Gilbert Garcin: résumé & synopsis (1999)

[bitchesgetriches]

Hypothetically if someone wanted to include their ability to schedule appointments, organize events and transportation, and meal plan and prep for their family on their resume how would they word that

We LOOOOOOVE the "how do I reframe unpaid labor on my resume" question. This is like Bitch bait.

Ok, so this sounds like you are an Organizational Specialist, or a Personal Assistant to a Head of Household, or an Organizational Consultant to a busy professional. List of responsibilities should include event planning, nutritional development, essential transportation, scheduling and booking, and administrative management.

Pick the corporate buzzwords that most fit with the job you're applying for, stare them directly in the eyes, and know that your unpaid labor for your family is VALUABLE WORK EXPERIENCE.

Here's more advice:

How to Frame Volunteering on Your Resume When You’ve Never Had a Job 

If this helped you out... tip us!

[thebubblesareevil]

Strap in Folks it’s time to learn some shit!

As HR manager at my job I have to look at A LOT of applications because we are primarily a seasonal job. We have busy seasons and slow seasons.

IM SO DONE WITH PEOPLE NOT KNOWING HOW TO ADVERTISE THEIRSELF!!!

Allow me to clarify.

If you take a break between jobs or couldn’t find a job

-did you do baby sitting?

-yard work for family members?

You didn’t have a gap!

Make a note of work history as landscaping or childcare!

Gaps in your employment never look good unless you also state you were in school!

If your previous job sucked and you only stayed there for about a week

- you never worked there

Don’t put on there that you only worked a week or lie about how long you worked there!

-I am absolutely allowed to call previous jobs and not only confirm you worked there and ask how long

-first assumption will always be that you were fired (sucks but it’s true). I don’t have any backstory so I won’t assume the job was at fault.

Resumes!

-Your resume should NEVER be tailored to the job you are applying for.

-this is supposed to be a basic outline of what you have done and what you can do

- I hate the autogenerated resumes from indeed because I have to go down a giant list that tells me you know how to use Microsoft 20 times in a different font.

- if you use indeed please submit an actual resume.

ASK SOMEONE TO READ OVER YOUR RESUME BEFORE SUBMITTING IT!!!!!

It never looks good if you misspell cashier or drink…repeatedly.

-keep it short! Unless you are going into a technical field that needs to know a full list of you certifications and the programs you can use, you want to keep it to 1 page. I need a summary, not a life story

SCHOOL IS NOT WORK EXPERIENCE! Do not put on there that you have 4yrs xp as a student!!!

Speaking of life stories

-do not leverage your kids for a job. If you tell me you have kids and it affects your availability that’s one thing. If you tell me you really need this job because you have kids, now you are using your kids to get a job and that’s not kosher.

Availability!

Do not lie about your availability!!!!

We ask for that for a reason! If you tell me you have open availability and you get hired, I will schedule you based on that availability. If you then tell me you are only available between the hours of 4pm-9pm….you aren’t getting scheduled and will be terminated.

-cannot and will not cater to your availability and schedule everyone else to accommodate your availability. That’s not fair to me or for coworkers.

Interviews!!!

-talk for the love of god, talk! If it’s a group interview, we want to see how involved you are. If it’s one on one, I want to learn about you!

-dress for success! even the most casual of jobs do not want you to show up in a tank top and shorts. You are here for a job not for a party 😭

Okay I think that’s all I need to rant about. There may be more when we hire again and the torture begins again.

Curriculum Vitae: The Story of My Life. AKA a Resumé.

Anyway. I changed mine up, used Google Doc’s temp[late. And All the callbacks dried up.

So today I reverted it back to a simpler layout, and… all of a sudden I’m getting responses.

I put this down to the software being used to triage CVs… So I decided to play clever.

Here’s my layout:

OK.

So you’re having to play silly games to get your CV in front of people. Most of the time it’s someone who’s not in the mood to plough through it all - So two pages is the best.

Once in a job, I watched the two senior IT staff go through a literal cardboard box of CVs and basically throw any away that were too hard to read, in a weird fond, didn’t vibe well…

And if you can add bullet points… do so. You’re appealing not to someone who’s picking your CV for it’s content, but how easy it was for them to read it.

OK at this point if anyone’s in HR or is an employment specialist, now’s your chance to suggest tweaks or call bullshit.

Prompt 9 - Resume

@jegulus-microfic July 9, Word count 406

Regulus hopped onto James’s lap where he sat on the little bench beneath a sunlit window on the sixth floor. It was in a corridor that wasn’t used regularly. The working classrooms were further up, so they were quite secluded. 

“I’ve missed you,” He sighed into James’s mouth as he wrapped his arms around his neck and leaned in. 

They’d been secretly meeting like this for months and kissing for less. James had grown on Regulus, slowly chipping away at the ice around his heart. How could he not be the man basically burned. No ice or cold, for that matter, stood a chance against the blazing sun that is James Fleamont Potter.

He nipped at James’s lips until he let him in and then relaxed into his favourite place. 

They hadn’t been there long when a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“What in Merlin’s name are you two doing?!” Sirius yelped, once he saw what they were up to. Regulus leaned away from James’s lips but didn’t move from his lap. 

“What does it look like we’re doing, Sirius?” Regulus sneered at his brother. “Now if you’re done gawping we can resume what we were doing before we were so rudely interrupted.” He turned back to James and stroked his poor startled face. He pressed a soft kiss on his cheek and spun to glare at his brother. 

He raised an eyebrow at Sirius, daring him to say anything more. 

“Me and you are having a nice long chat when you get back to the dorm, and don’t think about hiding, I’ll know where you are,” Sirius pointed a finger warningly at James, holding up an old piece of parchment as though it meant something. Then Regulus blinked and he was gone. 

“Did he just disappear?” He asked, his eyes flickering around the corridor.

“Er yeah, about that,” James said, finally breathing normally again. “Reg, there are a few things I should probably tell you about.” Regulus turned back around narrowing his eyes, before letting them soften again. 

“Can it wait? I have a feeling that utter pest will be back if we’re much longer, and I’d rather have a bit more fun with you before we talk about whatever just went on.” 

Mischief danced in James’s eyes as he dragged Regulus’s mouth back to his own. Regulus hummed happily as he sunk back into James’s warm arms, completely forgetting about their rude interruption.

How to answer tough interview questions.

Subscribing to the Harvard Business Review was one of the best decisions I made. I have learned so much about career development, personal branding, and job crafting. This article summarizes some of the questions you will get asked in a behavioral interview (courtesy of HBR) and I have included my responses to all of them. Assume I am seeking a HR role in a Fortune 500 company

Tell me about yourself and describe your background in brief?

How did you hear about this position?

What type of work environment do you prefer?

How do you deal with pressure or a stressful situation?

Do you prefer working independently or on a team?

How do you keep yourself organized when balancing multiple projects?

What did you do in the last year to improve your knowledge?

Tell me about yourself and describe your background in brief?

I grew up in small country in West Africa. I went to a great school through scholarship with the condition that I would pay it forward to the younger generation. So, after high-school I spent two years teaching math to elementary school kids. It was there I discovered my interest of people development. I enjoyed taking a kid from "I don't like math to can I get more homework? When I moved to the U.S for college I chose to study Psychology with a minor in Organizational Development. And my internship as a Human Capital Manager has allowed me to further develop my communication and leadership skills.

How did you hear about this position?

I learned about this position through Stacy Williams. She was one of the panelists on the fireside chat I convened in my school on the importance of women in leadership positions. I followed up with her through a coffee chat. She really enjoyed her job and the company culture. Her enthusiasm about her work encouraged me to apply and I am really excited to be going through the interview process.

What type of work environment do you prefer?

I thrive in environments where I am constantly learning. A place where each days brings a fresh set of challenges that I can solve. I also like working with teams where we can collaborate on tasks and brainstorm solution-oriented ideas. In my former internship I worked with an incredible team as a project manager in the human resources division and I worked on certain projects where I had full creative control on the outcome. I enjoyed the balance of both.

How do you deal with pressure or a stressful situation?

Stressful situations are inevitable and I learned to navigate them successful throughout my college career and my various internships. The first time I came across a stressful situation was in my Sophomore year. I worked as a customer service representative at a big department store and it was holiday season. You can imagine the amount of pressure - long lines of customers all waiting to get attended too. Instead of succumbing to the pressure I made sure to really understand the pain point of each customer which were long wait times and stock outs. If we were out of one brand of sparkling water, I would quickly recommend a different brand. If lines were long, I would go to the floor to help the bagging process. Customers left feeling satisfied with their shopping experience. Overtime, I have realized that the key to dealing with pressure is willingly choosing to complete the tasks with a positive mindset instead of worrying.

Do you prefer working independently or on a team?

I like a mix of both. I enjoy working on a team. The process of strategizing with my teammates on the best way to approach a problem allows for critical analysis and diverse points of view. Wh I also build camaraderie and trust with them while we tackle big problems. I enjoy working alone as well because I get to see how I approach different problems and compare my current performance to my previous ones. Working alone also gives me an opportunity to get feedback from my managers on my progress or areas of improvement. I like a balance of both.

How do you keep yourself organized when balancing multiple projects?

I am used to working on multiple projects. A typical semester for me is juggling between my classes, weekend job, extracurricular activities, and passion projects. So to stay on top of my deadlines and due dates I like to prioritize my tasks based on their level of urgency and importance. I use the time blocking method to schedule time for my projects. I take advantage of tools like Google calendar to keep track of due dates and appointments and Notion to manage big projects.

What did you do in the last year to improve your knowledge?

Last summer, I took some time off to really learn about veganism. It seemed intimidating at first because I did not know enough. So I turned to research to understand the facts. I began making home-cooked meals by following recipes from people I trusted and liked on YouTube. As I began noticing changes in my gut health and productivity levels, I started a blog to share my experiences. Now my blog has over 500 enthusiastic vegans who are on the same journey as I am. it was one of the best investment I made in myself.

I've been working on creating some nice looking, yet simple to edit, resume templates in my free time lately for anyone looking to apply for jobs!

These PDFs are very easy to fill out - simply import them to a PDF editor of your choice (such as the one included with Firefox) and fill in each field! You may need to alter the file a bit to ensure employers can't edit it, but I hope these are still accessible for those who need them 💕
