Article - Here’s an example of the perfect resume, according to Harvard career experts

Does your resume follow the advice listed in this article?  “Here’s an example of the perfect resume, according to Harvard career experts,” by Dustin McKissen, posted on CNBC.  I find that one of the most challenging tasks for candidates is tailoring the resume to each job.  It can be laborious; however, I agree that a quick review and update should be completed for each job.  At a very minimum, provide a cover letter that highlights your specific skills to the position.

Here’s the four items highlighted by the author.  Be sure to check out the article for more information.  Do you agree?

1. Tailor your resume
2. Include your contact information

Article - 12 Things Successful People Never Reveal About Themselves at Work

A challenge for us all - what to share, or not share on the job.  I've found that the philosophy on this ranges from "sharing too much" to "sharing too little."  This article on HuffPost, "12 Things Successful People Never Reveal About Themselves at Work" by Dr. Travis Bradberry, is a great summary of what not to reveal, with additional commentary on why.  Not to spoil your enjoyment of reading the article, but here are the first five, which are probably listed first for a reason.

1. That they hate their job
2. That they think someone is incompetent
3. How much money they make
4. Their political and religious beliefs
5. What they do on Facebook

Check out the article at the below link for all twelve things, and details on why the author feels successful people do not share these topics.
