Clean it Up

By
Hi everyone, it's me Portia. Well what I have learned in my class is amazing about the internet. I know you guys already know but to me it was new. So the professor talk about clean it up and I did not know what she was talking about until she when on google and google everyone in the class which was amazing to me. I saw myself and others but what you put on your facebook could come back and bite you especially if you are looking for employment. So she give us a little booklet that says clean it up, build it up of , keep it up. It said 79%  of hiring managers/job recuiters review online applicants before a hiring decision..., isn't that something. Well if you have your business out there and it not to clean you better clean it up. Remember that we are in college to better and educate our self so all the dirty stuff got to stop. It also said Rules Of Engagement:Clean it up and then Lock it up, get clean and stay clean. Now you can build it up, get linkedin or get locked out, put your best face forward, tweet this, not that and so forth. Also the professor when on everyone facebook and we saw ourselves and our address also some stuff only our friends supposed to see but potential employers could also see it. Sometimes our thoughts should remain just that, our thoughts. Its has comments that says it's written all over your face, got it, facebook. Also put your best face forward. I seen some of my friends has all and I mean all their business on facebook. I wonder what they did before facebook, I guess they stayed longer on the phone.So to my future grads please be careful what you put on blast because you never know who will be searching the WORLD WIDE WEB.

Thank you. Portia

DEI & The Workplace

By
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), is a broad term that covers the issues of equality in the United States. It existed throughout the years, trying to advocate for equality amongst individuals regardless of their race, sex, or religion. Thi helps foster respect and equality in every sector of the society, ensuring that as long as a person is a citizen of the United States, they are allowed to receive the same benefits as others. In the workplace, DEI is very essential as it ensures that people are hired based on the fact that they meet the qualifications of the position they applied for, and not discriminated against by not qualifying them for unknown reasons even if they reach all other qualifications. Below are a few important reasons for DEI in the workplace:  1.

Resume Mistakes That Are Stopping You From Getting an Interview

By
Landing a job interview can feel tough, but sometimes the problem isn’t your experience it’s your resume. Your resume is your first impression, and even small mistakes can make employers move on to the next candidate. Many people don’t realize that hiring managers look at a resume for less than 10 seconds, so anything unclear, unprofessional, or poorly written can hurt your chances immediately. On top of that, most companies now use software to scan resumes before a human even sees them. This means if your resume doesn’t have the right keywords, format, or structure, it might be rejected automatically even if you’re fully qualified.

A strong resume should clearly show your skills, highlight your achievements, and make it easy for employers to understand why you’re a great fit. But many people accidentally include too much information, use outdated styles, or forget to tailor ...
