Are You Happy with the ‘Sound’ of Your Resume?

uI am not writing anything new, when I emphasise the importance of your resume being a true reflection of your actual work history. It is not uncommon for mistakes to occur in some job choices over the course of a person’s working life.

It happens.

Potential employers/hiring managers can live with that, it has probably happened to them too. However, discovering that a potential employee has actually misrepresented the content of their resume, such as lengthening the time spent working with one employer, to cover a less than successful short tenure with another employer, is rarely well received. It raises all sorts of issues when there could have been a simple explanation. It may even go as far as having the ‘nexus of trust’ irretrievably broken. You certainly do not want anything to impair your success in the selection process or securing that great job offer.

If a hiring manager/employer cannot trust the information provided in interview or a reference, how can they trust the work provided once employed? This becomes even more vital, the higher up the corporate ladder you climb.

The integrity of a resume is a direct reflection of the integrity of a job seeker.

So, are you still happy with the ‘sound’ of your resume?

Introducing AI in the workplace

By Renagi Ingram • 09 Jul, 2023
2023 has seen an significant rise of workplaces introducing A.I. into their workplace with tools such as Chat GPT becoming more utilized in day to day tasks. In recent years, AI has made significant advancements and is now being effectively applied across diverse industries, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and logistics. While there has been some resistance from employees who may fear for their jobs relevancy , organizations are increasingly embracing artificial intelligence tools and analytics. What are the benefits of A.I. in the workplace? Increased Efficiency and Productivity AI can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing employees to focus on more complex and strategic activities. By streamlining processes and reducing manual labor, AI technologies can significantly enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace. Enhanced Customer Experience AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can deliver personalized and round-the-clock customer support. These AI systems can provide instant responses, address customer queries, and even handle transactions autonomously. By improving response times and offering tailored experiences, AI can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. Cost Reduction AI technologies can help reduce operational costs in various ways. By automating manual tasks, businesses can decrease labor expenses. AI can also optimize resource allocation, supply chain management, and inventory control, minimizing waste and optimizing efficiency. Additionally, AI can identify areas of potential cost savings through data analysis and process optimization. However in a recent people2people social media poll, it was revealed that 52.6% of workers in Australia find that since introducing A.I. into the workplace, their job has become worse/more difficult. Despite the rise of popularity, this indicates that there is still some hesitancy amongst the majority of people. What are the disadvantages of A.I. in the workplace? Job displacement AI automation can make certain job roles redundant, leading to unemployment and necessitating new skill acquisition. Ethical biases AI systems can perpetuate biases if trained on biased data, resulting in unfair treatment or discriminatory outcomes. Lack of human judgment AI lacks the nuanced decision-making abilities of humans, potentially leading to flawed decisions and a lack of ethical considerations.
