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, September 28, 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. I was a Health & Physical Education major in college. Many of the core professors outside of my major considered all H & PE majors, idiots. And to be fair, many of us were. The professors contempt for us was not hidden or shied away from. It was brutal and constant. It was an upsetting and depressing experience. Until one wonderful English professor suggested that I use their own ignorance against them. Play the stupid jock yet hand in good work. She said, “they’ll either reward you greatly, or think you were cheating.” She was right. Bad people stereotype, good people make assumptions. It may sound different but the end result is the same. Each are creating a simplified and standardize images. When you go for an interview, the interviewer makes assumptions (stereotypes) about how good of a worker you’ll be based on what you say and how you say it, your appearance, your manner and your resume/cover letter. Instead of being appalled, use it to your advantage. Learn everything you can about the company and it’s culture. Become the person that the interviewer envisions as the perfect employee through dress, appearance and vocabulary. Come across like you’ve been working there for years. Make the interviewer comfortable with you. One of the best ways of achieving this is by mirroring, an advanced form of non verbal communication. Mirroring occurs when one person copies another person, including but not limited to: gestures, body movements, expressions, language and pitch and tone of voice. It can often be observed among close friends or couples. No Groucho and Harpo Marx with a fake mirror; it’s a subtle and delayed (about 10 seconds) movement that resembles though, is not an exact copy, of the other person’s body language. It’s important to note that while your gestures are conscious ones, theirs will be sub-conscious. If your attempts to mirror become obvious, the other person will suddenly feel uncomfortable with their own movements and then, very uncomfortable with you, you will achieve the exact opposite of what you wanted. This technique works because it’s what naturally occurs when people bond. It’s harder than it seems, so practice, a lot. Successful salesmen have been using this technique for years. When you’re proficient at mirroring, once into a conversation, you can introduce a new gesture that has yet to be used. If the other person responds by copying the gesture, you have started the bonding process and are closer to getting the job or closing the sale. Next week: My Friend Bob 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] . If you are looking to advance your career, make business connections, or even keep your eyes open for new job opportunities, social media is rapidly becoming the go-to tool. These days, more and more recruiters, hiring managers and decision makers are using social media regularly to search for talent. Just think – it was only 2007 when social networks took off. Now memberships around the world are in the multi-millions. At last check, Facebook had more than 400 million users worldwide and in Los Angeles specifically, it is estimated to be about 1/10 of that. In order to build, grow and sustain your career, you need to create a strategy; and using social networks is a key tactic. So, how do you build your career using social networks? Here are a few tips to get you started:
Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary to be on every social media network site known to man. It is best to be strategic and use social media networks wisely. Recruiters and hiring managers are overwhelmed by sifting through thousands of resumes per day. Choose the right networking tools and use them wisely. You will build credibility and an online presence that is – classic.

If you have any specific questions you’d like our Experts to address, please email them to me, John Cox at [email protected]. As part of my current Sales & Marketing job search, I’m hoping to relocate from the East Coast to the West Coast. Unfortunately, I’ve had friends tell me that in many cases, larger companies that use resume filters will typically filter out my application right off the bat due to my out-of-town residency, so as to not have to deal with relocation expenses with a new hire. Weather or not a company would be willing to provide a relocation stipend is not necessarily a make-it or break-it requirement for me, since I am so eager to relocate; I’d be willing to negotiate that in the hiring process. As a result, some have suggested I provide a local address (perhaps a personal friend who currently lives on the West Coast, given their permission) on my resume in order to ensure that I don’t face that initial barrier from ever having my resume and cover letter even seen. If, at that point, I ended up getting a call back, I could then explain my situation and the fact that I’d be willing to fly out for an interview and relocate if/when the time came. Similar to today’s piece however, I don’t want to have to lie on a resume (even if it is just about my current location) but at the same time, I also don’t want my resume to get filtered due to that single circumstance, which I’m eager to change in the first place. Any advice on how to handle such a situation? I am sure that there are some companies, due to budgeting, filter out resumes that are from out of town and if that is the case, those are not the companies for you anyway. However there are many more large companies who are searching for the very best candidates and are willing to search the country (or even the world) for that candidate. Those are the companies that would be for you. In other words, if you resume matches exactly what they are looking for, residency doesn’t matter. I would not advise putting a local address on your resume if you live in another city. It can come off as dishonest to recruiters and put you in a negative light if they wanted to schedule an interview with you. What you should do is write a good cover letter showcasing your qualifications and interest in the role as well as your desire to relocate to the West Coast. Honesty and transparency goes a long way. For the last 5 weeks I’ve been flooding the internet with my resume and have not received one phone call or email from anyone with interest in hiring me. Assuming I’ve followed all the fundamentals of a perfect resume and cover letter, how do I stand out from the rest? Maybe I should remove my logo from my resume or perhaps add a photo so they have a face with a name. Finally, is it acceptable for graphic designers to add a little subtle color vs. just a black and white document? Try creating a very targeted strategy for getting your resume out there. “Flooding the internet with your resume” is obviously not working, so try targeting specific industries, a specific job title or a particular interest. Make sure you read the job description and make sure that your resume reflects the requirements. Also, I would suggest making sure your resume resonates with key words that recruiters are looking for such as “internet savvy” or experience with “trend technology.” Use branding titles like, “Dynamic Design Diva” or “Marketer with Moxie” to help your resume stand out a little more. Adding a little color and design elements for designer resumes are fine, but sometimes the formatting doesn’t translate well on some job boards or on a company’s candidates search program. See what the format requirements are and plan accordingly. I’m applying for jobs online. Many of which specifically state “No Phone Calls.” However, after sending a resume, I typically like to follow up about a week later to ask if the resume was received, if there are specific qualifications the employer is looking for and if there’s something more I can send. Is this okay to do? I’ve received some negative responses and a mention of “The ad said: No calls.” So … is it appropriate to call even though the ad says “No Phone Calls”??? If the job ad says, “No Phone Calls,” then follow the instructions. If a recruiter or hiring manager is interested in your resume and wants to learn more, they will call you. Calling them is a sure way for them NOT to call you.
