Planning Your Ministry Resume
Planning Your Ministry ResumeWriting a ministry resume can be a daunting task. There are so many things that need to be taken into consideration before you begin. Whether it is a history of your ministry, the length of time that you have been a ministry leader, or your leadership style, you will want to ensure that you are fully prepared. Not only do you want to make sure that your history is well documented, but you also want to show that you are a leader that will always continue to grow and have the chance to lead others in the future.When you are preparing your ministry resume, you need to consider the two main things that will be listed. The first will be a short list of your accomplishments. You want to include things like where you were the very first leader of your organization, what you have done for others, and the number of people that you have helped to get baptized. By including this section, you are showing that you are an active leader and that you can continue to help others. Your next section is going to be what you offer to others.Your ministry resume should be short and concise, however, this can often be hard when you are writing a ministry resume. To give you some ideas, you can consider writing down ideas that you have had while you have been working with others. This can include things like, talking to children about bible studies, doing small group counseling, or talking with teenagers about the things that they do for their church and other opportunities that they may have had.One of the key things to remember when writing a ministry resume is that you are not just taking a few minutes to answer the questions from job seekers. By giving them a short explanation about your work experience, you are providing a bit of a job description that you should be able to provide. Having these ideas on hand can go a long way toward giving you a chance to really make a good impression.It is also important to have your ministry resume writing professi onally. There are many different resumes that you can find online that can be written and tailored to fit your needs. It is important to make sure that the information on your resume is accurate and that you are listed correctly. Sometimes, if there are any spelling mistakes or if your address is not listed correctly, it can affect the amount of time that you will be hired. Another thing that can affect your ability to get hired is if you have an incorrect position title.There are a lot of details that will be included in your ministry resume, and all of these details should be listed correctly. Some of the things that you may want to include is your ministry staff, what you have done for them, the length of time that you have been a minister, how you deal with stress, and the different things that you have done for others. The last thing to remember is that your ministry resume should not be too long, however, you will want to make sure that it is one that can catch the eye of the interviewer and you will make an impression.Writing a ministry resume is something that is very easy when you have all of the information that you need ready. If you are looking to start a ministry or find yourself wanting to take over someone else's ministry, it is very important to have a strong ministry resume and to have it completed properly. Remember, any little mistake can cost you a job or could leave you feeling unappreciated.

Where Presidential Candidates Stand on Equal Pay
Where Presidential Candidates Stand on Equal Pay Women earn about 79 cents for every dollar men earn, according to Census data. And while the Obama administration has attempted to push forward legislation like the Paycheck Fairness Act to address pay inequality, many believe action on this issue will fall to the next president. On Equal Pay Day, letâs take a look at where the current crop of presidential candidates stand on the issue of equal pay for women, from most to least supportive. Hillary Clinton Clinton has long been a proponent of gender equality, including sponsoring the Paycheck Fairness Act during her time as a senator. She also cosponsored the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, which made it harder for employers to discriminate based on gender, race, age or disability. During a roundtable on equal pay Tuesday, Clinton again called for the passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act, as well as paid family leave and minimum wage increases. âThe failure to ensure equal pay for women also impacts families and the broader economy,â Clinton said on Tuesday, adding that she expects pay inequality to become an increasingly important political and economic issue. âSome say this is just a problem for women, that men donât have to worry about it,â Clinton said. âBut thatâs just wrong.â Bernie Sanders Sanders also a supports the Paycheck Fairness Act, as well as advocating for pay equality on behalf of women and minorities. On Tuesday, he reiterated that the pay disparity is worse for women of color, who face a âpay gulf, not a gap,â the Vermont senator tweeted. Why is it that women are going to work and earning 79 cents on the dollar compared to men? Shameful. We need pay equity. #EqualPayDay â" Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) April 12, 2016 //platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Ted Cruz Cruz has acknowledged that women face hurdles in the workforce, noting heâs seen first hand some of the struggles single mothers in particular face. Within the Texas senatorâs family, his sister, aunts, and his own mother for a time have been single mothers. But Cruzâs political backing of legislation to help these women has been spotty. While he didnât cast a vote against the Paycheck Fairness Act in April 2014, he has said in the past the issue is âpolitical showboatingâ and eventually voted with his party to block the bill later that year. Donald Trump The New York businessman has flip-flopped on the issue of equal pay. Trump said last August that men and women deserve âequal pay for equal work,â but just a few months later, he dismissed the idea of a gender pay gap. âYouâre gonna make the same if you do as good a job,â Trump told an audience member during a Manchester, N.H. event in October. Perhaps more telling, a former staffer sued Trump in January for gender discrimination, claiming the Republican presidential candidateâs campaign paid male staffers more women in the same role. John Kasich For the Ohio governor, the current wage gap comes down to experience. In comments last October, Kasich made his most comprehensive statement on equal pay during this election cycle, saying much of the disparity came down to differing skill sets. âWell, a lot of it is based on experience,â Kasich said. âA lot of different factors go into it. Itâs all tied up in skills. Do you not have the skills to be able to compete?â Additionally, a 2014 Dayton newspaper investigation found that women working in Kasichâs office earned almost $10 an hour less than the men.
