Can you be an INTROVERT and have a successful JOB SEARCH

Can you be an INTROVERT and have a successful JOB SEARCH It seems like: introvert + job search = failure Doesnt it? Doesnt all the advice point to networking? And doesnt networking mean you have to meet people, smile, be happy and excited and positive? WAIT!!! STOP!!! Yes, your relationships can and should play a big role in your job search, and the success of your job search. But if you are introverted, or scared to death to be an extrovert (or fake being an extrovert), there is still hope for you. Lots of hope. Social networking is a powerful tool for introverts because they are not in a high-pressure social environment. But introverts can thrive at non-social networking, too. They can definitely thrive. Take what you think networking is all about you know, all the stuff extroverts seem to thrive at, and discard it. Networking is more about developing real relationships than it is knowing everyone your city, or industry. Networking is more about one-on-one than it is collecting dozens or hundreds of business cards and email addresses (and then doing nothing with them). Networking is more about thoughtfulness and follow-up than it is blasting general emails and updated to people who really dont feel like they know you (and dont really care about you). Can an introvert thrive at that stuff? Definitely. Do not hide behind the title/stereotype of being an introvert to think you cannot network. Want a book recommendation?  Here you go: The Successful Introvert, by one of my favorite introverts, Wendy Gelberg. Wendy is the real deal.  Shes introverted.  Shes quiet.  Shes not the one who is at the network meeting shaking everyones hand, smiling at everyone and pretending shes the host. She might walk away from the meeting only having had one or two conversations. But those conversations will have been really good. The people she talked with will have felt cared about.  She will have worked on breaking beyond a superficial relationship and getting to a deeper relationship. She is an introvert who walks her talk, and shes someone you should listen to. You can pick up her book here.

3 Smart Strategies if You Work at Home - Classy Career Girl

3 Smart Strategies if You Work at Home The growing number of people who work at home is increasing every year. Could this mean that working at home will be the future of work as some claim it will be? Let’s leave that question to the experts. For work at home folks like myself, here are a  few important tips to make your time at home and at work worthwhile and productive. Before you give up that day job, make sure you are all set to work at home. If you already are working at home but are finding it hard to maintain clients and stay focused, these tips will help you rise above that stage and get  to a new level where you can really be productive. 3 Smart Strategies if you Work at Home 1. Setup Your Equipment Before you start your first day or get your first client, make sure you have your equipment ready. Make sure your laptop is ready and working very well. You wont have time to waste if it is slow and its definitely worth the investment to upgrade your equipment if you need to.  You dont want to waste time. Another thing you need to ensure is that you wifi is running great and there wont be issues. In certain types of work at home jobs, you will be uploading videos or even creating videos so you have to make sure your upload speed can handle the task you will be doing. If you do not have a reliable internet connection, chances are, you will not finish your job on time and as efficiently as you want. Calls will be interrupted and clients will find it hard to communicate with you. Believe me, I’ve been there. 2. Determine Your Work Hours Designate your work hours ahead of time so you know when you will be working and when you will have personal, fun time. If you dont do this, your personal time will feel like you should be working and then you never get any down time with your family. Let your family (and friends who are likely to bug you because they have no idea of what you are doing at home) know that at certain hours of the day, you are not to be disturbed. I had a struggle with this for a few months when I first started in 2012, but when my family understood that what I was doing was real work like any other job, their cooperation was beyond exceptional! If you want to work flexible hours, look for clients who understand  that arrangement. The goal with  flexible hours is to finish assigned tasks and complete the number of hours required each day at your designated work time. The good thing with having flexible hours is you get to vary your activity for the day. This will help you be more productive and not feel like you’re stuck in a boring routine. If you prefer fixed hours of work, you can find clients who will require you to work with them only during their business hours. So, if you and your client live in different countries, you are most likely to work at night, mid-day, or early morning. I usually take both types of clients. It helps me be on my toes. 3. Designate a Work Space This will have a lot to do with your preference.  In my case, I work wherever I have space I can put my computer on â€" in the kitchen, in my bedroom, in the living room, or even in the bus while traveling. I even had times when I had to work in the hospital beside my child. Don’t get this wrong. Clients want their hires to be professional and to be able to work without distractions. That’s why you have to decide which types of jobs you want to take on. Some  jobs call for a little more formality especially when you are required to take inbound calls or make outbound calls. Here’s what I do â€" if I’m working on my writing jobs, I usually like to get inspiration by going out or talking to people, or even watching a movie (it doesn’t matter what type of movie) before I write. Sometimes, I needed to get some sleep and do my writing when I wake up. So this setup is informal. What about formal setups? For my formal setups where I need to take calls, I have designated work hours like 1PM to 6PM Eastern Standard Time. I make sure I get some rest before my scheduled shift. I also have two kids who may be distractions so at least one hour before my shift, someone has to be at my house to look after them while I work. So, these  few tips  worked well for me. I hope it works for you, too! Remember, your clients deserve your very best. If you cannot commit to their projects,  you wont be able to able to experience the benefits of working at home.

Graduating soon Heres what to do next University of Manchester Careers Blog

Graduating soon Heres what to do next University of Manchester Careers Blog You’re mixed with the feelings of sheer joy and absolute terror at the idea of finishing university;   you are purposefully ignoring the fact that you haven’t started thinking about your career despite your jammy housemate securing a graduate scheme way back in November; you feel a little bit sick at the mere idea of job hunting… sound familiar? If so, weve got the perfect antidote. The Grad Fair 2017 When? Were holding The Grad Fair earlier than ever this year. Having previously been in June each year, weve brought the Fair forward as we found a lot of students were missing it as they had finished their exams, and were off gallivanting around the country celebrating their new found freedom â€" we don’t blame them! So, just so you don’t miss out on this great opportunity, this year it will take place on Thursday 4th May. Swing by any time between 10:30am 4:00pm. Where? The Armitage Centre, Moseley Road, Fallowfield, M14 6HE. Who? From large international companies to small local businesses, there will be a whole range of employment opportunities available, spanning across many different sectors (including postgraduate study)! So far we have over 140 exhibitors confirmed so there really is something for everyone this year. Just to name drop a few, exhibitors will include Abercrombie, Aldi, City Year UK, Civil Service, Dyson, Explore Learning, Havas Lynx, Manchester Enterprise Centre, MediaCom, Teach First, and many more. There’ll also be a whole host of higher education institutions offering postgraduate opportunities. Why? A  hall full of employers, looking to hire graduates? Sounds pretty ideal for anyone who has not yet secured a job! In addition, there may well be opportunities for summer internships, working abroad and some part-time jobs. A few things to remember… Firstly, you are not defined by the degree that you did at university. If you studied Politics, there is no necessity for you to join the local government; if you studied Chemistry, you don’t have to go into Science. The world really is your oyster! The Grad Fair is the ideal place to get a feel for the different sectors and opportunities which are out there. Secondly, the first full-time job you do does not determine the rest of your life. I repeat, the first full-time job you do does not determine the rest of your life. More often than not, the most successful people will have done a series of different jobs which will have equipped them with key transferable skills. Try to attend The Grad Fair with an open mind and don’t be put off by opportunities if they aren’t exactly what you are looking for it may help you get to where you want to be in the end. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, it’s free! We do advise that you register in advance  to obtain a ticket to attend the Fair, although you can register on the day, too. Make sure to join the Facebook event to keep up-to-date with the Fair, and get some useful hints and tips on how to make the most of it. Once you’ve graduated, you might find that opportunities like these specifically tailored to you don’t come around all that often, so we strongly recommend you make the most of it. See you there!

Resume Writing For the Underemployed

Resume Writing For the UnderemployedWhen you are trying to write a resume that will help get you where you want to be in life, you need to consider several things when looking at your alternatives. If you are unemployed, you will likely be living paycheck to paycheck. Therefore, you need to know what it takes to put together a successful resume.The first thing that you should do is to avoid using a 'quick and easy solution' to your resume's appearance. A one page resume is not a very good approach. It is going to be obvious that you are just trying to grab the attention of the company in question. The company is not going to care that you are looking for employment.Now, you need to write your resume in such a way that it appears professional. Do not use anything except your resume writing software. You are probably aware that the resume writing software can make the entire process of the resume creation a breeze. You just need to learn how to use the program properly.The second thing that you need to do is to focus on one aspect of your resume. For example, you may want to make sure that you use the acronym Y for 'Young Adult'. That way, the company will actually know that you are a person in your twenties or thirties. The rest of your resume needs to stay very professional.You may want to add a specific aspect to your resume to let the employer know that you are interested in working. For example, you may use an item to say that you would like to work in customer service. Make sure that you write the sentence properly.The last thing that you need to do when trying to prepare a resume is to add something that has not been there before to your resume. Add a part where you have had some type of experience. For example, you may include information about a project that you completed for a previous employer.The last thing that you should do when trying to prepare a resume for the underemployed is to find out what type of resume writing it is that you would like to d o. For example, if you are a writer, then you should hire a professional resume writer. For those who are not writers, there are many companies that provide the services of an individual who specializes in resume writing. Even though it is important to think about it, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money to get the job done.Resume writing for the underemployed can be difficult but it can be done. If you are willing to put in the time, it is possible to create a resume that is going to get you the job you want. So, be prepared and don't give up!

Land a New Career With the Help of a Mentor (Guest Post by Brian Kurth)

Land a New Career With the Help of a Mentor (Guest Post by Brian Kurth) Brian Kurth joins me today 4pm ET/1pm PT on my radio show  Making a Living.  Im excited to hear his tips on how to find your perfect mentor and have asked him to write a guest post.  Enjoy and heres to you getting the mentoring you need to have your dream job!Changing careers can be scary.   The unknown always generates anxiety, and the “what if’s” can be terrifying.   But, what if you had some help from someone who “had been there, done that” to guide you in the right direction?   What if you had a chance to “test drive” a new career before you take the leap?At any age or current career level, figuring out what ‘you want to be when you grow up’ is a lot easier with the help of a mentor. I’ve seen an architect become a baker; an engineer become a country music songwriter; a marketing executive become a corporate humorist and financial services executives become winemakers and the list of examples goes on and on. Mentorship played an invaluable role in helping th ese people reinvent themselves and make educated, experienced-based decisions in the choice of a new career.  So where are these mentors?   They are everywhere.   They are people who are passionate about what they do and eager to share their experience and insights.   Do your research, learn as much as you can about your dream career and the organizations and businesses in that field.   Then make some contacts.   You will be surprised how many people are open to talking with you about what they do, how they do it, and why they do it.  For example, Jeff Harvey, a recent client of mine, was a stockbroker who wanted to find an encore career that would allow him to “give back” as a social entrepreneur and angel investor.   Specifically, he wanted to help in finding a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a disease from which his grandson suffers.   But where do you start with such a lofty goal?  Jeff did the research to find expert mentors in the field.   He met with angel investo rs to pick their brains and also discovered Dr. Fred Sachs who was doing research in finding a cure for this disease by using tarantula venom (for real!) at The State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo. The two connected….Jeff found his mentor, who ultimately also became his business partner.  Today, Jeff meets weekly with Dr. Sachs and his team.   Using his background in finance, he has helped the group form a company called Rose Pharmaceuticals, and they have started clinical trials.   His dream of becoming an angel investor in a social entrepreneurial firm has been realized.In my opinion, mentorship is at the core to career transitioning.   It allows for an incremental, in-depth, hands-on, ‘test the water’ approach to first discovering what you want to do and then finding out if the water is too hot, too cold or just right. You probably wouldn’t buy something as important as a car without checking it out first….how does it drive, what are owners saying about thei r car?   Right?  So, if you are looking to change careers, invest the time to check out what kind of features, both good and bad, a new career offers by test driving it with an expert behind the wheel to show you how to take the curves and arrive safely.    Make 2010 the year of your personal and professional test-drive.   Get ready to be in the fast lane for career transition.Brian Kurth is the author of Test-Drive Your Dream Job â€" A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding and Creating the Work You Love (Hachette 2008) and is the founder of the career consultancy and mentor recruitment firm, Brian Kurth + Company, and VocationVacations.
