People Showcase

#PersonalBranding Tip: Stand out from the crowd and let future employers know what you offer by building and sharing a Video Profile that showcases Brand YOU. #peopleshowcase #jobsearch

CareerTip: An accountability partner can help you achieve your 2025 #careergoals. Partner with someone who gets it & who supports your efforts -- doing so will help you stay focused & positive. And supporting someone else as they try to do the same will lift you up as well.

CareerTip: Asking for a #promotion typically initiates a negotiation process, which means you need a good understanding of the main concerns & motivations of decision makers to increase your chance of success. What's likely to make them say no/what's likely make them say yes?

#VideoProfile Tip: Include these 5 elements in your #peopleshowcase intro video: 1. Your name (first & last) 2. Your target role (& industry if needed) 3. Your specialties (2 or 3 things you do best) 4. Your "for example" (real-world impact) 5. Your invitation to connect (& how)

#GigEconomy: A tip for you... Just like in a traditional job search, it's best not to solely rely on what's posted online for gigs. Cultivate and lean on your network for referral possibilities. Sometimes the friend of a friend is the best source for your next great thing.

#PersonalBranding: Know what problems you solve well -- the ones that you also really enjoy solving. When you're doing that, you're making a difference and getting results. And guess what? That's your personal brand. #jobsearch #peopleshowcase

#JobSearch Tip: Learn what the employer needs (through the job posting and/or by asking questions during the interview). Then speak to those needs during the #jobinterview with a sincere desire to help & the confidence that you can do it. #peopleshowcase

#JobInterview Tip: If you want the job, be sure to express that you want it. Say something like, "After learning more, I'm even more excited about this position and would love to move to the next step in the hiring process." #jobsearch #peopleshowcase

As we move further into the future, it's becoming evident that merely sending a company a written resume isn't enough anymore. Most resumes are AI generated (like this image) and don't showcase the "real" person; the real you. If you want to standout, move the process along faster and get hired for who you really are, create a video profile and tell them why you're their next great hire!! It's easy to do, currently free to do and what do you have to lose?

#Networking Tip: When your friends & family ask you how your #jobsearch is going, say, “I’ve come up with a few target companies – X, Y and Z – do you know anything about them, or do you know anyone who knows anyone who works there?” #peopleshowcase
