Cynopsis: Classified

 

Advantage

07/26/11

Good morning – it’s Tuesday, July 26, 2011, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage! 

Get Over Yourself

Want a job? Get over yourself!  Forget about how perfect it would be to work for a particular company, because they don’t care what you think.  And a big secret is, you shouldn’t either.

Throughout the entire hiring process, if you do anything from your point of view, forget it.  Everything you do should be from the prospective of the employer.  Your resume and cover letter has to state why the company should hire you, what benefit do you bring to the company. 

I see so many resumes that describe how much they want to work for a particular company.  Fine, next.  Companies don’t care what you want, certainly not at this point.  What companies care about is what you can do for them.  So tell them.

Take another look at your resume and cover letter.  Read it as if you owned the company you are applying to.  Do these documents make a compelling case as to why the company should hire you?  Enthusiasm isn’t enough, not anymore.  Spell it out, in bullet points, this is what I can do for you.  Underneath, explain how or why you do it better than most.  But first and foremost, answer the big question every company is asking, “Why should we hire you?”

Want to be the first resume tossed?  Bullet point how great it would be for you to get hired.  It may sound ridiculous, and many readers may be wondering who would ever do that? And the answer is, way too many of you. 

To get hired, you have to, once again, think like the boss.  Write your resume and cover letter, like the boss.  Make the boss want to hire you.  In other words, think of yourself as a consultant, whose only job is to help the company.  This idea has been discussed in this publication before, but it bears repeating. 

Distinguish yourself from the average applicant, you are here to help the company, not the other way around.

~ ACTIONABLE EXPERT ADVICE ~
Employers Could be Looking For You Right Now
by Michael Pollock

If you think that to get a new job you have to apply for it, think again.  Employers are actively searching for candidates who may not even be looking.   So make sure they can find you and when they do, what they find is current and detailed.

I spoke to an Executive Recruiter (I’ll call her Jane) who is a specialist in searching for qualified candidates.   “We mainly use LinkedIn. A lot of people don’t want to post their resumes on Career Builder or Monster because their employers could potentially see it.  LinkedIn is a way to get around that.”

The Boolean search methodology employed uses three main connectors along with the keyword criteria:  AND, OR and NOT.   “If you search for strategic AND marketing, then both of those words have to show up.  If you use OR, then search results will have to have one or the other.  I try to be creative with the keywords that I choose.  These words could appear anywhere. They could be in a ten-year-ago chronological entry, or they could appear in skills and specialties.”

Another media business recruiter told me “Creative talent and production searches have an extra level of requirements. I look for the right agencies, clients, types of projects, but their actual range of work and depth can only be evaluated based on how a portfolio is organized. I search portfolio sites and use social media to share my requirements with the universe.  This gets me the greatest exposure to both passive and active seekers. I’m highly targeted, so their experience has to be clear in how it ties to an opening.”

Once Jane’s search turns up people who meet her requirements, she looks at their current position.  “The job you’re doing now is really important.  And the summary is the next go-to.   Both should be filled out to the greatest extent. I’m more inclined to reach out to people who have a lot more description in what their position is; and not just the current one, but previous positions.”

She gets in touch to find out if the person is interested. “I pretty much pick anyone who’ll talk to me that I feel is somewhat qualified.”  She forwards a resume along with a report on her conversation to the hiring manager.  “The resume is really the tool to pass on. So it’s helpful for it to have lots of details.”

Of the two recruiters I’ve quoted here, one is currently working to fill 25 open positions; the other has over 55.  So get your LinkedIn profile up-to-date, it could be working for you while you sleep.

Questions from our Readers
Answered by Michael Pollock

There is a vague HR policy regarding conflict of interest in terms of doing work on the side. I’ve dreamed of working as an independent for years but since I work full time for this station I cannot work on developing clients. Now that rumors are indicating layoffs, am I justified to pursue my own clients?

If you have signed on to a conflict of interest policy either explicitly or implicitly then you should clear any side gigs with the HR folk.  You don’t want them coming after you later, or calling your clients, who being risk averse would probably walk away.  If your side clients would not be a conflict then your station should not be bothered by this as long as they are getting the usual 110% of your attention for the job they are still paying you for.  

However does simply developing clients fall under the policy?  If you are not yet actually working for them and you are not compromising an opportunity for your station, it may not be an issue and you may not need to raise any flags yet – this depends of course on the specifics of the policy your company has in place. 

One other thing – it sounds as if you are expecting to be a casualty of the layoffs.  What if you went to your management and said “I know you are going to have to lay people off – would you consider offering a sweeter retirement package if I went voluntarily?”  This might be attractive to them as it could save them costs and potential liabilities and litigation.  Just a thought.

I have been thinking about getting out of the media business all together and starting over, which is not easy but may be necessary if the video business doesn’t pan out. How do I create a cover letter that acknowledges my exclusive experience in video while communicating that those skills do translate in to other fields?

You should start by carefully researching the field you want to enter and look at jobs available and the way they are described.  Then review all your work history and other experience through the eyes of someone hiring for these positions. 

For this exercise strip away the overarching “broadcast/video” words and see what else there is.  Some examples might be project management, operations, food, sports, history, global, crisis management, PR, advertising, sales, technology etc. 

See which niches and experiences relate to the new target business and describe your experience accordingly.   You should say clearly why you are excited to bring these valuable skills to the new field  this would the way to frame your approach.
