Recent Articles / News Releases:Pittsburgh Post Gazette / Beaver County Times / Leader TimesMay 2008 Ask the Career Coach How do I best explain gaps in my work history? -Lindsey When preparing your resume it’s important to note any gaps in employment and be prepared to account for them at the request of a potential employer. Some of the most common reasons for employment gaps are family responsibilities and lengthy job searches after being laid off, downsized, etc. One way to enhance your resume during these periods is to tap into any volunteer work or activities in which you may have utilized valuable skills. For instance if you assist in event planning or fundraising activities for a church or other organization, organizing activities for children or the elderly, coaching or assisting friends or relatives with computer-related projects. This is valuable experience and by taking a look at the specific duties you perform within these activities you may identify some applicable material to include on your resume that will not only highlight relative skills but will also serve to minimize gaps.

The Butler EagleAugust 2007 Ask the Career Coach I’m considering an offer but the salary is lower than I want to accept. Any tips on negotiating more money? Jason Dear Jason, Whether you’re considering an offer from a prospective new employer or working on a career path with your current employer, negotiating compensation can be one of the most intimidating steps in the career process. A common misconception is that employers will always try to low-ball prospective or current employees to save a buck. This really isn’t so. Many companies are willing to pay more and here’s the key: Return on Investment. What do you bring to the table that exceeds their requirements to justify an investment that exceeds their initial offer? Perhaps your 4 year degree (in a relevant field) exceeds their requirement of a 2 year degree or you bring a 5 year successful track record versus their requirement of 3 years experience. These are a few examples of the things that speak to the return on investment. Also keep in mind salary is not the only negotiable component of the compensation package. While cash is nice, fringe benefits like health & life insurance, retirement benefits and paid time off are just a few ways an employer can enhance your return on investment. Lisa Guard
