6 Resume Editing Tricks That Impress

6 Resume Editing Tricks That Impress6 Resume Editing Tricks That Impress00It can be utterly frustrating for job seekers to find out that hiring managers only spend a few seconds reading through a resume before determining if the person is worthy of a callback- or not.Since every second counts, below are six resume editing tricks that canimpress a potential boss in under six seconds.1. Keep it short.Youve held quite a few interesting jobs over the course of your career, and youre eager to share all of them with a potential boss. As a rule, though, your resume should be no longer than one page. Not only will a hiring manager not read beyond one page, but if your application is being screened by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), it might not process your entire job application and potentially cost you the position. So keep it short and sweet- and on one page only.2. Think like an employer.When youre writing your resume, you have to remember that youre not writing it for yourself, your e writing it aimed at a potential employer. So it makes sense that you should adopt an employer mindset when crafting your resume. What are the key things that he or she would be looking for when reading over your resume? The job listing itself can give you some clues. Look for what some of the job duties are or the type of experience theyre looking for. Then match it up with your own and highlight those important points on your resume.3. Edit out the unnecessary.Every job has a plethora of tasks, duties, and responsibilities that go along with it. But that doesnt mean you need to list each and every one. Select the top three points from each position and shine a spotlight on those. If youre listing a lot of duties per job as a way to fill up your resume, you should consider updating your resume style to a more creative one, such as a functional resume (to hide resume gaps) or an achievements-based resume. That will help remove the filler and focus on your strengths instead.4. Avoid obvious mistakes.It goes without saying that you should check your resume for spelling or grammatical errors, and yet, many earnest job seekers send out job applications full of goofs and gaffes. The reason youre probably spending so much time tweaking your resume that you didnt realize you left in unnecessary words or didnt spot the red squiggle underneath that word to alert you it was spelled incorrectly. So make it a rule that each and every time you touch your resume, youll spell-check it and make sure the grammar is golden, too. After all, one tiny goof could cost you a job interview.5. Be descriptive.You might have had a few jobs that paid the bills- but not much else. Thing is, you still need them to help round out your resume. That doesnt mean you cant be creative when it comes to describing the type of work you do. Look for interesting ways in which to describe some of the menial tasks you did, particularly if you do need to have them on your resume. Again, though, think l ike a hiring manager would by using descriptions that would be interesting to him as it relates to the position hes trying to hire for- and still accurately portray the type of work you performed.6. Have someone else proofread.Job searching sure aint cheap. In an attempt to cut corners, you might skimp on buying extra interview suits or take the train into the job interview instead of driving your car and paying for private parking. While not everyone can afford the services of resume writers (who can write and edit your resume to help you get the job that you want), its still of utmost importance to get an extra pair of eyeballs on your resume.Why? Most likely, youve written it, rewritten it, edited it, tweaked it, and played with it so many times youre blind to how it really reads. Ask a friend or family member to read it for you, and let them ask you questions about the jobs youve held. If you talk about your past positions, you might realize that you left out a key component fro m your duties that could be a selling point on your resumeThere are many ways to write and edit your resume. But by using some of these resume editing tricks (which can work for every resume, no matter what industry youre in), you can greatly improve your chances of having a resume that not only gets read beyond the initial first few seconds, but one that gets you called in for a job interview.Have your resume optimized?

True Progress in False Hearts

True Progress in False Hearts True Progress in False Hearts Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable. - The Wizard of OzYes, but I still want one. - The Tin WoodsmanOur hearts make us human. But anatomically speaking theyre just machines. Broken hearts of the emotional variety are perplexing. But fixing damaged organic hearts makes perfect mechanical sense to engineers. We can rebuild them we have the technology.But do we have the right technology to reach the Holy Grail a total, permanent, and fully implanted artificial heart? And can we replace that heart with something small, self-contained, and reliable enough to let patients live a relatively prototyp life?Maybe, says pioneering heart surgeon and researcher Dr. Albert unflexibel. Based on some of the exciting and radically divergent new designs about to hit the market, inflexibel believes science may soon declare victory in the 50-plus year race. And he is in a better position than most to judge he fire d the starting gun.Dr. Albert Starr (above top left) and Lowell Edwards co-invented the first successful prosthetic human heart valve. Images OHSUHeart of an IdeaStarrs co-invention of the first successful prosthetic human heart valve changed the world of cardiac surgery, presaged the invention of the first mechanized hearts, and created a boom in cardiac device innovation that would directly advance the race to that ultimate goal. In 1958, Starr welches a newly minted heart surgeon at the University of Oregon School of Medicine (now Oregon Health Science University, Portland) when retired hydraulics engineer Lowell Edwards approached him with a crazy idea. Edwards was determined to build a total artificial heart (TAH) and had a small fortune to invest, but he needed a partner fluent in physiology, anatomy, and surgery. As the only heart surgeon in town at the time, Starr was his man.Three Starr-Edwards heart valve prototypes. Image OHSUDespite Edwards urgency, the two agreed to s tart small. Starr knew any TAH device would require functioning mechanical valves which didnt exist yet. He also knew a prosthetic valve could save thousands of lives it its own right, even if the TAH project went nowhere. With that milestone as their initial goal, the two spent the next two years refining an elegantly simple caged-ball gadget that could support human blood flow for a lifetime. Marketed by Edwards start-up company (now Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) the Starr-Edwards valve stood for decades as the gold standard of this new niche in the medical device industry.Starr and Edwards proved that an artificial heart was not only practical but a potential gold mine. The race was on. The search hit a big milestone in 1969 with the first human implant at the Texas Heart Institute (Houston). By 1982, the famous Jarvik 7 TAH was a household word after patient volunteer Barney Clark lived with one for 112 days. This model was used widely during the 1980s and is the predecesso r of one of only two FDA-approved artificial hearts now on the market. Now sold as the SynCardia Systems (Tucson, AZ) temporary Total Artificial Heart, it was formally approved in 2004 for use as a bridge to transplant (BTT). In recent years, industry focus has shifted away from the TAH idea and toward more easily managed partial-assist devices such as BTTs.But the race isnt over. The number of available donor hearts annually serves only a fraction of the worlds 100,000 Class IV heart failure patients, and the demand is growing. The need for a TAH as a destination therapy is growing with it. One promising solution in the wings is the French-designed Carmat the brain child of legendary surgeon Alain Carpentier of Pariss Pierre and Marie Curie University. Although technical details are still closely held, Starr believes his long-time friend and co-Lasker Award winner is working on a battery-powered, two-pump design incorporating new biopolymers and an advanced electronics system that synchronizes pumping action with a patients exertion level.Be Still, My (Non)Beating HeartThus far, all successful TAHs have been designed on natures paradigm. They duplicate a patients natural heart rhythmic beating to propel blood through the body. But is natures way always the best way when it comes to automation? Starr says modern left ventricle assist devices (LVADs) that incorporate continuous-flow pumping systems could point to a new development the no-pulse heart. Thats the approach making headlines today out of the Texas Heart Institute, Houston, as surgeons O.H. Bud Frazier, M.D., and William E. Billy Cohn, M.D., advance their modified double-LVAD approach for total heart replacement.The teams ideas are largely based on the vision of surgeon-inventor-entrepreneur Richard Wampler, M.D. In the early 1980s, Wampler first championed the idea of a heart pump modeled not after nature but rather one of the oldest ideas in engineering the Archimedean screw. He used the principle successfully in a tiny continuous flow device called the Hemopump. The size of a pencil eraser, the axial-flow pump was installed via a catheter into the aortic valve, where a screw element rotating at up to 25,000 rpm to transfer blood from the left ventricle to the aorta. Tests revealed no red blood cell damage, which is always a major challenge in cardiovascular engineering. Just as importantly, they revealed that humans are perfectly capable of living actively and safely with no trace of a heartbeat or pulse (provided they wear a medical alert bracelet in case of emergency).Wampler convinced Bud Frazier that axial-flow pumps had the potential to last longer, pump better, and fit into more patients than other designs. Their work began on a new generation of miniature implantable LVADs that evolved into the industry-leading HeartMate II (Thoratec, Pleasanton, CA). Frazier and Cohn are now working to adapt two state-of-the-art LVADs used in tandem for total heart replacement. After implanting their no-pulse heart successfully in dozens of calves, it was successfully tested in a human patient in 2011. Their 55-year-old volunteer survived for five weeks, but ultimately died from other complications of his advanced disease. Fraziers concept had been proven, and thats been enough to sustain a wider research and development effort, including an alternative double LVAD system under investigation at the Cleveland Clinic.Starr, still highly active in the field as co-director of OHSUs new Knight Cardiovascular Institute, marvels at this totally new direction. Lowell Edwards and I envisioned the prosthetic heart valve as a requirement for an artificial heart that pumped like the real thing, Starr says of his life-saving invention. But 50 years later it turns out that may not have been necessary after all.Michael MacRae is an independent writer.Lowell Edwards and I envisioned the prosthetic heart valve as a requirement for an artificial heart that pumped like the real t hing.

4 signs indecision is stunting your career progress

4 signs indecision is stunting your career progress4 signs indecision is stunting your career progressMaking a career change can be a legitimately scary proposition. Work definitely takes up many of our waking hours and can also be a central aspect of our identities. It also pays the rent. So, taking job-related risks can have real, and negative, consequences. At the same time, avoiding smart risks that can help you advance your career can also negatively impact you. Below are four signs that, by avoiding that next step, you are actually sabotaging yourself.1. Its been a long time since you got a raise.If youre performing well at your job, its leid unreasonable to hope for an annual pay increase. In fact, some companies make salary adjustments an automatic part of yearly performance reviews. If this isnt your situation, its important to learn how to initiate conversations about pay with your supervisor. Asking for a raise can be awkward, partially because we have strong cultural tabo os around talking about money. There are also ineffective ways of asking for a raise that can burn bridges rather than increase your pay. However, research indicates that open conversations about salary can help women and people of color get compensated more fairly. There are also things you can do to prepare for a conversation with your manager that will increase your chances of a raise. There can be good reasons not to ask for a raise at work, but indecision isnt one of them.2. Youre not learning new things.When was the last time you learned something new at work? There is mounting research evidence that learning has enormous psychological and health benefits. The office is a natural place to engage in lifelong learning. Not only do we spend much of our lives there, but getting new skills can also have career benefits. If youve been in your position a long time, it can feel comfortable to be on autopilot. Its true that stretch projects and certifications often involve added respon sibility, time, and even money. However, not investing in your own learning can have costs, too.3. You have unresolved conflicts with colleagues.Workplace conflict is inevitable after all, we spend almost 8 hours a day with coworkers working on high-stakes projects. While theres probably no way to get around conflict being uncomfortable, there are ways to handle it constructively. In fact, when handled well, conflict can lead to deeper team relationships and more creative solutions to problems.4. Youre staying in a job that is no longer a good fit.Looking for a new job can be terrifying, even if you dont really like your current gig. However, there are times when looking for a new job is likely worth the risk. If youve tried some of the ideas above to improve your situation and are still feeling miserable, it might be worth exploring new opportunities. Its also important to remember that part of the bewerbungsgesprch process is you evaluating the company, not just them evaluating yo u. Doing some research during your interview process can help you decide whether a potential employer is a good fit. The anonymous reviews by other women on Fairygodboss are a great place to start.Taking that next step, whether its initiating a tough conversation, taking on a stretch project, or looking for a new position, can be anxiety-provoking. Just remember that sticking with the status quo is also a decision - and one that can have costs as well. Taking risks can be worth it, particularly when youve done your homework in advance.Rebecca Fraynt has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and is an all-around healthcare nerd.
