{February 20, 2010}   Gardening Tips for the New Season

Gardening must be one of the biggest summertime pursuits, in the developed World. Along with gardening, is a big collection of garden tools and equipment, particularly for those with experience. Once Summer and Autumn has ended, winter draws near. All the garden equipment you have need to be tided away in the shed. It might not be a nice chore but it pays to be prepared!

Of all of the house-hold items that can be positioned in the shed, lawn rakes have to be the most difficult. Minor tools such as the trowel are quite easy to hide away someplace. Their issue is their very smallness, this makes them prone to be mislaid and AWOL by Springtime. But the bigger issue is with stashing away the enlarged tools, which just happen to be some of the most difficult shapes.

Can you envisage anything more problematic than a lawn rake for finding somewhere reasonable to put for long periods of time? Throw in the border fork with its lethal forked spikes, the garden hoe, garden rake, forged spade, shubbery spade and you have a recipe for catastrophe lying in wait for you. These problems multiply 10 fold if you have tiddlers.

Apart from anything else, though, it is better all round to have your equipment housecleaned and hived away safely, exactly where you can find them when you need them. That is why garden accessory shelves, especially fashioned for the function of storing garden tools, are such an critical feature of any shed, or garage if that is where you have to stack away your gardening things.

Good accessory racks make instruments easier to find, as well as keeping your instruments in good condition. The trouble is, which rack do you choose? There are many possibilities, and some of them are very well contrived for the function specified. While separate stands, if static and strong, might be satisfactory, it is surely nicer to have a wall stand that is permanently fixed to the garden shed or garage wall. That way, it is less likely to come crumpling down in a mass on the ground. If you have minors, a wall holder that can be erected out of the grasp of the children is fundamental, as is selecting one that will carry the shovel and other dangerous horticulture instruments firmly in place.

{February 05, 2010}   Competing Successfully at Career Faires

Standing out at a Career Faire can make a difference in your job hunting. Career Faires are starting to pick up, and a major job search company is running some nice ones, called Targeted Job Fairs. At a SF Bay Area Career Fair in early 2010, 10 companies as showing up, and Dice has 82 career faires scheduled for 2010 across the United States.

How do you rise above the crowd at a Career Faire? The rivalry can be considerable, but you can help yourself leap out from the gang with early homework. At AA-Careers, we have a simple step-by-step process to prepare. Planning to go? Here’s how to prepare:

First, research the companies that are going and pick your targets. Use the web to research the companies that are there beforehand. Go to their internet sites and see if they have their job openings posted. Pick a limited number to go after, and get ready to spend up to an hour researching each one. It’s hard to do more than nine in a day, and five or six is a much more reasonable target. For each company, you want to know: key product lines, recent news, and executive names. Try to see if you know anyone at the target companies. You’ll end up with a page or two of research for each company/job.

Second, if there are job postings on the web, read them to see what the organization is looking for. Create a mapping of your achievements and skills to the prerequisites of the job. Make the nomenclature match. If the hiring company calls customers "clients", your resume should do the same thing. The achievements should be written in the style of the hiring organization.

Third, create a ‘mini sales pitch’ for each likely company/position combination. Write down a 90 second ‘thumbnail’ that you can repeat out loud depicting why you are a good prospect for that position. You’ll use this in your resume and when you meet the company at the job kiosk.

Fourth, modify your resume for each position. The objective on your resume should exactly match the job you’re want. The executive summary should be a written form of your “mini sales pitch” for the job. Then choose the achievements and skills that most clearly match the job prerequisites. Especially at a Job Faire, the purpose of your resume is a sales tool for you – to get you on-site job interviews. It should be quick to see that you’re a fit based on your resume.

Fifth, dress and prepare as if you’re doing on-site interviews. Dress well and be properly groomed. Don’t overdress (this isn’t a date!) and don’t underdress (no jeans or t-shirts, no matter how much you paid for them). Avoid strong cologne or perfume.

Finally, practice your ‘mini-sales-pitch’. Collect your research and the resume for each spot - bring a couple of copies for each – and put each in a intelligibly tagged folder. Keep them in a light briefcase or folio.

Remember to smile, and good hunting!
