First of course, let's start with some humor and having a math background, this seemed appropriate:
A humorous play of numbers. Who thinks of this stuff?
Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A -R -D-W-O -R -K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K -N -O -W-L -E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5
= 96%
But ,
A-T -T -I -T -U -D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B -U -L -L -S -H-I -T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S -S -K -I -S-S -I -N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7
= 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, andAttitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Interview Follow-up
Interview Follow Up
By The 6FigureJobs Editors
You finished the interview, there’s clearly a fit, so what’s the first thing you should do when you get home? Sit down and write a thank-you note to each person that you interviewed with, of course. This may seem obvious and 96% of those polled by 6FigureJobs indicated that they already know to do so. But what is the etiquette for the best methods of follow up? That can easily be debated.
Email and handwritten thank you’s are the two most popular forms of follow up and both are acceptable. Of those polled in the 6FigureJobs survey 60% prefer email and 35% prefer to mail hand written thank you’s. Of those surveyed 1% go as far as to send flowers or chocolates, which can be a good idea when interviewing for a high profile position such as C-level or Vice President. No matter what you choose this should be done no more than two days following the interview.
The salutation should be formal - “Dear Ms. Joan Johnson” – unless, during the interview, she said “call me Joan”, then the salutation can be friendlier - “Dear Joan”. Let the formality of the interview indicate how you should address the salutation. The closing is your choice: “sincerely”, “best regards”, or “respectfully yours” are all acceptable.
In your thank you note, show appreciation for the employer's interest in you and remind them of why you are the perfect person for the position. Briefly site specific examples of how your accomplishments match to the position, or company, goals. Add a personal touch whenever possible. For example if you notice that the interviewer has an interest in sailboats, write your thank-you note on a note card with a sailboat picture on it, or reference something you discussed with the interviewer.
The phone call thank you is less preferred but is also acceptable. Of those polled 1% say they prefer this method, but has some challenges. For example, if you reach the person’s voicemail (and that’s likely), you leave yourself with the concern that they may not get the voicemail, accidently delete it, or overlook it when they have a large pool of candidates. If you do leave a voicemail always be professional, courteous and enthusiastic about the position, and continue to build rapport and sell your strengths – briefly – during the message. If you are in one of the more aggressive professions such as sales, you are almost expected to prove your aggressiveness by calling back every two to three days, unless told to wait. But you don’t have to call each time, you can send an e-mail and that may help you cut through their voicemail clutter.
After you get your thank you note out, follow up as indicated in the interview. You should have asked the question of how and when to follow up at the interview. But if you didn’t ask, or when or how to follow up was not made clear, do so with a phone call within a week to ten days, or sooner if the employer is looking to make an immediate hire. If you find during your follow up that you have not been chosen for the position, keep a positive attitude and use this opportunity to bring the interviewer into your network, possibly even asking them for referrals to other contacts.
Always consider the thank you and follow up just as important as any other aspect of your job search strategy and put just as much thought and effort to it as you would your resume. Share your tips or success stories on the 6FigureJobs Blog.

Does Your Resume Do This?

Does Your Resume Do This?
By Michael Collins
Executive Career Expert / Recruitment Strategist
Employers in this market are inundated with more resumes than ever before. In most industries, there is now a much greater pool of qualified applicants looking for jobs. The competition is fierce. And while you can’t control market conditions, there is one factor you can control – the effectiveness of your career message.
Most executives are not aware how they present themselves on paper. The common reasoning is that a resume is not that important, and an interview is what determines whether or not they get hired. This is partially true – interviews seal the deal. But if the resume is not compelling enough, few interviews happen in the first place.
How do you improve your message and increase your marketability? The answer lies in your executive resume, and whether or not it positions you as the type of candidate employers are looking for. If you are presenting your unique career using a template format and overused lingo, the uniqueness of what you have to offer becomes largely unnoticed. This is why so many experienced, qualified and capable executives get rejected, while those with less to offer but with a more influential presentation get the prize.
What do employers really want to see on your resume? Not what you might expect. Sure, your responsibilities and accomplishments are important. But they are only a part of your message. If you compare resumes of executives applying for similar opportunities, you’ll quickly see that the list of responsibilities and achievements is similar. Of course there are some variations, but the overall theme is virtually identical. After all, executives working within the same industry have many common characteristics when it comes to their job functions.
As you are embarking on your job search, remember that the objective of your resume is NOT just to present your past experience. It IS to convince employers that you have something ‘extra’, something ‘uncommon’ and frankly, something ‘exclusive’. In other words, make sure that your resume gives you a distinctive appeal.
So here it is. To be effective, your resume needs to persuasively answer THIS important question - From all the available choices employers have, what makes you more desirable and valuable than other qualified candidates?
The way to achieve this is to move beyond typical resume descriptions and conventional formats. From the start of your resume, purposefully spotlight what you can do to help prospective employers achieve success. Don’t mistake this with a contrived ‘career summary’. Strategically convey to employers what is important to THEM, not only to you or to previous employers. Bring out specific potential benefits of having you as part of their organization.
In summary, before you apply for any job, make sure that your resume reads like a proposal and has an outline of pragmatic results you expect to deliver. While others compete with commonplace resumes that get ignored or rejected, your message can stand above the rest. If you DON’T want to waste time and opportunities, give employers a stronger incentive to see you as the type of candidate they want to hire.
