beladona Memorial Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...
Today my boss asked us all to update our resumes so he could send them to the regulators in answer to one of their questions. The surprising thing to me was that I had not updated it since May 2009 when I was last looking for a job -- most atypical of this knowledge nomad!
I always choke a bit when it comes to getting into the what I see as the introductory part of the resume -- your objective and then your professional profile. When writing about the objective, I am always sorely tempted to just say: make money. But instead I write: Objective: To utilize my diverse skill set honed by working in organizations that weathered tough economic conditions to assist an organization in surviving now while creating the processes and procedures needed to implement strategies to achieve future goals, emphasizing knowledge sharing and creation as the source of employee value to the organization and the organization’s value to the customer and other stakeholders No one has really asked, but if they did, I would say that means I really want to be able to show how execution is truly the key to implementing a successful strategic plan and that I want to be part of doing that.
Now the professional profile -- the part that is your "elevator pitch" to the prospective employer, the "why hire me in 15 seconds or less".
Experienced project manager with extensive background requiring a high degree of knowledge management, accuracy, investigation, and deadline awareness.
Effective communicator coordinating with individuals from diversified backgrounds across all levels of management and departments.
Unique combination of sales experience coupled with a solid working familiarity of operational functions and issues
Again no one has asked, but if they did, I would tell them that having been in several organizations – and a couple of them troubled – I have a truly unusual POV that I can leverage in service of their organization.
