If you are a career consultant, a permanent employee looking for a new opportunity, or a hiring manager looking for new talent on your team you may struggle with a technical resume. Making the right updates to your resume or finding the right resumes in the “stack” can be a challenge. With everything you do on a project how do you record all of your accomplishments on paper without it being 20 pages long? As a hiring manger, how do you find the project skills you are searching for?
It is a special time at REMEDI as we celebrate 20 years in business. Our CEO Tracy Loetz said “I am especially proud of our company ethics and the morals of the people we have hired. Brad will tell you that "doing the right thing" has always been a #1 priority for me. Our reputation for integrity and honesty is a significant reason why we have grown and been in business for so long.”
I am a fan of the History Channel and one of my guilty pleasures is watching Swamp People. It is crazy to me how people want to hunt Alligators, an animal that can live up to a hundred years and grow to 13-15 feet long or longer. If you have never watched the show, the hunters put bait on a line to catch them and then they have to fight with them to get to a quarter sized kill shot and haul them in the boat. Most people struggle and fight with the 600 pound monsters until they can get to the kill spot. I saw a different approach on a recent episode. Liz and her daughter (the only female hunters on the show), started off pulling and tugging the line like every other time but this time the alligator was wrapped around the tree like dogs do with their leashes. The line was very close to snapping and they would have lost the prized alligator and $650. Liz decided she had to try a different approach and gave the alligator a whole lot of slack and waited for him to calm down. This surprised and confused the alligator and he decided to come up out of the water to look and see what happened out of curiosity. As soon as he surfaced, the fight was over.
You are probably wondering what this has to do with EDI……..

“I took a lower paying position during the down turn. How do I search for a new opportunity?”
In 2008 thousands of people were laid off due to the downturn in the economy. Many people had to accept what was available out there but maybe not necessarily what they wanted to be doing....for a lot less money. Another common situation was the people who were able to keep their job but had to accept a lot more responsibility to pick up the slack from people being laid off and possibly had to accept a decrease in pay.
