- INTRODUCTION CSI – who we are, what we do, etc, Kari’s background Today’s Agenda Review-- Brief overview of today’s market--Tools to prepare for the task (resume, skills assessments, etc)--Social Media / Networking-- QA Session with groupWIIFT? What’s in it for them (if they hire you)? The driving force behind your motivation is to convince the hiring authority about What’s In It For Them if they hire you. Help a company make money and save money and you are talking their language.
- What’s In It For Them? – KARI The Playing Field – After Graduation, everyone is on the same playing field Degree, Desire to work CompetitionNowadays, there are more qualified candidates than there are jobs. Here are some statistics for the career market today: 8.1% unemployment rate in our country – highest since 1983 $10,000 you want to make – can take up to 1 month to search Resume is reviewed – 15-20 seconds Interviews – first 10 minutes, hiring authority decides if they like you or notThe Future of Work What are companies looking for? (the main 7 things)$$ - Can you SAVE them $ or MAKE them $ and howExperience – So they don’t have to spend a lot of time getting you up to speedSelf-Management skills – Do you just “get by” or come in early, leave late, show dedicationPersistence – Do you keep at a problemPeople-Skills – Do you get along well with coworkers; can you deal with customers caringlyResponsibility- Do you “own up” when you make excellent mistakes? (those you learn from)Retention- Will You stay - Hiring and turn over cost $
- Preparation is Key - Review list of suggested considerations when preparing for your career search journey Touch on each briefly Go SLOW so you can go FAST
- KM Did a poll on LinkedIn with hiring authorities and asked what frustrates them the most when interviewing college grads for their first “professional” interview. They came back with lot’s of comments… the top tips from these managers were……. Go through list Don’t just tell a hiring authority that you are ORGANIZED – tell them how being organized can help make them or save them $ if they hire you!
- STATS – SOCIAL MEDIANOT A FAD – A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN THE WAY WE COMMUNICATE 30,000 different social media sites - LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter What happens in Vegas, stays on Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, Flickr, Digg, MySpace, Utube, etc. 70% of companies today are using LinkedIn as a tool for recruiting1 out of 8 couples married in the US last year met via Social Media If FB were a country based on # of profiles representing the population – it would be the world’s largest country (China, India, US, FB) 80% of Twitter usage is on Mobile devices – People update anywhere, anytime (Imagine what that means for poor service) UTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world Only 14% of consumers trust ads vs 78% who trust their peers Social Media has taken over PORN as the #1 web activity Years to reach 50 million people (TV – 13 years, Net – 4 years, Facebook – less than 9 months)
- KM
- Social Media: KM Introduction – NOT A FAD – a fundamental shift in the way we communicate StatsU know about these sites but, do you know how to use them to help your career search?Creative but Cautious:Don’t post anything you would not want your mother or your boss to seeBe unique – show your creative sideDo’s Professional brand (photo, documentation, interests, etc) Diversify – utilize each social media site for the purpose intended Demonstrate Integrity - You want to carry yourself as a true professional Join Groups (be selective – Beer vs Water) Maintain your profile and update with new certs or skills oftenDo Not:Put too much personal information on site – keep it professional Let Social Networking be your only activity OMG! U have 2 B professional when u rite notes 2 a company contact Bad mouth prior employers on your site/blog Forget others can see your “Friends” too
- Networking – Friendship “Chain letters” and spreading the word – the more eyes and ears working for you, the betterReview list of items above to help your advertising campaign
- I have worked with many clients over the years. This is one of my clients after I told him he would be going to a networking event. The top 5 fears include:Go through LIST A NOTE ABOUT HELP:Help in this context isn’t about selling your services. It is about finding ways that you can assist the people that you meet.Can you send them an article with useful information? Can you connect them with someone who can lend them a hand? Can you offer them a valuable recommendation? Skill or Will – what is your challenge?Skills – Easy part (books, articles, coaches, etc to help)Will – Your drive for success must trump any fear you haveNecessary (Exercise – must do for good long-term health)LIVE to Network or Network to Live? (most of us here)Networking does not have to be complicated – Let me show you something to illustrate my POINT – CLIP NEXT
- Simple Planning makes connecting Easier and more ComfortablePrepare “So, What Do You Do?” - We’ve all heard it but HOW DO WE ANSWER IT?Consider a 1-Line Tagline “I teach people how to Network Smart” is mine, what’s yours?Introductions are known as PITCHES but, I prefer to them as a friendly game of CATCH.It’s NOT - throwing ball hard to knock someone over – U can’t build a relationship with someone who doesn’t want 2 B around you…………………….But U R tossing conversation gently so it can be caught and thrown back to you. Keep the ball in play as you converse with your new contact back and forth. Goal is not to sell but to generate interest in who U R to hint @ value you can bring. (Connections happen through conversation)U never know where it can lead – why not strive to be engaging and see where it goes. It is still possible to make a great connection depending on your personality and the other person’s patience but why handicap yourself when you don’t have to?Important to prepare ahead of time – need a strong answers - Talking about yourself should be the easiest topic – wrong. Few people answer effectively. Some hate this Q because they do not want to be identified by their work while others can’t wait to be asked this Q so they can launch a 10 minute commercial about their latest product breakthrough complete with handouts. SOME FREEZE – I never know what to say.
