We studied job seekers who successfully found a job within 3 months. Here’s a sneak peek at how they used LinkedIn, and how you can too. Check out our free monthly webinars: http://premium.linkedin.com/jobsearch/webcasts.html/
Advanced LinkedIn Tactics for Your Job SearchLeggUpp
LinkedIn® can be one of the strongest arrows in your job search quiver, that is, if you are able to use it to its fullest, and to your advantage.
The objective for this presentation is to help to accelerate your success by imparting to you some new, actionable ideas, which will reduce the time that it takes to achieve your next great job or opportunity.
Our agenda includes the following:
1. PROFILE -- We’ll review your profile, and opportunities for making it stronger.
2. CONNECT -- We’ll look out how to connect, and how to find people to connect with.
3. GROUP -- We’ll cover LinkedIn® groups, and how they can help you to connect with more people.
4. SOCIAL -- And, we’ll show how you can then leverage these groups to become more active and socially visible in LinkedIn®.
5. COMPANIES -- We’ll look at what LinkedIn® has to offer with its Company profile view.
6. SKILLS -- We’ll review the skills feature, and the multiple ways that that feature can improve your search.
7. JOBS -- Finally, we’ll look at the Jobs search capabilities of LinkedIn®.
Networking. A majority of what this group is all about is Networking. You will learn some new ways to use LinkedIn®, which is a huge, online networking database tool. And, after the presentation, you’ll have an opportunity to introduce yourselves individually to your fellow attendees, which will form the basis for one-on-one networking conversations thereafter.
So, why Networking? Well, if we listen to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, this is THE place where the majority of all jobs are found.
So you did it. You sent your resume to everyone you know. You have scoured job sites.
But you haven't heard back on your resume. Or you are not been able to score interviews.
It's time to rethink your job search....
Read on to find out about the latest job trends and how you can adopt a completely different job search strategy.

See this presentation originally created for the Tutor Doctor franchise network to learn more
Managing projects effectively has become essential in every organisation large or small. The uncertainties of the world business economy, rapidly changing technology, and the intensifying focus on sustainability has driven many organisations to develop specific methods for managing projects and to seek highly qualified and competent people to manage those projects. These driving factors require today’s project managers to accept and adapt to change, lead diverse teams, act as ambassadors for their organisations and deal with a multitude of challenging project stakeholders.
It is clear that Project managers are placed in a unique position. They must balance their roles as leader and manager, interface with multiple types of stakeholders, are often the "face" of their organisation to its customers, and must deal with a seemingly unending stream of challenges to be successful. These challenges and the ability to address them require the project manager to maintain awareness of personal brand of and the impact it will have on project assignments, career opportunity, and the willingness of project teams to work for and support the project manager. As the profession of project management evolves and the demand for competent and value driven project managers increases, personal brand and reputation have become major factors in the criteria used to select and assign people to project leadership positions.
Indispensable Factors
The project manager must develop skills and competencies in several areas to be considered for an assign. In addition there are 4 major factors a project manager must address and continue to develop:
Accomplishability: your ability to achieve and deliver valued results.
Value/cost: the value delivered perception relative to the cost.
Supply/Demand: the market dynamics of your position, skills, etc.
Likeability: how others perceive you.
This presentation addresses the importance of the professional project manager in today’s business environment and the need for the project manager to continually enhance existing skills, adapt to a changing environment, and become a “go to” person in the organisation. Emphasis is placed on understanding the business needs of an organisation, clearly and visibly creating value from a client and supplier view point, and continually developing and managing personal brand.
Taking the Pain Out of Performance Reviews - Webinar 05_22_14BizLibrary

In this webinar we'll discuss:
The role of performance management.
Why we do performance reviews?
Key strategies for effective performance management.

Win or Lose---What Not to Do. Common Job Search Myths and Errors By Greg Davi...Greg David
Today's successful job search looks significantly different than it used to and unfortunately most in search mode are unaware of how to have the kind of success available to others who have mastered the "New Model" of job search and advanced to "playing chess" while traditional job seekers continue to play checkers. The game is different, the playing field looks the same but it isn't.
Learning the New Model not only makes a successful job search quick(er), fast(er), and easy(ier), it also helps professionals begin to learn the real process of successful career management which will protect them in the future from being being in transition again, or significantly lessens the time and resources to land in the future from months and months down to days and weeks, if at all. Presented by Greg David (Laka) of Laka & Company. Greg has been in the executive search and human capital advisory marketplace for more than 30 years and has also founded a separately successful firm helping others learn the new model of job search and career management.

Historically people used a "Happy---don't look" and "Unhappy---look" methodology for creating change and growth in their career.

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.

• Helps you avoid common career pitfalls.

7. Job Search Coaching.
Focuses Specifically on Job Search Success.
It used to be that you focused on a job search, only when you
were conducting one.
Not so anymore. Today’s savvy professional has to be ready for a
job search at any moment.
To avoid long periods of unemployment or being stuck in a dead
end job, you need to have a large active network and be widely
known as a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
9. •In a job search for more than 90 days.
•Not averaging 3 new interviews weekly.
•Not able to ‘get to offer’ for a PERM role 33-50% of the
time.
•LinkedIn profile has less than 20 views per day.
•When interviewing, keep coming in ‘number 2’ or worse.
Signs You Need a Job Search Coach.
10. • Prior job searches were uni-directional.
• You were a moth flocking to lights (jobs).
• You relied on responding to postings or want ads.
• You relied on recruiters and employment agencies.
But I Have Never Needed a Job
Search Coach Before.
11. Uni-directional Job Searches Don’t Work Today.
They are highly competitive.
You never hear back.
You have no control.
They are frustrating.
They significantly lengthen the search
cycle.
13. • Trial and error=long learning curve.
• Today’s job search is BI-DIRECTIONAL.
• You are the light. Jobs are moths. You make them
come to you.

You’ll Rely on Trial & Error.

46. Maslow’s Competency Model.
A coach helps you determine your levels of competency in a job
search, and is able to provide tangible ways to improve quickly.
47. Coaches Drive Your Success Up and
Weaknesses Down.
This is a model you can use daily, weekly,
monthly to SPIKE your success.
49. • It is human nature to think you can do it on
your own, but you cannot.
• It is the human condition to:
– Resist change.
– Seek out complacency.
– Avoid metrics and accountability.
– Avoid focusing on weakness or ‘hard’ things.
Wait. Why Can’t I Do This on My
Own?
50. • Have less than 10%W-5%M body fat.
• Have no debt.
• Be able to retire by the time they are 50.
• Speak more than one language.
• Have 0 divorces in their family tree.
• Have kids that all earn academic
scholarships.
If This Was True, Most People You
Know Would:
51. • Even if you could overcome the human condition
barriers, the time it would take you to learn all
the job search “secrets” would be time and cost
prohibitive.
• A qualified job search coach has more than 10
years of experience and has worked through at
least two recessions.
Don’t Play Doctor!
54. • Testing to foster insight into you, your
personality, strengths, areas for
improvement, and generally assess
performance ability and preferences.
• This is a very positive and meaningful step
in the process.
Step One.
56. • GOALS. You will go through a process to
define, detail, and document your short,
medium, and long term goals.
• Once defined, this will become a
continuously nurtured process serving as
the blueprint for all of your activity.
Step 2.
58. • Reading program: You’ll read to target
your strengths, areas of improvement, and
necessary skill/techniques.
• You’ll read, often to ‘plant seeds’ that will
take root later, or to prepare a ‘foundation’
for topics that are to come.
Step 3.
60. • Resume, handbill, bio evaluation and tune-
up.
• More than 85% of resumes have typos---
this gets you ruled out at the gate.
• Ho hum content does the same.
• Only 5% of resumes are written
successfully.
Step 4.
62. • Designing, developing, and documenting
your Subject Matter Expertise (SME):
– Resume, handbill, business card, bio, etc.
– PowerPoints, white papers, video
presentations, blogs, vlogs.
– Uploading your SME portfolio to virtual
sharing sites.
Step 5.
68. • Interview coaching to improve your
performance.
– Begins with a list of “do’s” and “don’ts”.
– Educates on techniques.
– Educates to improve performance.
Step 8.
70. • Activity, structure, and metrics:
– What do you do?
– When do you do it?
– Measurable outcome?
– Creating regular, consistent change.
– Knowledge transfer to drive progress quickly.
Step 9.
74. • Offer selection and negotiation.
• Onboarding.
• Goal design, documentation.
• Preparing for your annual review.
• Passively nurture your virtual SME weekly
and monthly.
Step 11.
76. • Tailor your resume to their job specs while
eliminating data that is not applicable.
• Eliminate objective, summary, more senior
titles, and make it appear to be as close to
a scope to scope match as you are able.
Coaching Tip 1.
78. • Use the empty space on your resume to add
keywords, buzzwords, etc.
• Block that text and turn font color to white so it is
not viewable with the human eye.
• Will cause the resume search results to bring
your resume closer to the top, and give it a
higher numeric qualifier.
Coaching Tip 2.
80. • Perform “HISTORICAL RECOLLECTION”: Identify the probable
criteria that the firm will evaluate you against.
• At the top of each page of a legal pad, list a single criteria that you
feel you’ll be measured against.
• Under each criteria, ‘brainstorm’ about useful examples to cite
during the interview (i.e. figures, facts, etc.).
• You shorten the time it takes to respond, and intensify the substance
that you reference.
Coaching Tip 3.
82. • All is fair in love, war, and job search:
– Use the ‘follow’ feature in LinkedIn to follow people
with your near identical skill set.
– They will follow firms they are applying at.
– It is called ‘telegraphing’ and it is a way to increase
your job leads.
Coaching Tip 4.
84. • Use a PULL APPROACH instead of a
PUSH APPROACH.
– Use data (3rd party articles, white papers, examples of
your work, etc.) to pull people towards you.
– Anything that will be seen as ‘pushy’ by the recipient
is the kiss of death.
Coaching Tip 5.
86. • Mirroring. Work to make yourself appear to be an exact
reflection of what they want.
• FOCUS ON MIRRORING when you apply, tailor your
resume, cover letter, complete application, email, and
interview.
• This will radically enhance the odds you keep “making
the cut” at each turn of the interview process.
Coaching Tip 6.
88. • Use the STAR technique in behavioral
interviews.
– Describe the Situation or Task.
– Describe the Action you took in response.
– Describe the Results (data driven answer).
Coaching Tip 7.
90. • Don’t ‘choke the baby’ or alienate others.
• Anxiety over ‘waiting’ is really your psyche telling
you that you do not have enough going.
• Resist the urge to ‘follow up’ and instead put
your energy into tasks to generate new activity.
Coaching Tip 8.
92. • When interviewing, BEWARE of CHECKLIST
questions.
• They require a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response—ONLY!
• Offer more & you’ll eat up valuable time.
• When in doubt, ask if they want more info.
Coaching Tip 9.
96. • Send a THANK YOU EMAIL within 24
hours of the interview. Make it GOLDEN.
• Make sure a 2nd set of eyes proof reads it.
• If it gets competitive, this might be what
you need to sway opinion.
Coaching Tip 11.
98. • Use their language every where you can.
• Get it from their web site, annual report, LinkedIn
or Facebook page.
• Think resume, cover letter, emails, interviews,
examples of work, SME info, etc.
Coaching Tip 12.
100. • Don’t play hot potato with hand grenades.
• Most job seekers cause themselves to be
ruled out by using poor techniques or
outdated methods.
• There are a million ways people do this.
Coaching Tip 13.
102. • If you earn $50K annually that is $4166.66 you
are losing monthly ($100K=$8333.33).
• Coaching is the best investment you can make
to SPIKE your hiring activity.
• Coaching is the best way to eliminate playing
hot potato with hand grenades.
