Words men use on resumes versus women shockingly different

Words men use on resumes versus women shockingly differentWords men use on resumes versus women shockingly differentThough womens voices are now lower than they were 50 years ago, in order to sound mora powerful and dominating, when it comes to what words they use, women and mens language choices still vastly differ and not in a good way. Research by the University College London and recruiting platform Oleeo found that the words women use on a resume may be hurting their chances of landing the job.The study analyzed over 200,000 resumes from around the world in four key job sectors - financial services, IT, management consulting and retail - looking at the lexical, syntactic and semantic differences in the text that distinguish male and female resumes from each other.The results found that 90% of the Top 10 words men used in male resumes are powerful proper nouns and nouns. Interestingly only 68% of the Top 10 terms on female resumes use the same.How the Top 10 resume words differ between men and womenFinancial ServicesMaleequity, portfolio, investment, capital, analyst, finance, market, stock, interests, technicalFemaleorganize, event, volunteer, assistant, social, student, marketing, community, department, planInformation TechnologyMalephp, c, software, Linux, c++, computer, have, developer, engineer, networkFemalevolunteer, event, assistant, organize, analyze, plan, student, social, conduct, excelManagement ConsultingMaleengineering, sport, investment, finance, analyst, club, cost, financial, technology, technicalFemalevolunteer, assistant, event, social, organize, write, community, student, communication, researchRetail and BuyingMalefootball, play, sport, business, club, technology, computer, mobile, IT, leadershipFemaleart, child, volunteer, shop, assistant, assist, social, design, organize, createNow we could have a wholemen are from Mars women are from Venus conversation but the fact that more men work football into their resumes is pretty interestin g (because most of them probably did not play professionally and if they played in high school, it shouldnt be on there.)Women and men do speak differently in their everyday vernacular (women also speak about 13,000 words more than men on average per day.) And on their resumes, women also tend to use more team player language whichTalentWorkssays is something you DONT want to include. They analyzed more than 4,000 job applicants and job applications and found that using words like collaborated and assist need to be left off the resume.

Towns like Va. Beach, that are part of large metro areas tend to offer more career opportunity. You dont have to retire or rely on just tourism-related jobs. Also, those towns are still active off-season. If its a 2nd home or the goal is to retire that may not be as important.Whether you live in a beach town all year or not, we could all benefit from catching some waves and sun this summer.

The ASME Auxiliary Shares Highlights of its History as it Prep...

The ASME Auxiliary Shares Highlights of its History as it Prep... The ASME Auxiliary Shares Highlights of its History as it Prep... The ASME Auxiliary Shares Highlights of its History as it Prepares for 95th AnniversaryDec. 8, 2017 Although it has existed for nearly a century, the ASME Auxiliary is still unfamiliar to many members of ASME. As the Auxiliary prepares for its 95th anniversary in 2018, the members of the group would like to take this opportunity to acquaint the readers of ASME News with the origins of the Auxiliary and some key moments in its early history.The Auxiliary originated in 1906 as the Ladies Committee, which organized activities for the spouses of ASME members who accompanied their husbands to ASMEs various national meetings. The group continued with that name for nearly 20 years, with new committee members being appointed each year.At a meeting in May 1923, the committee, supported by ASME Secretary Dr. Calvin W. Rice, became an official not-for-profit organ ization and renamed itself the Womens Auxiliary to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The meetings chair, Mrs. George L. Fowler, welches elected as the first president of the Auxiliary. The newly renamed group, which introduced a $1 initiation fee and a dues rate of $1 per year, set several objectives for its members, including providing scholarships for engineering students and conducting other activities consistent with the goals of ASME.During Mrs. Fowlers presidency, the Auxiliary busied itself with collecting and distributing technical literature to engineering colleges in Europe and the United States. By 1928, the Auxiliary members had redirected their efforts to concentrate on building an educational fund and establishing a scholarship program. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the Auxiliary also raised money and provided food baskets for struggling families.You can read more about the Auxiliarys comprehensive scholarship program next month in ASME News. In the meantime, you can learn more about the Auxiliary by visiting the groups community page on ASME.org and downloading the latest issue of its newsletter, The Pipeline.-Vatsala Menon, ASME Auxiliary Member
