Why You Should be Preparing a Job Search Strategy Before Its Needed

Why You Should be Preparing a Job Search Strategy Before It’s Needed I have a confession to make. When I entered the recruiting field, I didn’t get my foot in the door by networking with key players in the industry. I didn’t establish myself as a subject matter expert by sharing my brand on social media â€" social media didn’t even exist then. Instead, I was one of “those people,” the ones just looking for a job. After leaving a New York City advertising job while the city was struggling to recover from 9/11, I made the move to a city where ad agencies were few and far between, and was forced to start over from square one. Building relationships in a new city, in an industry that hardly existed there and working my way into my “dream job” wasn’t an option â€" I needed a job and I needed a pay check. But I had one thing to offer, and I believe it’s something that is, or should be, valuable to employers. Whatever industry I landed in, I was willing to learn it to the best of my ability, and give the company 100 percent. Those of us who have been comfortably employed for a number of years, especially in the recruiting industry, may find it easy to dispense advice about how job seekers should go about getting themselves out there â€" how job boards are a thing of the past, whereas networking with industry experts on LinkedIn groups and Google Plus communities will allow you to make valuable connections that will eventually lead to employment. While this is valuable advice, it may not apply to all applicants, particularly those forced into desperation. And I can tell you from experience that desperation doesn’t make an applicant less qualified or employable. When searching for a job, there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. Here is some advice for your job search that, while you’ve probably heard it before, I believe requires tailoring for the situation. Establish Yourself on Social Media We all know the importance social media has played in the recruitment and job search process in the past decade. If you have total job security and your industry doesn’t require a social media presence, then you may never need it. However, if you suddenly find yourself out of work and on the job market, don’t expect to quickly establish yourself on social media and be able to find work from it. A strong social media presence takes years to build, and like a garden, must be regularly attended to and allowed to grow. Even if you’re not into the “social” aspect of social media, you should at least have a presence on the most popular sites, in order to connect with former coworkers and industry experts who can alert you to job opportunities, should you find yourself out of work. Having a professional and well-constructed LinkedIn profile is considered just as important (and sometimes more so) than a resume nowadays. This, combined with a Twitter profile with a number of followers from your industry, can be infinitely more effective in executing your job search than word of mouth. Establish Yourself as an Expert in Your Industry The same holds true here as with your social media presence. Establishing yourself as an industry expert won’t happen overnight, and if you wait until you’re out of work, those who are established will be hesitant to refer work to someone they’ve never heard of, but who suddenly claims to be an expert. As you build your social media presence, share your knowledge. Posting articles, blogs, job openings or even personal experiences in LinkedIn groups or as status updates or tweets will build trust and respect among industry colleagues. Then if the time comes when you need advice or referrals, you won’t be viewed as a stranger. Don’t Rely Solely on Job Boards I’ve read a lot lately about how job boards are archaic and a job search should only be conducted by networking on social media. But two things preclude this from happening effectively â€" one, not being well-connected on social media, and two, not having a significant amount of time to put into your job search. The first reflects the earlier paragraph emphasizing the importance of a strong social media presence. The second refers to whether you’re looking for a new job while currently employed, or if you lost your job unexpectedly and urgently need to return to work in order to meet financial obligations. If it’s the latter, you may not have the luxury of networking online for weeks or months, hoping to hear of an opportunity that someone in your network knows of. Job boards are still the most direct route to employment. Considering the improvements that the major job boards are continuously adding, as well as the number of niche employment sites that are constantly being developed, they should be one of the first stops for anyone looking to get back to work quickly. As for those who are passively looking for a new job while still employed, job boards can be an excellent way of finding out which employers are hiring, and for which departments. Then you can use that knowledge in order to target recruiters, hiring managers and current employees of the company on social media. The job search process is very different for someone currently employed but looking for a better opportunity than it is for someone who’s just been laid off and is desperately looking for that next pay check. Most of the job advice I see caters to the passive candidate, but doesn’t take into consideration those who don’t have the time to spend networking their way into their dream job. However, with some advance preparation, you can build your social media presence and online reputation enough to not have to start from square one should you find yourself on the job market.

Plan Your Days or Else - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Plan Your Days … or Else - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career 86,400 Everyone has the same number every day. In case you haven’t done the math. There are 86,400 seconds  in 24 hours. Everyone has the same amount to start every day.  These 86,400 seconds will tick by no matter what we do. Its our responsibility to use them wisely. What will you do with your 86,400? Most people will spend about 8 hours working and about 8 hours sleeping. The other 8 are up for grabs. Many people will spend a lot more hours working and give up a few more sleeping hours. Some people can keep this pace up for their whole lives. Thats great if you are one of these people. Others need more sleep or more downtime. If that’s you … that’s Ok. Just plan accordingly. Since Work and Sleep may take up 2/3’s of a typical day how we spend these hours may not be completely up to us. But, how we spend our “other” 8 hours is very much up to us. I realize we have lots of entrepreneurs and solo-preneurs out there. Most of the people I know in these roles work many more than 8 hours … I know where they spend their “other” eight. Use your Eight Wisely How you spend your other eight hours is up to you. During these “other” eight hours there are a lot of things we can do. Some of these hours will be consumed with commuting time and other commitments that we don’t have much control over. Some will be filled by family or work commitments. This is all well and good, but you need to block off some time for yourself. For me I try to block off time every day to: Read Think Exercise Do Nothing Some might say … Doing Nothing is Not Productive There are times in our days, our weeks and our months where we can actually get more done by doing nothing. In these times we can be re-charging, re-thinking and re-evaluating. Plan for downtime and take them when you plan them. Below  are a few Tools, Routines, Realities and Risks that I use  to help keep on track as I  try to use my 86,400 seconds wisely. Tools: Use a Calendar This might be obvious, but it should be stated. Use a calendar and stick to it. Use it to plan your days, calibrate the time you plan vs. the actual time to complete a task, and as a way to make the most of your 86,400. Microsoft Outlook  â€" Calendar function with tasks. You can show the whole day, the work week or the full week, or the month. Google Calendar  â€" You can do the same things as Outlook DayTimer  â€" Old Fashioned Pen and Paper. Yes, the analog method still works perfectly well. Added bonus … It always boots up! Whatever works for you … use it. Routines: Monday  â€" Friday: Print your daily calendar and put it in a laminated page protector. Then use it to aggressively use your time wisely. If someone wants, expects or needs something from you … work with them to get it on your calendar. If it’s not “Calendar Worthy” you can be upfront with the person and let them know this may not be a good use of your time. Is this fair? I think the answer is YES. You know where you need to spend your time. You can let people know where your priorities exist. Your  calendar will help people know where and how you prioritize your time. What I tell people is: If it’s not on my calendar it does NOT exist. Harsh? Yes. But also very true. Sunday: Look over your schedule for the week. Plan to be ready for the weeks meetings … instead of being surprised and unprepared by weak meetings. Realities: The reality is … things happen. Plans change. Deadlines move around. Customers, partners, colleagues, and families (yes you need to plan time for your family and friends) will need things at times that don’t align perfectly with your calendar. That’s life. Plan for the unexpected by blocking off times or by giving yourself some extra cushion to achieve a deadline. You’ll feel a lot less stress and you’ll be able to get more done. The Biggest Reality: Everyone has the same 86,400 seconds every day. Planning to use them wisely will reduce your stress and will ultimately make you productive. As an added bonus you will become a much better judge of your skills both for time management and also for what you like to do. Why do I say this? Because you will be more attuned to what your skills are and for your best times to work. Also, you will schedule more time … or at least prime time … for what you really like to do. Speaking of Prime Time Some people are night owls. Some people are morning people. Everyone has different times that they are more productive. By monitoring your time with a calendar you will find what times of day are best for you for  thinking, doing critical tasks (number crunching, creative efforts, etc.), doing mundane tasks (expense reports, updating CRM, etc.) and even for daydreaming. Using a calendar will allow you to plan accordingly and use your time more effectively. Secret: You might even learn  something about yourself. You might find that your best work is  done during odd hours.  Adapt and adjust to these circadian rhythm clues.  Because they will help you to be your best and get the most out of your 86,400 seconds per day. Risks: The biggest risk is … Not planning your time. Because if you dont plan your days … someone else will. What will you do with your 86,400?

Using Hindsight to Build Foresight - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Using Hindsight to Build Foresight - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Of course, hindsight is 20-20. How often have you said: If I knew then what I know now. After the fact we can all see the situation and adjust the way would have reacted If only we had known then what we know now. Using Hindsight before it Happens Of course, people cannot experience something before it happens. Sure, there are fantasies of time travel from H.G. Wells “The Time Machine”  to J.K. Rowling’s  â€œTime Turner”  in  the Harry Potter books and movies.  But for most humans we can only experience something as it happens. (Side Note: If there are some people out there with the ability to do time travel… they aren’t sharing their secret.) However, there is a caveat to this. We can leverage, extend and learn from  the experiences of others. Such that we can avoid the drudgery (or risks) associated with some tasks and focus on the more positive outcomes (based, of course, on each persons perspective). In this way, humans can (and do) stand on the shoulders of giants. One advantage humans have is that we document things. We scribe on cave walls. We make Instagrams and Vines. We make  it so others dont have to make all the same steps (both Mistakes and Victories). We can learn from their hindsight. Imagine it Before it Happens Almost everyone dreams of the ideal situation we want to occur when we are getting ready to do something. Whether its to ask someone on a date or to ask for a raise or to ask for the order. My suggestion is Keep imagining. Imagination is a powerful motivator. Imagine on a grand scale… then make it a reality. One way to do this is to write it down. Write down your expectations for the ideal scenario. Write down the steps you will take to achieve those expectations. Write down the steps the other people involved should take too. This way you can imagine the conversation from both sides. Pro Tip:  Consider Alternatives. Imagine beyond the ideal situation. Think sideways and backways and slantways.  Imagine what other scenarios may be possible. You’ll never come up with all of them, but having a Contingency Plan is wise. When going through your imagination process never forget to consider the best interests of any others involved. That’s what will motivate them. Think about and always consider their atavistic self interests. See my post on The Secret to Your Success for more on this topic. Of course, don’t discount your own self-interests. Document your Response before it Happens One way to insure you use hindsight to empower your foresight is to take the time to document what  you want to happen. In some senses this step has an impact as a positive reinforcement cycle. Its a bit of a self-affirmation. For example, if you are in sales you may want to remind yourself to ask the prospective customer if there is anything else you can do for them. This is an open ended question that could lead to add-on sales. A simple note on the back of your notebook or at the top of your sales order form can remind you. It’s as simple as that to document your response before it happens. Do this both for predictive and reactive situations. Predictive in the sense that you already know what the likely answer will be. Be prepared for it and re-direct as needed. Reactive in the sense that the situation may be very fluid and dynamic. This is where your Contingency Plan may come into play. Why? To test your hypothesis and to see how you did. The whole point of using Hindsight to Build Your Foresight is to imagine possibilities, document what you think might happen, execute a plan, then compare your results to your documented plan. Simple! When done consistently and when you review your expectations compared to your results your hindsight can be used to develop your foresight. What’s  Past is Prologue From Shakespeare  we get this  simple yet wise statement. It works quite well in  A Hindsight is Foresight view of the world. Both statements mean  that history influences and sets the context for the present. That’s It! Use your experiences (your hindsight) to develop a predictable and repeatable model of engagement for whatever endeavors your are pursuing. When you do this you will be able to create a model that develops your ability to create and envision better foresight. It may seem like magic to some, but you’ll know that it was the result of carefully documenting what you wanted to happen then comparing the actual results to the expectations. When you do this consistently you will be sought after for your skills as someone who  thinks through projects to the nth degree. Which will help you in your efforts to build your reputation, increase your authenticity, and to  stand out in your career. I predict some of you will try this idea  and find great successes. When you do please let me know in the comments.

Time is of the essence when it comes to finding great candidates, qualifying them, and scheduling an interview. If you take too long, you may lose great talent to other opportunities.evalFurthermore, leaving your applicants in the dark about where they stand in the qualification process can lead to terrible candidate experience.Technology can help in this area with NLP Offering these kinds of training programs can certainly help you attract great talent because most candidates are highly motivated to find positions that will allow them to learn new skills and advance in their careers.A research compilationreport from Shift Learningfound that 87% of job-seekers stated opportunities for career growth and development were top priorities when it came to accepting an offer.SourceThis same report also found that employees that underwent this kind of training reported 10% higher productivity rates, and th ey were more likely to stay with the same company for the long-term.Learning how to use the latest industry technology can be extremely empowering for employees.

Allowing people to work remotely can also boost productivity levels, whi ch gives employees more time to focus on other projects.Offering this option provides many benefits to your employees, including saving them time and money from commuting, lower stress levels, and the ability to achieve even higher levels of productivity and focus.SourceBusinesses that offer remote work options â€" either full time or as needed â€" are seeing great benefits.CoSo Cloud’s researchfound that remote employees were 77% more productive and 52% less likely to request time off. It is also interesting to note that this study found that remote workers were also physically and mentally healthier, got more sleep, and had higher levels of job satisfaction thanks to this better work-life balance structure.Obviously, ensuring that employees are not only able to work outside of the office, but that their quality of work does not suffer will depend on the digital tools they utilize.Communication tools are key, as well as project management systems for file sharing and keeping ever yone on task. Digital adoption is critical for remote employees to be successful. They will need to apply technology correctly as they will not always have immediate access assistance.CONCLUSIONDigital adoption is something that nearly EVERY business needs to plan for.But what many business leaders fail to realize is the positive effect it can have on the internal workings of the company in addition to its profitability.Businesses that are able to stay up to speed with industry technology will be able to attract and retain better talent because of the countless benefits they are able to offer their employees.Digital adoption makes it possible for businesses to provide employees with better candidate and employee experiences, career advancement training, and options for remote work. Furthermore, when employees are able to utilize technology to its fullest extent, they are more productive and the company itself is more profitable.Clearly, the benefits here far outweigh any excuses arg uing that digital adoption is too expensive and time-consuming. This is not something that should be put off for another day. Start now in order to put your business and its employees on track towards productivity and profitability.

The Pros and Cons of Choosing a Career in Construction Overseas - CareerAlley

The Pros and Cons of Choosing a Career in Construction Overseas - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. (Image credit: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/15270086211089194/) A world of opportunities awaits those open to move and work overseas instead of limiting their career options to their own country. Whether you plan to move abroad for life or for a short while, the thought of living and working in another country can be intimidating for many. However, several people choose to travel to foreign lands to make a living. And those who missed their bus encourage others to do so. Working in a construction company abroad may not necessarily be like being in a safe 9-to-5 job environment. If working long hours isnt an issue, then consider problems related to work-life balance solved. Two main considerations that you need to ponder over before arriving at a decision are if it will actually help you advance your career and if it will enhance your overall life experience. Many people consult others who they know have worked abroad for advice, to get a fair idea of what its like and whether the move will suit them. http://www.careeraddict.com/3282/pros-and-cons-of-working If youre on your way to accepting a lucrative job offer at a good construction company in another country and are looking for all the advice you can get, then youve come to the right place. In this post we look at some pros and cons of working overseas. Pros Exposure to Large Scale Projects While the global economic meltdown is still around, some countries arent affected much; as a result their economies are comparatively healthier. This implies that their construction sector is probably doing well too. It is in these counties that a construction professional can hope to prosper and make moolah. He can also expect to be part of large scale and big-budget construction projects wherein he can gain hands-on experience in his craft and learn from the best. Salary and Incentives If youve decided to move away from your home and family and work in an alien country, it is assumed that the opportunity is probably rewarding enough for you to take such a step. That said, working in a positive economy will have a direct implication on the pay package that is offered to you. If youre moving to a country where the currency value is considerably higher compared to your home country, then you can look forward to a swelling bank balance. Besides the pay package, you might also get chances to earn performance-linked incentives. As long as you work effectively, this is a great opportunity to make more money and make the geographical disparity between you and your family worth it. Gaining Temporary but Meaningful Experience Outside Your Comfort Zone The mention of having worked with big construction groups in a foreign land will, without doubt, look impressive on your CV. Even if it is for a couple of years, overseas work experience from countries with a robust construction industry will hold you in good stead when it comes to looking for a better job. Most renowned construction companies look for meaningful exposure and learnings gained from a prospective employees overseas stint while hiring candidates and if you utilize this opportunity well, it could very well work in your favor. (Image credit: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/8514686764987638/) Cons Working Conditions at the New Place Do not expect the working conditions to be the same as you might be used to. For example, if youre taking up a job in a Middle Eastern desert region, you might have to work all day long in the hot sun and endure the desert landscape. This kind of work may go into months, and leave requests to visit your family may not be taken too kindly. Your accommodation might not turn out to be in keeping with your expectations either, especially if it is provided as part of your remuneration package. It takes time to adjust to a new country. You will need to be extremely patient and resilient in handling your career there. Adapting To the Laws of the Land In all probability, you have very little or no idea of the laws and legalities of the country youre considering moving to. Every country has different laws, some of which you might have never imagined could exist. However, a law is a law and non-adherence to it will get you into trouble. Relocating Your Family An important consideration while moving abroad is if you can take your family along. Usually, companies do not provide amenities for the employees family. This factor is especially important if you find it difficult to go on for long periods away from your family. If you have children, their schooling might be another cause for concern as it is not easy to arrange for admissions and can be a costly affair. (Image credit: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/209065607673995369/) Conclusion Thanks to globalization, the world has become a smaller place with ample opportunities for everyone. Whether you finally choose to move abroad or not is a decision dependent on you based on your priorities the importance of the outcome of such a move. It might not be easy, but with the right attitude, it doesnt have to be tough either. Author Bio: Krysten Jetson is a freelance writer specializing in the construction industry.
