Alexandra Levits Water Cooler Wisdom Glassdoor Ranks 5 Star Companies

Alexandra Levit's Water Cooler Wisdom Glassdoor Ranks 5 Star Companies If you’ve looked for a job in the last five years, chances are you are familiar withGlassdoor. Known as the go-to website for employee reviews of their companies, Glassdoor only has 37 companies (out of nearly 150,000) with a perfect five-star rating. In order to determine what these highly-praised companies were doing right, consulting firmSoftware Adviceanalyzed their qualities and reported the following. Little and Latest: Startups Rein Supreme Nearly three-quarters of the top-rated companies were founded in the past 10 years, while 90 percent employed 149 employees or less. This makes sense if you understand that half of all visitors to the Glassdoor site are 18-34 year-old millennials, and millennials are known for preferring work at smaller companies. The top-rated companies also tend to be stereotypical startups. Forty-two percent are in the business services sector, while 39 percent are in the information technology sector. Sixteen out of 37 five-star companies are located in California â€" the global hub of tech-startup action. If your company is old and large, there’s not much you can do about that. However, you can promote a startup-like culture â€" through the fostering of innovation, flexible schedules, and shifting challenges and responsibilities â€" in order to capture some of the Glassdoor magic. Likeable: Collegial Support Makes the Employment Experience Over-the-top perks are not what excite Glassdoor reviewers. Rather, it’s the camaraderie and support of co-workers that keep them enthused to show up at work. Thirty-eight percent of reviewers commented on the importance of their team, and managers that promote group cohesiveness and bonding were mentioned as well. If you’re relying exclusively on benefits to retain your top talent, you might want to re-think that. Benefits are important, but your people and their relationships to one another are what will decrease your turnover. You can start small and simple, perhaps by planning one “official”team-building activitya month or bringing your people together for some low-key fun every once in a while. A focus on employee careers and helping your people connect withwork-related passionswill keep them too. The Glassdoor research cites professional development (32 percent) and meaningful work (22 percent) as the second and third characteristics most critical to a top-notch employment experience.

How to Write a Resume - Make it Great

How to Write a Resume - Make it GreatIf you are looking for a job in the medical field or any other field where it is essential to have a good resume, you should take a look at how some of the top professional and medical companies in the United States write their resumes. The reason why they are able to write such a great resume is that they carefully develop a resume as a part of their business and employee recruitment efforts.Dayton Ohio is one of the states with great medical and career opportunities. If you want to get your resume noticed by a company that is willing to pay you what you deserve, then you need to learn how to do a good resume for them.Of course, not all of the top companies in Dayton Ohio use a resume writing software. However, if you have never written a resume before, you may want to consider doing a little research on what kind of software a top company uses.A lot of companies prefer to have their people write the resumes themselves because they are able to ta ke in the whole picture of their past employees and know exactly what kinds of people they have worked with. There are some companies who only prefer to hire from within, meaning that the job will go to someone who knows the position and is willing to do the job. This is very rare though and not a preferred method.A resume writing software is programmed to go through all of the information that a prospective employee gives it and then create a customized resume that looks exactly like a resume that is being sent out. The programs can go back as far as two years and give a prospective employee the specific information that they need for the resume that they are writing.There are some companies that prefer to have their people to use paper and pen, although this is not mandatory. They do not like to see all of the information that is contained in the resume on a computer screen because it makes it seem like the person who has submitted the resume is not really qualified for the positi on. It also takes the prospective employee longer to complete the job because they are required to proofread everything and get their own ideas into the resume before it is approved.You can also take a look at the information that is given to a company like Dayton Ohio in regards to the things that are most important to them and the things that should be included on the resume. You can then use these same guidelines when writing your own resume.Whether you want to get your resume noticed by a company that is willing to pay you what you deserve or just take a break from writing resumes for a while, there are many people who love to do a resume writing for a living. Just make sure that you have learned how to write a resume and put it together correctly and you will be making some very good money.

Also, last week I guest posted over at the Daily Muse about navigating a personal crisis at work.  You can read the post here. The post means a lot to me because I basically share everything with you that has been going on with me over the last year.  Normally, I am that reliable co-worker  you can always count onâ€"the one who never calls in sick. But that all changed a year ago, with a first trimester miscarriage, the loss of my aunt who I was extremely close to, and another miscarriage where I had to have surgery. This rollercoaster of unfortunate events could have knocked me down, made me not want to get out of bed, and affected my performance at work. But instead, I chose to stay positive and do everything I could to keep going, especially at the office. I hope that you will never have to deal with a personal crisis, but if you do, you can read on the post here the three things that helped me move from my bed to my deskâ€"and get the best assessment ratings that I’ve ever received at work.

Graduate scheme and internship applications why are you delaying registering University of Manchester Careers Blog

Graduate scheme and internship applications why are you delaying registering University of Manchester Careers Blog When you are planning to apply for a graduate scheme or internship at a big organisation it is tempting to try and get all your ducks in a row before taking the plunge and registering on the company’s website. I often see students who want to get their CV checked or practice interview technique so they are ready for an application but they haven’t actually checked what the company wants. The problem with this approach is that you might waste valuable time. This year we are seeing more organisations than ever make an application form or CV one of the later stages of the application. Instead they often kick off with tests â€" Situational Judgement Tests  are popular, some ask you to complete ability tests such as numerical, verbal or logical reasoning as well or instead. Some will ask you to take a game-based assessment. Other companies make a video interview the first stage, (for others this stage comes second after passing the tests). Often you are only able to submit a full application after passing tests and video interview, I have even come across one or two which have progressed candidates all the way to an assessment centre without requiring any application documents at all. There are still organisations out there for who the application process for graduate schemes and internships begins with a traditional application form or CV and cover letter. In short â€" you cannot know until you register and begin the process. So my recommendation is if you find a graduate scheme or internship that interests you register as soon as possible. Don’t second-guess what will come, but be prepared to be agile! Our website has loads of help for different stages of the application process once you know what you are facing Applications and interviews Psychometric tests  including free access to our subscription to Graduates First for practice See also To practise or not to practise Applications and interviews Graduate jobs Internships Applications and interviews Getting started graduate schemes Internships
