The right attitude for a new job

So you made it through the interviews and you have succeeded over other potential applicants. Good for you! Now the real challenge beings... Get your game plan ready to tackle a new job that requires you to prove yourself. Your experience and skills are not the only things that are crucial to maintaining your position. The attitude that you have towards the job and your new co-workers can make or break you. First of all, when you start your new job it's time to tackle all the challenging tasks head-on. It doesn't matter if you don't get acknowledged for every task you complete successfully. Your overall progress in the team environment depends on your ability to challenge yourself and overcoming any obstacles. If  one person notices your hard work, usually so does the rest of your team. Don't let others intimidate your ability to establish your path in the company. Always be professional and do it for the team. Your progress depends on your success as an individual. Keep your head up during hardships and train yourself with any challenges given. I noticed that any problems in the work environment normally make me grow as an individual. Keep up the good work!

Resume Length

Does size matter when it comes to resume? Well, yes it does. You don't want your resume to be too wordy and you don't want it to be too brief. Here's the thing... If you have over 10 years of professional experience, then you can use up to 3 pages. In all other cases, try to get straight to the point and don't go over 2 pages. I would recommend to cut down on old experience that's more than 5 years old. If you are in the field that's very diverse in terms of your skills and experience, then build a skills-based resume which allows you to control the length of the resume by categorizing professional skills. Short resumes, on the other hand, portray your lack of experience. Please don't stress yourself out too much over the length of your resume! If you would like to keep it over 3 pages long, then organize it in the way that  will make an employer want to keep scrolling down. Keep it interesting and unique. Organization and quality of content is the key here. Good luck!

How to properly quit your job

So how do you put in your 2 week notice without burning any bridges? The most proper behavior is to always stay professional. You want to write resignation letter and give at least two weeks. If anyone gives you the hard time you just have to be a better person in all scenarios  For example, some people may be happier that you're leaving since you didn't do a great job in the first place, don't let that bother you, after all you are leaving for a better opportunity. When I left my previous job as a copywriter, many employees who wanted my position were eager for me to leave and I felt a sense of desperation. Many people showed their true characters. I also found out that many people were seeking another job as well and exchanged their contact information with me. Let's discuss the most anxious part of the whole process. Meeting with your boss to discuss your resignation. Well, here's my advice: Keep it concise and positive! Your boss may value you enough to offer a counteroffer for you to stay. Make sure to give warm thanks and explain that you would like to stay in touch. You never know. Don't burn your bridges! Also make sure to thank and say goodbye to all your co-workers.
