How to Make a D&D Resume

How to Make a D&D ResumeWhen you want to become a programmer or web developer, you need to make sure that you have a decent D&D resume. While it may seem like an easy way to land a job, it is important to make sure that you go about this the right way.The first thing that you should consider when making a D&D resume is to try and determine how many years you've worked. Some people who are new to programming and the web know very little about what they are doing so they need to keep in mind how much time they've been working. If you can show your company how much time you've spent on the job or that you are using the job regularly, you will be able to show them that you're committed to your position. You should also try and keep things as short as possible so that you don't waste a lot of space.Your name should also be included in all of your references. Just to clarify, if you want to start over with your resume you should make sure that your resume includes the name that you were using at your last company. This will help show that you are still part of the company and that you care about your position.A D&D resume is all about having a complete listing of your jobs that you've worked at since your start. This will help them know that you are still interested in working in this field. As an example, a programmer can show that they are still working on their current job even if they don't have any new projects for the company. The only time that your programmer job will be listed is when you start the project or get promoted.One important thing to remember with the d&d resumes is that you should leave out any time that you've moved around to other companies. It is very important that the company knows that you are capable of moving around and keeping up with the times. As an example, if you were recently promoted and you are already working for your current company you shouldn't be included in their resume. They should instead include other people in the organization.To help the D&D resume to make it seem more professional, you should add any awards that you have received. These are very important because they show that you are dedicated to the job. If you received an award, that is important because it shows that you have a responsibility towards your company.Just remember that you should always include information about your skills and experience with your D&D resume. If you don't include all of this then your employer is going to have to look at hundreds of people to see who is actually qualified to be a programmer or a web developer. Keep in mind that you should always include this information so that your employer can easily find you.

Retirement 5 Strategies for Finding Meaningful Part-time Work

Retirement 5 Strategies for Finding Meaningful Part-time Work Q: I want to find part-time work to bring in extra income when I retire next year. But I don’t want to be a greeter at Walmart. How do I find a job that’s meaningful but still flexible enough for me to enjoy my retirement life? A: Working in retirement has become the new normal. Nearly three-quarters of workers 50-plus say their ideal retirement will include working, according to a survey by Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Age Wave. But they also want a job that is flexible and fulfilling. Some 62% of working retirees said staying mentally active was the most important reason to work vs just 31% who said they simply needed the money. “A lot of people are in the same boat. They need to bring in some income and are happy to work but don’t want to go from a professional career to something mindless or boring,” says Tim Driver, CEO of RetirementJobs.com. Still, it’s often challenging for an older worker to find that combination. If you can, start the hunt while you’re still working and your skills are up to dateâ€"that way, you can leverage your current contacts. Here are five more tips to consider: Look to your employer. If you like what you do and want to still use your professional expertise, a natural place to start is with your current employer, says Nancy Collamer, a career coach and author of Second Act Careers. “It might be possible to downshift into a part-time or seasonal schedule, freelance or be on-call as an in-house temp.” For advice on how to ask for a flexible work arrangement, go to WorkOptions.com. Line up new clients. Does your career lend itself to consulting or freelance project work? Many fields do, from graphic design and event planning to tax advising and tech services. Consulting or freelancing is an ideal retirement job for retirees because of the flexibility it gives you to choose your projects and how much you want to work, says Driver. There are a number of sites that connect older workers to project work, including Driver’s RetirementJobs.com and RetiredBrains.com. Fill in at a high level. For mid- and higher-level executives, another option is to temp as an interim executive. Interim execs fill an existing position while the company searches for a permanent replacement. It’s a great option if you still crave the prestige and pace of the executive life, but also want the flexibility to enjoy time off in between assignments, says Collamer. The Riley Guide lists firms that specializing in placing interim execs. Find your passion. If you want to connect with work that you feel is most meaningful, you may be able to transfer your professional skills to a non-profit that focuses on issues important to you. “While nonprofits depend heavily on volunteers, most have at least a few paid staff positions,” says Collamer. Start volunteering now and see what opportunities are available. Nonprofits with tight budgets may be more open to part-timers. Check out non-profit job sites such as Bridgespan, Idealist and NonProfitJobs. Another good resource is Encore.org, which helps older workers transition to careers with a social purpose. Seek adventure. Finally, if you’re looking for something totally new, check out CoolWorks.com’s Older and Bolder section. It is aimed at retirees looking for seasonal or temporary jobs at national parks, lodges, ranches and other outdoor destinations. Do you have a personal finance question for our experts?

Mandatory Greatness Put The Fish On The Table And Let Everyone Smell It - Work It Daily

Mandatory Greatness Put The Fish On The Table And Let Everyone Smell It - Work It Daily NOTE: This is a book excerpt with minor edits from Mandatory Greatness: The 12 Laws Of Driving Exceptional Performance by J.T. O'Donnell and Dale Dauten. Put the fish on the table and let everyone smell it. I’ve seen people pump up the compliments and then dance so lightly over the criticism that people miss the point, leaving the idea that everything is fine and nothing needs to change. Or, if they hear the criticism, that’s all they’re going to hear anyway, and the compliments just make them resent the criticism. Hopeless. That’s why I believe in announcing that you want to have a hard conversation and zero-in on what needs to be different. That’s why I love that expression “Put the fish on the table and let everyone smell it.” Smelling The Fish Yvonne explained that the statement came to her from an executive with one of the giant healthcare companies. He was frustrated that employees were “so polite and positive and avoided the negative.” He kept saying, “We need to put the facts on the table,” but failed to break through the cone of positivism. Then, one day he mis-remembered an odd expression from a Swiss psychologist and told his team, “Let’s put the fish on the table and let everyone smell it.” What? There was something about that little sentence - surprising and funny and funky -- that charmed the team brain out of its typical thought patterns. The team began to really talk, to really consider that they could be better, especially at knowing their customers. Here’s how Yvonne summed up what that fish could accomplish. “Imagine if you started using that little statement about the fish on the table. It makes people smile. It disarms them. It isn’t scary like ‘face up to what’s wrong.’ Putting the fish on the table is a lively way of saying, ‘Let’s get serious about getting better.’ That isn’t scary, it’s energizing. At the company it got to the point where, when one executive is going to introduce me to another, he says in a way that lets me know this is high praise, He’s someone who really puts the fish on the table.’” This struck me as strange, but as Yvonne said that last sentence, I found myself yearning to be that guy, the one who could speak hard truths in a way that people welcomed the conversation. I wanted to be a guy who “put the fish on the table.” Even as I was thinking that, Yvonne was pressing ahead, saying, “OK, so what is this fish that we want to put on the table?” The truth,” I replied. “The facts. The stuff that sounds negative but really isn’t if you’re willing to do something with it.” Yes, the fish is the facts. We have to have the facts. We need metrics. There’s that old line, ‘What gets measured gets done,’ and it works. In the case of the healthcare executive, he loved to talk about numbers â€" the percent of time in the field and how many days since employees had talked to customers. If the leader can cite those numbers, I bet every manager can. That’s how the fish becomes the facts that shape the company. Mandatory Greatness is presented as a conversation between a high-powered business coach, Yvonne Wolfe (described as having “skirts of steel”), and a young manager who won a day of her coaching in a charity raffle. She observes him in his work, then offers a stark and startling analysis of him and his approach to his job: By imitating other managers he is making himself “a commodity product” destined for “inadvertent mediocrity.” She then teaches him to remake himself into a highly-valued teammate and a true leader using The 12 Laws of Driving Exceptional Performance.
