How to Build Better Business Relationships This Holiday Season

How to Build Better Business Relationships This Holiday Season Recruitment is not the industry it was 20 years ago. I know, because that is when I started in the industry full-time. Two week turnaround times on shortlists, 9-5.30/6pm hours, fax machines the norm, emails and mobile phones just starting to become effective mediums to carry out business.  Now it is full throttle â€" contactable 18 hours a day, turnarounds of a couple of days and competition fierce. No wonder it is harder and harder to find the time to build those relationships with your clients. You know â€" those relationships that are so strong you are always the go-to person for that new job and you might even have the luxury of messing up your search from time to time.   Take advantage of Christmas when it is supposed to be quieter. Actually in reality, we have found the last two years to be almost as busy in terms of the number of new requirements coming in and it is just the candidate flow that dries up. Which means it takes more time to fill a job as you have to extend your tentacles into areas of the market rarely visited! So you dont end up having much more time at all… But you may have 5% more time and that is all you need. Whether you send a Christmas card, meet for lunch or a coffee, you have an excuse to reach out and wish your client a happy Christmas.  Whats more, they may not be so busy and be more receptive to a call from you. The Christmas period is also a time for recruiters to plan ahead for the next year. How are you going to grow your desk and bill more? Perhaps you are going to do more marketing? If so, why dont you start these projects now? Be ahead of the game. If you are a company of a reasonable size and have enough data to produce a salary survey for your clients, then write this now so that you can publish it first thing in the new year. A good marketing tool! Think about your candidates too. Yes, at this time of year candidates are putting their job search on hold so they can enjoy the lead up to Christmas but drop them a line and check out their plans for next year. Again, this will help you start the New Year with a bang and youll be a step ahead of the market. Now is a great time to catch up on all those candidate care initiatives if you can. What can you do to help your candidates with their search and further build relationships in the process? Can you offer some training or help with CV writing? Collect feedback from you candidates (and clients too!). How have they found your service over the last 12 months and how are you rating against your competitors? How can you improve over the next year? It takes a special consultant to be this proactive and introspective, but I promise you, it will set you apart from the competition. And it is a great marketing exercise too! About the author: David Morel is the CEO/Founder of Tiger Recruitment, one of London’s leading secretarial/administrative recruitment agencies.

5 Tips If You Are A Serious Job Seeker

5 Tips If You Are A Serious Job Seeker The following is a guest post by Cornelia Shipley. Her bio follows. If you are looking to expand your impact as a leader and reach a new level of professional success, resolve to incorporate the following into your job search. Upgrade your mindset. You will only attain the level of success you think you are worth.   Have unshakable confidence in your abilities, and practice self-care through the job search process.   You will be told no during the process.   Don’t get caught up in this negativity; move on from disappointment quickly, so that when the right opportunity does come along, you are ready to rise to the occasion. Clarify the job you want. It is easy to be drawn to a leadership position because of an attractive job title or perceived prestige.   Be honest with yourself about the work and impact you want to have on a daily basis.   If a job listing does not seem like it can deliver on your desire, move on.  No matter how great the title would look on your resume.   Once you are clear on the type of work you want to be doing, be able to give specific examples of what you can deliver in this area to prospective employers. Commit to strategic networking. Once you’ve figured out what you want to do, put yourself in the places and spaces that will help you interact with those who can move you into the position quickly.   Industry-specific events are a great starting point. Don’t discount the power of a strong and dynamic LinkedIn profile in making and maintaining fruitful connections.   People hire people they know, like, and trust.   Put yourself in situations where those with the power to hire you can increase their level of knowledge and trust in you and your ability. Make sure your social media is appropriate. Take a look at your online profiles and make sure that your digital footprint is consistent with your professional brand. On LinkedIn, get as many endorsements as possible for the skills necessary for your career success.   On platforms like Facebook and Twitter, work toward a balance of sharing your personality while maintaining a level of professional decorum.   Find ways to reflect who you are without seeming controversial or unpredictable. Be consistent. Looking for a job is, in itself, a full-time job.   Wake up every morning treating your job search as your full time job if you are unemployed.   Craft a plan that helps you consistently apply these principles of success.   Know how you are going to leverage your resources.   Leverage your personal network to connect with hiring managers and other influencers.   Most important, once you have identified your goals, be tenacious in your zeal to achieve them. BIO Cornelia Shipley is a best selling author, thriving entrepreneur, dynamic speaker and executive coach.  She    is known for empowering people to achieve their peak performance, strategically plan for the future, and ultimately create a life and work that REALLY work!

How to Have a Joyful Brand Despite Economic Uncertainty - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

How to Have a Joyful Brand Despite Economic Uncertainty - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I spoke with Lisa Earle McLeod, who is a writer, speaker, and author specializing in humor business coaching and spirituality attainment. A lot of people are feeling depressed, anxious and under pressure right now, so I figured I would interview Lisa, who will cheer you right up. We discuss how humor can help you in the workplace, how to write for magazines (this is huge for personal branding/getting your name out there), and what you can do to fight the economy with a smile on your face. Lisa, when trying to get a message across, how does humor either help or hurt your cause? In what situations can it make you relate to someone and when do you look not as serious/lose your audience? Humor helps open peoples minds. Scientific studies show that when youre laughing, your brain is literally more open, the little receptors in your brain are all lit up, and its easier to receive new information. Humor allows you to address touchy topics in front of a group, like change and performance problems. When you use yourself as the funny example is breaks down peoples resistance, they relate and they see that they share some of the counterproductive behaviors you;re laughing about. Humor allows you to be with your audience, rather than preaching at them or lecturing. Good humor is always based in the truth; its when you comment on the disconnect between what we pretend to be and what we really are. Where humor poses a challenge is in the marketing. When people people see your funny side, they often think thats all you are, a comedian. So its a challenge to marry subject matter expertise with humor on the front end, its not hard to do in a 45 minute keynote, but its harder to capture on your home page or one sheet. In my case, our marketing materials refer to me as an Inspirational Humorist. Humor is the delivery vehicle, however, the actual subject matter is sales, leadership, productivity, and all the self-created angst that holds people and organizations back (a subject I consistently find both fascinating and hilarious) The other challenge with humor, to be quite frank, is that some people are just so uptight they refuse to laugh. Of course, these are usually the very people who cause the most problems in organizations, because they are hell-bent in making everyone else as miserable as they are. They occupy what I call The Cubicle of Darkness. Ive gotten to the point where I can spot them pretty early. I try to give them special attention, to bring them along, because I find that behind all their negativity they often have a good grasp of the facts. My job is to help them realize that understanding the facts doesnt mean that you have to spend your days painting the doom and gloom picture for everyone else. A lot of my readers are interested in how to get opportunities, such as writing articles for magazines. How does one go about discovering and pitching to get something like that? The first thing you have to do is pretty simple, write the damn articles. You cant pitch unless you have some example of your work. Sure, Suze Orman or John Grisham could call up some magazine editor and say Id like write and article for you, heres my idea, and bingo, bango, theyve got a deal. But unless youre a well-known expert or writer, you need some samples. My best advice is write five articles, and get them posted everywhere, and I do mean everywhere. Put them on every web site you can find, sites are always looking for content, and yes, you do have to give it away in the beginning. Then once you have yourself on the web, try pitching some magazine editors. But you have to do your homework first, READ THE MAGAZINE! I have several editor friends and they are always amazed at how many people pitch them without even understanding the voice of the magazine. Theres a big difference between newspapers, which are a collection of voices, and magazines, which usually have one an overarching voice or theme. Any tips for people who are lost in life and are desperately looking to find themselves? Welcome to the club. In todays environment people are questioning everything. People who once thought they were secure and had a life plan are now finding themselves broke. Relationships that seemed stable are crumbling in the face of stress. Personally, I think the problem is much bigger than a financial crisis. I think were in a spiritual crisis that has caused a financial crisis, meaning that we are having a crisis of spirit. The secret of happiness is really simple, its two things : You need to be connected to the people around you, and to know that youre part of something bigger than yourself. Thats the only one way out of the angst, youve got to get present in the moment youre in and you have find a higher purpose in your life, it doesnt have to be huge, it can be a simple as being a good parent, but part of our soul knows that it can never be all about you. When we feel lost its because we are experiencing between our souls and our actions. Our souls are yearning for a larger purpose, but we continue to focus on things that dont matter, or we fail to see the meaning of the daily things that do matter, and so the heartache in our souls continues to gnaw away at us, and it spills out to everyone else around us. [youtube=http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=lKFcjcpMnKw] Is there such thing as a perfect life? If youre waiting for the day when you have no stress and problems, then no. Were all waiting for that magic moment when we have no stress, no problems and no responsibilities, but the only time youre going to have that is when youre drooling in a nursing home, and your kids are feeding your pureed prunes. You werent sent to earth to have the perfect house, or the prefect car, or the perfect body. You were sent to earth to learn to love and to be loved, its quite simple, and your life circumstances are set up to help you do just that. Every challenge that you face is an opportunity to grow, as trite as this sounds, your whole purpose on this plan is to master the art of love. The bigger the challenge, the bigger the lesson. Life can be perfect, in the sense that you can enjoy and be grateful for every moment. But only if you accept life or what it is, a series of ups and downs, some of which will be pleasurable, some of which will be painful. But your life will never look like a TV commercial, or a Hallmark card and the more you judge it by those externally set standards. the unhappier you will be. What can someone do to have a cheerful holiday season, despite massive layoffs and economic uncertainties? Thats a tough one, if youre struggling for food and shelter, its probably hard to feel grateful. However, having said that, gratitude and being present in the moment is the only way to have a happy holiday. Yes, the economy is tanking, you may even be out of a job and facing foreclosure or bankruptcy, and yes, your circumstances may get worse before they get better. (Trust me, my husband and I own our own business, a sign business that is closely tied to the economy, so our future is just as uncertain as everyone elses.) But you have this day; this is the only day of the year when your kids will be the age they are right now, this is the only time in your marriage when you and your spouse will have been married this long, and this is the only time when your parents and friends will ever be this young again. So now matter how many problems youre plagued with right now, theres probably part of your life that is still very special, so thats the part you need to hold onto, because you will never get this time back. So yes, look for work, try to get your business back on track, and do whatever you can during your waking hours to improve your situation, but dont let your problems define you. Because youre not going to get a do-over on this stage of your life, EVER, and it would be a huge mistake to allow money worries to ruin it for you. Happy Holidays 2008. May whatever version of faith fulfills you and whatever version of family sustains you be with this holiday season, and may you find grace, peace and joy in the year to come.

Why Do You Work

Why Do You Work We’re closing in on the end of the year, and that’s always a stressful time at work. The pressure’s dialed up on those projects or deals with a yearend deadline. You’re writing up evaluations of others and worrying about how you’ll fare in the evaluation process yourself. Maybe you’re struggling to negotiate for next year’s budget and headcount. At the same time, you’re probably thinking about what else you need to do to position yourself for pay and promotion, and being extra cautious not to make any mistakes that might ruin an otherwise solid year. On top of that, there’s what’s happening on the home front as the holiday season nears. Why are you doing this? It’s times like these when we feel the daily work pressures and tensions the most. Worse yet, we get sucked into the hamster wheel of “do-do-do” to simply get things done. Being in that mode makes it hard to remember why we’re doing this work in the first place. This makes it the perfect time to step back from the craziness of the season and carve out the time and space to take a broader view of things. In particular, to remind yourself of why you choose to do the work you are doing. It’s not “just” the money This came up last week at a series of workshops I facilitated in London, Leeds and Manchester. They were for “graduates” of a leadership and career development course my partner and I previously led. As we discussed their successes and lessons learned from the course, a major theme was on the value of taking time to step back from the day job to reflect. One of the participants brought up the point that we get so busy, we forget why we work. Of course we need to earn a living. But for most, if not all of us, there’s more to it than “just” the money. Each of us has a different mix of what we want out of our work. I’ve heard a range of other benefits people seek, including the: Camaraderie of being part of a team Opportunity to use your best strengths on a daily basis Chance to mentor and help younger people learn and grow Sense of belonging to a larger organization with a broader mission Feeling of accomplishment from solving complex problems for clients Contribution to a broader effort that you couldn’t otherwise achieve on your own Ability to lead others toward a common goal Opportunity to be part of the “buzz” at the forefront of your chosen field Satisfaction of doing meaningful work and doing it to an excellent standard It’s up to you to get what you need She then went on to say that it’s our own responsibility to ask ourselves, “Am I getting those benefits I want from work?” And then to make sure we are. She’s right. The company cuts the check (or rather, makes the direct deposit), but the rest â€" camaraderie, meaning, problem solving and so forth â€" are within our sphere of influence. Simply remembering “what you came here for” can jog us out of the grind of “do-do-do” mode, and into the realm of gratitude for what we have at work and taking action to get what we need. On the action-taking front, what would be refreshing and positive for you? Is there an assignment you could ask for that puts your best strengths to work and where you could make a unique contribution? Could you invite a couple of colleagues to join you for lunch, even if it’s just in the company cafeteria (or canteen)? How about scheduling a coffee with that new junior team member to get to know them and start them off on the right track? Since very few of us are mind readers, it’s up to you to make sure you’re getting what you need. You owe it to yourself (and the world) When you step back, you can remind yourself of those important reasons for working which make it much more rewarding than working just for the pay. Don’t get me wrong â€" I’m all for pay and being paid for the value you bring. However, beyond a modest threshold, money does not make us happy. And typically, our pay is not in our control. Making the conscious choice to engage with and appreciate all the facets of your work â€" and to remember why you do it â€" helps you to bring your very best self to the job. That’s when you can achieve the greatest success while also enjoying the process. And that’s “a good thing” for you, your family, your team, your organization and the world. So, why do you work? What are you seeking beyond the money? And how will you make sure you’re getting that? Let me know â€" share your thoughts in the comments below.

How Social Media Skills Can Help You Get the Job

How Social Media Skills Can Help You Get the Job I received the question below last week and asked our business coach (who is also  an expert in social media) to provide his perspective. Dear Coach Wolfgang, I’ve been using social media in the workplace for a almost a year. How do I use this skill to advance my career? Publishing content to social media sites and blogs is a valuable form of inbound marketing for just about every company these days. More and more employers will be interested in having employees who can not only perform the technical aspects of their job but also communicate value-added information out to the larger community of clients prospects. Adding your social media experience to your resume, however, isn’t necessarily straightforward. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your social media experience and leverage it when advancing your career: Industry Focus Is the bulk of your content related to the industry of your next employer? If so, then you can use this to differentiate yourself from other candidates. If not, then you need to devise a strategy to communicate how your social media skills can translate to a new industry. Personal vs. Business Accounts Are you using the same accounts for personal social media posts? Remember your future employer will review your social media accounts and see all of your postings. Anything from posting strong political or religious views to having too many boring personal posts can be reasons why your social media experience may harm your chances. Followers Are you posting through your current employer’s account or under your own business/personal account? If you are publishing under your own name then future employers will find value in the following you have. Think about Guy Kawasaki’s blog: http://blog.guykawasaki.com/ where ever he goes he takes a huge following with him that any company would like to have! If you are publishing under a general company account then you have more of a challenge to show your impact. You may also have your work cut out for you if your co-workers do not publish quality content. Quantify Your Impact Can you quantify the impact of your social media experience? You will want to communicate the number of followers and subscribers you have but it is much more powerful if you can tie a dollar value to the new business your social medial skills have produced. Social media skills can indicate to potential employers that you are knowledgeable about their industry and that you have good writing skills.   Keep in mind, if you tell potential employers about your social media skills then they will investigate your work all of your work. Do you use social media in the workplace? If so, let us know what you think of the tips above or add your own!
