Power words

There are some words that carry more weight than others when it comes to a resume. I would recommend interspersing a few of these in your resume when you rewrite it. They can more effectively help you show it instead of just telling it.

Planting

Our garden was completely planted about a week ago. Began seeing some sprouts the last few days, not quite sure if they weeds though or what I planted. Be finding out in a few more days. I'm really looking forward to all of the flowers and vegetables that we will be getting in a month or two.

Summer jobs outlook

Things are looking up for summer jobs market this summer for teens in particular. Most summer hiring will happen by the end of May. If you're wanting to get a summer job you need to get a move on to have the best opportunities. Any teens will also have to be very aggressive, there is a lot of competition for the positions that are out there. It doesn't matter what job we are talking about.

This also bodes well for adults looking for jobs, especially full time. There will also be an increase the amount of the part time that can turn into full time jobs that are available. All in all, it's looking like this will be the best job market since 2008-2009.

Writing

Writing well is important when it comes to resumes, cover letters and anything else when it comes searching for a job. Everything needs to be properly capitalized, needs proper syntax and needs to be readable. Without that you are not showing someone that you can communicate well. In the case of writing when on a job hunt you are communicating that you can fill the need the employer has.

Jobs at small firms

Apparently openings at small firms are at their highest level since 2009. This is good news for a job seeker, mostly because that's where the most good will come from search effort. It will still be a difficult job market for a long time to come yet. But, at least the job market continues to improve slowly.
