Tips For a More Professional Resume Writing Class
Tips For a More Professional Resume Writing ClassWhether you're applying for a job or just looking for a more interesting career, you'll definitely need a resume in the near future. A resume, more often than not, is the first thing that comes to the mind of a potential employer, and this is why it's important to have one with all the right information before a hiring process.Most companies have a particular set of requirements, and a resume that is filled with quality job information can earn you a promotion or better jobs for the white collar jobs. However, the process is usually too complicated for most people, and these days most students think it's sufficient enough to simply copy their college professor's job application. Here, a few tips for making a more professional and informative resume that will stand out from the crowd.A resume must be comprehensible, and people will be able to read it easily. If it's in too much detail, it will only confuse them. Instead, try to think of it as if you were talking to a friend or relative.When a person is trying to get a job at the NCCS (North Carolina Community College System), they must go through a few steps. First, they must submit their paper work, as well as demonstrate a mastery of grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The first step in the application process should include a cover letter, resume, and portfolio. If an employer likes what they see, they may offer an interview.This is where having good skills come in handy. Being able to write and polish a good resume is no easy task, but with a little effort, you can have a resume that stands out among your peers. Don't settle for less if you want to become a good writer, and with a little practice, you can certainly write a great resume. Having an impressive background in academic courses and additional interests will boost your chances of getting hired. Therefore, when you're applying for a job, make sure you have a strong academic career and will be motivated to do the work needed to get hired. With a great resume in hand, you're more likely to land a position at your preferred company.Experience is also a very important factor to consider. Being able to handle difficult situations, the right attitude, and creative thinking will give you an edge over those who have only had experience in the past. Therefore, if you want to land a job at the NCCS, you need to apply for one now.

CEO to Worker Pay Ratio What Company CEOs Make Most Money
CEO to Worker Pay Ratio What Company CEOs Make Most Money If thereâs one thing that gets people more upset than high CEO pay, itâs when companies pay CEOs absurdly more than rank-and-file employees. Many big companies pay their CEOs 100 or even 300 times more than their typical workers. But the Wall Street Journal reports that one firm based in Ohio paid its CEO a whopping 935 times more than its median worker last year. The company in question is Marathon Petroleum Corp., the second-largest oil refiner in the U.S., which paid CEO Gary Heminger $19.7 million last year. That is obviously an awful lot of money. Still, Heminger wasnât even in the top 100 highest-paid CEOs in a recent list published by the AFL-CIO. How, then, did Marathon Petroleum wind up with what the Journal called âone of the biggest contrastsâ in CEO-to-worker pay? The landmark Dodd-Frank requires that public companies disclose their CEO-to-median-employee pay ratio to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and a firmâs ratio can be enormous if the CEO makes a fortune, the workers are paid a pittance, or both. Marathon Petroleumâs ratio appears to extraordinarily high because many employees are part-timers at its Speedway gas station and convenience stores. Overall, median pay for Marathon workers appears to be about $21,000 per year, or more than 900 times less the companyâs CEO. But if you exclude the Speedway workers, median pay at Marathon goes up to nearly $126,000 per year, according to the Journal, for a CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 156:1. That is still quite a huge gap, but it seems to be fairly typical for large publicly traded companies. The data analytics firm Equilar recently surveyed 356 public companies, and found that the median CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio was 140:1. Whatâs more, Marathon Petroleum doesnât have the highest CEO-to-worker pay ratio weâve ever heard of. That dubious distinction goes to Fresh Del Monte Produce. The global fruit-and-vegetable distribution company paid CEO Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh $8.5 million last year. Thatâs actually fairly modest as far as CEOs at large multi-national corporations. But as pointed out by Inequality.org, a website run by the progressive think tank the Institute for Policy Studies, 80% of Del Monteâs employees work in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Kenya, and the Philippines, and median pay for company employees is just $5,833 per year. When you do the math, it shows that Del Monteâs CEO made an insane 1,465 times more than the companyâs median worker.
