What To Write On Your Resume When Your Job Title Doesn’t Reflect Your Responsibilities
So, you’re ready for a new challenge at work. Perhaps you’re looking to move upwards into a leadership role or searching for a job that has greater responsibilities. Or, perhaps you want to change industries or switch careers into a completely different function. The only problem is, you’ve been knocking it out of the park in your current position because you go out of your way to proactively seek projects, assignments, and tasks. Your job title understates all that you do in the workplace, and you aren’t sure how to reconcile those differences on your resume.

辭職遞信先係最後一戰！教你準備5樣離職分手的禮貌
辭職遞上大信封之前，難免會幻想一下與老闆「攤牌」的情境，有的希望老闆加人工留人；有的卻希望老闆輕輕放過。不論如何，跟令人又愛又恨的老闆打上最後一戰，當然要做好準備，免得在「臨門一腳」才壞事！ 1. 遞上真正的「信」 既然說是遞信，當然要準備一執簡潔明瞭的實體信。請不要貪一時方便寫封resignation E-mail、甚至短訊通知就算了事。請鄭重地當面跟老闆提出離職，並有禮貌地遞上信封，就當是客套的分手禮物吧！ 2. 保持風度 不論你對公司有多大怨氣，既然之前能夠「忍一時風平浪靜」，又何必在最後關頭才放棄呢？鬧得太難看，只會淪為別人笑柄。事實這回事，心中有數就夠了，即使對方是個小人，亦不礙於自己做個君子。 3. 斷絕「復合」遐想 總有人明明已經決定離開，在最後時刻卻在故作神秘……筆者只想問一句：何必呢？公司為了留住你，很有可能會提出加薪。有些人為了吊著舊公司的胃口，總會要走不走，當公司滿心以為你被說服之際，你又拍拍屁股說想走人了。這種「復合」的遐想，實在可免則免吧！既然下定決心想轉換環境，何必再磨磨蹭蹭呢？

Be a Better Leader By Asking Yourself These Questions
When you think of a successful leader, you probably think of someone confident and decisive. Not only do questions serve as an opportunity to solve problems and develop processes, questions can drive personal improvement and aid in delivering targeted and effective results. In this day and age, leaders are expected to motivate, engage, and influence. And this can be done most effectively by asking the right questions.

寫履歷表 (CV) 要講呢啲
搵工要份好CV，呢一點相信大部分人都知。但偏偏平時收到嘅CV當中，有唔少都寫得比較「奇形怪狀」，有啲寫多咗唔應該寫嘅嘢，有啲又會寫漏好重要嘅嘢。咁到底一份好CV應該有啲咩？ 1. 基本個人資料 個人資料當然必須有你嘅姓名、聯絡電話、電郵地址等。姓名可以係全名、亦可以包括英文名，電郵地址要係「正常」嘅，[email protected]嗰啲唔該收返埋先。 有啲人喺呢部分會寫多咗，包括詳細地址、出生日期、性別、宗教信仰、婚姻狀況、係咪黨員（至少香港、外國公司唔駛），呢啲都唔係必要性資料。如果你覺得住得近公司係一個優勢，寫住邊區已經足夠，因為HR係唔會上門探望你。 2. 事業目標 喺CV開頭嘅部分可以加份簡短嘅事業目標，4至5行已經足夠。寫工作目標最緊要貼地，係一啲可以達成嘅目標。例如如果你係個薯仔，唔好寫話下年我要坐你CEO個位，咁樣就好似有啲不切實際。 3. 學歷 對於一個Fresh Grad.嚟講，可以先寫學歷、後寫工作經驗。但如果你已經做咗好幾年嘢，就應該將重點放喺工作經驗，後寫學歷。有啲人寫學歷會寫到去幼稚園，其實去到中學，對一般工作嚟講已經足夠。另外，我見過有部份人會列曬自己每一科嘅成績，其實除非成績同申請職位好相關，你係可以選擇唔寫落去。 4. 工作經驗
