvantages of using social media for job search. Well, to be more accurate, it can be a problem if you do not use them correctly. But make sure to submit the right photo. Your photo is a very significant feature of an account, particularly when it comes to the LinkedIn profile. The right photo will maximize the efforts and make a good first impression. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">2. </span><b>Instagram </b>is more than endless selfies and recipes accounts. It can be a perfect tool for the personal branding. It enhances your personality while creating a professional image. If your Instagram is full of photos from the good old days, it's better to create a new profile. Otherwise, the reputation may hurt. Let private things stay private.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Instagram doesn't work the same way for specialists from all industries. One can find it more helpful than the other. Analyze the circumstances and decide how the network can help just you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Sure enough, Facebook as well as Google+ can be used for job search, but I’d like to know about your experience. Do you have social media profiles and do you use them for the job search? </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Some jobs tend to bring higher stress than others. These are the jobs that have demanding time pressure (healthcare workers), that are located in dangerous settings (police, fire), that have repetitive detailed work (manufacturing), and that deal with demanding clients (service providers). The recent job survey states that nowadays job stress represents a big threat to the health of people. By the way, <a href="http://www.stress.org/workplace-stress/" target="_blank">here</a> you can find a lot of stuff about stress nature. Job stress is a harmful emotional and physical condition that happens when the worker feels that the requirements of the job don’t correspond with his capabilities or needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Recent Families and Work Institute job stress study showed that 40 percent of workers report they have “a very or extremely stressful” job. Numerous studies prove the unpleasant statistics about the physical and mental health of workers in many countries. Starting new job stress is one of the most common types of stress.

<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-US">We are going to talk about the best strategies for coping with job stress and ways to overcome it. The first rule is that unlike your family and health all jobs are disposable, so you shouldn’t be afraid to replace it. You can always change your job and try to find a better one if you think your employer wants too much from you. You will also need to learn how to deal with new job stress while joining the ranks, but it’s hopefully something more enjoyable and exciting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-US">In case you really like your employer and you are feeling comfortable with your job, but it has become too boring or stressful, try to ask about tailoring the job to your skills. If the boss has promoted you into a more stressful position, don’t be afraid to ask for a lateral transfer or even a transfer back to your previous position.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-US">You are welcome to take a short break if you feel the stress is growing and you soon won’t be able to cope with it. It’s good to walk away from the situation, sit on a bench, take a short walk in the park, or even exercise. If you are too exhausted to do that, you can just find a quiet place and relax while listening to your iPod. Also, when you or your coworkers start to take things too seriously, try to find some humor in the situation. You may share with them a joke or a funny story in order to take the strain off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I'm sure you will like this video as well! <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FIL9zPBYa80" width="480"></iframe><br />

<br />
Are you one of the millions of moms who have left their job to raise young kids? Although you may have had a wonderful career and an expensive education, the decision came down in favor of simple math. You could either leave your kids with paid childcare, which may cost nearly all of your earning potential, or you could become the unpaid childcare yourself.<br />
<br />
Are you experienced in multitasking skills with the ability to handle difficulties and problem-solving? Do you have exceptional management capabilities? We are sure you have a gazillion wonderful skills and talents, many of which have been perfected over the past few years during your most recent job as a stay-at-home mom. That’s why today I’m going to talk about the best resume writing hacks for moms to help you create your comeback resume.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Get Started </b><br />
<br />
Everybody agrees that being a mom is probably the hardest job on the planet. However, the time you’ve spent staying at home and raising your kids can present serious difficulties when you decide to venture back and join the workforce. How to hide career hiatus? How will you market yourself now when you haven’t had a real job for a few years? How will you convince a recruiter that you are the perfect candidate for their position and that, in spite of your gap years, you are excited and ready to start work?<br />
<br />
The golden rule is <u>not to panic</u>. Even if you are frightened, remind yourself that you have got everything you need to carry it off. Lots of people come back into the workforce, and you certainly can, too.<br />
<br />
<b>Update Your Resume </b><br />
<br />
The most important thing you need to remember when updating your resume is to <u>avoid using a functional resume</u>. A lot of people think it’s a good idea to use this particular type of resume because it doesn’t list any career chronology and therefore distract the employer’s attention from your resume gaps. This is one of the most common mistakes.<br />
<br />
The problem is that most employers will immediately realize that you are attempting to hide something. More than that, your CV can even get lost in a tracking system in case you are using online application tools such as company websites or job boards. This concerns only functional resume.<br />
<br />
<b>Create a Chronological Resume </b><br />
<br />
The best type of resume you can use to <u>highlight your desire to re-join professionals</u> is a chronological resume. This is the most common style of resume for any type of job hunters. You can highlight the stuff you are best known for and most proud of. Also, you can make a “Main Proficiencies” section and include the things you already know how to do. Finally, you make your career chronology and first list the most recent positions.<br />
<br />
<b>Include Part-Time Work and Volunteer Assignments </b><br />
<br />
There is no rule that allows you to include only paid and full-time work in your career chronology. That’s why, if you worked part-time while staying at home with the kids or took part in any volunteer roles don’t hesitate to mention this experience in your chronology.<br />
<br />
Show the best you did during these assignments: <u>include anything from recruiting volunteers for a school club to planning charity events</u>. Any type of experience can be relevant. Another tip is, under any circumstances, not to create a section on your CV listing your time as a stay-at-home mom as a full-time job. While parents know that it’s certainly an intense and demanding position, most recruiters won’t take this part of your CV seriously.<br />
