"Recruiting Is Like Opening a Box of Chocolate" by Eric WalkerYou never know what you'll get and sometimes what you get is not what you expected. But you always start the same way... First, you screen out the ones that are obviously not good. Second, you look at the remaining ones and you pick a few. Third, you give it a try. There are some basic lessons to learn from the above analogy. Form matters because it is the first thing recruiters will set their eyes on. In order to pass the first stage, an application has to be appealing and look professional. Once the preliminary screening is done, recruiters go to the next stage of looking at the substance of the applications. If they like dark chocolate, they will choose them first. Too bad if you are vanilla! Concretely, this means that you have to meet the employer's requirements. Last step can be either the most rewarding one or the most disappointing one. You taste the chocolate with high expectations since you think you did a good job screening out what you don't like. Some may be up to your expectations, some less, some not at all... What is the lesson from all this? Writing good resumes or cover letters can help you get to the third stage, but if you don't have what the employer really wants, you won't get in... and you might get burnt at the interview. Alternatively, if you have what it takes, but cannot make your case, too bad, you just missed the boat! This doesn't mean that you have to be modest. It simply means that you have to look at the application process as a whole and be honest with yourself and the recruiter. Whatever you write in your application, be sure you can back it up at the interview. Playing up expectations doesn't always help.

Forensic Science - The Many Sciences Applied To Crime Solving by All Forensic ScienceShows about forensic science are at the top of thee television ratings, whether the science is assisting in unsolved mysteries, solving current cases, or merely a fictional representation on one of the many CSI spin-offs. With the increased visibility of forensic science, it is no wonder that people are gaining more interest in the process as a career and as a subject of interest. If you are considering a career in forensic science, there are many areas for you to settle on a niche. Not only is there the police detective work that is currently so in favor on the small screen, there are many other opportunities as well. Forensic science also applies across a wide range of situations. Unlike on television, forensic scientists are highly specialized, and you might be surprised in the areas to which they apply the skill. Handwriting and documentation experts are considered forensic scientists. The professionals examine pieces of documentation to determine who wrote them, as well as other paper evidence such as lottery tickets or the print styles of fax machines. Again, the potential for misinformation is vast- the forensic document examiners do not analyze personalities from handwriting samples. Forensic botanists specialize in the plant life, including pollen, that is found at a scene and can give clues as to the time and location of the death. Likewise, forensic entomologists also help determine time and cause of death through their knowledge of insect and other small life that can be found at the scene. Other areas of forensic science include experts in firearms or tools, forensic anthropologists, and forensic orthodontics. All of these areas are highly specialized, and it is simply not possible for one person to have all of these areas within their realm of expertise. All take extensive training in their chosen fields, yet all work together to help solve crimes. Above all, the person interested in forensic science should remember the context of prime-time television. Cases are never solved in the hour it takes the show to run or even the days that the show represents. Forensic science is a much slower paced, highly detailed process, and if you are considering the field it is important to keep that in mind. About the Authorcopyright©2006 allforensicscience.com.
