Making-Money-Month Is Now!

Standing out at a Job Faire can make a difference in your career search. Job Faires are starting to pick up, and a major job search company is running some nice ones, called Targeted Job Fairs. At a SF Bay Area Job Faire in early 2010, 10 companies as showing up, and Dice has 82 job fairs scheduled for this year across the US.

How do you compete at a Job Fair? The competition can be considerable, but you can help yourself stand out from the bunch with advance homework. At AA-Careers, we have a straight-forward six-step process to prepare. Planning to go? Here’s how to prepare:

First, research the organizations that are going and pick your targets. Use the World Wide Web to check out the organizations that are there before you go. Go to their internet sites and see if they have their jobs listed. Pick a tenable number to go after, and get ready to spend about an hour researching each one. It’s hard to do more than seven in a day, and four to six is a much more reasonable target. For each hiring company, you want to know: recent news, key product lines, and contacts you know. Try to see if you know anyone at the target companies. You’ll end up with a page or two of research for each company/job.

Second, if there are job postings on the web, read them to see what the company is looking for. Create a mapping of your accomplishments and skills to the prerequisites of the job. Make the nomenclature match. If the hiring company calls customers "clients", your resume should do the same thing. The achievements should be written in the style of the hiring organization.

Third, create a ‘thumbnail sales pitch’ for each likely organization/job combination. Write down a 90 second ‘thumbnail’ that you can repeat out loud describing why you are a fantastic prospect for that position. You’ll use this in your resume and when you meet the team from the company at the job stall.

Fourth, modify your resume for each position. The objective on your resume should exactly match the position you’re want. The executive summary should be a written form of your “mini sales pitch” for the job. Then choose the achievements and skills that most clearly match the job requirements. Especially at a Job Faire, the purpose of your resume is a sales tool for you – to get you on-site job interviews. It should be obvious to see that you’re a match based on your resume.

Fifth, rehearse your ‘mini-sales-pitch’. Collect your research and the resume for each position - bring a couple of copies for each – and put each in a clearly labeled folder. Keep them in a light briefcase or folio.

Finally, dress and prepare as if you’re doing on-site interviews. Dress well and be well groomed. Avoid strong cologne or perfume…use any eau de cologne or scent sparingly, if at all.

Remember to smile, and good hunting!

Pepper is an ingredient used in preparations of many dishes. It is also acts as preservative and serves good for medicinal values. Pepper mills are used to get freshly ground pepper. Fresh pepper is good for health and is tasty as well. This has made pepper an important ingredient and a pepper mill as a must-have appliance.

Pepper grinders can be operated manually. There are some that can be operated by battery. Both of them almost have similar setup. Pepper mills are widely used for converting pepper corns into powder form. The idea of a pepper grinder basically came from coffee grinders. The size got reduced in case of pepper shaker, because they were supposed to be placed on the table top.

If you have heard about Peugeot pepper mill then you must be aware that it has been around since 1800’s and has always given high quality products.

Some also offer it in stainless steel and some offer combination of pepper mill and salt shaker set.
