Comment on Staying the Course by Ira Sieber

A top 5 enterprise communications systems provider comes to mind. From my special time there, I learned how to create an atmosphere of success and empowerment within a sales organization. Motivating the sales and support team to accomplish goals as a team was instilled. The secret to success was developing the team to work co-hesively through outside teambuilding activities such as whitewater rafting. Everyone in the boat had a role and responsibility. Everyone had to work together to be successful. Everyone was important to reach the goal of completing the task. By providing these types of activities we learned about each other and how we can best work together to be successful in the work environment.

Thank you for allowing me to share my experience. This was a great forum.

I really liked the idea of providing examples along with the tailored approach.

From a resume submitter standpoint, the trick is to be concise.

Question for Mercedes:
“For a person with experience, do you think it would be a good idea to use a summary at the top with a bullet list related to the tailored job and then cover details related in each job below?”

Hi Mercedes,

Thank you for the thoughtful article about resumes. I have encorporated that advice both as a hiring manager and a candidate for several years now.

In supporting the spirit of the article, please note that the text reads “loose” interest instead of “lose.”

Best Wishes,
