10 Transferable Skills For Job Searching

With national unemployment moving higher each passing month, candidates encounter significant competition for jobs. No matter what career field you are (or were) working in, there is undoubtedly knowledge and skill you possess that could appeal across many industries and fields. Do not limit yourself. Identify those skills and look for them at potential future employers. Following is a list of skill areas having broad application:


Cop Study Guide

I wanted to share with you a cop study guide to help you with the whole process of getting involved in the law enforcement and passing the mandatory tests that you are required too. A lot of people walk into the test thinking it"ll be easy because they studied. The fact is that it is hard and only 30% of the people pass it. The reason it is hard is due to the fact that it is different from anything you would of normally taken. High school tests would measure aptitude, but since you"re going to be a police officer, they need to see a lot more understanding than aptitude. I"m going to share with you a bit of a cop study guide to help you pass. One of the first things you"re going to need to do is memorize the spelling of common police diction, such as misdemeanor. The reason is that they need people that have good writing skills and you"re not going to have a speller checker with you in the test. It"s also important that you avoid studying with a group of friends that are going to be taking the exam too. I know it seems smart being able to pull information from a lot of brains, but something I"ve noticed is collective ignorance. One person (that is more dominant with the group) will end up promoting something wrong and everyone has a wrong answer. The cop study guide will require you to think in terms of how you"ll apply your information, rather than the memorization. Knowing how to apply behavioral regulations to common and not so common situations is exceptionally important.


One Page Vs. Two Page Resumes

Generally if a person is applying for a job in the trades in Canada or the United States, a one page resume will suffice. However, if you have many years of experience, numerous courses and qualifications, or other crucial pieces of information you wish to share, then by all means go on to the second page. On the other hand, if you do choose to use more than one page, make certain that you fill up almost, if not all, of the entire second page. If your writing only fills up a few lines or even just a quarter of a page, take out unnecessary or repetitive information, or change the formatting of the document to make everything fit neatly onto one page, while still ensuring that the text is legible and well spaced. Regardless of your experience and credentials, most employers in a trade will simply scan the first page of your document to make sure you meet their needs.

If applying for a teaching position, the desired length of a resume can vary depending on the Principal/ Superintendent or school district. If you are unable to identify whether a one page or two page resume would be better, seek advice from an insider, i.e. a recently hired teacher or an administrative member. If you still cannot find the answer and would prefer to err on the side of caution, create two separate resumes. Develop a two page document first and take out little extras or repeated information to condense it into a one page resume.

As far as other professions go, each employer may have a different preference. As long as you have included all pertinent information, without adding fluff or filler, you should not have to worry too much about length.Ҡ Regardless of the length of your resume, remember that it is not quantity that counts; it is quality. Always make certain that your documents showcase your experience, education, outstanding achievements, professional development, etc. These are the most important parts of a resume to worry about. If you are concerned about what kind of resume would suit you best, do not hesitate to contact a professional resume writer. They are trained to address your questions and concerns and develop a working document that is right for you.
