On The Job

OCTOBER 10, 2014

Job fairs are a great chance to practice your networking skills and develop your personal brand pitch. Carry your things in a professional tote or briefcase, and keep your coat hung up or neatly folded over your arm. Eat or drink away from the recruiter tables – keep at least one hand free to shake hands and accept business cards.

Practically Perfect PA

OCTOBER 23, 2013

In many conversations that I have with assistants one of the topics that always comes up is the lack of training opportunities that we receive. Many companies do not pay for their assistants to receive training and they don’t encourage assistants to keep their skills up to date. I tweeted about the show, the speakers and the content.

The Shrink for Entrepreneurs

A great network is the foundation of every successful entrepreneurial career. As tempting as it sounds (especially for introverts) big business wins don’t happen from years of slaving alone in your basement. Go to “Networking Events” Don’t do it. Network for Direct Sales. You see the problem?

.  You see, while I really love getting up on stage and sharing my message, I get really uncomfortable off of the stage.   Once I get to know you, I'm comfortable and in some instances you can't shut me up!    You'll be amazed how many will walk up to you and start a conversation.

Did you use the event as a chance to network with everyone, or stand alone and drink free coffee? It’s a chance to meet and impress employers, network with the business community and hone your job search skills. Carry your things in a professional tote or briefcase, and keep your coat hung up or neatly folded over your arm.

But it got me to thinking that no matter how many "rules" I provide about networking and resumes and other stuff, there are always those tricky little things that can trip you up if no one tells you. Sit up straight. Always sit up straight with your feet on the floor. Ditch the backpack. Dont play with your phone.

First, what you have been up to recently that is exciting, fun or new, why and what sort of job you are looking for, and your contact information and an online link to your resume or a social media profile (more on this later). Those who are too busy will probably just read it and delete. And then share 3 things about yourself.

I think Tasks is one of Outlooks best-kept secrets, but it shouldnt be and is a great way to follow up on items. If I send an email to a co-worker requesting information, I immediately drag it from my Sent items to my Tasks, set a reminder to follow up and write in the Subject line "Did I get this information".

Got hired after a job interview? Don’t create a product then look for the customer or you are in danger of ending up with a spare bedroom full of beautiful, but ultimately unsellable dog nose hair trimmers. Back in the days when I bought into the hyperbole of The Hustle™, I went to a lot of networking meetups. You sold yourself.

Doesn’t have an office and most of the time doesn’t have business cards either (the new dial tone being twitter , of course). I did a lot of trial and error but in the end I come up with quite a nice setup. Our work is less and less tied up to a physical location. For a digital nomad the world is the office. And why?&#.

Recruit CRM

Just come up with 3 or 4 niches that you actually give a damn about. Email the owners and offer to guest post or to do an interview. One of the best benefits of spreading into other niches is how you’ll come up with out-of-the-box ideas on how to one-up the value you offer to your existing customers in your main niche.

Even though the articles were on specific topics, I could take one or up to three sentences from one article and morph it into another article on a different topic. I also can use the recording to make a cd and give to potential clients or current clients instead of a business card or brochure. Never Throw Anything Away!
