Strengthen Your Network Through Personal Equity

Strengthen Your Network Through Personal Equity Note from Jason: This is the second guest-post from Pete Johnson, who is the HP.com Chief Architect. His first guest post is You Never Know Who It’s Going To Be. Pete, thanks a ton for your guest posts! Can you lend me $50? Seriously, I’m good for it, I swear. I mean, I post replies on JibberJobber all the time so you probably know who I am. So go ahead and show me Ulysses S. Grant. No? Why not? You probably have no incentive whatsoever to lend me money, and that’s my point. Having a network of people you know is one thing, but having a network of people who feel compelled to help you when asked is a whole lot better. A key to influencing the behavior of others is what I call â€Å"personal equity† and in order to utilize it fully you need to make deposits early and often. As an example, let’s look at a typical office scenario. Suppose a boss has to get across to an employee that a certain task has to be completed by a particular deadline. Consider these two different, and opposite, approaches: â€Å"Finish those TPS reports by 4:00 pm or you are fired!† Or â€Å"You know, I’m getting pressured from above to get these TPS reports finished off by 4:00 pm and I’d really appreciate it if you could get yours done on time. Also, say hello to your mother for me. I hope that extra time off I gave you last week was helpful.† Admittedly this is a bit contrived, but either approach would probably produce the desired short term result. The former is easier but relies on a very serious threat to induce the expected behavior. The latter is requires more foresight and uses indebtedness based on a prior favor to influence the employee. In other words, personal equity. Which one builds a better long term relationship, the threat or the reminder that a favor was extended? The favor does by a landslide. If someone has already done something to benefit you in some way, you feel more obligated to return the good feelings than you otherwise would. Case in point: this very article. In January, I connected with Jason based on a guest article he wrote on another blog. During a rapid email exchange, we soon both discovered we had a mutual goal of helping people with career development. He had this well established site focused on job search networking and I was just starting out on my blog dealing with the non-technical aspects of careers in engineering. It quickly became apparent that it would benefit me greatly to tap into his vast knowledge of the blogging world. After realizing this, I used my day job expertise as a website builder for a Fortune 10 company and pointed it at JibberJobber.com. I praised him for what he has done well with its architecture and made a few suggestions where he could be doing things better. Whenever I can, I sing the praises of JibberJobber in blog comment areas too, which he’s aware of since he’s set up the metrics tracking of his site well enough that he knows where his referrals come from. Low and behold, a few emails later I got the big question from Jason, â€Å"What can I do to help you?† I didn’t even have to ask him, he offered. The best job search is the one where the hiring manager knows who you are and comes looking for you. The same is true of any favor and by laying early groundwork, the return offer came looking for me. The key to building these relationships is in the sincerity of the effort. Yeah, I started doing little favors for Jason with the hope that he’d return them to me, but I genuinely care about what happens to his site and believe in what he’s trying to do with it. Had I just been in it for what the relationship could do for me, he’d see through that quickly and I’d just be an annoyance to him instead of an asset. Instead, personal equity has developed between us because of this authenticity and we’re both better off as a result (although, he might not just give me $50 either 8)). While you have to be wary of situations where you are making more deposits than the benefits you are receiving (or could potentially receive) dictate, it’s better to put into a relationship first and set the stage for a deeper interaction. That way when/if you do need something, you have some leverage to tap into based on that personal equity you already built. If you have already given to them, people are much more likely to give back to you and a broader set of career opportunities can be the big payoff.

On the Job by Anita Bruzzese How to Write an Executive Resume As an executive, you may believe that your experience and reputation precede you when throwing your hat into the ring for a potential new job. While thats true to some extent, you still cannot avoid putting together an executive resume and that resume is a key element in your successful quest for the position. Of course, an executive resume is often different than one where someone is applying for an entry-level job or a mid-level position. Executives, for example, have reached a level in their careers where they are able to show their distinct value to a company or industry, and potential employers want to know more about it. In addition, companies expect those at the executive level to provide some concrete ideas about how they will use their talents to make the company more successful or competitive or even solve some specific problems. Hiring managers have short attention spans and do not want to be overwhelmed with everything a candidate can do. As a recruiter or hiring manager reads your resume, they want to know, Can you do what I need done?'writesLisa Rangel of Chameleon Resume. With that in mind, here are some ways to make sure your executive resume stands out: 1. Use numbers If you increased sales by 35 percent in the first two years of leading a division, say so. An executive resume is going to be read by other executives theyre going to be looking for someone who can state(read more here)

Risk and Failure; Your Best Allies â€" CareerMetis.com Photo Credit â€" Pixabay.comIt happens all the time. Every freelancer had at least one big crash. That awesome idea, that winner solution, that unbelievable service everyone needs and YOU can offer turned into a major failure.It could not happen, but it did. Suddenly you “wake up” to a nightmare. That planned business has failed, miserably.evalNow you doubt if you made the right choice or should come back to the “real” world; the one that allows you to have a safe life working for others.It seems that being an entrepreneur is not a good idea.Let ´s come back to the safe world. Get back to your beige desk surrounded by white walls, in that horrible building working from nine to five. That’s your safe place. Your “comfort zone”.But you are a freelancer. You are not an employee.You are an EntrepreneurYou know that every failure is just a turn sign, not a stop.You understand that you need to correct your path, not to give up.You celebrate failure because it is a sign you ar e doing it right.evalIf you fail, it only means that you are acting, you are committing. You are taking action.And that’s what makes you an entrepreneur; take action on your goals.Life is made of decisions. You have to take chances. You must decide and take action. Every path you choose leads to your goal. If you are focused and have a plan chances are that you get that dream.Even so, you’ll find obstacles in your way.

6 Things Every Career Driven Millennial Should Do

6 Things Every Career Driven Millennial Should Do Six Steps to a Better Career Jack Welch  is one of the worlds most respected and celebrated  business icons, known for his track record of success, enormous love of people, fierce passion for winning, and unbridled desire to change the world for the better using his unique management practices.   As chairman and CEO of General Electric,  he  increased his company’s stock  by 4,000%  between 1981 and 2001.  Here are  some of his top career tips  useful for today’s  millennials.   1 Find where your passion and skills intersect.   Find what you love and involve that in your daily life. Although your greatest opportunities and deepest passions may not overlap entirely, it’s a good practice to include enjoyable tasks in your work life.   Once you find where  your skills  and  interests  intersect, Jack Welch recommends that you overlay that with  opportunity  to avoid  targeting  a market in which nobody is hiring. 2 Over deliver.   Do more than what you think will be sufficient. You should always be asking yourself whether your work is above average. It is nobody’s responsibility but your own to prove your worth in your position, company, or field of work. By taking  on  work that no one else will, you can show your boss initiative and build credibility.   3 Act on feedback.   Candor is one of the  most important concepts  a company can value. Because it is impossible for you to see your performance objectively 100% of the time, it’s important to seek candid, regular advice from supervisors, colleagues, and friends.     Mr. Welch tells us that,  â€œFeedback from anyone is good. Synthesize it, decide whether you want to act on it or not, but make a conscious decision not to blow it away.”   4 Don’t fear failure, embrace it head-on.   Things will go wrong (unexpected termination, bad bosses, dead-end jobs,  economic downturns). You must look at the facts, do a self-evaluation,  and  move on to take the next opportunity.   Your reaction in times of failure reveal true character don’t let it reflect badly on you  and you will stand apart from the masses.   5 Lead others.   Prepare for the possibility of leadership now rather than later. Practice taking on a mindset that different people succeed in the same roles with different sets of skills. Today,  shared leadership  is more important than ever because managers focus on their employees not themselves.   Conduct a self-evaluation of  your résumé, skill set, experience, and interest. When you identify areas in which you  are  lacking, make a game plan for tackling them head-on.   6 Never stop learning.   Only those who are naive think that questions are a sign of weakness. Ask important questions learn about the industry that interests you and its newest innovations. Never settle for “good enough.” Join Dana Manciagli’s Job Search Master Class ® right now and immediately access the most comprehensive job search system currently available!
