Is Your Tooth A Little Crooked (and other first impressions)

Is Your Tooth A Little Crooked (and other first impressions) Yesterday someone deleted their JibberJobber account and said that JibberJobber was really dated. I emailed the person back asking for more information, hoping that it wasnt because of the layout and colors (less than a year ago we redid the layout), but I knew it is impossible to please everyone. He said he only spend 15 minutes on JibberJobber, and found links to Monster and articles that were 5+ years old. I wondered what he was talking about, and where he saw a link recommending Monster.  As you know, Im not a big fan of job boards in a job search strategy.  On the Ask the Expert call this week Nick Corcodilos shared that Monster accounted for about 1.3% of jobs found, but companies spent more than $1B on it.  And Im sure job seekers spend way more than 1.3% of their time on Monster.  I only promote Monster as a place to do competitive intelligence research, not as a place to waste time getting sucked into the resume black hole. Where did he find a link promoting Monster?? Finally, we figured it out.  In the user-curated Library.  This is where JibberJobber users share links, books and articles that they have found useful in their job search.  Monster was at the top of the job board category, which is at the top of the Links page. And that was it.  This person, who has a decent title at a huge company, judged JibberJobber and said it is dated, because there is a link to Monster. Again, we cant please everyone.  Earlier that day I was on the weekly user webinar and I got a lot of very positive feedback about JibberJobber, the job search organizer. Look folks, Im not in the business of providing links to you to Monster and Craigs List.  I figure you are an adult and you can find all the links you want.  We put the library in for job seekers to share gems they find online.  When I was in my job search I think 90% of the advice articles where garbage.  But if I found a gem (heres one that is in the library: How to Write a Strong Value Proposition (by Jill Konrath)), I wanted to save it for me and share it with others. If you judge JibberJobber by what others put in there I cant really help you. This morning Ive spent time cleaning out the library.  That means deleting useless junk, and adding descriptions to good stuff. Heres why I am sharing this with you.  You will have people JUDGE you based on completely trivial, non-important,  irrelevant  things. Like what? When I was a hiring manager I judged on (Im not saying it was right to do this, but I think it is human nature.  If you think less of me, sorry.  But I guarantee others are judging you on the same, or similar): Hair style. The girl who had the biggest hair Ive seen in an interview her hair was such a distraction (and the thing I remembered most) that, well, she didnt get the job.  But she did make it into this blog post! Short skirts. I dont know if this girl thought a short skirt would be a benefit to her interview but the entire time my mind kept thinking one thing: SHE WONT FIT INTO THIS COMPANY CULTURE.  It was a conservative company, and her skirt was too short when she was standing (much less when she was sitting).  Do I remember her interview responses?  No, and that obviously didnt matter.  She didnt make the short-list. The suit. I remember interviewing a dozen university students for three internship positions.  ONE person wore a suit.  The rest didnt take the time to dress up enough.  What should have been normal (dressing up) really stood out and made a favorable impression. There are other things like choice of words, chewing gum and stuff Im sure they didnt think about when they were preparing for the interview. But they got JUDGED on those things. Heres the truth: I was looking for someone who would make me look awesome.  Someone who would do a great job, fit into the company culture, be fun to work with and have around, and not be an embarrassment (in other words, someone we didnt have to keep in a back room, away from the front desk where visitors might see him/her). As an interviewer, Im the JUDGE.  And a JUDGE makes JUDGEMENTS.  The judgement could be on your answer and how clever or experienced you are, but it usually cant get there until the other things (big hair, gum smacking, choice of language, clothes) are non-issues. Im kind of sad that one person decided not to use JibberJobber because the Library (a very, very minor part of JibberJobber I dont even show that on the user webinar!) had a link to Monster. But he was the judge. Be careful, my friends, to not let something in your appearance or brand or first impression be the monster that keeps you from going to the next step in the process.

Ruth B. Mott on How To Recover From Loss of a Dream Job - VocationVillage

Ruth B. Mott on How To Recover From Loss of a Dream Job - VocationVillage Ruth B. Mott responds to a music business professional who asks for career advice after losing his dream job.Dear Ex-Music Bizzer,It is a very hard thing to lose something you’ve loved for so long.   And it is a normal reaction to believe there is nothing else out there.  So I do understand how you feel.Having said that, I am offering my advice based on what I have told other clients who have faced similar situations.  Staying in the feelings of hurt and fear gets you nothing.  The first thing you have to do is get over it.  It’s done and now it’s time to move on â€" with a heavier heart to be sure â€" but moving on nonetheless.  Next, I know you said the music business, as you knew it has imploded.  But with your passion and experience you can start exploring other avenues that include music â€" even if it means you sell pianos!It may take a little time to find something that you can give your energy to that will use the two passions in your life â€" music and music sales of s ome sort.  Perhaps there is a radio show you could put together using the music you love and selling ads to support your show.  Maybe there is something you could do with the Hawaiian Music Awards show.  I certainly don’t claim to know what all the possibilities might be. But I do know that with your excellent track record, you have many contacts and would be an asset in any music, or even theatre, arenas. You will need to use those connections because someone, somewhere, knows of something that will be helpful to you.  Conceivably, there is the possibility of working remotely for a related music industry company from the mainland.  Perhaps there’s a distributor who would like a Hawaiian connection.It’s likely that none of this excites youthey are only ideas.  And let’s face itnothing is going to excite you after your last job â€" at least not right away.  However, I believe there is a lot for you to investigate and explore before you have to give it up entirely.  You will n eed to think creatively and strategically.I don’t t think you’re out of the “bizz” yet.Ruth B. Mott, Executive Coach, Mott Coaching. Read another guest opinion about how to recover from loss of a dream job.

The Rules That Its Okay to Break

The Rules That Its Okay to Break I never really felt like I fitted in at school. I labelled myself a ‘misfit’, and sometimes even a ‘failure’, because I didn’t comfortably fit into certain boxes or categories, and because breaking the rules sometimes made more sense than following someone else’s path.   But as I’ve grown up I found that being a rule-breaker and a misfit  have  served me  pretty well! I’ve never really been one to ‘go with the flow’. I always felt compelled to shake things up, to take the road less travelled, you know? And I believe a lot of entrepreneurs go through the same thing. I would never advocate being reckless, but I think it’s time we acknowledge that there is the power and value in strategically swimming against the tide. Breaking the “rules” (who wrote those, anyway?) is sometimes the most productive thing you can do for manifesting your vision.   Here, I decided to share the rules I broke and why  you  should think about breaking them too.  â€œNever work with friends or family”  I threw this one straight out of the window and here’s why…  What do you want from those who work with you in accomplishing your goals: loyalty, honest communication  andshared passions? You’ll be hard pressed to find someone better placed to provide these things than your nearest and dearest.  I’ve found that the candidness, dedication, and  the  shared passions I have with my closest crew of friends has made them ideal colleagues. They  get  me, they  get  what I’m trying to create, and when one of us succeeds we all succeed. When it comes to my music, I need to be comfortable enough to  expose  myself creatively, to be vulnerable. The trust I have with my friends make them the ideal people to help with my musical career.  And I couldn’t think of anyone better placed to collaborate with on  MPower  (our mental health  organisation) than my mom. We’re already on the same wavelength, cherish the time we spend together, and share the same vision for a compassionate and nondiscriminatory society. We were already a ‘team’, we just  formalised  it by working together!  â€œFollow the crowd, don’t fight the current trends”  When I had the idea for Svatantra, the public in India didn’t think very much of the microfinance industry. Microfinance means loaning small amounts of money at fair and affordable rates so rural women with little to spare can grow their businesses. But there were a lot of  organisations  around going by the name of ‘microfinance, who loaned money at extortionate rates. That tainted  the industry’s  reputation.  But I believed in the potential benefits of microfinance when it’s done RIGHT.  When it comes to any business, you’re playing the long game. Often, you  have to  plant the seed and then wait to see the fruits of your  labour. Five years on, Svatantra is thriving and so are many of the women who benefited from our approach to microfinance. Our customers speak for themselves, and their success is shifting the way people view microfinance.    â€Don’t  dream too big” I was obsessed with music ever since I was young. But even when I was at college, performing regularly and writing my own material, I was still scared to tell other people that this was what I wanted to do with my life. It’s so important to  realise  that life is short and  in order to  be happy we must do what we’re really passionate about. My dream is to be the first Indian artist to break into the commercial international music arena. Has it been done before? No. Does that mean its impossible? Certainly not! When I decided to set up Svatantra, I was just 17 and people told me I was dreaming. I was “too young”. What did I know? Who did I think I was?!  Sometimes this is a defensive mechanism other people put in place to protect you they want you to keep your goals small to cushion the blow should you fall short. That’s well intentioned, but only  you  know if you have the fortitude and inner resources to withstand failure or criticism. And whether you’re willing to take that risk anyway.  I set up my mental health initiative having looked at the at the suicide rate in India and all the stigma attached to mental health. The numbers were overwhelming, how was  I  going the turn the tide? But I didn’t feel like I had a choice but to try. What was I meant to do, stand and watch?  â€œTrust evidence over intuition” Whether youre contemplating leaving a relationship, starting a new business or venturing into a totally new career, trusting your intuition is  so  important.   Music was not a traditional path, it was not the natural progression expected of me. But it  felt  right, and it still feels right. I have overcome some hurdles, and I expect more on the journey, but I have no doubt that I am doing the right thing. People are beginning to respond  really positively  to my work, my last song went platinum in India and we had loads of radio plays and streams from around the world. It is an awesome feeling to see real numbers and downloads where I had previously only seen a vision of what  could  be. When you begin writing a song it can be intimidating, just you and a blank page. But amazing producers across the world stepped forward to work with me, from Atlanta to Oslo, and now I have four songs coming out  early  next year! “Work day and night. Your vision should completely consume you.” This is SUCH an outdated attitude! Work-life balance is so important to build something sustainable. It can be easy to ignore your own personal needs when youre trying to build a business or a career,  but more and more people are  recognising  that mental health is as important physical health if either of those are compromised your work output is going to suffer.   I volunteered on a student mental health helpline during my time at college in England and saw  first hand  the self-defeating results of putting yourself under so much pressure to perform it made  really talented  people completely crumble.  While focus, dedication and gritty hard work are important, you can’t be in the best position to reach your goals if you’re operating at 50%. Long term, balance is so much better than burning out.

The 5Ps of Marketing - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

The 5Ps of Marketing - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Marketing, by definition, is creating a positive environment for exchange. It could be exchange of goods and services. Yet, in todays economy, it also includes the exchange of human resources for financial resources. You as the product Viewing yourself as the product that you are marketing, might help you in wrapping your mind around the power and the necessity for personal branding. You could be transitioning to another position and look for positive exchange with a potential employer; it could be you as a referral partner looking for a positive exchange with someone who services the same target client that you do in a non-competitive industry; or it could be you developing the foundation of your expertise looking for advisers to your personal board. Lets look at your personal brand with you as the product. What are the 5Ps? Product: Whats your deliverable? How do you benefit people? What makes you so unique that if you were in a room with 250 of your competitors or colleagues that you would stand head and shoulders above the rest of them? What is your unique promise of value? And, how do you address the question that is on anyones mind that you are looking to exchange time or talent with whats in it for me (WIIFM)? As the product and professional at what you do, how you benefit people and who you are, it is your job to connect the dots for others so that they immediately know what you can do for them. Product development is key to an effective marketing strategy. A poor product that is positioned well will see a short success moment because the foundation is not congruent with what the product actually delivers. Price: When thinking of price, its not just salary, its the cost of doing business with you. Does it take tremendous time to connect with you? Are you accessible and in the geographic area? Are there things that a potential contact would have to overlook that would involve an investment of time and/or treasure on their part? Place: These days, place is more than being in the geographic area it is also timing. It also means do you have a presence where the people that you want to exchange with spend a majority of their time. Just like a store front that must research in depth this location, location, location question so must you. If youre looking for a position with a certain industry, where do the industry movers and shakers (in great quantity) spend time? Is it in a social service organization like Rotary? Or, are they at an industry based association? Research where to find them and be where they are so that you are fully immersed in the place that they feel comfortable associating with others. Promotion: Does the way you promote yourself honor your personal brand? If it doesnt feel right, it might work for someone else but it might not be a good fit for you. When someone else, just learning of you, experiences that disconnect caused by positioning thats not congruent with the product, they will tend to shy away from you and often advise others to do the same. Word of Mouth is the most powerful form of advertising. In fact, 92% of people, according to the Word of Mouth Marketing Association, make purchases because of a word of mouth recommendation. Yet, word of mouth is also a double-edge sword. Are you positively buzz-worthy? The fifth P is one that is new to the mix and I learned of it from @BPrickett during this past weeks #brandchat conversation on Twitter. The fifth P is Participation. Participation: No longer do brands see great success from merely blasting out promotional messages or broadcasts (which by definition is to cast out a large message to a broad audience) their benefits. Brands now require participation. According to Unilevers Chief Marketing Officer Simon Clift (in a recent Advertising Age article), Brands are now becoming conversation factors wherekey opinion formers discuss functional, emotional and social concerns. The conversation is no longer one way. He goes onto say that listening to consumers is more important than talking at them. Are you and your brand engaged in the conversation? There are numerous posts here on this blog alone that provide excellent practical tips on how to jump into the social conversation and how to engage others. Examine your five Ps to determine at what level you are now and then determine what are you going to do to get to the next level you want to be at? Someone once said that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing the same way and expect different results. What do you need to do to move forward?

Why Public Speaking Is Critical to Good Leadership (and How to Master It) CareerMetis.com

Why Public Speaking Is Critical to Good Leadership (and How to Master It) When I was at university, one of my lecturers was a man born to genius. He had won just about every award there was â€" and had medals strewn about his study like discarded tinsel. He was, in short, a very learned man. There was only one problem: the man was also a terrible communicator. For us students, the year turned into an increasingly brazen competition of creative excuses to give his class a miss.The reason for our truancy was simple. This powerful mind just couldn’t communicate his ideas. He was a great thinker, but a really lousy speaker. Those pristine ideas roaming the confines of his head came out like the garbled mumblings of a dunce when he took the lectern.evalThe lesson here â€" great minds are sometimes bad communicators â€" and that hurts their career, and reduces their effectiveness.Now let’s translate that to an organizational context. First, a pithy aphorism â€" an organization without leadership is a rudderless ship. It’s a packed car careening around the road. Everybody knows that. But now, let’s talk about organisations that have very clever leaders who can’t communicate. The result is much the same. There’s no point having great ideas if you can’t sell them.At a time when mentoring in leadership is becoming ever more important evalI’ve done over 150 events for some of the Middle East’s largest brands. And I’ve realised along the way that there’s no substitute for preparation. Know what separates a confident speaker from one who seems unsure? That’s right â€" preparation.Remember that confidence while speaking to crowds isn’t an innate skill. It’s not genetic. It doesn’t depend on where you were born, or how. It’s a science that’s learnt. And it’s built on preparation. If you know your message backwards, and have practiced different ways of delivering it, you’ll naturally appear confident.As a leader, the one thing you can do to boost your communication is to prepare your talking points. Find out wha t you want to say. And then practice the best way of saying it. If you know your message and have practiced how to deliver it, you’ll automatically come across as confident.2. Body languageYou’ll constantly hear talk about charismatic leaders, or charismatic speakers. And research shows that charisma is linked to success.evalTalk to any experienced speaker or reputed freelance MC and presenter, and they’ll tell you that charisma certainly helps with public speaking and leadership. For one, you’re given stronger support, both on stage and off. People tend to paint you in a positive light, and are more inclined to forgive mistakes when they like you.More importantly still for leaders, charisma helps to command attention, even from people whom you don’t yet know. Charisma â€" that elusive thing â€" encourages people to listen and respond.But like confidence, charisma isn’t something you’re necessarily born with. True, some people have an easier time being liked than other s. But charisma starts with body language and tiny positive behavioural tics. And these can certainly be worked on, and refined.Often, how we say something is as important as what we say. The messages coming from our body are as important as the words coming from our mouths. The trick is to ensure that your body language isn’t sabotaging your message.An example: people who practice open body language are seen as better speakers. They invite people in â€" by not crossing their arms while speaking, for instance. Or by using welcoming gestures. And by looking at people while speaking to them.All these bodily cues can have a distinct impact on a leader’s charisma quotient. The difference can be as simple as that of a firm clasp of the hand versus a limp handshake.3. Creating the connectionThis is a skill common to the most effective leaders and the best communicators. Good speakers know how to establish a connection with audiences. They know how to work the crowd, and get audiences interested in what they have to say.The easiest way to get people interested in you is to be interested in people. If you know their stories, understand their interests, and have an idea of their personalities, you can find common ground. Once that common ground is established, you’ve humanised yourself in your audience’s eyes. And from there, getting your message across is easy.Good speakers also deliberately elicit responses from their audiences â€"to make sure people are paying attention, and that the entire process isn’t just a monologue. Good communicators can ask their audience to raise their hands to take a snap poll, or ask questions. Both methods are good for breaking the monotony and getting audiences interested.evalGenuine connections build trust, which then creates loyalty. And from loyalty, a rock-solid commitment forms. This chain of positive reactions is created by a simple starting point â€" speaking well and communicating effectively.So what’s the bottom lin e here?Simply put, public speaking â€" or at the very least speaking effectively in public â€" is a major part of leadership. And the good news is it can be learnt. There are coaching or mentoring programmes that interested individuals can sign up for.A good programme will first break down the fundamentals of public speaking and then provide exercises to work each skill point.So if you’re interested in improving as a leader, learning to speak effectively and comfortably in public, and to large crowds, is definitely a skill you should invest in. It’s not terribly difficult, and it offers almost instant rewards as your teams respond better to your ideas.eval

4 Questions to Ask before Considering a Career Change

4 Questions to Ask before Considering a Career Change It happens to everyone at some point. Whether it is stress, fatigue, or just plain boredom the bottom line is that you feel unhappy at work. You may think a radical career change is in order, but please take a minute before jumping too quickly into action! Ask yourself these four following questions before you proceed. 1. Do you still enjoy what you do? Jobs are complex, and we all have to do things we don’t necessarily love as part of our job. However, focus on the primary purpose and function of your role. When your strengths and interests align closely with your chosen profession, then you are likely to be more satisfied. 2. Can you utilize your skills in a different industry? You may have specialized career training, but that does not mean you are limited to a certain field. If you are burned out from working in a highly stressful job, think about other industries in which you can apply your skills. 3. What is the impact of your work environment? Your company’s culture and disgruntled coworkers may have a harmful affect on your attitude and productivity. Stay focused on the work and don’t engage in the negative talk. If your workplace is a primary source of stress, it may be time to explore moving to a different department or company. 4. Is there room to advance in your current career? Perhaps you have been in the same role for many years and feel bored. Is there an opportunity for a promotion or expansion of responsibilities in your current role? Consider what new challenges you are ready to take on and schedule a conversation with your manager. A major career change  may seem like the only solution, but this is not a decision to be taken lightly.  Meeting with a mentor, peer or career coach can help you identify the source of your dissatisfaction and help you develop a strategy to move forward.
