Resumes, Handbills, and Interviews: How to avoid the mistakes that cost you the job offer, use techniques to shorten your job search timeline, and win the offer by edging out your competition. Critically, learn why your resume needs to be Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and PARSING tool compliant. Most resumes are NOT, and often applicants who are not up to date on understanding how often technology and automation plays a role in the process become a casualty. This is perhaps the most critical and important element of conducting a successful search with meaningful activity. Not knowing the ATS/Parsing issues will surely lengthen a job search cycle unnecessarily, while also limiting the opportunity to be interviewed.

An effective content marketing strategy combines SEO and social media marketing with high-quality blog and website content. Social media networks are key distribution tools for all of your blog content.
Social media marketing is the modern version of word-of-mouth advertising. The social sharing of blog content helps establish credibility, drive new leads, and build that very important lasting first impression.

How to Use LinkedIn as a College Student - Get Jobs and Internships FastJosh Hill
Learn how to use LinkedIn as a Student (and as a professional) to increase visibility, credibility, and calls from recruiters. Shape your profile to get that interview, internship, and more by following a few simple steps.
This curriculum explores the concept of a professional brand and introduces young people to the many resources available on LinkedIn, including mentors, jobs and internship opportunities.
Building and maintaining a brand presence during lockdown is crucial to the survival of any SME during such challenging times.
With more than 675 million members worldwide, LinkedIn refer to themselves as the world’s largest professional network.
211 million of these members are located within Europe, and LinkedIn says that more than two new members join the platform every second, BUT alarmingly, only 51% of all these users have complete profiles.
LinkedIn favours users with complete profiles, so much so that they are 40 times more likely to receive opportunities through LinkedIn, this includes job opportunities and sales leads. In fact, it is worth noting that 2017 studies performed by the platform themselves showed that 80% of B2B leads actually come from LinkedIn.
In the 2018 ‘B2B buyers survey report’, performed by Demandbase, 52% of buyers said LinkedIn had had the biggest impact on their research process.
With the current situation, companies that didn’t previously use LinkedIn are now placing more emphasis on this than ever before.
Your task is to keep your head above the rest (that’s over 30 million companies by the way), and that actually isn’t as hard as you may think.
In this presentation we cover:
1. An introduction on how to create an All Star profile
2. The importance of building connections and how to go about it
3. Managing your endorsements
4. Asking for recommendations
5. Make sure your profile is public
6. An overview of the dashboard
7. The importance of staying active
Plus, a bonus tip on improving your company page.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

LinkedIn - The Power of the 2nd Degree
1. The Power of the 2nd Degree It’s not who you know… … it’s who who you know knows! Presentation for the Greater Cleveland PC Users Group March 12, 2011 By member Susie Sharp
2. Why Join LinkedIn? Link to Why Join LinkedIn? video on YouTube If you are viewing this on the web or in SlideShare, the video will play automatically. You will need to use the controls at the bottom of the player to see the entire video.
4. Of those 101 Million World Subscribers, 48% (48.48M) live in the U.S. 20.9% are 18-24 72.1% are 25-54 6.9%are 54+ What’s wrong here? Amodiovalerio Verde - LinkedIn Demographics, Jan 2011
5. 80%of employers use LinkedIn to scout for new hires Will you be where they’re hunting?
6. Settings First, here’s a guide to the new Settings still being rolled out: Introducing Simpler Controls for LinkedIn Account Settings - Nick Posner
7. The Photo A recruiter’s comment: “When you make networking the focus of your LinkedIn activities, it becomes clear that you need to include a photo, because we (all humans) bond more with a face than with the typed text.” Photos On Resumes Or LinkedIn - Advice To The Job Seeker - by Peggy McKee
8. The Photo A recruiter’s comment, continued: LinkedIn users expect to see a photo, and it looks a little odd if you don't... like you're trying to hide something. A photo makes other users more comfortable connecting with you, which is one of your primary goals.” (emphasis added) Photos On Resumes Or LinkedIn - Advice To The Job Seeker - by Peggy McKee
9. The Photo “Not only is it expected, it's a valuable part of your online credibility and networking success.” Photos On Resumes Or LinkedIn - Advice To The Job Seeker - by Peggy McKee
10. The Photo Want another reason? LinkedIn claims that you’re 40 times more likely to turn up in a search if your profile is complete. Still debating about whether or not to use a picture on LinkedIn? Read that statistic again.
11. The Photo You can’t get to 100% unless you’ve complied with LinkedIn’s guidelines – which includes a profile shot.
12. The Photo A personal story: Betsy, who had always made organic soaps and lotions for friends and family, started making them for sale when the economy turned bad. Cleveland’s Mike Caldwell helped grow her business with his urban entrepreneur incubator, Business Greenhouse Ventures. When I talked to Mike’s incubator people on LinkedIn, the room grew silent when I mentioned the importance of a picture. “They’ll see I’m old! Or fat! Or (Heavens to mergatroid!) black! Betsy spoke up and said she’d put her picture on LinkedIn when she could have one taken where she’d be looked at as a businesswoman first, and a black woman second. I took the challenge. My first shot appears above. OK, but…
13. The Photo … off we were to Nordstrom’s for a free Dior makeup session and accompanying professional photo shoot! Mission accomplished! Betsy Gates Simply Betsy Company now sells online at http://simplybetsy.com/ as well as at the Cleveland Food Coop… with more good things in the works. Just look confident, like you know something that we don’t, smile, and you’ll be fine.
14. The Photo The Don’ts of Profile Shots No full bodies, no spouses! No old photos! No kids! No half bodies! And.. well.. UGH!
15. The Photo Can you count the ways? I count at least 7 things here that folks might find off-putting in a profile shot . How many can you count?
16. The Photo LinkedIn Profile Shot I’d like to see: It works because it’s his BRAND … and nobody rocks a mullet like the Dog! And finally, the profile we’ll never see:
19. Experience Now that the profile shot issue has hopefully been put to bed, open up your resume on your computer. It’s a personal choice as to how much work history you choose to include. LinkedIn recommends 3 jobs. Some prefer limiting their work history to a (15) fifteen year period.
20. Experience Whatever you do… Make sure the history on your LinkedIn profile matches that on your resume. Discrepancies will raise eyebrows – and questions.
21. Education Besides your college, be sure to include in your high school if you live in one of those cities where that matters. In Cleveland, Ohio, when someone asks where you went to school, they often mean HIGH SCHOOL, not college. In these types of towns, local alumni often have a powerful LinkedIn networking mechanism. Use it.
22. New – LinkedIn Skills Link to LinkedIn Skills video on YouTube If you are viewing this on the web or in SlideShare, the video will play automatically. You will need to use the controls at the bottom of the player to see the entire video.
23. Executive Summary You have 2,000 characters here to use. You don’t need to use all of them. Write in FIRST PERSON ALWAYS. This is where you write your ‘sales brochure’. Do not – I repeat – do NOT regurgitate the stale summary paragraph off from your resume. Read what you’ve written aloud. If you trip over a word or it doesn’t seem natural, change it. Hint: Write as you would if you weren’t trying to impress anyone.
24. Executive Summary Special Circumstances – Job Seekers I recommend that job seekers insert a line with their email address at the top of the Executive Summary, skip a line, and then insert their summary text. This makes it easier for recruiters and hiring authorities to reach out.
25. Specialties Put your important keywords here. You can comma separate or put in a list; it doesn’t matter. These are the words that Google uses to rank you in its search. If you want, you can use the Google Keyword Toolto see which keywords work best. This, and many other tools, can be found at http://www.googlekeywordtool.com/
26. Your professional headline These are the two lines people will see when they see a brief description of you. LinkedIn provides one for you based on your most current job entry. Most of them tell people nothing about you. Use your Professional Headline as a chance to stand out above the others and educate viewers. Title / company doesn’t do it unless you’re Steve Jobs. Try working with this: You help [who?] with [what?]
28. Recommendations Remember: In order to fulfill LinkedIn’s 100% complete rating, you’ll need to secure aminimum of (3) three professional recommendations. Most recruiters recommend a minimum of (4) four. If a recommendation needs tweaking, it can be sent back to the writer for clarification before it’s published. And if you feel inspired, it’s considered good form to write recommendations for others – but they must be genuine.
29. Websites Next to Websites you’ll find places to put your website, your blog, other social profiles or your company website. Remember to customize the textso it’s not LinkedIn’s generic text showing ( e.g. “My Website”).
30. Twitter If you use Twitter, you’ll want to customize that as well. Click below for Instructions on Linking Twitter and LinkedIn: YouTube: Connecting Linkedin to Twitter - Julie Alpaugh
31. Your Public Profile URL Your default ‘Public Profile’ URL will be a combination of letters and numbers like http://www.linkedin.com/pub/brenda-abrams/9/b72/238 You’ll want to customize it right away. Then copy the customized URL and incorporate it into your email signature, resume and business card, along with a little LinkedIn logo.
32. Your Public Profile URL You can also have some fun with your custom URL: Always test your QR code before distributing. Great primer on QR Codes! How QR Codes Can Grow Your Business - Jeff Korhan
34. Status Updates A relatively new addition to LinkedIn, Status Updates broadcast your words – and your links – putting your name and picture in front of all your connections each time they are posted. Idea: Periodically post a link and a comment to an article addressing cutting edge technology in your industry. You can also integrate with your Twitter, but beware of being too ‘noisy’ in this space.
44. Connections You’ll want to be careful here. If you’re not paying attention, it’s easy to send off generic LinkedIn invites to your entire email address list…. and a good portion of them will be deleted. LinkedIn will ‘know’ which one of your email addresses has a LinkedIn account, and there’s really no sense to sending off invitations to people who aren’t on LinkedIn. Watch the check boxes if you use this option.
45. Connections LinkedIn will search for people you may currently work with, or have worked with in the past.
51. Connections People You May Know Always add a personal note. It sets you apart. Each LinkedIn account comes with 3,000 invitations. Don’t waste them. Always replace the default text in an invitation with something personal. You’ve got 200 characters. PERSONALIZE
52. Connections LION (LinkedIn Open Networker) LION members accept invitations from anyone. They are know as Open Networkers. They will ask for you to send an invitation to them, as LinkedIn accounts only come with 3,000 invitations. It’s a personal choice.
53. Connections Invitation Etiquette Don’t misuse the first four categories when sending an invitation. Always write something brief and personal – in 200 characters or less. Always personalize.
54. Connections Invitation Etiquette Recipients can indicate that they don’t know you. If they do, you’ll be asked to enter an email address with each future invitation. FYI, LinkedIn deals sternly with users who accumulate more than a handful of “I don’t know” or “Spam” responses.
55. Connections Invitation Etiquette Invitation Pet Peeves Clicking “colleague,” “business partner,” “classmate” or “friend” when you aren’t or have never been. Lack of a personalized invitation. Typos.
56. Connections Invitation Etiquette Invitation text samples LinkedIn Invitations - Making them Great - By Scott Allen, The Virtual Handshake
57. Connections The Power of the Second Degree Click the hyperlink below to access the article and links to free eBook downloads and webinars. The Real Power of LinkedIn is in the Second Degree - Jan Vermeiren
58. Connections The Power of the Second Degree “Thinking that the power of the network is in the first degree is one of the largest barriers for people to really achieve their goals. The real power of the network is not in who you know, but in who they know. The real power of the network is in the second degree. There are many more opportunities there.” - Jan Vermeiren The Real Power of LinkedIn is in the Second Degree - Jan Vermeiren
59. Connections People You May Know The Power of the Second Degree You, and the people to whom you are connected are considered FIRST DEGREE CONTACTS. LinkedIn will suggest people who are connected to your 1st Degree contacts. These are called SECOND DEGREE CONTACTS.
61. Connections Reclaiming unaccepted invitations After a reasonable period of time has passed, you may want to hit ‘withdraw’ to reclaim for re-use. S/he won’t be notified.
62. Start a conversation with LinkedIn Groups Link to LinkedIn Group Conversations video on YouTube If you are viewing this on the web or in SlideShare, the video will play automatically. You will need to use the controls at the bottom of the player to see the entire video.
64. Go to LinkedIn Groups and look to see if any of your schools have LinkedIn alumni groups. Join. Allow members to contact you. Groups provide a very powerful way to network.
65. Groups You can send an invitation to anyone in a Group without having to know their email address. You may join a max of 50Groups Drupalcon DC 2009
66. Groups To connect with smart people, just use your noggin: Find out what Groups the smart people in your industry belong to, join, and click the ‘group’ radio button on your invitation form.
