Cynopsis: Classified Advantage
12.18.12

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, December 18, 2012, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!

YouTube It

What if I told you there was a way to get your work seen by the movers and shakers of your industry? What if I told you that you don’t even need to know anyone to do so? Interested? YouTube it.

Your profession is so unique, that you can procure a job in a way that most other industries won’t consider.

Pick a company you want to work for, find out who their top clients are, make a commercial for them and put it on YouTube. If it is good, it will get noticed. YouTube has provided a number of people with a fast track to success. People who have demonstrated their talents on video and uploaded it to YouTube.

Still unsure? Ask the brilliant Bo Burnham, Avery, Alyssa Bernal, Greyson Chance, Andy McKee, Julia Nunes, Cody Simpson or a young man named Justin Bieber.

Now these people are immensely talented, but aren’t you? Can you make a better commercial for that detergent, go ahead. Make that sneaker look better, just do it. Make the burger more delicious, yummy. Where ever your talent lies, show it on YouTube and if it’s really good, it will be noticed.

It’s unlike any other industry, so take advantage. However, there is a downside, albeit small. If it’s terrible, probably no one will take note… probably. However, once you post something, it’s there forever. So get a lot of input and feedback before uploading it.

I’m not suggesting that you give up on the more traditional ways of landing a job, just that this industry allows another avenue that has been somewhat untapped. Be the pioneer, the case study, the benchmark. You are one great idea away from attracting the attention you’ve always wanted.

Good luck and Happy Holidays.

~ACTIONABLE EXPERT ADVICE~
How to Get a Job Using Social Media
by Joel Garfinkle

Social media is everywhere and has spurred a social networking revolution. Although traditional job search tools, and newer job search tools such as online job boards, are still viable means to finding a job, you can now use this new networking technology to help you in your job search. Following are tips you can use to put the power of social media to work in your job search process:

Make an inside connection with the company. The reality is that having an inside connection in a company ups your chances of landing a position. Sometimes it really is all about who you know. Now, thanks to social media, you can make that inside connection easier than ever before. LinkedIn, for example, can help you find out which of your connections have connections at the company to which you want to apply, so they can introduce you. InTheDoor.com makes the connection between the job board, Indeed.com, and your Facebook friends, again letting you know who you know who can give you an inside connection.

Join relevant industry, social media groups. LinkedIn’s Groups are perfect for this. Search LinkedIn’s directory for the groups that are centered on your industry. Join the ones that appear to be active, introduce yourself, and then begin to discuss important topics with like-minded individuals. This can help you be first in line when a position becomes available at the companies of fellow group members.

Stay connected to the companies you’re interested in. Follow the companies you’d like to work for on Twitter and Like them on Facebook. Join in on any discussion that’s relevant to your industry, to begin to make a name for yourself with the company, even before a position is available. When a position does open up, not only will you be first to know by your connectedness to the company, but your potential employer should already of a sense of your expertise level and knowledge from past discussions.

Lastly, ensure you have a professional social media profile. Social media goes both ways. Not only can you find a job using social media, but potential employers can research YOU using social media. An increasing number of companies are using Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to see if there is anything questionable in your profile that may set up red flags. Sites like BranchOut.com, which is used with your Facebook, allows you to create a professional identity within Facebook.

~ASK THE EXPERTS~
Questions from our Readers
Answered by
Joel Garfinkle

How should I handle salary history requests from prospective employers?

If a prospective employer requests a salary history, you definitely want to comply, if you want the position. Although it may be tempting to fluff up your previous salaries  don’t. Most companies won’t give salary information; however, if while checking references the prospective employer finds you’ve lied about your past salary, it could take you out of the running for the position.

If there are any abnormally low salaries in your history, feel free to explain why the salary was so low. Showing that you saw beyond simply a dollar amount on your paycheck and really looked at the opportunity of a position has value to many employers.

What’s the best prep for the hours immediately before the interview?

The best prep for the hours immediately before the interview includes reviewing the resume you submitted. There is nothing more embarrassing then forgetting something on your resume because of nerves. Also, review the job requirements and the information you researched on the company and your interviewer(s). Be sure to have at least three well-thought out questions, to pose to the interviewer. Review your answers to common interview questions, such as what your strengths and weaknesses are.

Review where the interview will be conducted, the time of the interview and how you will get there. Always allow extra time for unexpected delays. Remember, to be early to an interview is on time and to be on time for an interview is late. If you arrive more than ten minutes early, wait outside and away from the front doors and windows or better at a business next door.
