A Little Bit Of Kudos

A Little Bit Of Kudos Bear with me as I write one of my less-favorite posts, which shares some kudos Ive received in the last few months. Its not that I dont like kudos (I love it!) but I feel a little weird putting it here. If I dont put it, however, I have friends and partners who get after me. And I guess its good form to show that YOU need to figure out how to brag about yourself! I guess I should go back and reread Brag! Anyway, here are some recent recognitions that Ive become aware of: Im on LinkedIn Now What??? has been chosen as a Top 10 Career Books by Joyce Lain Kennedy she sent me the press release, you can see it in this newspaper article. Im on LinkedIn Now What??? is my publishers fastest selling title, and were probably going to be their top selling book (at least, thats what Im working towards :)) The JibberJobber blog has been nominated as a top recruiter blog in two different categories (Best Job Hunting Blog, Best Recruiting Blogosphere Personality). Pretty funny since I dont consider this a recruiter blog (that is, I dont intend to teach recruiters anything).

Writing a Good Accounting Resume

Writing a Good Accounting ResumeWriting a good Accounting resume is imperative if you're applying for accounting jobs. To ensure that your resumes get seen, I'll go over some pointers that can help you in getting the message across about your skills and experience to potential employers.Before you write a resume, it's important to think about the goals that are to be achieved. Know exactly what needs to be covered on your resume and make sure you outline your role that relates to each of these requirements. Make a list of the things that you will be presenting in your resume and see how they fit together.The main topic in your resume should contain your name, where you currently live, and contact information. It's best to include a job objective statement along with this information. Explain what skills you have that relate to this subject and why you believe you will be the best candidate for the position. This includes jobs you've held in different industry sectors, specific number s of years you've spent in certain areas, or the number of years in which you've been in your current profession.The second topic you should consider in your resume is what professional skills you may have. You should list your certificate or diplomas and include a specific number of years you've worked with the profession that you're applying for. Some examples of professional skills are bookkeeping, financial accounting, computers, and other scientific applications.The next section of your resume should be about specific job descriptions that relate to the first topic. It should provide details about when you started the job, how long you've been there, and the specifics of the work that you've done. If you are familiar with the particular area, list all the previous jobs you've held in the past.It's also important to list any awards or degrees you may have won in the past as well as the names of the school and specific award that you received from. If you have references, include a few of them as well. The rest of your resume's list the organization and year that you joined or graduated from. If you have been employed for more than one year, list the last year you were employed, and if you have more than ten years experience, mention the years.Your resume should not only highlight your skills and qualifications, but also any extra training or education you may have had that will make you a better match for the career path you have chosen. For example, if you're applying for a job as a CPA, mention you took several accounting classes and received your CPA license after completing that degree. In this case, you can list these facts as an additional part of your professional achievements.And finally, write your resume, just like you would a novel. Include your strengths and weaknesses as well as your references and experiences that will give your application an edge. Once you've written a few, try them out and revise your resume as necessary.
