Employment Picture Rosier In July, AugustSeptember 24, 2010

The job market showed signs of improvement throughout the state last month as the Chicago metropolitan area unemployment rate fell to 9.7 percent from 10.5 percent in July, the Illinois Department of Employment Security said Thursday.

Since being flat in March, the not seasonally adjusted rate has declined in four of the last five months. The rate was down from 10.1 percent in August 2009.

The area shed 55,700 jobs over the year, but that was an improvement over the 58,200 jobs lost year-over-year in July 2010. Unemployment rates dropped in nine of 12 Illinois metropolitan areas -- the first time in 40 months the rate dropped in most metropolitan areas.

Nationally, applications for unemployment benefits rose for the first time in five weeks.

The Right Resume for employment

 Your resume provides a snapshot of who you are to a potential employer. Along with your cover letter, it is their first impression of you. In a competitive job market, it must stand out. To ensure you have the right resume, let's start at the top. Here's what your resume should include:

Include Pertinent Contact Information

• Resumes should start with your full name, address, phone number(s), and e-mail address (if you have one).
• You should always use a font size of 10-12 for your text. Choose an easy-to-read font style such as Arial or Times New Roman.
• Microsoft Word offers resume templates. To access, go to ,"file," and click on ,"new.," Then you will see a series of tabs. Click under ,"templates.," You will see several different templates listed. Open the one that you prefer and fill in your personal information.

Highlight Your Skills With a Functional Resume

• The functional resume focuses on acquired skills and accomplishments, rather than just straight work history. This is the best route to go for the mature worker with many skill sets.

List Your Experience and Accomplishments

• Start by listing the skill that best satisfies the job listing. Cite three of four examples of skills usage, with the successful outcomes. You do not need to list your skills in chronological order of jobs, but rather your strongest skills.
• Be concise - use short, bulleted phrases (complete sentences are not necessary). State your achievements and accomplishment not just duties.
• Use action verbs and industry keywords to enhance the body of your resume.

Catalogue Your Education

• List your highest degree first. Leave out your high school degree if you have a college degree. Academic honors should be listed, but degree dates are not important.

"Red Flags" to Avoid in Your Resume

Employers who review cover letters and resumes are trained to look for certain ,"red flags.," Depending on the employer, these ,"red flags," might disqualify you immediately from the hiring process. Other employers may just make a mental note of their concerns and address them with you in the interview. Either way, the fewer ,"red flags," on your cover letter and resume, the better the chance you have of landing your perfect opportunity.

How to Avoid Resume "Red Flags"

• Overall messy appearance. Make sure your resume is typed on resume-quality paper (or formatted correctly for an online application) and proofread carefully.
• Spelling errors. Use spell check and have a friend proofread.
• Grammatical errors. Use grammar check and have a friend proofread.
• Too much information, keep resume to a maximum of two pages.
• Outdated skills listed. Avoid listing skills that date your resume. For example, listing ,"typewriter proficiency," would not be appropriate unless it is pertinent to the job opportunity.

He worked with advisors from the Small Business Development Centers, who provide management assistance to prospective small business owners. His secret to his success so far, has been to open his mind to the opinions and assistance of others. He has a great product and a great group of people helping him make his new venture a success. Paul has taken the grass roots marketing approach to market his project; an approach that is sure to succeed in the demographic group he is aiming for.

In sixteen short weeks, the site has really taken off and he isn't looking back! I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to speak with Paul about his website and his passion comes across in conversation about his product and his will to succeed. He is very active in helping the mature candidates and has pledged to not charge any of his retired chefs a fee for his service. We both seem to have a common goal in mind…we want to help the older mature worker get hired. I hope you take the time to check out his website, I wish you the best of luck on TemporaryChef.com.

Paul Green started his career as a chef almost by accident, over a game of backgammon. He played backgammon with a French chef who in turn for sharing his gaming secrets soon taught him his secrets in the kitchen. Paul admits he fell in love with the kitchen and cooking became his passion in life and in turn, that passion became a lifelong career. He spent most of his career in fine-dining establishments that typically seated no more than 50 guests, allowing him to create original masterpieces night after night. Paul's real passion is to create new dishes and to have satisfied diners.

What prompted Paul Green to leave the kitchen and start a website featuring opportunities for chefs? Simply age, as he grew older Paul noticed that jobs were becoming harder to come by as the younger workers had the edge and his experienced wasn't considered a plus in the recruitment process. He noticed that he was getting passed over for jobs where he was clearly qualified and that hiring managers we looking at his skills less and his age more. He leaned that some of his best attributes wisdom and experience were actually keeping him from finding a position. Employers were looking past his skills and wisdom and only looking at his age.
