Effective delegation and monkey managementSteve Urquhart
When someone on your team comes to you with a problem and you agree, consciously or otherwise, to do something about it, the monkey is now off their back and on yours. How can managers avoid these “upward-leaping” monkeys? This session, inspired by the book “The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey,” will provide insights into effective delegation, with an emphasis on how managers, team leaders, and project managers – pretty much anyone who finds themselves in a managing role – can meet their own priorities, give back other people’s monkeys, and help people learn to solve their own problems.

30. 7 Habits of a Highly-Effective Cover Letter It’s addressed to a real person; find out who the hiring manager is (LinkedIn, etc.) It opens with a strong first sentence to grab the reader’s attention. It is concise and easy to read, “less is more.” It is focused on what the job seeker has to offer to the employer. It conveys passion and competence. It requests an action from the employer, e.g. asks for the interview. It closes with enthusiasm and confidence. Elements of a cover letter 28
31. Cover letter – 4 paragraphs What’s in the letter? A concise introduction: This explains what you are applying for, how you found out about it and why you are seeking it. How you meet the requirements outlined in the job posting: (This is about positioning, and setting the tone – stand out!) How you will fit within the company: (Do your homework!) Thank the employer and ask for an interview: (Being assertive sends the right signal) 29
32. The résumé is the statement of abilities; it is the peanut butter of the application that will stick with the employer as they envision you using your skills for them. The cover letter, then, becomes our jelly — the sweetener of the application enticing employers to consider you a fit for the organization. PB&J … seriously? 30

44. Tips and tough love. Network, network, network. Don’t apply for jobs you aren’t qualified for. Keep busy during unemployment. Stop the mindless applications. Don’t answer the phone if you were asleep when it started ringing. Did I mention network? 42 Adapted from “Unemployed? Then Don’t Bother Applying,” by Suzanne Lucas, the Evil HR Lady (BNET)
45. Focus, focus, focus. A great résumé is written to position the job seeker for a specific career focus or goal. Cut until it bleeds. A résumé is not a life history; it doesn’t need to be. Common sense over ego. What are the highlights of your career as you see them? Stay current. Resume formats, techniques, and strategies change over time. Get fresh eyes. If you rely on spell–check to proofread your documents, you are relying on a flawed piece of technology for a very important task. Think achievements. Most people can itemize their job duties – things they are “responsible for”. Recognizing their achievements, however, is something different. Highlight a hidden asset. Competition is very tough these days. Is there one thing that could give you an edge? Some tips from the pros 43 http://www.getinterviews.com/doostang/
