My name is "Sunny" Shahinian and I am a Registered Dietitian / Nutritionist. For more than 5 years, I have been helping patients and clients achieve better health. I have done this both in hospital and long-term care facilities, as well as classrooms, and community organizations.

As a dedicated healthcare professional, I have a strong belief in taking a proactive and preventative approach to health through client education, disease prevention, and health and wellness promotion. My passion is healthy lifestyle coaching and mentoring and I am looking for opportunities in the areas of health and wellness promotion or childhood obesity. A perfect position for me is a health coach, health/nutrition instructor/educator, or health promotion manager.

Target industries include:
• school districts / charter schools / education
• child nutrition or childhood obesity programs
• non-profit and community organizations
• insurance/financial companies/corporations
• department of health / public health
• health / outpatient clinics
• supermarkets

Specific organization / company Targets include:
• Newark Public School System
• Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
• Prudential / Aetna / Horizon Blue Cross & Blue Shield
• McGuire AFB/ Fort Dix
• Kings/ Trader Joe's / Whole Foods / Stop `n' Shop / A&P
• Johnson & Johnson

Geographic location is Philadelphia to New Jersey (the whole state) to New York (Manhattan).

My goal is full-time permanent employment; however, I am open to short-term assignments, as well as long-term contracts.

If I could help anyone in anyway, please do not hesitate to contact me. I have an extensive Linked In professional network and would be more than glad to assist.

Thank you for your support. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Healthy regards,
Tsolig "Sunny" Shahinian, MS, RD

Updating: A Social Media Strategy For Job
Search<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/timsstrategy/~3/nGQrvdzca-E/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email>

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 08:58 AM PDT

[image: online social networking, world wide web, social information
processing, blog hosting services, job search, for job, web 2.0, online
dating, search engines, social media, linkedin, twitter, strategy, facebook,
profiles, social,
updating]<http://timsstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Updating-A-Social-Media-Strategy-For-Job-Search.jpg>Today
I am going to introduce a new term. At least I hope it's new. You tell me.

Actually, check that. The term is not new. But its use in this context
should be. The word is "updating".

Here is the original (and still relevant) use of the word in social media
for job search:

*"Updating" is the act of refreshing or providing a reminder of your
presence online. The act of adding new content or information about yourself
within your profile or content stream in each social platform.*

Updating your social media presence is important. Why?

- It reminds people that you are still there. Waving your arms. Or
wagging a finger.
- It tells people you are active. Not static.
- It shares new material about what you like. Or don't like.
- It often will tell a search engine or website that you deserve to be
placed higher in search results (LinkedIn, Monster, etc).
- It allows you to (potentially) build social
credibility<http://timsstrategy.com/how-to-build-social-credibility-during-job-search/>.
If you do it right.
- Profiles or accounts that are not updated get un-followed and ignored.

And all that sounds logical, right?

So what's the other context for this word? The new one.

*So "Up-Dating" is the process of updating your online profile AND the
interaction (or dating) process that happens with others when you do. Kind
of like online dating without the flowers. Cost for dinner. Or the drive
back and forth.*

Think of your updates as "pitching woo" to friends you haven't met yet.

So here are some examples of smart, productive updates. Ones that help to
introduce you to others online during job search. Or any other time you
need to pitch yourself.

*Add or update your online image* – Front and center here should be
LinkedIn. If you don't have a photo on
LinkedIn<http://timsstrategy.com/10-reasons-why-you-still-havent-added-your-photo-to-linkedin/>,
go get a nice one taken. Please don't use the one of you at the beach. The
one that was originally you and someone else. Get one taken
professionally. It is what I and others react to before anything else.
Then use that photo consistently across each of your other social media
profiles.

*Actively engage new followers and relevant people on Twitter* – Why do
people follow on
Twitter<http://timsstrategy.com/10-reasons-why-people-follow-on-twitter/>?
Well, there's a lot of reasons. Relevance for sure. By having a
distinct Twitter
personality <http://timsstrategy.com/whats-your-twitter-personality/>. But
also because you appear to be active. And not just tweeting out famous
quotes. Or blog posts. But that you are engaging people. Saying hello.
Re-tweeting content along with your take. Being a member of the community.
Need help getting started on Twitter. Try my Twitter Daily
Checklist<http://timsstrategy.com/using-twitter-a-really-simple-daily-checklist/>.
Simple.

*Remind people of your job search objectives* – You are not online just to
socialize, right? You are there to network with a purpose. To build smart
new connections. To connect with target
companies<http://timsstrategy.com/take-action-on-your-target-network-profile/>and
recruiters. So remind people about the specific details about your
target
job <http://timsstrategy.com/new-must-see-video-what-are-you-looking-for/>.
Remind about your objectives as a tweet in 120 characters (leaving room for
a re-tweet) like this: "I'm looking for a #sales role in #apparel biz.
Targets are @Nike, @Adidas or @UnderArmour – any connections? Thanks!" Or
do something similar (in your words) as your Facebook update or LinkedIn
status.

*Recognize and communicate your evolving personal brand* – You change over
the years and months. Especially during job search as you learn about
yourself through interviews, assessments, networking and other
interactions. So update your summary on LinkedIn. Improve your headline or
positioning statement<http://timsstrategy.com/how-to-write-your-positioning-statement/>and
write your bio on Twitter to be a tighter and clearer explanation of
what makes you unique.

However you view it. Updating (or Up-dating), is all part of a larger
strategy to meet new people and stay in touch with your network for the long
haul.

Because, like it or not, we are heading into a state of perpetual job
search. You can no longer bury your job search binder in a hole in the
backyard. And dig it up three to five years from now when you need it
again.

You have to stay active. You must remain relevant. And for sure, keep
dating.

*Note: This post is written on a topic in concert with other career
bloggers. Part of a group called Career Collective. You can follow the
#careercollective hashtag on Twitter for other posts this month on Social
Media for Job Search. Enjoy!

6 reasons why your friend won't submit your resume and what you can do about
it

You found the company for which you would like to work. You found a job
opening that is a great fit for you. You know that your best chances for
being hired are through networking. You have a friend that works there. So
what is the problem? Your friend is hesitant to submit your resume. It is
puzzling why someone we know, who works for our company of interest, would
not want to submit our resume. Here are some reasons why:

Using Personal Ads on Social Networks to Land a Job

By Chris Prentice

After graduating from Davidson College in 2009, Marian Schembari sent out
scads of resumes and cover letters to the big publishing companies she
wanted to work for. No results.

So she decided to sell herself direct.

Using Facebook <http://it-jobs.fins.com/Companies/4437/Facebook-Inc> 's
self-serve ad technology, she created eight ads in a two-week campaign. They
featured her face with a short headline that said "I want to work for..."
then listed her favorite companies: HarperCollins Publishers, Penguin Group,
Random House, Inc., Rodale, Inc., Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, McGraw Hill
and Hachette Filipacchi Media.

Article: The 5 Cs of Hiring (Jeff Altman)

Tue Jun 14, 2011 3:24 pm (PDT)



C x 5= PL--What Every Employer Assesses for When They Hire Someone

What does a company want to find out about you when they interview you? What
are they trying to find out when they evaluate and assess you?

In most cases, hiring staff or temporary workers starts out with a job
description. Someone sat down and consciously thought of what skills and
experience they needed on their staff. As such, most firms hopefully start
off by assessing for competence (I say "hopefully" because so many people
report that they work with incompetent colleagues). Hopefully an employer
has developed a series of questions that help them evaluate and assess
skills competency for the skills that are needed.
