Usually people associate dining out with fun, pleasure and a relaxed atmosphere. All true statements until you are trying to land a job while going out for lunch. Candidates normally asked themselves why an employer would want to conduct an interview over a meal. There are many reasons why. The hiring manager may not want the office to know they are interviewing for a certain position. The position may require heavy client interaction and business meetings and not only are you being considered for the position but also you are being observed on how you perform in an open environment. It doesn’t matter what the reason is, but in an extremely tight job market you the candidate need to be prepared.

Here are a couple of Do’s and Don’ts to keep in mind.

The Do’s

Ø Shut off your cell phone – I know it’s very tempting to check you blackberry or phone but resist temptation. Even if your interviewer is checking their phone do not check yours.

Ø Learn the Restaurant – Find out something about the restaurant that can be associated with something you are interested in. Engage your interviewer about the restaurant ask a question “Have you been here before?” “What do you recommend?”

Ø Inquire about your interviewer – You need to break the ice, ask questions such as “What do you like most about the company?” “How did you get your position here?”

Ø Keep your guard up – Remember this is an interview not a social setting. Keep focused on what’s at stake. Some companies will send an employee that is similar in age and background that will try to possibly stay something that you should not have.

The Do Not’s

Ø Talk Excessively – Better known as the pregnant pause used by interviewers. When you are done answering a question do not fill the open air. It is interesting what is said when someone is nervous.

Ø Being Late – Whether it’s for an in office interview or lunch interview always arrive about 15 minutes early.

Ø Rude to Restaurant Workers – This rank’s number one as the biggest blunder. Be polite to your waiter/waitress. Be patient and keep you focus on why you are there.

Ø Your Ordering Taste – Keep in mind the price of the items on the menu. Ordering the most expensive item. Skip dessert and only order coffee if the hiring manager is having something. This shows that you are fiscally responsible. Beware of what you order. Order something that you need to use a fork, and stay away from onions and garlic.

Following these easy to remember tips will help you land your new position. Lunch interviews just added some more complexity to the hiring process. Also always do your research on the company and be prepared.

 

With the current state of the economy and unemployment rising every month you the job seeker need to take full advantage of every opportunity you have.  There are fewer and fewer jobs available thus making your resume the number one priority.  Before you send out your resume compare it against this simple checklist.

1.      Clear Objective

There has been much debate was to whether or not to include an objective on a resume.  I am here to say “YES”.  Your resume must have a clear objective, not one with a lot of words that is not clearly defining your interest.  It is simple your objective should state the target job title your resume is going to speak to.  Your objective helps lead you into your opening statement which you will then focus your resume on.  This statement will immediately let employers know who you are.

2.      Opening Statement

 

Most resumes open with the “Summary of Qualifications”.  The problem is the qualifications summarized tend to be more fictional than real.  Within this paragraph cliché phrases are used such as “results driven” or “proven track record”. 

 

If your resume has these two phrases or phrases that are very similar you may want to restructure your resume.  Don’t bore your reader, your reader is only interested in one thing can you do the job.  Can you help solve their problem. 

 

Instead present a clear and concise statement usually one sentence that highlights your single biggest strength and end with what benefit you can offer.  This is normally justified by some dollar figure since in today’s business world everything comes down to dollars saved.

 

3.      Measureable Results

Within this section you need to list specific achievements in a bullet form.  Achievements should be justifiable someone you worked for received a benefit.  You need to get your point across in this section you need to communicate to your audience your “true value” both clearly and specifically. These bullet points should be brief no longer than a sentence long.  Ideally if you are able to assign a dollar value to your statement it will have a bigger impact with your new employer.

 

4.      One Job Title = One Resume

Employers, Human Resource representatives, job recruiters have a short attention span, thus you only have a small window to lure them into reading more about you.  Once you lose their attention or confuse them your resume will be put to the side.  If you are applying for a controller position state why you are a great controller.  Employers do not need to know areas that do not pertain to the current job you are applying for.  Always use one resume for one position, do not use the same resume for different positions.  You need to structure your resume for the job you are applying for.  If you do this your resume will not be set aside.

5.      At the Top

Put all important information at the top of your resume.  Start with your most recent position and continue.  Most resume readers spend approximately 20 seconds thus you have this amount of time to make an impact and to capture your reader to keep reading.  If you have an important fact do not bury it within the body have it stand out.  For example if you helped reduce costs by 10% this information should be highlighted at the top of page 1.

If you follow this simple checklist, chances are your resume will stand out and you will receive more call backs. Visit www.carvechi.com for more information and articles.

 Due to the recent hard economic times in the United States Economy employers are finding ways to cut back on costs without laying off their labor force.  Companies are looking at ways to reduce variable costs since they are locked into fixed costs such as leases.

In an effort to control and manage costs companies are reviewing current benefit programs that their employees are entitled to receive as full time workers.  Some fortune 500 companies are looking to introduce taking away the 401k match they offer employees, or have their current employee pick up the full tab for their healthcare benefits.  State and government offices are also looking for ways to reduce their spending by introducing furloughs instead of laying off workers.  Employees are not standing still even in these tough economic times once notified of their reduced benefits most begin their search for new work elsewhere.

Although companies believe that the economy will begin to have an upturn heading into 2010 most said that the cuts were necessary for their survival, and they believe that more cuts can still happen heading into the 4ths quarter of 2009.  These late recession layoffs often cost the company more money due to severance packages, and they need to rehire staff, retraining, and recruitment fees once the economy has recovered.

Companies also putting in place hiring freezes which result in 1) having your current workforce work longer hours to pick up the slack, or 2) reach out for temporary workers to help fill the void.  Temporary assignments have been on the rise, and will continue into the early parts of 2010.  The workload for companies has not reduced, and they still need able bodies to help complete pending deadlines such as system implementations, SOX compliance, and internal controls documentation.

Furthermore until we see a steady climb in our economy companies will still try to manage their variable costs by hiring temporary help thus saving the company money from paying out full time benefits such as 401k, healthcare, pensions, car allowance, and many other benefits.

 

                 Do you hear what I hear?  The sounds of the masses panicking over the DOW dropping and slowly accepting defeat by rolling over and playing dead.  The media loves nothing more than to pump us up with this negativity; to fuel the fire.  Everywhere you turn it seems like someone is spewing myths of doomsday, and one can’t help feeling overwhelmed and challenged.  Layoff and unemployment rates seem to be going up and up, and many are beginning to wonder “Why Me”.

                With the job market being so competitive due to a lack of available jobs, and recruiters seeming to collect resumes as a hobby rather than actually get you a job, it’s easy to feel victimized by the system.  Everyone is facing challenges right now, but the only way to overcome these challenges is by having the right mindset.  Everyone needs to learn to face these challenges to head on.  We need to learn to empower ourselves to change or empower ourselves to MAKE a change.

                Rather than think of challenges as horrible incidents that HAPPEN to us, we need to think of them as hurdles that we must jump in order to build strength of character and grow as a human being.  It’s easy to say things like “I’m facing this challenge because of the government, not because someone wants me to grow”, but the truth is that we all make our own success and our own failures.  We are responsible for 99% of what happens to us, and if we face a challenge, it is because of a decision we made that did not work out just right.  It’s time you empower yourself to stand up and say, “This situation sucks, but I’m taking charge.  I’m going to MAKE my success.  I’m going to MAKE myself happy.”

                Face the challenges head on.  Face your fears.  If you do, you will see such massive growth in yourself that it will radiate to all other areas of your life, because you will have learned a great lesson.  Even though we cannot control what happens in our day to day lives, we CAN control how we handle the situation.  We can empower ourselves to MAKE our own “luck” by hard work and dedication.   We can empower ourselves to MAKE to change if we don’t like where our life is headed right now.   No one gets a free lunch in this world.  No one got where they were by just being “lucky”.  Once you realize that you’re not a victim just because you weren’t one of the “lucky” ones, you will rise above.

                Having the right mindset will get you far.  If you take the bull by the horns, run with the situation and make the best of it, success will come your way.  Instead of moping about not having a job, go out there every single day and make it happen.  Call up every company that turned you away and sell them on why they need you.  Don’t take no for an answer, and don’t stop there.  Remember that job that you wanted so bad, but thought you could never get because it was out of your league?  Apply to it!  Envision yourself getting that job, and depositing that first paycheck.  Empower yourself to believe that you can make a change, and maybe, just maybe, YOU can empower people to change.

We all know the job market out there is tough. It’s tough times for everyone right now. You’re either looking for a job or petrified that the job you currently have is going to end for a reason unknown to you. So how can one create wealth and abundance in a volatile job market? How can you be successful when it seems you have nothing but obstacles in front of you?

First, let’s define wealth and abundance. Wealth and abundance is not just about having lots of money and a yacht to boot. Wealth and abundance is having the ability to live a comfortable life, and to continue to further yourself. It’s somewhat of a two-way street. You cannot be happy and successful if you do not have wealth and abundance by striving to better yourself. If you are stagnant, you create a stagnant lifestyle. That is what you bring to you. Whatever you project out comes back to you.

If you have the ability to face your challenges, then do so! By facing challenges head on, by taking control of your life, you are unconsciously creating wealth and abundance. You are telling yourself that you believe that you can do something better, that you have real value. If you project that positivity, eventually (though it may not be as quickly as you like) that is going to be what surrounds your life.

You may be thinking that it’s easier to say than to do, and if that’s your mindset, you are your own worst enemy. Things can always get worse before they get better, but why focus on that? Because you’re a “realist”? No, you’re a pessimist if you think in those terms. You’re accepting defeat and you’re letting the world know, “Hey, I’m a victim!” The only person who has victimized you is YOURSELF.

We have to learn to let go of our fears and our inhibitions. Learn to emit positivity, and wealth and abundance will come your way. It’s not just going to happen to you, you have to go out and get it. If you feel you justly deserve a raise, create a game plan/speech and tell you boss you deserve it and exactly why that is the case. Break down the walls that we’ve been brainwashed to put up. Once you learn there are no limits, you have nowhere to go but up.

 

 In a tough time it can seem like everyone’s leaning on you as a leader.  It can be extremely frustrating and overwhelming.  Employees are coming to you for answers that you used to have, but no longer do.  Many employees have little faith in their company’s business model and managers.  So how can you act as a professional leader and show off your skills as a manager?  Prevent yourself from being a habitual user of bad habits.

A common bad habit that many managers are now using as a crutch is expressing their concerns and worries to their employees.  Even though you may be just as stressed, if not more, than your fellow employees, you are still their leader.  Try encouraging and motivating your employees, as hard as that may seem to be.  They’ll appreciate your efforts.  In the meantime, take out your stress in a healthy way be talking with a good friend, exercising or taking up a new hobby.

At the same time, don’t blow sunshine where it doesn’t belong.  If times are tough and you feel the company is in a serious predicament, make your employees aware.  If you are honest with them, at least they will feel like there’s a possibility that they can have a hand in turning the bad situation around, given enough warning.  They’ll also appreciate the heads-up if they know they need to start looking for a job elsewhere, not if you lay them off the next day without any notice.  Plus, no one will think you’re a strong leader when you’re lying to them on a regular basis.

Even worse than lying to your employees, is intimidating them with the bad economy.  If someone needs to go to a doctor’s appointment or is not feeling well, don’t make them feel bad for asking for time off, and don’t make them feel like they will lose their job for doing so.  This will only lower productivity as it decreases the morale of the employee.  They’ll feel as if they’re one step away from losing their job, so what is the point? 

Last, but most certainly not least, don’t hide in your office or behind a locked door.  Even if you feel like you can’t answer any of your employees’ questions, they will appreciate the fact that you are being a strong leader by at least providing your presence and uplifting words.  Hiding in your office will only prompt more questions and concerns from your employees and cause a vicious circle.  Face your employees head-on with integrity and motivation, and your productivity will increase because you are boosting your relationships with your employees.

 

 We’ve all been watching the news.  We know what it’s like to watch the big boys get bailed out and still get nice salaries, while the little guy gets laid off.  We sit there, frustrated, demanding answers.  We’re all in the same boat, and we’re tired of the corporate structures that have led to our demise.  But, when you’re searching for a job, are you now at the mercy of these corporations to take you in?  Absolutely not!

Many companies are much more forward-thinking and understand that there is a reason why these antiquated business models failed.  Companies like Google are opening up their structure to be more democratic rather than a regime.  What does that mean?  That means these companies believe in the fact that individual employees have an equal say in how the business is run.  The decisions and input are no longer exclusive to just a select group of 2-5 executives.  So how do you find these companies?

Keep a look out for companies that embrace an open atmosphere.  When you walk into the office, does the structure turn you off?  Or do they have open desks and cubes, soda machines, video games, etc.?  Remember, you’re potentially going to be working in this environment every day, so make sure it’s an environment that you’re comfortable with.  Companies that promote employee understanding generally know that the understanding must be present in every aspect of their work, including their environment.

Do research on the company.  These days most, if not all, companies have reviews and profiles that can be found online.  Check with your contacts, and see if you have someone who can give you an insider’s eye as to what it’s like to work there.  A good mindset to follow is that not only is the company interviewing you, but you’re also interviewing the company.  Don’t settle, always strive for what you think you deserve.

When you’re interviewing with the company, be sure to come with a list of questions.  Don’t be afraid to ask them about their structure and policies.  Ask them directly how they feel employees fit in within their organization and whether you will have a voice.  Inquire what the company’s goals are and how they act as an ethical business.

Remember, even though times are tough, it does not mean that this isn’t a time to negotiate or find the job that is meant for you.  Don’t sacrifice you’re overall well-being, health, and aspirations because of a job opening.  One can even argue that the times are ripe for thinking and acting out-of-the-box.  It tends to make you stand out above the rest, and in these times, when the unemployment rate keeps skyrocketing higher and higher, being an individual in a group sounds good to me.

             Job hunting can seem like the most tedious and disheartening task you set out for yourself, especially in this market.  It can get to the point where you get so frustrated that you want to give up or you figure, “What’s the point?”  The trick to job hunting in today’s market is to be versatile.  Don’t follow the same stale standards that everyone’s been doing for centuries.  Odds are the people who preach these concepts are the one that got us in this situation in the first place!  Branch out and try new tactics that have proven extremely useful for numerous candidates, and learn how to utilize all of your time looking for a job rather than sending out resumes for an hour and moving on to other things.  Check out these 10 Hot Tips for Job Hunting in Today’s Market:

1)      Read trade magazines – Reading trade magazines will keep you up-to-date on the latest information and trends in your industry.  Many of these trade magazines even post current job openings.  Keep yourself in the game by being knowledgeable and also find out who’s currently hiring.

2)      Take a class – It may sounds strange, but taking a class, even if it’s not related to your job, can help you job hunt.  If you’re taking a class that deals with your typical field, you’ll be just as up-to-date, if not more, than everyone else in the field, and you can beef up your resume.  If you take a class that’s not related, it’s perfect to use as a jumping off point for networking or it might open your eyes up to another field you’ve been wanting to explore.

3)      Get online – While you’re spending all that time sending out your resumes and searching job posting boards, why finish there?  Don’t turn the computer off yet, when you haven’t even begun to start.  Have somewhere to point people to if they read your resume or just get out and network.  Sign up for LinkedIn, Naymz, and facebook…but beware!  Don’t put up content that you don’t want to be seen.

4)      Get a hobby – Hobbies are great for exploring other areas of interest.  Maybe you’ll find that you like working on cars, and you decide to become a mechanic.  It’s also a great stress reliever.

5)      Volunteer – Volunteering not only helps with networking, but it also helps you feel productive and useful. 

6)      Build A List Of Companies – Instead of seeing what’s out there and what’s open, start building a wish list of companies you’d like to work for.  Check to see if you have any contacts for these companies, and ask them what it’s like to work there.

7)      Go To Group Meetings – Not only can being around those who are in your industry be uplifting mentally, but you can also meet new people who are currently working in your industry and promote networking.

8)      Networking, Networking, Networking – Did we say networking?  The most effective tool for job hunting is networking.  Keep up with all of your contacts, and don’t just harass them about job openings.  Ask them how they’re doing or have a barbecue.  No one likes a pest that’s looking just to take, take, take.

9)      Contact recruiters – Don’t just wait for someone to contact you.  Call up recruiters and start building relationships.  Make sure they know your name and what you’re capable of.  Put yourself in front of them, and find out what they have going on.

10)   Take a break and do something different – Even though you may feel like you’re slacking, sometimes it’s good for the mind to take a little break…BUT…that doesn’t mean that we aren’t thinking about job hunts the whole time!  How is that?  While you’re doing the most random things, you may find that something you never thought of before motivates you and moves you.  That “something” may be you next profession.

 Do you remember those things called “rolodexes”?  You know…the big bulky things that sit on your desk with someone’s handwritten name and phone number bunched in with a million others?  Well, those are a thing of the past.  If you can manage all your networking through an old-school rolodex, you must be doing something wrong.  Networking has become an art, and requires finesse and much attention.  Done right, networking can be your most powerful asset when it comes to finding a job.

When you think about it, your network of business contacts are really a lifeline that you can use should you encounter an emergency (i.e. being laid off).  With that in mind, you should think of your networking list as something that should be checked on every now and then to make sure it’s functioning properly.  You wouldn’t leave the same fire extinguisher in your house and hope it will do the job in 25 years if a fire should start up, right?  No, you’d check it on a regular recommended schedule.  You should follow the same theory when it comes to your business acquaintances.

Nowadays, list maintenance can be a little more efficient to manage utilizing software like LinkedIn or Naymz.  You can keep in contact by connecting through profiles, which it is up to the individual to perpetually update.  What’s the benefit in that?  Well, previously, before these networks existed, you may have had your ex-boss’ business email address.  If he happened to leave that job, and you’ve stopped communicating, and you try to contact him five years down the road, you have nothing to go on except a bounced email from an address that no longer works.  Now, if you’re using software like those mentioned above, the person can update their contact information constantly, even if they move from job to job, and there is no extra effort for you to keep up with them.

This is not to say that you should just make sure you add each business contact to your professional online profile and leave them there to rot without any communication.  It’s important for people to feel that networking is a two-way street when it comes to you.  If you add no value, what value is it to them to be your acquaintance?  Ask a business associate to catch up over lunch, send Christmas cards, or even just say “Hi” over a quick 10-minute call every now and then.  Massage your contact list.

If you keep up with your networking, you should never be in a completely hopeless situation.  You would be amazed who people know.  Your plumber may be connected to the CEO of that IT firm you’ve been trying to get to hire you.  Don’t just limit yourself to business associates.  Next time you’re standing in line at the grocery store, introduce yourself to the person behind you.  You never know…they could be the next Bill Gates.

 

We’ve said it a million times.  Social marketing/networking is such a powerful tool when it comes to finding a job.  This week alone we have heard three different success stories about Twitter landing someone a job.  These amazing stories come in a time when people can’t even get jobs by following the protocol.  This truly shows that times are changing.  People want to connect with somebody, including employers, and employers want to know who they are hiring, not just a list of qualities.

Twitter is interactive software that is designed to keep a network of people up-to-date on what each other are doing.  You are given a short amount of space to briefly write an update on your “status”…somewhat similar to Facebook.  However, rather than just sending updates to all of your friends, who may have nothing in common with each other, you can target individuals with similar mindsets and/or goals.  Can you see the benefit?  Massive online communities being formed, as we speak, based on mutual interests.

This is where it gets interesting.  If you are in the market for a job, you can create a Twitter profile for yourself, and being posting “tweets”, or updates, to strategic contacts in the line of work you are interested in.  Writing a simple tweet such as, “Looking for an entry level SEO job.  Is anyone hiring?”, can stimulate a series of responses, especially when you’ve already “followed” (added someone as a friend) multiple people in the SEO field or with SEO interests.  What’s the catch?  The catch is…in order to be effective, you must follow a set of rules.

Your profile should reflect your personality (remember, you’re not just a number), but it should also remain professional.  Racy or controversial pictures should not be posted as your Twitter background or profile picture.  You should also “tweet” about quality content.  No one wants to know if you had a Tuna Fish Sandwich for lunch, but they will want to know about the interesting article you found on “Twitter Tactics”.  Put a link up to a professional personal profile, such as LinkedIn or Naymz.  But beware…you should never spam your followers.  If you put up “sales” links to your business opportunities or links to your accomplishments every 5 seconds, while having only 5 followers and 6,000 people you are following, your “tweets” will be ignored or considered link spamming.  Not a good trait!  Your ratio of “followers” to “following” should be roughly the same.

Employers are seeking “out-of-the-box” methods to hire employees.  The standard job market and job roles no longer apply.  The crashing economy is proof of this.  Take advantage of the changes, and empower yourself to control your life and your job.  People are interested in people, not numbers.  For the first time, in a long time, you have the ability to show how you can contribute to a company as a person, not a resume.

 Empowering People to Change,

Today I met with a great person who was affected by the job market. Her company performed a RIF (reduction in workforce) and she has been without a job for less than a month. What set her apart was her determination and focus to find another position. She was positive and had a clear vision of when she was going to start working. That is all she focused on and nothing could change her mind.

I wish all the people I met had the same positive outlook on life and overcoming a difficult time in the nation’s economy. Sometimes when I speak with candidates I become a counselor, motivator, shoulder to cry on, and just a friendly ear to listen to someone’s pain. You can’t avoid reading another article or listening to the news and hearing about unemployment rates, foreclosures, and the pending automotive crisis. The media continues to focus on death, crisis, and financial woes before something fun and exciting… at least in the Miami news market.

I always tell people do not listen to negativity and focus on the positive.   If you focus on images and thoughts of negativity, then that is what will come true in your mind. We all need to learn and stop being our own worst enemy. Let’s try to empower someone every day with information to help them in their lives, and change the way they do things. 

 Don’t let current economic woes take the wind out of your sails! There are jobs out there to be had if you conduct a diligent search and look in the right places. Your network is your best resource, so use it! Your network can inform you of open positions you never would have found on your own because the most coveted positions are usually not posted, they don’t need to be. Perhaps you’re an unwitting victim of the current global economic crisis; relax take a deep breath because economies and markets move in cycles, you are going to be just fine.

 

            Without a doubt the job market is overrun with qualified professionals competing for the same positions you are. I want to enlighten you as to some interesting new career opportunities that might be a perfect fit for you and just happen to be in high demand at the moment. No more linear thinking, its time to think out of the box and get out of your comfort zone! I want to discuss the best opportunities relative to salary range, which is a key factor in any career search. Additionally, I would ask that you consider what is it that you see the most potential for your professional growth. Many people are corporate functionaries that perform jobs, few have careers that reward and satisfy. A GREAT CAREER will bring out your creativity and ability to innovate and accomplish things you never thought possible. The jobs I will list are taken from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, some may require significant training but these are definitely the hot jobs of 2009!
