Inspirational Quote - Hallie Crawford
Inspirational Quote A friend sent this to me last week. Interesting is a nice way of saying it right ?? Challenges are what makes life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. Josh J. Marine Remember to turn your issues or worries into challenges or problems to be solved instead of mulling over them ad nauseum. Worrying doesnt help. And we tend to worry about the wrong things anyway. When youre worrying, ask yourself What do I need to do about this? Then get cracking on it. Happy Monday, Hallie career consulting Inspirational Quote This quote is a little sassy and in your faceâ¦I like that Dont take yourself so seriously. No one else does. I chose this because Ive been thinking lately about not getting so worked up about the little things. I can get upset about little frustrations, just like anyone else does. But when I look back on these issues a week later, even just a few hours later sometimes, I wonder why I got so worked up. What good does getting worked up do? Not a whole lot to be honest. And I realize that often, I just need to take myself less seriously and remember that things will work out. They almost always do. So where do you take yourself too seriously? And how can you lighten up a little, realizing that in the scheme of things, these small things dont matter so much anyway? Happy Monday! Career Coach Hallie Inspirational Quote This quote is from a card that one of my clients, Katie Johnson, sent to me last week. It truly made my day! It is such an accurate statement about coaching, and why I am passionate about what I do. I wanted to share it with you⦠Most people dont know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you dont get too comfortable and fall asleep and miss your life. Where are you falling asleep and getting too comfortable? Make a change today, dont wait. You dont want to miss your life. Contact me, Im here to help. Related links: The greatest risk Career Seekers teleclass Career Coach Inspirational Quote I really like this oneâ¦We can always learn from our challenges. Lifes challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, theyre supposed to help you discover who you are. Bernice Johnson Reagon Ask yourself these questions this week: What have you been struggling with lately? What have you learned about yourself as a result? If your challenge is feeling lost without direction, if youre having trouble finding a career you truly enjoy, or youre not sure what the next step is for you in your life, take a step towards taking charge of your life by giving me a call. This is what I do best. Happy Monday! Career Counseling Inspirational Quote Self-trust is the essence of heroism. Ralph Waldo Emerson I first read this quote at the Martin Luther King Center here in Atlanta. Trusting myself and my instincts was something I was struggling with at the time so it hit me like a brick. (In a good way of course :)) Theres a mental image in my mind of how it felt to stand there and read that, where it was located in the museum, and what the quote looked like. Arent life-altering events always like that?! We can remember every detail of those but sometimes forget our home phone number. MLK was a hero. He trusted his instincts. On top of that, he was courageous enough to express his beliefs and take a stand for them. Today and this week I encourage you to follow his example in your own way. Do you trust yourself? Take a moment to think about thisâ¦and be honest. My journey to self-trust (which continues today) began with learning who I am, what my values and priorities are, and accepting myself with all my imperfections. Becoming clear about what is important to me in life enabled me to make clearer decisions, and trust those decisions. The more Ive learned to listen to my intuition and trust it, the smoother things have gone for me. Im here to help you do the same-identify your priorities, know what you want your life and career to be about, and listen to your intuition. I am passionate about doing so because Ive been there. I know how it feels to be lost and not trust myself. Feel free to read more about the Unlocking Your Purpose teleclass coming up next week. Years ago it helped me learn to trust myself and gain clarity about who I was and what I wanted in life. Im grateful to be able to lead this class myself now, because of how life-changing it was for me. Warmly, Hallie Career Transition Coach Inspirational Quote In a recent blog post I asked, âWhat is the impact you have on those in your life? And whatâs the impact you want to have?â I think this inspirational quote answers that question for all of us: âBe the person you want others to see you as.â Sometimes we need to be reminded that life isnât all about doing ⦠doing ⦠doing. Itâs important to just âbe.â Enjoy the journey! Have fun! Take risks! Be the person you want to be! When you become the person you want to be, you are much more likely to achieve your goals. Why? Because you are more in alignment with the things you really want in life. We are integrated beings, so everything affects everything. As you prepare for 2007, ask yourself: Who is the person I really want to be? What is the purpose and mission statement for my life? What are the traits in me that I would like to cultivate? What are the habits I would rather leave behind? How can I commit to being that person? Let me help you in this experience of discovering who you want to be. Join me in my Unlocking Your Purpose teleclass, or contact me for one-on-one coaching. Career Testing Coach, Inspirational Quote Happy Monday everyone! How was your St. Pattys Day? Ours was lovely. We went to an outdoor festival and I stayed out longer than I have in a while. (I tend to have a short attention span with these things.) The outdoor party was fun except there was a chilly breeze blowing through Piedmont Park here in the A-T-L. At the Park Tavern off of Piedmont Park, they hosted a green mashed potato eating contest pretty funny I must say. Another fun thing happened to me over the weekend. I was flattered to be mentioned in the Brazen Careerist Coachology: Creating a path through your twenties. For you young adults out there, she has some good tips for creating a path through your twenties so check it out. Iv decided this week, and some of next week, is going to be small business owner week. Many of my clients go on to be entrepreneurs in some capacity, whether its full time or part time. Id like to share some of the people and products I have found to be incredibly useful in growing my small business. So enjoy, and I hope these are helpful! Personal Note: By the way, many more of you are commenting on my posts. I appreciate that. One of my goals with this blog is to have it be one of the best career-resources on the web. So feel free to let me know what else youd like to see here or learn about. Finally, heres your Inspirational Quote for the week: No one is in charge of your happiness except you. Hallie

Recommendations and Reviews Include Them in Your Resume
Recommendations and Reviews Include Them in Your Resume Spread the loveYour resume is the most important tool in your job search toolkit. To maximize its potential, you need to ensure that it properly conveys your potential value to any employer. Naturally, you will want to include every bit of relevant information that sells that message. But what about important testimonials like recommendations and reviews? Should they be included in your resume as well? After all, what could be more compelling than an endorsement from those who have worked with you in the past?While recommendations and reviews are important, you should never include them in any resume. While that might seem counterintuitive, there are some very good reasons for omitting them from that essential document. In this post, we will explain why recommendations and reviews have no place in a resume and offer a better way to provide that information to potential employers.Including Recommendations or Review On a ResumeRecommendations and Reviews Take up Valuable SpaceThe most important reason for leaving recommendations and reviews out of your resume is that they take up space that you could put to better use.Remember, your resume is supposed to focus on showcasing your qualifications and potential value as an employee. To do that, you need to highlight your skills, experience, and achievements. More importantly, you need to do that in a condensed format that is no longer than two pages. Use that space wisely.Recommendations and Reviews May Not be NecessaryOf course, thereâs a good chance that the employer may not even want recommendations and reviews. Many of todayâs companies understand that employers are increasingly reluctant to provide useful testimonials â" largely due to fears about lawsuits.As a result, companies that want such references will generally ask for them.

In fact, including those endorsements may detract from your overall focus on qualifications, achievements, and potential value.LinkedIn is a Superior Way to Include Recommendations and ReviewsNaturally, we are not suggesting that you ignore your recommendations and reviews altogether. Those endorsements do have value, after all. The resume is just not the appropriate place to share that information, however. Fortunately, there is a platform that can provide a perfect way to share those endorsements with potential employers and others: LinkedIn!

For example, https://linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname/. Obviously, you may need to add your middle name or initial if your desired name is already taken.Include your LinkedIn URL after the email address in your resume contact information section.If you want to draw attention to your recommendations and reviews on LinkedIn, mention the link in your cover letter, and perhaps a brief quote from one of those endorsements.In addition, make sure that your recommendations and reviews are relevant to the position youâre seeking. Obviously, you also want to ensure that youâre only directing attention to truly positiv e reviews. You should also polish your LinkedIn summary and perhaps include quotes from your recommendations within that text.For example:âI was honored to have Alpha Corp Marketing Director Tom Thompson praise my âinnovative strategic mind and commitment to excellence as team leader.â(We wrote a good post here with more tips on how to write a great LinkedIn recommendation)When Employers Request ReferencesSometimes, employers will include a request for references in a job listing. Some job-seekers may be tempted to respond by including those details in their resumes. Resist that temptation. Instead, continue to rely on your LinkedIn recommendations and reviews. In addition, create a separate list of references that you can send along with your cover letter and resume. Three references are standard in those cases. Include the personâs name, company and job title, address, phone, and email.The Bottom Line on Recommendations and ReviewsRecommendations and reviews can provide a great boost to your efforts to land an interview and job.
