    Time Management - Profitability's Next Of Kin
    You’re an every man (or woman) you can handle it all because you have to, you call yourself a small business owner. Maybe your title is CEO, President, Founder, Executive Director, but no matter what it is you want one simple truth, you want your company to be profitab

    Great Leaders Make New Leaders
    How will your group function when you are no longer there? This is one of the classic questions for assessing the success of a leader. It is not good enough that you improved the department while it was under your guidance. What matters is that the group is able to sus
    Recruiters like Microsoft Word. 'Nuff said. Use it!

    Not a computer expert? You might not be, but I'll bet you have a computer. Most households have one. And most households have somebody under 20 who has used Word roughly since birth (I've used it since 1987 and I was born way before then). You've got a consultant!

    Haven't used Word before? It is a vital job skill. Learning it will bolster your resume, and help you create it at the same time. Two birds with one stone. That's efficient job training.

    And here are the basics you need to know to create a good resume:

    • Start the program, probably from an icon at the lower left of the screen, or maybe from the "Start" menu.
    • Word will open with a brand new, blank document. Odds are good that the default "font" (or typeface for the text you type) is set to "Times New Roman". Fantastic! That's what most recruiters expect to see, and it's what you get for free.

          Leading Change - Getting People on Board
          Leading change is a tough assignment. People are much more comfortable with the status quo than with disrupting their working lives. It’s nothing personal about you, the change leader; it’s a problem of personal change. The first thing to understand is that there is no

        • Now you've got a fancy typewriter. Start typing.
        • Every few minutes (not every few hours), go to the File menu and choose "Save". The first time you do that, you'll have to name the file. I suggest something like "your.name.resume.doc". Recruiters like that. It's easy to identify the document when they search through the hundreds they have to look at.

        If you've seen some nice samples, make yours look like that.

        That's it. I'm not kidding.

        And if you're a Word expert, hold your visual creativity in check. Don't use fancy fonts, graphic bullets (beyond the somewhat graphical ones available as standard options), tables, etc.

        Yes, I use table almost everyday in Word, but you should avoid them for online resume distribution. Recruiters sometimes use software to grab resume content and put it in databases. Tables make that purgatory for them. And they'll likely pitch your resume.
