Top Five Websites for Job Seekers #2 is Indeed

Top Five Websites for Job Seekers #2 is Indeed This is a week-long series going deeper into the Top Five Websites for Job Seekers (The JibberJobber List).  In this series Ill explain WHAT TO DO with each website/tool.  The list: #1: LinkedIn (Monday) #2 Indeed (today) #3 Idealist (Wednesday) #4 Google (Thursday) #5 JibberJobber (Friday) On this post you can see ALTERNATIVES for each of these tools, as well as why I chose these 5 tools. PLEASE SHARE THIS POST WITH THE SHARE BUTTONS ON THE TOP RIGHT OF THE POST. Indeed is a job board aggregator.  Basically they spider the internet and find job postings, and then you can search from just one place to find all the postings online.  Thats the idea they dont list everything, but they do have a lot of postings from a lot of different places. Im not a huge fan of job boards. I think most job seekers use them wrong.  I want job seekers to spend their time better than I did in my job search which means dont apply all day long on job boards.  That usually leads to a lot of frustration. What could/should you do on a job board?  Here are five things to do on Indeed: Learn about your profession and opportunities. No kidding when I lost my job I had never heard of a product manager.  I finally learned about it while surfing around job boards, and coming across openings for a product manager.  For me, surfing through job postings helped me learn about roles I hadnt known of, and hadnt thought of.  It expanded my vision on where my career could head.  Also, reading job postings of somewhat  similar  jobs you are interested in might give you language to help quantify your skills and experience, helpful for interviews, networking, etc. Learn how to network into a company. Sometimes postings have names, phone numbers and email addresses.  Record those in JibberJobber and try and network into the company.  Sometimes those contacts will be AWESOME.  Other times they will be dead ends.  But you can start to map out a path to network into your target companies.  Many times youll take that information to LinkedIn and do deeper research to network into the right people. Learn about the industry. As you see postings in your industry from your target companies and their competition, you should be able to deduce changes and challenges within a company.  I recently saw someone on LinkedIn ask why are there so many director level openings in our industry?  This was information gleaned from surfing job boards.  Think about what you learn from this and what that means as far as positioning yourself and your expertise (and brand). Find language to help you polish your brand messaging. Many people in transition havent had to think about this stuff for a long time.  Looking at current job postings should help you find trends in language for professionals like you, and figure out what catch-phrases keep appearing.  You can incorporate these phrases into your branding statements (maybe not word-for-word). Find recruiters who might be right for you. I cringe when I see people say Im in a job search, do you know a recruiter in my area?  I think: if I told you who to talk to, Im doubtful youll know what to say or how to say it!  But spending a little bit of time on Indeed might help you identify key recruiters that you should develop relationships with relationships that might be valuable to you over the duration of your career. Can job boards play a strong roll in your job search?  Sure.  Use these tips and dont waste time dumping submissions into the resume black hole.

Ways to Feel Energized at Work - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Ways to Feel Energized at Work - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career With the January blues, we can feel in the office that our energy levels are down and it may take more time to finish the same tasks because we feel reluctant. However, there are several hints to always maintain a high energy and stay productive. Below are some ways to recharge ourselves and feel energized. Go to Bed Early and Wake up Early: A healthy adult needs minimum seven hours of sleep per night to be productive. Therefore, if you need to wake up at 7am in the morning, this means you need to be already sleeping at midnight. If you can get more than seven hours of sleep such as eight or nine, that is even better. Therefore, try to go to sleep as early as possible in order to stay healthy and function your best. Eat Breakfast: Don’t skip eating breakfast. You don’t need to eat a full breakfast everyday but at least eat some cereal or a slice of bread with cream cheese on it. A banana and a cup of fruity yogurt can help too and all of these options take only 5 minutes of your time. Think of this way, when your phone’s battery dies, you plug it in to charge it so it can gain its power back. You need to regain your power as well when you wake up. Therefore, you need to eat breakfast to fully power your body. Organize Your Desk: Each day when you arrive at work, take a few minutes to clean up and organize your desk. A crowded and disorganized desk can cause stress and make you overwhelmed. Also, in a cluttered desk, it is difficult to find what you are looking for and this can decrease your productivity. Have some Break: After working for a while, give some break for a coffee. Take your coffee and go to your coworker’s desk for a chit chat. This will help you recharge your energy and refresh your mind. This is a win-win situation for both parties because it will make the same effect for your coworker too. Take a Walk During the Day: Regular exercising reduces stress and decreases tension. If you feel that you don’t have the time to go to the gym to work out, you can go for a short walk in your lunch or coffee break. A 15 minute walk outside can help you feel refreshed and awake. Even if it is rainy or cold outside, try walking right outside of your office. You will realize that your body revives immediately.

Building Relationships Organically Part 4 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Building Relationships Organically â€" Part 4 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Step 3: Convert All things being equal, we prefer to do business with those we know, like and trust. And all things not being equal, many of us would still prefer to do business with those we know, like and trust. I heard this said at a panel discussion recently and I couldn’t agree more. The question is: How can we allow that know, like and trust to happen effortlessly and automatically so that networking doesn’t seem forced, fake, or time-consuming? Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored how we can tap into the natural ability we each have to build relationships organically, letting nature take its course without injecting anything artificial into the process to force them to blossom more quickly. And we’ve seen in this series that the more we get it right up frontâ€"with who we connect with and how we connect with themâ€"the easier it is to converse, and ultimately convert that connection to a true relationship. Those who realize this, for example, understand why you wouldn’t send a Facebook friend request or a LinkedIn invitation without crafting a personalized note, any more than you would phone someone you’ve never met and start chatting away without introducing yourself or mentioning a reason for calling. This week we’ll wrap up the series with a focus on the third step of the organic relationship building process: conversion. Conversion is about evolving from simply being known to someone, to ultimately being trusted by them. Trusted enough to buy from you, trusted enough to tell their friends and colleagues about you, trusted enough to offer their help to you when you ask for it. Conversion But there are different categories of conversion: Supporter: Where there’s a natural chemistry and mutual respect. Anyone who likes you will usually be willing to help you out with a favor or spend time with you to give advice and feedback. Partner: Where there’s a natural synergy between your respective goals. These are folks who can help you expand your business by collaborating with you to develop new markets, products and services. They help not just to feel good, but also because there are direct and tangible benefits to them for doing so. Customer: Where there’s a natural need someone has that your product or service can fill. For example, corporate training managers, event planners and others who hire speakers for their organizations would be potential customers for me. Endorser: Where there’s been an actual experience of working with you. These folks can give a whole-hearted recommendation based on their hands-on knowledge. They can help answer questions the prospect may have, thereby serving as your mini-sales force. The reason some people struggle with networking is that they focus on meeting only those who fit into the Customer category. Or worse, trying to push everyone they meet into the Customer category even when it doesn’t make sense. Realistically, only a small percentage of folks you’ll come across will ever buy from you. But that doesn’t mean they can’t play a crucial role in your business success as a supporter or partner. In fact, when you have supporters, partners and endorsers, winning over customers becomes a lot easier because other people are doing the selling for you. So the key to successfully converting initial connections into productive relationships is to focus your conversations on winning people over as supporters first. Build your know, like and trust factor by finding out what’s important to them, what they’re pursuing, and how you can help. When you work on gaining someone’s support rather than to trying to leapfrog over into the sale, not only will you put less pressure on yourself with networking, but you’ll also put less pressure on them. And in that natural, relaxed state will the most robust, productive and profitable relationships take root and flourish.

Why You Shouldnt Lie During Your Job Interview - CareerMetis.com

Why You Shouldn't Lie During Your Job Interview Source : Pexels.comThere is no reason for you to lie during a job interview.First of all, why would you want to mislead your hiring manager into thinking you are the right person for the job if you aren’t?That is going to make both you and the firm loose other opportunities. You could be in a place where you truly enjoy yourself, and they could hire a person who’s 100% fit for the job.evalSecond, lying says a lot about a person.In the end, the truth will come out anyways, and your dignity will suffer. You will feel ashamed about your actions; and the worst part is that this harmful action will have an impact on your future too.Once you get caught, people will stop trusting you; and I am not only talking about your prospective employers â€" I am referring to your partner too. When you give out the news that you did not get the job, they’ll ask why. You’ll have two choices: either tell the truth, or lie again.If you are a person of integrity, you’ll probably choose the first option. But imagine telling your partner that you lied in your interview/job application in the first place. They might think you would always be capable of lying to them too.Third, honesty shows nothing else than self-confidence.If you are self-assured, not many things will get to you. You are going to be sure about your beliefs and act confidently. You are going to be yourself. And isn’t that the best person you can be?Here is a list of reasons on why you should never lie during a job interview.1. Your dignityevalevalIf you want to keep your dignity intact, don’t lie. It is not only about job interviews, it is about life. Lying makes you lie more, and soon you find yourself distorting truths that truly matter. In the short term, you’ll probably feel no guilt.In the long-term though, after multiple similar scenarios, you might start questioning yourself. You might become aware of what you’ve been doing, and lose confidence.And that, my friend, is difficult spot to be in. Co nfidence is tricky. It can be gone in one second, and leave you uncovered for the rest of your life.So, take care what actions you take if you want to keep your self-respect and confidence intact.2. Your reputationevalIf you don’t care about your self-confidence, you might care what other people think about your unethical behavior. As I was saying earlier, lies don’t last long, and truth comes out at the end anyways.Once the truth has been revealed, you’ll either need to lie more, or simply recognize that you are dishonest. That will make you lose credibility in front of any employer.We all know that word travels fast, so you might have a hard time finding a good job once someone caught you lying. You might not get significant recommendations anymore, and become frustrated and sad.So, avoid losing your career by telling the truth, would you?I’ll give out a personal example.One of my friends, Catherine, got an interview at her dream company. She quit her other job, got hersel f prepared to meet the recruiters, dressed up nicely, and of course, brought a resume with her.She said to me, “I was so prepared to conquer that job position. It was literally my dream job. I was very enthusiastic, and for some reason, felt the need to lie about my achievements. I did not have enough experience, and because I lacked confidence, I made up a random job name at a very important company in my work field. I told them that I worked there. Little did I know that they would call and check with that specific firm. I was caught, and ashamed, and did not get the job. I realized there is no point in lyingâ€" you only miss important opportunities. You are who you are and that’s it. Lesson learned.”3. Your performanceTelling the truth is good for a reason!It makes you avoid companies you won’t fit in and colleagues you won’t like. If you are hired based on lies, your work might become a pain in the bum in the long-run.evalYou need to enjoy what you are doing! Unfortuna tely, that becomes impossible if you are desperately lying to your hiring manager in order to get a job offer.This is a mistake so many people make. They go to a job interview thinking “What if they won’t like me?” instead of thinking “What if I don’t like them?” In the end, you must have a good time in that company too, right? Is not only about them, it is about you.Youchoose yourpath and your career. So, don’t lie â€" be honest, and select your work place properly.4. The moneyMany people lie about their former salary in order to get a higher offer at the current company. While that could be considered a white lie, it is still a lie after all. The verification process through which new employees must go will reveal the truth!The background checkswill come after you, and even if they don’t discover anything, you’ll be anxious and scared throughout the verification process anyways.evalAnd why would you want that? Your value is not given by that insignificant number. If that is how the previous company perceived you, there are ways to improve. A new firm means new opportunities to excel, so don’t think that you are going to stagnate.Every new step you take is a form of evolution, so don’t be scared. Money comes to people who truly deserve it! Don’t lie about it and set yourself up for failure!eval5. Let go of fearsSarah Kate, editor and freelance writer, shares her story with us. “I used to lie a lot during job interviews, until someone caught me. I was embarrassed and stopped working for a while. I started meditating and seeing myself for I truly was: simply me. Then I realized: I have nothing to lose.So, I started being as honest as possible when interviewed. I didn’t care what they thought about me anymore. I only cared what I thought about them. Soon after, I got a position at one of the most prestigious companies in the city. Being honest was totally worth it.”Let go of fears! Be honest! When you have nothing to lose, you can w in anything.6. Wrapping upKeep your dignity intact, and your performance appreciable. Don’t lie about your former salary or anything of that kind.Be honest and let things come to you. Lying means remembering everything. Being honest means letting go of fears.You choose!

Brainstorm That Promotion You Want! - Hire Imaging

Brainstorm That Promotion You Want! - Hire Imaging Over the course of my 30-plus years as a career coach â€" and with credit given to my mentor, Susan Whitcomb, here are 10 Cs for promotable people: Character Confidence Communication Competency Connection Critical Thinking Contributions Commitment Control Coachable If you have these characteristics, kudos! There are two other factors though. Know your company’s situation. Is it in flux? Adding talent or laying off? What’s the industry’s health like? Thirdly, as with all things career, it’s good to start with self-analysis. Why do you want to be promoted? What’s that look like to you? Here are some questions to brainstorm to help frame your promotion target. Set them up in a Word document, giving yourself ample space to flesh out your answers. What is the title of the position you are targeting? What is the detailed job description of the new position? What is the bottom-line impact and value you’d be delivering in this position? What is your motivation for wanting this? Where will this prometon take you long term? Ideally, how long would you like to stay in this position? What will this promotion bring to your life? How will your life change because of this? FLOAT INTO THE FUTURE It’s one year from now, and you’re celebrating your anniversary of being hired for your new position. You’re settled into the new job and are delivering solid results. Describe a typical workday in detail, noting things like your level of confidence and self-esteem, the people with whom you regularly interact, the types of decisions you’re making, what you’re most proud of having accomplished this past year, and so on. After allowing space to do the above, what thoughts and emotions come up for you as a result? To recap, there are 10 characteristics of promotable people. Your company’s financial situation, business strategy, and growth goals will impact your promotional opportunities. Get clear on your promotion target, including the title, responsibilities, bottom-line impact on the organizations, what opportunities it might lead to long-term, how long you should envision staying in this role, what the new position means for your future, and what it will bring to your life. Finally, make sure the position is a FIT: It allows you to use your preferred functional skills; it is in an industry you enjoy; it aligns with the things that matter to you (salary, life balance, geography, etc.); it brings you fulfillment; it is consistent with your identity and how you both see yourself and want others to see you; and it complements your personality type. I always love to hear from you! Please comment below.
