Beauty Secrets From Julia Roberts' Stylist

By Julyne Derrick

I got a copy of Elle's December issue and inside is a wonderful little interview with Genevieve Herr, the New York-based makeup artist behind Julia Roberts' fabulous red carpet looks. Some highlights from the interview which you can use in your life:

• Play with eyeliner colors. Herr says she tries a coppery brown on Julia's upper lids with a gold liner on bottom. Or she may try a gray above with silver liner below. She tends to use pencil liners.
• Julia looks great with a pale lip. Herr masters it by always using lip liner the color of one's lip, blending the line inward (lip liner helps lipstick "stick"). She then applies a light lipstick with a pop of gloss in the middle of the lip.
• For the perfect smokey eye, Herr shares a great Kohl eyeliner tip: if eyes are close-set draw in lines on the upper and lower lids, allowing them to meet on the outer corner of the eyes. Wide-set eyes should have lines that meet on the inside corners. For big eyes like Julia's she brings the lines together on both the inside and outside.

When They Require Experience and You Have None

How to overcome a catch-22 that almost every new college grad faces

by Tara Weiss, Forbes.com

Lack of experience is often the biggest obstacle college graduates must overcome when entering the job market. Prospective employers can sound like a broken record, saying over and over, "You don't have enough experience"--followed by the devastating "We'll call you" (especially last year, when only 19.7 percent of graduates had a job lined up after graduating). So how do you get your foot in the door--how do you gain experience if you don't have any already?

Many new grads already have what recruiters are looking for. They just need to recognize it and package it properly in their resumes and cover letters. To begin with, think of experience you gained before you entered "the real world" that could apply. Consider including all the things you did during college, even those you wouldn't have considered job experience at the time.

"Off-the-job" training
Bill Warner, director of sales and recruiting at the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, oversees all the hiring of interns and recent graduates for sales and operations positions there. He says one of the best resume/cover letters he's seen recently came from a woman who described how her position as rush chair at her sorority had given her the leadership and project-management skills she needed to work at AstraZeneca. She told of the unique challenges of dealing with rush rules that were changed that year, as well as how she managed the process, calculated how many new members to bring in, and got all the other parts of the job done as well.

Warner, impressed, offered her a job even though she had never worked in pharmaceutical sales. "They do have experience, but they struggle with the bridge from what they've done in college, how to link it to the position they're interested in," he says.

Build bridges
To identify that bridge, look at the skills you displayed and tasks you pulled off in your college exploits. One applicant hurt his chances by failing to emphasize being editor in chief of his university's newspaper, Warner says. That activity involved numerous duties employers consider valuable experience, such as managing a staff, working with outside vendors, and balancing the newspaper and schoolwork.

When you interview with potential employers and the issue of experience comes up, be prepared with an answer that doesn't dwell on past jobs (or lack thereof)."Don't stress your work experience as much as your skill set," says Tarek Pertew, cofounder and director of marketing at the career website MyWorkster.

Educate yourself
When college experiences and your skill set aren't enough, try brushing up on a job's specific requirements, Pertew says. If you repeatedly hear that you lack a specific technical skill for the jobs you want, take classes to gain that competency. Add those classes to your resume as you continue your job search. "It shows that you have ambition," she says.

Volunteering pays
Another way to gain technical competence is by volunteering your professional skills in the service of a nonprofit. The monetary perks might not be there, but the equally important networking perks will be. For instance, if you're looking for a position in public relations or marketing, volunteer to help an organization in those areas. You'll expand your circle of networking contacts, gain valuable experience, and learn the trade. Ask the professionals you work with if they know of any opportunities in your field or anyone you should meet, and try to add to your skill set while you're at it.

Volunteering anywhere improves your resume, but if you can work with a nonprofit that has connections to a company you want to work for, that's even better. It shows you've done your homework about the firm, and it's a way to network your way to employees already there.

Consider temp work
Also, apply for temp work at staffing agencies that place people in your intended field. That way, you can gain experience and meet professionals to further add to your networking circle, and a temp job can sometimes lead to full-time work.

"Temp agencies are still hiring, because companies are still waiting to see how things will unfold in the third and fourth quarters," says Joanie Ruge, senior vice president of Adecco Group North America, a human resources services firm. "They may have openings for which they can't bring someone on full time. Temp workers give companies flexibility as they wait to see supply and demand. As the market turns, they'll look at the temps first when they're ready to hire permanently."

Always be networking
Meanwhile, join your industry's professional association, and attend its monthly meetings and conferences. Also, join a committee in the association, and take a leadership position, since that way you can meet some of your field's most active professionals. That's another good way to network with people who know of job openings. Don't be intimidated because you're younger than them all. They'll be impressed with your eagerness to break in to the field. "It shows you've got initiative and leadership abilities," says Joe Ruffolo, a career coach at 360jobinterview.com.

In short, networking is the most effective way to find a job in this economy, particularly if you don't have much professional experience. Whether you're volunteering, temping, or attending a summer barbecue, have a 30-second elevator pitch ready to share with people who ask what you'd like to be doing professionally. That's a brief explanation of what you'd like your next job to look like and what you've done in the past, whether it's school, internships, or full-time work.

Sometimes you just have to take any job. If there's a position you can get as a manager at the Gap or as an executive assistant, go for it. The trick will be to successfully market the skills you learned on that job when you meet a hiring manager for the job you really want.

What Employers Want from Job References

by Yahoo! HotJobs staff

A great resume and solid interview skills may place job seekers in the running for a position, but a new survey conducted by OfficeTeam, a leading staffing service, finds that the results of a reference check can really be what makes--or breaks--a job search. Hiring managers interviewed for the survey said they remove about 21 percent of candidates from consideration after speaking to their professional contacts.

Managers also were asked, "When speaking to an applicant's job references, what is the most important information you hope to receive?" Their responses:

• Description of past job duties and experience: 36 percent
• A view into the applicant's strengths and weaknesses: 31 percent
• Confirmation of job title and dates of employment: 11 percent
• Description of workplace accomplishments: 8 percent
• A sense of the applicant's preferred work culture: 7 percent
• Other/don't know: 7 percent

"When hiring managers narrow the field to a few potential candidates, the reference check often becomes the deciding factor," says OfficeTeam executive director Robert Hosking. "To distinguish themselves from the competition, job seekers should assemble a solid list of contacts who can persuasively communicate their qualifications and professional attributes."

OfficeTeam offers five tips for creating a reference list that works in your favor:

1. Choose wisely. Select people who can discuss your abilities and experience that directly relate to the position, not just those with the most impressive job titles. Offer a mix of contacts who can address different aspects of your background; for example, a former peer may be able to describe your interpersonal skills, while a past direct report can talk about your management style.

2. Check in beforehand. Always call potential references first to get their permission and evaluate their eagerness to talk to hiring managers. Be sure to give all references a copy of your resume, the job description, and the name of the person who will likely call.

3. Be prepared. Provide clear contact information for your references, including their names, titles, daytime phone numbers, and email addresses. Also, offer a brief explanation of the nature of your relationship with each individual. Consider supplying more references than are requested, so you won't miss out on the job offer if the hiring manager can't get in touch with one of your contacts.

4. Think outside the box. It's common for employers to seek out additional references for new hires--either online or through their own networks. Since you never know whom a hiring manager might reach out to, you should not only remain on good terms with your past supervisors and colleagues (if possible), but also be selective about who's in your online network, on sites such as LinkedIn.

5. Give thanks. Express your gratitude to people who agree to serve as references, even if they aren't contacted by employers. Keep them updated on your job-search progress and offer to return the favor by providing a recommendation should they need one.

The survey referenced in this article was developed by OfficeTeam, a leading staffing service specializing in the placement of highly skilled administrative professionals. It was conducted by an independent research firm and involved telephone interviews with more than 1,000 senior managers at companies with 20 or more employees.

Endangered Careers and How to Survive Them

by Stephanie Powers, Investopedia.com

Move from laid-off to in-demand by choosing the right career. Here are some occupations hit hard by the "Great Recession," but take heart: workers can still prosper by transferring skills to fast-growing occupations. Below we'll look at some jobs that are on their way out, and how they can lead to in-demand occupations in growing fields.

1. School-district employees
The recession deeply impacted K-12 education employees. School districts across the U.S. experienced steep budget deficits, forcing many to cut their payroll. According to Education Secretary Arne Duncan, 100,000 to 300,000 education jobs could be lost due to declining revenues. While there are talks of additional federal monies to help bail out struggling school districts, the ongoing economic crisis has already caused the layoff of administrators, teachers, counselors and coaches.

Career Transitions
Administrators can apply organizational skills to project-management positions in the private sector. Most industries use the titles project manager, management analyst, or project coordinator for these roles. There is a high demand for the positions in consulting firms specializing in process improvements, and IT departments implementing large-scale software installations. Add a Project Management Professional (PMP) certificate to your credentials and show your ability to successfully maneuver through complex problems. Short-term certification programs are available at local colleges and include hands-on projects, an exam, and ongoing continuing-education requirements. Management analyst positions are expected to grow 24 percent through 2018, with median salaries of $73,570.

Teachers may find work switching from K-12 to adult education in corporate training and development departments where there is a high demand for knowledgeable instructors. Courses in adult education, curriculum design, and online education techniques will bolster your resume. Visit your local chapter of The American Society for Training and Development and become certified. Training and development specialists earn approximately $60,000, with many earning in the $80,000 range.
A more radical career change for a teacher would be to transfer his or her unique combination of skills (communication, audience analysis, motivation techniques) into sales positions. Sales jobs often have a competitive environment, but organizations are always looking for fresh sales talent. Select a topic you enjoy, leverage personal contacts, and be prepared for a fast-paced lifestyle. Compensation varies depending on the industry and type of sales (for example retail sales vs. insurance sales), but it is most often commission based.

State and municipal employees
State and local municipalities are struggling with decreased revenues, translating into massive cost reductions, including laying off workers. As state and local governments find ways to become more efficient with a smaller staff, the outlook for lost jobs is uncertain. Residents are paying close attention to state and local budgets as taxes increase while municipal services decrease.

Career transition
Management and technical consulting jobs are plentiful for former government workers. Experience coordinating projects through complex rules and regulations is a valuable skill to the many organizations that do business with government agencies. Whether your background is in information technology, occupational safety, grant writing, or security, private-sector firms large and small may have a place for you. Depending on your background, you may also consider becoming an entrepreneur specializing in government liaison consulting for your area of expertise. Consulting is expected to grow a whopping 83 percent with salaries ranging from $40,000 to $100,000 depending upon your experience and job level.

Nonprofit organization staff
The recession continues to plague nonprofit organizations. Charitable donations are down and endowment funds are still recovering from the stock market turbulence. Foundations lost 30 percent of their value in 2008 while some endowment funds lost even more throughout the recession. There is less money to spend on staff, and it couldn't come at a worse time as charitable organizations are receiving more requests for assistance from their constituents.

Career transition
If you can coax cash out of donors, manage limited resources with a skeleton staff, and wade through bureaucracy, consider a career in health care management. Office and administrative jobs in the health care industry are expected to grow 19 to 25 percent. Community colleges and vocational schools offer certificate courses and sometimes internships in health administration.

The bottom line
Modern career management includes assessing your skills and talents to recognize new opportunities. Being flexible enough to transition to a new career can mean the difference between being unemployed and rising quickly in a satisfying job. Some career transitions may require additional training, but the payoff is worth it.

How to Behave at Your First Job

You're lucky you got one in this economy. Don't mess it up.

by Tara Weiss, Forbes.com

You've landed your first job out of college. That wasn't easy, in this tough time. Now you've got to make sure you keep it and succeed at it.

How? You can start even before you arrive at work. Set up a Web news-alert account that emails you news stories relevant to your new employer, says Danielle Leyland, a recruiter in the information technology department at Sherwin-Williams, the paint company. That will help prepare you to engage your coworkers when you get there, especially if there's big news--and it's also a way to find out about potential opportunities. Even if it's bad news--a round of layoffs or company downsizing, for example--it will affect the entire company and will be important to know about.

To take it a step further, stay up-to-date on competitors and the industry as a whole, too. That will give you perspective on where your employer is heading and why certain decisions get made. Your colleagues will take you more seriously when they see how dedicated you are to the profession.

Good first impressions
When your first day on the job arrives, show up at least 10 minutes early, and don't leave as soon as the clock strikes 5 p.m. That could come off as doing the bare minimum, which is not the first impression any employer wants to receive.

Also, dress professionally, even if you're sure most people dress casually. Men should wear slacks and a button-down shirt; women, either slacks or a skirt with a top that covers their shoulders. "You can assess what everyone is wearing during the first few days and then tone it down," advises Kathryn Santers, a staffing manager for the higher-education division of the educational publishing firm Pearson.

The right questions
Once you settle in and are given projects to work on, be sure you've got a clear understanding of what's expected. If you're not completely sure about something, ask. "It's better to ask a question and be cautious than to do it wrong," says Santers. And when you ask, have pen and paper with you to write down the details so you don't have to ask more than once. If you don't agree with an assignment you're given, don't say so until after you've completed it. Even then, do so tactfully, suggesting alternatives or slight tweaks without antagonizing your manager.

Along the same lines, never behave as if some tasks are beneath you. At some point, everyone needs to file or make photocopies. Your goal is to make your boss's job easier. If doing clerical work accomplishes that, do it without complaining. "It may seem menial, but it's a part of a big picture," says Santers. "Not every day on your new job will be glamorous, but there's always a point to what you're doing."

Effective communication
Don't try to impress your manager by saying you'll finish a job quickly if it means you'll have to get too hasty. Be realistic in what you can accomplish, and keep your manager up-to-date on your progress. During your first week, discuss with your boss how he or she prefers to communicate. Not every question requires popping into her office, so ask if she prefers email or instant messages. As you work on your first assignment, check in to update her on your progress. Ask if you're approaching it right. When you've completed it, ask for feedback. Did you get it done successfully? Was there anything you could have done to improve your work?

Don't be shy about this. Your manager has a vested interest in your success, since it's much easier for her to help you as you go along than to retrain you.

This takes balance, though. Before you run to the boss with a problem, always try to find a solution on your own. You want to be solutions-oriented, says Diane Borhani, national director of campus recruiting at Deloitte & Touche, and bosses always prefer it if people who bring them questions also bring suggested answers. So try to come up with a fix, and discuss it with the boss.

When you're in a meeting, share your thoughts and opinions, albeit in a respectful way. That's why they hired you. When there's an opportunity to take on a new challenge or additional people are needed for a project, volunteer.

"The people who are happy to raise their hand and go above and beyond what they're doing are the people I want on my team," says John Campagnino, senior director for global recruitment at the consulting firm Accenture. "That's a differentiator for managers."

Have You Gone Green? Here's How to Get a Job to Match.

by Lydia Dishman, PayScale.com

If you have a passion for the environment and want to align these values with the way you earn your paycheck, a green job could be right for you. And you may not need to spend time or money earning an advanced degree to get one--you may already have the necessary skills. Dion Lim, president and COO of Simply Hired, says, "In many ways, green-collar jobs will be about re-purposing people with good skills onto projects that are green-oriented. For example, roof installers may become solar installers, electricians may become building retrofitters, and so on."

According to recent data from Simply Hired, the availability of "green tech" jobs has increased by 233 percent since October 2008. Some of the top green jobs are:

Civil engineer: Thanks to the influx of stimulus cash, infrastructure needs are on the rise, as is the demand for qualified civil engineers to oversee projects such as the construction of roads, airports, water systems, and sewage facilities. Online salary database PayScale.com puts the median salary for civil engineers in the $67,000 range, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that this sector will grow by 11 percent in the next few years.

Environmental engineer: The BLS estimates that the need for engineers who can work to solve issues such as water and air pollution, waste disposal, and public health issues will continue to rise--and that doesn't even include the professionals who will be needed to clean up BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. According to PayScale data, environmental engineers can make more than $67,000 per year.

Water-treatment specialist: This job has been around for as long as we've had running water in our homes and businesses. But now, as tap water is being rediscovered as a sustainable alternative to bottled, and new sewage-treatment rules are being implemented, specialists will be in high demand. Even workers with just a high school diploma and five years' experience can expect to earn over $40,000 per year.

On the other hand, Dennis Cail, CEO of GreenJobs.pro, says that some jobs need only to be redefined to meet green criteria. "Employees who seek out ways to get involved with their current employer's sustainability initiatives will likely be more successful in this transition." For example, says Cail, "Every project manager should add a green component as a project deliverable."

Other "regular" jobs that can be turned green include:

Surveyor: Often called "the second-oldest profession," land surveying can be easily adapted to projects that redevelop old industrial sites or reclaim contaminated property. With a bachelor's degree and several years' experience, a surveyor can expect to earn a salary in the $50,000-per-year range.

Software developer: Applying software- and database-design skills to make solar energy more affordable is just one of the ways a developer can channel technical expertise into a green job. The median salary is $74,000 per year, but developers with special certifications or advanced degrees can expect to earn more.

Grant writer: Just like software developers, grant writers need only to turn their communication and research skills to green endeavors. With environmental advocacy on the rise, nonprofits that protect the planet need plenty of funding sources. A grant writer for such an organization can make about $48,000 per year.

Sales and human resources: Every business needs help selling its products or services and hiring qualified people. HR professionals can bring five-plus years of motivational, training, and planning skills to a variety of sustainability-minded organizations--and earn around $59,000 annually. Career salespeople will also find that their persuasive techniques will transfer easily to eco-friendly products and services.

Source: All salary data is from PayScale.com. The salaries listed are median, annual salaries for full-time workers with five to eight years of experience and include any bonuses, commissions, or profit sharing.

Career Networking Tips: Get Started on Twitter

Using Twitter to establish an online presence is easy (and necessary)--here's how.

by Charles Purdy, Yahoo! HotJobs Senior Editor

The number of job seekers using networking sites like Twitter is rising: a recent Yahoo! HotJobs poll asked site visitors if they were using Twitter in their job search, and 12 percent of respondents said yes (up from 8 percent a year before).

But compare that with numbers from a survey (conducted by Econsultancy) called the Social Media and Online PR Report: it found that only 10 percent of companies are not engaging in social-media activity.

Now, you're not going to be conducting your next job interview in answers of 140 characters (the maximum length of a tweet) or less. We're nowhere near ready to abandon traditional job-seeking methods like a well-crafted resume, online job boards, and face-to-face networking. But in these days of "Job Search 2.0," social networking sites like Twitter are valuable tools: they keep you informed, they help you network, and they allow you to establish a credible online presence (and that's important for professionals in almost any industry: by all accounts, hiring managers and recruiters are researching many--or most--candidates online).

Not really looking for a job right now? Then now is the perfect time to get started. (If you start online networking only when you need something, you're much too late.) Here are some simple first steps:

1. Go to Twitter.com to create an account--it takes mere seconds. Choose a username that is appropriately professional and descriptive (for instance, I'm HotJobs_editor.) And be sure to add a bio (like mine, for example) that explains who you are and why people might be interested in what you have to say. If you have a new career goal in mind, express it here.

2. Find people to follow--all these people's tweets will be displayed on your main Twitter page. After you create your account, Twitter will offer you categories to browse, will offer to search your email address book for contacts already on Twitter, and will then let you conduct your own searches. Search for people you admire, leaders in your industry, companies you respect (or would like to work at), and industry publications or websites. (And look at whom they follow.) You'll be amazed at what you can find out from spending a few minutes each day reading their tweets: not only valuable industry news but also specific information about companies--info that you can employ when you craft a cover letter or meet someone for an interview.

(Yahoo! HotJobs also tweets up-to-the-minute personalized job listings to followers--sign up here to be among the first to receive listings in the areas and industries you choose.)

3. Start participating. A key to building momentum on Twitter is to participate--join (respectfully) conversations that the people you follow are having. If someone you follow says something interesting, retweet it (forward it to your followers), with or without adding your own comment; this is a great way to get a casual dialogue started.

4. Gain followers and build your reputation. There are many ways to do this: When you read something interesting online, share a link to it via Twitter. For instance, if you know that friends are looking for jobs, you may want to share links to Yahoo! HotJobs' career-advice articles. (Or if you see a HotJobs job listing a friend might be interested in, forward it via Twitter simply by clicking on the listing's Share button.)

Also share your own insights, humor, achievements, and so on. Twitter works best if it's a mix of personal and professional, and it lends itself to lightheartedness. But keep in mind that if you hope to someday use Twitter in your job search, you should avoid tweets like "Playing hooky from work and watching soaps in my pajamas." This may accurately reflect your activities on a certain day, but no employer is going to look at that and think, "This person would be a great fit for my company!" Make sure all your communications on your social networks are consistent and support your professional and personal goals.

And make sure people know you're tweeting: add your Twitter handle to your email signature for instance, and include it as a way to contact you when you comment on blogs.

5. Manage your Twitter account. There are numerous programs that add a fuller-featured dashboard to Twitter (and help you with things like shortening URLs without making you go to a separate website). I use TweetDeck and HootSuite; both are free. Test-drive a couple, and see what other people on Twitter are using, to see if one works for you.

6. Stay involved online. Keep up the momentum you've gained by staying active. Consider starting a blog related to your profession or even one of your hobbies--it'll give you something to tweet about, and it's a great way to continue establishing your online reputation.

7. Get back from Twitter. Managing a Twitter presence takes minutes a week. The preceding steps are designed to establish your good reputation and create a foundation of goodwill--when you need to reach out to your contacts for assistance, they'll be more inclined to help someone they feel connected to.

Say you decide you'd like to go for a marketing job at Company X. If you've been following the company, its CEO, and its marketing director, you'll have a good idea where the company and its marketing department are--this already gives you a tremendous advantage over the competition. Even better: if you've been retweeting the company's tweets, making helpful suggestions, adding positive comments to company and industry blogs, and sharing your own insights, important people at the company may already be aware of you.

That's the goodwill and good foundation that allow this Twitter direct message (a message you send privately to another Twitter user) to be received with interest: "I see you're making SEO marketing improvements: my area of expertise. I'd love to set up an info interview to discuss working together."

How to Build and Expand Your Career Network: 10 Proven Techniques

by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.

Just about every article on job-hunting you'll read on Quintessential Careers or any other career site says the same thing -- almost to the point of making it a job-seeker mantra: "the most effective method for finding a new job is through networking." Listening to job-hunting gurus and career coaches results in the same call to action -- to contact your network of contacts and enlist their help in uncovering job leads.

The problem for many job-seekers, though, is not so much in understanding the extreme importance of networking, but in the execution of networking. More specifically, job-seekers wonder, where do all these networking contacts come from -- and how can I get people to be part of my network? The key point to remember is that networking is relationship-building. Your network consists of people you've met (either in person or online) -- and you build your network by going out and meeting more people.

Then the question becomes, how do I meet people to add to my network? The thrust of this article is to provide you with 10 proven techniques for building and expanding your career network.

1. Ask members of your current network for referrals. There is probably not an easier way to expand your network than to simply ask your current friends, family, and associates for the contact information of others whom they think would be beneficial for you to know. The "friend-of-a-friend" connection is quite strong and usually very successful. "Who else should I be talking to?" is a good question to use when asking for referrals.

2. Join professional or trade organizations. No better method exists for finding people who share the same professional interests and goals than joining one or more industry organizations. Once you're a member, you'll usually get access to the membership list, which can open up many new prospective network contacts. Most organizations also run regional or national meetings and conferences, which leads to the next technique for building your network of contacts.

3. Attend professional/trade meetings, shows, etc. The great thing about trade shows and industry meetings and conferences is that you'll encounter new people to meet -- and opportunities for both "meet-and-greets" and more in-depth meetings. Seek out peers as well as more experienced members -- and even speakers -- to add to your network.

4. Volunteer. Providing your time and effort to a needy cause is perhaps one of the strongest venues for networking -- because you are working side-by-side with people who share your passion for helping others -- but often overlooked by job-seekers either too busy or too focused on finding industry contacts. Find an organization that needs your help (and there are many) and start volunteering.

5. Attend networking events. This technique is a no-brainer for adding more people to your network of contacts. Various groups hold networking events, including colleges, professional and industry associations, chambers of commerce, and the like. Review community calendars online or in your local newspaper for details.

6. Contact former professors, college alumni association, and/or career services office. One of the strongest ties that help in building new and strong network contacts is sharing the bond of a college or university. Making additional contacts with people affiliated with your college gives you a solid base of shared experiences -- and a strong connection to build upon.

7. Join or ramp up your activities on social and professional networking sites. Once you're a member of Facebook, LinkedIn, or a similar networking site, you'll immediately be provided with strategies for adding friends or connections, such as reconnecting with people who attended the same schools. Electronic connections are not nearly as strong as personal connections, but that should not stop you from at least trying this technique. You can use your virtual connections to grease the wheels toward face-to-face meetings. (Remember to develop and keep a professional profile on these sites.)

8. Join or start job club. In some ways, a job club is the ultimate networking experience because the people you meet there all have shared experiences and the desire for a new job. Run the right way, a job club is a very positive and rewarding experience, a chance to help yourself and others. Learn more in our article, For Networking and Support, Join or Start a Job Club.

9. Conduct informational interviews. There is no better strategy for entry-level job-seekers and career-changers to find and add people to your professional network than to conduct several (or many) informational interviews. As the name implies, it's an interview you initiate with someone in your profession/industry whose brain you can pick about how s/he got their start, moved up the ladder, and so forth. Interested in learning more? Go to our Informational Interviewing Tutorial.

10. Contact former co-workers, vendors, customers/clients. Many times as we move from job to job, employer to employer, we lose touch with former co-workers, customers, and the like. These people all had a relationship with you before and could again -- you simply need to reconnect with them.


Final Thoughts -- and Strategies
Above all else, remember that networking is a reciprocal relationship. You may be seeking help uncovering job leads today, but tomorrow someone in your network may be asking for your help. Never be afraid to ask people in your network for help; don't ask them to get you a job, but do ask them for possible leads, other people they know that you might add to your network, and any advice or other information you seek. When meeting people for the first time, don't make it all about you; ask about the other person and what s/he does for a living.

Finally, always be prepared for networking -- because the opportunity to meet someone can happen literally anywhere… and the person could change your life. To be fully prepared for networking, always carry networking or business cards, have a short elevator speech introduction at the ready, and keep a copy of your resume with you (electronically or in print) just in case a networking encounter leads to deeper possibilities.

Ia tdk pernah meminta bantuan apa apa padaku, kecuali sekedar memegang martil saat membetulkan sesuatu, itu caranya utk berkomunikasi dgnku.

Pd wkt aku berumur 22 thn aku sekolah keluar kota, sampai aku berkeluarga dan ayah menelpon setiap hari. Beliau selalu menunjukan perhatiannya pada keluargaku tanpa pernah sedikitpun mengeluh masalah yg dihadapinya. Tapi saya terlalu sibuk krn sebagai pengacara sampai tak punya wkt bercakap dg dia.

Wkt aku m'beli rumah pertamaku, beliau sibuk m'bantu mengecat & merapikan taman tanpa meminta apa pun, kecuali segelas es teh utk kesempatan berbincang dg ku. Tapi wkt itu kami sekeluarga mau liburan akhir pekan sehingga tdk sempat byk bicara dg ayah.

Dua hari yg lalu dapat kabar dari RS pukul 4 ayah dirawat krn pembengkakan pembuluh darah. Aku segera cari pesawat utk terbang ke kotanya, di sepanjang jalan teringat semua kenangan akan ayah. Termasuk wkt yg aku sia2 kan utk berbicang dg nya.

Aku baru sadar bahwa aku sungguh sungguh tdk mengenal ayahku dgn baik, aku bersumpah sampai di RS saya akan menghabiskan semua wkt bersama ayah.
Aku tiba jam 1 dini hari, ayah sudah pergi 3 jam yg lalu.
Kali ini ayah yg tak punya waktu utk berbincang, bahkan utk menungguku.

Sejak itu aku belajar banyak, beliau tdk pernah meminta apa apa kecuali waktuku.
KESIMPULAN :
*Kita dapat melihat prioritas hidup seseorang, dg melihat bagaimana mereka menghabiskan waktunya.
*Stiap kita bisa mencari lebih banyak uang, tapi tdk bisa lebih banyak waktu.
*Hadiah terbesar yg bisa kita berikan kpd seseorang adalah waktu kita. Karena dg memberi waktu, kita telah memberi bagian dari hidup kita yg tidak dapat kita tarik kembali maupun kita putar ulang..:)

Emo Hairstyle

Emo has been associated with emotional, introvert, and shy. It has deep emotion described by music, fashion, & style. One of several signs of it is the applying of emo hairstyle. Emo hairstyles have been an increasing social trend in the last few years. This started back in the 1980s but seems to have morphed throughout the years. Emo does not necessarily have a strict definition as to what a correct hairstyle has but it more has to do with the individual person. The hairstyles can mean different things for different people.





Whether you are talking about hairstyles for emo boys, guys, or emo girls, the hairstyle often will involve black hair surrounded by plumes of brightly colored hair with long bangs brushed to one side (often covering one eye), asymmetrical lines, & sometimes spiky hair (if it's short) in the back. You can choose to have all black as your hairstyle if that so pleases you. Different colors may be used altogether and you may see many people with Emo hairstyles who do not alternate any colors.

Emo boys often may have more black within their hairstyle. The person may seem quieter depending upon who you talk to. This comes down to individual style though and there may be some bright colors thrown in to mix things up.

Emo girls may use black as the basic color or may alternate a bit more than the boys often will. Multiple colors do not even need to be used but rather one color can be used. It is then about making sure to have the hair cut and thinned properly.

10 Tips for Writing a Professional Résumé

1. Start with an attractive layout. Use bold and italics to highlight key points. I do not recommend downloadable templates because they are very generic and dull. Get creative but not crazy. You can use a little touch of color if you are modest.

2. Justify the text instead of using left align. Most people are accustomed to reading justified text. This will make your résumé easy to follow.

3. Choose a common font. Times New Roman, Arial, and Verdana are some of the best fonts for a résumé. Now is not the time to experiment. Most computers do not have 600 different fonts installed so the file will not read correctly if you use your decorative fonts. Do not use cutesy graphics such as candy canes or teddy bears if you want to be taken seriously. (Yes, I have really received a résumé with teddy bears and candy canes on it.) It is NOT appropriate for business correspondence, and I guarantee your résumé will be canned if you do this.

4. Do not use the word "I" in your résumé. Start each sentence with a powerful verb. For example:

• Organized annual student symposium by securing speakers and working closely with marketing department executives.
• Implemented production bonus incentives and "best practices" matrix for all divisions, raising overall productivity by as much as 40 percent.

5. Write a proper cover letter for each position to which you apply. Do not ever send out a résumé without a cover letter. This is basic business etiquette. Personalize each cover letter directly to the position you are applying to. A generic cover letter will not work to your benefit. If possible, address the letter directly to a person. If you do not know the hiring manager's name, use "Hiring Manager."

6. Print your résumé and read it word-for-word. You can use the grammar and spell check function, but don't rely on it.

7. When you have a degree, list only the year that you obtained your degree. When you list your dates of attendance, many résumé scanning systems will not recognize that you obtained a degree, only that you attended college for a period.

8. Deactivate all e-mail links and Web addresses in your résumé and cover letter. To do this in Microsoft Word, highlight the link with your mouse, go to the "Insert" drop-down menu, scroll down to and click "Hyperlink", and on the lower left-hand side of this screen there should be a little button that says "Remove link." When you find it, give it a little click and voila! Alternatively, you can highlight the link with your mouse, right click on it, and scroll down to "remove link" to deactivate the link.

9. Be consistent! For example, don't list one date as 1/2005 and then list another date as 9/22/2005. List software consistently, too. MS Word and Microsoft Excel are both correct, but not consistent when used together.

10. Adhere to punctuation and capitalization rules. Use a reference manual if you do not understand standard punctuation and capitalization rules.

Resume Writing Should We State Our Hobbies And Interests

By: Paul Hata



There are two types of resumes: chronological and functional. As its name implies, a chronological resume is one that lists your experience and education in order, starting with the most recent jobs or achievements.

This type of resume is sometimes also referred to as reverse chronological resume, because the order of the listing starts with your current employment.

Functional resumes focus on your qualifications, not your career timeline. This style of the resume highlights what skills you have, rather than where and when you acquired or utilize them. In other words, instead of listing your experiences by your job titles, your resume will contained sections titled by your skills such as verbal and written communication, customer satisfaction, project management, etc.

The functional resume style is recommended for college students seeking internships or their first jobs out of college, for those with no professional experience, those who have not worked for some time, or for career changers.

This resume style allows you to reference your hobbies and interests in a way that apply to your career objective only; listing hobbies and interests outside of your career objective is not recommended as it doesn't promote you as a professional in any way.

Any time you are composing a resume, it is important to keep in mind your career objective. You want to present yourself in a best possible light to your potential employer. Thus, the information on your resume has to answer one question: Why are you the best candidate for the job?

The biggest mistake people make on their resumes is including information that is not related to their professional experience. Facts pertaining to your volunteer positions, community work, interests and hobbies that disclose your race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or any personal descriptors that do not directly impact your professional performance must be excluded from your resume.

The functional resume does not require you to list names or organizations you have worked or volunteered for; thus, you can list the experience you have acquired there without potentially disclosing any demographic information. Additionally, don't create a separate section on your resume for hobbies and interests. This is typically seen as amateur, and gives your resume less credibility.

Listing hobbies and interests as they apply to the position you are applying for should be done under specific functional sections. For example, if you are seeking a position in graphic design, and have samples of work that you have done as a hobby, indicate this fact on your resume or in your cover letter.

If your hobbies are related to the type of work you are seeking utilize them to your advantage. If you have read books or completed seminars at the community center that are applicable to your job, make a mention of them. Any employer will welcome the opportunity to have you demonstrate the qualifications that make you a perfect candidate for the job.

As a final step, have a friend review your resume, or if you are a college student, seek assistance from a career center at your school.

Having another person review your resume will help uncover any items that may raise questions about your experience or education, as well as address if the inclusion of your hobbies and interests works to support your career objective.

Perfecting your resume will assure that you show your potential employer that you are the best candidate for the job.

How to be a Good Public Relations Officer

Among so many events that happened in Indonesia last year, this event can be regarded as one of the most shocking to the world of public relations. A public relations officer of an elite shopping mall in Jakarta gave a controversial statement about the incidence of suicide by a man in his Job place. Instead of empathizing and cast a reassuring sentence, instead she clearly deplores this incident and blames the players who chose the location of the mall to run the action.


The statement becomes controversial and. Most people assume that sarcastic tone of the comments is inappropriate posted by a public relations that in fact represent the corporate image which involved in the incident. The result, people began to question the competence of the PR being assessed careless in dealing with the crisis of his company. Maturity of thought, precision processing of words and how good communications are not seem to be practiced by the public relations officer when dealing with the media.


Public relations, though often equated with “humas”, but have differences in the jobs description. Duties of a PR is much broader than just dealing with clients or the media. According to Edward L. Berneys in his book, Public Relations, a PR has three functions, namely: as a conduit of information to the public, persuasively be modifiers public attitudes and behavior towards the institution / company for the benefit of both parties, and as an integrator between attitudes and actions of institutions with an attitude public and vice versa. The bottom line is responsible for maintaining a public relations and maintaining good relations with the public so as to create a positive image about the company.


To achieve all these goals, public relations must have communication. There are five elements in the communication process that must be mastered: source / communicator (the person who becomes a source, it can the competent authority / himself): message (message to be conveyed); channel (media / means of delivery of messages), the target audience (the recipient group message); and effect (impact happens to communicants after receiving the message).


In the case above, the public relations officer apparently did not think the target audience (the victim's family and community) and the effect of his statement to the public.
Mistakes made by a public relations catastrophe could be fruitful for the company image. A statement by the PR firms is supposed to represent the attitude towards a condition of things. Therefore, delivery must also be appropriate to prioritize the aspects of mutual understanding between both parties.


Before the judging and labeling a PR with bad or good, it's good to know what it takes to be a good PR as excerpted from a resume that was written by Daniel Buana as following:


1. The ability to communicate.
And this is not limited to verbal communication but also visual and even writing. A PR must be fluent in communicating in different types of media, such as presentations, interviews, dialogues, create news / articles / press releases, and so on. Aim to function as information or communicator. He must know how to treat the media in accordance with the characteristics, target audience, and effects that will generate the communicants (receiver of the message).


2. Managerial capacity / leadership.
It is important to translate the vision and mission of top management. He must know the ins and outs of the company, understand the behavior and attention to customers, employees and other groups with an interest in his duties as a liaison. PR is often faced with a crisis situation that requires rapid and appropriate response. Necessary of maturity to think and to act fast to be able to handle the situation in a calm and elegant. Soul of leadership is also needed for coordination between the parties concerned.

3. Ability of mingle and build relationships.
Flexibility in dealing with various types of personality and ability to interact with people from various levels, Included also use networking to get the required information like a detective. Mix versatility is also important to build a positive opinion on the company so as to create a trusting relationship. It needed people with extrovert personality type to be able to carry out this task.


4. An honest and credible personality.
A PR should be someone who can be trusted. What he said should be based on facts, not just a sweetener in order to increase the popularity of his company. The information provided must be accurate and quite important to know the community. In addition, in performing his duties he must comply with the ethics and upholding morality. Although his job is to maintain a positive image of the company remain in the public eye, but does not necessarily make a PR feel entitled to impose other parties that opposed him. PR should make a statement that a neutral, objective, sympathetic, and attention to human values.

5. Creative and rich ideas.
Having extensive knowledge with the ability to think creatively and critically is needed primarily to deal with various issues that require resolution alternatives. Public relations opportunities should also be good at reading and see the gap where he could improve the company's excellence in public. The ability to create new strategies to expand the relationship between companies and the public becomes an important criterion to be held by public relations

Content Social Media Affects Job Search

If you had to seek jobs must have the cover letter and CV are satisfactory, the appropriate qualifications, and greater access to information on job opportunities, so this time, there is an additional thing that also should be noted, that social media content which ever published for the public.

Why might this case could be an important one that must be considered? A study conducted by CareerBuilder.com shows that the more the company reached out to social media to perform background checks on prospective employees. 45% of the company looks of social media as one way of considerations or screening for prospective employees. An increase of 100% a year, the previous year only 22% of companies that do this.


What about in Indonesia?

Probably the same thing does not happen in Indonesia. There isn’t significant number of human resource department that willing to check social media background. Most still feel enough to do it with the aid of references that are included in the cover letter. However, given the networking site users in Indonesia even that keep increasing (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, YouTube) It’s only the matter of time until HRD began searching the names of prospective employees on Facebook to learn more about these candidates. The study also stated that unfortunately, most of job seekers tend to ignore their social media content.

From Company’s Point of View
Some of the reasons that make management reluctant to hire prospective employees because of their social media content, among others are :

• Candidate posts the content about drinking or using drugs.
• Candidate makes a bad comment about the company where he previously worked.
• Candidate makes a comment of discriminatory or racisms
• Candidate lies about his qualifications.
• Candidate posts the information from the company where he once worked.

So, what should you do?

If you are in the process of looking for work you only need to consider a few things to show the positive reputation of the virtual world, including:

• Watch your online photo album in Facebook, or elsewhere. Delete photos that could damage your reputation.
• Don’t exhibit negative things to the outside world. Focus on the positive things, both related to the world of professional and personal.
• Try to create a special group for your profession or join professional groups that exist in the FB or other media. This is one way to create relationships with leaders, recruiter or other professions.
• Selective in accepting friends. Just because people to add you as a friend does not mean you should always approve it. You never know who behind the name on FB or Twitter.
• If you are still working or bounding by certain companies, do not expose your career search in cyberspace. It is not impossible management where you are working now knows it and it can be a minus value for your loyalty.

Forensic accounting is one of the fastest growing areas of accounting jobs in the market today. This specialized area is interesting and dynamic, and provides unlimited opportunities for the next few decades.

Forensic accountants work in two primary areas, investigative accounting and litigation support. Investigative accounting encompasses not just the numbers and documents of a company, but the business environment as well. Forensic accountants investigate the financial operations of an enterprise and prepare information that may be used in a criminal or civil court case. Forensic accountants provide investigative services or provide support for litigation.

Forensic accountants will often spend time at the business they are investigating, collecting and analyzing financial data. Most of this analysis is done on the computer, so good computer skills and knowledge of software is essential to this position. The forensic accountant will collect evidence and documentation that may be used in a courtroom proceeding, and will prepare reports to be used the management of the company being investigated, parties to the litigation or law enforcement agencies. Often, the forensic accountant will be required to testify in court or provide depositions as to their findings.

Forensic accountants are employed by a variety of companies and agencies. Many law enforcement agencies have forensic accountants on staff to assist with criminal investigations. Often, these accountants follow the money trail to help track and prosecute a criminal. Many CPA firms have forensic accountants on staff, and more firms are specializing in forensic accounting to assist with shareholder and partnership disputes, business loss, fraud or employee theft investigations and professional negligence issues. Other forensic accountants work for or with insurance companies to investigate business interruption and other types of claims. Forensic accountants routinely work for or with law enforcement agencies, lawyers, insurance companies, business owners and government agencies.

About 40% of the top 100 accounting firms in the United States now have a forensic accounting department, and the field is expected to be one of the top 20 job markets in the next few years. How do you become a forensic accountant? A bachelor's degree in accounting is required, and most are already certified public accountants (CPA's). Additional coursework in areas like law enforcement and criminal justice is usually required, and some legal training is helpful. You may want to pursue a accreditation as a certified fraud examiner (CFE) from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. This is a nationally recognized accreditation similar to the CPA designation.

Entry salaries in this field range from upwards of $30,000 to $60,000, but experienced forensic accountants often exceed $100,000 per year and more.

Berkarir di Perusahaan Penambangan Minyak dan Gas

Tidak dipungkiri, dikalangan job seeker di Indonesia terutama fresh graduate, bekerja di perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang penambangan adalah cita-cita dan impian. Bagaimana tidak, selain terkenal sebagai perusahaan yang memberikan kompensasi tinggi kepada karyawannya, bekerja di perusahaan tambang juga memberikan prestige atau gengsi tersendiri bagi karyawannya.

Asumsi dari jobs seeker tersebut memang benar.

Konon di perusahaan asing, jumlah tersebut bisa lebih besar lagi.

Kompensasi yang diberikan kepada karyawan perusahaan tentunya jadi daya tarik menggiurkan bagi setiap pencari kerja.
