Resume'101

When was the last time you updated your resume'? Does it still look like the one you created when you graduated from high school or college? Have you acquired any new skills that need to be added? If you have served in the armed forces have you included that experience? These are questions you need to ask yourself.

The purpose of your resume' is to sell yourself on paper and to out shine the hundreds or thousands of other applicants applying for the same position. This seems easy enough, yet many do not take the steps necessary to be successful.

Your resume' does not get you the job or opportunity, you do that, but your resume' allows the potential employer to consider you worth their time over other applicants based on what they see on paper.

If you are looking to transition into a better paying job, a new or more challenging position,moving to another state, or completing military service and want to begin civilian employment you have a better chance if you can express all you have done ideally in one to two pages that highlights you as the perfect candidate the employer is looking for.

Let us here at DSWoodard Consulting assist you in putting your best foot forward on paper so that you shine and are the one called for that interview or business opportunity.

Good luck & much success

How to Press Through the Toughest Season

Welcome 2019 winter season. This image is what we must endure for the next part of our journey.  To be successful we can not have fear. We must learn some new things and use new strategies. We must start to keep track of where we are daily. This is a great task. I keep track of what happens in my life most days. The challenge is as you are living your life it's easy to get distracted.  I started 2019 on day one making note of daily financials incoming and outgoing, and goals and things that I had done or accomplished. It was only a few days in that I noticed that I missed a day here and then I missed a day there on keeping track. This month I'm promoting my   journal that has 366 quotes  and space for you to journal your thoughts and ideas. It will help. The link is alive, but you can get it at  DSWoodard365amazon . Focusing daily on what we are actually accomplishing and those things that are getting left undone will help us grow. Watch this...

Be Happy Today Because You Can

Good afternoon,  The joy felt today is enormous. I love how things keep appearing to show you where you are in the universe or how aligned you are with your goals, ideas, or purpose. Learning to read between the lines is such a gift. I read very well, and I speak many languages. Happy is my all- time favorite song. I love Pharrell's Curtis Mayfield smooth sounding voice and his infectious simplistic drum beat and top that off with the fun joy-filled music video and this is me and the way I feel about life.  I love this song and the video is perfect. Thank you, Pharrell.  I said this because this is the way to get to what it is that is wanted in your life. You must feel this way genuinely. It takes time and it takes practice. Life gives us exactly what we are, not what we want.  "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." Marcus Aurelius It's mid- month of the beginning of the second quarter for 2019, how's your game pla...

Count down to 2015

Good morning. We had a wonderful vacation in the Poconos Mountains over the Thanksgiving week spending time with family out on the slopes.  We trust that everyone is well and not allowing the holiday season to stress you out too much.  We say that because we tend to wait until the last minute and purchase gifts.  The holiday comes every year at the same time and on the same day, yet the meaning of it is lost and does not make us want to run out and spend thousands of dollars on things that people often don't want or need.  Good luck for all of you.   This post is about focus.  Big surprise, we want you to maintain the same focus that you have had since January 2014 began.   It takes major discipline to do this at this time of the year.  It is necessary because it is easy to stop doing the things that made you successful and prosperous up to this point.   It is also easy to get lazy when it is holiday season and most people focus on...
