LinkedIn has really grown in popularity and now is probably the most popular place to find a job. There are also some other sites that you can use for resumes like EzineArticles and EzineArticlesArticles.com. But, if you want to get started with a good resume, one of the best ways to do it is to get LinkedIn at least for a few months and then move on to the next step.When you find a good resume from LinkedIn, make sure to read over it before you apply for a job. You may want to give it another look at it several times before you apply for a job. One thing that will be helpful when you are looking at a resume from LinkedIn is to make sure that it contains the job description you are looking for.When you are looking for a job, make sure to include information about the company and its purpose and culture in the inf ormation you are using in your resume. When you are looking at a resume from LinkedIn, be sure to read the information as well as the company's link and profile. Also, make sure that you are linking yourself to the right page and that the information is fresh and relevant.

You may have one already created, but you may want to look at other ones to see what works and what doesn't. It is important to be able to gauge how well you can sell yourself in a job interview.An even better way to see how you are doing is to make sure that you check your progress on Facebook and Twitter.

This will allow you to see what you can do better and what you need to improve on in your resume.You should also consider going to networking events and job fairs. If you have an idea of what you want to do in the future, there are certain times of the year that you may be able to ask for a job. For example, if you know that you are interested in one particular industry, there are always job fairs for certain types of workers that you can ask for a job.A resume from LinkedIn is a great way to see what you're doing and how you can work yourself up to more specific and eventually more coveted, jobs. It can help you improve your resume quickly and help you decide which opportunities are going to be good for you.

Jim Jefferies Says Hes Rich, But He Wants to Be Comfortable
Jim Jefferies Says Heâs Rich, But He Wants to Be Comfortable Jim Jefferies has finally made it as a marquee comedian, but that doesnât mean life is easy. The Australian stand-up performer and host of Comedy Centralâs late-night program The Jim Jefferies Show has become known for his incisive takes on political and social issues, and managed to gain modest wealth along the way. âI donât think Iâm particularly good with money, but I have made some,â Jefferies, 41, told MONEY from his office in Los Angeles. In his new Netflix special, This Is Me Now, he admits to real financial troubles, including struggling as a stand-up and owing more than $100,000 after breaking his first recording contract. Here, Jefferies shares his first big purchase, why a âholiday homeâ is a waste of money, and the trouble with handing out loans to friends. MONEY: Your new special was filmed in London, where you started your comedy career. What were those early days like? JIM JEFFERIES: It just seemed like the hub for comedy clubs. Iâd do a ton of open-mic spots and eventually started getting paid jobs. I was earning about £20,000 pounds [$25,000] a year for the first five years doing comedy. They were pretty lame years, but it was still my occupation. I havenât had a different job for the last 18 years. Youâve said you were poor then. It was the standard thing, living hand to mouth. If I didnât have a gig, I used to ring up all the comedy clubs across the country and go, âIf anyone drops out, I can be there.â Normally, someone would ring you up the day of. Itâs just perseverance, being scrappy, being a hustler. The first few years, a lot of it was under-the-table work, so that was good. I think I can say that now. You later signed a record deal with a label for £90,000 pounds [$114,000] that required you to produce five specials. It went badly. I broke the contract and started working for other people [including HBO]. They made me pay back the money and then some. But Iâm very happy I did. If I had stayed in that contract, it wouldâve cost me millions of dollars. Everything was wrong with the deal, it was just terrible. I remember then thinking they overpaid me, but five specials wouldâve taken me eight years to do. I had a manager helping me out, but he was fairly new to the game. Itâs a little bit more Wild West-y over there [in the UK]. Whatâd you learn from the experience? Youâve got to gamble on yourself. If you donât, no one else is going to. Itâs very hard when youâre poor to turn down money. When youâve got money, itâs easy. When youâre poor, you need money today. People take advantage of poor people. So do you feel rich now? Iâm very comfortable. Iâm doing well. âRichâ is such an arbitrary, weird term. Am I rich? Yeah, I guess I am. Like I donât give a fâ" how expensive the restaurant, Iâll order whatever I want. Thatâs cool. You like to spend your money on food? What else do you spend money on? Clothes are nice. I go to the fanciest restaurants in the world and try them out. I like to see these chefs that are wizards do their thing. I like two types of food: cheap fast foodâ"In-N-Out Burger, Taco Bell, stuff like thatâ"or expensive food. Anything in between just bothers me. There are worse things to splurge on than meals. I donât understand people who buy holiday homes. Rent the fâ"ing thing. Who wants another house to worry about? All I want money to do is make my life easier. Hereâs how I like to spend money: If I go to a concert, I want to have the best seat in the house. If I go to a theme park, I want to pay to go to the front of the line. I donât want any possessions. I just want to be comfortableâ"like, literally, physically comfortable. I look at things [and think] like, That chair would be nice to sit in. What else have you learned about money? Itâs weird because when youâre poor, friends always need to borrow five bucks. But when youâre rich, they always need to borrow $5,000 to $15,000. They need it. I have learned to say no because I think Iâve been stung a few too many times. Itâs sad. You give money to somebody, and then you think, âWell, thatâs the end of that friendship. Iâll never get it back.â Theyâll feel guilty and never talk to me again. Then I lost $10,000 and a friend. What was your first big purchase when you were making your way up? It was a Spider-Man pinball machine. Iâve still got it. It cost $6,000. I remember thinking, âThis is a crazy purchase.â What would you tell yourself in your early 20s? How do I say this? There are certain substances I wouldâve told myself not to take. [Laughs] There are certain women I wouldâve told myself not to date. I would tell myself to appreciate my downtime a lot more. Now I dream of days off. How busy do you feel at the moment? I donât have a free moment. When Iâm not gigging, Iâm a single parent. Iâm doing the show every week. I donât have a day to myself to run errands. It sounds like Iâm crying about success. Do you still feel the need to hustle? Yeah, but itâs a different thing now. Itâs, How far can I take this? Do I need to go further? Do I need all these different jobs? What am I personally getting out of it? I feel like there has to come a time when I have to let it all go and just sort of show up and be happy with the fact that I did it for a long time, because I would hate for my career to go in the opposite direction. So youâll eventually just walk away? I wonât have a TV show anymore. I wonât be selling as many tickets as I did. You know, just getting old, man. I think one day Iâll just retire rather than fade into oblivion. I havenât set a timeline on itâ"maybe in 10 years. And youâd be able to live off what youâve made? I already can live off the money Iâve got. Whatâs the point of putting yourself in the grave working yourself to death? People in show business tend to keep themselves out there as long as possible. I think maybe you miss [performing]. Joan Rivers always wanted to be working, Don Rickles was working up until the end, Jerry Lewis was doing shows right up until the end. Iâm trying to think of any comics who have retired, and I donât know. Iâd like to think I could find a time where I was content without it. Younger comedians today look up to you. What do you say when they ask how they get to where you are? Try to be as authentic as possible in your own voice. And the big secret to stand-up comedy is in the amount of material you produce. Not even the quality. Every time youâre onstage, do a new bit. It keeps creative juices flowing, and it stops [the jokes] from being bitter. It also keeps the audience coming back to see you. Work hard. Thatâs all it is. Thereâs no actual secret. Itâs obvious what you have to do. Also, donât be a pain in the ass.

A Fork in the Road
A Fork in the Road A Fork in the RoadBefore I begin, I would like to clarify something. Im a junior in college. Im mora than halfway finished with my undergraduate career. I have invested time in student groups, had meaningful work experience, and developed connections within my intended field of work. That being said, it may come as a surprise that I have recently been considering switching majors and pursuing a completely different career path.The other week, I was studying for an organic chemistry exam, and in my exhausted and frustrated state, I googled, Why am I pre-med? (Looking back, this is actually pretty comical). The first result that popped up was a blog post from a student that was in the exact same situation as me a pre-med student who felt no passion in his academic endeavors, who put forth endless and often futile efforts towards studying for exams, and who constantly questioned his desire to be pre-med.This really made me think. What were my motivations in the first place for choosing the pre-med path? Am I doing this for me? When I graduate, will I look back on my time at Northwestern with regret? All of us enter college with one goal in mind to get a degree and find a job. It seems so simple on the surface. We have it cemented in our minds from the moment we enter school as children that life will follow a decidedly linear path through high school, college, work, and retirement. With this frame of thought, its hard to tap into your own personal passions and pursue them in college because the fear of deviating from this path and elend knowing exactly where youre going to end up stops you in your tracks. It scares you into conformity, forcing you to succumb to the pressure placed upon you by friends, family, and society.People are constantly telling me that it gets better, that although I may find no interest in biology or chemistry now, all my efforts will bear fruit later and I will be rewarded handsomely. But rewarded with what? What, truly , is an ample reward for wasting years of your life waiting for something that may never come to fruition? It certainly isnt money. It isnt a big house, or a nice car. Those things disappear. They get old and fade away, just as we do. But regrets stay with us throughout our lives, constantly creeping into our thoughts like a parasite. Being proactive and eliminating the threat of regret before it has a chance to materialize is the only solution. Dont be that person that sits at your desk fifteen years from now and wonders where your life has gone. I know I certainly dont want to succumb to that fate.The purpose of this piece is not to throw a pity party for myself, nor is it to offer solid advice to those of you who are struggling with your life path, because as you can see, I havent exactly figured that out myself. I do, however, want you to know that there are people out there like me, like the student in the blog post I read, who have come to the realization late in their career that their choice of study might not be meant for them, and that it is never too late to drop everything and chase after something new. Remember that life is not pre-constructed. If you feel unhappy or unsatisfied, it is up to you to find the solution to the problem. Stop thinking about the future. For just a moment, think about how your life would be if you pursued something you were passionate about. Dont think about what kinds of jobs you could get, or how much money you could make. Life may not be linear, but it always normalizes. No matter how much you deviate from the path, no matter how many high or low points you may experience, everything will always even out in the end. Remember that.

Heres how to combat the my-boss-is-a-jerk blues
Heres how to combat the my-boss-is-a-jerk bluesHeres how to combat the my-boss-is-a-jerk bluesTwo common mantras in our culture today are I hate my job and My boss is a jerk. While both statements may be true, hating your job because your boss is a jerk isnt going to lead anywhere good.According to Gallup, more than half of the U.S. workforce (or about 70 million employees) either are just enduring their job or actively hate where they work. With that level of dissatisfaction, its no surprise that we hear so many negative comments either in personal conversations, through social media or the hauptrichtung media. In other words, If you dont like your job, welcome to the club.Here are two reasons why concluding My boss is a jerk (or even major jerk) wont help things for you at work.1.Its easy to label others and be vagueWhen we label others with vague pejorative terms which seems to be common in our culture it absolves us of any responsibility to do anything. Shes an idiot and What a _____ fill in the term are similar. Youve called the person a name, but now what? Lets assume your boss acts like a jerk at times. What does that really mean?What has he or she done that you disagree with?Is it the decisions he or she has made?How he or she makes decisions?How he or she communicates with you?How he or she treats others?How decisions are implemented (or leid)?Only when we identify the specific actions or behaviors that irritate, offend or hurt us can we then develop a plan of action to deal with them. If another persons actions affect you negatively (especially repeatedly), then it may be good for you to figure out how youre going to respond. Options may include ignoring them, talking to them or minimizing contact. But leaving it at hes a jerk gives you no plan of action.One of the problems in talking together with others about this without identifying the specific action is that you know where you are coming from, what you have been thinking about and the purpose of the conversation. However, the other person often has no clue. When you start talking, it can take the other person a while to figure out why youre sharing what you have and what you want from him or her in response.2.You can still enjoy your work even if your boss is difficult and has significant weaknessesWhile we know that a persons relationship with his or her direct supervisor is influential, its not the only factor. Your job also entails one or more of the followingthe tasks youre supposed to accomplishcustomerspotential customersco-workersvendors or suppliersother interactions with the community at largeSo focus on these aspects of your work. Do the best at what you do. Learn and grow in your skills. Figure out what your customers need and want and do your best to serve them well. Find positive co-workers and hang out with them. Be positive and energetic in the interactions you have with others. Also, remember that your boss almost certainly has some beneficial skills, str engths, knowledge or character qualities it is unlikely that he or she is a total moron that has evil intent. He or she is probably quite different from you in many ways, but those differences can be beneficial to your organization.Bringing a positive attitude to your job actually helps you enjoy your work more. So, do what you can to see some positives in your current job. If you cant think of anything, compare yourself to those who dont have safe water to drink and whose sole task each day is getting food for themselves and their family.The single best thing that you can do to improve the likelihood of having a great work day is to have a daily attitude of gratitude. Research has repeatedly shown that people who have a positive, grateful attitude for their work actually enjoy their work more. Yes, your boss may be a jerk. But you can only make your daily experience at work better if you get past that vague conclusion and begin to focus on what you can do in the situation. (And re member he or she may be saying the saatkorn thing about you.)Thisarticlefirst appeared onAppreciate at Work.
