5 Great Startup Events for Rookies and Gurus Alike

5 Great Startup Events for Rookies and Gurus Alike 5 Great Startup Events for Rookies and Gurus Alike If youre in the same state of mind, dont worry. Today, there is a bevy of startup intensives that can give you the chance to try out the startup grind for a day, a weekend, or a week at a time. These events, held frequently throughout the year, can help you decide if starting up is right for you.1. If Youre Just Getting Started, TryStartup WeekendIf you simply want to dip your entrepreneurial toe in the water, consider attending a Startup Weekend event. These events, held every week in cities around the world, are easy to find and gain access to. Be prepared to pitch an idea for a company and work on someone elses idea, in case yours isnt selected by the group voting process as a top team.Over the weekend, youll work with a group of strangers to create a new company and plan for its growth. By the time Sunday night pitches roll around, youll have a good understanding of some of the traits it takes to be a successful entrepreneur e.g., the ability to work under pressure, lead a team, and wear many hats.2. If You Have a Business but Youre Struggling to Gain Customers, Trytexas tea Startup MachineIf youve tried a few Startup Weekends and are looking to further build your entrepreneurial skills, or if youre running a startup company that is in its early stages, try attending a Lean Startup Machine event near you. This weekend is geared specifically toward those who are trying to identify and build customer-driven products and organizations. Lean Startup Machine events operate in the framework established by Eric Riess The Lean Startupand the work of Steve Blank.You may not like hearing customer feedback especially if those customers dont value yourproduct or service but by finding out what customers thinknow rather than later, you can begin to understand theproblems your customers do have and avoid wasting your time and money building things that no one wants to buy. While this event is also relatively easy to access, a thick skin and a willingness to talk to strangers are necessary to get the full benefit.3. If You Have Technical Skills, Try a HackathonWhether youre a student or a professional developer, hackathons can provide you the time, support, and freedom to build what youve always wanted to build. While hackathons vary in length, intensity, and focus, you can find a good collection of student-targeted events atMajor League Hacking. If youre in my neck of the woods (the Midwest),Hack Midwestis the banner event of the year. There are even distributed hackathons, open to anyone in the country, like theATT NYU Connect Ability Challenge. Its also worth mentioning that these events often have pretty attractive cash prizes (and bragging rights) at stake.4. If Youre a Maker, Inventor, or Hardware Hacker, TryMake48If using Arduinos to create your own home security ordnungsprinzip isnt cutting it for you anymore, you might want to try a we ekend-long event like Make48. While this particular competition is based here in Kansas City, there are similar robotics builds, invention challenges, and other makeathons around the country. If you get more pleasure out of creating physical solutions to problems than coding software, maker events like this offer a hands-on equivalent to a hackathon.5. If Youre Just a Little Unbalanced, TryStartupBusAre you a regular ultra-marathoner? Does a Tough Mudder sound like fun to you? You just might want to try your hand at being a buspreneur. StartupBus is a four-to-five day startup intensive created by a team of entrepreneurs who had attended Startup Weekends and asked themselves, Could we do that on a moving bus?If youre invited to become a buspreneur (yes, the program is invite-only and requires that you be connected enough to find former buspreneurs and secure an invitation from them), you will find yourself facing all the challenges one might imagine the act of trying to build a compa ny ona moving vehicle would entail e.g., spotty and/or insufficient Internet access, limited resources, motion sickness, ice storm, etc.But successful buspreneurs find a way to thrive in this environment, securing paying customers, raising seed money, and garnering national media coverage for a barely-hatched idea. Its a crucible, but if startup life doesnt seem daunting enough for you on its own, you may want to consider trying a trip on the StartupBus.Regardless of how you learn about the startup lifestyle, getting a chance to try it out before jumping in with both feet can be helpful in many ways. You can make friends and begin to build a network of support to lean on when times get tough. You can start to understand the structure and process of testing and iterating quickly. Even if you should decide that startup life isnt the right fit for you, your time spent dabbling in the startup world wont be wasted. You can apply you new understanding of how to make big things happen wit h few resources to any aspect of your career.Versions of this article originally appeared Startup Grind and BusinessCollective.Melissa Roberts is the president ofFree State Strategy Group, an integral public affairs firm the helps clients develop and execute grassroots advocacy strategies to build engaged and receptive communities both online and offline.

All About Sales and Marketing Careers

All About Sales and Marketing Careers All About Sales and Marketing Careers Traditionally, the marketing departments of businesses were responsible for product design, identifying demographics, designing promotions, advertising and enabling the sales force with tools for their go to market strategy. Once marketing was finished, the sales professionals took over. If sales were strong, the marketing team felt as if they did a good job on their end. If sales were weak, the marketing team would be charged with creating a different marketing plan and to redesign the go to market strategy. While many large businesses still operate in the traditional marketing then sales model, most small to mid-sized businesses have merged these two departments into one. Doing so not only reduces overhead but also can provide a few distinct advantages. This merging has created several career opportunities for creative thinking sales professionals who can benefit from the advantages of a dual-role position. Direct Feedback A common challenge with the traditional marketing departments is the lack of experienced sales professionals on the team. Sales cannot be made in a boardroom or on a dry erase board. Sales ?is done face to face, belly to belly, sales professional to customer. An experienced sales professional knows what works and what falls short. Career marketing professionals often rely on polls, industry analysis and charts when designing a strategy. What this approach lacks is the real-life experience that only sales experience can offer. When experienced sales professionals are employed as sales marketing specialists, they bring the crucial missing piece that can make or break a marketing plan. This eliminates the delay in getting feedback from the sales force and can greatly increase both the original marketing plan as well as any needed revisions. Multiple Career Paths One common challenge faced by many employers is retaining and attracting quality employees. By offering career advancement opportunities, employers are better positioned to both attract and retain quality employees. While the typical career path for sales professional follows the rep-manager-director path, blending marketing in with sales creates multiple advancement paths. Not only will blending sales and marketing provide a value-add to employees, but the employer also benefits through the cross-training of mid and senior level executives. Loss of Skills Sales and marketing skills are like muscles: If not used, they will shrink, become weaker and, eventually atrophy to the point of being useless. Despite what some believe, sales is not like riding a bike. Just because you were effective in a sales position 10 years ago does not mean that you will be effective after an extended period of time out of the sales field. The same holds true for those in marketing. Skills need to be used consistently and constantly improved. Things change drastically in the business world and your skills need to change right along with these changes. Be out of sales or marketing for any length of time and you will be passed by your competition. Having multiple career paths does create the potential for sales or marketing skills to wane unless your position is one that places consistent demands of both your marketing and sales skills. Employers should be aware of this potential, and design job positions that reflect the college system of major-minor. This means that no employee should be 100% focused on sales or marketing, but should have a 75/25% split favoring either marketing or sales. What Employers Look For A typical college degree in business management includes elements of sales and marketing that employers want in candidates interested in a combo position. But getting experience in both fields can be challenging. In typical situations, people focus to either a career in sales or a career in marketing but seldom do both. For the job seeker, the answer may not be easily found. There are options, however. The first being asking your employer for training with their marketing department employees for those in sales and asking for sales training for those in marketing. Very few employers would deny an employees request for additional training and allow  you an easy, free and readily available access to on the job training. Another option for cross training is to reach out to local colleges and universities for continuing education courses. While this option may take longer, take more of your personal time and cost you more capital, the resume-improvements and the visible signs of self-drive can more than make up for the costs.

How to Avoid the Frustration of Phantom Job Postings

How to Avoid the Frustration of Phantom Job Postings How to Avoid the Frustration of Phantom Job Postings Phantom job postings are for supposed job openings that are not open at all. They are a cause of ongoing frustration for many job seekers, and there are various reasons why they exist. Genuinely Hidden Job In this scenario, there is a job opening, but it already has been filled through informal networking processes. However,  the public job posting is a mere formality undertaken to comply with human resources department rules that mandate the advertising of open positions.   In such a situation, people responding to the formal public job listing actually have no chance at all of ever landing the position. Not only are they wasting their time in applying, but they also do not know that they are. In some cases, however, applicants for such phantom jobs actually be putting themselves under consideration for future openings, if their credentials are impressive enough. This is most likely in situations where the job posting is being worked upon by a recruiting firm (also known as a job placement or headhunting firm) and the applicant has made contact with a member of that firms staff. Delayed Communication Flows Even if the job is indeed filled through an open and competitive process, sometimes a recruiter or job board may not be informed of this in a timely fashion, and thus the posting may persist after the job has ceased to be open. This is less likely and less excusable in the case of job postings maintained by the human resources department on a companys own website, but such errors are indeed possible and do occur from time to time. Likewise, a job opening may continue to be advertised erroneously even after it has been eliminated, such as due to a hastily imposed budget exercise. Postings Designed for Future Needs Some companies have frequent needs to fill job vacancies on a timely basis, as the result of a regular turnover. In some of these cases, these vacancies stretch across broad categories of jobs. As a result, these employers often advertise for such jobs before the openings emerge, to secure a pipeline of qualified candidates that can be tapped in a hurry once the need arises. In this case, a job applicant may find that the advertised job is not currently available, but instead may be so at some indeterminate time in the future. Competing Postings In some cases, the hiring company may have hiring needs in various areas, but only the budget to add a subset of these people. Once the aggregate hiring limit has been reached, the remaining job postings effectively become null and void. Applicants for the latter then will find that they have been seeking jobs that have vanished. Risks to the Company Becoming known as a company that regularly makes phantom job postings is likely to have a highly negative impact on outside reputation and internal morale. The most highly qualified external candidates, those with the widest employment options, are bound to shun a company with a reputation for dealing in bad faith with applicants, by advertising openings that do not really exist. Similarly, employees will become demoralized if they do not believe that they have a fair chance at advancing internally  and if promotions appear to be tainted by cronyism and internal politics.

Skills Fundraisers Need to Be Competitive Job Candidates

Skills Fundraisers Need to Be Competitive Job Candidates Skills Fundraisers Need to Be Competitive Job Candidates Effective fundraising is a critical part of successful political campaigns, charitable organizations, community organizations, entrepreneurship, and even scientific research. Virtually any endeavor that needs money needs to engage in fundraising can benefit from hiring a professional fundraiser. Professional fundraisers can work at many different levels, from designing campaigns to simply following a telephone script. There are also different types of fundraising, from asking for big donations one-on-one (a process that might take several months of relationship building per donor), to grant writing, to organizing raffles or benefit dinners. What Skills Do You Need to Be a Fundraiser? As the name implies, fundraising pertains to using creative ways to raise funds for a worthy cause. The work can be rigorous and closely resemble sales, event planning, and marketing. Fundraisers are not necessarily required to have any particular academic background, and many get their start working as volunteers for community groups. Masters’ programs in fundraising, however, do exist, and a bachelors’ degree in a relevant field, such as public relations or journalism helps, and may be necessary for some jobs. For some types of fundraising, detailed legal knowledge may be necessary. In some states, independent fundraisers who work as contractors may have to register accordingly and follow stringent regulations. Types of Fundraising Skills Communication Its natural that people who work in fundraising need to have good written and verbal  communication skills. Its difficult to convince people to contribute their money to a cause without an excellent pitch. Fundraiser workers should be able to write letters, edit, proofread, and write grant proposals and press releases. Theyll also need to be able to effectively facilitate discussions, inspire confidence and trust in face to face communication, and effectively engage in public speaking. Public SpeakingOral CommunicationWritten CommunicationGrant WritingCollaborationPresentationFacilitate Group Discussion Interpersonal Individuals who work as fundraisers should have a wide range of  interpersonal skills. They should practice  leadership  and assertiveness. They should be able to build relationships with donors and motivate and train volunteers. They should also know how to effectively recognize prospective donors and be  persuasive  in their dealings with them. LeadershipAssertivenessNegotiationMotivationInspirationTrainingConsultingPersuasion Technology Fundraising employees need to be able to reach out to supporters on social media, as well as properly collect, analyze, and store donor data. Individuals who feel known and recognized by an organization may be more likely to donate. Conversely, sending an unsolicited fundraising call to someone who has already asked to be removed from the list could alienate a potential donor permanently. Common programs used in fundraising include Microsoft Excel,  Microsoft Office,  Microsoft PowerPoint, and  Microsoft Word, as well as Raisers Edge, DonorPerfect, and  Sumac.

Target These 11 Things in the Job Listing Before You Apply

Target These 11 Things in the Job Listing Before You Apply Target These 11 Things in the Job Listing Before You Apply What if there were a way to know what was most important to an employer? Good news! Job postings contain more than just hiring criteria. By taking a closer look at job postings, you can identify topics of importance and pick up on nuanced information to help you prepare better applications. Here is what to look for when deconstructing a job posting: Job Title Align your experience with what the company is looking for by using the same language they do in the job title. For example, if you are a public relations officer and they are looking for a communications specialist, call yourself a communications specialist or utilize parentheses on past similar roles to match the job title if applicable (e.g. Public Relations Officer (Communications Specialist). Job Number If a job number is available, include it in your email, cover letter, and even filenames. This will make it easier for those receiving, searching, and processing applications to pay attention to your submission. HR Manager’s Name and Contact Details Use this information to personalize your applicationspecifically, your cover letter. This not only shows that you paid attention and read the job posting but also demonstrates professional courtesy and respect. You can also use this information to research the hiring manager with the goal of finding a way to connect with them.  If the posting does not include this information, be resourceful. Try locating it online, through your network, or even by calling the company and asking for it. Location If you are applying for a position across town or across the country, be proactive and address any concerns the employer may have about daily commutes or plans for relocation in your resume or cover letter. Posting Date and Application Deadline Show employers you are prepared and serious about finding work by submitting your application ahead of the submission deadline. Research shows that, on average, 60% of applications are submitted within seven days of a position being posted. Applications submitted early in the application window do better than those submitted later, because there is less competition and employers are not yet overwhelmed with candidates.   Application Instructions Be on the lookout for specific application instructions such as, “Submit your resume, cover letter, references, and a sample of your work”; “Please indicate your salary expectations”; or, “No follow-up calls.” There is always a reason behind these requests and applicants whose submissions follow the instructions are more likely to be considered. Qualifications When reviewing job requirements, a good rule of thumb is that you should satisfy 75-80% of the duties listed for the role. That said, understand that “credential creep”when employers include an excessive list of hiring criteriais a real thing. Pay special attention to the duties listed first, as job ads are typically written in order of importance. Be sure to highlight your experience in these areas early in your resume.Focus on position-specific duties. For example, “Manage the purchase of building materials and land acquisitions,” rather than more general catch-all phrases, such as, “Perform extra duties as assigned.” Keywords Take note of the terms and vocabulary used throughout a job posting. Start by identifying the hard, soft, and technical skills the employer wants, and include that terminology in your resume and cover letter.  Using the same language as the employer will help target your application and increase your resume’s rank if you are applying through an applicant tracking system (ATS).   You can also use resume keywords to get a sense of what skills the employer prioritizes. For instance, if you see the words analyze, analysis, and analytical repeated, this may indicate a key part of the role, and you can focus on demonstrating your competency in this area. Jobscans resume optimization tool helps automate this process. Just paste in your resume and a job description to get a detailed report of which skills are most important to your application and whether or not your resume has you covered.   Assets, Must-Haves, and Deal Breakers It is common for specific knowledge or experience to be listed as an asset.This information is often listed toward the end of a posting, but if you have that skill set, you should highlight this early on your resume.This is a quick way to stand out among other applicants. You should also be on the lookout for must-haves and deal breakers.If a posting states, “Must have own vehicle,” not having a car will likely prevent any further consideration. Similarly, if a posting outlines “50% out-of-town travel,” and that does not work for you or your household, it could be a potential deal breaker. Tone and Company Culture Job postings traditionally have been written from a neutral perspective. Fortunately for job seekers, companies have started to realize that by writing job postings in a way that reflects their culture, they can attract applicants that fit their organization. Take note of how the job ad is writtenfor example, formal versus informal, professional versus humorousand demonstrate fit by mirroring that sentiment through the language in your application. Font, Colors, and Branding A unique way to target your application is to design your resume so it matches or subtly mirrors the company’s brand. By using the same resume font, colors, and design elements, you can align yourself with the employer early on in the application process. By deconstructing a job posting, you can get a more complete picture of what the employer is looking for.  Use all the information available to write stronger, more targeted applications that will get you noticed!

Sarcasm vs. humor in the workplace

Sarcasm vs. humor in the workplace Sarcasm vs. humor in the workplace A rabbi, a priest, an imam, and a porn star walk into a bar … if you think a joke with that intro counts as appropriate workplace humor, you probably haven’t been paying enough attention. So, what does count as the right kind of humor and is sarcasm every an appealing option?A few professional wits weighed in on the appropriate use of humor in the workplace.Humor can get you noticed: “Humor is a way that you can leave a memorable or lasting impression,” said writer/producer Alana Sanko. “If your email or cover note is among a stack of other applicants, the right use of humor can make you stand out.”Make it matter: Don’t just slip in a joke or emoji for effect. Sanko said that as beneficial as humor at work or in meetings is, you should always try to be meaningful and honest: “People want to connect, and sharing a laugh with someone is an all-around positive (often bonding) experience.” Don’t overdo it. “A little can go a long way. Don’t want to push humor at t he expense of coming across as not serious about whatever it is you’re discussing,” she added.Use humor as a tool: “Humor is a great way to deflect situations and win over coworkers and clients. No one wants to be around a sad sack. But everyone loves to be around an upbeat, funny person,” said publicist and comic Jackie Saril. “I lost my younger brother and best friend close together and I healed myself through laughter. I decided to learn stand up to make others laugh.”But maybe not in an email: Unless you know someone personally, try to keep things professional. “I’ve learned the hard way that humor and Outlook invites do NOT mix,” said writer Claire Zulkey who runs literary humor reading series Funny Ha-Ha. Zulkey says she hasn’t worked in an office for a while, but learned if she has something funny to say, in-person is preferable to email. Zulkey tries to tone down her friendly vibe. “I’m fine with my professional emails being less personable. Work-wise it’s just too risky you might catch somebody on a bad day, or they misread something, and it’s just embarrassing and a time-waster.”Use measured sarcasm, if at all: “I tend to be sarcastic in my private life and more upbeat onstage,” said Saril. “Of course, sarcasm does appear in my act. Especially if I’m talking about politics. Which I try not to.”Sanko believes sarcasm can be a turnoff. Before you add snark to a conversation, think carefully: “Do you know the person at all? Do you have any friends or colleagues in common that might give you a sense of someone’s sensitivities? It’s a complicated process and too sensitive for the work environment.”Mean what you say (don’t meme what you say): Even if things are tense at work, don’t go for the easiest laugh. “Something that depresses me is going online and seeing how many people think they’re funny using the same jokes. ‘Oh, you’re using that Gene Wilder meme? Tell me more,’  â€ Zulkey said. For that reason, she’s tightened her social media circle “because if I try to be funny and it fails, at least it’s in front of people who know me [in real life].” She also no longer tries to be the most interesting one in the group. “The cachet of saying the edgiest thing or having the hottest take has really worn off for me in the last couple of years,” Zulkey added. “What if I die and the last tweet I made was about hating my children and I wasn’t alive to defend it as the hilarious joke that it is?”Be true to yourself (and personal brand): Whoopi Goldberg was executive producer of a show Sanko wrote for Nickelodeon and she continues to develop with Goldberg and the president of her company, Tom Leonardis. Sanko cited Goldberg as an example of authenticity in humor. “When she speaks about issues (often on The View) she’s not just speaking as a movie star, she’s a woman, a mother, a grandmother and a great-grandmother who has lots of perspective and a natural a bility to use humor to bring her audience together.” Though what she says isn’t always popular, “She doesn’t do it to get a shock reaction,” Sanko said. “It really does come from whatever she believes and I think that when her true fans disagree, they at least respect her opinion.”Sanko offered tips to inject more humor at work or in emails: If it’s not a formal situation, you can try to write like you talk, using dashes (- ) or punctuation that will emphasize you’re not being serious. Less is more. You want to leave them wanting more, not wear out your welcome. Avoid anything controversial, especially with someone you really don’t know - it can be distracting and you could accidentally offend someone. If you’re sending a thank you note and there is something you can call back from your meeting with a bit of humor, that can really be effective and put a nice callback button on your engagement. At the end of the day, Sanko reminds us, “There is always someone out there you can and will offend and depending on the situation you have to gauge the pros and cons of the risk.”

Majority of us are looking for a new job at our jobs

Majority of us are looking for a new job at our jobs Majority of us are looking for a new job at our jobs In my last class of school, my professor offered his students one piece of parting career advice that has stayed with me years later. The best time to find a job, he advised, was when you already have a job. You have the greatest leverage when the hiring manager knows you could walk away, he said.This is advice that many employees beyond me are taking to heart. In a new survey from global staffing firm Accountemps, the vast majority of working professionals - 78% - said they felt at least somewhat comfortable looking for a new job while with their present company.In fact, they were so comfortable that a majority of workers were also doing their job hunt at their current workplace. Sixty-four percent of respondents said they were doing their search from their jobs. But before you set up a job interview, you will need to be discreet, careers experts advise.The perils of job hunting at your jobMillennials ages 18 to 34 were the most open to conducting job searches at their jobs, compa red to older generations, according to the survey. Men were also more likely to job hunt on the clock with 72% of them looking, compared to 55% of women doing the same.While job hunting at work is increasingly common, there are many ways this method can backfire, as a recent Wall Street Journal article illustrates. In the article, one job seeker told his boss he was going to a doctor’s appointment but forgot he had a shared calendar with his colleagues that revealed he was going to “interview with Company X.” The job seeker said his boss never fully trusted him again after the incident. It is a lesson in discretion. Even as you seek out a new job, you want to preserve your current relationships, because careers are long and you never know who you may work with again.Job hunting, in general, is hard. Looking for a new job is an unpaid second job on top of your actual work. It can be easy to answer LinkedIn connections at your job. But career experts said that keeping boundaries between the two activities is key to keeping your current workplace happy.“While it’s OK to pursue new opportunities while employed, a search should never interfere with your current job,”  Michael Steinitz, executive director of Accountemps, said in a statement. “Schedule interviews during lunch breaks or outside of business hours, and avoid posting anything on social media that indicates you’re on the market.”

This is the exact amount of alcohol you should be drinking

This is the exact amount of alcohol you should be drinking This is the exact amount of alcohol you should be drinking Some of us wind down the day with a glass of wine without guilt. We know that alcohol abuse is a problem, but moderate drinking has been permitted by  the  Dietary Guidelines for Americans  and other health standards that acknowledge that one or two drinks a day is not bad for you and can even confer  some health benefits.But according to a new review of 694 existing studies on global alcohol consumption habits and nearly 600 studies on alcohol and health for Lancet, no amount of drinking is good for you. There is no wiggle room for a drink here and there if you want to be safe. “The widely held view of the health benefits of alcohol needs revising, particularly as improved methods and analyses continue to show how much alcohol use contributes to global death and disability,” the study concluded. “Our results show that the safest level of drinking is none.”That’s right, the risks so outweigh the benefits of drinking that if you truly want to guard your health, you’re bett er off not drinking altogether.No amount of drinking is safe for your bodyAcross the world, drinking alcohol is a popular activity. The researchers estimated that 2.8 billion people are current drinkers. But this popular pastime comes with fatal consequences. In 2016, the researchers found that alcohol consumption led to 2.8 million deaths and was the leading risk factor for premature death and disability among people ages 15-49.No amount of moderation could minimize the health risks alcohol causes, the researchers concluded.  People who had one alcoholic drink per day had a 0.5% higher risk of getting cancer-related health problems like tuberculosis, self-harm, cancer and road injuries. These risks went up the more you drank. Two drinks bumped that number to 7%. Five drinks made it 37%,  Emmanuela Gakidou, senior author of the report, calculated.Although it’s true that moderate drinking did give women some protective benefits with diabetes and heart disease, the researchers sugge sted that the bigger health risks outweighed these benefits.“Taken together, these findings emphasize that alcohol use, regardless of amount, leads to health loss across populations,” the researchers said.

4 Steps to Speak Better in Interviews

4 Steps to Speak Better in Interviews 4 Steps to Speak Better in Interviews Filler words like “um,” “ahh,” “so,” “like” and “you know” can reduce your credibility as a speaker and hurt your chances in a job interview.Recently I attended a panel discussion with three speakers. One of the speakers was a well-spoken young woman, but she used “filler words” excessively and to her detriment. In her first two minutes speaking to the audience she used 10 filler words - most prolifically, “um.”After the panel discussion I turned and asked the people sitting with me if they noticed the excessive use of the word “um.” They responded, “Notice? I couldn’t concentrate on a word she said. All I heard was ‘um.’ ”What are filler words? They’re tics of speech such as “um,” “ahh,” “so,” “like” and “you know” that we use to fill gaps and pauses in our speech. Most of use too many of them, and they can reduce your credibility as a speaker and hurt your chances in a job interview.At Corporate Speech Solutions, we r ecommend speakers try to maintain a limit of two filler words in every two minutes of speech. Any more than that and you begin to sound less professional and less qualified.During a job interview, you may be asked questions that you are not prepared to answer. Don’t fill your answer with excessive “um’s.” Even worse, be careful of “like” and “you know.” These speech patterns may stand between you and the job.Filler words can dilute the message and make you sound timid. When you use them excessively, it makes you sound unsure of yourself and uncertain of your answer. You want the interviewer to see you as a confident executive and a subject-matter expert.The key to reducing filler words is a relatively easy, four-step process. Like anything, it takes practice.1. Awareness:Listen to yourself on tape during a telephone conversation and count the use of “uh,” “um,” “like” or “you know.” Remember, if they occur more frequently than two times in two minutes , you need to work on modifying the habit.2. Recognize your patterns.I have noticed that many of my clients habitually start sentences with “um.” Others may use the word “and” as a connector instead of using a period. Still others have a tendency to add “you know?” at the end of a sentence as confirmation of what they said. Recognize your own personal pattern if you want to address it.3. Anticipate that you are about to use a filler word!Once you are aware of your pattern, you will recognize when you are about to use a filler word in your speech.4. Pause.Once you know it is coming, take a pause. We call it “strategic pausing.” Strategic pausing will give you the time to think of what you want to say, say it and move on without inserting the filler word. Strategic pausing does not just give you time to think; it adds impact to your message. Resist the urge to fill the time with a “filler” word and you will automatically sound more impressive.Practice these techniq ues every day until the filler words are no longer a part of your working speech pattern. Remember not to use the filler words when leaving voicemail messages. Notice how and when others use filler words. Does it sound professional?Learning to eliminate your filler words will enhance the effectiveness of your speech and the professionalism of your interviews.

Best Practices for Building Your Creative Portfolio

Best Practices for Building Your Creative Portfolio Best Practices for Building Your Creative Portfolio Just like a museum that pulls from its archives to create exhibits on a theme, your creative portfolio?should be?a curated collection of your work, adapted?for each client or job opening you pursue. The best agencies expect job seekers’ portfolios to be targeted to the skill set, industry knowledge and?discipline required for the position or project they seek. If you want to land a coveted design gig, you'll need to fine-tune both your physical and?online portfolios. Here are some portfolio tips to help you rise above the competition. Create a portfolio even if you're not a designer It's a no-brainer that every designer should have a?killer portfolio. But copywriters, account executives and marketing managers can benefit from creating portfolios, too. In fact, because it's not as common for those who work outside the field of design?to have a portfolio, creating a collection of your work can help you stand out from your competitors and demonstrate your initiative and organizational skills. Think both digital and analog A portfolio website  may help you get your foot in the door with an agency, but it's helpful to be able to show off?something physical when you want to call out specific examples of content you've created during a job interview. That’s why, whatever kind of creative role you hope to land, you need?to maintain both online and physical versions of your portfolio. Include the optimal number of pieces How many content pieces do you need in your physical book? Advertising and marketing executives surveyed by The Creative Group said they prefer to see eight items, on average, in someone's design portfolio. In a?digital portfolio, you can include more samples, as long as they're organized by category and easy to navigate. Employers are looking for eye-catching pieces that highlight your ability to: Think strategically Communicate complex concepts Use multiple software applications Solve real-world problems as part of your client's objectives SEARCH OUR JOB OPENINGS Essential components Focus on the most essential elements of your online portfolio. Whether you build?a personal website or use a portfolio website, your?online portfolio?should follow these rules: Create a?home page that clearly conveys who you are and the services you offer. Some visitors may not go any further than your home page. Include a brief biography, full resume and highlights of your client list (assuming you have permission to talk about the work). Testimonials lend even more credibility. Display your contact info on every page. Don't leave any prospective employer or client wondering how to get in touch with you. Divide your work into clear categories. This makes it easier for potential clients to browse content that is relevant to them.? Give a brief description of each project. Explain who you worked with and the objectives you followed. Supplying a printer-friendly resume?is especially important?if you're looking for a full-time job, so make sure it's easily accessible and ready to print. (A PDF file?is best.) All your files should be sized appropriately so that images load quickly. Keep your portfolio current by adding new samples (and promote them on social media when you do). Use search engine optimization techniques to make your portfolio easier to find. Strategically showcase?your work Depending on your particular strategy for approaching the market, organize your online and physical portfolios by industry, media specialty or chronology. For your hard-copy version, start with your strongest piece and end with your second-best option. Include: The name of the client for whom you produced the piece (again, be sure to obtain permission) The date it was completed A sentence or two explaining your role and the project objective The name of the software you used Any positive outcomes (awards, client praise, increased sales, better customer engagement, etc.) Make sure all of the samples in your portfolio are free of smudges, folds, tears or extraneous markings. Show one only item at a time to avoid a chaotic, cluttered look. Use pocket pages for your resume, biography, and client list;  carry bulky or odd-shaped items separately. Perfect your pitch Even a stellar professional?portfolio won't win over?a potential client if your verbal presentation turns into a 20-minute monologue. Select five pieces that best represent your skills and how they served a company's needs. For each one, develop a brief pitch that addresses the objective, your role and the results. Revenue, stats and percentages are instant indicators of how your work made a difference. The more you can quantify a?project's outcome, the better. Answering common portfolio?questions Here’s how to respond to questions that might trip you up during a portfolio review: Q: What would you have done differently with this piece? A:?Never disparage a former employer or client. Instead, demonstrate tact and diplomacy. Discuss what you might have done with a bigger budget or more time, for instance. Q: What do you think of our current marketing materials? A:?Don't harshly critique the work or give hollow praise. Show that you're observant by commenting on the strengths and weaknesses of each piece. Suggest how you would improve the collateral to better meet business needs. Q: Which piece are you most proud of? A:?Keep in mind that employers may be more interested in why you're pleased with the sample than in the work itself, because your answer reveals the things that inspire or motivate you. Q: What was your role in this piece? A: Resist the temptation to exaggerate your contributions. If your role in a project was minimal, it should not be included in your book. If the piece was a group effort, explain how the team worked together and use the opportunity to highlight your communication and collaboration skills. Make it a living document Finally, keep updating your portfolio with your best work so the?samples are fresh when a career opportunity arises. It's far easier to archive and summarize your work when you've just completed it than to revisit it months later when you’ve forgotten many of the details. Regular maintenance also makes it easier to swap pieces in and out of your physical portfolio as you customize it for a potential employer. The bottom line: There's no one-size-fits-all portfolio solution. To land a job, you'll need to tailor your?portfolio?so it presents work that's most relevant to the position. Tags
