make the most of the rest of 2016?
Job Hunting Tips from the US Presidential Campaign
Granted, President of the United States is one of the most important and high profile jobs in the world, but a job nonetheless .. with voters in the role of hiring managers. Here are a few guidelines that you can apply to your job search: OUTLINE HOW YOUR BACKGROUND MAKES YOU UNIQUELY QUALIFIED - Detail your successes in the role and the processes of how they were reached. Also address challenges so you can highlight how you overcame them. Voters and employers both realize not all times will be smooth. Thus, it’s vital to prove you can clear hurdles. STATE CLEAR GOALS AND PLANS FOR REACHING THEM - Have specific milestones in mind to demonstrate that you won’t win the job and then drift aimlessly. No hirer wants a lame duck, so layout specific goals that your experiences and skills can help the organization reach. BE ARTICULATE AND CONFIDENT - Exuding self-assurance inspires confidence from others. Be engaging: comfortable, but not overly familiar; serious, but not stoic. The right look doesn’t hurt, either. Confidence can be as much conveyed in wardrobe as in demeanour. Remember - Warren G. Harding was famously thrust into the nomination in 1920 because he ‘looked like a President.”

Diwali (or Deepavali, the "festival of lights")
is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in
autumn (northern hemisphere) or spring
(southern hemisphere) every year.. Arguably
the most important festival in Hinduism, the
festival spiritually signifies the victory of
light over darkness or good over evil,
knowledge over ignorance, and hope over
despair. The celebration includes millions of
lights shining on housetops, outside doors
and windows, around temples and other
buildings in the communities and countries
where it is observed. The festival
preparations and rituals typically extend over
a five-day period, but the main festival night
of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new
moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month
Kartika.

REGENCY PARTNERS
WITH TTARP
www.regencytrinidad.com
Regency Recruitment is pleased to announce
that we have partnered with The Trinidad and
Tobago Association of Retired Persons (TTARP)
on a focused initiative to provide job opportunities
for their members aged fifty (50) and over who
are seeking employment.
Many employers seek experience and knowledge
when trying to fill a vacant position. The Trinidad
and Tobago Association of Retired Persons
(TTARP) has a massive membership of almost
35,000 persons who are age fifty (50) and over,
who are professionals, tradesmen or other
experts in their fields. Therefore it is no surprise
that many employers searching for reliable,
responsible and honest employees have turned
to TTARP for applicants.
Over the past year, TTARP engaged in discussions with several leading employment agencies within
T&T. They were seeking an agency whose goals are fused with
theirs, and they found such a partner with Regency
Recruitment and Resources Limited, a personal, dynamic
employment agency whose goals mirror theirs. Together,
we aspire to provide opportunities for those persons who
are labeled as “seniors” not only because of age but their
expertise and skills in varied field.
This partnership is quite timely, as The International Day of
Older Persons will be observed on October 1st and
the theme for this year is "Take A Stand Against Ageism".
Why A Good Resume Matters Nobody can ever underestimate how important it is to have a good resume. First impressions count, and the first impression that a potential employer will have of you, is going to depend on how you present your resume. This is going to be your one and only chance to capture a potential employer’s attention, or for your resume to be tossed into the file of those they don’t want to pursue. The statistics are that the average employer only spends a few seconds looking at a resume, so it is imperative that it makes an impression. In this increasingly competitive job market you need to have a professional resume that contains the right information, so that it will stand out amongst the countless other resumes that potential employers will be looking at, and give you the best possible chance of getting their attention. You need to remember that you only have a few seconds that the potential employer is going to be taking to glance at your resume, so it’s very important to make sure that all the years you have been working and studying are going to be represented properly in your resume.
