How Multi-associations Work Contact(s) + Job(s) + Companie(s)

How Multi-associations Work Contact(s) + Job(s) + Companie(s) Probably bad grammar to write companie(s) but I wanted to be consistent with the (s) Anyway Kimberley writes: I cannot seem to figure out how to associate jobs with contacts and contacts with jobs.  I just see “associate documents. A couple of things to know: Associate Documents: This is to associate documents youve entered into the Documents Manager (either upload or associated with Dropbox).  When you do this you can see a report of how many times youve associated (or, used) that document.  So, you can see that youve used your general resume 17 times and where, and when.  You can see youve used your product manager resume 42 times and when and where. We call the ability to associate multiple Jobs and Companies to one Contact, or multiple Companies and Contacts to one Job, or multiple Contacts and Jobs to one Contact multi-associations. For example: One Contact can be associated to her current and past Companies, and can be associated to three jobs that she interviewed you for, or recommended. One Company can have multiple job openings, and have multiple Contacts associated to it. One Job can be for multiple Companies (the hiring company, and perhaps the recruiters company, if you are tracking all of the jobs that a recruiters company is sending your way) and be associated to multiple people (the recruiter, and all of the people who did the panel interview last week). In the example below, (1) is for associating documents which is not what we are talking about in this post. (2) is for associating one or more Companies, and (3) is for associating one or more Jobs. To add multiple associations to this Contact, simply mouse over where the data would be, and the box turns gray double click the gray box, like this: When you double-click the gray box, you can either enter a Job that you already have in the system, and it will show in the dropdown, or you can enter a job that is new to JibberJobber, and it will be (1) added as a new Job record and (2) associated to this Contact.  After I double-clicked the gray box (above), I entered Product Manager, and there was no dropdown to choose from when I clicked the Done button, it saved Product Manager as a new Job, and it is now associated to this Contact, like this: Note that there is a 1. by the Product Manager job, and a 1. by Toyota, a few lines up.  This means that these are the first associations for Jobs and Companies.  If I add another Job, there will be two (obviously). I just need to double-click the gray box again to do that, and repeat the instructions from above. Once I double-click the gray box, youll see up/down icon that you can drag to reorder. So, I might have Toyota and Kia and American Express as three associated Companies on this Contact record, and I can reorder them to whatever makes most sense. Multi-associations were an important addition to JibberJobber because this is how the real world works. and is a great addition to JibberJobber, helping you to more accurately organize and track what you are doing.

What to Expect in Your First Year as a Graduate

What to Expect in Your First Year as a Graduate No matter how prepared a new graduate is, the first year or two following college is almost designed to be a tumultuous time. For many graduates, the year post-graduation is the first year they have ever been totally independent. For others, and especially in today’s challenging job market, they may graduate only to find themselves living back at home in their old bedroom, still dependent upon their parents for support until they find a job. Navigating First Year As A Graduate Others, however, see graduation from college as a cue to marry their college sweetheart and begin family planning, even as they just get their feet wet in the job market. Some graduates will wake up a month after graduation and find themselves living in a new city, having to learn their way to the grocery store at the same time they learn how to navigate the Monday morning sales meetings. No matter how you slice it, the first year after graduation, in particular, is going to be an interesting ride. Learn here how to best prepare for a year like you have likely never had before in your life â€" and never will again. Be Realistic The number one predictor of success in the first year following graduation from college is to be realistic about your goals. If you are like most graduates, your priorities will necessarily revolve around finding a job, beginning to make payments on student loans, getting settled in a place of your own (possibly in a new city) and getting used to your new work schedule. None of these elements on their own will likely cause an undue amount of stress, but when combined together, it is understandable that your stress level may be heightened for a time in a way you haven’t experienced before. So be realistic; don’t push yourself to get a promotion or pay off your student loans in that first year. Don’t expect to have the same kind of lifestyle that your older relatives or colleagues enjoy right away. It takes time to get financially and professionally settled, so be sure to give yourself the first couple of years after graduation to explore all of your options. Take these factors i nto consideration: Your possible interest  in going back for an advanced degree. The level of satisfaction  with the career you chose or the facet of your field that you are working  in Your feelings  about  the  city you live in and other  various  elements. Remember:   it’s not just your career choices alone that contribute to your overall quality of life. If you do find that you are not enjoying your field and you want to return for an advanced degree, it’s important to remember that many Master’s programs are now offered online. So if you want to get more education in the field of management, for instance, you can take a Master of Science in Management online  and this will allow you to continue working part- or full-time during the day. Take Care of Business Beyond being realistic about what you can accomplish, the other important element to not just surviving, but thriving in your first few years out of college is to take care of business, so to speak. Little neglected things, such as student loan payments, starting to save for the future, continuing to assess the job market and apply for other positions within your company or at other firms can quickly add up to big things if you do not take care of them. If you are struggling to find a job you can enjoy and the bills are piling up, then that is a priority. You might have several options, including brushing up on your interviewing skills, signing on with a recruiter to help market you to employers, returning for an advanced degree in your field or, if necessary, applying for a deferment or forbearance on your student loan payments . Graduating from college is a sign that you have matured and have made your rite of passage into the world of independent living. However, this does not mean you won’t struggle or need help from others, especially during the first few years. So be realistic, take care of business and ask for help when its necessary, and just take it step-by-step and you will come through successfully.

What is a Certified Professional Resume Writer, and Why Hire One

What is a Certified Professional Resume Writer, and Why Hire One Very often I get a funny look after I share what I do for a living. “You write resumes??” people ask me, slightly confused or sympathetic. Yes, I do. Not only do I dedicate myself to writing crucial job search documents, I am one of an elite few Certified resume writers in Canada   pioneering into this niche as the first CPRW in Calgary and the very first Certified Executive Resume Master (CERM) in Canada. In addition to resume creation for senior professionals, I also offer job search and interview support as a Certified Employment Strategist (CES) and a Certified Employment Interview Professional (CEIP).

Obtaining resume certifications involves commitment, talent, and a thorough understanding of the job seeker’s greatest marketing tool; the resume. Certified resume writers have to pass tough examinations and submit samples of work for examination by a panel of seasoned judges. After sharing the above, people might then ask me: “Why would someone hire a certified resume writer to write their resume? Aren’t resumes pretty easy to write? Why would I pay someone to do this for me?”Again, good questions. I ask in return for people to consider why they hire a variety of professionals to assist them. For example, why hire a mechanic to fix your car? Why hire a plumber to fix your leaky pipes? Even more basic, why visit a hairdresser to get your hair professionally done? The answer is simple: to ensure the job gets done right. Certified resume writers are skilled in a critical piece of the job search process, and at what value would you place your job or your career? Pretty high I am sure. That dream job you want: why risk not getting it because your resume did not meet the current standard or make the best impression with the recruiter! In parting, I pose these questions to all job seekers: is your resume adequate or is it outstanding? Are you completely confident your resume will get you the interview? Finally, are you sure your resume will stand out from the crowd, displaying current trends and appropriate keywords that will make a connection with the employer? If not, hiring a certified resume professional would be a valuable and wise investment for you.
