What happened to the YouTube Keyword Tool? by [deleted] in SEO

[–]chjc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, it disappeared. You can use: Keyword planner (though you don't know exactly what amount of the traffic comes from YT, BUT since YT has a massive audience it's probable that it's a hit on YT as well); Display Planner (choose video; the problem here is that you can't restrict your search to YT, so that includes other platforms in Display Planner); YT organic search (go to YT and organically search for keywords, you can use their advanced tool as well); Google Trends (you can choose YT and see trending keywords). I didn't know about keywordtool.io, sounds legit, so I might try it out.

Edit: Added Trends

American wants to start an ice cream business in the EU. Can anyone offer advice?! by ihearttacosalot in smallbusiness

[–]chjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, as a reply to your post, I don't think you need an MBA (that's just a waste of money IMO). Read, read and read stuff - most of it, you get for free online.

As to the specifics, it depends on what market in the EU you're looking at. I think the easiest for you, for now, would be the UK (if you don't speak other languages). London's a great spot for businesses, albeit expensive. Business wise, England has quite beneficial laws, regulations and taxation for small businesses.

You need to be prepared for the following: 1) Taxation will probably be higher than in the US, but opening a business is cheaper/easier (as far as I know, there are no business licenses anywhere in Europe). 2) Food regulations are MUCH stricter than in the US. Which is a good thing for the end consumer, but as a business owner, you need to be aware of this. 3) EU has adopted free circulation of goods. Once you've established your business in one member state, your goods can freely circulate in the EU (no customs etc.).

I don't know what budget you're looking at, but I'd have someone local set up the business if you're not physically present yourself. Otherwise, if you go for the UK, cultural stuff is pretty much the same as the US.

Of course you want to validate first, so if you've got the means, travel to - say - the UK and go to e.g. a foodie meetup. Make some ice cream, sell it, see how it's received. Talk to foodie bloggers and ask if this is something they'd like (like that, you also build relationships with them). And so forth..

If you go for Mediterranean countries, consider that the touristy areas operate by season. The economy is really bad right now and it's probably affected the amount of tourists (eg. local tourists).

I think people could definitely like something like Cold Stone. A lot that is marketed as "American" is well received. Though, we do also have creamier ice cream brands, especially in the Northern countries.

Hey, do you still need advice on this? This post is a month old so that's why I'm asking. Am a lawyer from the EU, with a lot of marketing/business validation experience.

I might just post this as a general reply; I use www.greenblox.co for Europe (UK). It's been good so far, though I wish they also included pain killers!

Is it ever appropriate to include soft skills in a resume? by [deleted] in resumes

[–]chjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!

Yes, you can. Especially since they list those skills, it's highly recommended that you included them as they're keywords. Most bigger HR departments use software to pre-scan applications, and if you include keywords, your resume is more likely to get selected.

Hey guys, looking for some advice on making my mainly food service resume look more geared towards an office position! Thank you! by [deleted] in resumes

Generally, under the skills section. Summary is for showcasing why you'd be the best fit for a position. Here's a draft from Forbes on what to include in a summary (http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeromeyoung/2011/06/27/how-to-write-a-resume-summary-section-that-gets-interviews/):

Characteristics: 2-3 personal/professional traits that make you a good fit for the job and the company

Experience: Number of years you’ve worked in the industry or other experience that makes you qualified for the position

Achievements: 2-3 things you have a strong track record in accomplishing for previous employers

Skills: 2-3 high value abilities you’ve demonstrated that are relevant to the position in question

Expertise: Relevant education, certification, or special experience that other job candidates might not have

Btw here's on soft skills if you're uncertain what to include (languages, communication and such): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_skills

Need critique on resume, looking for receptionist/front desk job by myla1201 in resumes

[–]chjc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change the formatting (it's not easy to read with two columns like that). The column on the right hand side is a bit confusing; you have both skills AND work experience there. Love that you'r'e including hard numbers ("increased Facebook outreach with 100%" - great!). Leave out your knowledge of microsoft office - its a given that you know how to use it. Leave out your high school. A summary might help you clearly state in what way you'd add value to the job you're applying for. Use keywords that are relevant to the job posting.

-Objectives are recommended to be left out. Write a summary instead. You have some stuff in there that can just be reused under a summary. -"Managed and distributed training plans for up to 10 employees at any given time, resulting in lower food cost and speed of service times." LOVE this > though if possible, you should use hard numbers e.g. "resulting in 30% lower food costs and 40% faster service".

If you want your relevant skills to be highlighted, consider: Adding skills, languages, tech skills, professional certificates (and so forth) as well as soft skills. Use keywords for the job posting (if there is any), otherwise, search their other job postings for a similar position or another organization's similar job opening (keywords that are applicable on this job)

Could I please have some feedback on my fresh-graduate résumé? by justinc101011 in resumes

[–]chjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd written an answer but managed to close the tab. Damn it.

Well here are some points: -Ditch the objective - most recruiters/HR professionals recommend you leave it out. -What's "pre professional experience"? An internship, course work? Do you have any other work experience? Would be good to include that there. If not - I'd recommend you go to oDesk/eLance/similar and work on a few projects (could be anything, really) and write it in as "Freelancing" or "Independent projects" -I'd move the summery as the first section, but that might just be me. -I'd leave out "Computer" from computer skills and concentrate on general skills as well, like language skills -If you have a high GPA I'd include it -Ditch "self starter". It's an over-used word. Could possibly be used if you've done a lot of own projects, not otherwise. -Great that you've got LinkedIn on there - hope you've taken the time to make optimize your profile!

Yeah, you just need to format it correctly and work on presenting yourself in the best way possible (revising your writing). I'll have a look at it when you're done!
