How to Beat the Competition to Your Dream Paralegal Career!

 

How to Beat the Competition to Your Dream Paralegal Career

 

Ever wanted to work as a paralegal? If so, there are a couple of different ways you can go about landing your dream paralegal career. You will obviously need to go to school first. You can’t just walk into a law firm and apply for a paralegal job. You need to have some form of formal training and maybe even a little experience, too. In this post, we will discuss the best ways to beat the competition to your dream paralegal career.

Unlock an Opportunity for Someone Else

One of the best ways you can land your dream paralegal career is by unlocking an opportunity for someone else. Now, you might think this is crazy, but the best way to make an impression on someone is by helping them out without wanting anything in return. When you do this, you make an impression not only on the person you are helping but also their employer and other people within your network who could offer you a job in the future.

Consider doing this for someone who works at your dream company. Connect with them on social media, possibly LinkedIn, and message them about an opportunity you know they will love. It opens the door for possible reciprocity down the road.

Become a Fan of the Company First

The first thing you should do before applying for any paralegal job is to become an all-out fan of the organization. Paralegals don’t just work in law firms. They can be found in major corporations that have in-house legal departments. Learn about the company in and out. Sign up for newsletters, “like” them on social media, and stay up-to-date on their blog. Once you are a true fan, you can then write your cover letter. Let your enthusiasm for the company shine through on the cover letter. Talk about your favorite product or service offered by the company and show how emotionally invested you are. This can only benefit you in the long run.

Create an Audition for Yourself

Not every job out there allows you to audition for it. If you work as a chef or actor, you are set. You can audition instead of really sitting down for a job interview. But, as a paralegal, you really can’t audition your skills or experience. Despite this, you need to find a way that you can audition for a potential employer. Call the interviewer before your interview and find out what recent problems the company has been having. Come up with a solution or two and turn it into a presentation you can make during the actual interview. It can’t hurt your chances!

Landing your dream paralegal job is not as out of reach as you might think. Take the time to plan ahead and consider different ways to make an impression, and you will be able to land the job.

4 Tips for Creating a Stronger Welding Resume

July_2016_welder

 

Your welding resume reflects what you have to offer to an employer.  When poorly designed, your resume may be tossed aside with little consideration.  To ensure your welding resume gets the attention it deserves, take a look at the following tips.

Start with a Strong Summary

The summary section provides recruiters with a quick introduction to what you have to offer, so make sure that it is concise and informative in nature.  Treat it like a headline, or billboard, used to entice the reader to want to know more.

Make Your Qualifications Stand Out

Include a section on your welding resume to highlight which skills you bring to the table, using bullet points to bring attention to your qualifications.  List relevant hard skills, such as specific welding techniques, and soft skills, such as supervisory experience.

Match your applicable skills to those listed in the job posting.  This can help your resume make it through automated screening processes and quickly establishes why you are a good fit for the position.

However, be sure to avoid listing skills that are often considered a given, or those that have little meaning, such as:

  • Hard Worker
  • Punctual
  • Familiarity with Welding Equipment and/or Safety Gear

These banalities are unnecessary and take up valuable space that could be used to address more important information.

Arrange Your Work Experience and Education

If you have experience working in the welding field, list your work experience before your education, especially if it is substantial.  If you have been a professional welder for some time, and the most recent position was in the welding field, list your work experience chronologically.  If the most recent position was in an unrelated field, consider listing your work history based on the relevance to the position.  This brings attention to the work you have completed that will be of the greatest interest to recruiters.

For those looking to enter the welding field, list your education first to demonstrate your credentials. The education you list can include degrees achieved, such as an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Welding Technology, or various industry-specific certifications or completed training programs.  This allows recruiters to see that you do have formal training before reviewing work experience that is not related to the field.

Confirm Your Contact Information is Correct

While adding contact information seems simple, it is critical that it is listed correctly. Confirm your name, email address and phone number are accurate, as these are the most likely ways a recruiter will contact you.  Don’t label your phone number or email address, as the format used is recognizable on its own.

If you are interested in finding a new position, the professionals at Advance Staffing Solutions are here to help.  No matter your experience level, they can help match you to job opportunities throughout the area.  Contact us today!

Looking for a Career in IT? Now Is the Right Time!

July_2016_IT

 

Technology.  It’s in almost every environment; work, home, school, and play.  Technology continues to grow and change, creating new ways to accomplish tasks big and small in the most sophisticated office buildings and the largest production facilities.

It can be said with a particular level of certainty that technology is here to stay, which makes this an excellent time to start a career in the field of information technology (IT).  Whether you are interested in creating new products and programs, securing networks from outside intrusion, or assisting users with getting the most out of their technological resources, IT is where the work is.

Diversity in the Sector

Long gone are the days where IT was a simple category on its own.  Today, there are a variety of specialties, often with additional subspecialties within them, which require different knowledge bases and skill sets to perform the associated duties successfully.  Larger IT departments may have database administrators, information security analysts, network architects, software developers, and computer programmers.

As voice and messaging technologies interconnect with network technology, newer hybrids are being created in the areas of voice over IP (VoIP) and unified messaging.  The proliferation of mobile devices, including interest in the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement has increased the need for specialized support.

With all of the potential careers in the field, it is likely you can find one, or a few, that interest you personally.

Diversity in the Work Environment

Today, computers are common place in almost every type of business.  Whether you are working for the federal, state or local government, a large corporate entity, or a small business, you will likely use a computer during the day.  Even restaurants have seen increases in the use of networking technologies as the option to use tablets at customer tables has increased.

With the widespread use comes opportunities in every arena.  Whether you are interested in working for a large tech firm or would prefer to consult for multiple small businesses, IT skills are necessary in all walks of life.

This also makes skills highly transferrable, as IT skills can be applied in a large number of environments in almost every city across the country.  Not only does this help in terms of career advancement, it also means you are never completely stuck working in one business, one city, or even one state.  Your career can travel with you wherever you choose to go.

Competitive Pay and Benefits

Many IT professions are expected to have faster than average growth within the U.S. and unemployment rates in the sector are generally low. This makes the demand for skilled IT professional rise as businesses compete for the best talent. Along with the increase in demand comes higher rates of pay and solid benefits.

It is not uncommon, based on data from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for an IT professional to earn well above $80,000 per year.  Additionally, most IT professional work full-time, so they often have access to additional benefits such as medical and retirement options.

Starting Your Next Career

Whether you are considering a new career in IT, or are interested in taking your current IT career in a different direction, the specialists at Advance Staffing Solutions can help guide you along with way.  Contact us today and see where your career can take you.

You Could Be Blowing Your Interview Before You Meet the Interviewer!

July_2016_BlowingInterview

 

If you think your interview doesn’t begin assessing until the interviewer enters the room, you are sorely mistaken.  The moment you walk in the door, you are being assessed, and mistakes you make now can cost you a job offer, even if the interview itself goes well.

In order to give yourself the highest chance for success, avoid these pre-interview blunders.

Not Arriving at the Right Time

While most people know that arriving late is a major faux pas, arriving too early can also be a mistake.  You may think that checking in 30 minutes early shows eagerness and punctuality, but it can actually be interpreted as rude.

Not only may you be sitting in the reception area for an extended amount of time, if the interviewer is informed of your arrival, not only are they dealing with the stress of their jobs and (possibly) other interviews, now they may feel pressured to move faster because of your presence, and equating your presence with stress is not a great way to make a first impression.

To be safe, look at coming in approximately 10 minutes prior to your scheduled arrival time, even if you have to wait in the parking lot to make that happen.  10 minutes demonstrates punctuality, but it doesn’t add the pressure associated with an extremely early arrival.

And Speaking of Walking In…

The moment you open the door, you are open to scrutiny.  Often, a receptionist will be asked for their opinion regarding how you presented yourself, which means a slipup here can have consequences.

Make sure you are presentable prior to coming in through the door.  In cases where there is access to a bathroom before you enter the reception area, such as in a multitenant building, take a moment to make sure your clothes are straight and that you generally look well put together.  If that isn’t an option, take the time to look in a mirror in your car to do a quick review.

If bad weather is on the horizon, come prepared with mechanisms to ensure you stay as dry as reasonably possible, and that any copies of your resume stay dry, too.  An umbrella and a file folder can go a long way.

Additionally, make sure all of your interactions are polite and professional.  Take the time to say “please” and “thank you” when appropriate.  Smile, and act as though you are happy to be there.  Remember, they are doing you a favor by speaking with you, not the other way around.

Avoid Negative Internal Dialogue

While most people are nervous before an interview, allowing negative self-talk to overcome your other thoughts will only make you feel less confident.  Instead, consider focusing on a positive mantra or other simple statement that makes you feel more confident.  A simple, “I’ve got this!” can be surprisingly affective.

No Time for Clerical Job Hunting? Use These Tips!

July_2016_Clerical

 

For those working long hours, finding the time to look for a new office position can be a daunting task.  Whether you are working as a general office clerk or providing support to an executive, working in a high-pressure, low-paying position can take its toll.

The increased stress, sleepless nights, overtime hours compiled on top of regular day-to-day personal responsibilities wreaks havoc on the delicate work-life balance many of us try to maintain.

So, how do you squeeze a clerical job search into such a demanding schedule?  Consider these options.

Do Your Job, but Only Your Job

Superstar employees are notorious for accepting more and more responsibility even when it is not the wisest move.  If additional workplace obligations are making your work schedule impossible to manage, then consider putting them down.

Don’t take on extra duties that do not have to be completed by you.  Instead, concentrate on completing your core tasks and take the time to do them well.

This isn’t a license to quit performing your duties entirely, but a way to focus your efforts to those that truly drive the success of your current position.  Determine what the base expectations are for the position and work to complete those, but only those.

Additionally, only work the hours you are truly required to work.  If you are supposed to report at 8:00 a.m. and leave at 5:00 p.m., then do just that.  If your job does not require you to be available at all hours day and night, then don’t be available.  Stop checking your phone and email looking for work outside of the hours you work.

By eliminating extraneous duties and limiting your availability, you can perform the work necessary based on the requirements of the position without overburdening yourself.  Not only can this help with work-life balance, it can also supply you with the time necessary to look for other employment options.

Get Outside Help

If you are currently working within the duties of your position, you may want to enlist outside help in looking for a new position.  Many staffing firms have extensive experience in matching qualified candidates to available positions.

Not only can they help make sure your resume, cover letter, or other documentation is up-to-date and appropriate for the position, they often have connections to various area businesses.  These connections provide the opportunity to find positions that may not be publicly advertised.

Staffing firm professionals also have the ability to market you to companies even when a specific job opening isn’t currently listed.  Their in-depth knowledge of the industry and local companies gives them insight into when a candidate is a good fit for a specific company, allowing them to use their connections to reach out on your behalf.

If you would like help with your job search, contact Advance Staffing Solutions today!  Let their 25 years of staffing experience work for you.

3 Cool Tech Tools to Improve Your Job Search

Sept_2016_TechTools

 

Searching for a new job can be both exciting and overwhelming.  Whether it is working your way through applicant tracking systems, keeping multiple online profiles up-to-date, and networking through social media, technology has never been as prevalent in the process as it is today.  If you are looking for ways to stay ahead of the competition in your job search, having technology working for you instead of simply being with you, here are three innovative tech tools that can give you an edge.

Jobscan Your Way to a Better Resume

If it seems like you are never getting called in for an interview, it is possible your resume is to blame.  Many companies use automated screening processes designed to eliminate certain resumes based on the presence or lack of certain key information.  If your resume doesn’t fit the parameters, it may not even be seen by a person before being removed from contention.

In cases like these, Jobscan is the perfect tool to whip your resume into shape.  Jobscan takes your resume and compares it directly to the job posting to which you are applying, and provides guidance based what is, or is not, present in your resume.  This allows you to tweak your information to put you in the best position possible to have your resume seen by an actual person.

Purple Squirrel is Your Inside Connection

Purple Squirrel provides you with direct access to people who are currently working for your target company.  The current employees, referred to as Ambassadors, provide knowledge to those looking to become an employee themselves.  Interested parties can review the Ambassadors information, schedule a consultation, and receive feedback regarding potential next steps, all from one place.

While contact with an Ambassador does not guarantee employment, it can be used to learn about unadvertised positions, as well as obtain referrals from those who are currently connected with the company.

At this time, Purple Squirrel is still in beta, but you can apply for an invite from the site.  Additionally, Ambassadors can charge fees for their services, but all employment is verified prior to their account activation, so if you pay for a chance to talk to someone at your dream company, you can rest assured that they truly do work there.

The Premium Side of LinkedIn

LinkedIn offers various levels of premium membership, each with additional offerings that may be useful to a job hunter.  For example, the lowest tier plan, receive additional InMail message benefits and can retrieve more details about the people who view your profile.  The next tier provides advanced search filters and adds unlimited search options in your extended network.

There are more advanced tiers as well, allowing you to take as much control over your LinkedIn profile’s destiny as you wish, but even the lower tiers provide insight that can be used to craft a more effective profile.

Help From the Experts

Staffing firm professionals also have the ability to market you to companies and locate unadvertised listings.  If you would like help with your job search, contact Advance Staffing Solutions today!  Let our 25 years of staffing experience work for you.

End Your Industrial Interview with These Never-Fail Questions

Sept_2016_IndustrialInterview

 

As an industrial interview draws to a close, the last question the interviewer will ask is practically inevitable, yet it leaves a lot of candidates stumped.  When you are faced with the classic, “Do you have any questions for me?” close, take the opportunity to find out what you would like to know about the company.  When in doubt, consider these questions your go-to solution to keep the conversation going.

“Can you describe a typical workday for a person working in this role?”

While many job postings indicate the specific skills that are required to complete certain job functions, they are not always indicative of an average workday.  By asking for examples at the end of your industrial interview, you can see how the hiring manager envisions success in this position.  Additionally, if they have difficulties describing how the position fits into the daily picture, it may show that the details are not entirely known, which could translate into some serious adjustment periods when the position is initially filled.

“How is conflict managed within the organization?”

This question is most useful if the interview is with your potential direct supervisor, but can also provide insight if you are interviewing with another person within the management chain.  You can learn how the prospective supervisor or manager views conflict resolutions, including their personal style or technique.  Depending on the response, this may provide insight to more than just their personal preferences, since an example pulled from a real life experience may show the kinds of conflicts that have occurred previously in that workplace.

“What do you enjoy about working here?”

If the person who is interviewing you is not happy about their current work situation, that stress may flow to those who work for them.  By asking them to speak to the positive parts of being with the organization, you can understand which aspects are valued by the interviewer.  This can help you set expectations as to how certain portions of the environment or work function.  If the interviewer has trouble answering the question, it may be a warning sign that there are issues behind the scenes.

“Over the next five years, how will the company be growing or changing?”

This can also provide insight into how those who work for the organization feel about its current direction.  If the interviewer feels positive about future developments, it will likely show in their response.  However, if the interviewer cannot seem to find something positive to say, or seems incredibly perplexed by the question in general, it may indicate that the future of the organization is not widely known, may be in flux, or may not be entirely positive.

“Do you have any questions or concerns that are preventing me from being your top candidate for this position?”

This opens the door for the interviewer to ask any follow-up questions that may have come to mind during the process, especially in cases where interview processes are standardized in a way that prevents the interviewer from initially delving deeper.  Not only does this show you are confident in your ability to address any concerns, it also provides you an opportunity to address them specifically.  If a concern is presented, answer it completely, and then allow them to continue requesting more information as needed.

Follow These Tips to Set Temp Employees Up For Success

Sept_2016_Temp-Success

 

When your business could benefit from an extra person on a short-term basis, bring in temp employees may be the ideal solution.  In order to ensure that the person brought in has the highest chance to succeed, consider the following tips are part of your hiring plan.

Clearly State the Job Requirements

The first step to helping temp employees be successful is to be sure you are presented with the best candidates for the job.  In order to find the best fit, make sure you clearly present your needs and expectations to the staffing consultants who are assisting with the placement.

For example, if you are looking for some help with certain accounting processes, it is more valuable to let the staffing firm know that you require someone with QuickBooks experience, instead of a vague requirement, such as computer skills.  If certain knowledge areas, skills, or abilities are must-haves for the job, make sure they are mentioned clearly and specifically to ensure you are presented with the right candidates for your needs.

Orient the Temporary Employee to the Job

Even if an assignment is short-term, take the time to familiarize temp employees with the work environment, including other members of the team and any available employee facilities.  Make sure they know exactly who to speak to should they have questions about the job, and let them know what is expected of them.  Cover common questions including when and where breaks occur, if any meetings or appointments will occur, or if there may be changes to the hours in which they are expected to work.

Treat them like Your Other Employees

Even though a temporary employee may only be with you a short time, it is important that you treat them with the same level of respect and courtesy you give to your full-time, permanent employees.  Not only will this help a temporary employee feel more like one of the team, it may also lead to a better overall performance.

Additionally, you have the same level of responsibility regarding a temporary employee’s safety as you do to your other employees.  It is important that you do not ask a temporary employee to perform work in a manner that is not safe just because they are only with you a short time.  Even though the temporary employee may work through an agency, you do have a level of responsibility regarding the employee’s wellbeing.

By following the tips above, you will be well on your way to ensuring your temporary employee is set on a path towards success.  If you are looking for more information about hiring temporary workers or are considering bringing one into your business soon, contact Advance Staffing Solutions today for a consultation today.

Habits to Avoid for a Harmonious Working Relationship

 

Sept_2016_HabitsForHarmony

 

If you spend time with others on the job, maintaining a positive working relationship can be a key to your professional success as well as the success of the business. It can lead to an overall more rewarding work experience, create lasting relationships, and provide future networking opportunities. In order to make sure that your contributions to the environment are conducive to teamwork, and general harmony, avoid these workplace faux pas.

Keep Your Volume Reasonable

While no one is expected to work completely silently, do be aware of any extraneous or intrusive noise you may be creating.  Different people respond to noise in different ways, and some people may find unnecessary sounds incredibly distracting.

In order to promote a more peaceful environment, make an effort to speak softly, ensuring that your voice carries no further than necessary.  Use headphones when listening to music, videos, or online presentations.  Unless you are working in your own office with a door, avoid speakerphone at all costs.

What’s that Smell?

Whether it is highly aromatic foods, strong colognes or perfumes, or a lovely bouquet, smell is another area that can raise the level of tension in a workplace.  Unless you work in a restaurant that serves foods with a strong scent, avoid items like fish or Brussel sprouts.  While they may be healthy options, the scent can be quite intrusive to your coworkers.

While food-related smells may be distracting, certain scents can cause a violent reaction to someone who is allergic.  For the sake of a healthy work environment, avoid the unnecessary use of scent, such as perfumes and colognes, and avoid items such as flowers and candles that may not sit well with your coworkers.

Be Aware of Personal Space

Even if certain areas do not actually belong to specific individuals, do be aware of how you may be encroaching on others.  For example, avoid coming to a coworker’s desk for basic chitchat.  Not only may you be preventing them from working, you may also be contributing to the overall level of noise pollution in the area.

In public spaces, remember that other people have as much of a right to the space as you do.  Try not to block certain amenities, such as sinks, microwaves, and coffee pots, unless you are currently using them.  While we are all occasionally caught up in a conversation, distracting us from the environment around us, do try to remain vigilant.

If You Are Sick, Stay Home

Coming into the office sick is a major faux pas for many reasons.  Not only may your symptoms be distracting to others (such as a nagging cough), you are also potentially infecting your coworkers.  While you may be concerned about meeting certain deadlines, in most cases, someone would much rather cover for you for one day than lose a week to the flu.

If your current work environment is less than desirable, and you would like help with your job search, contact Advance Staffing Solutions today!  Let their 25 years of staffing experience work for you.

Passion vs. Profession – Ask Yourself These 5 Questions Before Making a Career Decision

Sept_2016_PassionVsProfession

 

The idea of following your passion can seem like the ultimate achievement.  If you are considering whether you should stay on your current path or change directions, consider these five questions to see if your passion is really where you should be headed, and whether or not this is a wise career decision.

Do you truly know where your passion lies?

While many people love the idea of following their passion, not everyone has something in their lives they are passionate about.  We are raised to believe that our passion will be some kind of deep-seated need that simply cannot be ignored.  While this will be true for some, others may not have found something that moves them to that level.

Others may have passions, but that doesn’t mean they necessarily connect to any particular job opportunities or career options.

Do you have a plan?

Unless your passion will immediately replace the income and benefits of your profession, a plan is necessary.  This includes financial planning to deal with any changes in income, as well as covering for benefits that are attached to your current employer, such as medical insurance and retirement options.

Additionally, if following your passion is going to require additional resources, such as space to work or longer hours, you should examine how these changes will impact the rest of your commitments and plan accordingly.

Can you still make ends meet?

Regardless of the path you choose, certain expenses will need to be met.  Even people who are completely debt free have monthly expenses, such as food and utilities.  If you are going to follow your passion, it needs to be able to provide for you in a sustainable way, unless you have other mechanisms available to cover your costs.

For example, a dual income household may be able to cover all of the required expenses through one income, allowing the other person to potentially pursue their passion.

Does your passion provide value to others?

While you may be incredibly passionate about the topic, others may not feel the same way.  In order for your passion to work as a profession, it must provide the kind of value that others want to support, ideally by becoming customers.  This may require doing a large amount of research into the field, working on improving your education, and learning about the demand for the product or service.

Is there demand in the area you plan to operate?

In some cases, there may not be a high demand for a particular product or service in a particular geographically area, which can make it a difficult passion to pursue if the goal is oriented more towards direct interaction, such as through brick and mortar stores.  In cases where the majority of the operations can be conducted online, demand can be examined based on a larger region.

At other times, the demand may exist, but high competition can pose a challenge.  This can be apparent in many industries, such as restaurants.  In these cases, you must determine how to differentiate yourself from other offerings.

Maybe You Just Need a Change?

In the end, you may not be frustrated with your current profession as much as you are with your current position.  If it is possible that all you need is a change of scenery, consider other options in your current field, or a closely related one. If you need help finding new opportunities, the professionals at Advance Staffing Solutions have the expertise you need.  Contact us today and take your career in a new direction.
