Notas do Editor
- Show of hands. Who in this room has a job today; who thinks there job will be ending in the next 6-12 months? Who is working as a contractor? Who is working direct? Of those with jobs Who is working harder today with less people than in the past? Who feels like if they don’t get more help they might not make it another week?
- The replenishment of business inventories and the distribution of federal stimulus monies appeared to give the national economy a boost in late 2009 and early 2010. But both stimuli waned noticeably by late spring 2010, and the economy seemed to be pausing and evaluating whether it could stand without federal support—possibly even sliding backward. From the current vantage point it appears the economy has managed to stand on its own, yet still without the strength to move forward. There are still questions when looking toward the end of this year as to whether the national economy will be ready to move forward even by then.
- Lessons learned from those of you in the room who have been unemployed in the last 3 years?
- You can be the best the industry has to offer, but if you’re not managing your online presence, you’re failing yourself and not working the same channels that everyone else is working. I’m going to talk about some techniques you can implement to manage your online presence, particularly on LinkedIn, arguably the most popular and most used business social network. In fact, depending where you look, up to 45% of hiring managers will find top candidates on LinkedIn and elsewhere.
- Search engine optimization is the key to your online findability. Web sites use SEO to promote their rank in search engines, so when you want to find a web site on german shepherds, that’s what you type into Google or Yahoo. How will you be found? Look at your skills and what you will deliver on day one of your next contract position. When an IT firm needs a developer, you can imagine they’ll be typing in .NET, Java, or whatever they happen to need. So you need to think about your online presence like webmasters think about SEO.
- So SEO for your profile and “indispensability” are intimately related. The hiring manager or recruiter is going to search for what she needs using the most obvious words, you’ve got to have those words in there. You’ve got to figure out a way to get found. But in doing so, don’t just create a new and improved self that you think managers are seeking. I write resumes every day, so I know that qualified candidates have the goods. They just have to put these ideas out there—when we’re as descriptive as we can be, the words just flow out, and those likely are the key words that a recruiter or hiring manager is going to search on, too.
- So where, you’re probably asking, where do these great SEO/key words go? According to Mary, they belong in the “I am” statement. Veterans of this group know what the “I am” statement is. For our new friends, it’s what you answer when someone asks you who you are, as in “I am a resume writer who gets interviews for savvy job seekers.” The gist is that you are who you are, and only you are who you are—and you are the best candidate for the position you’re seeking. That sense of self-knowledge plus confidence is going to go a long way when you have to give your elevator pitch—and when you develop your online presence.
- I’d like to focus here on one aspect of your LinkedIn profile: Your tagline. In my anecdotal experience, it’s perhaps the most useful component of your profile, in terms of search and being found. Be specific about your expertise, talents, and contributions. SPIN! Make it about you, and only you. Tagline is critical. Assume your audience has a short attention span. Hit the highlights hard. The next question, then, is how does your self-perception, your “I am” statement, get reflected in your tagline?
- Conclusion: Put in what helps, leave out what doesn’t. You search for them, they search for you. Guaranteed. Google yourself—every version of your name you can think of. Create a unique version of your name for online/professional use. Monitor the content that appears when you search for yourself. Facebook/MySpace: Keep it clean. Figure out what hiring managers are seeing when they look for you, both on LinkedIn and elsewhere on the web.
