Mr. Procrastinator

Mr. Procrastinator Are you one? Do not worry!  Millions are. Let us, first, see why you might procrastinate!
  • You misuse your time,
  • You start a lot of tasks at the same time,
  • You do not like some tasks,
  • You feel you are overused by your employer,
  • Better not done than done wrongly,
  • You suffer from intolerance and discrimination work,
  • Your employer criticizes you more than he motivates you,
  • You suffer from some sort of mental exhaustion or stress,
  • Reward is not immediate or the task is not urgent,
  • You are not paid for doing that task,
  • You know there is someone who will do it,
  • You try to avoid the pain of failing,
  • Your role is not clear,
  • You over-estimate your abilities,
  • You want to learn everything before you act,
  • Distraction easily finds its way to you,
  • Lazy… That is YOU!
  • Several similar methods to perform the same task exist,
  • Deadline pressure is your favorite,
  • You do not say “no” to tasks you cannot do.
There are several other reasons, but the results are one, or all, of the following:
  • Job not done,
  • More criticism from your employer,
  • Low productivity,
  • Less happiness at work,
  • Desire to leave the job,
  • Becoming untrustworthy,
  • You lose the job.
To solve the problem, there are concrete actions to take, namely:
  • Know why you procrastinate,
  • Solve the health problems related to procrastination,
  • Prioritize your tasks,
  • Ask for help to become more productive,
  • Ask your boss where he wants you to focus,
  • Limit your list of tasks,
  • Stop saying “yes” to every help request,
  • Work in a team,
  • Ask for more training,
  • Break the large tasks to smaller ones.
  • Start working with hard and smart workers people instead of procrastinators.
Now that you know what to do if procrastination bothers you, you need to try to remove it from your other areas of life. If you eradicate it from your life permanently, you will enjoy a more productive life.

Layout

Remember that it is a resume. It is not a Da Vinci picture. It is not a painted board. It is just a resume. It is not harmful to use a color in the main sections; blue, for example. But please avoid using colors like gray, yellow or any color which has no utility. One color to highlights the main sections and the main skills is enough. You need to keep it professional and to take the following into consideration: Simple template: Sometimes some candidates choose very complex resume templates. The HR manager finds it so hard to extract the information they are looking for. If you like to complicate things for people, please make your resume the least complex ever. Remember:  choosing a very misleading or complex template does not mean you have a good resume. Size: 14 for the main sections and 12 for details is enough. Please avoid using more than two. All the fonts on Word: Using all the fonts in Word is not professional. It makes a document hard to focus on and som

External Links

You can add some external links to your resume, but you need to pay attention. Your carefulness needs to be at its top, because if you do not pay much attention to your  personal branding , whoever googles you will get wrong or incomplete information about who you are. Linked In : Your Linked In profile must be identical to your resume. Otherwise, HR will think you are not sure of what you are doing. You need to update both of them whenever you learn a new skill or get a new certificate or diploma. Facebook : Avoiding Facebook profile is always better. If you are professional, you can put a link to your Facebook page. When you are famous enough to have a   verified Facebook account , try to make sure you have no friend on your list who is working in the company you are applying for a job in. Always clean your account and make sure what you post does not scratch your image. Also, make sure you do not take part in “bad” groups. YouTube : When I submitted my CV to  Marrake

Informaics

As an interviewer, it is good to hire people who have some knowledge of informatics. It is good to hire people who can: Connect PCs with printers and other devices, Install and uninstall software, Master basic software and those needed in the job, Have done some informatics projects. It is not enough to put the following only in this section: Informatics: Word, Excel & Windows Movie Maker. Instead, it is always better to show what you can do with that software, especially when you do not master or know any of the “professional” one. The example I shall illustrate here is the  Microsoft Office . In many resumes, I see “Microsoft Office” without a single explanation from the candidate of what they can do with it. A resume can look better if the candidate puts it this way: Informatics: Microsoft Office : Excel: Billing, Stock Management. Here, the candidate should have worked on an example and bring it either in a USB or can even bring her laptop with him
