Everyone works for themselves, right

Everyone works for themselves, right With the idea that we are changing jobs every 3-5 years, doesnt it make sense that we have some kind of agent that represents us? This would be someone that makes sure that we know the right people (and they know us), go to the right meetings and conferences, dress right, have the proper image, communicate appropriately, and the bottom line: minimize our downtime. Truth is, not many people have their own agent to do this. Its like paying the bills I gotta do it on my own, and so do you. So if no one else is going to watch out for you, like an agent should, then you better learn the game. This, my friends, is what Ive been referring to as career management. By no means is this a complete post on career management actually, if you are interested in that I suggest you subscribe to this blog (see the little box in the top right corner? Just put your e-mail address there and click go). I think that its more of a slow, paradigm-shifting process rather than read one article and Im there. Theres just too much that goes into being your own agent, and a daily dose of career messages will help in this shift. I just wanted to share some things that Ive come acrossed that might be little messages that touch one person or another here goes: Steve Levy posted a sweet list of 25 Ways to Climb the Career Ladder. This applies to everyone, whether you are a student or preparing for retirement, whether you are a cubicle junkie or you work at home even if you are the business owner! Basic stuff, but lots of times I find myself so deep in the trenches that I forget about the basic stuff. Spend 2 minutes and go read this one. Im not the only one talking about networking, but heres a piece on Networking for Introverts from BusinessPundit.com. Look, networking isnt a technique only for Type A personalities. Its not about whos most popular, or suave. Anyone can network and everyone should network. Read this article on networking for introverts (or Pam Slims follow-up here), and if you still think its not for you then think of it as relationship building. You dont have to do it with hundreds of people dont be intimidated by the folks that have thousands of people in their network. The key is to develop meaningful relationships with others, and as Ive mentioned before, it just starts with a hi. Speaking of relationships, building a network is more than just having a piece of paper (or spreadsheet) with names and contact info. I challenge you to find the most network savvy person you know and ask him to describe the relationships he has with his contacts. My experience is that too many people focus on how powerful that contact is but disregard the strength of the relationship! I just read somewhere (cant remember where) that the test is would they do a you a favor when you ask them? This can be taken many ways but he idea is that (a) they know who you are and (b) they would take action to help. Lots of ways to get to this point, the biggest is to give, give, give and add value to their life! Going back to the agent thing as you develop these relationships you need to keep track of them. Birthday reminders, ranking the relationships, having goals to ensure you are actively improving the relationships, logging important phone calls or whatever, creating action items these are all things that you can do with JibberJobber! Its not just for a job search, its for career management. I get asked by non-job seekers if they could use JibberJobber for their own business. The question usually goes like this: I am not looking for a job exactly, but wonder how JibberJobber might work as a contact manager for my potential referral sources and clients. Now I know that my JibberJobber users are snickering at this question, but let me explain: If you take the idea of job search out of JibberJobber you have a pretty nice relationship manager. All of the things that I just mentioned to manage a relationship is included. In the free version you can manage 250 relationships (well, 325 if you count the 75 contacts for the free companies!) The person that asked this is typical of the small business owner Ive had this question from lawyers, accountants and other business owners. Its all about the relationships and JibberJobber is a great alternative to other CRM tools. Heres why: Salesforce.com is a great system. I cant really discount anything they do. For many people it is too pricey and too complex. JibberJobber doesnt have all the cool reports and stuff that SalesForce has, but you also dont need to go to 3 day training sessions to learn how to use it. Goldmine and ACT! are great systems that you can install on your server or PC, and buying a copy is cheaper than the lifetime membership to JibberJobber. But here are the problems, in my experience as an IT manager having to support stuff like this: You have the same lingo issues (that is, nomenclature jargon language that a sales guy is familiar with but might make no sense to you). JibberJobber was designed with job search and relationship management in mind so you wont see all the cool, sophisticated tools for sales quotas and all of that which is a good thing for many people. You have to buy it, install it and configure it. Not a big deal but many of you may have had your IT team do this :p I dont dislike software that you have to install but if you move computers you gotta do it again. To setup JibberJobber just go create a free account it should take like 2 minutes. Upgrades youll likely be prompted every year or three to upgrade for a fee of course, or else youll be living with software from the Barney Rubble days. With JibberJobber, all new releases are automatically available to you. And if you are a premium subscriber then you get all of the new premium updates at no extra cost! How cool is that. Backups do you backup your PC now? Do you backup your e-mail? I dont either! What in the world makes you think that you are going to backup your system after you get the software loaded? I thought so. JibberJobber is backed up regularly for you so you dont have to think about it. Access Im a pretty mobile guy Ill be on at least 2 computers from my home, and travel a little bit. I love to get access to my contacts while Im on the road (at a friends, relatives or just the library). You cant do this from a PC-based application, but JibberJobber allows you to have access from any computer that is web-enabled. In my opinion, and with my experience supporting software for corporate environments, JibberJobber is an appropriate tool for your personal relationship management needs. If you are using your corporate Outlook to do this, think about what will happen when you get terminated (hint: they probably wont let you take your Outlook file with you). If you own a small business, determine what your needs are and perhaps JibberJobber can fill them. Remember, you are your own agent its time to seriously look at how youll manage your relationships JibberJobber will be a great tool for you, no matter who you are.

University of Manchester Careers Blog Welcome new new and returning students hope you had a productive summer!   We have been busy too, setting up the Careers Service in a new location in University Place The Atrium on the 1st floor. So  whats new this year? You might spot our stand out campaign on campus. Its really important that you make the most of your time at University , its not just about attending lectures, labs  and seminars!   You need to use whatever spare time you have to gain skills to help employers see how valuable you could be as a future employee. This could be voluntering, summer jobs, internships, part time jobs and society or sports involvement.   Whatever you do make it count! If you are now in your final year its vital that you plan your exit strategy! What are you going to do after university?   No clue? Thats fine, but you need to start exploring your options now so that you are not in the same position when you graduate.   There are loads of opportunities to get started but you have to take the first step. There are jobs, and lots of them!   The media rarely report good news its much more fun for them to depress everyone with gloomy stories of recession and lack of jobs.   Its simply not universally true for all sectors.   YES  some sectors  that have been hit hard,  if you are worried that vacancies for the types of work you are interested in seem scarce then talk to us and see if we can help you find them or find a plan B. Graduate schemes are not the only fruit! Did you know that most students dont go on to work with big corporates on graduate schemes?   The job market is made up with far more people working for smaller employers or big employers who take on staff as and when they need them.   Graduate schemes are very visible and the recruiters are on campus and attending events all the time, why not they have hundreds of places to fill and they want good graduates to take them.   If thats not for you this is where CareersLink can really help, not only do we advertise all the graduate schemes but we also have good contacts with loads of other recruiters who are keen to employ Manachester students graduates.   So dont just look at the big names, when looking at jobs look at the job descriptions.

Whats On Your Table

Whats On Your Table This Thanksgiving what will be on your table or if not your table, the table of those you are visiting? Does it matter, really? Thanksgiving has to be more than a feast in my opinion.   Therefore, what is on the table is nowhere near as important as whos around the table. Sure, sharing food, ie. breaking bread, is a wonderful way to unite, but it isnt all about the food. This Thanksgiving, be grateful for the people in your life.   Be appreciative that you have a roof over your head and that you are healthy enough to be sitting at the table.   These are the most important things in life.   Try and keep it in perspective. It isnt about the fancy side dishes, the gorgeous looking bird or the fine china and crystal. Put down your smart phone, step away from the computer, heck, even turn off the television for awhile.   These distractions take away from the finer points of this holiday.   Tell stories or ask senior family members to share their favorite stories of holidays past.   Ask the youngest ones to share their fondest memories.   Try to make it a multi-generational experience. What has been your favorite Thanksgiving memory?   Or perhaps, you have a Thanksgiving-gone-bad story to tell.   Either way, share your story!

Moms Thank You Notes and Follow Up

Mom’s Thank You Notes and Follow Up Mom’s Thank-you Notes and Follow Up Turns out, your mother was right! Sending  thank you  notes  is  the right thing to do. However,  in the job search process it  is  also  required.  The benefit  in conducting good  job search  follow up is  that it shows great persistence  and professionalism.  You can use the opportunity to  expand,  reinforce  or clarify something that you discussed in the interview.  Finally,  it prevents  the  interviewers  from forgetting about you  (which they  may) and  it  shows  that you really want  their  job.   As a former  hiring manager, I can tell you,  with certainty,  that one of the weakest parts of  candidates’  job search steps  is  their  follow up.  So, now that you know  better, there’s no excuse  for  inadequate follow up.     Start by sending  your  thank you  note  via  e-mail  24-48 hours after your interview. You want  the interview  to be fresh in your mind and  in  the company’s!  Address a note to each person  with whom  you met; no group  e-mails. Be  sure  you have spelled everyone’s names correctly  and write every e-mail with perfect grammar and a full signature with your full name, phone number and e-mail.     The Flow of a  Well-crafted  Thank  You  Note  Includes:   Thank them for the opportunity to meet  and acknowledge that they took the time  to do so.   Using bullets, highlight  between one and three  reasons  why youre the best fit for the role.  Your goal  here  is to  remind  them why you would be a good fit.     Close by  hitting  these three points:  Express your interest, commit to following up again  within a specified timeframe  (ideally in a week),  and thank them,  again,  for their time and consideration.     Now, you cannot sit back and wait for a response. Unless and until you hear definitively about the job, you will send  up to three follow up  e-mails. Yes, three.     Space them seven days apart.  Each follow up note should begin with pleasantries, then contain a sentence explaining where you left off in your last communication with them.  Something like: “You had indicated to me that youd be making your final decision during the week of, and I just wanted to follow up to see where you are in that decision.”  Then, rather than continue to  pester them about when the decision will be made, take the opportunity to  include something of value about you; mention training you  just completed, discuss a deal you closed, or highlight a project you finished.  Close  the thank you note  by indicating that you intend to follow up again in another  week.     3 Tricks to Great Follow Up:   Always appear gracious, positive, patient, and interested.  Minimize the use of “I, me and  my.”   When following up via  e-mail, always attached the  prior  e-mail  you are referring to.     Match your communications medium  to  the  one the  interviewer  has been using; return  e-mails with  e-mails, but if they call you, return their call.     Practice writing thank you note emails  and get a friend to read them for feedback.  It may not be second nature to send up to four thank you and follow up notes to a prospective employer, but  this could be the difference between  being forgotten and standing out.
