Job-Search Strategist Resume Writer Keynote Speaker Career Coach

Professional Career Management Since 1983

Welcome to the Absolute Advantage—website of Jan Melnik—where we'll help give you the absolute advantage when it comes to job search, resume and LinkedIn writing, and career management. “You'll never get a second chance to make a first impression.” You've heard it often. And it's essential. Be sure the first impression you make is your best and gives you the absolute advantage in this competitive market! Ready to be inspired? It's your career. It's your life. Let's get started!

The Door Opener: A Distinctive, Branded Resume... A Compelling LinkedIn Profile—You'll Need Both!

Let us help you go to market with a branded resume and LinkedIn profile that present your quantifiable skills, specific qualifications, and detailed accomplishments concisely and effectively. A resume cannot be a career “obituary”—it must sizzle with promise for what you can do to help an organization achieve its objectives. It is your unique story!

A resume should articulate your value proposition. It presents key “predictors of success” and demonstrates “proof of performance,” the value you can deliver. And, to be most effective, it must be uniquely you, be totally authentic and clearly present your distinctive brand. You must display transferable skills and core competencies that speak to the reader and compel him or her to call you and to bring you in for the interview—which is the whole point of a resume and cover letter.

Likewise, your LinkedIn profile must be on-brand and blend cohesively with how you represent yourself, your capabilities, and your attributes on your resume. But it must not simply be your resume pasted verbatim onto LI.

Instead, your LI profile should take full advantage of the headline, summary, and expertise sections—as well as the sections for experience, projects, education, recommendations, associations, and other categories to present a multi-layered picture of who you are.

Unlike a resume, the summary should be written as a compelling and inviting-to-read narrative in the first person (the word “I” is not used in a resume; but it is absolutely appropriate to write in a conversational style and use “I” in the LI summary). Job seekers today can expect prospective employers, hiring managers, and recruiters to Google their names and search for them on the Internet and using social media—especially using LinkedIn and, to a lesser extent, Facebook.

Your digital identity plays a strategic role in how you present as a candidate. For nearly everyone, having a professional presence on LI is important for networking purposes. And, for job seekers, it has become essential to use and leverage LI as a component of an overall job-search campaign.

You Have One Opportunity

Your resume and LI profile must be able to capture the attention of the hiring authority, recruiter, or human resource professional, generally in under 10 seconds. To demonstrate a probable match between your candidacy and the job opportunity at hand, it is essential that your documents be easy to read and understand, accurate, and error-free.

They must provide sufficient information to give a strong picture of your qualifications and what differentiates you as a candidate without overwhelming the reader with detail. And they must present your skills and accomplishments positively, professionally, and with immediate relevancy to potential employers.

Our Capabilities—Your Story

We are equally experienced and comfortable working with clients at all levels—from recent graduates to CEOs. After all, the need for a professional resume (and for a career search to be successful) is no different for someone earning $50K than it is for someone earning in excess of $900K.

We specialize in working with senior executive-level clients, C-suite candidates, managers, and rising professionals and have expertise in numerous disciplines ranging from sales/marketing, high-tech environments, and manufacturing to education, healthcare, and entrepreneurial careers. A subspecialty is helping new graduates successfully launch (and college sophomores/juniors land rewarding internships). We invite prospective clients to reach out for a complimentary proposal and suggested game plan for working together (Please see “ Client Services ”). We can assist anyone who is highly motivated to make a strategic career move.

Be certain that the professional you engage possesses the right credentials and experience to assist you with your career search and understands what today's hiring authorities and decision makers are seeking in qualified candidates. You must have a well-written, accomplishment-driven, and personally branded resume that is results-oriented and clearly demonstrates your transferable skill portfolio.

It must be clean and concise—succinctly written to present your differentiators. Core competencies and distinguishing performance characteristics must be included in a qualifications summary/profile replete with targeted keywords. Be certain that your resume works effectively via email and on the web as well as on paper and on a mobile device.

Resume Writing Services Hartford, CT

Hartford is home to one of the most competitive job markets on the east coast., why hire a professional writing service in hartford, ct.

Hiring managers are busy people. Consider, for example, that the average hiring manager looks at your resume for an average of 4 seconds before deciding – do you go in the small interview pile or into the recycling bin? A professional resume writing service can help you achieve the former.

At Spring Forward Resumes, we know the specific skill sets hiring managers look for – and maximize your chances of making it to that first interview.

Looking for a job in Hartford has its benefits and its difficulties. You’ll be relieved to know, for example, that the median   pay is higher than the national average , at $56,870 (the national average is $48,320). However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that unemployment in Hartford is higher than the national average, though a long range look at unemployment rate shows that it’s decreasing in the metro area, just like the rest of the country.

One reason for the higher unemployment rate could be linked to Hartford, CT’s top employers. Finance and insurance are two of the area’s top industries for employment.  Hartford Financial Services Group has 12,100 employees alone, according to the Hartford Courant.

Health care is another   large sector for employment , with more than 100,000 employees. Hartford Hospital has around 5,000 employees, while St. Francis Medical Center employs another 2,900. Hartford is also home to pharmaceutical company branches for Pfizer and medical device leader Boehringer Ingelheim.

Highest paying jobs in Hartford, CT

Much of Hartford’s employment is centered around health care, finance, and other professional trades.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the top paid professionals in Hartford are physicians, with specialties like anesthesiologists and surgeons claiming seven of the top 10 spots. The remaining spots are dentists, optometrists, and chief executives.

" I grew up in a poor Italian Family in New York and lived my entire life in Westchester and Connecticut. My parents were members of the greatest generation. They lived their faith, loved their country, and they were totally selfless. Their priorities were their children, their family and their friends. They took little for themselves and gave what they could spare to others. I learned and lived these values my entire life and I incorporate them into our business philosophy. Every customer is a member of our extended family, to the point where many have become close friends. We take the time to know their fears, concerns, passions and dreams. We then align all of our skills and resources with their goals and we never give up until they succeed. It may be old school, but it's a value system that has served us and our customers well. "

Client Testimonials

I highly recommend Able Resume!! I was contacted by a hiring manager from a company that saw my credentials on LinkedIn and I needed a resume and cover letter quickly. Roy did a fantastic job taking my info and creating the documents. I went to the Windsor location as they are no longer in South Windsor. I have been on 2 Interviews with that company and I am expecting an offer. Could not have done it without Able.

Had a resume and cover letter developed by Roy to seek new job opportunities. He took the time to understand my skills, experience and types of jobs I wanted. He created documents that obviously impressed the companies I applied to . I also took advantage of their Interview Preparation services since it had been a while. I got three job offers and I accepted a new position after a short search. Don’t know why I waited so long to do this! Highly recommend!

Michelle D.

I called a couple of online services but I felt like I could do what they were offering. I then called Able Resume and liked what I heard. I met with Roy who obviously has a lot of Human Resource experience. He interviewed me and provided job coaching which I needed. I love my resume. Great job!

Underground tours resume at Minnesota's oldest iron mine

A MARTÍNEZ, HOST:

All right. Hopefully, you're not afraid of the dark or of heights because we're about to plunge more than 2,300 feet underground, into Minnesota's oldest iron ore mine. The state provides most of America's iron ore. This mine has been closed for four years, first during the pandemic, then for maintenance. Now it's open again, and Minnesota Public Radio's Dan Kraker tagged along with a fifth-grade class on a recent tour.

(SOUNDBITE OF MINE CAGE BUZZER)

SARAH GUY-LEVAR: Alright, let's go. In you go.

DAN KRAKER, BYLINE: Sarah Guy-Levar herds about a dozen kids and several adults into a disconcertingly small steel cage for the descent into the Soudan Underground Mine. It's only 5 feet deep, 6 1/2 feet across. We're squashed like sardines.

(SOUNDBITE OF MINE CAGE DROPPING)

GUY-LEVAR: In the days of mining, 18 to 21 full-grown men in this cage.

KRAKER: The cage zooms down through the rock, rattling as it plummets down, down, dropping 1,000 feet per minute to the 27th - and deepest - level of the mine.

KAREL WINKELAAR: Watch your step.

KRAKER: At the bottom, a sign tells us we are 2,341 feet below the surface, 689 feet below sea level.

(SOUNDBITE OF MINE TRAIN)

KRAKER: Then we hop on a train and ride nearly a mile to the last area that was mined.

WINKELAAR: All right, come on over here, guys. Everybody...

KRAKER: Tour guide Karel Winkelaar leads the way into a large cavern dug out of the rock.

WINKELAAR: This was the ore body that we're in right now. You mined all the ore from overhead.

KRAKER: The Soudan Mine opened in 1882. The ore here was prized to make the steel vital to the nation's industrial growth and to fight in World Wars I and II.

WINKELAAR: I want you guys to come in a little closer.

KRAKER: Winkelaar shuts off the lights. It's so dark, no one can see their hands. He lights a small candle, just as miners would have a century ago.

WINKELAAR: This candle happens to be put into what we call a corner sconce, and that corner sconce is designed to be worn in your hard hat like this. You put it on here, and now you can go to work and work hands-free.

KRAKER: Mine workers toiled 12 hours a day, six days a week, and only got paid for the ore they hauled up. Winkelaar tells the students most of them were immigrants from Eastern Europe.

WINKELAAR: The company is going to be taking advantage of you. You guys are immigrants. We're going to give you the jobs that nobody else wants to do.

GUY-LEVAR: All right, we're ready to load.

(SOUNDBITE OF MINE CAGE ASCENDING)

KRAKER: After the three-minute ride back to daylight, we visit the engine house. Three-thousand-foot-long steel cables unspool on a giant drum to lower the cages down the shaft. Jesse Gornick and Steve Yapel maintain the 100-year-old electric hoist. Both their grandfathers and great-grandfathers worked here. Gornick says they're custodians of history.

JESSE GORNICK: And expressing the knowledge and the importance of mining to others and kind of keeping it alive for future generations to understand why it's important.

KRAKER: This is the 59th summer of tours at the Soudan Mine, since it became a state park in 1965. Sarah Guy-Levar, the park's interpretive supervisor, says crews recently completed a nearly $10 million project to reconstruct part of the mine shaft.

GUY-LEVAR: So we don't have to worry about anything caving in onto the cages, and it is a smooth ride right now. I know it felt really bumpy and shaky to you, but the engineers did a great job.

KRAKER: About 35,000 people tour the mine every year, and Guy-Levar expects pent-up demand to take this deep dive into Minnesota history.

For NPR News, I'm Dan Kraker, in Soudan, Minn.

China and the EU are open to talks on plans to hike tariffs on Chinese EVs

BANGKOK (AP) — China and the European Union are open to holding talks on the EU’s recent decision to sharply raise tariffs on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles, officials from both sides say.

China’s Commerce Ministry and Germany’s economy minister said over the weekend that each side was willing to hold talks on the issue. Meanwhile, Chinese state media said Monday that Beijing is pushing for the EU to give up plans to sharply raise provisional tariffs on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles by July 4.

Escalating a trade dispute over Beijing’s subsidies that Brussels worries are hurting European automakers, the EU plans to impose provisional tariffs of 17.4% to 38.1% on EVs from China for four months starting on July 4. That’s on top of the 10% dutues for all imported EVs. They would apply to vehicles exported to Europe by both Chinese and foreign brands, including Tesla.

The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said preliminary results from an investigation into Chinese EV subsidies showed the country’s battery electric vehicle “value chain” benefits from “unfair subsidization” that hurts EU rivals.

Commerce Minister Wang Wentao held a video conference with European Commission Executive Vice President and Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said in a notice Saturday on its website.

“The two sides agreed to launch consultations on the EU’s anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric vehicles,” it said.

“The doors are open for discussions. And I hope that this message was heard,” Germany’s economy and vice chancellor, Robert Habeck, said Sunday while on a visit to China.

In Berlin, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he had pushed hard for the EU to offer China further talks when it made its decision on the tariffs.

“There’s still a bit of time until July 4,” Scholz said in a speech to the main industry lobby group in Germany, which has Europe’s biggest economy. “But it’s clear, of course, that we will also need serious movement and progress from the Chinese side.”

“It’s important that the EU takes its opportunity until the end of the month, but also that the Chinese government takes its opportunity to bring about an agreement,” he said.

“It’s not a small issue for us,” Scholz added, pointing to Germany’s export strength and its auto sales to China. “Our industry is confident in global competition; that’s perhaps the difference between the German business and industrial model and some others, where protectionist measures generate more enthusiasm.”

China’s Commerce Ministry on Thursday accused the EU of making unreasonable demands in its investigation into imports of Chinese electric vehicles before it announced it was raising tariffs by as much as 38%.

Ministry spokesman He Yadong said the European side had demanded excessive amounts of information from Chinese automakers and then unfairly accused the Chinese companies of failing to cooperate.

Beijing said last week that it was opening an anti-dumping investigation into pork exports from Europe. In announcing that, the Commerce Ministry did not mention EV tariffs. But the investigation into various pork products was widely seen as a response to the EU measures on electric cars.

The European side has said it wants to discuss the findings of its investigation with Chinese authorities to find ways to resolve the issues.

Amtrak resumes service after disruptions along Northeast corridor amid severe heat wave

Amtrak service was disrupted between Philadelphia and New Haven on Thursday due to a brushfire and power loss issues that came amid a severe heat wave, a company spokesperson confirmed to CBS News.

"The issues are a brush fire in Secaucus, N.J ., and a malfunctioning circuit breaker resulting in a loss of power on the tracks between New York and Newark Penn stations," the spokesperson said.

Amtrak said that as of 5:30 p.m. local time, power had been restored and all rail service had resumed between New Haven and Philadelphia. The brush fire east of Newark's Union Station was extinguished by Thursday evening, and the local fire department was clearing the scene to allow operations to resume at restricted speeds, Amtrak said. "Significant residual delays are expected on the Northeast Corridor as we work to restore normal operations," the company warned.

Passengers complained on social media earlier Thursday about being stuck on Amtrak trains in the intense heat. One passenger said they were in "95-degree heat" for about 75 minutes with no water.

Amtrak Northeast posted a number of service disruption updates on social media Thursday afternoon, including one about the Acela, Amtrak's high-speed train, being suspended between Newark and New Rochelle. 

The brush fire in New Jersey also led to delays and cancelations of N.J. Transit service in and out of New York City. By 6 p.m. on Thursday, NJ Transit said that rail service in and out of Penn Station had resumed but was subject to 90-minute delays.

The disruptions come as the Northeast remains under warnings of extreme heat, with  at least 265 million people  expected to experience temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
