It provides updated information, practical applications, and suggestions for the future. The top four things you learned from reading this book: 1. Statistical projections for the percentage of gay people in the population is underestimated. 2. Income earnings are not correctly reported. 3. Violence and prejudice are more prevalent than I thought. 4. Corporate America provides more benefits to gay couples than I expected. Liz Winfeld's third edition of Straight Talk About Gays in the Workplace, Creating an Inclusive, Productive Environment for Everyone in Your Organization, continues her discussion of diversity issues as they relate to both corporate positioning and social tolerance. She calls upon over a decade of experience in Workplace Diversity, Sexual Harassment Prevention, Spirituality in the Workplace, HIV/AIDS Education, Workplace Violence, Transgendered Workers, Disability Awareness, Sexual Orientation in the Workplace, and Multiculturalism to update her guide. Her focus is bottom-line business and employee education at the same time. Two words in her title tell you what her book is all about: Productive and Inclusive. Cited in her book, Witeck-Combs and Harris International reported there were 15 million self-identified gays and lesbians as of the 2000 U. S. Census and surveys done in 2002. Buying power for the gay community was $451 billion in 2002 and projected to be $608 billion by 2007. Bob Witeck is quoted, \"In the past few years we have learned that buying behavior has common threads for gay and non-gay consumers alike. Gay men and lesbians consider the same factors as others do, but they now expect high standards of respect and equal inclusion in the market and workplace. Companies that understand these attitudes will successfully communicate their values and market their products to increasingly visible gay households.\" Winfield offers advice and real-life illustrations on how business managers can create and implement sexual orientation education in their workplaces. …","PeriodicalId":307782,"journal":{"name":"The Career Planning and Adult Development Journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129476905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enelow","doi":"10.1080/14672715.1986.10412595","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14672715.1986.10412595","url":null,"abstract":"Welcome to the CPADN Journal's special edition on Career Communications - Resumes, Cover Letters, LinkedIn Profiles, Bios, Networking Conversations, and Interview Messages. When asked to guest-edit this edition of the Journal, Louise Kursmark and I immediately accepted since both of our careers have been as resume writers, authors, trainers, and more-all within the careers industry. Most significantly, we have worked tirelessly to help our colleagues thrive in their own careers, and we know that this publication will be a value-add for all.With more than 30 years' experience as a resume writer, I've witnessed a massive evolution in career communications. This evolution started slowly as the Objective became the Skills Summary and then re-appeared as the Career Profile, a section that now often includes a job seeker's Personal Branding Statement. While some things have changed, as just noted, other things have largely disappeared (e.g., Personal Information, References) and new things have emerged (e.g., Technical Qualifications, hyperlinked Multimedia Presentations).The pace of change has further accelerated over the past 7-10 years as technology has revolutionized job search, candidate sourcing, and recruitment. Today, social media has also taken hold and we've experienced even more significant changes now that LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media channels have become key players in job search and employment.As the evolutionary cycle has progressed, the way in which we communicate on a daily basis has also changed dramatically. Who would have ever thought that 140-character tweets would be a common method of communication? Yet they are. Those changes - impacting all of our communications - have had a profound impact on career communications as well, and that's what we'll explore in this edition of the Journal.Before I take you through an overview of what you'll learn from reading this edition of the Journal, here are a few essential notes:The term resume writer refers to people who write resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, and other career communications. In 2014, almost all resume writers write a multiplicity of documents to meet each job seeker's unique goals and pathways to success.Although derived from the French word resume, today's resume is an American English word (particularly throughout North America and rapidly spreading worldwide). No accent marks recommended! Personally, I see resume as dated, and that is not a good thing in today's competitive - and young - job search market!A key element in writing outstanding career communications is to be able to do so with a modern, clean, and lean writing style. What does that mean? Your challenge is to tell your client's whole career story in half the words!Today's resumes must be written for both the human eye and technology: specifically, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), which we'll explore in detail in several articles. The impact of this is enormous as it changes co","PeriodicalId":307782,"journal":{"name":"The Career Planning and Adult Development Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122949650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
