Pocket Resume: Fill & Download for Free

They stopped for ten years, then resumed.It was caused by Congress passing the “deep pocket” law. This law said that if it can be shown that you are 2% responsible, you can be sued for 100% of the damages and penalties. This meant that Cessna would be picking up the bill for just about every airplane crash no matter what the real cause. Trial lawyers love that law.Cessna looked at that and said: “hell no”. They stopped making light airplanes in the mid-’80s. It wasn’t until Congress passed the General Aviation Revitalization Act that they decided to resume light aircraft production in 1996.https://digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1843&context=sulr

This happened in Bangalore. I was jobless and came to Bangalore in search of a job. I used to take Rs. 100 everyday and go for interviews, as I could get the daily bus pass for Rs.70. One particular day, I reached the company for the job interview and realized that I don't have my resume with me. I went out in search of a xerox shop so that I can print my resume which was in my mail. I had 20 rupees in my pocket and without asking for the xerox copy charge, I asked the shopkeeper to print 2 copies of my resume assuming that it would be 2 or 3 rs per sheet. After collecting my resume, I asked for the charge. He asked for Rs. 30. I was numb for a moment. I didn't know how to react. I start searching my bag for coins. I could find a 5 rupee coin, but I was still Rs. 5 short. An elderly person asking for directions at the same shop noticing all this and that I'm panicking, called me. He gave me a Rs.10 note and said "Things like these happen. Happened to us also .We too were your age once. Don't panic, go and attend the interview with a smiling face."After a long time, tears started falling down from my eyes. I thanked him. I cleared the interview and went to the xerox shop and asked about the aged person. Unfortunately he didn't know him. I smiled and left the place.The job pays me 3 lakhs per annum, but those 10 rupees made me attend the interview. I still thank and remember him.

The #1 source of jobs is ‘networking’ which simply means telling EVERYONE you know or meet what you are looking for. In your case that will include all your former classmates from all years (who knows what great companies they’re working for now) and all your profs, lab instructors, etc., etc., as well as family, friends, etc. You need to distill your request into a short sentence they are likely to remember. It could be as short as just the name of one job/job title “World class Human Resource manager.” (Don’t use an acronym here, as many won’t know it.) What’s memorable - well you’ll know when you think of it. One guy I chatted with at a presentation I was doing on job search happened to mention he’d researched sexual behavior. If he could work that into what he was looking for, that was memorable. Who wouldn’t be intrigued into talking to someone with that background.Weak connections actually work better than strong ones in this type of networking according to research - more is definitely more important that closeness. One woman switching careers I know found a key person in the field she wanted by talking to her dry cleaner while she waited for one-hour laundry - his sister linked her to several in that field (happened to be high end charity fund-raising, not dry cleaning) and she got one exactly what she wanted.This means tackling the toughest job search challenge - narrowing your ‘ask’ to just one job. People may well offer ‘near jobs,’ sometimes even totally unrelated ones, but if you say ‘I can do anything’ or name several things, you just confuse people. All you want is for them to remember they ‘met someone like that’ when their cousin, co-worker, boss, whoever mentions they are looking for someone to fill whatever… and then be able to find your info. So get a card (usually you can find places that offer 500 free) with your name, what you’re looking for phone, email and LinkedIn link (where you have posted your info, carefully edited to provide a focus on what you say you’re looking for and the same sort of info you’d have on a resume. Your card then becomes a pocket resume basically.When you thank people or send a follow up resume by email, DON’T use the subject line “My resume” as thousands of others do. Then the person files it somewhere and when they go to the file the see a list of people they hardly know and subjects: My Resume. If yours says: “Resume for [job name]” they don’t have to open 20 emails to find the one person who sent an email with a resume related to the job their pal is looking to fill. I sometimes give up when faced with several dozen My Resume emails to try to look through.
