Shooting for Stellar ResumesYou stressed out and really need to get a job as soon as possible. You have responded to many online job ads and uploaded your resume to a number of recruitment web sites, but no one is calling to invite you for an interview.

One of the main reasons might be a lack of resume keywords.

Keywords are specific words or phrases used to describe an applicant’s skills or experience. They are often specific buzz-words that are used in a particular industry. Most companies use applicant tracking software, which scans resumes for keywords relating to experience, job titles, skills, training, and degrees. Resumes WILL NOT show up in a search unless they contain the exact words or phrases that the employer is searching for. Most Fortune 1000 companies and many smaller companies now use these technologies.

democrats-vs-republicansPolls and recent election results in Massachusetts are showing that Americans are gradually losing trust in government to fix the unemployment problem.  Many Americans consider Washington too preoccupied with partisan politics, where positions or a political party are often put before the issues that really matter to the American people. The recent loss of the Massachusetts Senate seat may be a wakeup call for Democrats and President Obama in particular, who campaigned on a slogan of change in Washington.  Most Americans agree that there hasn’t been much of a change when it comes to bipartisanship on Capitol Hill.

With Democrats loosing their super-majority in Senate, we may now be seeing attempts to change the course.  Leading Senate Democrats have just unveiled a new agenda to focus on job creation with first votes on additional legislation expected on Monday.  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) did not elaborate on the details of the legislation but emphasized that Democrats are seeking bipartisan support:  “We don’t agree on everything, but we certainly agree on the fact that we’re going to move forward on a jobs agenda. That’s why we’re here and we will have a vote on a jobs bill on Monday.” Reid said.

Don’t get stuck in this office after the interview. I hope those were not people really looking for a job. I would not joke with unemployed looking for source of income.



 



soliderToday’s U.S. Military has thousands of jobs for every possible profession and field.  Military jobs are reliable and are becoming lucrative for many young men and women who have troubles finding civilian jobs in this economy.

Perhaps, the biggest common misconception of a military career is that you have to be a combat soldier fighting out in the field. The truth is that military is offering a much wider scope of careers than many people realize, many are out of harm’s way. Nevertheless, without doubt a military career isn’t for everyone; you have to be audacious and venturesome; it also requires self-discipline, intense physical work and time away from your family and friends.

The military distinguishes between enlisted and officer careers. Enlisted personnel make up about 82 percent of the U.S. Armed Forces. They carry out the fundamental operations of the U.S. Military: combat, administration, construction, engineering, healthcare, human services, and other areas. Officers, who make up the remaining 18 percent of the Armed Forces, are the leaders, supervising and managing activities in every occupational specialty.

I want your resumeAs the United States continues to finance military operations abroad and national bankruptcy at home, the government is on a search for a solution to financing of the trillions in national debt currently held by foreign investors. Economists know that the dollar days, as the world reserve currency, are numbered, as well as, our ability to finance the national debt.

Historically hyperinflation has always been the solution to unsustainable debt, but there always can be an intermediate step to buy more time for the people in power. The largest source of wealth that can be used for that purpose is the trillions of dollars in private retirement funds.

Business Week, Bloomberg, and CNBC all recently alluded to the possible nationalization of trillions in private US retirement plan assets and their forced investment into treasuries. Mandatory IRAs proposed by Obama Administration last month could be the first step in stealth nationalization of our retirement benefits to support the treasury debt market. It is only a proposal at this time, but keep in mind, the government is in desperate need for revenue to monetize their debt obligations.

frustrated_job_search2When stress is unresolved, prolonged or too overwhelming, it can KILL YOU, even if you are unaware of it, which is most of the time. There are many ways and approaches to reduce the negative impact of stress on our health. One of them is the correct selection of food. A bar of chocolate or an ice cream may sweeten our mood for the moment, but in the long term they can cause major damage and make us even more prone to stress. Geise, a registered dietitian and a spokesperson for American Dietetic Association, says: “Sugar causes your blood sugar to spike and then fall quickly, which can make your energy level dip. Then you’re low energy and stressed and that’s not a good picture.”

Ahhh...The Scent Of MoneyWith the tax season kicking off, if you are unemployed or were unemployed in 2009, you want to make sure not to miss out on many deductions and exemptions available this year.  To help you navigate this year’s returns, we have put together this checklist of things to keep in mind. We recommend that you carefully study this list of the deductions and credits to which you may be entitled because of your unemployed status, before filing tax returns this year.

Here are some of the things to keep in mind:

2009 Stimulus Package for Unemployed

This year you can enjoy reduced taxes on unemployment income. Normally, individuals receiving unemployment benefits must report them as income and pay income tax on them. The 2009 bill signed by President Obama makes the first $2,400 of unemployment income nontaxable.

frustrated-job-searchAny job loss is a very stressful life event, not just for the unemployed individual, but also for their spouse and for the entire family.  If a family member loses their job, it affects the entire family and every family member has to deal with the loss and the emotions that come with it. Job loss brings along worries about getting through the tough times, uncertainty in the future, and sometimes frustration and even fear.

Even though they may not show it, men who lost their job, could actually be more affected emotionally than women.  As old-fashioned as it may sound, many men still consider themselves to be primary providers, and a job loss for a man could lead to a serious depression, anxiety and a major blow to their self-esteem.

Do you wear happy socks to work?Pay freezes, layoffs and cost cutting strategies do not improve employee’s morale. A recent survey shows that over 22 percent of workers want to change jobs as soon as it will be possible. Companies might end up paying up to three times a worker’s annual salary to cover the cost of recruiting and training, as well as, due to the productivity loss.

Losing critical employees have always been an issue for employers. When the job market improves, more workers will seize the opportunity to jump ship. Employees with important skills will leave first. Though it probably won’t happen before the jobless rate falls to its normal value, which is not expected during this and even next year, it is now a good time to take proactive steps to retain the most valuable employees.
