    How to Receive Multiple Job Offers After You're Fired
    Ask survivors of the most popular reality television shows and they’ll tell you “If you have to eat a cockroach, don’t spend too much time thinking about it.” Keep focused on the end-game and move on.Know yourself, have a plan, make a footprint. After you’re fired, the raw power needed to convert a job loss into a high-voltage catalyst that gains multiple job offers is surprisingly simple. Consider these energizers:Who you are?

    e on a daily basis. Many of your routine activities can be quantified and written as accomplishments that demonstrate your experience and knowledge, and proof of how you’ve HELPED the company!

    Here are some things to consider when naming accomplishments. Quantify whenever possible. For instance, did you:

    • save the company money? How much and how?

    • help improve sales? By how much?

    • improve productivity and efficiency?

      Electrical Jobs: Transmission System Operators
      Electricity is composed of wide interconnecting networks of electrical line, power plants and diverse equipments such as transformers, electrical power distribution systems, and substations. Transmission System Operators (TSO) are part of the network and play a key role. Indeed they are the operators in charge of transmitting electrical power from generation plants to the regional or local electricity distribution operators. Transmission system operators are working on electrical lines with very high voltage, above 100,000 Volts, and the
      While most professionals hire a professional resume writer, some draft their own resume. People who write a lot for business usually have more success in putting together a sharp, focused presentation; still, anyone can learn the basic steps to prepare his or her own resume.

      There are three major differences between a "strong" resume and an "o.k." resume:

      1. FORMAT AND PRESENTATION DETERMINE WHETHER THE RESUME IS READ

      The average resume is scanned, not read, for only 8-15 seconds. It either creates a strong impression to the reader immediately or it is set aside. It is similar to the impression you make on the interviewer. Therefore, make sure your resume is wearing the equivalent of a "business suit" and not jeans and flip-flops!

      Choose a format that complements your career goal. If you are seeking a job in your field and have experience, use a chronological resume. This resume starts with your most recent job and works backward. Conversely, if you are seeking a new type of work, you may want to consider the functional/combination resume. This style groups your skills together and includes a short chronological work history at the end.

      Other ways to insure that your presentation gets noticed include:

      • No errors: use spell check and also have someone review your resume for missing or misused words

      • Use a Consistent format and use of capitalization and punctuation throughout

      • Provide lots of white space to accent strong parts of the resume

      • Use no more than 2 fonts

      • Include your name and address, a phone and email address

      • Laser print your work on quality white or cream resume paper

      2. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TELL WHAT YOU'VE DONE; RESPONSBILITIES STATE WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE DONE

      Not all accomplishments have to be big, but they have to show that you got results as you carried out your responsibilities. Often, they are something you are proud of or, they can simply quantify what you have done on a daily basis. Many of your routine activities can be quantified and written as accomplishments that demonstrate your experience and knowledge, and proof of how you’ve HELPED the company!

      Here are some things to consider when naming accomplishments. Quantify whenever possible. For instance, did you:

      • save the company money? How much and how?

      • help improve sales? By how much?

      • improve productivity and efficiency?

          What's In It For Them?
          Without other people, you can’t make sales, you don’t have affiliates, you don’t have JVs, you don’t have collaboration. That means you painstakingly have to do everything yourself and you only ever have a very small percentage of the reach you could have.Earlier today I was re-reading Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing Manuscript. I’m not a fan of all of his work but he certainly was able to propel himself to the top of the guru heap in record time. His products continue to become bestsellers and that’s really no accident.you may want to consider the functional/combination resume.

            J. W. Wrigley, the chewing gum king is reported to have said: "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. The problem isI don't know which half."You too could be wasting half the money you spend on advertising if you don’t do these three things:1.Switch from brand name or prestige advertising to direct response. 2.Code all your advertisements. 3.Ask every telephone inquirer where they saw your advertisement.Here’s an example of a direct response advertisement Mr. Wrigley could have used: ________

            3. AVOID COMMON ERRORS IN RESUME WRITING

            Many job seekers either don't know or don't understand the many items that do not belong in a resume. They include the following:

            • Do not use "I", "me" or "my" statements; use the telegraphic method and drop the pronoun to make it more active. Instead of "I wrote the 40-page employee manual", say "Wrote 40-page employee manual"

            • Avoid the use of the words "responsible for" and "duties included"

            • Do not include personal information, such as age, health, ethnicity, marriage and family status. Employers will throw your resume out if it has such information because they could someday be accused of hiring bias

            • Do not include photographs unless you are a model or actor

            • Do not explain your reasons for leaving your previous jobs or employment gaps

            • Don't send extra papers such as letters of recommendation, certificates or samples of your work. They clutter your presentation and are too premature. Use in the interview if appropriate

            • Never include salary information

            • Do not forward a list of references
