A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM INSTITUTE FOR MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT
What’s Your Digital Strategy?
If you don’t have one, your business might not have a future Learn to develop strategies that will help your company stay competitive ******** Advanced Digital Media Strategies ******** Previous participants of IME programs include executives from Time Warner, Disney, NBC Universal, Google, Microsoft, Viacom, Discovery, and others. Cynopsis: Classified Advantage Good morning – it’s Tuesday, October 12, 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. Before looking for a job, you must conduct a number of interviews before going on any interviews yourself. You must get references. This process can take a lot of time (months), so make sure you start early. Your references will have to write a recommendation letter and most likely answer questions about you. These are both time consuming activities. You want to make sure the people who will act as your references have absolutely no reservations about doing so. You want to allow these prospects every opportunity to decline. How you ask someone to be your reference can go a long way in allowing this. Instead of just asking if someone will be your reference, you should be more specific, and provide the opportunity for a person to opt out for reasons other than personal. For example: Do you feel you know enough about my work performance to write an in-depth and valid recommendation and answer any questions about my job performance and work habits that a prospective employer may ask? You ideally want three to five references from people who can speak to your strengths and know enough about you to answer questions about your work history and habits. Co-workers, good. Supervisors, better. Bosses, best. Family, never, unless you work for them. If you pick only co-workers for your references, the prospective employer might assume you did not get along with management. Try to make your references as current as possible. Again, the omission of people tells a story. Former clients can be used as references, but be careful. If they are called and don’t know much about you, it will work against you. When you ask someone to be a reference, also ask if they will make themselves available to potential employers. Nothing worse than listing someone as a reference but no one can contact them. After a great interview, contact your references and tell them of your progress. Your excitement should add to their commitment to help you. Carefully read over all the recommendations you receive. If one of your references is trying to help you by adding to the truth, ask them to correct it. Exaggerations, if found, will destroy any chances you had at getting the job. Never put someone down as a personal reference without their knowledge. Always send a very gracious thank you letter out to the people who agree to be your references. Add a copy of your resume and cover letter, so everybody is talking about the same thing. Your reference contact sheet should include the people’s full name, company, title at company, address of company, email and telephone number. Verify all contact information of your references, and ask them to contact you if any of the information changes. The level of comfort that someone has for being your reference will determine their enthusiasm while communicating about you. It is vital that you pick people who are truly in your corner. Economic News Though the headlines last week read “an additional 95,000 jobs lost,” most of these jobs were Government jobs being cut back and the loss of Census 2010 workers (159,000). Private sector jobs actually increased, though modestly, adding an additional 64,000 jobs in September. Next week: References: Part 2 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] . You know how in brainstorming or ideation sessions a facilitator will tell you that there are no bad ideas and that all ideas that surface should be kept on the table and considered? Well that kind of positivity is needed when you are searching for a job or considering a career change. You should make that rule for yourself there are no bad ideas. Not if you have them, not if your partner, or friend, or colleague, or mother has them. Note them all down. When the new idea or suggestion comes to you, give it thought respect it. Don’ t deny it out of hand or knee-jerk the response “Oh that will never work, that’ s not right for me.” Instead say to yourself, “Ah yes, I see, and this is how maybe this could work for me.” If you were thinking about a career change, ask your friends what their friends do and put these occupations on a list. If you are looking for a job, look at different sections of the listings, or different job categories and put them on your list. Then debate them with yourself. Review the list of the ideas and put three pros and three cons against each of them. See what happens. Debate them with yourself. When I was a kid we were taught to debate: traditional formal debating. This was a big deal, part of the curriculum, not just an after-school club for people who liked the sound of their own voice. We had to be able to argue persuasively on either side of any argument regardless of our prejudices and preconceptions. This is the attitude I ask you to bring to this exercise. Consider all the options on your list. Work hard at finding reasons why each one is a good idea and how it could work for you and only then work at sorting out the ones that rise to the top or show some potential. This kind of thinking will open your mind to possibilities you hadn’ t considered. This is designed to bring ideas to the surface that may have been submerged below some of your personal default positions that are out of date, or have run their course. Remember your initial response should be that there are no bad ideas and try to see how each of them would work. Open your mind to something new. Stretch the possibilities. Most people do jobs you have never heard of. Pull yourself out of any rut you might have inadvertently gotten yourself into and imagine the sky is the limit. There are no bad ideas.

If you have any specific questions you’d like our Experts to address, please email them to me, John Cox at [email protected]. I recently went to an interview for a job I really wanted at a big network. After the HR Rep introduced me to the interviewer, he proclaimed he had just got back from vacation the day before and was exhausted from all his backed up work load. We proceeded to have a good interview but I could tell from his constant e-mail and phone checking that he was not really interested in dealing with an interview that day. My question is, How do I get around that situation and stand out? Make a little extra effort to follow up with some substance about your conversation. Was there something he asked you about that would warrant some additional response some further research you have done that could flesh out an answer? Perhaps you could suggest that this new information would warrant a second brief meeting. Can you get any feedback from the HR person who may be aware of his inattention? Perhaps you could suggest to the HR person that you would be happy to come by for a second meeting. I’ve read theories that there are better days, and even better times of the day to get interviewed. Any truth to this? There are indeed many theories on this and if you read them you will be as confused by their contradictions as I am. There are two key components to an interview. The interviewer and the candidate. You probably know what times of day you are at your best: when your brain functions properly and your mouth is working. This is almost certainly not just after you have eaten, when your blood is engaged in digestive activities. So now think about the interviewer. Are they a morning person? You don’t really know, right? How could you? You don’t know if she is interviewing candidates all day or seeing a person here and there in her otherwise crazed schedule. So how can you know when is their best time? You could guess that you don’t want to be the first person seen for a job, because they are just figuring out what they need. But how would you know whether you are the first or the twenty-first? You could guess that you don’t want to be seen just before lunch because the interviewer will have their eye on the door. But really, how can anyone know these things. I suggest that if you have the choice, you pick a day and time that will have you at your peak. As for second guessing the biorhythms and workload of the interviewer, I would rather you spent that energy crafting your story, researching the company, thinking of the insightful questions you are going to ask. Then even if their blood sugar is down, you can get them engaged with you and impress them with your substance and neutralize the day-part fatigue they may or may not be subject to.
