How To Become The Perfect Job Candidate

How To Become The Perfect Job Candidate Your resume may be excellent and you may have the necessary experience required for the position, but it is the person-to-person contact with recruiters that makes or breaks your chances of getting your desired position.You only have one chance to make the right impression. Here is what you can do to significantly improve your chances of a successful job interview, becoming a perfect candidate whom recruiters will never forget (and for the right reasons only!).Prepare Your MindsetYou can prepare for some commonly asked questions, such as “What can you tell me about yourself?” and “Where do you see yourself in a few years?” but keep in mind that every job interview is different. You will never be fully prepared for every question recruiters may possibly ask. It is more helpful to prepare your mindset. Think carefully about how to answer questions.When answering questions, you can’t afford to go off-topic and ramble. Your answers should be succinct and to the point. The more you ramble, the less likely you are to find your way back. You also risk giving away too much information.You should always feel free to ask for clarification if you don’t understand a question. Otherwise, you are in danger of completely missing out on what the interviewer was trying to find out.Always be honest and authentic â€" lying is likely to backfire on you and you are not expected to know everything.What are interviewers really looking for in an interview? They want to know more about you. If you just give clichéd answers to commonly asked questions, they won’t learn anything about the real you.This is why it helps to share examples when answering questions. Giving examples shows that you have dealt with similar situations in the past and your examples are more likely to make you memorable than anything else you say.It can hurt you not to ask any questions in an interview. It may be seen as a sign that you are not really invested in getting the job. Try to think about q uestions you could ask that will reveal your expertise to the interviewer. Asking generic questions simply reveals that you didn’t prepare properly or that you lack listening skills.Be Proactive and ResourcefulPreparing for a job interview takes more than merely skimming through the job description. After all, if you claim to be interested in a job, and yet you don’t know much about the role you’re applied for and less about the company, you will never be any recruiting team’s number one choice (if at all).Check These Resources for More Information About the Company:Virtually all companies today have websites where you can find information about their vision, mission, values, and culture. A great resource for finding out more about a company is Glassdoor. Information you will find includes history, employee reviews, salaries, interview questions, etc. Social media is another avenue to find information about a company. Become a follower on Twitter or Facebook to learn more ab out a company and how they relate to customers. Conducting a search on LinkedIn for employees can also offer a rich source of insights. You may even find the person who used to hold the position you’re applying for. You will get a feel for the corporate culture of the company and what it’s like to work there. Check your college alumni database to see if any fellow alums work or have worked at the company. They are more likely to respond to a request for answers to some questions.Gauge the Tone of the InterviewPay attention to the tone recruiters used to address you in correspondence, as well as the tone the organization uses for their online presence. If they are formal and professional, don’t try to be “the fun guy” (at least not until you test the waters).It is obviously a bad idea to go into a creative start-up dressed in an elegant three-piece suit, or wear a washed-out T-shirt and jeans for an interview at a corporate office.Everything about you, from the way you ente r a room to the way you shake hands, sends certain signals to the interviewer and can influence their attitude towards you. This is why it’s crucial to mind your attire and set the right tone from the start.Establish Rapport With the InterviewerMake sure you give yourself ample time to make it to the interview so you’re not flustered when you go in. If you’re calm, you will be ready to give your full attention to the interviewer without any distractions and pick up on cues that could help you to establish rapport.Instead of thinking about yourself, take time to ask yourself about what the interviewer is looking for and what the ideal candidate may look like in their eyes. See the interview as a dialogue instead of an interrogation and don’t put the interviewer on a pedestal as it can cause you to freeze up.Interviewers don’t want to waste their time speaking to boring candidates who are not prepared and don’t show respect. Work on being confident without coming off as se lf-centered. Nobody likes a narcissist who believes they’re a heaven-sent gift to the company they’re taking an interest in.Be Prepared to Sell YourselfA job interview is a situation where you’re ultimately asked to sell your experience and professional skills. To do that successfully, you will need more than a fancy resume and an expensive suit.You should be very straight about what you can do for the company and your expertise will be reflected in the smart questions you ask.You can’t think of the job interview as a passive experience where the interviewer asks you questions and if you answer well, you will get the job. Merely listing your capabilities is hardly likely to impress the interviewer. Think of the interview rather as a chance to have a conversation where you will be able to convey how your skills and experience will come into play to make a real contribution to the company.Demonstrate how you skillfully solved problems in the past by bringing up situations when it was up to you (or you willingly stepped in) to solve an issue, keep a difficult client cooperative, or manage a complex project and successfully complete it.Telling a fun or a relatable professional story about yourself can make an impression on the interviewer and help you to stand out from the other candidates.Follow Up After the InterviewDon’t overlook how important following up after an interview is. You can differentiate yourself from other candidates with the simple act of following up with a thank you email.ConclusionPreparing for a job interview is one of the crucial aspects of your job application process, and it’s essential to get it right. Although it’s undoubtedly going to take some time, it’s going to be very worth your while.Recruiters respect and reward candidates who are experienced, approachable, confident, and have done their “homework” well in advance. To command respect from others, you must first feel it for yourself. Stay true to yourself and yo ur values, and show appreciation for the opportunity you’ve been given.

Networking Is A Little Give and Take - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Networking Is A Little Give and Take - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career A secret of effective networking is to give at least as much as you take. If you only take, youll get a reputation for that, and in time people ill avoid you. If you give â€" especially if you give first, without knowing whether or not youll receive â€" people will be attracted to you. “An offer of reciprocity gets my attention,” says Alan Grafman, CEO of Modelwire. “It’s my personal secret to always ask the person I’m networking with, ‘How can I help you?’” Why not try this technique right now? Think of a couple of people that you know who might benefit from knowing each other. Call them up, and explain that you think so-and-so would be beneficial for him or her to meet. I recently wanted to use the professional services of an artist I know. I didn’t feel I could afford his top-drawer price, but I wanted his top-drawer work. So I explained that to him. I added, “I know you’re worth it, I just can’t afford it at this time.” Then I volunteered, “I know someone who could use your services. When we finish talking, I’ll call him and suggest that you two meet.” And I did. The second person then called and made an appointment with the artist to discuss some business. Later, the artist called me and said, “Thanks for the introduction. We’re meeting next week. And don’t worry about the price for your project, I’m going to give you what you need for a price you can afford.” The more you do to help someone else’s career, the more willing that person will be to help yours. You know the expression, “What goes around comes around.” In the high-tech world, what goes around comes around even faster. ___ Debra Benton is co-author of The Leadership Mind Switch (McGraw-Hill, 2017)

How To Tell If An Employer Is Truly Green

How To Tell If An Employer Is Truly Green When environmental issues first surfaced in the late 1970s and early 80s, many of us were perplexed at what to do about these problems. Fortunately, through the vigilance of certain agencies and charities, we now have a number of lifestyle options that allow us to live in a more ecologically-friendly manner. For a large percentage of people, being green is a central point to their lives these days. Alongside buying the right products, using the correct kind of transport and educating others around them, these individuals also want to work for green companies â€" so what are the best ways to tell if an employer is truly green? photo credit: Stéfan via photopin cc Affiliations Is your prospective employer linked with any green charities or organisations? There is a host of these agencies around the UK who help their members out with sustainable and ecologically-friendly business practices, such as the Green Business Network, who work with companies in Bedford, or the Energy Saving Trust. Some of these organisations provide their members with certifications and awards, based on target-driven performance, such as cutting down on their energy usage or recycling a percentage of their waste. You should always look to see if your prospective employer is a member of any such agencies, as this will demonstrate a high level or adherence to green issues. [ALSO READ:  Is This The Most Honest Video Showing What Happens To Your Printed CV?] Awards If a company or business is super environmentally-aware and a champion of sustainability within their sector, then they may receive a special award from the large number of committees within the UK, which include The Green Economy Awards, The Green Carpet Awards and the UK Green Energy Awards. You can be sure that if your prospective employer has one of these prestigious titles to their name, then theyre probably one of the best places in UK to work based on ecologically-friendly considerations. Corporate Reports Most companies now produce their own reports on their internal practices, ranging from photo credit: tychay via photopin cc performance and profit updates for their shareholders, through to documents on the impact of their procedures and practices on the environment for the benefit of people who live near a production plant or large-scale offices, which are often created to reassure residents that a business is not creating harmful emissions or waste products of any kind. Such reports, and many others like them, are usually in the public sphere and can easily be accessed â€" they may even be classed as sustainability reports or company responsibility reports. Do The Research Most information about companies and their procedures is available online. If companies have been given green awards, or are putting ecologically sound, sustainable practices into place, then they often like to shout about it, as studies have proven that all consumers are increasingly turning towards outlets and service providers that can show some green credentials. Before you go for a potential position with any employer, you should at least do a Google search on their name to see what comes up. If they do have any awards for ecologically friendly behaviour or sustainability, then why not check that these have a strong set of criteria behind them? Transport A green company will definitely be concerned with transport. Around a quarter of all the greenhouse gases produced annually in the UK come from the exhaust fumes of vehicles. One way in which we as a nation can cut down on our collective emissions is by using our cars less frequently. Many workers are now taking this matter into their own hands, and are choosing to ride bikes to work â€"   does your prospective employer respect cyclists by giving them all the necessary facilities, such as cycle shelters, showers and changing rooms, to facilitate travelling into work by cycle? Also, many companies are realising that car-pooling schemes can work for employees who have to make longer journeys to their place of employment, which can both save money and reduce exhaust emissions. You know that if a company offers such schemes, then they are taking responsibility for the wider impact of their business on the environment, which is a very good sign that they are concerned with green issues. Ask At Interview Too many people think that interviews are just a one-way process where a company is going to investigate what they have to offer. Dont forget that this is also in fact a chance for you to screen the company and make sure that they fit in with all your job requirements. When they ask you if you have any questions about the job or company, then this is your moment to find out how environmentally conscious they are. The chances are that if green issues are a major concern to the company, then the fact that youre also interested in sustainability will only be of benefit to your cause. If they object, then the chances are that they arent concerned by this important area, in which case you may not want to take a job with them anyway. Use Your Own Knowledge And Intuition If youre well up on your green issues and sustainability practices, then you should be able to tell when something is not quite right with a companys official line, or maybe youll smell a rat when they skip over certain areas of the business. Also as a general rule of thumb, if a situation sounds too good to be true, then it usually is, so if youre being told that a company operates in a 100% sustainable manner, then this should make more alarm bells ring than one who says that their business uses sustainable materials where-ever possible â€" for instance in around 80% of their products. If you dont think the company are being fully straight with you, then the chances are that theyre not. And Finally Of course, dont despair if you cant immediately find an employer who fits your green credentials. Remember that having standards is a good thing, and that you shouldnt compromise your own beliefs in any situation, as this is just a shortcut to unhappiness â€" its always hard to look yourself in the mirror if youve let things you truly care about go. Even though it can be difficult to find work in todays tough economic conditions, you should approach your job search with the right level of resilience and tenacity, and not stop until youve found something that suits both your financial needs and your green beliefs.   photo credit: Stéfan via photopin cc 0

Now on to the podcast… Download Link | iTunes|Stitcher Radio|Google Podcast| Podbean | TuneIn | Overcast [4:22] This week, Marc interviews Jon Warner, author of SLAM: Build your startup idea or early-stage business with the Startup Launch Assistance Map. Marc shares Jon’s bio and welcomes Jon to the Repurpose Your Career podcast. [5:20] Jon shares his purpose for writing SLAM. Jon had been using the Lean Business Model Canvas. He found it to be transformational for startups, but he started noticing a few issues people struggled within using it. Jon started annotating and making up ways of compensating for those issues. [5:56] Jon started keeping notes for himself about the issues and developing adjunct materials of his own. He saw he was re-engineering the process and wrote an article a couple of years ago about it. The article seemed to resonate. It became the idea for the SLAM model book. [6:29] The SLAM model gives startups an exploratory grid to help them navigate the typical risks that happen in startup life. [6:51] Jon answers how the SLAM model can apply to those over 50. The challenge in entrepreneurship is to ‘de-risk’ what you are doing, as much as possible. The risk is greater for those who are in the second half of life. Jon focuses on the healthcare realm. He is very interested in innovation and technology for older adults. [8:31] Marc refers to the podcast Episode 136 with Diane Mulcahy, author of The Gig Economy: The Complete Guide to Getting Better Work, Taking More Time Off, and Financing the Life You Want. Diane has a section in her book on how to de-risk. [9:00] Jon uses a real case study of 50-plus food truck owners to illustrate the SLAM model in his book. Jon teaches two models. The first is a validation process consisting of an eight-step pathway to think about scaling a startup or a side hustle. Validation is the most important process to see if you have the potential to execute your startup. [10:38] The second model is the execution template. Jon has an acronym for it: GRAND, starting with Goals. Putting the two models together gives you the GRAND SLAM and the success you want. [11:08] Both models are designed as exploration templates, giving people a framework to ask questions to which answers need to be discovered, ideally, in the eyes of the customer you are most focused on serving. [11:32] The SLAM process has eight steps. Step 1: Drill into the unmet need of the customer tribe, which Jon calls the ‘hair on fire tribe.’ Step one can take months or years to gather enough data to validate the need. Step 2: Identify the key team you need to solve the problem for that tribe of customers. [13:07] Step 3: Develop the Value Proposition to solve that problem for that tribe. These three steps are the ‘Product-Market Fit.’ Step 4: Corroborate that the hypotheses around the product and the market fit are accurate in the eyes of customers. Step 5: Determine that the market is large enough for you to achieve what you want to achieve. [13:57] Step 6: Develop a go-to-market strategy. Where does the tribe hang out and how do you reach them? Identify the channels carefully. Step 7: Monetization. What does the business model look like? What is the tribe willing to pay to solve that particular problem or pain point? [14:16] Step 8: Map the Business Ecosystem. Jon explains what this involves. [14:50] Marc emphasizes the importance of Step 1. Don’t make stuff up. Marc shares from his experiences developing curriculum in 40 countries. No matter who he thinks the audience is, he’s always wrong! [15:18] Jon Quotes Steve Blank that “No plan survives first contact with a customer.” You can’t just build it and expect that they will come. A small sample is a problem. The pain points of a few friends do not give enough credentials to start a business. Get valid feedback from real customers to see if you can scale a solution for them. [16:25] The SLAM model doesn’t distinguish between product or service businesses, or business size. It is going to be more useful at an earlier stage of a business. By the time a business has institutional capital, it is usually beyond this process. [17:16] The SLAM model is aimed at people who are ideating about a business idea, or have a side hustle going they want to scale, or have taken the first steps and are a few months into their business startup and have bootstrapped it. [17:58] Jon talks about the steps where he sees people make the biggest mistakes: assuming they know the unmet need they are solving, and getting into ‘product build’ too quickly. People like to start with the minimal viable product right out of the gate before they know if it solves the market pain points. [18:56] These mistakes may require either re-engineering the product, or throwing it away at a waste of time and money. [19:16] Marc asks about service-based businesses. Jon points out that service businesses can be very different from product businesses, and the intended scale is very important. The process of validating the business potential is the same, requiring answers to the same questions. [20:19] Jon specifies that customer discovery is a very separate activity from product research. Discovery is finding out from customers what keeps them up at night and what they are doing about it right now as a temporary solution, and listening hard to them. [21:11] Marc talks about a member of the online community building a service-based business helping small construction companies, and a bad assumption that he had. [21:43] Jon says a lot of books will give broad ideas for business you could start. Jon mentions businesses jumping onto Shopify as an ecommerce solution. Don’t look at general ideas. Dig in and find the tribe, pain point, and a unique solution you can provide. [22:55] An older entrepreneur will learn from the book SLAM that there is a pathway they can follow. They have a lot of world experience, but Jon notes that what they have done in the past doesn’t necessarily apply to what they want to do next. The book helps them deconstruct their bad assumptions and mental traps to avoid. [23:44] SLAM will encourage the older entrepreneur to test everything and assume nothing. Assumptions are the enemy of a successful startup if they’re not corroborated at scale. The book is an exploration grid. It helps individuals to tip their thinking upside-down. [24:25] Jon’s advice for the older entrepreneur: Spend as little money as possible from the beginning and engage deeply in research about the sector they’re thinking about. Avoid building a product. Go and talk to customers. It’s scary at first, but hugely valuable to talk to 25 or 30 members of the tribe you want to serve. Look for patterns. [25:40] Another tip is that the smaller you make your beachhead markets, the more likely you are to be successful. When you tailor your offering to a particular need, your chances of getting traction are better and you can dominate that sector quickly. Then look at adjunct sectors a step at a time, and scale slowly. [28:00] Marc shares a big mistake he sees. People either want to have a traditional business with employees or they want to do it all themselves. They forget about virtual assistants that you pay with 1099s. Marc talks about his background with IBM and Lucent Technologies. Those are not the models to follow. [29:03] Jon refers back to Step 2, the Key Team. This can be made of a co-founder or two and several virtual assistants, consultants, and advisors. Digitalization has helped us get a team that can be dispersed internationally. [31:04] Marc’s co-author is in Portugal and his book designer is in Ghana, while Marc is in Mexico. They talk to each other on Facebook. [31:18] Jon shares his book and contact information: SLAMProcess.com, Jon C. Warner on LinkedIn, JonCWarner on Twitter, and SLAMProcess on Facebook. [31:28] Marc thanks Jon for being in this episode of the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Marc hopes you enjoyed the episode. Marc brought Jon into the Career Pivot Membership Community group to discuss the entrepreneurial mindset. Marc may use that fascinating discussion in an upcoming episode. [31:50] The Career Pivot Membership Community is a platform to provide both inspiration and practical help in creating changes in our lives and careers. It continues to help the approximately 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project. [32:00] This is a community where everyone is there to help everyone else. They have been hovering at about 50 members for a while. Members are experiencing successes like going back to work, starting new businesses â€" even someone buying a franchise. Some leave the community when they’ve found success, while others stay. [32:23] Their legacy stays with the community as they have built an extensive library of forum entries and discussions. Marc will be publishing shortly testimonials of what they got from being part of this community. There are successes in just about every week. It’s all about perseverance and mutual help. [32:44] Marc is recruiting members for the next cohort. If you are interested in the endeavor and would like to be put on the waiting list, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. The members of the initial cohorts help set the direction of the endeavor. [33:06] This is a paid membership community with group coaching, mastermind groups, and special content. More importantly, it’s a community where you can seek help. Please go to CareerPivot.com/Community to learn more. [33:24] Marc invites you to connect with him on LinkedIn.com/in/mrmiller.
