This document summarizes research on millennials' use of social media and their awareness of how it could impact future careers or education. The research found that most millennials were aware employers and schools may check their social media, and they carefully managed privacy settings and content. While initially assuming risqué content would be common, the researcher found most profiles were innocuous, with millennials learning social norms from both online and real-world communities. The study concluded millennials understand how to present themselves appropriately online for professional purposes.
This PowerPoint is for demonstrating and ensuring that social media users have a marketing plan in place, with an identified ROI for the time and effort spent in using social media for their business or personal branding.
This Powerpoint presentation provides a baseline for users of the social network site to get a relatively good idea of how to increase the profile status, promote personal branding, and to assist in career and job searches, as well as building their marketing brand for themselves or their company.

1. What is STAGE One?
Resume Writing, Coaching,
and Career Search Services
D. Boyer Consulting
Dawn D. Boyer, Ph.D.(ABD)
2. STAGE ONE
Stage one is the „demolition
and rebuild‟ process.
Remember back when you handed in your „perfect essay
paper‟ to your fourth grade teacher and she handed it
back to you „dripping with blood‟? The paper had red
marks all over it!
That‟s my job. Stage One, Round One is the step where
the job seeker will get receive a re-formatted resume and
the „written interview‟ process begins.
The „written interview‟ – within the resume – will pull out
the value-added data you may not have thought to add to
your resume when starting your job search.
3. STAGE ONE (continued)
Many job seekers have seen
examples of „resumes‟ in books.
Or, they‟ve been provided
examples by career counselors at
their college or military TAPS or
the local employment center.
Recruiters don‟t want to read or
re-read those formulaic job
descriptions. Sample of a rewritten ‘perfect’ resume
• After writing over 10K resumes, I have gotten the layout,
format, style, and informational sections down to a science.
• Recruiters want real data - I provide that data to my job
seekers who can‟t seem to get past the recruiting firewall.
4. STAGE ONE (continued)
The top four inches of a resume –
whether aimed at commercial
companies, government
contractors, or government services –
need to be packed with vital pieces of
„at a glance‟ information about the job
seeker.
This section gives the recruiter or
hiring manager the incentive to keep
on reading.
My job, as a resume writer, is to
rewrite resumes with a „hook‟ - the
resume provides rich, details, concise
wording, is easy to read, notes
achievements and goals reached, with
documentable metrics.
5. STAGE ONE (continued)
I delete subjective language such as: Excellent
communication skills, superb management capability –
these are not provable or documentable.
I rewrite passively written language such as: Chosen to
lead, Directed to manage, Picked to oversee…
A resume should “SHOW, not TELL” past achievements
to demonstrate capabilities and what transferable skills
the job seeker has to offer the employer.
I help job seekers find their voice, demonstrate
strengths, and convey capabilities in the language and
wording in the updated resume; now they know just
how wonderful they are!
6. STAGE ONE (continued)
It won‟t be a „pretty resume‟
when I am done – (sample to right) –>
it‟ll be very „plain Jane.‟
But, it‟ll be powerful in the
words that explains why the
hiring manager really wants
to consider the applicant.
Here‟s the reason I write the
„pretty‟ out of the resume…
7. STAGE ONE (continued)
Most businesses refuse hard copy resumes
today, because businesses have moved to digital
solicitation and uploads of resumes.
Automated Tracking Systems are used to convert a
resume to text and then parse data into searchable
fields for the recruiter‟s database.
The data is used for reporting to federal agencies
requiring annual reporting via Affirmative Action Plans
based on EEOC, DOL, and DCAA agency rules defining an
Internet Applicant.
8. STAGE ONE (continued)
Because a company MUST
report metrics, and can‟t
afford clerks to compile data
on huge numbers of
applicants, they direct the
applicants to record the data.
It‟s faster, easier, and cheaper
to have the job applicant
upload the digital resume,
answer a few questions, and
create the data for electronic
reporting.

10. STAGE ONE (continued)
Your resume should be a sales tool that gets you in the
door for the interview; it should entice and create
curiosity for what else you might know about, or what
capabilities you have.
That‟s your goal…
11. STAGE ONE (continued)
Are you ready to ensure your resume is one of the
richest and the most powerful persuasion tools in your
career search arsenal?
Here‟s how to get started!

On average: Stage 1 is completed within 1-3 days, Stage 2 within 2
- 5 days, and Stage 3 can take up to a week and a half. These are
average time ranges, but the number of customers in the queue
can push the completion time back a few hours or a day or so. You
can move up to the top of the queue if you wish to pay a extra for
24-hour turnaround (an additional $70.00 each for Stage 1 or 2).
