Cynopsis: Classified Advantage 11.09.10 Good morning – it’s Tuesday, November 9, 2010, and this is your weekly issue of Cyn opsis: Classified Advantage! This edition includes the top job listings in the Television, Media and Ad Agency markets, professional development advice from national experts, your Q & A’s with our experts, and a summary of executive moves among top companies. Everyone in the workforce has a desire to be taken seriously, to be considered an able professional. Yet this reputation doesn’t come easily, it’s hard work. You must first see yourself as a serious professional and act in an according manner. If you don’t take yourself seriously, why should anyone else? At Home Peoples’ first impression is based on how you look. Rule of thumb is to always dress for the job you want, not the job you have. This will include spending extra money on clothes, but it is a very good investment. Tone down make-up, jewelry, hair gel etc. Cover up distracting tattoos, clean your shoes and make sure everything is well pressed. Groom yourself as a professional should. Chipped nail polished, overly cologned and wild “Working Girl” hair are big no-no’s. Always go for sophisticated over trendy. Invest in at least three good suits, have them tailored. A beautiful suit can look terrible if it does not fit properly. Make sure all your social media is either professional or invisible to everyone who doesn’t have your permission to see it. Have mints at the ready, coffee breath is a tough thing. Try to avoid gum. Chewers rarely understand how noisy they are while chewing. At the Office After looks, your speaking voice is the most important. If you scream when upset, you will not be taken as seriously as a calm person in the same situation. Those who command with composure will be given the greatest respect, they are leaders. Those who fall apart in tough business situations, will never be true leaders. Be on time and don’t sneak out early. Don’t drink alcohol at lunch. How much confidence do you have in someone who has liquor on their breath? Know your stuff. Do people in the office come to you for advice on a business problem? This is something you should strive for. A sense of company history also commands respect. Never gossip, don’t fall into that trap. Once you’re in, it’s very tough to get out. Don’t just remember things, write them down. Make an appointment with a client, write it down. Boss wants to see you on Tuesday, write it down. Assistant needs to leave early tomorrow, write it down. It gives people a sense of being important when you write down times that concern them. It also gives them confidence that you’ll remember. Take responsibility when things go wrong. Be accountable and never remind people of your accomplishments. If someone questions your judgement, calmly explain the thought process behind your decision. Don’t get defensive. Whenever possible, under sell and over deliver. Personal phone calls should be very brief and kept to a minimum. Don’t do everything yourself, there are other professionals around, allow them to do their job. That being said, pitch in whenever possible. Depending on your job, it may be very important to be friendly without becoming pals. Be a role model, always try to be as professional as you can. Try to talk to others about their job and responsibilities. Don’t suggest unless asked, just listen. This knowledge can only make you better at your job. Be positive and courteous at all times. Think outside the box, but carefully consider all ideas and their consequences before suggesting them. Congratulate others on their good work when appropriate. Give the people you are talking to, your full attention. Don’t sell to the client, solve their problems. Attend to unhappy clients immediately. After Work Use great caution here, many a stellar reputation has died a swift death at happy hours. How many chances do you get after making a fool out of yourself while drinking around work people, for most, none. Save the beers for your buddies or gal pals. If you feel uncomfortable not drinking, a club soda or tonic with lime looks like a number of cocktails. When having lunch with fellow workers, try to keep most of the conversation business based. Normal pleasantries about the family and such is fine, but you don’t want your luncheon partner to assume you’re BFF’s because you occasionally have lunch together. If you have any specific questions or topics of particular interest you’d like our Experts to address, please let me know! You can reach me – John Cox – directly at [email protected] . We are always on the look out for more Experts to advise our readers – if you’re a headhunter, job coach, career advisor, etc., and may be interested in contributing to this edition from time to time, please contact me at [email protected] . Getting the real scoop on a candidate you’re interviewing is not that hard: here are some tips from a pro. Listen up, job seekers. The hiring manager from a Minnesota ad agency told me she starts with a couple of innocent questions: “Did you have trouble finding the office? And how was your commute? You can learn so much right off the bat from these.” Some people launch into a story of how they overslept and missed the train or couldn’t find a parking space. Or that they went past the building three times before they figured out which one it was. Really. They don’t realize that this is neither interesting nor confidence inspiring. Even if you did arrive on time, the details of this triumph are not the story you ought to be telling. Candidates, I suggest that you scout the commute in advance, or at least build in fifteen minutes of slippage time so that you are not flustered when you do make it. The Japanese believe that arriving early is just as rude as arriving late. So they often give themselves a time bumper, and bring a book to read in a coffee shop or on a park bench – then they walk in right on the dot. So what does she ask after the how-did-you-get-here test? “I ask if you’ve done your homework on our company, and before I start my questions, do you have any questions about us? And then I ask if the job description makes sense to them.” Their answers give a good indication of how they will approach the job. Then one more revealing question: she asks people if they are comfortable being out in front, or if they prefer to work behind the scenes; in a team or a solo. “And when they tell me I ask them why.” The right questions from the interviewer beyond the substance of work history and accomplishments, can elicit so much about the candidate’s attitude and confidence. These answers provide the first impression: the frame for everything that follows. They are extremely important indicators of how the candidate will perform and fit in. This recruiter keeps the job description in front of her during the interview so she can be sure she remains focused on the needs of the position and the tone of the company. Just as the candidate should have clearly in mind how they want to be perceived, so too does the interviewer. “So did you have trouble finding us today?” Michael Pollock is President of Pollock Spark ( www.pollockspark.com ).

If you have any specific questions you’d like our Experts to address, please email them to me, John Cox at [email protected]. Is it okay to ask a company why I wasn’t given the position I interviewed for? Is this a standard business practice? This is not standard practice and in fact will make the company very uncomfortable, which is not a good thing. If they choose to tell you that you could be a stronger coder, or have more beauty experience or whatever, then they will tell you. But often there is not a clear answer to why and so they will be reluctant to try to verbalize it. They might have thought you were great but they liked someone else a bit better but they can’t really say why. Maybe their system rests on a series of point ratings from a number of interviewers and you just didn’t come out on top – the details would be mind-numbing and unhelpful. There may have been a division of opinion between the various interviewers. In no case are they going to want to expose that, and even if they did it is not likely to be actionable information for you and will probably not be relevant to the next job application. So have other opportunities in the pipeline, move on to the next one and keep doing your best. Besides industry specific language, are there key words I should be using in an interview? Beyond showing that you understand the business and can speak the lingo, then it’s your key attitudes that are important rather than particular words. Show passion. Show keenness to work. Say that you would be excited to help building their business if that might apply. Show that you understand the nuances of how things work at their company or at least are interested in finding out how they do things. If you have identified an area that your interviewer is excited about be curious or excited about it yourself. Have great brief specific examples of your successes ones that are relevant to the job. You should be telling them of the value that you and you alone can bring to them, and if you are focused on using the same exact key words that everyone else is using then you run the risk of sinking into the morass and of not standing out.
