CAREER TIPS FROM THE CREATIVE GROUP. WHAT’s IN AND OUT ON THE JOB

Fashion from the ‘80s might be making a comeback in terms of ripped jeans and shoulder pads, but many job-hunting techniques from previous eras should be permanently retired. Following are five tactics that have passed their prime and their replacements:

1. Resumes. Out: Overly detailed resumes. In: Streamlined resumes that list relevant accomplishments.

2. Language. Out: Stilted language in application materials (e.g., “Please find my resume attached in response to the job posting ...”) In: More natural prose that provides a sense of your personality (e.g., “When I learned about the position, I was excited by the ...”)

3. Interviewing. Out: “Canned” responses to interview questions (e.g., “My weakness is that I work too hard ...”) In: Authentic responses that provide insight into your thought processes and how you can contribute to the company.

4. References. Out: A set reference list. In: A customized reference list for each opportunity.

5. Networking. Out: Networking occasionally. In: Networking constantly using tools such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, as well as in person.

Real. Exciting. Dramatic.

This a great ad campaign for Court TV dubbed "RED. Real. Exciting. Dramatic." a  name given to it's non-fiction programming lineup using an exciting soundtrack illustrated using only typography and special effects. I say only typography but in no way am I way minimizing it's impact. This is strong stuff. 

The action-oriented block, which includes over 150 hours of new series, helped the network jump from No. 19 in 2006 to No. 11 for adults 18-49 and to No. 10 for adults 25-54 among all ad-supported cable networks for the first quarter of 2007, which was also the most watched quarter in the network's 15-year history.
