Pro tips to write a good resume

I am going to provide you with additional tips to help you write a good resume so you can really stand out when applying for jobs.

• Keep your words short: Instead of writing a novel, keep things short and make every talked about experience read as a statement, do not make them sound like a full sentence. Remember the best resumes are composed as statement.
• Proofread Your Work: Before you click that SAVE button you need to proofread your resume out loud. My favorite trick is, wait 3 days and read it. You can really perfect it then. This way you will make your resume flawless and will increase it’s quality. You can also have your friends and family members to read it and get a solid feedback from the 3rd party to really get it on point.
• Use the white space: The blank regions on your resume are known as the white space, which contains no text or imagery. You should eliminate skills or any work experience that is not related to the job posting. Replace the white spaces with graphics design that stands out or images that are appealing to the eye.

How to find a job using Indeed?

One of the fastest ways to get a job is to go through reputable and trusted platform indeed.

Here are the steps:

1. Visit www.indeed.com
2. Sign-Up
3. Upload Your Resume
4. Enter Job Title, Keyword or Company
5. Select Your Location
6. Click Search

Once you find job opening that catches your eyes, read the requirements, once you are convinced that you have what it takes to move forward and you are happy with the compensation. Click apply.

Now just because you applied doesn’t mean that you are going to get the job. You have to do further research and actually get the contact information of the person who is responsible for hosting the job application on indeed.

You can do that by simply calling the company and asking them who is in charge of recruiting a qualified person for the content writer position. 98% at a time you will be pointed out to this person and you can tell him that you have applied and you are interested in this opportunity. This will increase your chances to stand out from the crowd.

How to past a job interview?

Before you think about what you are going to wear the next day, there is something important you have to address immediately. The pre-interview preparation. What I mean by that, become familiar with the company and the person conducting the interview with you. This will do one thing, no lull in the conversation.

Don’t overdress when you show up to the interview. Try to identify companies dress code, go on their social media and see the type of shirts their employees wear. Once have an idea, find something that looks similar so the interviewer can feel that you are already part of the team. If you can’t find anything matching with the company colors than just dress casual.

Make sure you shut your phone down completely. First of all, it is rude and annoying but putting ir on vibration is also not good, silent.

During The Interview

Once you arrive at the scene walk with your head up, shoulders back to really demonstrate your confidence. Once you sit down with the interview man, maintain eye contact, present a strong handshake and smile.

When they ask you tell me about yourself? Here you have to plan out your focus and emphasize on relevant skills that you have.

When you are in a situation where interviewer asks a negative question. Try to stay positive and portray yourself as the positive light.

In the conversation focus on your skills, what you can implement immediately. Employers have one objective to know what you bring to the table and how fast can you implement everything.

Sell them your story, tell it in a way where you take them on the journey. Support all your claims of being the best candidate for the content writing position.

After The Interview

Make no mistake, after any job interview you always want to send a thank you note. The format of the note may depend on the type of company interview with but handwritten is always the best. It’s physical, its something you can feel and it’s personal.

Do not go on social media platforms talking about this. No matter how badly you want to go tweet or facebook status it, do not share any details of the interview on the Internet. The interviewer might be spying on you through the social media.

Example of how I got the content writer job

My background is in digital marketing and for while I was selling social media marketing services. I mean I’ve worked for many different digital marketing agencies in my career as a content writer so there is something there. A lot of credibility, I think I’ve written over 3k blogs a year. So I saw a job opening through indeed about content writer needed. I was curious and wanted to find out more information. I clicked on it, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was a job offer from Gary Vaynerchuk team for Veynermedia. They were looking for a content writer. I didn’t even hesitate and applied right away.

It was a online interview but this is how it went:

Top-notch written and oral communication skills

In my current position as director of communications, I create dozens of monthly blogs, internal communications, and run our weekly staff meetings. I’ve ghostwritten four articles which have made it onto Forbes, as well as for articles for London real, managed my own freelance writing side hustle, and published two books.

Good interview and copy editing skills

As a former newspaper reporter, I’ve conducted, transcribed, written and edited for a daily publication for two years. I had to cut my teeth on crime stories, out of town features, and local government pieces pretty early on, and have developed my skills as a reporter to where I’m confident, efficient and pretty intuitive, one-on-one.

Have a strong grasp of AP style and grammar

I use AP almost exclusively. It’s what I was taught, so it’s what I use as a standard.

Comfortable working under and meeting deadlines

I have and continue to work to tight deadlines. I like working under pressure and in a fast-paced work environment. It keeps me alert and on point every time. 

Can demonstrate strong knowledge of all major social media platforms

As a writer, I’ve created ad campaigns, blogs, editorials, and daily content for Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter. I also work pretty extensively with Google My Business profiles, and have scripted several TikTok shorts, although I feel it’s important to stay authentic and organic on this platform. By way of an example, I’d say Pinterest is one of the most underrated social media platforms out there to date.

In my position, I’ve worked on creating infographics that drive massive amounts of targeted traffic. With these infographics, we’ve been able to build relevant links that help increase organic rankings. Another platform, my personal favorite, on Reddit we had a client we were working with who had an eCommerce store selling organic vitamins and sleep aids. While the team was focused on launching ads on other saturated platforms. I focused on launching ads on targeted Reddit communities. We spent about $80k and revenued $1.8 million. There are so many examples I can provide but the main idea here is that, every platform is different, every platform has its own vibe and it’s important to understand that you can’t make content for Facebook and copy the same thing over to LinkedIn or Pinterest.

You have to create content that’s remarkable for your audience but at the same time fits in with the culture and vibe of different social media platforms. 

Experience with Google Analytics

Data is the single most important thing in the digital industry. I believe it’s important to know how to analyze data to really see if you’re targeting the right demographic. Otherwise you’re just wasting your time. Do we need to tweak something about our content to get the audience we need? What improvements do we need to make to really hit the target?  I know there are all of these other tools to track website performance but 80 of the % time, I end up dealing with Google Analytics as this is the most accurate data collection tool out there. I love how easily you can integrate it with other tools and platforms, so it’s a perfect solution.

I’ve used analytics to create reports for clients, helped run split test campaigns to determine how search users are searching for and using the website, which pages they’re visiting and their overall behaviour. I have a strong feeling for why high bounce rates occur and how to systematically go through a website to decrease bounce rates. 

Familiar with SEO performance metrics

The purpose of SEO is to rank a website organically in search engines for keywords, organically. Plain and simple. And it’s important to know how to effectively track your organic traffic to improve that SEO strategy. Bounce rate, organic conversion rate, the top existing pages for organic traffic, the breakdown of organic traffic from Bing, Yahoo and Google.

Click Through Rate is important as well, as well as how many pages are indexed through Search Console and how many are indexed through Bing search console. How many pages are crawled per day?

I can say that I have a pretty strong understanding of SEO performance metrics and can really dive deep into data to analyze performance, which makes my job more effective. 

Can write for different audiences and platforms

In my time working for digital marketing agencies, I have written content for industries ranging from Attorneys and Medical offices to Auto Dealerships, eCommerce clients, construction, blockchain and new and emerging cryptocurrencies.

Broad, deep knowledge of Gary Vaynerchuk’s content

Around 2017 is when I first saw my first video from Gary. This lady came up to Gary in a car and she asked him to give her three words to inspire her. You probably know this, but Gary said, “You’re gonna die.” I found that really inspiring and started following him on social media right away. I had a twisted idea once I saw how much content Garvey was producing about motivation. I started making some series of silly content about demotivational posters, it was a parody but that really comes from a place where I was just watching SO MANY GV videos that it was all I was thinking about.

Tell me about yourself

I am a creative content creator. I bring adaptability and strong research skills to the table for my job. I always say I could work for an attorney tomorrow and probably beat out their entire research team. I have a solid understanding of SEO and where modern day technology is headed. I am organized and I can get laser focused on all my objectives. I work well under pressure and a fast paced work environment. I can meet all my deadlines and effectively communicate with those who are creating my objectives. I can edit, I can deliver quality and I stay up to date with the latest trends. 

I worked with a few digital marketing agencies as a senior copywriter over the last ten years, creating all sorts of content. I worked with Marketing 180 in Washington as a managing editor for their content and The Hoth In Tampa Florida. Then, two years ago, I moved to Orlando, Florida. I currently work as the director of communications for a Orlando-based digital marketing agency.

Before all this, I got my start in content writing with an in-house position in Cape Town South Africa, before shifting over to agency work pretty early on. I also did investigative journalism and reporting for a daily newspaper.

Now I am looking for opportunities to grow. I want to be part of a company that has a bigger mission than itself. And I am willing to hussle, to do the work to prove myself for the position. I don’t believe things should be given, I think things should be earned and I carry that work with me into every job as part of my goal to achieve success. 

Experience and how it would apply to Vaynermedia

My content writing experience has been for digital marketers, first and foremost, since 2010. With hundreds of blogs under my belt across WordPress, LinkedIn, and custom CRMs, I’ve developed a quick, thorough research technique and the writing acumen to create something with it quickly and painlessly. With so much content being generated at Vaynermedia, daily, this alone makes me a perfect fit.

I recently hemmed a project for a customer who needed 78 product pages done and written up in a week. I currently have one assistant, and we hired a freelancer, and we got it done. When I am invested in a project, I do my best work, and Vaynermedia? Well that seems like an easy place to invest in. I can really take your content production to the next level.

Tell me about a time when you and your boss disagreed on something

As the creative director, my boss and I disagree a lot. Never clash. But often disagree. The best solution is always communication. I’m not obnoxious, but I also force myself to speak up when the heart of a project is at stake. There have also been times when I’ve had my eyes opened to something I wasn’t considering. So long as, in the moment, you make the effort to speak, you’ll have done your part.

I’ll give you an example of when I got into a disagreement with my boss. One of our clients who was a gym, came to us and said we are targeting the age demographic of 21 to 30 year olds to join our gym. The gym membership was $100 a month and they were trying to target rich people’s neighborhoods. 

My boss said we are going to launch ads on Facebook to achieve this. I disagreed, two months later the client was about to cancel with us. My boss said we are going to try Instagram ads, I also disagreed. I thought we could either use LinkedIn or Snapchat to achieve this. Because these are the two platforms that allow you to target people by the Zip Code they live in. We could target rich neighborhoods using the rich zip codes. I got the hot girl to say, I’ll give you an example of how my message went, “Hey Orlando, Cool Gym is offering a free class today at 4, you can bring up to 5 friends, swipe up to sign up”.

It was a simple message but let me tell you man, we had 200+ new people show up at the gym every week and sales guys would sell them once they worked out. My boss gave me a raise after that but, before I try to bring up anything to anyone I have done extensive research and looked at case studies, learned everything about it and suggested it. But yeah that was one of the examples of many others. 

What are your biggest strengths?

Communication, writing, editing, research and consistency. I prefer to get through a problem with as little left over as possible, and I work twice as hard in the moment to make sure that happens in the long run. I am also a fast learner, so I can adapt to new situations, overcome challenges and really solve problems. 

What are your biggest weaknesses?

I can have trouble asking for help. 

Conclusion

The interview went pretty good, these are some examples of answer I provided my qualifier with. I followed up with the thank you letter and week later he called me and told me that I was in.

My suggestion to you will be if you don’t get the job don’t give up. Apply for another. Use more resources than just Indeed, you can go to craigslist. You have so many more websites where you can find fresh jobs. In the meanwhile you hunt the job, work as a freelancer on Fiverr, Upwork, freelencer or digital marketing forum.

So follow these steps, stay focused and you will be one step ahead of everyone.

ALSO READ: Why You Should Use TikTok For Your Business

Social media is a good way to advertise your business or brand. Since the advent of the digital age, websites such as Facebook, YouTube, Google and Instagram have helped businesses get the word out about their products and services. The latest social media website to do this is TikTok.

You may ask: “What is TikTok good For? The answer is squarely rooted in entertainment. If you are familiar with this website, it’s pretty quite likely that you are the parent of a teenager or know one fairly well. TikTok is a video sharing website often frequented by members of Generation Z. Over forty percent of the users are in this age group, and they all flock there to be entertained.

But is there more to it?

Uncharted Waters

One exciting thing about TikTok is that it is relatively uncharted territory for businesses, as the app has only recently begun hosting advertisements.

Now may be the time to get your brand out there on this new platform. However, you may wonder what the particular advantages of this app are when it comes to advertising your business.

TikTok is a relaxed website that does not have restrictively high standards. Therefore, you can feel free to be yourself. If you are a relatively new business, you may find this freeing.

In addition, TikTok does not have the same saturation as Facebook or other social media websites. If you are trying to market to younger consumers, this website will be ideal due to the generally younger ages of those using it.

Navigating Uncharted Waters

If you have decided to advertise on TikTok, you may wonder how to do so. Each website has its own requirements for advertisers. The four types of advertising on TikTok are infeed native content, brand takeovers, hashtag takeovers, and branded lenses.

Infeed native content has the same requirements as any other TikTok video. That is to say, it plays in full screen and can last up to fifteen seconds. It is also skippable.

A brand takeover is a full-screen ad that appears on the site. It can be up to three or five seconds long, with images clocking in at three seconds, whereas gifs can be up to five seconds long. Since these are short, they are also more memorable. It is also full-screen, so this kind of ad can really grab a viewer’s attention.

A hashtag takeover is when you create a hashtag for your business with a challenge and a prize attached. Like with so much on TikTok, this appeals to a younger crowd. You can also have filters with your brand on it. 

How To Use TikTok For Your Business?

Now, if you use TikTok correctly, you can introduce your brand, product or services to a huge audience. In fact, they have over 500 million active users, worldwide, a number which is rapidly growing, day by day, surpassing other social media platforms along the way.

All of this is not even mentioning the fact that TikTok was the most downloaded app just in 2018. You might think TikTok couldn’t possibly be right for all types of businesses out there, but that’s actually not true. Anyone can create something out of nothing. The smallest things turn into the most interesting stuff on this app. With this being said, any type of business can benefit from the use of this app. You just have to be willing to get a little creative.

Don’t forget to read this great article on: TikTok and Advertising: What You Need To Know

Understand How The Platform Works

Instead of heading onto this app, head first, take some time to study the platform. The last thing you want to do is look like you don’t know what you’re doing. This happens to many people, and then confusion settles in and, eventually, people give up on the platform, resulting in absolutely zero visibility.

To avoid getting rejected by users on TikTok, you will have to first understand how the platform actually works. Basically, the type of content that works and how to interact with others as well as where your business fits in the best. That is all crucial information.

Please: do not mistake TikTok for one of those serious “pitch me a deal” type apps, because it’s not. TikTok is all about fun and visually appealing content so, if you simply take a look at the content that’s trending on the app through their trending section, you will find tons of videos with overlaid hit songs.

Find your industry through hashtags targetted to your brand and see what kind of content there already is, available. Then get creative and show your work culture, products or services in a fun way that people can enjoy.

Types of Advertisements on TikTok

There are three ways to promote your business on this platform.

1. Buying TikTok advertisements
2. Getting influencers to get the word out there for your business
3. Creating your own organic content

Creating Fun Content For Your Business

Since this app is all about fun and creativity, it’s time for you to start creating more of that fun for others to enjoy. Creating your own organic content is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to promote your business through TikTok.

One thing you will truly love about TikTok is that you don’t need high-quality content for it to get some attention. The app was designed to make everything through your phone. So all you gotta do is pull up your smartphone and get creating.

Ride The Trending Waves

This is another great way your business can gain some exposure. Every week there is something new trending on Tiktok and its various hashtags. You can check what’s trending and create videos using the trending hashtags to gain some visibility.

Use Influencers to Get The Word Out There

Although TikTok influencers are not as big as the other social media influencers (yet), keep in mind: TikTok is getting up there and has a lot of momentum right now. This creates opportunities to work with influencers more easily than ever before. It is easier to get a hold of influencers and they do not charge as much as they might on other social media platforms.

Do not go and pay every influencer that you see. If you do that, you are not gonna get results. In fact, there was a girl on Instagram with over two million followers. An eCommerce brand that sells t-shirts paid her $10,000 to promote their shirts. Guess how many people came back to their site and bought t-shirts? Sadly, only 36. A complete waste of money, not because influencer marketing isn’t worth it, but because their followers were in a totally different niche.

So, if you go on a quest to find influencers to promote your brand, make sure they have a targeted audience who are actually interested in their products or services. This way, you will ensure not throwing your marketing dollars down the drain.

Is TikTok Worth It For Your Business?

Since TikTok is relatively new, it is especially fertile for the business world. The platform is not saturated, like Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat. It is way cheaper to advertise on than other platforms. It also allows you to explore new aspects of your brand, such as turning everything you do into fun and interesting content. It allows you to turn fun into dollars.

It helps you put your feet into the shoes of Gen Z, and will become more and more important to adapt to as it gains speed. Marketing your business on this app is not hard. Supply the demand of your audience and you will win them over, every time.

Solar Power. This expression is everywhere. With so much buzz in the media these days about solar power technology probably has most of the public wanting it or at a minimum, inquiring about it. Solar power in general, should be easy to sign up for, but not too quick to give the green light, there are both advantages and disadvantages of solar power. 

Since this process is still fairly new in the marketplace, there is much to still learn and educate ourselves on. One needs to ask if it will serve a better purpose over the typical grid choice. Unfortunately, with every situation, the answer will be a different outcome, pursuant to the desires and needs of the customers. Thus, making a general blanket statement, is just not applicable here.

Advantages Of Changing To Solar

For environmentally, eco-friendly consumers, this is certainly the desired power source of choice. Solar power is a renewable source, therefore, not leaving behind much of a high carbon footprint, as its competitors. It is one of the best clean energy options out in the public market today.

Also an advantage for changing to solar is the fee-free cost once you get past installation and equipment costs. There is no electric bill and requires very little, if none at all, maintenance and is reliable for years to come. 

Disadvantages of Changing to Solar

The major disadvantage, and most likely the main reason solar panels aren’t on every home in America, is the cost to install and the equipment. Assuming most people don’t have the upfront discretionary funds to make sense of this, causes many to shelf their decision to a later date. Thus, sticking with the traditional power grid option. 

Also, when considering solar power, buying a battery back-up, while at an additional cost, is a must. This will be necessary since it stores energy and in power outages, will offer the consumer piece of mind. 

The space needed for the panels and equipment, while not highly important, will affect some homeowners ability to support the space needed.

He would collect and sell bugs to American tourists visiting his city, bringing home an income through his savvy business work.

Failing to follow these guidelines can be dangerous as well as costly when something goes wrong.

Incorrect Classifications

There’s a misconception that companies can pick and choose whether to classify their employees as exempt or non-exempt. The Department of Labor has extremely specific rules outlining exempt and non-exempt positions.

Always remember, menial jobs don’t mean the people working them are exempt from being paid overtime. Their job duties and rate of pay factor into it, all contributing to whether the employee is exempt or not.

By way of an example, a manager might assume that their accounting clerk is fulfilling some sort of white-collar position and that they’re somehow exempt. When a person fulfilling a job has no decision-making authority, however, it’s actually more likely the position is non-exempt and, therefore, eligible for overtime compensation.

These classifications are important because record-keeping and timesheets will differ, based on your employee’s status.

Incorrect Hiring Paperwork

This may be one of the simples processes that many companies forget to check every year. The correct eligibility-to-work documents are crucial to hiring a viable employee, and failing to record or document them can get you into hot legal water.

Before filing any paperwork, make sure to get dates and signatures confirming eligibility documentation in the form of the I-9. More often than you’d expect, employees fail to provide the correct supporting documentation, intentionally or not. A driver’s license or social security card may be necessary, but if the employer doesn’t request them, they’ll go by the wayside.

Ignoring Safety Regulations

Being a business owner doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be good at managing all of the red tape of the various important onsite regulations. You’ll have to review the State and Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules, specifically, to see how they to your business, employees and office space. The General Duty Clause requires employers to provide a location free of perceived risks to all employees, regardless of the size of the business.

Not Complying With Rapid Growth

Rapid growth sounds like something good and it often is. More employees means more work, which means a better shot at increasing your output and targeting more paying customers. During these fortunate periods of growth, however, it can be easy to get wrapped up in your successes and forget that more employees also means more exposure to compliance.

The cost of compliance, for instance, leads to businesses reclassifying workers as independent contractors, in an attempt to stay below the 50-person bar. Employees, however, can’t claim to be contractors with the same responsibilities as full-timers, however, without violating Labor Code regulations. Unpaid internships, similarly, are usually non-compliant according to the Department of Labor, making this a risky tactic as well.

Not Staying Current

Of all the HR mistakes a business leader could make, failing to keep up with the latest regulations that apply to the organization. Agency and employment laws have changed tremendously in the last few years, alone, and this isn’t a trend. It’s the industry, and you should stay aware of the latest policies managing:

• sick leave
• employee privacy
• employment regulations
• workplace safety and health standards
• salary regulations
• requirements for records management
• overtime laws
• discrimination and sexual harassment laws
• leave acts according to your region
