Job Search Like Its 2013!!

Job Search Like Its 2013!! Shouldnt Prince write a song about that!?? No, not really, but Ill write a blog post about it. Its here folks.  No more its holiday season, I cant job search right now stuff. Its time.  January 2013.  Its a new year.  You think youll have a new career. If you are already happy in your job, take note of this blog post and reference it later if/when you lose your job (or choose to leave and look for greener pastures).  Here are my tips for job the current job seeker: Get your marketing docs done right, and out of the way. Back in the olden days (7 yrs ago when I was in transition) I probably wasted a solid month looking for and then recreating my (poor) resume.  The resume I created kept me out of interviews, even though my family and friends said it was awesome.  Stop joking around and get a resume professionally written.  (I know, I know, some of you want to DIY, and youll learn so much from doing it yourself.  Fine go through the exercise of doing it yourself.  That will be beneficial. But then have a resume writer critique it) Network. No, not (a) the networking you think you are good at, or (b) the networking you think you hate.  I learned what networking really was when I read Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi. Im talking about developing real, potentially long-term relationships with the right people.  Not everybody, and not anybody, but the right people.  Not exchange business cards or do lunch once, but long-term professional relationships.  This will be for immediate job search benefit as well as long-term career management.  And maybe even for your personal fulfillment. Use technology in ways you havent before. Job boards are lame, right? Actually, you can get a lot of value out of job boards (just dont play the game that gets you to curse the phrase resume black hole). As a job seeker (or career manager) you should become proficient with tools like job boards (competitive intelligence research), LinkedIn (finding and being found), JibberJobber (managing professional relationships and organizing a job search), and other tools (many of which Ive blogged about).  These arent just passive only when I need them tools they should become a part of your system/process/life.  Whether it is proactively look for someone and reach out to them, or passively (or methodically and more slowly) build your personal brand, technology is a key part of what you do from now on. Get on the phone and face-to-face. Tech is cool, but its also so easy that it replaces voice and face-to-face.  Dont hide from hard stuff (picking up the phone, going to network meetings) by doing posts and updates online.  Theres more to your career management than what tech will give you. You have probably heard this stuff before.  So whats new in 2013?  Everything, and nothing. It still comes down to how you communicate, where you communicate, what others know/think/say about you, how proactive you are, etc. Your body language, choice of dress, choice of words, passion, etc. Using tools, resources, coaches, thought leaders, mentors, etc. Its all the same as before. But for you, you need to do it better than ever before. Are you up for it? Job Search Like Its 2013!! Shouldnt Prince write a song about that!?? No, not really, but Ill write a blog post about it.

Top 6 Careers for Accounting Majors

Top 6 Careers for Accounting Majors Accounting is one of those educational fields, in which there will always be a need for that profession. As long as money is around, then there will be people who need help managing that money and therefore there will also be people that have expertise in financial management. Thus, the job of accountant. Being an accountant takes a special person. A person who is good with numbers, highly organized, calculating and has an ability to keep their attention focused on the most minute of details. Most people do not have these skills, and thus most people are not very good accountants. The other good news about the field of accounting  is that there is a variety of career opportunities that come with having a degree in Accounting, some of which pay more than others, and also some of which are growing at a much larger rate (and therefore much higher in demand) than other accounting-related professions.  [ALSO READ: Careers Interview With A Political Lobbyist] ?       Auditor auditing is one of the faster growing fields in accounting, and is very high in demand right now. Auditing is one of the entry-level positions that most accounting majors will find themselves in, especially if they are working towards a Certified Public Accounting certificate at a public accounting firm. ?       Financial Reporter This job is reserved for people who are working at a corporate accounting office, or some other kind of privately-owned endeavor. The major responsibility that comes with this job is to present financial analysis to your employer. ?       Management Reporter This job is somewhat similar to the financial reporter position, except that it deals primarily with senior management entities at publicly-owned companies or larger-sized public corporations. ?       Tax Accountant Nobody like the tax accountant, at least according to the billions of jokes that they are the butt of, but someone has to do it. Everyone likes to hate on the tax accountant, except when the tax season comes, and your tax accountant ends up saving you hundreds of dollars on your tax return. Then, and only then, will you truly appreciate the hard work that these individuals put in day in and day out. ?       Financial Planner Financial planning is one of the fastest growing and newest sectors of the accounting industry. The end goal of the financial planner is to help their clients make investments (both short-term and long-term,) which will keep the profits up well into the future. This is also one of the most competitive sectors of the accounting industry, so it takes a lot of hard work to get to this point, but once you make it- the salary itself will typically pay off all that hard work. ?       Government Accountant Most accounting jobs are for either large or small businesses, but in this case it is technically for neither. In this case, public duty is the focus of the accountant’s trade, and the comfort level of security and benefits are all reasons why accountants pursue a job as a government accountant.

Informational Interview Tips - VocationVillage

Informational Interview Tips - VocationVillage Career counselors are always telling clients to go talk to people about different career fields if the client is undecided about which career to choose, but some people say they feel stuck and fearful as soon as they consider how to actually follow this career advice. These specific informational interview tips will help make the process more clear about why it is helpful to talk to people about their careers and how to go about doing it. To start, the reason to conduct an informational interview is that no matter how much research you have done using online or print resources, there comes a point in career exploration where talking to people already in a career field is a better way to acquire valuable information. An informational interview is one of the ways to accomplish this.This type of conversation is a 15-30 minute, highly focused discussion in which you as the career seeker ask questions of someone employed in a field that you are interested in potentially pursuing. Facilitating these conversations can be an excellent method to learn more about career paths or companies you are considering for future employment. Insider information is very valuable in guiding good decision-making, and informational interviews are likely to contain more current information than resources published on earlier dates. A bonus to information gathering is that if you do a good job with the informational interview, you may form a co nnection with the interviewee that can be beneficial to both of you throughout your careers.Informational Interview Tips:    PreparationBefore you contact anyone to do an informational interview, you should do sufficient research that you appear to be a competent person who has done some homework before requesting the interviewees valuable time. At minimum, you should read about the career field using resources like the Occupational Outlook Handbook and material published by the main professional association in the career area under investigation. One caution is that even though the materials from the professional association are likely to be impressive and comprehensive, sometimes they will be overly rosy in how they describe the career because they are the public relations department for the profession.Informational Interview Tips:    Selecting IntervieweesAfter youve done some basic research, it is time to track down some people to interview. It has never been easier to find inte rviewees than it is today. First, ask everyone you know if they have any contacts in your desired career niche. If doing this doesnt result in a sufficient number of leads, you can hunt for contacts using LinkedIn, review the online contact information of the leaders of professional associations, locate faculty members of local colleges and universities who have expertise in specific career areas, search the online records of professional conferences for presenters or attendees, look up alumni from your college who are working in the targeted career area, search message boards of online professional forums, or read the business section of newspapers to see who has recently been hired or promoted at organizations of interest.Informational Interviewing Tips:    ConnectingI recommend sending a letter or email explaining what you want and then asking the prospective interviewee whether he/she would prefer to talk via telephone or communicate via email. This is respectful because it hono rs the interviewees communication preferences.Your letter would look something like this: Dear Ms. Smith: . First, mention the person who referred you if you have a connection in common. I am a financial manager at Make Money, Inc., and I am considering a career change into consumer product marketing. As the first step of a potential transition, I am gathering information that will guide my decision-making process. . I am not seeking a job from you, but I am interested in your opinions about your field and perspective on what skills and experiences I should be acquiring in order to potentially work some day at an organization such as Cool Co.I am sure you are very busy and if we could speak by phone for 10 minutes or communicate via email, I promise not to take advantage of your generosity.Thank you in advance,Your Name. Informational Interview Tips: Avoid The Ambush InterviewThank you to Phil Rosenberg at ReCareered for his career advice about why you should avoid an ambush interview situation. Phil makes the excellent points that you should not take your resume to an informational interview and you should not try to turn an informational interview into a job interview.As a hiring manager, I have been ambushed before. If I agree to an informational interview and the person pulls out their resume and starts grilling me about what job openings there are at my organization, I feel deceived and all the good will is drained from the room. Dont do this.Informational Interview Tips:    Questions To AskPlan to ask 4-8 questions only as it is too much to expect to ask someone to answer 25 questions! If you want to ask more than 4-8 questions total, divide up your questions among multiple interviewees. To get you started thinking about which questions to ask, here are some suggested informational interview qu estions.Informational Interview Tips:    Wrapping UpAfter the informational interview, verbally thank the interviewee and then follow up with a brief thank you letter or email. Tell the interviewee that you will keep in touch as you make career decisions and then find non-threatening ways to keep the communication going by contacting the person on an infrequent basis (not more than once every three months). For example, send the person an article on something of professional interest. If the hiring manager has requested your resume, this is the time to send it. This can be the start of a professional network that will serve you well for the remainder of your career.Additional Informational Interview TipsDont make career decisions based upon small sample sizes. Make sure to talk to enough people that you get a representative perspective rather than just the worldview of just one person.Keep track of the information you gain in some organized way. After the first interview or two, you ll be pleased that you took the time to set up a system to prevent all the information from blurring together.If there is a graceful way to work it into the conversation, briefly mention something memorable about your skills or experience. While you want to allow the interviewee to do most of the talking, it doesnt hurt to sell yourself a little, if done well.As Harvey Mackay would say, Dig your well before you are thirsty. Informational interviews are best conducted well in advance of the time when you actually want to land a job or change careers.Pay attention to how you feel about the members of a particular professional community. Do you share the same values? Would you enjoy spending a lot of your waking hours with these people?Finally, have fun! Enjoy building connections and look forward to the rewards of having a thriving professional network.

How to Take Care of Yourself When Out of Work [Top 3 Essentials]

How to Take Care of Yourself When Out of Work [Top 3 Essentials] When people lose their jobs they need to do three key things in order to maintain their health and well being. Some people don’t want to work but for others unemployment can be a difficult time and there is a lot of research which warns us of the dangers of people sinking into depression when unemployed. Following this recipe for taking care of yourself will have multiple benefits, if you are more cheerful you will interview better, maintain your momentum and have a list of positive things that you have done to talk about to prospective employers. So what are the things that you need to do to take of yourself? 1) Treat getting another job as a job By: Gish It is all very well and good to have a break but set yourself a date when you are going to start the serious business of getting work. Treat the task like a job of work. Create a space in which to work, keep records, set goals and allocate time in which to do it. Make yourself work at it. The main reason that people who are out of work don’t get another job is because they give up. Research shows that a lot of people, when they get a job rejection give up rather than carrying on applying. Perseverance is important. So set yourself goals and monitor your progress against them. Reward yourself if you meet them. 2) Get moving By: EvgeniyaMelone Not working is a very sedentary activity. In the space of a day in the office or workplace you probably walked several thousand paces. Going to the loo, to the coffee point, to the printer meant you got some exercise, never mind the process of going to and from work. At home if you are not working, you may find that you just don’t need to walk as far, you have access to more food, get up later and generally move less. So in order to prevent waist expansion you need to factor some exercise into your routine. As well as keeping the weight down â€" or even reducing it- exercise has other benefits. Aerobic exercise will generate serotonin â€" the happy hormone that keeps you feeling good. Meeting your fitness goals makes you recognise that you are accomplishing something, exercising will help you look better tooincreasing your self esteem. Some people will say I can’t afford a gym, but you don’t have to use a gym to walk, you don’t need special equipment to lift tins of beans or do step ups on the stairs. Look out for ‘green gyms’ or ‘trim trails’ in parks where both resistance and aerobic equipment are provided free and with the added benefit of fresh air. 3) Get doing One of the challenges of being without work is that people find that they start to feel that they are of no use or have no value. So the third essential thing you need to do is to something that increases your sense of self worth. This could be any one of a number of things: learn a new skill (libraries are still free at point of use), perfect a skill, do some good in the world. I don’t mean that you have to become a missionary and go to Africa to do voluntary work but practise ‘Random Acts of Kindness’. There is a lot of research that this makes people happier, giver and receiver. So find ways of pleasing others. That might mean visiting a relative or an old person in your community, walking someone’s dog, cutting a hedge, fetching a pint of milk, playing footie with the neighbour’s kids. You might want to try and raise money for charity or commit to more regular activity such as listening to reading at the local school (remember that lots of activities like this require C RB checks so it is not an activity you can take up immediately) Your acts of kindness do not have to be large or time consuming but they will help you to focus on others and give you some satisfaction and feeling of self worth. Take care not to create a dependency you won’t be unemployed for long! Do you have any other tips? Share them in the comments below!

How to Pick a Standard Resume Font

How to Pick a Standard Resume FontThe standard resume font is sans serif. You need to pick a font that is attractive and stands out in the crowd. Also, consider the design of your resume, as well as the size of the text. Once you have determined what looks best, you can go forward and get a template or custom resume for your specific needs.Typefaces are actually not all the same. There are several types of fonts, and some have unique characteristics. Therefore, you will want to be sure that you are getting the font that is most appropriate to your unique situation.When choosing a standard resume font, take a look at it carefully. It should be legible and readable. Choose one that is simple but elegant. A small-scale typeface is probably going to be easier to read for you. Consider where you will use the resume template, as well as the kind of position you will fill.You can also check the internet for sample resumes that have the right design. Also, consider talking to someone with ex perience in business who can provide you with tips on what is effective and appealing. Remember, while your resume is meant to show your accomplishments and abilities, not every employer will be able to tell the same story about you.Another consideration is how the resume format will look. Many people get tired of seeing the same basic template, and may choose to get one that is distinctive to their position. Be aware that even if you choose a well-designed template, it may not be the best fit for your business. Make sure that you consider your business when deciding on a font.Consider a resume that resembles a professional business card. This does not mean that it has to be fancy. Thereare, some different types of resumes that work very well. A generic, plain one works for some businesses, while others like a little pizzazz. Your resume is designed to speak directly to the future employer.Keep in mind that the standard resume font is going to stand out and be noticeable. It is esse ntial that it be easily seen and eye-catching. Many people get tired of reading through boring letters.The name of the business is usually at the top of the resume, followed by the title of the person who will be interviewing you. After that, you should write your objective, your education, your previous employment and your special skills, along with a few key accomplishments.

The Silent Question Theyre Asking When You Network - Hire Imaging

The Silent Question They’re Asking When You Network - Hire Imaging You’re actively on the hunt for a new job, and growing your network. You’ve been given a new lead, and have set up a coffee meeting with that person. Whether you’re talking by phone or meeting faced to face, people will be quick to size you up. And they’ll be thinking: “Are you a good person I can trust and would want to hire or refer to people I know? Do I like this person and want to help?  The underlying question is: “But can I trust you?” In reality â€" and in this age of constant information and connection “noise,” people are often skeptical of strangers, as well as those folks they haven’t heard from in years. One can’t blame people for being hesitant to talk in the first place â€" life is busy. Whether you’re talking by phone or in person, they’ll often be thinking, “Do I like this person and want to help?” “Does this person have sincere goals, or are they just using me?” There’s no science to building trust, but you can practice the art of affecting whether someone feels good about you. One of my favorite reads was The Likeability Factor, by Tim Sanders. He covers four aspects of likeability. Let’s look at them, and consider the question: How would you rate if we met for the first time? Friendliness Do you smile? Are you enthusiastic? Would I feel good upon meeting you? Would you want to spend time with you? My client, Clarke, told me of an initial networking meeting he had with Bob, someone he’d not met. Clarke was feeling blue and worn out. He told Bob that his job as a security guard was “boring and terrifying at the same time; that he had just witnessed a shooting the night before, and he was glad to get home some nights without being shot.” Hardly a good conversation with someone you’ve just met. And certainly not if you’re seeking their help. With coaching, he turned this around. His conversation now frames around, “I was one of the top-seniority security guards at a major corporate facility. I’m proud that they valued my service and competence. At this point in my life, I want to give back. I’m thinking of going into the lay ministry, and know that you are experienced in this field. I’d just love to find out more information from your perspective.” Now, Clarke had turned a depressing message  into an effective networking statement and question. Relevance How well would you and I connect to what I want or need? Would you share information that’s relevant to me and to our purpose in meeting? Sharing relevant information is important. Before a job interview, think through what the hiring manager needs and share information about your background that supports that. In preparing for networking meetings, think through what that person needs to know to be able to give you information or advice, to understand your background, and know that you’re a good guy or gal. Empathy Do you have a sense of what’s happening in my life, or what inspires me? Beforehand, think about potential objections an employer might have about hiring you; be ready to speak to them. Consider what could make them hesitant, such as your fit with their culture, your motivation to change, whether you’re committed when this job pays less. In a networking meeting, acknowledge the fact that the person’s time is valuable and that you appreciate their taking time to meet with you. Being real Do you come across as genuine? Or are you busy trying to impress me in some way? Don’t exaggerate your background by saying you’ve done things you haven’t; or say you know more about a topic than you really do. If you’re moving into a new career, show your enthusiasm and your humanness. “After years of being a stay-at-home mom  â€" which I loved â€" I’m so excited to put my accounting background back to use. I’m primed and ready!” People see through insincerity. Don’t schmooze them. For example, if you wish to meet with a network contact you have not touched base with in years, acknowledge your part in not keeping in touch. And if they agree to talk, make sure you keep the relationship going from that point on. I guarantee that if you ask people what made them hire one person or another; or meet with someone they didn’t know; their answer will typically frame around something hard to nail down. It was just the way they felt about you! I always love to hear from you! Please comment below.
