Resume Support I hold a session every Thursday for anyone interested on resume development. I get that you think you do not need this, but most people are doing resumes wrongly. A good resume anticipates the reader's questions and answers those in the order of important to the reader - so no...your education does not go first. Bold is used as an organizer - not as a Hey! Look at me!! An effective resume supports cognition. An effective resume has substance (very rare in a resume - and those stats you sprinkle on every bullet...they don't help. If you want to join my Thursday meeting, email me at [email protected].
关于我们
The KeelWorks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) approved nonprofit foundation dedicated to supporting upward mobility for everyone, but especially the economically disadvantaged. We support personal empowerment through peer supported leadership development, goal management, and mutual accountability. Our change model is based on the idea that together, we can do anything. Diversity, inclusiveness, emotional intelligence, and the power of community intelligence. Our program is under development, but even now we are supporting change through our intern program. Every program project is driven by students with education, but without the experience to qualify as a credible career candidate. We have coached hundreds of students and graduates in career skill application, coached resume development, and helped hundreds to meaningful employment. Since 2008, the foundation has operated with less than $1500 total funds. Expenses are paid by volunteers and corporate support. We benefit from software and systems support for systems and training development tools.

Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah from KeelWorks! I want to let everyone know how much I appreciate having you with us. The foundation is a village, and those who have been with us are raising this "child." Those who are here for the community are just as welcome. I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday. I might even take a few days off myself - though doing that only makes the pile bigger. Let's pray that the New Year is passible. Thomas

Five Common Resume Mistakes I have yet to see an effective resume from a recent graduate. Most are blindly following poor guidance. Most resumes are designed to tell what is important to the writer, instead of what is important to the reader. Here are the five most common mistakes: 1) Failure to anticipate the simplest reader questions, like "Do you want THIS job?" 2) Poor formatting; for example: using bold like a megaphone and offering lists in paragraph form. 3) Trumpeting your status as a student (hint: would a recent graduate your first hiring choice?). 4) Presenting information in an order that is inconsistent with reader priority (e.g., Education first). 5) Failing to explain in job bullets how you used the skills you claimed in your skills list.

We honor and celebrate diversity. We believe that with diversity, we are more agile because we have greater perspective. Just as important as diversity is full inclusion. We believe that everyone can work, that there is a role for everyone, and that we all need to work. We are committed to an environment that welcomes everyone and where everyone feels valued. #diversity #inclusion #equality #keelworks #nonprofit #employment

?? Crummy Job of the Week Award goes to Insight Global for their EVS Director position in Burien, WA. The role offers $37/hr - $40/hr with on-site contract work. However, it raises questions - especially about the title and compensation structure. It's important to consider the mismatch when a company seeks a "Director" as a contract worker. Moreover, if the Director role pays less than regular field workers, it may signal a lack of appreciation or respect for the position (or they're just short on cash). #JobSearch #CareerInsights #LinkedInPost
