Big Announcement #2 New Job Search and Career Management Video System

Big Announcement #2 New Job Search and Career Management Video System Almost two weeks ago I shared Big Announcement #1: Im Transitioning.  Today I get to share Big Announcement #2 As I mentioned in the earlier announcement, I have been doing a lot of courses for Pluralsight, and as far as I know, Im not doing any more courses for them.  This freed up a significant amount of time.  Oh, what to do with all that time? Well, I decided to go back to the JibberJobber Video Library and see what we should do to update it.  Instead of making a few tweaks here, a few changes there, we decided to do a complete overhaul of both the user experience (UX) and the content.  Heres what you need to know about the new video library, which was released in the wee hours last  night: A New Name: Instead of the JibberJobber Video Library, we are calling this (some version of) the Insider Information Videos. Why? Because of who the video content is from see the next section New Content Instead of just me (Jason Alba) doing courses, which is what I started out with many years ago, I am interviewing people involved in the hiring process. Right now Im focusing my energy on HR, hiring managers, and recruiters. I love coaches and resume writers, but the feedback Ive gotten  is pointing me in this direction: find out how hiring is done by the people who are in the hiring trenches. What does a recruiter really think about your resume? Ask a an insider (the recruiter)! What policies affect hiring? Ask an insider (the HR professional). What really influences a a decision-maker  in an interview? Ask an insider (the hiring manager)!  There are other insiders Ill interview watch for new content over the next year. The good news is that information from these people should supplement, and complement, what coaches are telling their clients/candidates. Updated Content: The LinkedIn content needs to be updated. Ill review the content for the other stuff, and update it if I can improve it. Updated Interface Interface is a jargony, kind of boring word. But this is a critical point. Instead of a menu where you drill down to find what you are looking for, we approached this from a what are the best ways to sift through tons of video content?  There are three main ways to find answers to your questions, or the right videos for you to watch: Categories, such as: HR Interviews, Recruiter Interviews, Fortune 500 Interviews, etc. Tags, such as: interviewing, negotiation, informational interviews, etc. Search, which is way cooler than you might think.  Why? Because not only are we searching on the names and descriptions of the videos, we are actually transcribing every video, put it into a closed-caption format, and when you search on a word or phrase, well show you exactly where, in every transcribed video, we mention that word. So, in an interview, if we talk about salary negotiation five times, youll be able to jump to each of those five mentions easily. That means that finding the right information in dozens, and eventually hundreds of hours of content, will be really, really easy! Updated Pricing For the last many years, the pricing to buy videos was simple: pay $50 and get one of the courses, like LinkedIn, Informational Interviews, etc.  You could even bundle one year of JibberJobber with some videos and get a discount. Were switching over to a Netflix/Hulu-like model: pay one low monthly fee and get access to everything. But wait, it gets better!  You could pay for video access for one year and get a discount, or, the best offer we have is for you  is to upgrade for one year on JibberJobber and the video library, and youll get 50% off on both. Heres what that looks like: Monthly: $9.95/month One year: $99 (save $20) Bundle one year +  one year of JibberJobber Premium: $120 (save $60 on the video library upgrade and $60 on the JibberJobber upgrade, for a total of $120 savings). Are you an outplacement firm, resume writer, or career coach?  Reach out to me for information on bulk pricing: Jason@JibberJobber.com. Whats more, this is just the beginning. Over the next months, and years, I will work on adding more content and enhancing the video system, FOR YOU.  Over the next few days Ill be cleaning up the library and getting all of the videos categorized correctly so it will undergo a transformation. But its ready for you to go into now.  Just login, mouse over Tools, and click JibberJobber Videos (right under Pluralsight Videos). What do you say? Are you in?   Just login to your JibberJobber account and click on Upgrade on the bottom left the payment page will allow you to choose what level you want.

Want To Earn More Money How To Negotiate A Raise

Want To Earn More Money How To Negotiate A Raise While undergoing my first annual review at work, and subsequently receiving a significant promotion and raise, I realized I was totally unprepared to negotiate. Not only was I unprepared, I was incredibly intimidated by the process. I am not alone in this. According to Lisa Gates of Ask The Negotiators, the career advice section of themuse, The fears women have about negotiating are legendary. Women are four times less likely to negotiate than men, and on top of that, tend to work 10% faster and 22% longer for the same reward. But, remember this: When you fail to ask for what you’re worth, you stand to lose up to $1 million over the course of your career, thus solidifying your own wage gap and, often, your early exit from the leadership track. To read the rest of Gates tips on how to negotiate a raise, click here. After all was said and done, I had a much better idea of how to fight for myself and will be able to be more confident and competent in future negotiations. It is fairly simple, just be sure to: Use Your Annual Review Timing is everything. Use your annual review to negotiate a larger than normal raise and/or a title change. Performance reviews are a great chance to shine, to demonstrate your skills, and to point out the benefits that you have brought to your company in the past year. They are also a time when employers anticipate giving raises, and budgets have been allocated for this specific function, so they may have more wiggle room and means than during any other time in the year. Be sure to keep in mind that the average annual raise at most companies is between 3% and 5%, so if you are able to negotiate more- props to you! You can read this for more information on average salary increases. https://www.pexels.com/photo/box-business-celebrate-celebration-296878/ Know Your Worth Take the time to do some research and find out what people in comparable roles are paid. Some great tools for this are Glassdoor and PayScale, two websites where you can view jobs and compare salaries. You will be able to use this as a negotiation point and have some legitimate numbers to throw out as examples. Be sure to take into consideration the way that your specific company has historically compensated employees, as well as the average salary for someone in your role within your geographic area. Smaller companies tend to pay less and location is a significant factor. Be Confident, Not Demanding When asking for a raise, be professional and respectful. Keep emotion out of your negotiations. Remember, you are conducting a business deal, so you should be patient, respectful, and open-minded. Come prepared with specific reasons and examples as to why you have earned the raise, and be sure to provide a solid number that you have in mind as fair compensation for the work you do. Mind everything from the way you talk to your body language. Books like  [amazon template=productasin=0553804723] can help you understand how you come across. The way you handle yourself during this process is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your maturity, business acumen, and professionalism. You go, Career Girl. If you have any tips for how to negotiate a raise, I would love to hear them! Tweet them to me @sncueto or @mscareergirl.

What Would You Attempt to Do - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

What Would You Attempt to Do - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career I have several quotations on the wall in my office. In my last post I discussed the first one, which is: Life isnt about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. (George Bernard Shaw) The gist of that post was that people tend to search for pay and sustenance in the earlier part of their careers, then realize later in their careers that they want their work to have more meaning and purpose. Creating yourself and your career involves many things, one of the most important of which being your values. In this second post in the series, I want to share with you another quotation on my office wall: What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? (Robert Schuller) In addition to evaluating your career choices from the perspective of meaning and purpose, it is also important to consider risk and reward. I like this question because it challenges us to consider the extent to which we are playing it safe with our job choices and long term career plans/path. Many of the people I speak with each month, at one time or another, have let fear of failure hold them back from the simplest of choices changing jobs. If you think about Maslows hierarchy of needs, they seem to have never gotten past a focus on the lower needs physiological and safety. To some extent, fear of the unknown drives many of us to opt of what appears to be the lowest risk choice. This is a broad topic, but I think it might be helpful to at least address it from two aspects. One is the potential fallacy of opting for what appears to be the lowest risk choice and the other is the waste of potential from seeking safety. Lets look at these two briefly. First I encounter lots of people who have been hanging on in their current jobs and companies, despite the negativity of their circumstances. I spoke with such a person just this week, who has finally decided he has had enough working for a Fortune500 company that has a poor track record over the last 10+ years of developing and utilizing its workers. Virtually everyone from this company who talks to me complains of how bad it is and yet few of them take the initiative to get the heck out. Now, heres the REAL rub as their incompetent management continues to slumber at the wheel, the axe could fall at any time on these huddled masses who are hanging on to what appears to be a safe income source. This is truly sad. Second In seeking what may be a false god of safety, these hordes are hurting themselves in ways that they may not have considered. They have so much potential to learn more, to become more, to enjoy life more, and to be rewarded more. They are missing the opportunity to work in a better environment with more motivated and supportive co-workers. They are missing the opportunity to make new relationships with top-flight people who may someday be able to bring them along with them as they seek higher and higher accomplishments. They are, in the final analysis, forgoing all these positive things in exchange for a certain level of comfort in their perceived safety. This is also sad. I challenge you to consider seriously what you would do if you knew you could not fail. Take out a blank piece of paper and write down all those things. Dont limit yourself. Be bold. Now, consider how safe you have been playing it in your career and your life so far. You are capable of many orders of magnitude more than you have attempted thus far. What can you start doing today to make a reality one or more of the things you wrote down?

7 Career Paths for Those Without a High School Diploma CareerMetis.com

7 Career Paths for Those Without a High School Diploma With the high cost of college these days, many young people are thinking about skipping the degree In general, college graduates have a lot more earning potential than those with a high school diploma, who earn about $37,024 per year. Even accounting for the student loan debt, most college graduates come out ahead over time in overall earnings. But that doesn’t mean that you have to have a bachelor’s or even an associate’s degree to earn a good living.It’s important to note that for almost any significant job that offers you security, good pay, and interesting work, you will at least need a high school diploma. A GED is also a good option for those who want to take their career to the next level but may need to catch up on the basics.But if you want to build a solid long-term career and you don’t currently have a diploma, you’re not completely out of luck. There are some great career paths that can pay well enough for you to enjoy a good quality of life. Before we dive in , though, there’s one other thing you should know: even if you don’t need a degree for these jobs, you may need to complete additional training, certifications, or apprenticeships to advance.Here are 7 careers to consider if you’re looking for work without a high school diploma.1) Elevator Installer and RepairerEver gotten stuck in an elevator? It’s a quick way to make friendsâ€"or find a job. With all the high-rises popping up in major cities all over the country, elevators have become practically essential to everyday life. When they break down, it’s key to ensure that they’re quickly back up and running and that they maintain a high level of safety standards.You may never have considered getting into the elevator repair and installation business, but it’s a solid career path that pays an average of $79,780 per year. Plus, now that no one wants to live in a walk-up apartment and business developers are turning to vertical space in cramped cities, companies need their employees to be able to quickly access offices on high floors. Because of this, the profession is growing quickly.So what’s it like to be an elevator servicing professional? First, you’ll need to be comfortable working in dark, tight spaces and with heights. You’ll also need to be prepared to be on call for important jobs. You don’t need any formal education to work on elevators, but you will need to complete an apprenticeship and become licensed in most states. 2) DetectiveevalAre you good at noticing small details? Are you fascinated by true crime and the work detectives do? If you’re persistent and good at gathering facts and good at poring over a large amount of information, then you may have what it takes to be a detective.Detective work isn’t particularly glamorous. It can be frustrating to track down dead-end lead after dead-end lead, interview people endlessly, and sift through piles of phone records. But it can also be a very satisfying career that allows you t o really help your community.It’s important to note is that becoming a police officer or detective does often require a high school diploma. But if you go through the police academy and on-the-job training, you might be able to work your way up the ladder without much formal education. Another option? Private investigator.3) Data AnalystData analysts, as you might imagine, collect and work with data. They try to find the answers to specific questions using large datasets and communicate that information to organizational leaders in order to aid in strategy, daily operations, and other applications. evalNow that data is quickly becoming one of the world’s most precious commodities, there’s a growing need for professionals who know how to work with data analytics tools. While you might be surprised to learn that you don’t necessarily need a college degree or even a diploma to succeed in the field of data analytics, what really matters in these jobs is your skills and ability t o adapt quickly, rather than formal education.To become a data analyst without a degree, you’ll need to do some serious self-teaching. Learning programming skills, math, machine learning concepts, SQL, and software skills is key. You’ll also need to build an impressive portfoliothat you can show to employers in order to compete with candidates who have college degrees.4) Airline PilotWould you like to fly high above the world, earning a competitive salary and respect along the way? Then becoming an airline pilot might be the career for you.As a pilot, you don’t need any specific degree or even a diploma. As long as you can learn to safely fly a plane and get from point A to point B while following all regulations and keeping passengers safe, you can earn a very good living and enjoy a satisfying career that will allow you to see the world.To become a commercial pilot, your first step is to earn a private pilot certificate. You’ll learn in a small plane and get the basics of piloting an aircraft. From there, you’ll need to earn a series of other ratings and certificates in order to pilot a large jet.It’s not easy, but once you have all the necessary certifications and 1,500 hours of flight time, you’ll be eligible for hire. Some airlines even operate cadet programs for people who want to become pilots.5) Power Plant Distributor and DispatcherIn the United States, we use a lot of power. Distributors and dispatchers at power plants ensure that power is flowing to buildings in their service area. While this career path is declining somewhat, due to alternative energy solutions and other factors, there are still good opportunities in the field.While some power plant jobs do require a high school diploma, you may be able to get enough on-the-job training to work your way up. Because there are few training programs for this kind of work, much of it is done after a person has already been hired, making this job a good pick for someone without a degree.6) Nuclear Power OperatorNuclear power operators have the responsibility of overseeing the facilities that produce nuclear material for utilities. Reactor operators can earn around $83,000per year, and shifts are needed 24 hours per day.evalLet’s get one thing out of the way: working as a nuclear power operator has the potential to be quite dangerous. Accidents at power plants all over the world and the long-term effects of radiation exposure are valid reasons for avoiding work in a nuclear plant. But if you’re willing to accept the risk, then it can be a good option.You may need a high school diploma or GED to work in a nuclear power plant. You will also need to become certified, which you can work toward while training under more experienced operators.7) Postmaster/ Mail SuperintendentEmployees of the U.S. Postal Service can work their way up over time to eventually oversee a branch of the post office. This position is known as a Postmaster. If you’re interested in following t his career path, then you’ll need to be prepared to serve in some lower-level roles before you move up.The USPS hiring requirements are pretty basic. You must be 18, be able to pass a drug and background check, and be a citizen or permanent resident. You may also need to pass an exam and have a valid driver’s license in good standing.Finding the Right Career for You evalAs you can see, it is possible to find interesting jobs, even without a degree. With that said, earning a high school diploma or GED, attending a trade school, or getting into a certification program could make life much easier.evalWhen it comes to choosing your career, it’s important to think about what you really want out of life. Don’t just settle for a low-level jobâ€"find something you like that you can continue doing for years to come.Remember, a career is very different from a job. If you’re willing to adapt and learn, then you don’t need an expensive degree to earn a good living!

Is there really such a thing as a Perfect Job

Is there really such a thing as a Perfect Job Perfect is an imperfect word.   Really, what is perfect?   Is the the absolute best solution forever or for right now? Our work life (what was once called a career), is made up of a series of jobs.   Sometimes these jobs connect systematically and with purpose, other times, well, not so much. It is my belief that we can can steps to make our work life flow in the direction we want.   But only to a point.   Set the course and see what happens. When I hear job seekers say, gosh, I just applied for perfect jobI cringe.   Job descriptions seldom accurately describe the full requirements and needs of an employer.   You know why? They cant predict the future or their needs beyond 6 months They have difficulty defining exactly what they need and what the right fit is to fill their void They have written a bunch of general things they think they would like They are throwing out a bunch of requirements, sometimes unrelated or unreal, to see what sticks Theyve used the same job description for the past, oh, 5-10 years, without updating it You get my point.   And I am not faulting them.   Establishing hiring criteria and then trying to put it into meaningful terms is quite difficult. I recently had a conversation with Tom Biviano, of Black Ink International on this very topic.   Tom is a wise and experienced Sales Coach.   I love good sales professionals.   Their brains work like no others.   Toms personality is so far from the sleazy insurance sales guy or used car salesmans.   Phew. Here are two questions for you: Do you know what direction will take you closer to where you want to be in the future? Are you clear on what your strengths are and how you communicate them to match the jobs you are pursuing? If you are looking for additional thoughts about the perfect job, when to hold out etc, please be sure to check out these posts: Should You Hold Out or Throw in the Towel Is it a Tweener Job You Need?

Accomplishments For Resume - A Better Way to Excel

Accomplishments For Resume - A Better Way to ExcelThe most important accomplishments for resume are usually about the candidate's skills and experiences that are directly relevant to the job position. Therefore, the skills and experiences must be relevant and valuable in the work environment. More importantly, these should also fit the job description.This is true especially for job positions that are in a specialized field. Such occupations are more specific in terms of work goals and expectations. In fact, an appropriate list of accomplishments for resume that fit into the job description would include all the skill sets that the job needs.The list of accomplishments for resume should not be too long. Too many details may only cause an employer to dismiss your application. With the proper explanations of the jobs that need to be done, you can convince an employer that you can be a good match for the position. It is not enough to state facts.When you get a call from an employer sayi ng that you are in a good job, but the skills and experience that you have does not fit the job description, you need to show that you are skilled in other skills. You can explain how you will be able to do the work efficiently. Your strengths can be the key factors in getting the interview.As for the work settings, the accomplishments for resume should include all relevant details. The type of work, the location and the hours that you will be working are all important to mention. All those details must be included so that you can get the job with the highest salary.
