The 10 Hour Job Search Seriously

The 10 Hour Job Search â€" Seriously I was listening to a teleseminar recently with Jack Chapman (salary negotiations expert) and Orville Pierson (of Lee Hecht Harrison), both legendary thought leaders in the job search space. Orville asked the listeners, all career coaches, resume writers, career counselors and related professionals, what the average amount of time a job seeker spends on a job search per week. I responded that I spent 60 hours a week in my job search, and Oville said, no, I dont want to know what Jason Alba spent, I want to know what the average job seeker spends in a job search. He finally responded with an answer supported by some study: The average job seeker spends 10 hours a week in a job search. 10 hours a week. WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY DOING??? (this question is not strong enough, but the words I wanted to use instead of HECK will surely get me some emails today, so I try to keep it family-friendly here) Are they trying to have a Tim Ferriss 4-hour work week job search?   What are they smoking??? If you are in a job search you should be spending 10 hours a week just in lunches and coffees! I know its discouraging, and hard, and you have to be creative, but seriously, if you arent spending at least 40 hours a week in a job search then you are dillusional.   Or you dont have bills to pay and you dont have a sense of urgency. I was at my laptop by 6am.   I could not sleep peacefully as an umemployed father of 4 (and a half).   I was anxious to get up and see what was in my inbox (usually nothing), and worked until around 6pm when I made myself pretend I was a competent dad and husband, and do some family stuff.   Then, back up at 6 again the next morning. Saturdays was probabaly a half-day, but it was a day I was on the computer. I confess I did all the wrong things in a job search, because I was too smart to get help.   So I did a lot of wheel spinning.   But I know stuff now (I think), and if I were to do it now, Id probably spend my time doing some of the following: Lunches and/or breakfasts and/or coffees every single day.   (10 hours a week) Network meetings weekly there were 3 or 4 for professionals in transition, and others for working professionals that I could have gone to. (10 hours a week) Computer time crafting cover letters and tweaking resumes for different job postings, checking emails, responding to emails, etc. (5 hours a week) LinkedIn Strategy searching for contacts and target companies, reaching out to them on or outside of LinkedIn (5 hours a week) Calling people, and networking my way into target companies This is time consuming, and takes guts to pick up the phone (even if its to contacts you know) but more effective than combing the job boards all day. (10 hours a week) Learning.   Make sure what you are doing is principle-based my job search wasnt, and thats why I was spinning wheels.   Read the Career Hub and blogs from real coaches and resume writers who are in the thick of it with their clients. (5 hours a week) Theres 45 hours right there. There are many other activities you can do I guarantee it.   If you think you can have a 10-hour-a-week job search, go for it. And for the other 30 hours a week, figure out 3 more 10-hour-a-week job search strategies and implement those. I cant believe people can justify a 10 hour a week job search, can you?

What a Job Interview and a Date Have in Common - Classy Career Girl

What a Job Interview and a Date Have in Common Bringing romance into the workplace is generally not a good idea. Bringing it into the interview process is a recipe for a lawsuit. But when you think about it, dating and interviewing have a lot in common. Both require selecting the perfect outfit, flossing, avoiding awkward silences, and answering a lot of questions about yourself. You’re as likely to be catfished by a glamorous-sounding job spec as a modelesque Tinder profile, and recruiters perfected ghosting long before Charlize Theron made it the break-up method du jour. So, if you’re finding that the course of job hunting isnt running so smoothly, you may have more luck applying some love lessons to your interviewing technique. After all, our jobs take up a lot of our time and energy. Your future happiness depends on making sure that your next role is The One. The Perfect Job Interview Technique? Pretend Its a Date. 1. Focus on Finding a Good Match No matter how desperate you think you are, being single is better than being in a bad relationship. Similarly, never settle for a job that will make you miserable. Despite the assumed wisdom that a CV gap risks leaving you permanently on the shelf, it’s worth staying unemployed a little bit longer in order to take the time to find a role that suits you and makes you happy. Of course, holding out for the right job is not the same as demanding a perfect one. Just like people, all jobs will have some flaws and elements you dislike. The trick is to simply find something (and someone) that makes you more happy than unhappy. It’s also important to be realistic in your job expectations. You’ve probably accepted that you’re not going to marry Tim Hiddleston, so you should also accept that you’re not going to walk into a C-Suite executive role straight out of school. 2. Don’t Pretend to Be Someone You’re Not Being on a date with someone we really like is awesome. But sometimes, in our desperation to impress them, we find ourselves telling little white lies to make us sound better or more suited to them than we really are. Perhaps they love soccer, so you say you do too, even though you couldn’t pick David Beckham out of a lineup. Or you tell them about the time you were on Wheel of Fortune, neglecting to mention you were an audience member, not a participant. We do this sort of truth-massaging in job interviews too, and in both cases, it’s a bad idea. Even if our exaggerations get us the job or relationship, we cant keep up the act forever, and the truth will soon come out. In some instances, their disappointment at our real self could be enough to get us unceremoniously dumped. More often, it means we end up in a situation we’re not actually comfortable in. The best way to ensure that you get a job you are well-suited for is to just be yourself. Someone will want you for exactly who you are. Promise. 3. Learn from Past Experience Crazy bosses are like crazy exes: an amusing pub story, but not something you ever want a repeat of. So, if you’re interviewing for a job that is exhibiting warning signs of those same characteristics you hated about your old employment, take the hint and run for the hills. The point of experience, whether romantic or professional, is that it equips you with the information you need to make better choices going forward. Once you’ve had a couple of jobs, you should be aware of which habits work for you and which don’t. Use this knowledge to filter which jobs you apply for and which you ultimately accept. If you hate a work-hard-work-hard culture, seek out positions that emphasize a strong work-life balance. If you need flex time to avoid a three-hour rush-hour commute, make that a deciding factor when considering an offer. [RELATED: 9 Red Flags  To Consider When Accepting a Job Offer] 4. Make Sure You’re on The Same Page A relationship where one party just wants something casual and the other wants to get married and start a family is never going to end well. The same holds true for candidates and companies. Before you go into an interview, think about your career goals and how you’d want this job to help you achieve them. Are you looking for a company you can advance quickly in? Or are you after a low-responsibility role that will allow you to prioritize other aspects of your life, such a side projects or childcare? It doesn’t matter which work style you want, but it does matter that you choose a company that wants the same things you do. The best way to ensure this is to ask detailed questions in the interview about company expectations, practices and culture. Specifically, find out what they think a great worker looks like, and be honest with yourself about whether you fit that bill or not. 5. Have a List of Deal Breakers Fill in the blank: “I would never date someone who…” We all have relationship deal breakers, and we should all have professional deal breakers too. Figuring out what those are ahead of accepting a job helps us ensure that we won’t find ourselves stuck in a role which makes us miserable or offends our ethical code. Before an interview, make a list of your deal breakers, alongside questions you could ask to figure out whether the company would trigger them. So, if you cannot stand micromanaging supervisors, you could ask your boss-to-be to describe her management style and listen carefully for clues that she wouldn’t be as hands-off as you’d like. Remember it’s easier to turn down a job offer than to quit a job, so if a deal breaker is mentioned, take it as a sign that this one just isn’t meant to be. After all, there are plenty more fish in the sea!

The Perfect Guide to Buying Her Flowers

The Perfect Guide to Buying Her Flowers There is a mistake you might be making without knowing and your lady has been putting up with it. Do you buy her the same floral arrangement all the time? If you do, she might be appreciating the affection and putting up with the monopoly just because you are a man. So, why not surprise her from today with the most amazing bouquets and make her explode with joy every time you present the flowers? Here is the perfect guide to help you achieve it. Avoid the Reds If you didn’t know, there are more rose colors than just the white and red! Red roses might fit perfectly into most occasions, but, they only cost you more money and are very likely to bore your woman. Throw in the varieties. I mean, go for more colors and flower types. Tulips are amazing as they come in different colors and are cost-friendly. If this is too hard for you, I can help you. There are these florists called Flowers For Everyone. They have an online store where you can get the best selection of flowers for all occasions. What’s more: they can help with setting up unique arrangements delivered in your preferred container and style. Check out their range of gorgeous flowers and amazing offers. Ditch the box Fellow men, gone are the days when you had to send the flowers in a box and let your lady cut them out herself. To some extent, it takes away the romance. What to do: get a perfect florist who has lots of flowers and floral designs and who can deliver them in a vase. This will make you appear unique, and it impresses your woman a lot more! Plan in advance You do not want to be the man that sends the leftover flowers from the florist to your partner. See Catherine Hooper and her saga for example. That would be outright embarrassing and might backfire in the worst way. As you would expect, during the ‘flower’ days, the florists sell everything out. Therefore, visit them and book your arrangement early. They can keep them fresh for you. In this case, you will be relaxed knowing your day will run smoothly. If you have doubts, ask your florist Do you just buy a bouquet because you have to get your girlfriend something? It is not like you would be happy if she just went to a gift shop and bought you the first thing she lay her eyes on for you. Talk to your florist about the occasion and ask for their guidance. Unlike you, they have years of experience in the field and know what is best for her. They are amazing in bringing out the emotions using flowers. In fact, if possible, always let them guide you! Be genuine Finally, when you send the flowers, go the extra mile of attaching a card to them. When I talk of a card, I don’t mean that you just buy one that reads, “I love you.” I mean, get a pen or have a sweet, personalized message written for your lady. Be authentic and genuine, as girls love personal messages more than they do purchased cards. Nothing works better than this combination. With these tips in place, you expect nothing but the best appreciation from your woman when you meet. Be ready to experience the reaction of making a woman feel like a million stars! Image Source

On the Job by Anita Bruzzese Arrogance It Will Bite You On the Ass Eventually

On the Job by Anita Bruzzese Arrogance It Will Bite You On the Ass Eventually I started thinking a lot about arrogance this weekend when I attended my oldest son's high school graduation. I mean, let's be honest here: Who is more arrogant than a freshly-minted, 18-year-old kid with a diploma in hand?And, that's how it should be. Everyone should have a period in their lives when they believe the world is their oyster. They should enjoy those moments when they just know they're the smartest, coolest thing on the planet and the rest of us are utter fools.But then life will smack them around a bit, like it does everyone. (I got the headline for this post from a poster showing a bunch of college kids dazed with disbelief as their top team got beaten by somebody who wasn't supposed to be able to do it.)Still, these young people will pick themselves up and realize they still have a lot of work to do, just as most of us have done. In the end, they will emerge as better human beings with a lot to offer. They will have gotten the message that arrogance serves no real pu rpose because it's not based on reality.Or, is it? Is it now a part of our society, along with the 24/7 coverage of every Paris Hilton burp or every word spoken by a presidential candidate two years before the election?Some people still worry that they come across as arrogant when they are told to promote themselves through things like blogging, or e-mails that update others on their career accomplishments. But isn't that kind of information a sign of someone's hard work? Do we begrudge others their accolades for working hard?Or, do we dislike arrogance because it shows that the person wants to take a short-cut? Is arrogance becoming more acceptable in the workplace and in life?del.icio.us

When and How to Use a Headhunter - CareerAlley

When and How to Use a Headhunter - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath. Michael Caine When and how to use a headhunter are common questions and good ones to ask early in your career. Before we can talk about when and how to use a headhunter, it is important to understand what are headhunters and the different types that exist What are headhunters? Headhunters (aka recruiters) are independent recruiting professionals that contract with companies to help them source, screen, and hire good candidates. Headhunters work for the company and NOT you, as they are paid by the company. This is not obvious to many. One senior recruiter friend told me that he had this one MBA candidate come in and basically started grilling him about what he will do for her in the next week and what is his plan in finding her a job. This is not a good way to make a first impression about your business sense with a recruiter. Two general type of headhunters Contingency headhunters are opportunists and are paid ONLY when a hire is made by the company AND they found the candidate hired; Retainer headhunters are trusted recruiting advisers to a company and usually have a longer term contract with a company or department. They are paid a regular fee every year to act as the companys outsourced recruiting department. A retained headhunter can be paid even if no hire happens. These types are not mutually exclusive. The same headhunting firm can be a retained one for one company and a contingent one for another company. It all depends on the level of relationship they built. When to Use a Headhunter Companies use independent headhunter/recruiters for all level of job openings (entry to CXO). However, the best time to start proactively using a headhunter is when your salary hits above $100K. If you are looking for work under $100K a year, investing time to build a relationship with a headhunter is a waste of time. Most recruiters wont be that interested in spending time with you to build a relationship as 1) the potential revenue from getting you hired is minimal; 2) There are many candidates like you out there. and 3) hiring at a level under $100k is usually on a contingency basis. With that said, headhunters will still reach out to you when they think you may be a fit for a job opening. You should be courteous and professional to any recruiter that reach out to you for job opportunities. Otherwise, you can be blacklisted. How to Use a Headhunter (for jobs with salary $100K) Build key relationships BEFORE you are looking for a job Best time to network with headhunters is when you are NOT desperate for a job. Look out for headhunters from prestigious firms that fill jobs at your level or one or two levels above. A headhunter will not be interested in talking to you if you are just a manager and he only fills CXO jobs. Target only a few headhunters to build relationship. You dont have a lot of time either so choose influential ones that you think can help you down the road. One of the best ways to build relationships with headhunters is refer good candidates to them when you are not the right fit or you are not interested. Be courteous and professional with all headhunters Many will reach out to you when you start progressing above $100K, even when you are not looking for work. Respond to them, save emails of ones you may want to reach out to later when you are looking. Generally rule is dont ever be an ass or you could get blacklisted Reach out to Headhunters when you are looking Send individual emails instead a mass one. Be as specific as possible about what you are looking for and your qualifications. Ask to see what opportunities they may have or other headhunters they would refer if they dont have anything that might fit. Use only good headhunters not all headhunters are created equal. Some are just running a numbers game submit a lot of candidates at a job opening and hope one sticks. Many contingency headhunters operate like this. They send generic emails, dont really understand what the company is looking for in a job opening and will NOT represent you well to the company. Avoid these like the plague. Be clear about what companies you plan to apply directly Companies often post jobs online as well as use headhunters to fill positions. If you already know people at a company or plan to apply directly, make sure you specify that to headhunters you email. Otherwise, the headhunter may submit your resume first to the same company/position you already plan to apply to. This can put you at a disadvantage 1) for interviews as the headhunter will submit a set of candidates and may not emphasize yours the way a friend would. 2) during salary negotiations as the company needs to also taken into account the fee to be paid to the headhunter that found you. Dont work exclusively with any headhunter The more senior you are, the more a headhunter would love to work with your exclusively. Never do this as no headhunting firm has access to all great job openings. Continue to use all avenues for job search Using headhunters is just one channel and may not always work. Continue to network, network, network, look on your own, post your resume, update your linkedin, etc The recruiting industry is very fragmented with many players of different skill sets.
