Writing Phone Numbers on Resume - Do You Really Know How to Get Them Right?

Writing Phone Numbers on Resume - Do You Really Know How to Get Them Right?What is the best way to write phone numbers on resume? It can be a bit challenging to get your words out there. It can also get confusing and difficult to make it all work out if you don't know how to do it.The best way to get numbers off of a resume, and the best way to do it without sounding like a moron, is to just sit back and let them come to you. You can type them out and just choose them when you need them, but you won't always get the spelling and grammar correct. That's just not what you're going for. If you want to impress a hiring manager, then you need to get it right the first time.One of the reasons it can be hard to write phone numbers on resume is because they are very similar and for some reason we all just kind of fall back on the same old styles. So you can't really do anything about that, but you can certainly improve the way you choose to spell them.First of all, try to think about some di fferent ways of spelling phone numbers. For example, would you prefer the letters C and V? Are you thinking that instead of '43' you'd like to spell it '43-4', or even '43 and four'? And if so, you probably get the idea.When you get ready to do it yourself, put a sheet of paper in front of you that lists the numbers you want to use. On each one, write the name of the phone company, and the phone number. Then go back over your list and try to write the numbers that you don't have.Next, go over your list with some extra information about the business, like the locations of the offices and thephone numbers of the main contact persons. Write down their phone numbers, and consider whether you'd rather give them a 'home' or an 'office' telephone number. Just as an aside, if the business is in New York, you might want to give it a 'Manhattan' phone number instead of a 'Manhattan office'. (This is not as much fun, but I am sure you will remember it and be able to use it for future reference .)Finally, go over your list again and choose the phone numbers that you think sound best. If you have questions, write them down too. If you are trying to find the phone number of the CEO, just put his name in the blank space, and then write 'headphone'. That's it.

What Are the Best Nonprofits to Work For

What Are the Best Nonprofits to Work For Looking for a job and something more fulfilling than trying to beat out Bob from accounting for that next promotion? Careers site Indeed has released its annual ranking of the best non-profits to work for, based on employee reviews around five factors: compensation and benefits, work/life balance, job security and advancement, management, and culture. At the top of the list are organizations that pride themselves in giving back to the community, with Habitat for Humanity up front, followed by the AARP, Boys Girls Club of America, the Boy Scouts of America and Communities in Schools. According to Indeed, several newcomers are in the top 15 compared to last year: The Salvation Army, Girl Scouts of the USA, American Red Cross, Easter Seals, Teach for America, Planned Parenthood, and PRIDE Industries. Though a majority of Americans work in the private sector, according to the Non-Profit Quarterly, the labor force has increased within the non-profit sector since 2003, with more than 14 million people working at non-profits now. A majority of that work performed is within the health and education fields, which correlates with the list below. “Employees seem to be very satisfied and happy to work for a mission-driven organization that helps a community they are passionate about,” says Indeed’s senior vice president Paul D’Arcy. “Users were ranking each of these nonprofits very high in terms of work/life balance, management, and culture.” Some of the more interesting sounding jobs available right now include “Chief People Officer” at Teach for America, the CEO of the Girls Scouts in the Hudson Valley, and a vice president of digital strategy at the AARP.
