In order to fully understand how to write a salesperson resume, you need to take a look at the duties that are asked of a salesperson. The Salesforce Human Resource Manager's resume are very similar in many ways to a salesperson's resume. However, a human resource manager's resume focuses more on skills and responsibilities rather than position.A Salesforce Human Resource Manager's resume has sections that cover the job titles that they hold, but in an extremely short format.

Job Layoff Survival Guide

Job Layoff Survival Guide The jobless rate in America is now about half of what it was during the Great Recession â€" 4.9% versus a high of 10% in 2009, according to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Still, seven states saw big increases in their unemployment rates this past July. Job losses have been particularly pronounced in states with economies tied to the energy industry, which has suffered of late due to a drop in oil and gas prices. Additionally, big retailers like Walmart have been cutting jobs â€" the discount superstore announced plans to close 269 stores this year. If you think your job is at risk or have recently been laid off, “the first thing you need to do is breathe,” said Scott Bishop, director of financial planning at STA Wealth Management in Houston. Then, you need to make a plan to prepare yourself emotionally and financially before a layoff happens, so you can survive once it does. Here are some tips to survive getting laid off. Close Modal DialogThis is a modal window. This modal can be closed by pressing the Escape key or activating the close button. 1. Do a Financial Fire Drill Ideally, you need to take steps to prepare your finances before you lose your job. According to Donna Freedman, author of “Your Playbook for Tough Times: Living Large on Small Change, for the Short Term Or the Long Haul,” it’s a good idea to have a financial fire drill. Start by determining your baseline budget â€" the absolute minimum amount of money you need to cover basic costs, such as food, housing, utilities and debt payments, she said. Next, check the website of your state unemployment insurance agency to get an idea of what your weekly benefits will be. Doing this will help you figure out how much more money you’ll need from other sources, like savings, for necessities and how many nonessential costs you’ll need to cut. “If you find out just trimming the budget will help you with lost income, start doing it now and put that money in an emergency fund,” Freedman said. “Don’t let that money disappear.” If you think you’re getting laid off, your emergency fund should have more than six months’ worth of expenses saved in a money market account because it can take that long to find a new job, said Bishop. You can build savings if you’re married and your spouse works by living on the paycheck of the person with the more stable job, he said. You can also follow these steps to save at least $10,000. “When the time comes and you have this plan, you might find you’re doing just fine with less,” said Freedman. 2. Line Up Credit Although it’s not the ideal way to stay afloat during a layoff, relying on credit might be necessary. Because it’s easier to get credit when you have a job, Bishop said you should take steps to line up credit before you’re laid off. For example, you might want to open a home equity line of credit that you can tap if you need emergency cash. According to Bishop, if you can’t pay your bills when unemployed, you should use your credit cards before tapping your 401k or retirement account, which should only be used as a last resort. If you have to rely on money in your 401k, it’s better to take a loan than a distribution â€" which will be taxed at your regular income tax rate and subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. Be aware that you’ll have to pay back a 401k loan within a short period of time â€" usually 60 days â€" or it will be treated as a withdrawal. 3. Start Networking According to Bishop, you should start looking for a new job before you’re laid off. “Refresh that resume, get out on social media, go to networking events, join organizations,” he said. “Let people know you’re looking for your next opportunity.” If you are laid off and your employer offers an outplacement service, take advantage of it to get career counseling and other assistance. Or, consider hiring a career coach to help you weigh your options and make better decisions. “Think of it as an investment,” Bishop said of the expense. 4. Understand Your Employee Benefits You need to know what the status of your workplace benefits will be if you lose your job. “It’s hard to make good decisions at the time the layoff is happening,” said Bishop. Instead, you should be aware of what will be available and plan in advance. For example, employees should determine whether they will be able to continue getting health coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). This law requires employers with 20 or more workers to continue offering health coverage to those who lose or leave their jobs. However, former employees have to pay up to 102% of the cost of the health plan, so you might want to look elsewhere for more affordable coverage. Find Out: How Your Employee Benefits Can Help You Save Over $750 Every Month If you’re offered a severance package, you need to understand what you’re agreeing to in order to get a payout from your employer before signing anything, said Bishop. “A severance payment usually comes with three or four pages of things you can’t do,” he said. “Figure out if the value of what you’re getting in a severance agreement is worth what you have to give up.” For example, there might be a non-compete clause that will make it difficult to get a new job in your field for a period of time. You also need to know what impact a layoff will have on any stock options you might have or additional insurance coverage, such as life insurance, said Bishop. 5. Cut Expenses to the Bone If you didn’t reduce spending before a layoff, you’ll likely have to cut expenses dramatically when you do lose the job. According to Freedman, expenditures like restaurant meals, hobbies and nights out might have to be put on hold during this period. However, she cautions consumers not to ditch their internet service â€" they’ll need it to help find new jobs. Additionally, you should talk to your auto insurance agent to find out how much you’ll save by raising your deductible, dropping collision coverage â€" if your car is old enough â€" or keeping your vehicle parked in the garage because you won’t be driving to work daily, she said. You can also switch to a lower-cost phone plan and ask children which of their extracurricular activities are most important to them, as the rest might have to be put on hold. Freedman also recommends making a list of things you can sell to generate extra income during a layoff. For example, she once sold a plastic baseball figure on eBay for $1,200 when she was going through a divorce and hurting for cash. 6. Prioritize Bills When cash gets tight, you might need to prioritize which bills you need to pay first. For example, it’s better to push off a medical bill than a mortgage payment, said Bishop. Additionally, you should let lenders and service providers know about your financial situation before you miss a payment. “Once you skip a payment or two, and they send you to collections, all bets are off,” he said. You might be able to lower the amount you owe each month by taking advantage of programs for those in need. Freedman said she was able to get a reduced rate for utilities when she was at her lowest point financially. If you have federal student loans, you might be able to take advantage of income-based repayment plans to lower your monthly bill, said Bishop. 7. Get a Part-Time Job As you look for new full-time employment, you might have to take a part-time job to pay the bills â€" even if it’s not your preferred line of work. According to Freedman, if your unemployment benefits are about to end and you still haven’t found a full-time job, you shouldn’t turn up your nose at openings that are less than ideal. “You can’t let pride get a hold of you,” Bishop said. Along with reaching out to friends, family members and former bosses to see if anyone knows of an open position, you should take time to scour the online job boards for opportunities. You might even be able to find a job that lets you work from home, so you’re still available to attend interviews. A recent FlexJobs article showcased 35 companies that offer work-from-home jobs on a part-time basis, including About.com, Walden University, Rosetta Stone and Xerox. Accepting a job for the short term can help you cover expenses â€" and stay out of debt â€" while you seek out more meaningful opportunities. “Think of it as a lifeboat job â€" one that keeps you afloat until your real boat comes in,” Freedman said. 8. Take Advantage of Assistance Programs Government and community programs exist to help you through tough financial times. For example, you might be eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to help cover the cost of food. Freedman recommends calling 211 â€" which is the number for the community services clearinghouse in most areas â€" to find out what services are available near you that can help. She said you should explain your situation and be specific about what sort of help you need. However, you should take this step before you’re in dire straits, because assistance programs might require that you fill out forms and be entered in their systems before you can start receiving help, she said. Losing your job is a stressful experience. However, if you take the steps listed above to prepare your finances before a layoff, you’ll be able to deal better with the shock of losing your job. And, you’ll be more likely to stay afloat financially if you are unemployed by making the right moves and taking advantage of any assistance that’s available.

Personality Characteristics Necessary For Working In Drug Rehab - Work It Daily

Personality Characteristics Necessary For Working In Drug Rehab - Work It Daily Not many people can have a successful career in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation and treatment because of the intense nature of this line line of work. People in recovery wrestle with individual demons on a constant basis, and those who work with them often become either too emotionally involved or too detached. Either one has its dangers, and it is difficult for those employed in drug abuse treatment programs to know where the essential lines should be drawn. Those who become too deeply embroiled in the problems facing their patients risk losing objectivity. Objectivity in others is something that is necessary for recovering addicts to have access to. On the other hand, those who become too aloof often convey a false sense of smugness and superiority to people they are supposed to be helping to overcome addiction. Nonetheless, working in the drug rehabilitation field can be immensely rewarding. Those who are successful experience a great deal of job satisfaction and often feel as if what they are doing makes a positive difference in the lives of others. Employment in drug abuse treatment programs is available at all levels as well as in many different areas. For instance, someone who strongly believes that nutrition plays a major part in healing and who has a knack for meal preparation will find a rewarding career working in the kitchen of a drug rehabilitation facility. Outdoor enthusiasts might find their calling in leading recreational programs designed to assist recovering addicts in the development of life skills and confidence. Becoming the administrator of a drug rehabilitation facility is the highest position that those who choose to work in the field can aspire to. Qualifying for this type of position requires education in medical administration as well as knowledge of drug rehabilitation programs. Other high-level jobs in the drug rehab field include chief-of-staff positions various department head jobs. The size of the facility generally determines the number as well as the quality of available positions. That doesn't mean that smaller facilities are inferior in any way, only that more opportunity exists at larger ones. A successful career in drug rehabilitation usually begins with college coursework in addiction studies. Students who are more interested in the administration aspect of the field then concentrate on education that equips them to work as facility administrators. Those who prefer to work hands-on with patients concentrate their studies primarily in the areas of counseling and psychology.

How To Handle An Unhappy Employee - Spark Hire

How To Handle An Unhappy Employee - Spark HireImagine this scenario as a supervisor or HR professional an employee comes into your office and asks to speak with you privately. When they close the door and sit down, they divulge to you that they are very unhappy with their job at present, for any number of reasons. How, as their supervisor, superior, or member of HR support, should you field their questions, concerns, and even anger, in order to help them out?These situations can be complicated and difficult to understand, but as their superior, you should first seek to understand the entire situation, and then act. What are the underlying reasons for this employees unhappiness? Are they upset with their compensation? Do they believe their workload is unfair? Do they find it difficult to collaborate with their coworkers? Perhaps their unhappiness is stemming from something in their personal life, an unsupportive spouse or bills that are not being covered. As a supervisor facing this s ituation, be cognizant of which issues might require the presence of a human resources professional.When you have assessed the situation for the true cause, ask what the employee has already actively done in order to make their situation better. If they are struggling with a particular employee, have they approached this employee about their behavior and explained how it negatively affects them? If they feel stuck in their current position, have they looked at other openings within the company or actively pursued development opportunities that might align them with promotions? If they havent taken action on their own at this point, a gentle reminder to do so may be in order.Iftheyvealready exhausted other options, what can you offer them to help revamp their motivation and productivity? Depending on their specific needs, here are some ideas for offering them helpNew projects and tasks Perhaps its time for a shift within your team.

You can most likely boost accuracy and productivity by shifting some tasks around within your team, putting new eyes and a new perspective on each task.Continuing education Can the company afford to send a few employees to a seminar or class about productivity or to learn a new computer program or other skill? If so, perhaps send your disgruntled employee and ask them to share about their experience when they return. Hopefully the time outside the office will be refreshing and the class or seminar will encourage them that they can excel in their job.Mentoring and professional development If the employee is genuinely concerned with moving upward and feeling like they have little way of doing that, offer them a few avenues. Maybe suggest having a mentoring relationship with someone in a position they admire. Or, offer other professional development opportunities such as seminars o r allow the employee to sit in on a meeting that may give them a higher level understanding of the company.Most likely, a discouraged or unhappy employee simply needs a new task, new perspective, or new goal in order to motivate them in their job. There are numerous ways this can be accomplished as a supervisor or HR professional, beginning with understanding the employees unhappiness for exactly what it is.Have you ever experienced a scenario like the one first described?
