Im not bragging but

Im not bragging but… has anyone spent an entire day to make a video just for you? Read on, cuz it happened for me last week! Remember the post I did last week on other personal branding blogs? The last link was a funny thing referencing advice on how to get personal branding. it was something like this: put cheese on your face sit on a subway train (or whatever it probably wont work if you commute alone in your car ;)) and then something like wait for the branding to begin I thought it was funny because you will brand yourself as the guy that always wears cheese on his face, right? Isnt this somewhat similar to the guy that always wears a nametag, everywhere he goes?? So the owners of that blog who manage an art studio and do creative stuff (I have not one creative bone in my body) commented and said you wait until tomorrow were cooking up a better personal branding scheme. And so they did this one had my in stitches because when I was a teenager a friend borrowed the yellow Post-It notes (from his employer) and would cover his friends cars with them check out what they came up with (and I promise Ill wrap this up into a meaningful message at the end!): (click here to see the video) So this is cleaner than the cheese thing, and you can be known as the Post-It Note guy. It is more interactive because when you sit down and see someone looking at you (which they will) you approach them to ask them for a pen (as opposed to just sitting there waiting for it to sink in). . thats not how Im wrapping it up, dont worry ?? I thought this was clever because you need to think about what you can do that is different to create, enhance or reinforce your personal brand. It may be as out-of-the-box as the post-it-note thing. Here are some examples that Ive seen in the last year that I can recall off the top of my head they were catchy enough to be memorable: At a conference everyone in the booth wore the same clothes (I think black everything) and YELLOW old-fashioned Converse shoes. They really really stood out amongst all the suits, and everyone soon came to know who they were. At a seminar I went to a few weeks ago a guy handed me his card. I have the coolest card in Salt Lake but this guy gave me something very memorable. On his card was his basic contact information on the right, and on the left was nothing except the words MY CARD which was centered. It got a chuckle out of me because it was unique. My SOB award giver has a great signature: first line: Smiles, second line: Liz, third line: a 65th crayon, if there ever was one makes you think color? creativity? sense of humor? All of the above. Just some examples. I dont expect you to be overly-silly. The branding only works if it really reflects who you are, and you have a long-term committment to it. But once you figure out little ways that you will stand out it will be very effective in a business setting, in an interview setting, etc. One word to the wise, however, be especially careful how you come across in the interview you dont want a branding experiment to brand you as a nut-case!

The Value of a Personal Recommendation

The Value of a Personal Recommendation I admit it; much as I love social media, especially LinkedIn, I have trouble asking for recommendations. Recruiters tell me that they look closely at the number and quality of recommendations on a person’s profile. They consider them to be reliable third party endorsements of your skills. I’m not so sure of that; to me, they seem to be in the same class as letters of recommendation or references. Has anyone ever offered as a reference someone who didn’t love and adore them? One of the reasons I find it hard to ask for recommendations is that I sometimes get asked for one by people I don’t know well. I take my reputation very seriously, and giving a personal endorsement to someone is for me, a very big deal. After all, your reputation hangs on this person’s future performance. If the person turns out not to be competent, your judgment is questioned. If the person does something bad, your character is in question. That’s why I only recommend people I know well, and who I consider very likely to succeed. Based on my experience, here are some signals that you can ask for a recommendation or endorsement without making the person you’re asking uncomfortable. The person has seen you perform over time. Unless you’ve delivered a life changing, show stopping performance, asking someone to endorse you after one interaction is probably too soon. Give them a chance to be able to add terms like “always,” “consistently,” and “never less than excellent” to their recommendation. Consistency over time is one of the ways people measure quality, and they feel comfortable talking about it. The person has reached out to you to give feedback. If someone has sent you a personal note or an email, they really value what you’ve done. People are busy, and almost no one will take the time to give you feedback. If they do, you’ve made an impression. Plus, they have already told you what they think; it’s a short step to ask if you can use their words for another audience or purpose. Before you ask for a recommendation, try asking for advice. A friend recently asked me for help with her daughter’s internship this summer. The key factors were in place; I knew the girl, her work and study habits, and had seen her in action on the job. I knew she’d been successful in a similar position last summer. And the mom asked me for advice on how to apply, rather than a direct connection. As it turns out, I had a direct connection and felt comfortable recommending the daughter. If you do ask for a recommendation, consider that source when you make a decision about the job or the gig. Do your best work; you’re not the only one whose reputation rests on your performance.

Former Playboy Editor Spills His Journalism Secrets - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Former Playboy Editor Spills His Journalism Secrets - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I spoke with Jamie Malanowski, who is a former managing editor for Playboy. Jamie gives you the inside scoop, from behind the scenes, on how to build a strong personal brand in journalism. We go over how he got his job, how the Playboy brand has impacted his personal brand, some tips and how you can translate your writing gig into a book deal. Jamie, how does one get a really cool job like being the managing editor of Playboy? In a specific way, I knew the right guy at the right time. Prior to being hired, I had contributed to Playboy for several years. In 2004, just at a time when I was looking for work, my friend Chris Napolitano, who had been the editor of many of those pieces, became the Editorial Director of Playboy, and had a an opening for a senior editor. Based on the work I had done for Playboy, and for many other magazines before that, he offered me the job. A few months later, our very capable Managing Editor left, and I succeeded her. But in a more general way? One gets the job by showing all the skills one must possess as a writer, an editor and a manager. Everyone knows the Playboy brand (gorgeous nude woman). How did this brand impact your ability to write for other media sources, such as the NY Times and Vanity Fair? Well, I did not pursue assignments from those particular publications while I was working for Playboy, nor from many other publications, either. Believe it or not, the job absorbed a lot of my time, and with the creative energy I had left over, I wrote a novel, The Coup, which was published in 2007. I dont think my association with Playboy has hurt me professionally, although time will tell; I left the magazine in October, and well see what the consequences are. One of the things that was fascinating about working for Playboy is that it is such a large institution, one with a long history and a big reputation. Everyone that one meets has some opinion about Playboy, and those opinions can very different, depending on how old they are and when they encountered the magazine. Many older people, remembering the magazines role in the sexual revolution, still think of it as hip; many younger people think of the magazine as simply a party animals publication. And often those impressions of the magazine are not based in reality. However, whatever people think of the magazine initially helps frame their opinion of yousince you work for this kind of magazine, you must be this kind of person. All I ever tried to do was be myself, and tried to represent the side of Playboy I was most comfortable aboutthe side that was intelligent, curious and open-minded. What 3 tips would you give to someone first starting out in writing/journalism? When I started out, I sought advice from two very fine journalists, John Leo (then of Time) and Nick Pileggi (then of New York magazine), and each of them, unknown to the other, gave me identical advice: Write as much as you can, and go to as many parties as possible. Both tips turned out to be amazingly useful. To those Ill add this: be aggressive. No editor in whole wide world has ever woken up and thought, Let me see what shy, hidden talent I can uncover today. Its a put-yourself-forward business, one in which people value enterprise, energy and persistence in a young person above something vague and evanescent as talent. How did you get your book deals? Was it easier to get book deals after you had written your first one? What did writing books do for your career? No coherent strategy informed all four experiences. The most significant experience was the most recent, namely the publication of The Coup in 2007. It almost goes without saying that the key to selling that novel was first writing it. I didnt have to pitch an idea to an agent or an editorthey could read the thing! And as far as I know, I would have to do that again in order to publish another novel. Im not John Grisham or Stephen King; no one will buy a book from me sight unseen. Although The Coup did not sell well (dont get me started on modern bookselling practices), it was reviewed very positively, and the overall experience has had a very positive impact on my career. In my business, its still something of an achievement to publish a book. As part of the media, how do you deal with PR people and their pitches? Who do you tend to listen to and who do you ignore? Theres no secret to thisI begin by knowing what Im interested in and what my readers might be interested in. After that, it would take a pretty terrible publicist to turn me off of a person or a product I care about, and by the same token, it would take a remarkably capable something to get me to spare a minute for something thats useless to me. That said, I do have some congenial relationships with some publicists with whom I have worked successfully in the past, and I give them time and attention even when what theyre pitching is only remotely interesting. Tomorrow, after all, is another day. Jamie Malanowski is a writer and former Playboy managing editor. A member of the original staff of Spy, where he worked seven years, Jamie has also been an editor at Time, Esquire and most recently Playboy. Jamie has written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Washington Monthly, and many other publications. He is also the author of the novels Mr. Stupid Goes to Washington (Birch Lane, 1992) and The Coup (Doubleday, 2007); co-author with Kurt Andersen and Lisa Birnbach of the play and book Loose Lips; co-author, with Martyn Burke, of the HBO movie Pentagon Wars; and co-author, with Susan Morrison, of the humor book Spy High.

7 Steps to Finding Balance Between Work and Your Love Life

7 Steps to Finding Balance Between Work and Your Love Life We’ve all seen those movies where the girl loses the guy (or vice versa) because she’s so focused on her career that she can’t give her relationship the attention it needs. That always creates a striking moral dilemma. You’re happy that the character is succeeding in her professional life, but it’s sad that she doesn’t have time for things outside of her career. If you’re an ambitious career woman, you can probably relate to these romantic stories. You don’t want to give up your career, but you also don’t want to be lonely. Or perhaps you’re ready to get engaged, but you’re not sure how to fit a wedding into your mounting to-do list. How do you find an effective life balance? Get Your Man on the Same Page Simple communication between two people is a fundamental step in a happy, healthy relationship. When you’re super involved in your career, communication often goes out the window. But if you want your relationship to work, you have to talk to each other. Share your concerns about balancing your time with your significant other. Discuss making things work as a couple, and be aware of your end goal. If your relationship isn’t going anywhere, maybe it’s not worth stressing so much over the balance. Make Time for Each Otherâ€"And Really Be There No matter how busy you are at work, you’ll always have some personal time to share with those you love. Look for opportunities to spend time together, and don’t pass it up. You might not be able to stop the long hours at work, but you can still do a late-night pizza run with your love. Even if you have to take a vacation day to get some quality time in with your partner, it’s definitely worth it in the long run. When you do take time for one another, be there completely. Put phones and computers away, and be present in the moment. An hour of totally focusing on your partner can keep a relationship strong for an entire week. Evaluate Your Priorities Prioritizing means recognizing where you need to focus most of your attention and where you can let things go a little. If things are stable with your job, it might be worthwhile to slow down and spend some time with your significant other. If you’re worried about maintaining a good reputation at work, and your love life is in a good place, pour a little extra into your job. The key is clear communication. Make it clear to your partner that they’re a very important part of your life. Do the same for your co-workers and your boss. Then, when you need to work long hours to finish a project for your boss or leave work a little early to help your partner, neither party will take it personally. Show Unconditional Support Don’t forget that your partner is probably working hard on his career as well. He’ll also have things that are personally important, and he’ll want your support. While you’re focused on balancing your career and personal life, give adequate attention to your partner’s priorities. If you show unconditional support, you’re more likely to get it in return. Stay Connected Throughout the Day A strong relationship will be lurking in the back of your mind throughout the day. It’s not just relegated to drinks or dinner after work. Find opportunities to connect while you’re apart. This can be as simple as a quick text during your morning coffee run, a sweet phone call on a slow afternoon, or a weekly lunch date. These little moments of connection will deepen your relationship and help you establish more balance. Balance Your Sacrifices No relationship works without sacrifice. Your job, in tandem with your significant other, is to figure out where those sacrifices should be made. Recognize that this might mean spending fewer hours in the office or minimizing your travel arrangements. Also, this is not something that needs to happen immediately. It will take time to recognize your wants and needs. Always be aware of the way your partner has made sacrifices and be willing to work together. Learn to Apologize and Forgive Every couple will experience challenges and make mistakes. Remember that your relationship can ground you amidst your stressful career goals, as long as you make a sincere effort to maintain a good footing. Holding grudges and staying angry will only make things more stressful for you. A successful relationship requires patience, humility, and forgiveness. With this as the foundation, finding balance alongside your career is not just possible, but satisfying.

New Years 2017 - A Time for Career Reflection - Career Pivot

New Years 2017 - A Time for Career Reflection - Career Pivot A Time for Career Reflection The new year is a great time for career reflection. I have previously written you should performcareer reflection twice a year, around July 4th and New Years. Last month, I asked you to create 5 bold goals for 2017. The areas for these bold goals were: Finances Relationships Career Lifestyle Health Create a calendar entry for early July and document each of these goals. You will want to revisit each of these goals and perform one of the 3 R’s: Recommit Revise Remove Reflection on 2016 for Career Pivot 2016 marked the third consecutive year with double-digit growth in revenue for Career Pivot. Website traffic grew 50% in 2016 and that allowed me to put a few ads on the website. The ads are now generating about $100/month of revenue. I had a lot of clients go back to work. Even some long-term, unemployed returned to work. Office hours project failed miserably, but it pushed me to create the Repurpose Your Career podcast. I announced in early 20164 community building initiatives: Surveys â€" These have been very successful. Check out the survey results here. Office Hours â€" Well, that did not work out. BoomerJobTips LinkedIn Group â€" LinkedIn groups, in general, have become ghost towns. This is still a work in progress. Video â€" My usage of Blab died with Blab. I decided not to pursue other live video platforms like Periscope or FaceBook live. What did come out of these initiatives was lots of good learning and feedback. The Career Pivot e-mail list is growing rapidly, at almost 200 new members per month, and now tops over 4,000 members. WhatAbout You? I want you to reflect back on 2016. Listen to the most recent episode What goals did you set for yourself in any of the 5 areas I mentioned above? Did you attain those goals? Do you need to apply the 3 R’s: recommit, revise or remove to these goals? What goals do you have for 2017? Are you going to make them public by telling someone like your spouse, friend, or adult child? When we make our goals public, we often are more likely to attain those goals. Create a calendar entry for early July and documentyour goals for the 1st half of 2017. This is a good way for you to calibrate yourself every 6 months. What’s Next for Career Pivot? Look for a reader’s survey in the coming weeks. I have a number of initiatives that I will be working on in 2017, which includes publishing the next edition of Repurpose Your Career. 2017 brings a lot of uncertainty. I do not know about you, but uncertainty brings with it a lot of anxiety for me. I wrote previously that when there is a lot of uncertainty I focus on what I can control. Let’s take 2017 by the horns and make it the best year ever. Marc Miller Like what you just read? Share it with your friends using the buttons above. Like What You Read? Get Career Pivot Insights!

You 2.0 The Brave New World of Social Media and Online Job Searches - Pathfinder Careers

You 2.0 The Brave New World of Social Media and Online Job Searches - Pathfinder Careers You 2.0: The Brave New World of Social Media and Online Job Searches There are a million different websites out there providing advice on social media and job search … many of which have some great nuggets… but which one is right for you? The answer is: Any or all of them. Or maybe none! You’ll definitely need to do your research on finding out where you need to be and how to build your online content and messaging towards a target audience. But one thing is clear… pressing ‘send’ isn’t going to magically make job offers or interviews appear. You absolutely have to work every bit as hard on the social media end during the online pursuit of jobs as you would with networking in real life at a business meeting. This month, the Career Collective pulls together a great mind meld of career industry experts to discuss strategies of how to use social media in a job search. (Please click the links  at the bottom of this post to  access other career experts articles!) It’s all about building relationships and reinforcing your personal brand.   Having a prominent online brand and presence can not only define you, but also help you be’ found’ by employers. Keeping these two ideas in the forefront of your strategy, social media can make the online job search and real-life networking meetings much easier. Here are a few tips to help you make sense of the befuddling array of advice out there to make social media work for you during a job search: How to use it: If done correctly, think of social media is your 24/7/365 marketing guardian.   It can be working when you aren’t.   But the key is to put the effort into planning into this by understanding the technology first. The key is to understand the ‘big players’ in social media, what they do, and what role each one of them represents in your job search. Facebook:   Think of this social media outlet as a way to connect on a personal level to friends and contacts â€" they get to know you and vice versa.   Another advantage of Facebook is that you can keep your network updated on your job search progress (I.e.: Have an interview at ABC company â€" does anyone have a contact over there?) I call Facebook an ‘ongoing conversation’ with your first-tier contacts. Twitter: Companies can tweet about specific jobs, provide updates on the company’s direction, mention change in personnel, and can reveal specific names of people who work at your target company to follow.   You can use this information to introduce yourself, network with key contacts, and gather information to help round out your knowledge of a specific employer. LinkedIn:   There’s a reason that LinkedIn recently did an IPO on their stock: it has quickly become the ‘go-to’ resource for both job seekers, people who are employed, and also employers.   It has become THE gathering ground of the business world in order to see and be seen… Another feature of LinkedIn is that it is quickly becoming the next generation of a résumé or CV that makes you, again, accessible 24/7. Blogs: Employers are increasingly hiring subject matter experts and what better way to demonstrate your subject matter expertise in a particular industry area than to write about it?   Producing a blog does require a commitment and should be a regular activity,   If you don’t use it, how do you expect others to? Getting started and key do’s and don’ts: Let’s tackle this section by addressing each platform so you can understand what are the ‘must-do’s’ for each social media tool. Facebook: While Facebook gives you the opportunity to reflect your personality, don’t forget that this is can also be a PROFESSIONAL forum… exercise caution about posting things that are polarizing or would be embarrassing to you should a prospective employer see it.   And then there are always the human resource software programs that can bypass privacy settings, so don’t be fooled into thinking that your tirades or photos from last weekend’s party at the beach are protected from prospective employers.   When in doubt, don’t post!!   Key things to include: Photo, regular updates, and information that you think your network might be interested in. Twitter: Key things to include: photo or avatar, short bio, and a link to your LinkedIn profile, an online résumé or CV, or a professional Facebook page.   Including a customized, professional background can add visual interest to your Twitter homepage.   But it doesn’t stop there… you then need to start tweeting. Find experts in your industry, follow them, and if they have a great nugget of information you would like to share, then re-tweet it.   Then develop your own content… and find the appropriate hashtags (#) to categorize your content… you’ll be surprised at how many people will re-tweet your info.   But beware of spambots that follow you or mention you in their Tweets in an attempt to get you to click on their links (which could be malware too)… If they follow me, then I block them. If they mention me in a spam tweet, I block and report them.   Having a bazillion followers that are spammers does nothing to enhance your professional reputation on line… instead, cultivate a quality list of followers in your industry and do the same for those leaders that you respect. LinkedIn:   One of my favorite ways of stating the importance of having a fully complete profile on LinkedIn is this:   “Having an incomplete LinkedIn profile is like showing up to an interview wearing sweatpants.”   It’s true. Take the time to fill out the entire profile and add a little more personality on including some of your top takeaways from jobs. Make sure to include a photo, join relevant industry groups, and ask for recommendations from respected people in your network, but don’t ‘trade’ testimonials in the ‘I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine’ tradition… employers can smell a rat like that a mile away… so choose the people that you ask for recommendations carefully, and find different things that they can highlight so everyone has a different angle to talk about.   Another thing to boost your subject matter expertise is to answer questions in your specific field under the QA option â€" that can help you get noticed. Blog:   Again, if you start one, keep adding to it.   And keep it topical and on theme.   If you spend one day musing about political things then the next article, you jump right into an industry-specific post, you’ll be perceived as being all over the map.   Stay on topic, and don’t be afraid to post other relevant posts from individuals in your industry- but the key here is to not only ask for their permission but also provide attribution. NEVER incorporate content that is not yours and try to infer that it is.   That makes a lot of people cranky and also has legal repercussions.   ALWAYS provide proper attribution to the rightful author. Who knows? They might cross post one of your blog entries!     When creating a blog, map out your posting schedule, include a bio and photo, and any other relevant links. Another courtesy thing to do is to create a ‘blog roll’ of additional related blogs of interest to help give the reader an idea of who you think are industry thought lead ers.   It actually adds gravitas to your credentials!
