Six Words

Borrowing from Hemingway: Describe yourself in six words. Your professional self, that is (in other words, leave out the fact that you spend the majority of your off-work time playing Mafia Wars on Facebook).

This is a great little exercise to prime yourself for rewriting your resume or preparing for an interview. Know your essence. Communicate it through your work accomplishments and experience. Communicate it through your language and stories. Tell the recruiter who you are, how you work and why you’ll work well at this company.

Know yourself. Be yourself. You and the company you work for will both be much happier that way.

Computer Job in Madison

I have a new job that I am recruiting for, it is unique in that the hours are very unusual. If you are the type of person who wants to work “the night shift” and do it in 3 days a week, take a look www.americanfamilyinsurance.jobs – job number 7763. I am looking forward to recruiting for this job to learn more about the inner workings of our company. This job involves printing off insurance policy information for insureds and it is done during the evening. I also think it is really cool that our company offers such a unique work schedule.
