How to Use Informational Interviews to Find Hidden Jobs -This article is a part of my series, Hope for Your Job Search. This series is about helping relieve job seekers of the stress and frustration often associated with job searching and to show them that there is HOPE for a successful and short job search.Frustrated with the lack of responses you receive from job boards? Youre bedrngnis the only one. Just this week I heard from an executive job seeker about how exasperated he was with his job search. Hed applied to a few jobs on the Ladders site over the past 30 days and had heard nothing. I really felt for him because I hear the same challenges from so many of you. Youre discouraged and overwhelmed, your job search isnt going as well or as quickly as youd like, and you almost feel hopeless or even powerless as to what to do. But theres good news. You dont have to feel stressed or depressed about your job search prospects all you need to do is look at your job search from a differe nt angle.Last week I wrote about Hidden Job Market Secrets How to Be the ONLY Person Applying for the Job. I hope you read it But if you didnt, I encourage you to check it out. Its packed with great advice on accessing the hidden job market and using a direct mail campaign to find opportunities with little or no competition. This week, however, I want to discuss another method of tapping into the hidden job market informational interviews. Im surprised by how many people have never heard of informational interviewingand even mora surprised by how few there are who use this method.WHAT IS AN INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEW?An informational interview isnt about interviewing or asking for a job. Its about asking for someones advice or getting their expert opinion. Who youre asking and what youre asking are the most important parts of the interview. Your goal is to find experts in the field or punkt you want to be in, and then approach them and ask if you can have 10-15 minutes of their time to ask them for their expert opinion about their industry/position, what they do, and how someone can achieve success in their industry.Few people would turn down such a request I think most people enjoy sharing their opinion on a topic theyre so invested in. Notice how youre not asking for a job? Youre asking for opinions, advice, and information and that is exactly what an informational interview is all aboutasking for information.This article contains mora information and a broad overview of informational interviews.WHO DO YOU APPROACH FOR AN INFORMATION INTERVIEW?You ask people who are currently doing what you want to do or who used to do what you do and now have moved up the ladder. By asking people in the position and industry you want to be in for information on how they got to where they are, how they became successful, and what they do/did, youre networking and making contacts in the industry, learning about strategies for how to be successful in the given industry, and gathe ring other important information you can then use to help find the position you want.Wondering how to ask for the informational interview? Heres a wonderful article from Kristin Johnson with a few examples of how to ask for the interview. Heres one mora that includes scripts you can use when asking for the interview via e-mail-nachricht http//idealistcareers.org/informational-interview-lessons/.Ive had people approach me via e-mail, LinkedIn, and telephone to ask questions and ask for informational interviews. Typically, the requests I receive are from those wanting to break into the resume writing industry, and theyre wondering how I did it and what suggestions I have for them. I think its important when youre asking for someones advice that youre not being too self-focused and making it all about yourself and what you can get out of it. I also think its important to be considerate of other peoples time. If youre sending a message to someone on LinkedIn and youre already asking the questions versus asking for a time to ask questions, dont ask 10 questions in the e-mail. Ask one or two questions, and be respectful of their time. People are busy, and although they may not mind giving a brief response, I dont know many people who have the time to sit down and answer 10 unprompted questions that just landed in their inbox. If you want to ask more than one or two questions, then your introductory e-mail needs to be a request to send over some questions for them to answer when they have time.Informational interviews can be via telephone, in rolle, e-mail, or LinkedIn message. Although meeting with local experts at companies that interest you may be the most powerful and productive strategy for your job search, dont overlook the importance of reaching out to people via e-mail or LinkedIn.SO WHAT DO YOU ASK?Ideally, you want to focus your questions on how theyve gotten to where they are now, what paths they took, how they found success (or what they define as success ) in their industry. By asking these questions, youre gathering vital information that will help to direct your steps in pursuing a similar path. I also found two great articles that list many great sample questions you should ask during an informational interview. The key is to remember that you certainly dont want to ask ALL of these questions. Its a courtesy that the person is taking time to speak with you, and you want to be respectful of their time. Cap your questions to 5-10 minutes maximum. Choose questions from these two lists that are most relevant to your goal for the informational interview.The first article lists questions to ask during your informational interview. This second list is a bit more exhaustive with 200 questions that you could ask during your informational interview. As I stated before, pick and choose those that are most relevant to your goals, and ask those questions first.I am also a huge fan of one of my colleagues, Mary Elizabeth Bradford. Her advice o n networking and informational interviews is always on pointso I want to direct you to an article I recently discovered that actually provides networking scripts that I think will be very helpful to those of you who need some encouragementalong with some examples of how to ask and what to ask when networking and seeking informational interviews. Heres her article Effective Networking Scripts for Your Job Search.REQUESTING REFERRALSOne of the goals of informational interviewing is to ask for referrals. Not necessarily for a job but to others who may also be willing to meet with you. The more you can glean, the better off youll beand you never know when one of your meetings may turn into a job offer or put you in contact with someone who knows of a position. Toward the end of the interview, dont be afraid to ask if theres anyone else the person thinks you should speak to or who may be willing to meet with you.MEETING LOCATIONAlthough Ive read many different opinions regarding where to conduct an in-person informational interview, I personally think the best situation is the persons office. Its professional, typically quiet, and in the familiar setting in which the person works. Lunches out can be too long, budget-unfriendly, and even too loud. By no means am I saying you cant meet up with people in your network over lunch, but if youre conducting a 15- to 20-minute informational interview with someone youve never met, doing lunch is hardly ideal.DEEPENING THE CONNECTIONReady to build your connection, network, and relationship? Offer to help. Ask the person youre meeting with what you can do to help them. It makes the connection less one-sidedand shows youre not just selfishly trying to obtain information for yourself. Even if they dont need help with anything, the fact that you offered will leave a positive impression in their mind.SHOW GRATITUDEThis really should go without sayingbut Im going to anyway. Be gratefuland show it. Thank them, before you end the int erview, for their time and for meeting with you. Then, go one step further and follow up with a handwritten thank-you letter. It only takes a few moments but will make a lasting impression. Who doesnt like being thanked? Everyone loves being told thank you. So take the time to show your appreciation for the other persons willingness to answer your questions via e-mail, telephone, or in person.Above all else, please remember that although youre asking them for their advice and expert opinionwhich most people dont mind givingit still should not be one-sided or come off like its all about you. People dont like feeling unappreciated or that youre just using them for your own benefit. This will damage your networknot grow it so be mindful of this fact when youre asking for and conducting informational interviews.Speaking of networking, why dont we go ahead and connect on LinkedIn? You can send me an invitation here. Id also love to hear how informational interviewing has worked for you, questions you recommend others ask, and job offers that have resulted from your interviews

What HR Experts are Saying About Photo on Resume in 2018

What HR Experts are Saying About Photo on Resume in 2018What HR Experts are Saying About Photo on Resume in 2018When it comes to resumes, theres probably no greater dispute than whether to include a photo on the resume or not.Some say, if its a professional photo which goes well with the resume itself then koranvers, why not.Whats more, most recruiters will google youanyway and check your social media profiles. Which means theyll see what you look like eventually.It also depends on a country.In many parts of the world, everybodys expected to include a photo on their resume.In others, hiring managers would say its unacceptable. They rightly think it only increases the possibility of discrimination and unconscious bias against the applicant.Lets take a look at some of the most frequent arguments regarding photos on resumes.1. Argument Hiring managers will google you anyway so theyll eventually see what you look like. Most recruiters today google every job candidate and check their soci al media profiles. This presents you with two kinds of approaches.First, you might as well add the photo to your resume because thell google you anyway.Either that, or you can opt NOT to include your photo on the resume. The same reason- theyll google you anyway. Your resume should be, after all, about your skills, education, experience and not about looks. Strictly speaking, your appearance is not relevant for the job position, unless youre applying for a modelling or acting job.2. Argument It steers the recruiters attention away from the important stuff. Hiring managers only spend 6 seconds on each resume. You only have a very limited amount of time to sell your skills and competences. Examining your photo, no matter how good-looking you are, might take their attention away from the important details about your work experience, skills and knowledge.Use that precious time better than giving the hiring manager a option to concentrate on your photo.Or would you like to get hired most ly for your good looks?3. Argument Photo on resume might cause discrimination.The majority of HR experts agree that a photo on resume can lead to discrimination, bias and favoritism.Its not always the recruiters fault, they might discriminate unconsciously.Humans are visual beings and we instinctively make judgments about people based on their looks. We oftenmakejudgments subconsciously, without a clear intention to do so.But in the job market, where people should stand out based on their accomplishments and abilities alone, why allow for a chance of being judged based on ones race or looks?Apart from ones appearance, name, age, gender or even home address could also trigger subconscious biases. In some countries, HR departments will discard all resumes with photos in order to avoid any possible accusations of discrimination or bias.On the other side, in some other countries, having a photo on the resume is a must. In the end, do whatever is customary in your local job market.READSh ould You Write Your Resume in 1st or 3rd Person?4. Argument Ones looks are not relevant to the job position. Okay, you might be hot. Why notgain some extra points by showing off your picture then? Despite of what weve just said about unconscious biases, you should consider one more thingDoes your appearance bring any value to the job youre applying for?You have to consider for what job positions it is relevant and for which not. There are plenty of positions where looks matter, such as customer service jobs, modeling or acting jobs, brand ambassador/representative jobs, etc. Its up to every applicant to evaluate where its suitable and where not. When theres no legitimate reason why looking hot might be an asset to the job, we advise you not to include it.5. Argument Photo on resume might potentially work against you. If you decide to include a photo on your resume,make sure its one that does you justice.It should be a professional, passport-style headshot. Also, photos on resumes ca n confuse the ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) that some companies use to filter resumes. This software automatically scans and pans your resume for keywords and a photo could potentially hinder this process. This might cause your resume not to be accepted. You dont want that. Be aware of this when applying for a job in large corporations- they get hundreds of resumes daily and employ the ATS in order to speed up the process of hiring new people.Also, you should keep in mind that in some countries its normal to add photos to resumes while in others its unacceptable. In continental Europe, for instance, its a common practice to put photos on CVs, but in other parts of the world such as Australia, India or the UK, the same practice is seen as highly inappropriate. So, even with the best of intentions, a photo can eventually work against you.Our conclusionAll in all, experts agree its better NOT to include a photounless its a position that in any way requires you to look good or unless youre applying for a job in a country where it is specifically advised to do so. If you want to include it, then just do it. But the global job market is inclined to a non-discrimination policy so the habit of including photos on resumes is slowly becoming outdated.Most importantly, your knowledge, skills and competence are there to speak for you, not your looks. The most reputable and professional recruiters know this and will consider you only on the basis of your skills and value you could bring to the company.In a nutshell, we think including aphoto on resume is useless because 1. The hiring managers will google you anyway.2. The purpose of a resume is to get you an interview. Get noticed for your skills and qualities, not looks.There are all sorts of designs in zugnglich Resume Builder, with or without a photograph. You can choose one that suits your position and country the best. Perfect resume and cover letter are just a click away.Share Your Feedback or Ideas in the Comme nts

How to Deal With a Negative Co-worker - The Muse

How to Deal With a Negative Co-worker - The MuseHow to Deal With a Negative Co-worker If your co-worker complains one more time, youre going to lose it. You used to enjoy his little hellos to your work space, but now youve come to dread it when he stops by. You used to respect him, but now you just want to avoid him.Whats changed? All he does is complain. And that brings you to this article- figuring out how to get it to stop. 1. Ask if They Want to Vent or if They Want Advice.This is a simple step that so many people skip when theyre on the receiving end of drama. And because of that, miscommunications happen. Think Dan keeps coming to me for advice on dealing with his boss, but never does what I say or My sister wont stop complaining about her boyfriends cleaning habits and didnt landseem to appreciate that article I sent her on the topic.If They Want to VentTruth Sometimes people just want or need to vent. Thats OK and if you know that, you have two options to listen or to say, I hear you, however, youve been venting a lot lately and I always leave our conversations feeling a little down. I think I need a vent-free week, is that OK?Of course, this is hard to say, especially to someone you truly like. But if you were the person being a drain on your friend, youd want to know, right?If They Want AdviceOffer it if you have it. If not, refer them to resources, such as an article, your HR department, or a career coach. If you feel its deep-seated or theyre not wanting to work on a solution, mention the help that a trained professional can provide. Its also fine to say, Thats a really complicated situation youre in and I dont know what Id do. Whenever Im in a tricky spot, I reach out to my mentor. If youd like, I can see if hed be able to chat.2.
