Resume Tips

Tips for writing a great resume

Determine your job search objective prior to writing the resume. Once you have determined an objective you can structure your resume around that objective.

1. Think of your resume as a marketing tool. Market yourself through your resume. Why should a company hire you?
2. Use your resume to obtain an interview, not a job. You want to generate enough interest to be called in for an interview. Use the interview to provide a more detailed explanation of your accomplishments.
3. Use bulleted sentences. Resumes are read quickly. Bullets make it easier for someone to quickly scan your resume and still absorb it.
4. Lead with your strengths. Put strengths first where they are more apt to be read.
5. Accent the positives. Focus on job duties that support your objective.
6. Use action words. Action words cause your resume to pop. For example, prepared, developed, monitored, and presented.
7. Use #'s, $'s and %'s. Numbers, dollars, and percentages stand out in the body of a resume.
8. Construct your resume to read easily. Remember, resumes are reviewed quickly. Help the reader to scan your resume efficiently and effectively.
9. Have someone else read your resume. They may help you discover items you left off your resume.

Part of achieving store-level excellence comes through continuously reinventing ourselves to meet the customer's needs and expectations. That means being more than just a place to buy food and gas. It's about offering the products in an environment that's friendly and accessible."

Potini Anyone?

This years Holiday Party featured Potini's from Domenic and Anthony Catering .

What's a Potini?
A Potini is hard to describe and impossible to forget. It's as warm and comforting as a bowl of mashed potatoes...as fresh and exciting as a new-age martini...and to top it off, we were able to customize our Potini with Bordelaise Sauce, roasted pumpkin, caramelized onions, salsa/sour cream, bacon,and roasted chestnuts.
I strongly recommend a good Potini for your next home or office party!

Stay Awake at the Wheel This New Year’s Eve with a Free Cup of Coffee from Cumberland Farms

Convenience store wants drivers to be safe for the holiday

This New Years Eve Cumberland Farms is making it a little easier to say so-long to 2007 and hello to 2008 by helping their customers keep alert and awake on the road into the wee hours of 2008. That’s why from 5 pm on New Years Eve until 5 am on New Years Day all Cumberland Farms locations will be giving away a cup of piping hot coffee - on the house.
Cumberland Farms is encouraging drivers to take advantage of this community service. Indeed fatigue on the road is a dangerous issue. The National Sleep Foundation says the combination of caffeine and naps is one of the best ways to help fight drowsiness, which they cite as a leading cause of accidents.
“We want to thank our customers this holiday season,” said Ari Haseotes, Vice President of Marketing for Cumberland Farms. “The goal of our free coffee program is to help them stay alert, and keep safe on the roads.”
The free coffee is available at all Cumberland Farms stores across the Northeast and Florida except for those with Dunkin Donuts service.
