Job Hunting Tips from the US Presidential Campaign

Granted, President of the United States is one of the most important and high profile jobs in the world, but a job nonetheless .. with voters in the role of hiring managers. Here are a few guidelines that you can apply to your job search: OUTLINE HOW YOUR BACKGROUND MAKES YOU UNIQUELY QUALIFIED - Detail your successes in the role and the processes of how they were reached. Also address challenges so you can highlight how you overcame them. Voters and employers both realize not all times will be smooth. Thus, it’s vital to prove you can clear hurdles. STATE CLEAR GOALS AND PLANS FOR REACHING THEM - Have specific milestones in mind to demonstrate that you won’t win the job and then drift aimlessly. No hirer wants a lame duck, so layout specific goals that your experiences and skills can help the organization reach. BE ARTICULATE AND CONFIDENT - Exuding self-assurance inspires confidence from others. Be engaging: comfortable, but not overly familiar; serious, but not stoic. The right look doesn’t hurt, either. Confidence can be as much conveyed in wardrobe as in demeanour. Remember - Warren G. Harding was famously thrust into the nomination in 1920 because he ‘looked like a President.”

Diwali (or Deepavali, the "festival of lights")

is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in

autumn (northern hemisphere) or spring

(southern hemisphere) every year.. Arguably

the most important festival in Hinduism, the

festival spiritually signifies the victory of

light over darkness or good over evil,

knowledge over ignorance, and hope over

despair. The celebration includes millions of

lights shining on housetops, outside doors

and windows, around temples and other

buildings in the communities and countries

where it is observed. The festival

preparations and rituals typically extend over

a five-day period, but the main festival night

of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new

moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month

Kartika.

REGENCY PARTNERS

WITH TTARP

www.regencytrinidad.com

Regency Recruitment is pleased to announce

that we have partnered with The Trinidad and

Tobago Association of Retired Persons (TTARP)

on a focused initiative to provide job opportunities

for their members aged fifty (50) and over who

are seeking employment.

Many employers seek experience and knowledge

when trying to fill a vacant position. The Trinidad

and Tobago Association of Retired Persons

(TTARP) has a massive membership of almost

35,000 persons who are age fifty (50) and over,

who are professionals, tradesmen or other

experts in their fields. Therefore it is no surprise

that many employers searching for reliable,

responsible and honest employees have turned

to TTARP for applicants.

Over the past year, TTARP engaged in discussions with several leading employment agencies within

T&T. They were seeking an agency whose goals are fused with

theirs, and they found such a partner with Regency

Recruitment and Resources Limited, a personal, dynamic

employment agency whose goals mirror theirs. Together,

we aspire to provide opportunities for those persons who

are labeled as “seniors” not only because of age but their

expertise and skills in varied field.

This partnership is quite timely, as The International Day of

Older Persons will be observed on October 1st and

the theme for this year is "Take A Stand Against Ageism".

Why A Good Resume Matters Nobody can ever underestimate how important it is to have a good resume. First impressions count, and the first impression that a potential employer will have of you, is going to depend on how you present your resume. This is going to be your one and only chance to capture a potential employer’s attention, or for your resume to be tossed into the file of those they don’t want to pursue. The statistics are that the average employer only spends a few seconds looking at a resume, so it is imperative that it makes an impression. In this increasingly competitive job market you need to have a professional resume that contains the right information, so that it will stand out amongst the countless other resumes that potential employers will be looking at, and give you the best possible chance of getting their attention. You need to remember that you only have a few seconds that the potential employer is going to be taking to glance at your resume, so it’s very important to make sure that all the years you have been working and studying are going to be represented properly in your resume.
