As a Software Engineer be ready to prove your claims; be honest. If you cannot really do
something, refrain from saying that you can do it. For example, if you don’t
think you’ve got good communication skills, don’t write so. Yet, if you’ve got
good communication skills indeed, you can try to inform the potential employers
how you have used that skills of yours effectively in order to finish
something.
At times, this city can seem like an ocean of distress. Half-built or unsold
condos abound. Office buildings dot marginal neighborhoods offering low rents to
stay full. Loans secured by real estate are in trouble. Yet, distressed
commercial inventory can be elusive, kept off-limits by banks waiting for a full
recovery and perhaps mindful that in the last downturn, in the early 1990s, they
may have let go of valuable real estate too soon. Nonetheless, some are figuring
out how to wrest control of these troubled properties.
Extell Development plans to start with its 34-story International Gem Tower
building in March with or without a construction loan. The developer's equity
partners in the project have agreed to invest the funds needed that many lenders
have shied away from in recent years. The Diamond District commercial
condominium currently has 150,000 square feet worth of commitments from buyers,
which works out to around 20 percent of the building.
Reveal your contributions; a better idea compared to simply listing the
duties in your previous work experiences is to demonstrate the success you have
achieved, if any, in your previous jobs. Whenever possible, provide measurable
information. For example, it is better to say, “established a new marketing plan
that resulted in 75% increase in company’s product sales” than to say,
“established a new marketing plan.” Bloomberg LP is seeking an additional 300,000 square feet near its
headquarters at 731 Lexington Avenue and East 59th Street, which would expand
its current space by one third.
The company already rents nearly 900,000 square
feet at 731 Lexington Avenue, but there is no more room available at the 1.3
million-square-foot property, which is owned by Vornado Realty Trust. Over the
last year, the company has added close to 500 lawyers. It was unclear where
Bloomberg was looking but sources said there is a large block of space available
at 601 Lexington Avenue, a Class A building owned by Boston Properties.
There are a number of red flags when looking at resumes that should, at the
very least, be noted and questioned as part of any phone screen with the
candidate. Some of these red flags are easy to spot such as gaps in employment,
job hopping, multiple moves to different states, using years instead of
months/years for employment history and noting a college and degree program
without indicating graduation. Others still are more subtle, like a significant
drop in responsibility or a completely new career direction. While there are
many valid reasons for some of these red flags, it should generate follow up
questions if all other qualities of the resume are suitable for moving to
further contact with the candidate.
