Necessary vs. Unnecessary Meetings - Spark Hire

Essential versus Pointless Meetings - Spark Hire Try not to sit around idly. Amplify productivity. That is an aspect of your responsibilities portrayal so you need to ensure you're not doing anything counter-profitable. While there are clear things you ought to maintain a strategic distance from (like filling the working environment with fun balls to light up individuals' day), there are additionally times when the things that appear as though they're canning lead to a superfluous exercise in futility. Everybody cherishes utilizing gatherings as an approach to arrive at all workers without a moment's delay. In any case, you need to ensure you arent going mix insane with them.

My Novel The Billionaires Lawyer

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers My Novel: The Billionaire’s Lawyer Four years ago this week I posted a blog titled:  If I write a novel about a law firm…I need your ideas. As you will see, on that day I was starting a novel writing class. In January of 2014, I began writing a novel. Four years and nine drafts later, I have finally published it. The title is The Billionaire’s Lawyer. It is available here in both softcover and e-book versions. You can also find it on Amazon. I understand the Kindle version will be available on Amazon in a few weeks. Why did it take four years to write and why did it take 10 versions until I was willing to publish it? There are two reasons. First, I was never satisfied with my work. I always thought, and still believe, I could make it better. Second, I’ve been able to incorporate events that have taken place over the last four years. Several times, I have thought, What’s happening in real life is far stranger than anything I could possibly make up. When I began writing, I hadn’t considered that the government might have hacked into a news reporter’s computer, corporations and political groups might use social media in ways no one ever thought of to sway opinion, and I had never heard of the term “fake news.” My original protagonist was the great-granddaughter of a Galveston Mafia boss. Why did that character interest me? I didn’t know the Galveston history of the Free Galveston era, and was fascinated when I studyied it. You can check it out here. (My second novel will likely be about this character.) Gabriela Sanchez is the protagonist of The Billionaire’s Lawyer. She grew up in the Rio Grande Valley and moved to Dallas to prove to herself, and perhaps her father, that she could make it on the big stage. Why did I want the protagonist to be a Hispanic woman from the Rio Grande Valley? There are many reasons: First, I wanted to write about someone different than me. I decided the protagonist should be a woman because, having coached and mentored hundreds of young women lawyers, I know women face different challenges while striving to be successful. Why did I want my character to be a Hispanic woman? While doing research I discovered that Hispanic women make up around 7% of the US population, but less than 1/2 of 1 percent of the partners in law firms. I also recognized in my research that because of movies and television shows, Hispanic women have been unfairly stereotyped. I’m sure you know this, but if you are interested here is a Latina Magazine article: 10 Latino Stereotypes We’ve Heard All Our Lives That Are Completely False. Why did I decide my character had grown up in the Rio Grande Valley? There were many reasons. Our daughter taught school there. Our son-in-law grew up there. Sadly, the Rio Grande Valley is one of the poorest and most corrupt regions in the country. See:  Rio Grande Valley Tops List of “America’s Poorest Cities” and  Corruption On The Border: Dismantling Misconduct In The Rio Grande Valley. More important than all of those reasons, I mentored a young lawyer who grew up in the Rio Grande Valley. I learned a great deal from her. She told me her mom was a teacher and her dad was a principal. She went to both college and law school on scholarships. At Notre Dame Law School she was the only Hispanic student and other students believed she was there only because of “affirmative action.” She later proved them wrong when she outperformed most of them. She once told me that many times she wondered if she measured up and sometimes believed someone would figure out she was not as smart or not as capable a lawyer as them. Those feelings motivated her to work harder and probably contributed to her success. I’m not sure if the lawyer I mentored will see this, but I have to thank her for sharing ideas that became the inspiration for my protagonist. So, what’s the story about? Gabriela Sanchez is a young lawyer who grew up in the Rio Grande Valley watching her father in court. After clerking for a federal judge and working with her father, Gabriela moves to Dallas to prove she can make it in the big city. At first, much to her dismay, Gabriela becomes known for being named one of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Women in Dallas by D Magazine (There was an annual list. Check out 2015 here.).  and for an award from Catholic Charities for her work helping refugee and immigrant children. Then, a trial consulting firm (think of Dr. Jason Bull TV character) recommends Gabriela to defend the richest man in Texas in the most highly publicized white collar criminal case since Enron. At the beginning, Gabriela believes the poor have little chance to defend themselves, but during her defense of Sparks Duval, she discovers how tough it is for a rich man to get a fair trial when the DOJ is hellbent to convict the defendant at any cost including destroying his lawyer. I enjoyed writing the book and incorporating what was happening in real life. I strongly considered not publishing it because I was writing it for my own education. I’m still not sure it is ready for prime-time, but if I can borrow words from a  Seth Godin  blog titled:  Art is what we call... What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the eye of the beholder. It’s in the soul of the artist.   I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.

Recruiter Tips for Tackling the Robots Reading Resumes

Scout Tips for Tackling the Robots Reading Resumes Scout Tips for Tackling the Robots Reading Resumes Ever thought about whether anybody even looked at that continue you sent fourteen days prior? Many occupation searchers excitedly hang tight for a reaction and miracle where their application winds up. As an enrollment specialist at Simply Hired I'm here to mention to you what occurs after you hit the submit button. The uplifting news: Don't stress. We got your resume. It's not lost. The awful news: Many elements become an integral factor before your resume gets seen by natural eyes. 1. After you send your resume it enters an online framework Before a scout ever observes your resume it meets a robot called the Applicant Tracking System (ATS), which contains a huge database of up-and-comer data that smoothes out the selecting procedure for an association. Most organizations, especially huge organizations, utilize this innovation since it's a cost-effective approach to keep all the applications in a single place and deal with the whole enrolling process. The ATS adds you to its framework and takes the substance in your resume and scores you dependent on how intently you address the selection representative's issues. I don't get this' meaning for you? It implies you need a resume that is robot and scout cordial. 2. Designing is similarly as significant as substance Inside the ATS, enrollment specialists pick and enter the specific abilities and capabilities they're searching for in a given position. You need to coordinate these wants with watchwords that are part of the expected set of responsibilities. You can have quite a few capabilities, however on the off chance that the ATS can't peruse your resume, at that point you will be off guard. A couple of key tips for an enhanced resume: Use watchwords in the body of the content and all through the whole resume when fitting. The ATS gets on setting and importance dependent on situation of the watchwords. Utilize the language the organization is utilizing. On the off chance that they're calling it internet advertising your resume shouldn't call it content showcasing. Utilize simple to-peruse standard textual styles, for example, Arial or Times New Roman. Legitimate accentuation and spelling matter. The all around acknowledged document position is a .doc augmentation. This organization is the most secure wagered, as the ATS makes certain to perceive your data. The manner in which you enter your resume is significant. Continuously transfer your resume straightforwardly into the framework as opposed to composing your data into each field. Along these lines the ATS can consequently populate your data, making it simpler on the whole accommodation process, for you and the ATS. 3. The ATS tracks all that you do When you're in the framework, selection representatives have all out perceivability of your action, from answering to messages to applying to various employments at a similar organization. The ATS gives a dashboard that tracks the entirety of this. Applying to numerous situations with fiercely various resumes could hurt your odds of getting employed. It will cause you to appear to be unfocused in your pursuit of employment, and it will point out any resume errors. Likewise, in the event that you answer to the employing director, the spotter can see this and the other way around. The silver coating for you is that you additionally have a dashboard. You can login to whatever ATS you applied through and track what number of occupation positions you have applied to and see where you remain on the application procedure. Simply be cautious with your applications and cooperations with employing directors or selection representatives. Continuously keep an expert tone and ensure your resume is a legit portrayal of your aptitudes and experience. 4. The ATS is utilized from numerous points of view With the entirety of the cutting edge innovation accessible in the ATS, some of the time it's basically utilized as a database for monitoring candidates. Frequently the percent coordinate score isn't the last decision. Enrollment specialists will in general trust their own impulses over a machine's assessment. The percent coordinate score is bound to become possibly the most important factor when there's a huge amount of utilizations, a selection representative finds a decent resume and doesn't experience the rest. This is a disservice for most employment searchers yet dont be disheartened, on the grounds that 5. At long last, timing does make a difference There is a component of good fortune. It's ideal to apply when you first observe a vocation posting since you have a higher probability of being seen first. Be that as it may, don't feel hesitant to apply to more established employments. More seasoned employment postings could mean that the spotter had no karma with past up-and-comers. The takeaway from this? A great deal goes on in the background, and you can't control what occurs after you hit submit. Be that as it may, you can get ready for the ATS, have practical desires and be aware of your activities during the application procedure. The best thing you can do is ensure your resume plainly mirrors your worth and remain positive all through the entire procedure. Good karma with your pursuit of employment, and please remark underneath on the off chance that you have any inquiries.
