How to Strip Your Resume of Kitsch

  By Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter In Jessica Ann Media’s recent article, “How to Avoid Kitsch in Your Content,” one of the ways she defined the word,” kitsch,” was “content that lacks context.” She also continued by describing how “content (can become) clutter,” an untidy mess if not curated properly.

Your Resume: Be the Red Balloon in a Field of Yellow Ones

By Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter It seems so simple, doesn’t it? After all, who better knows where you’ve been and what you’ve done than you? Open up your Word file and dump all that information into a pleasing format, forward it to a prospective employer or two, then sit back and wait for the phone to ring. Before you hit “send” […]

Is Your Resume a 3-Ring Circus?

  By Robert P. Poindexter As many of you are (based on the ratings), I find myself especially attracted to these various talent contest type programs. I wish I could say it is only because I truly care about someone whom I’ve never met making it into the “Big Time.”  I’m afraid my feelings are […]

Words Breathe Life

By Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter In a recent, Glassdoor.com blog post, I spoke to the need to differentiate yourself in job search via a nuance-rich career story that will elicit emotion and interest. Interestingly, a commenter honed in on a particular phrase (i.e., ‘weaving in word ribbons of career wonderment’) and dressed-down my post asserting that a […]

Paint ‘Confident’ Word Stories in Your Flexible-Job Resume

By Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter Whether designing your career resume focused on a more conventional, 9-to-5 job or aspiring to a flexible work path, the essence of your message must be the same: Sell Your Value.

Resume Writer: Making It Look Easy

By Robert P. Poindexter I had seen portions of sailboat races on television growing up, and if you’re a kid growing up in the deserts of the West Texas oil fields, television is as close as you’re likely to get. Like most people who don’t have an intimate knowledge of what it takes to properly motivate […]

What Do You Mean?

By Rob Poindexter “A ship is more then sails, a keel, a hull and a mast. Those things are what a ship is. But what a ship means is freedom,” to loosely quote Capt. Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean fame. I’ve watched this movie somewhere around 150 times, and while it is pure fantasy, […]

Alright, so ‘career experts’ are continually repackaging and reframing the rules of resume writing and job search. For fun, let’s call this R-squared. My resume writing business focuses heavily on serving the senior manager and executive client.

They Shoot Muffins, Don’t They?

A few months ago, I stood looking at myself in the full length mirror in my dressing room as I struggled to fit 45 years of bad eating habits and a total disregard for exercise into the waist of my dress slacks. I knew it was happening; I just enjoyed the status quo to the […]
