Cynopsis: Classified

Advantage

02/01/11

Good morning – it’s Tuesday, February 1, 2011, and this is your weekly issue of Cyn opsis: Classified Advantage! 

My Apologies to Mr. Kipling

If you can keep your wits when all about you
Are losing theirs jobs, including you;
If you can trust yourself when interviewers doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can be patient and yet, continue to endure,
Or, being ignored, don’t become benign,
Or, feeling invisible, stand tall and remain assured,
And yet don’t become arrogant, nor talk of negative times;

If you can hope – and not make hope your work;
If you can think – and speak well when in the flame;
If you can meet with CEO and clerk;
And respect those two just the same;
If you can bear to hear the job was given to another
and have no ill will to the one who made the choice,
Or watch the career you gave your life to smothered,
And stoop and start again from nothing but your voice;

If you can make one writing of all your winnings
And send it out time and time again,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never allow your confidence to wain;
If you can force your heart, belief and all you know
To serve your turn long after all hope is gone,
And step forward and try again when there is nothing more to show
Except the will which says to them: “Move on”;

If you can take care of your household,
even when others think you should run;
If even loving-friends have nothing to dole;
and yet still all count on you, to work until the work is done;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ of why you’re the one –
When the worst cannot defeat you,
no matter what has happened, you will have won.

Next Issue: Impossible

For every job you apply for, you should have a contact inside that company. This contact will hand deliver your resume to the hiring manager. This is the number one way to find a job. It’s been proven to be more successful with my clients than any other networking idea or concept.

If you apply for a job without a key contact, your chance of getting an interview (and job) goes down 95 percent. You just become another resume sitting in a pile with nothing helping you stand out.

When an “insider” delivers your resume, your credibility soars. And if that person puts in a good word about you, you’re almost guaranteed an interview.

Finding an internal advocate isn’t as daunting or impossible as it may first appear.

In fact, I’d estimate that 80 to 90 percent of my clients have been successful by using these six steps:

1. Identify the specific companies you want to work for.
Target the exact companies that fit the work you want to do. You might choose 4-5 companies in one industry. The more companies you select that fit your criteria, the more opportunities you will have.

2. Spread the word to your network.
Begin by telling everyone you know about the work you want to do and that you would appreciate their help. This includes your family, relatives, friends of parents, neighbors, former employees, alumni from your college and professional organization members.

3. Discover your invisible network.
Your network is larger than you think. Take at least ONE TO TWO FULL DAYS brainstorming to expand your network. Go through your high school or college yearbooks looking for familiar faces. Think about people who aren’t your friends, but your life touches theirs. People like barbers or hairdressers, bartenders, your trainer at the gym, the mailman, your insurance agent, your doctor or dentist. People who are in sales or service jobs typically have extensive networks. And since you’re a customer, they’ll be more likely to return the favor.

4. Network THEIR network.
Ask for people to give you contacts who just know a lot of people in and around your industry. You’ll be surprised how often this leads to a job opportunity.

5. Ask them to make an introduction.
Chances are one of these people knows someone inside the company you want to work for. Ask them to make an introduction to the person who is hiring in the positions you want.

6. Don’t let geography stand in your way.
When you find someone who works for a large organization with multiple offices and they don’t know anyone in the specific division you want to work for, don’t let that stop you from leveraging them as a key internal contact. They are still peers who work for the same company. They can contact the hiring manager and say, “I work in the Chicago office and I have a friend of mine in your city who I want you to consider for the position.” Even though your contact doesn’t know this person, it’s still a personal introduction that will get you the interview and then the job.

Once you’ve found the insider, make sure your cover letter is addressed to the hiring manager. This will be a small thing that will help you stand out from the other applicants who say “to whom it may concern.” In your cover letter mention the contact that made the introduction and state the areas that make you qualified for the position.

Everything you do is about making a personal connection. Whether it’s the person inside the company who delivers the resume, or the cover letter that is personalized, both will make it a customized first impression. While everyone else is staying general or generic, you are specific and personal. This will get you noticed.

A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM BATTLE OF THE BANDS: ROCK THE DECADES

I have an interview coming up and I always seem to fumble on the weakness/area of improvement question. Can you offer any advice as to what the interviewers are looking for?

This interview question is a quick way for the employer to assess whether you are a good candidate or not. You can get eliminated pretty quickly if you stumble or answer incorrectly.

I suggest bringing up an area of weakness that isn’t a glaring flaw. Then explain to the interviewer how you’ve ALREADY overcome it and what you specifically have done to turn this weakness into a strength.

For example, you might say that you had trouble speaking before groups, but you joined Toastmasters or took a training class and now you feel confident when giving presentations.

What is your opinion of resumes being longer than 1 page (2-3 pages)?

It’s a myth that you should restrict yourself to one page. In today’s competitive marketplace it’s essential to show all your expertise, experience and overall impact in prior jobs. Your experience and accomplishments will dictate the length of the resume.

Ideally, I recommend two pages. However, don’t just add fluff. If you have only enough information for one page that will be fine.

You’ll learn salary negotiation strategies to help you get the pay, benefits and perks that you deserve. Order Get Paid What You’re Worth which is jam-packed with insider tips and salary negotiation secrets.
