Fw: 10 Reasons to Hire a Grown-up

Hello Everyone,

I thought this would be of interest to you.

10 Good Reasons To Hire A Grown-Up
 
As part of a close knit creative department, the copywriters and art directors
were used to walking into each other’s offices to borrow awards books, the
latest Adweek or some not well hidden enough stash of chocolate. Ed usually had
the best collection of all of the above, so it wasn’t surprising we were in his
office even when he wasn’t there.

 
What was mildly surprising was that he had left his driver’s license on his
desk. But what was completely incomprehensible to us was what we saw on his
license:  his date of birth. Doing the math we late twenty-somethings figured
out that he was (gasp) Over 40! How could this guy who looked to be our age and
was in the creative department possibly be So Old?
 
Young does not automatically mean hard working. Where do older creative folks
go?
 
It wasn’t so much that he looked our age, although he did indeed choose his
parents wisely. It was more that we never saw anyone over 40 at the agency
except for the president and the executive creative director. And possibly a few
old ladies (who might even be pushing 50!) who processed payroll. It certainly
never occurred to us that some day we might be Over 40 ourselves.
 
Well there’s a whole generation of creative folks who are now over 40 and
apparently all of them are commenting on a recent post about the Age Old
Question.  They are justifiably ticked off about age bias.

 
Here’s the deal, though. All that effort is wildly unproductive and could be
channeled in a much more effective way. How could folks so good at crafting
messages and getting the word out about brands be so bad when it comes to
marketing themselves?
 
First thing is, folks north of 40 have to be clear on all the advantages to
hiring a grown-up. So I suggest:
Read these before going into an interview for a shot of confidence and to know
how to answer the age question.
Pass this on to others. Link it in your blog. (You do have a blog, don’t you?)
 
Advantages to Hiring a Grown-Up:
1. We know how to have real conversations. We didn’t grow up texting each
other. We like talking in person and know how to speak on the phone and in
person. We can speak extemporaneously and know what it means. And we listen.
2. When we’re working, we’re working. Our job is not our social life. We’re not
looking for love or a hook-up at work and we don’t spend hours texting and
flaming others about it. Because we don’t care.
3. It’s nice to have a Grown-Up on the team. Consider this scenario: your top
client is waiting in the conference room and the projector just broke. Who do
you want presenting with just a white board and a marker, the grown-up or the
recent grad?

4. We’ve seen it all before and have perspective. We’ve seen clients freak out,
servers go down, blackberries go in the toilet (literally). As long as no
kittens, puppies, or babies were harmed, we know these can be fixed and It Will
Be OK.

5. We’re done with the babies. We may have kids but for the most part, they are
past the keep you up all night phase. No matter how youthful you are, running on
no sleep day after day is going to affect your performance.
6. Loyalty. Not interested in jumping around. Again, been there, done that.
7. We’re on time. Perhaps it’s because we still wear watches.
8. We understand the bottom line. Most of us have either consulted or had our
own business, so we understand being responsible with the company’s money.
9. We’re good mentors. Everyone talks about the importance of mentors. There’s
no substitute for a ton of experience, both in work and in life, to make you a
good one.
10. If you’re selling to the biggest, most powerful, wealthiest demographic
(Baby Boomers), who better to help you do it?

Article: How to Write an Effective Resume Title (Monster)

How to Write an Effective Resume Title

By Kim Isaacs, Monster Resume Expert

When you create or edit your Monster resume, you are asked to name your
resume. The name you pick will be featured across the top of your resume in
bold and colored text as the resume headline, so select a name that is
memorable and professional.

Experts suggest learning about appropriate job titles before writing the
resume title field. "First conduct a search <http://jobsearch.monster.com/>
for representative jobs that interest you," says Ginger Korljan, principal
of Take Charge Coaching in Phoenix. "Whatever title you choose, the
remainder of your resume should demonstrate why you are qualified for that
position," she says.

You are allotted up to 35 characters for the "resume name" field in the
Monster Resume Builder <http://my.monster.com> , so select your words
carefully. Don't be afraid to use abbreviations to save space, and keep in
mind that the goal of your title is to compel employers to keep reading your
resume. An effective title includes your resume objective
<http://career-advice.monster.com/resumes-cover-letters/resume-writing-tips/
whats-your-resume-objective/article.aspx> and your strongest qualification,
says Pamela Hann, CPC, a workforce services specialist for the Kansas
Department of Commerce. "That could be years of experience, an industry
credential or a job-related skill," she says.
