    It's a bit of a misconception that the resume is THE most important part of the job application process. While having a resume that stands out is crucial, but it can fall flat on its face if it's accompanied by a poorly written cover letter, or worse still, doesn't even include one.

  • Job Interview Hints And Tips  By : John Pawlett
    Your first real job interview can be a terrifying experience. Interviewees stress themselves out over what to wear and especially what to say.

    The US Department of Labor reports that there should be plenty of job openings for chefs, cooks, and food preparation workers through 2010.
  • Why Special Skills Can Put You Over The Top  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    This is a rather dangerous subject for as we know there are two meaning to 'over the top.

    The first, and the one we'd like to think of, is that collection of or additional skills that put us in front of, on top of, other applicants for the same job. Excellent to have those of course.

    The second, the one we do need to spend a little time thinking about, is the other meaning of over the top: de trop, or too much. This is when we hear the dread words 'I'm afraid you're a little over qualified for this job, don't you think so?'
  • Why Degrees Matter  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    The uncomfortable and unfortunate fact is that degrees do matter now, more than ever, while the requirements necessary to get one fall all the time. Somewhat odd that something is ever more necessary, while becoming easier to get and producing less of a pay advantage than it used to.
  • Why Companies Value Loyalty  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Loyalty is supposed to one of those things beyond value, like a Mother's love and a really good apple pie. However, as any random passing economist will tell you just because you cannot assign a monetary value doesn't mean that people don't value it: you just need to be a little creative in getting them to reveal the value they do indeed place upon it.
  • Why Benefits Matter  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    To the employer benefits have a double use. The first is that they can be a tax efficient method of increasing the incomes of the employee. The vagaries of the tax system mean that some benefits (health insurance, pension contributions) can have a certain value to the employee but they cost less to provide than certain others (wages, company cars) that would have the same value to the employee. As it is the total cost of an employee which is the deciding number for a company, not the net in the pay packet, this means that by careful evaluation of a benefits package a company can raise the apparent salary for a specific job while keeping that total cost constant. That should other things being equal, mean more and better qualified applicants for that job: something of course to be desired.
  • Why A Winning Attitude Works  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    It has to be the American attitude the English most object to, the 'Can Do' thing, that all you need is some gung ho and any and every problem can be solved. This is really rather something of a pity as while we don't express it in quite the same way we do actually share the underlying attitude. We might not leap around shouting 'Yeehah!' but we do share that thought that just about anything can indeed be done.
  • The Truth About Cover Letters  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    The awful truth about cover letters is that they don't really matter at all and that they are extraordinarily important. Something of a contradiction there we know but then all too many areas of life are: we're always told not to lie but then we all know the correct answer to 'does my bum look big in this?'
  • The Road To Manufacturing  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Fortunately the road to manufacturing is no longer to be associated with the grime an 'opp northness' of Orwell's Road to Wigan Pier. Neither in reality nor even in the common preconceptions is manufacturing something done well away from civilised society.

    It is indeed true that the large car factories are where they always were (perhaps with the addition of Sunderland) but the most interesting parts of that industry all seem to be in the Home Counties these days: where all of the racing testing and manufacturing is going on.
  • Service With A Capital S  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    The defining change of the economy in recent decades has been the rise of service as a vital component of it. We don't mean here just the (relative) decline of manufacturing and the rise of the service economy itself. No, rather, the way in which service has become the vital part or almost every product that is now sold, whether that product is a manufacture or a service in itself.
  • Selling Sales  By : Bruce Stander
    It's aways been one of the great mysteries of the business world that salesmen make absolutely the worst buyers of any product on the planet. This is of course entirely absurd because they have been taught all of the tricks, know exactly how the salesman opposite them is gulling them, avoiding the difficult questions and skating over the flaws in his product.
  • Rights and Wrongs of Resumes  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    It is entirely possible that detailing all of the rights and wrongs of resumes is a task for rather more space than is available here. Indeed, a visit to a decent bookshop will show shelves groaning under the weight of well meant advice: some of it even useful.

    Getting your resume or CV right is perhaps, other than actually knowing what you're doing, the most important part of the recruitment process.

    It's the piece of you that potential new employers are going to see before they see you. Indeed, if your resume doesn't make them want to see you then they're not actually going to, are they?
  • Retail Rocks  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    There's a certain misapprehension about the importance of the retail system in the commonplace thoughts of the UK's intellectuals. After all, it's only selling things, isn't it? It isn't important, in the same way that actually making things is it? seems to be the way the thoughts go.
  • Results Orientated Rules  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Some might think it a little odd that we'll turn to the words of a Nobel Laureate in Economics to shine light on practices in the recruitment industry but then that's the joy of great thinkers: their ideas are applicable at many levels and in many sectors.

    Think for a moment about what a recruitment agancy does. It's an agency, a specialist agency, standing (or more commonly sitting) in between people who want to hire managers and those people who want to be hired as managers. Why not just contact each other directly you might think?
  • R.E.S.P.E.C.T.  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    The most important thing in the modern workplace is that this respect needs to work both ways, both up and down the organization. We don't mean quite what is meant by the usual meaning of the word either: no one is suggesting that we all have to walk around stating that the boss/the workers are really great guys, we look forward to having a beer with them.Rather, we're talking about the glue that keeps the modern multi-skilled teams necessary working. It's a combination of loyalty, delegation and yes, respect that is needed.
  • Put the M in Marketing  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Put the Me in Marketing, as an exhortation to think of you, the dynamic and talented person that you are, going into marketing. Good, now we've got that explained can we return to the more normal use of the language? Excellent.
  • Part Time Or Full Time: The Thousand Pound Question.  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Deciding whether you wish to work full time of part time is one of those fairly vital questions that you have to sort out before you enter the recruitment process. The client director at Talisman is not really going to be all that overjoyed to find that the prospective COO he was about to send to interview for a full time post actually only wants to work part time: your wanting to work full time and applying for a part time position would also be somewhat unhelpful.
  • Out Of The Box Thinking: Not Just a Cliché  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    What we are actually hoping for when we use this cliché is exactly that people will stop thinking in clichés. It seem odd to use a figure of speech in that way, to ask people to do exactly the opposite but just think of it as one of the joys of the English language. It happens to all of us, in every walk of life, job, home and sports. We tend to think along the same lines as we have done before, as those around us do.
  • No One Wants A Slacker: Why Professionalism Is So Important  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    This should be fairly obvious yes? Outside a grunge rock band looking for a fan base slackers really aren't the sort that most are searching for?

    It is indeed true that slackers (dreamers is another possible word for them) do indeed have some pretty good ideas. Certainly, some of the best (and of course the worst) out of the box thinking comes from those outside the mainstream of the working world.This should be fairly obvious yes? Outside a grunge rock band looking for a fan base slackers really aren't the sort that most are searching for?
  • Is Relocating For You?  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Whether to relocate or not is one of those questions that really only you can answer. It's something that you might want to have worked out in your mind before even making that first visit or call to your Talisman recruitment specialist. In broad economics terms the points are as follows.
  • Is Being a Contractor For You?  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Whether to be a contractor or a direct employee is one of those great questions of the modern employment marketplace. There are pluses and minuses on both sides of the question and the real answer depends upon your own desires, what it is that you as an individual want out of life. Your recruitment consultant at Talisman can help guide you through the check lists and for employers the client director can aid in the decision about whether to look for employees or contractors but here's a rough guide.
  • I Am Spartacus: Being a Leader  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    The younger generation may not quite get this allusion (although serious readers of blogs will). At the end of the film Spartacus, starring Kirk Douglas and his dimple, the rebellious slaves are captured and one of the Roman Generals asks who is Spartacus? The aim being to find the leader and thus crucify him. Each and every one of the rebels then says 'I am Spartacus' and all are crucified, end of the film and one of those few times when you're allowed to cry in front of other men as the credits roll.
  • Did You Say Something? Why Communication Is Everything  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Well, no, we're not quite saying that communication is everything: it's not the universe nor in fact is it a decent pint of best bitter. It is however the crucial matter in what defines the success or not of a business. This might seem a little odd really. Surely having great products at decent prices is the most important thing? A monopoly always helps as well perhaps?
  • Dealing With Diversity  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    'Dealing' with diversity is one of these business buzzwords that we've never quite been able to fathom. Accepting diversity possibly, reveling in it, enjoying in it, profiting from it are all phrases that seem more likely to us. As grandmother used to say, the world would be a boring place if we were all the same, would it not?
  • Courage Isn't Just For Lions  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Well of course it isn't: when you're the biggest, baddest and toothiest thing in the jungle then what do you need courage for? Being a wildebeast, thirsty and thinking about going to the water hole when you're not quite sure whether there is a tufty tail waving in that patch of high grass over there: that requires courage (or gross and short lived stupidity perhaps).
  • Commitment Isn't a Dirty Word  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    That sounds rather like it's coming from the pages of an agony aunt trying to convince young men that settling down might be a good idea. However, cliché thought that be from that quarter it has value as a phrase in business as well.We do need to make sure that we are using the correct meaning of the word commitment here though. Not quite in the sense of the pig and the chicken deciding to have bacon and eggs for breakfast (the chicken is interested but the pig's pretty committed) but rather in the sense of being ready to stand by the arrangements made.
  • Careful Choosing Compensation  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Everyone aways needs to be careful in choosing compensation: both those who offer it and those who accept such a deal. It's rather like old Leo Tolstoy's note in Anna Karenina, there are so many ways in which such a relationship can go wrong that each one that goes right does so in its own way. Odd perhaps to compare an employment relationship with a marriage but it is apt at times.
  • Can't We All Just Get Along: Being a Team Player  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    For a team to work successfully they have to get along with each other, of course, and this is more a matter of politeness than anything else. But they need to be empowered, and that is where their manager comes in. Do they have the resources they need? The time, the tools, the training? Secondly, do they have the responsibility? Is how they do the job devolved down to that very team? Only by getting both of these things right will a team, however good in principle, actually work in practice. They must be both able to do the task and allowed to do it in the way they think best.
  • Body Language: The Silent Communicator  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Language is a great deal more complicated than just what comes out of our mouths. Even there we're aware that accents, intonations, tone of voice and so on can have a huge impact not just on what you mean to say but in what other people actually hear you as saying.
  • Being Challenged Is The Key To Success  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Economics is known as the dismal science and it is indeed true that it is rarely difficult to tell the difference between an economist and a ray of sunshine. One of the things about economists though is that they have (whatever you might think about their ability to predict stock markets or interest rates) a depressing habit of being correct.
  • Are Certifications/Licenses Important?  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Given that this answer isn't actually terribly helpful allow us to expand on this. In one sense certifications and licenses are vital. Without them it isn't just that you wouldn't be able to do the job you're applying for, it's that it would be illegal for you to do that job. While we can no doubt think of many instances where the law has been changed in recent years (things like someone on site knowing how to do CPR, or having a designated safety officer) which seem to have more to do with box ticking than anything useful, it must be obvious that unless you've got a license to be a solicitor, you can't be a solicitor. Similarly, if you haven't got the certification that you know how to build a house you're unlikely to run that side of the business for a national house builder.
  • Accountability Isn't Just For Accountants  By : Richard Taylor Edwards
    Accountability, and we're not just talking about whether someone is using double entry book keeping or not, nor whether they've signed off on the chittys. What we actually mean by this is that everyone is actually taking responsibility for what they do: more importantly, for what they don't.
  • Start A Home Based Business But Do Not Quit Your Job  By : Paul P. Duxbury
    It can be tempting to ax your job at the first sign of success in the process of running your business. However, it is important to remember that you may need your job for a period of time.
