Your job search is a story • Research online. Thoroughly • Work your connections • Nail the face-to-face interview • Be resourceful • Try multiple approaches • Never say no for someone else
Build your digital profile • Google yourself. What do you find? • Twitter, Facebook • LinkedIn profile • Google+ profile • About.me • Blog (when did you last post?) • Personal site (“about me” or portfolio)
Build your experience • Student media • Internships • Blog • Social media • Social Media News Challenge • Freelancing (stringer or one-shot) • Part-time jobs
Network • Connect digitally w/ people you admire • Especially on Twitter • #wjchat, #dfmchat, #muckedup etc. • Follow up (Twitter, email, handwritten) • Comment on blogs • IRL
Show, don’t tell • Hyperlink resumé (but make sure it reads well w/o links) • Don’t send hard copy by snail mail unless asked • Video as part of résumé • Pitch through social media • Use digital tools (Storify, Pinterest, timeline, map)
Do your reporting • What does the job require? • Who does similar work? What are their strengths? What are yours? • What strengths should you highlight? • What are you doing to address weaknesses? • Research people you interview with
Little things are big things • Customize your resumé • Spell the prospective boss’s name right • Take initiative (can you schedule your own interview?) • Include Twitter username on resumé
Interviews count, too • Prepare thoroughly • Listen effectively • Answer honestly • Ask tough questions • Don’t fake: “I don’t know” > BS • Follow up
Follow up • Thank interviewer(s): email, card, tweet • Elaborate on answers (send link to story you mentioned, etc.) • Send link(s) to notable new work • Handwritten note • Persistence is a job skill • Don’t overdo it

Preparing for Success in Your Job Hunt

  • 1. Preparing for success in your job hunt Steve Buttry LSU SPJ October 14, 2014 #lsuspj
  • 2. Read more • stevebuttry.wordpress.com (“career advice” category) • Check links in today’s blog post • slideshare.net/stevebuttry • @stevebuttry • stephenbuttry@gmail.com or stevebuttry@lsu.edu
  • 3.
  • 4. Your job search is a story • Research online. Thoroughly • Work your connections • Nail the face-to-face interview • Be resourceful • Try multiple approaches • Never say no for someone else
  • 5. Build your digital profile • Google yourself. What do you find? • Twitter, Facebook • LinkedIn profile • Google+ profile • About.me • Blog (when did you last post?) • Personal site (“about me” or portfolio)
  • 6. Build your experience • Student media • Internships • Blog • Social media • Social Media News Challenge • Freelancing (stringer or one-shot) • Part-time jobs
  • 7. Network • Connect digitally w/ people you admire • Especially on Twitter • #wjchat, #dfmchat, #muckedup etc. • Follow up (Twitter, email, handwritten) • Comment on blogs • IRL
  • 8.
  • 9. Show, don’t tell • Hyperlink resumé (but make sure it reads well w/o links) • Don’t send hard copy by snail mail unless asked • Video as part of résumé • Pitch through social media • Use digital tools (Storify, Pinterest, timeline, map)
  • 10. Do your reporting • What does the job require? • Who does similar work? What are their strengths? What are yours? • What strengths should you highlight? • What are you doing to address weaknesses? • Research people you interview with
  • 11. Little things are big things • Customize your resumé • Spell the prospective boss’s name right • Take initiative (can you schedule your own interview?) • Include Twitter username on resumé
  • 12. Interviews count, too • Prepare thoroughly • Listen effectively • Answer honestly • Ask tough questions • Don’t fake: “I don’t know” > BS • Follow up
  • 13. Follow up • Thank interviewer(s): email, card, tweet • Elaborate on answers (send link to story you mentioned, etc.) • Send link(s) to notable new work • Handwritten note • Persistence is a job skill • Don’t overdo it
