Cool New Features

Cool New Features Weve been working on lots of new features that youve been asking for heres a rundown of what should be released today (youll know its released when you see the Search Jobs option under Jobs keep reading for more info) Update: The release was issued at 7:15pm MST: Add multiple e-mail address and phone numbers for contacts In preparation for the Outlook integration (we hit a delay on that project by the way, so it will be a while before it comes out) we had to make the user experience more inline with how Outlook works. Which is great because many of you have been asking for the ability to add more phone numbers and e-mail addresses to your contacts. Now you can! (there is a new csv download so premium users can import contacts with multiple phone and e-mail records Ill post on it later but here it is for now) See the box that says personal hotmail? That is something that you define you name the e-mail address whatever you want. Same thing with the phone numbers in this example I call it Personal Long Distance but you can call it whatever you want. Job Search DelightI recently talked about using BounceBase to keep tabs on blogs and news and now weve integrated the Bounce technology into JibberJobber which gives you amazing job search capability. Two things I want to point out: You can search over multiple boards at once. While this is similiar to using an aggregator like SimplyHired or Indeed, this includes a lot more. Im not going to claim that we have the most job results like everyone else does, but Im sure youll be pleased to see the results. Bounce doesnt just aggregate job boards, it aggregates aggregators. As with the saved job feed results, when you view these results you can add them to a job tracking record with one click. Heres how it works: From the Jobs menu, click on Search Jobs.Note that mousing over the main menu items will usually show a drop down of additional menu items. So just mouse over Jobs to see the image on the left. Youll see this input form on the left. Notice that all of the sources are checked feel free to uncheck whatever you want.You can see that searching across all of these sources should give you great results! The results show up on the right the Create a new job based on this info link will add this as a job record.How cool is that! You can also save these searches for later so you dont have to put the same criteria in every time. Other Stuff If you have tried to edit a log entry before it may have seemed weird. Well, it was. Its all fixed now and editing a log entry is as powerful as it should be. Thanks to Dan Johnson for the nudge! We added a no ranking on the rankings throughout the system (on contacts, companies, jobs, etc.). Before, if you ranked someone between 1 and 5 stars you could not UNRANK them. Thanks to Tige in Washington D.C. for the suggestion! Tige also submitted a few contact importing issues that we hadnt caught, and are now resolved (had to do with formatting as well as other stuff that you probably arent interested in). On the detail page we show you the referred by person that is, the person that introduced you to this contact. Before it wasnt a link now it is. Super-easy to implement for us but it should make using JibberJobber more streamlined with how it should be. Somewhere in our releases we accidentally took a page away (sorry, and thanks to Oleg in Ohio for nudging us on this one also) this mostly affects premium users as its one of the coolest premium features there is (imho). Now, when you click on Interview Prep youll see the interview prep dashboard, on the bottom right is the page to print of the interview stuff by category. This is very powerful as it allows you to prepare for two different interviews and have printouts of each one (without getting mixed up on what response is for big healthcare and which is for small high-tech startup). This was actually released a while ago but I didnt tell anyone. HUGE thanks to YOU for letting me know what enhancements JibberJobber needs, and to my team of development and QA ninjas for their excellent work.

Writing a Resume When Reentering the Workforce

Writing a Resume When Reentering the WorkforceMany people are unaware of the fact that writing a resume when reentering the workforce can be the most difficult task. Most employers seem to have an agenda to ensure they employ someone with good skills and credentials; even though many employees leave a career because they were not successful in the first place. In addition, current employees are less likely to want to apply for a new job than applicants who have recently left.Yet all these things can be overcome by carrying out some research before you even start your resume writing job interview. Before you actually begin writing your resume it is important to understand what a resume is for. You may not understand this, but it is an opportunity to let others know about your skills and qualifications; to highlight the abilities you have that may be able to help the company you are applying for.If you start the writing process without understanding what a resume is meant to do, then y ou might find that your resume just sounds like a bunch of bluster. The resume is a way to share information about the type of work you did, the responsibilities you had, and the reasons why the employer may need to hire you. Writing a resume that is wrong for the kind of work you do is probably not the best approach.The purpose of a resume is to get the conversation started. When a resume is not appropriate for the type of work you did in the past, you will be placed on the appropriate side of the table. If it does not mention your skill set adequately, then you will have a hard time getting the conversation started. This is all part of the competition for employment in today's labour market.A typical resume that was designed with the idea of making a good impression should be organized and concise. It should not be long and it should not be difficult to read. The same applies to writing a resume when reentering the workforce. You may feel that you can get away with a longer resume if the company you are applying for needs information, but this may not be true.A candidate who is looking to secure employment with an organisation that requires extensive information and perhaps references or even a portfolio of previous employment experience may find that a long resume is the way to go. The more information you include, the better off you will be. If you do not feel comfortable with a long resume then it may be a good idea to consider an outline format that is also very helpful when writing a resume when reentering the workforce.It is no secret that employers want to see examples of previous employment experience and achievements, and this is where the outline format comes in handy. This is particularly important if you have been working for someone else before you have joined them. Employers will be interested in knowing what you have done with that previous experience and how you have used it for the benefit of your new employer.So next time you are facing a r esume writing challenge, do not worry if it seems complex. The ideal format will be tailored to your particular situation, and you will find that it will help you to express yourself clearly and concisely. If you follow these rules, you will get a successful resume write-up.

How to turn an interview into a job

How to turn an interview into a job Hiring managers dont hire the most qualified person. They hire the person they want to work with the most. Whether this is fair is not up for discussion, because the philosophical and de facto practices of corporate hiring arent going to change any time soon. However, we can discuss how to get hired when being qualified is a small factor in the decision. Too many people have had slews of interviews with no offers. To be sure, you need to work at getting interviews, but you also need to work hard at turning an interview into a job. The skills to turn an interview into a job have little to do with having the skills to do the job. People use resumes and phone screens to make sure someone has the skills to do the job. When you get to the interview, its usually about other things such as the unquantifiable but all-important likeability factor. Here are six steps between landing the interview and actually doing it that will help you get an offer. 1. Research the company. Comb through every section of the companys site and memorize it as if you were cramming for a test. Unlike a test, though, you wont have a chance to spout the six facts you learned about the company during the interview. Rather, there will be a random, fleeting second when a relevant fact you gained from the site will be the perfect answer to something the interviewer says. To find the right comment for that fleeting moment, youll need wide knowledge and good judgment. The overall goal is to seem as though you are intimately aquainted with their area of business and you monitor the company independently of your desperate need for a job. Favorite places to do reasearch about companies: TechCrunch (for startups), TechDirt (gossip for intellectuals), Fortune (to know what everyone else knows). 2. Get the right outfit. Corporate America has a uniform; wear it. People like to hire people who look like them, and clothing is the easiest way to make this impression. An interview is not the time to dress to express your true self. In fact, no one needs to know your true self at the office. You will fit in and work best with others by keeping eccentricities to a minimum. Each company has a variation on the uniform, so loiter near the office ahead of time and spy on its workers to get a sense of the corporate dress code. 3. Prepare stock answers. Most interview questions are standard, and surprisingly enough, have standard answers. Take the question, Why did you want to leave your current job? The correct answer incorporates phrases like, I am looking for a company like this one, and Your company offers a unique opportunity that is a perfect fit for me. Learn these answers before the interview and be prepared to deliver them with a special flair, so they dont seem rehearsed. There are three or four good books that list interview questions and how you should answer them. The one I have used successfully is, The Complete QA Job Interview Book, by Jeffrey B. Allen. Also, Perri Capell points out that your answers should always be on message speaking to most important points you want to make about yourself. 4. Go to the gym. Taking charge of the first 15 seconds of an interview is critical. An interviewer will judge you first and most significantly on non-verbal cues, and having a great interview outfit alone may not be enough to make the best impression. This is because thin, good-looking people are more likely to get hired than overweight, less attractive people. If you have scheduled the interview already, its probably too late to drop forty pounds. But go to the gym anyway. By using your chest and back muscles to life weights, youll stand up straighter in the interview which shows poise and self-confidence. Also take a ride on the treadmill. The more energy you expend now the more relaxed youll be at the interview, and being calm will help you seem more confident. 5. Prepare to close the deal. Leave nothing open-ended when you walk out of the interview. This means saying at the end, I would really like this job. Do you have any reservations about hiring me? This is scary to say because the interviewer might have reservations you cant overcome. But closers get the contracts, and you need to be a closer in interviews. Risk hearing any reservations about hiring you because its better to confront them and fail than to never try. You have nothing to lose. When I tried this, the hiring manager told me her reservations (which were large). After I countered them one by one, she was so impressed that she offered me a job on the spot. But I also had done my homework. I knew what I wanted from a job and what were dealbreakers. And I had prepared extensively for the interview. Which leads me to my last point. 6. Practice, practice, practice. Maybe your friends will be helpful in a mock interview situation. Even if your friend does a terrible job pretending to be an interviewer, you get practice interviewing with someone who doesnt know how to do their job. You can bet, though, that someone in the career counseling office of your college knows what they are doing in this regard. Career centers are evaluated based on the career success of their graduates, so most centers are happy to field your phone calls, no matter how long ago you graduated. Ask someone there to do a mock interview with you. The feedback you get will probably be very useful.

Can You Spare 40 Minutes to Learn a New Trick - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Can You Spare 40 Minutes to Learn a New Trick - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career They say an old dog cannot learn a new trick. I think that is categorically false. If you really want to do something, youll find a way. If you dont, youll find an excuse. 5 years or 20 hours? Would you be willing to spend 20 hours to acquire a new skill? Thats only about 40 minutes a day for a month. Compared with the 10,000 hours to master a skill this seems like a reasonable trade off. Are you going to be a master carpenter, fluent in a language or capable of engineering a skyscraper with 20 hours of intensive study? Of course not! Thats not the point. The point is If you want to learn a skill. To really LEARN a skill you can get the basics down in 20 hours. If all you want to do is understand a process or problem set this might be all you need. If this is an exploratory profession or line of thinking you have only committed about 1 month to the effort. If you find this to be something you are passionate about you will get to the 10,000 hour point. (probably in a lot less than 5 years too) 20 Hours for a new Skill This seems like a pretty easy and workable timeframe, right? It definitely beats the 10,000 hours espoused by Malcolm Gladwell in  his book Outliers: The Story of Success which was based on research by several other researchers in a few different fields. What does it take to make it happen? There is a simple Four Step Process that Josh Kaufman created. He is the  author of The First 20 Hours. Deconstruct the skill Self-correct Remove barriers to learning Practice at least 20 hours The First 20 minutes of your Forty Minutes is to watch this video …  Learn Anything in 20 Hours with This Four Step Method There you have it. Will you commit 20 hours? Thats only about 40 minutes a day for a month. Can you turn off all your distractions and really focus? I think it is quite possible and I know it works. Long before I had ever heard of this model for learning I needed to learn a programming language. We had just had our first baby and I didnt have a lot of free time. So, from midnight until 1 am for about 3 weeks I committed my time to learn it. Guess what? It worked. What will you learn? What have you been thinking about, but not committed to yet? Will you make a commitment now and put it in play? For me I want to learn conversational Spanish. I’ll commit right here and now to put in 40 minutes for a month. What do you want to do?

Entrepreneurial Sacrifices You Need To Accept

Entrepreneurial Sacrifices You Need To Accept The first few days, weeks and maybe even months of entrepreneurship are more exciting than anything else in life. It’s all big dreams, dent-free optimism and nerves-jangled by the endless possibilities of success. This is because entrepreneurs have something employees don’t: control over the future. They have a grip on their destiny and all it takes is a great idea (or two), true grit, dedication to the dream and the right skills. Have those things and you can build your wealth and leave behind a legacy. That’s the shiny side of the coin. The other side is, rather, unfortunately, a much darker place an that’s because it is rife with sacrifice; the kind that needs to be made in order for success to be possible. Basically, the more you can give to the cause the more you can invest yourself in it the more attractive the rewards will be at the end. So, without further ado, here are the sacrifices every entrepreneur needs to expect and make room for: Sayonara Stability The moment you decide to go it alone and start your own business, you leave behind all security in the hope that your idea will be a success. But there are no guarantees this will be the case. At best, you’re building on a rocky foundation and that’s because you have no idea which direction this will go or how you will need to adapt. The most obvious form of stability you will need to sacrifice is a steady job with a well-paying salary, but it could be some other kind of stability you need to sacrifice in order to move forward. Bye-Bye Work-Life Balance When you are in employment even with work emails on your personal phone the division is very clear. The moment you leave the office you are leaving work. It’s that simple. Unfortunately, this line starts to blur when you become an entrepreneur. You start thinking about business around the clock. And not always because you want to; sometime you just can’t help it. Instead of having a home life and work life, you’ll have a business life and business life lite. That said, you’re business time will feel more like personal time than ever because you’ll want to be there, which is a nice balance to have. Money Is A Big Sacrifice For the first two or three years of your entrepreneurial life, you’re probably not going to make much money. We know that sounds horrendous, but it’s a reality you need to get comfortable with. At the most drastic end of the scale, you’ll find yourself investing heaps of your own money (maybe your family’s too), and at the easier end of the scale you’ll have secured working capital from somewhere like twinfoldcapital.com. Either way, your safety net of a salary is gone. That said, you are the boss so you can decide on where the money gets spent and how much salary you’ll pay yourself. Sleep Is A Thing Of The Past You will have never needed sleep more in your life, yet you will have never found it so hard to preserve a healthy sleep pattern. It will be worry keeping you awake, all-nighters to meet client deadlines and getting up before the sun to get a headstart on your to-do list. But it will get easier and, even if it doesn’t, you will get used to it.

Why Did You Decide To Start Your Business

Why Did You Decide To Start Your Business I just found out that Why Did You Decide to Start Your Business?, an article I contributed to on The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur (love that name!) is up! Normally its something Id just tweet about I did only contribute 450 words (which was a feat in and of itself, let me tell you I never spoke so succintly!), but when I saw the responses from the other contributors I knew I had to lead you guys to it. Head on over to hear 41 (short!) stories from entrepreneurs on why they decided to start their business, from a 13 year old social media consultant (yes, really!) to a woman who makes handbags from cat hair (yes, double really). Enjoy!
