Want a Dream Resume? Learn a New Language

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

More and more, it is becoming extremely beneficial to know a foreign language in today’s tough job market. Any kind of edge helps now more than ever in this economy, and one of the most sought-after and respected skills that can give you the upper hand is knowing a foreign language. Having expertise in another language only opens up more doors and opportunities — and offers more perks at those jobs. If you need more convincing, read on for these reasons why a second language will positively impact your career. When you’re ready to start learning, check out these Free Online Classes for foreign languages and linguistics.

  • Foreign languages are in demand. The world is becoming a smaller place, and as such, it is important for companies to be able to communicate with clients or constituents in their native languages. For people looking into business-oriented endeavors, Chinese and Japanese are highly sought after, and for those working in social services, being able to speak Spanish will give them a huge leg up.
  • It shows ambition and aptitude. Even if you are not applying for a position that will require you to use your language skills, it still looks excellent on a resume. It proves you had the ambition to undertake such an intense, time-consuming endeavor, and have the aptitude to learn something that is so difficult for many people. Plus, there is still the beneficial stigma that people who speak foreign languages are more intellectual and better educated than those who do not, so that certainly won’t hurt either.
  • Face less competition. In a tough economy, successfully finding work is often all about having skills others don’t and being able to fill niches others can’t because of a lack of skill and experience. With a foreign language under your belt, you’l be able to fill niches the majority of jobseekers will not, and so will have less competition to face and better chances at landing a position as a translator, teacher, copywriter, or any other of a multitude of jobs that require expertise in a given language.
  • Open up new doors. Conversely, just as the competition will thin out, the number of positions you will be able to fill will only grow exponentially as you will be able to apply for the positions you did not have the required language skills for previously. When looking for work, it is essential not to limit your opportunities so as to give yourself the best chance to find enjoyable (and good paying) work. Broaden your horizons and your career opportunites by learning a new language.
  • Be an essential team member. While working as part of any team within your new position, you will be an integral and respected member as your language skills will be necessary to success. Relish being a key player at work and having an essential helping hand in all projects you are involved in.
  • Increase travel opportunities. If your company needs to send someone to meet with clients in a foreign country but no one speaks the language well except you, who do you think they are going to send? With a foreign language under your belt, particularly one in high demand areas like Spanish, Chinese, or Japanese, you will increase your chances of having your company pay for you to visit the places you have always dreamed of visiting. Hopefully you’ll be able to sneak away a minute or two to see the sights and practice your language skills with the locals.

Re-entering the Job Market: Resume Tips to Help You Land Work

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Joseph Gustav is a guest blogger for Pounding the Pavement and a writer on call center management for Guide to Career Education.

So your career has been on hold for awhile. You’ve taken some time for yourself, whether it be to raise a family, pursue a hobby, or care for loved ones, and even though you have not been “working,” you’ve most certainly been working. But how to go about getting a regular job? Are you at a disadvantage having been out of the work force for a few years? Will nobody want to hire you? The answers are simply no and no; people who do good work will be able to find work, period. To help improve your chances and get noticed by potential employers, you need a good resume. Check out these Essential Resources for Crafting a Standout Resume to get you started. Once you have that figured out, here are some tips for anyone re-entering the job market after a lengthy hiatus.

  • Don’t defend your time off. In fact, do not make it an issue at all. If you want, address your reasons for being away from the work force in your cover letter, or just wait until the interview to explain, and not defend, your choice to raise a family, etc. and your newfound decision to get back to work.
  • Detail your past work experience. Just like on any resume, this is what is going to sell your candidacy — sell yourself. Talk about what work experience you have, and what projects you have completed with success. Describe what experience you have in the field you’re applying for a job in, and emphasize what skills you have to be an asset in that field.
  • Think about what you’ve learned while away from the job market. Really think about it, and be creative. Did you manage your family’s finances? If so, did you teach yourself Quicken? These are absolutely skills that can be put on a resume. Along those lines…
  • Prove you’ve still been moving forward. Even though you have not been working per se, you can and must demonstrate you have still been progressing during your time away from a given career. Prove that you have learned new skills, or even better that you have been doing other things to stay active, such as ….
  • Unpaid work is just as good on a resume as a paid position. If you have volunteered during your time off, include this — it will look great on your resume. Make sure to highlight any and all skills learned. Again, it’s important to show that you haven’t been twiddling your thumbs while away from the job market, and it’s even better if you can say you’ve had responsibility at an organization and have learned new skills or honed ones you already had.
  • Prove you are ready to jump back in. And prove that the (re)learning curve will not be steep. Technological advances will most likely be the biggest barrier in many fields. Take classes or do research to get as up to date as possible, and include this in your resume. Show in your resume that even though you’ve been away, you have not been left in the dust.
  • Don’t use a “functional format” for your resume. In constructing the actual resume, stay away from the “functional format” of listing skill sets first and then listing positions held last. Employers can be wary of this format, as it may look like you’re hiding something. Though attractive for those who have not worked in awhile and do not want to underscore this fact, don’t try to gloss over your time off with this kind of formatting.
