AI is playing an increasingly important role of AI in modern hiring practices, and it’s going to make your life easier. Resume writing, applying to jobs, getting noticed, is not the primary profession of most people on Malakye.com which makes having the help of machine learning makes sense and we fully support it here. A designer designs, a product developer develops designs, merchandisers build the line plan. Those are specialized professions and putting together a winning resume is a totally different skill set. So, let’s allow the robots to help and stay focused on our specializations. This article is stacked with useful information and ideas.

In a recent conversation with Earl Sherrard (a Design Engineer at Cascade Designs for the last 25 years), when thinking about his approach to searching for a new position and taking break to unplug, take a step back, think about approach and strategy, he said, ” I feel great; not guilty”. And that statement inspired this piece of the importance of taking breaks to refuel, find the right focus, and keep driving forward. Here’s a great rundown that’s worth reading through + considering.

Visualization works. If you take a look at professional sports and sports in general, people who excel and have fun doing it visualize what it is they want to execute and then go do it. If they fail, they get up, dust off, and go for it again. Future NBA hall of famer Russell Westbrook’s brand Honor the Gift has a great motto that embodies this idea, “Self-Belief”. 2 Words that can change your life.
