Function of Profiles online and off:
Why to have them and to focus on if you are using them to position and market yourself- what you want then to be saying… Talk about how to change the way that you want them to work for you
Main purpose of resumé - when I am talking about board positions… And to show everyone my expertise and to get involved.
Do you see linked in and bio as different ways to get people- do they have different functions?
Resumes are used in most regular companies for people to get work.
Miriam coaches people to combine and create their profiles online and to have a profile that helps people draw people to you when you have problems you can resolve- that’s how you can get work!!
In the past, you could only get a job with a resume, but now… you can use a profile to.
Elisa- When you are being searched for- How many of you do a google search of yourself to see how you look to someone if you are job hunting?
If you do not have enough of your expertise and value of the work that you value- you may want to turn the volume up on your profile and consulting self.
How many of you link have a professional and personal online?
All of my blogs link to one another… That’s not everyone’s cup of tea, though.
How many of you have gotten coaching on your resume or profile? Do you at least let someone look at it?
What is your advice to people?
- I read resumes from the bottom up. If you are interesting from the bottom and at the beginning… The end of someone’s resume ends up being some type of filler… “I can use the internet” End of your resume should be just as compelling as the beginning of it.
E- Miriam- I think that one of the most important things that job seekers do- look for your job position and how you think about yourself in terms of blog search. That is what I think about in terms of a professional resume. You want to be standable visually and appeal to computer systems that most employers are using to scan your resume. You want to pack in the words in the job descriptions… You want to target what they are looking for. You want to make a bridge and build it with your writing in your resume.
E- The machine scan for keywords. Humans look for the relevance to the job being applied to in the resume
M- Don’t assume anything! People don’t think much when they see your resume. 10 sec. 8 sec. Even 5 sec. Sometimes.
One of he other thing to think about when a person is scanning your resume and it is visually appealing, people gravitate towards resumes that look like they won’t take a long time to read… Think of it like memos in your office! If it’s too long, you may not read it then and there.
One of the ways to get your resume rise to the top is to have someone want to read
Q: I am somebody who has been out of the workforce for many years… I have been doing social media,etc. I am going to re-enter the work force in 18 months… I have no idea how today’s resume looks like… Visually, how do I package all of that info?
We’re going to discuss linked in, etc.
One of the things that’s good about having a social networking profile - it’s good to have information of your qualifications available- you don’t want it to be your autobiography
Q: How would an employer see you… Should I stay off of twitter after I have a couple drinks? *laughter*
This is a good question that ties to the TMI session… People ask me if I am going to lose business.. If people don’t want to work with me because of politics? That’s fine with me… I don’t blog about family, sex life, relationship with husband,… I am willing to lose a job/business if it’s something political, etc.
M- My blog is called HR Bartender- Every Friday at 5, I send out emails about happy hour on twitter… With drink recipes, and make a big deal about it… I wonder if it’s too much sometimes. And people always ask around holiday time if I am going
