(NewsUSA) – For most job seekers, the

goal is to find the best job as quickly as

possible, but it can be difficult to

implement this plan everyday.

To make the most of valuable time, below

are recommendations on expediting the

process so job seekers can stop searching

and start working:

Make a plan

Take some time to think about all the

ways that you could get hired, and

brainstorm all the different avenues of

finding a job. Include a list of potential

target companies to research, social media

sites to use, recruiters to contact, people

who may know someone who is hiring,

online job boards, job fairs and networking

and industry events.

Prioritize job search methods

Evaluate which job search methods are

most important by thinking about what is

more likely to lead you to the right job. For

example, the greatest number of prospects

who might actually be able to hire you will

likely be at an industry event rather than at

a jobseekers’ networking event.

Apply to the right positions

Honestly assess your skills to determine

the best job postings to apply to. Jeffrey

Greenberg, director of career services at

DeVry University in Philadelphia,

recommends focusing on the job postings

where you have the right skills. “Fight the

urge to apply to any and every job posting

you find. Instead, target those that best

align with your qualifications, and focus

on creating a good balance of quantity and

quality of your applications,” said

Greenberg.

Focus on connecting with people

Focus on networking with people who are

in your industry, and reach out to contacts

at sensible times. Make calls first thing in

Manageyour timeduringyour jobsearchWe’ve all heard that

“finding a job is a full-time

job,” but what is the most

effective way to manage

that time?

WASHINGTON (MCT) – American

manufacturing activity expanded in February

at the fastest pace since 2004, though

manufacturers have grown more concerned

about rising inflation, according to a closely

followed index released Mar. 1.

The Institute for Supply Management said

its manufacturing gauge rose to 61.4 percent

in February from 60.8 percent in the prior

month. Any reading over 50 indicates that

more manufacturers are expanding instead of

shrinking.

The manufacturing sector has now grown 19

straight months, outshining most other U.S.

industries during that time. In 2010, the

sector even gained jobs for the first time since

1997.

Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had

forecast the index to edge up to 61 percent.

In a generally upbeat ISM report, however,

companies flashed a warning sign about the

cost of raw materials and inflation. The ISM’s

prices index jumped to its highest level in

more than two years. And some 66 percent of

respondents said they paid more for raw

materials; only 2 percent said they paid less.

“We continue to see significant inflation

across nearly every type of chemical raw

materials we purchase,” one chemical maker

told ISM.

Norbert Ore, who heads the ISM survey

committee, said the price index “indicates

significant inflation of raw materials costs

across many commodities.”

The institute asks about 350 purchasing

managers if their business got better or worse

this past month. These senior executives are

involved in all sorts of decisions, including

hiring, the purchase of raw materials, the

delivery of supplies, and the management of

inventories.

Fourteen of 18 industries tracked by Tempe,

Ariz.-based ISM expanded in February,

spearheaded by apparel, oil and coal, and

transportation.

The index for new orders, which is a strong

indicator of future sales, rose to 68 percent

from 67.8 percent. That was the highest level

since 2004.

Production also increased, up to 66.3 percent

from 63.5 percent the prior month.

The inventories index, meanwhile, fell to

48.8 percent from 52.4 percent, which is

usually a sign of improved sales. Companies

tend to draw down inventory in a recovery

when demand for their products is higher

than they expect.

What’s more, the backlog of orders rose to

59 percent from 58.0 percent. Backlogs tend

to rise as demand increases.

The employment index, meanwhile, jumped

to 64.5 percent from 61.7 percent in January

– the highest reading since 1973. The

employment index has only topped 60.0

percent three times in the past decade.

Once you’ve chosen a style

(formal, informal,

professional, elegant, etc.)

you’ll need to make sure you

have dates for all the

positions you’ve held that you

intend to include. A good

rule of thumb to follow is to

list the last ten years of

employment unless you have

had more than five positions

in those ten years. If you

have had five positions in the

last five or six years then list

only those, but be prepared

to answer questions from

your interviewer on why you

have “job hopped” so much.

The interviewer may not use

that term exactly, but that is

what they are thinking, so

have a good answer ready.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

(ARA) - It’s no

secret: Americans

love coffee. Every

day it seems a new

coffee shop opens

around the corner,

and it’s nearly

impossible to walk

a block without

passing someone

with a cup in hand.

Despite the rising

cost of specialty

coffee, Americans

continue reaching

for that cherished

cup of joe.

Coffee drinking at work

The positive effects of coffee drinking are

felt by hardworking Americans across the

nation leading to increased workplace

productivity and happiness.

According to a 2011 survey on American

office workers and their coffee habits

conducted by Alterra Coffee Roasters:

• 65 percent of workers drink coffee while

at work.

• The average worker consumes three cups

of coffee per day.

• 38 percent of workers say they wouldn't

make it through a typical workday without

coffee.

• 30 percent drink coffee in the workplace

because it helps them focus and increase

productivity.

Coffee culture

Coffee not only benefits employees, but

also office culture. The coffee pot has

displaced the water cooler as the primary

location to interact with co-workers,

according to the survey. Two in five office

coffee drinkers say they have had

interesting or helpful talks with colleagues

or bosses while near the coffee maker.

While this pastime increases bonding,

survey results suggest traditional coffee

pots can also cause resentment and

irritation amongst co-workers. One in four

workers say there is someone at the office

who never prepares fresh coffee when

needed, while 21 percent said they dislike

dealing with people who make a mess

when handling the office brew.

To help eliminate such feelings of

frustration, many employers opt for one-

cup coffee systems that brew from fresh-

sealed, single-use packs like the Flavia

Fresh Release System. This new workplace

trend allows employees to become their

own barista by creating a number of

customizable specialty drinks -- including

coffee, espresso, latte, cappuccino, tea and

more -- without leaving the office.

Investing in coffee?

As coffee drinking grows in popularity, it

is also rising in cost. Specialty-coffee sales

are increasing 20 percent per year with the

average cost of an espresso-based drink

now at $2.45, according to the 2011

Coffee Business Statistics Report. The

report also showed 18 percent of American

coffee drinkers consume at least one

gourmet coffee beverage per day, a

significant expense.

In fact, more than three in five Alterra-

survey respondents say they routinely buy

coffee outside of the office, spending an

average of $14 per week. Many say they've

abandoned the office in search of a good

cup because they didn't enjoy drinking the

coffee provided at work, and 16 percent of

these workers admit doing so caused them

to miss important calls or meetings at the

office.

Investing in fresh, good-tasting coffee at

the office obviously pays off for employers

in the long run - saving employees cash

while keeping them closer to tasks at hand.

This small investment produces large

returns, boosting employee productivity

and satisfaction.

Fun coffee stats:

• What if you could have a celebrity

barista come to your office? Nearly one in

five office workers voted to have America's

sweetheart, Sandra Bullock, play barista in

their office. There was a three-way tie for

second place, with Angelina Jolie, Jennifer

Aniston and George Clooney all ranking

as highly desired office coffee servers.

• More than seven in 10 office workers

who drink coffee down the most cups of

joe on Monday.

• More than one in five office workers

admit the quality of their work would

suffer if they didn't have coffee.

• Contestants on the new season of

“Celebrity Apprentice” better keep a stash

of coffee in their briefcases. Celebrity

bosses like Donald Trump, Mr. Burns from

“The Simpsons” and Sue Sylvester from

“Glee” are all perceived by Americans to be

especially grumpy without their daily cup

of coffee.

• More women than men admit they

wouldn’t be able to go 24 hours without

coffee.

(ARA) – The new year has arrived, and it’s

time to get to work. You may be back in

the office or pounding the pavement

looking for a new job. Either way, it’s time

to polish your resume so it appeals to

employers, because what may have worked

for you in the past might not be relevant

today.

“Your resume is a living document,” says

Heather VanRiper, assistant director of

career services at The Illinois Institute of

Art - Chicago. She points out that workers

are always learning new skills on the job, at

professional development conferences and

seminars. Many of those skills can and

should be a part of your updated resume.

But if you’re not currently looking, why

take the time to spruce up an old resume?

“Who knows when the next opportunity

will open up?” asks VanRiper. “You could

be at a networking event, a dinner party or

even on a train commuting home when

you bump into an opportunity that you just

can't pass up. Having your resume ready to

go makes you look more polished and

professional.”

VanRiper suggests you take a good look at

your experience to see if you need to add

any new job responsibilities or reflect

recent promotions. Have you joined any

new professional organizations or been

elected to a board? Polish up the skills

section of your resume with any new

software applications you've learned. And

don't forget to add any foreign languages

you know.

Since the digital age is here, your resume

should keep up. “Add a link to your work in

your resume. From an employer’s point of

view, if they can read all about you and also

click on a link and see your work, you

become visual,” VanRiper says. “Your

potential employer can now see your

capabilities.” Just make sure the materials

you are directing employers to, are

updated.

A short employment history does not

mean you’re short on skills. Don’t discredit

any experience that you’ve had, says

VanRiper. She adds, “There’s a lot of value

in transferable skills like problem solving,

customer service and attention to detail. If

you can demonstrate those skills in your

resume, you show that you're an asset to

any workplace.”

Once you’re done with the updates,

VanRiper has one final piece of advice.

“Proofread. Proofread. Proofread. Errors

are inexcusable and will cost you the job.”

Take the time to update yourresume for the new year

How Important is itthat we Love our Jobs?

Work/life balance expert Jim Bird (www.worklifebalance.com) sayswe hear all the time how important it is to have jobs we love. Yet mostpeople he knows don’t love their work. They either accept it ortolerate it. And that’s okay, Bird says. He points out that while it’snot necessary to be passionate about your job, you should bepassionate about how well you do the job. Why? Because that’swhat you do for yourself.

Lacking passion for your job doesn’t necessarily mean you’re livingyour life less well than the individual who is passionate about work.Your passion may surface in regard to other areas of your life. Birdoffers these suggestions for generating more ardor for living:

• Write the essay or book that’s been in the back of your mind.• Take a class in a subject that engrosses you.• Teach a class in the subject that engrosses you.• Cook dinners that will make your friends swoon.• Go to your favorite sporting events.• Let the people you’re closest to know how much you adore them.

The key is to set aside time for doing whatever it is you love todo. The first step is deciding you’re going to do it. The importantsecond step, Bird says, is to go for it.
