How To Create A Resume For An Internal Promotion

The only time most people think about their resume is when they’re looking for a new opportunity with a different employer. But, that’s not the case. A winning resume can increase your odds of success when applying for an internal promotion. If you’re competing with outside candidates, you already have one thing going for you. You’re already there. When you have a history with the employer, they don’t have to worry whether or not you’re a culture fit. Hopefully, you also know some, if not all, of the players which might include the hiring manager, the HR team, and anyone else with influence ..read more

After two years of virtual everything, in-person events are back. I’m headed to 2 holiday networking events this week. It’s the first time I’ll be going to a local industry event in over two years. I’m excited and a bit nervous. Most people I talk to say they hate networking events. They feel awkward and uncomfortable. They are tired of boring conversations. And they feel like they never met anyone anyway. If that’s you, I’m going to help you change that right now. CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE Let’s start with attitude. A lot of people don’t like networking because they think of it as transactional ..read more

Three Ways To Boost Your Personal Brand On Linked In

by Annette Richmond

Some think the idea of having a personal brand is something new. It’s not. I first read a book about personal branding almost 20 years ago. Fast Company published an article about personal branding—”The Brand Called You” by Tom Peters—in 1997. Whether you realize it or not, you already have a personal brand. It’s what people say and think about you when you’re not around. You probably think of it as your reputation. Everything you say and do in person and online affects your personal brand. As your face to the business world, your LinkedIn profile contributes to that. You’re missin ..read more

Make It Easy For Recruiters To Say Yes To You

Most recruiters and hiring managers are sourcing candidates on social media, particularly LinkedIn.  In fact, 53% of recruiters said they found the highest quality candidates on Linkedin when responding to Jobvite’s 2021 Recruiter Nation Survey. This is great news if you have a robust, optimized LinkedIn profile. As a recruiter I spent hours on LinkedIn sourcing candidates, often scrolling through 500+ possible matches. Some were easily eliminated due to missing or inappropriate photos. My all-time favorite unsuitable photo is the woman wearing a wedding gown, veil, and all. Potential c ..read more

LinkedIn Is A Noisy Place – Make Sure You Stand Out

LinkedIn is an incredibly noisy place. If you want people to notice you, you must make sure you stand out. In a good way. Replace LinkedIn’s generic background image which makes you look generic too. (Watch my video to learn how to create your own here.) Write a headline that sells you to employers or potential clients, because you are more than your job title. You might include: Your target title – VP, Marketing, Senior Financial Services Executive, etc. Some of your top skills – relevant to an employer or potential client search – SEO, Business Development, Client Retention, etc. A tagli ..read more

After 2 plus years, in-person networking events are back. While you may not find pre-pandemic crowds yet, attending these events is an important part of the job-search process. The truth is that people like to do business with people they know, like, and trust. This philosophy extends when it comes to filling open positions. It’s one of the reasons that companies have employee referral programs. It’s also one of the reasons you should have been attending virtual events, and have to ease back into in-person. There are many networking opportunities out there. Industry Events If you’re looking ..read more

Recruiters Don’t Work For You

I get a lot of questions about recruiters. The most often asked question is who the recruiter works for. The short answer is the recruiter isn’t working for you. While, someone who’s out of work recently told me it’s cruel to say this, it’s true. Retained and contingency recruiters work for the one who pays them. And that’s the employer. Retained recruiters are paid a fee to find candidates and are generally paid whether the employer hires them or not. Contingency recruiters are paid only if the employer hires one of their candidates. Their fee is a percentage based on the candidate’s first ..read more

The Power Of Doing One New Thing

Do one thing every day that scares you. — Eleanor Roosevelt It’s not easy to step out of our comfort zone and do something that scares us. But, the only way to make those scary things less scary is to step up and do the things we’re afraid of. I speak from experience. Although most people wouldn’t know it, I’m an introvert. I used to be one of those who stood alone at networking events too shy to introduce myself. Two decades later, chatting with strangers is pretty easy. Doing one thing that scares you every day, as Eleanor Roosevelt suggests, is a tall order. So I’ll make the challenge muc ..read more

How Recruiters Review Your Resume (It’s Not How You Think)
Career Intelligence Resume Writing And Career Services
by Annette Richmond
2y ago
Just as resumes that don’t generate results have the same problems, resumes that resonate with recruiters and employers share commonalities. Effective resumes immediately grab the reader’s attention. They demonstrate what sets that candidate apart from the competition. Many people think that recruiters begin by reading a resume from top to bottom. However,  the results of a 2012 Ladders study proved that in most cases, they don’t. The Ladders had recruiters review resumes while wearing eye-scanning goggles. The main talking point, or buzz, from that study, was that recruiters spent less ..read more

Do You Have A “Tombstone” Resume?
Career Intelligence Resume Writing And Career Services
by Annette Richmond
2y ago
While most people think of resumes as employment histories, today’s resumes are marketing tools designed to sell you (the product) to a potential employer (the buyer). They are not boring lists of responsibilities. They are a place to document everything you do on a day-to-day basis.  They don’t include every job you’ve ever had or every single thing you’ve done during your career. That style of resume is sometimes called a “Tombstone” resume because it focuses on the past, not the future. To be effective, your resume needs to highlight the skills and achievements that make you valuable ..read more
