Kaplans Resume Writing Tip - Writing a Successful Resume For Your Career
Kaplan's Resume Writing Tip - Writing a Successful Resume For Your CareerWhat is Kaplan's resume writing tip? They say: 'When it comes to writing your resume, there are no rules. Everything is up to you.'I know this is a thought that strikes fear into the hearts of many writers, but it is true. When you are not a writer, you are still an editor, and it is the job of the editor to ensure that the resume that is written remains an accurate reflection of the skills and experiences of the person that has created it.The first thing to keep in mind is that this is a career objective, and it should reflect your personal career goals. As we know, people who have the skills and experience will usually get better salaries than those without the same. As a resume writer, it is your job to ensure that you document your skills and accomplishments in a manner that is relevant to your prospective employer. It is not enough to simply list them, but to clearly define what they are, and to make the em ployer understand what these skills mean to you.The second thing to keep in mind when you are writing your resume is that all writers are copywriters at Kaplan. No one else has the 'creative' abilities of copywriters, or the 'original' research skills that will ensure that you go from a first to a successful career. Your resume will have to make sense, and you need to be able to communicate clearly about what your skills and interests are. For this reason, it is the job of the resume writer to be patient with his client.Once you've captured the reader's attention and gained his interest, the whole purpose of the resume is to help him determine whether you can deliver on the promises he is looking for in his company. You've got to meet or exceed his expectations, and if you don't do this, the resume is simply a waste of time.In many cases, writing a resume for Kaplan will only take up about 5 minutes of your time, and Kaplan will create a great resume for you. This means that you don 't need to waste any more time, money, or energy just to get a job at a particular company.So if you've been writing resumes for Kaplan for some time now and have never received any positive feedback from your clients, it is probably time for you to write another one. If you really want to be successful in your career, you need to find your own way of writing a resume, and then develop your skills to the point where the resume you send out today will be in demand.

5 Career Insights From Millionaire Business Owners
5 Career Insights From Millionaire Business Owners Recently, U.S. Trust (which is a part of Bank of America) released the results of their latest survey of 242 high-net-worth business owners, all of whom have at least $3 million in investable assets. The surprise? Many came from humbler backgrounds than youâd expect. If you want to be a success, thereâs a lot you can learn from these millionaire business owners about risk, reward, and professional values. Here are a few of the most interesting takeaways from the survey. Most donât come from money and privilege. The majority (about two-thirds) of those surveyed came from middle class or poor backgrounds. Eighty-seven percent of respondents said they came from a family that âvalued discipline,â 78 percent said their families encouraged their talents, and 60 percent reported âearly work participation.â While entrepreneurs donât necessarily come from privileged backgrounds, the roots of their ambition and drive are generally evident in some capacity.

Roughly 40 percent of those surveyed said that they work with family members, and most see their involvement as helping to give them âa competitive advantage.â There are upsides and downsides to working with family. But, when someone is really committed to their business, as these owners are, itâs a pretty natural fit. âEntrepreneurs tend to think of their business as an extension of themselves and their family, often their greatest source of motivation and strength so characteristic of successful owners,â Keith Banks, president of U.S. Trust, said in a press release. âThe hard work and sacrifices needed to create and build a business make being an entrepreneur very much a family affair.â Read More: Do You Need More Autonomy at Work? They prefer to work this way, even though they think itâs harder. Despite the fact that the majority (74%) of the business owners surveyed said that working for themselves was harder than working for someone else, 8 out of 10 of them would still prefer to own their own business. These entrepreneurs are motivated and driven toward propelling their own successes. â¦but itâs not really about the money. You might think that millionaire business owners would be motivated to start their own companies by a desire to drive up their bottom line, but actually thatâs not the case. In fact, the majority of those surveyed said they were motivated by an interest in controlling their own fates and pursuing their passions, not by a desire to earn more money. Although, 83 percent reported that they feel that business owners ultimately earn more than they would if they worked for someone else.

A very large percentage (49%) of respondents said that most of their assets and income are tied to their business. Still though, 63 percent said that they donât have an exit plan.
