Introducing, Closed Captioning Coming to JibberJobber Videos! For the last couple of months Ive been working on a ginormous project and one of the fruits of that project is to bring closed captioning to my videos.  I went through a learning curve, then the in-the-trenches work of getting my video transcribed and formatted for closed captioning and then figuring out how to get all that in the right format so that video players will be able to take the transcription and put the words in the right place. This was not a quick project.  But I love what it has produced. Check out this two year old interview I did with senior technical recruiter Robert Merrill it was a fun interview, and going through it word-by-word reminded me of how many awesome nuggets of wisdom Robert shared with us all of which are still relevant to todays job search. To see the captions, simply click the cc button, between the volume control and the HD option.  Listen to this, read this, and tell me this isnt a GREAT interview!

Ho, Ho, Ho Merry Job Search! - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Ho, Ho, Ho… Merry Job Search! - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career You may think that the holidays are a good time (errrr… excuse) to take a break from your job search activities, but think again…employers are still hiring and they need great people just like you! In fact, the holidays can be an optimum time to increase your search efforts and here’s why: #1 â€" Competition â€" It’s very common for job seekers to ‘take a break’ during the holidays. Hence, an obvious opportunity… right? Example: If all the runners in a race take a break at the lemonade stand before the finish line and you keep going… who stands a better chance of winning? (yes… it’s you!) So, plan on beating the competition and continue your search. Employers still have openings â€" be their holiday gift!! #2 â€" Your Networking Dream â€" This is a perfect opportunity for you to increase your networking activities because the holiday season is full of people who want to connect. Say “yes” to the holiday gatherings you’re invited to; this is a great place to meet new people. There are so many easy topics to talk about because you can bring the holidays into your conversation. It’s the time of year networking and connecting can be at its best. Use it to your advantage (and connect on LinkedIn with everyone you meet… a networking must!) #3 â€" Relaxed Spirit â€" People always seem to be a little more relaxed during this time of year (well… except for the shopping crowds…argh). This is an opportunity for you to re-connect with people you may have been out-of-touch with for a while â€" reach out and check in. People are normally warmly open to reconnecting during the holiday season… “tis the season” and all. #4 â€" Money, Money â€" Remember budgets… yes, they are commonly being handed out for first quarter of the New Year and yay!! they may be budgeted to hire someone just like you in a few short weeks. So, turn on the charm and let them know you’re available. Taking a break until the New Year may be your first New Year’s Resolution mistake. #5 â€" Do Something Different â€" If you just can’t get your arms around all of the other tips here then maybe this one will warm your holiday heart. Volunteer! This is such an amazing way to connect with new people and pull you into something you can feel passionate about again. It’s a way to get you out of the ‘job search slump’ and make you feel fulfilled again, and a great time to do this is during the holidays. And hey you just might meet your next employer, many teams from companies volunteer at this time of year too. So instead of thinking about pausing your search during the holidays â€"think again and rev it up!

Personal Branding Blog Weekly - Work Your Networking Plan Daily - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Blog Weekly - Work Your Networking Plan Daily - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career You may have already witnessed the results of networking. People with strong connections often get the inside scoop on industry information, good deals, and sometimes, the good jobs. Making connections and nurturing these relationships over time is important. Solid established networks have catapulted many careers and businesses. Unfortunately, for many of us, networking does not make our daily list of to-do things. It becomes an afterthought as we seek to clear up other tasks on our busy schedules. Whether you are doing it intentionally or not, keeping networking on the back burner could be hampering your attempts to move forward in your industry. You need to make connections, nurture and maintain the relationship for positive results. Make the time If you believe that networking is important for your career, then you will make time for it in the same way you find time for other important things. Even if it’s just an hour, you will find that once you make the time and commit to it, good results happen. It helps to have objectives for networking. Are you doing it to make new connections, or to nurture already existing ones? Figure out an objective for networking, so your efforts aren’t wasted. Put networking on your schedule. It’s not enough to simply say “I’ll make time for networking today.” Pencil it in your schedule and honor the commitment. Once you start doing it on a consistent basis, it becomes a value-adding task to your career. Have a plan One of the common mistakes people do when it comes to networking, busy or not, is not having a plan.  [tweet this] A plan is more than just objectives; it includes the venues and events where you can network easily, as well as an idea of the potential connections you will meet at these events. There’s no substitute for preparation, even when it comes to networking. Make it a point to know whom you want to meet, where, and at what time. Schedule it in A networking appointment is just as important as any meeting with a customer or supervisor.   Often, someone in your network will become your customer or supervisor or influence someone who is your customer or supervisor. It’s a struggle to find the time to meet with everyone one on one. Here’s where planning can make a remarkable difference in your performance. Look for an upcoming event that many of the people that you would like to network and connect with will be at and plan to be at that event.   Yet, do not just plan to meet with those who are already planning to be there.   Invite some people that you need to reconnect with who would benefit from being at the networking event and seek them out to provide a personal invite. Utilizing and maximizing your strengths is an important skillset that will serve you well in any career.
