  28. How to Help Your Students Get HIRED! Pearson Workforce Ed l 10/04/12
  29. 2013 Source of Hire Survey by CareerXRoads The #1 Source of Hire (42% of time) = current employees! Respondents estimate that candidates with a referral are 3-4 times more likely to be hired. Only 1/6 external hires is attributed to a JobBoard (18.1%) Respondents received 74 applications per hire. Respondents also believe that Social Media influences, drives or combines with 7 out of 11 other sources: Referrals, Company Career Site, Job Boards, Direct Source, College, Temp-to-Hire and Career Fairs.

  30. Tip #1: Create Attention-Getting Marketing Documents Strategy is the underpinning for your resume Strategy #1: Identify your target Strategy #2: Communicate your value (clearly)! Strategy #3: Showcase your accomplishments, not just your duties Strategy #4: Incorporate keywords Strategy #5: Consider length and format Pearson Workforce Ed l 10/04/12
  31. Tip #2: Become “Google-Able” “The Brand Called You” “You’re not an ‘employee’ of GM, you’re not a ‘staffer’ at Google or a ‘human resource’ at GE. You don’t belong to any company for life, and your chief affiliation isn’t to a particular ‘function.’” Yes, you have an online brand (even when nothing can be found about you online). Your brand gets to the interview before you do. Online reputations can be professionally devastating. Pearson Workforce Ed l 10/04/12
  32. Tip #2: Become “Google-Able” Get out in front of your digital footprint and manage it… Google yourself Buy YourName.com (blog, personal website, portfolio, speaking calendar, etc.) Create your LI Profile to 100% Create an Amazon account and review books in your target field Submit content to article engines. Create a BusinessWeek Exchange Profile Pearson Workforce Ed l 10/04/12
  33. Tip #3: Create a Roadmap Create a one-page PERSONAL MARKETING PLAN, which includes 4 things: Target Job Title Target Industry Target Geographic Region List of Target Companies If your students don’t have a PMP, their job search has not yet begun! Uncover contacts Uncover decision-makers (1-2 levels above them) Contact them directly Pearson Workforce Ed l 10/04/12
  34. Tip #4: Become an Expert Remember this Mantra: “Insiders” Get Hired! Impress a hiring manager by knowing the ‘ins and outs’ of your field of practice. How? Subscribe to newsletters Attend webinars Conduct informational interviews Stay abreast of current events (Google Alerts) Guest blog in your field Follow key players in your industry on twitter, etc. Pearson Workforce Ed l 10/04/12
  35. Tip #5: Master LinkedIn Regardless of education level, experience, geography or target job function, LI is the best online tool you have in your arsenal to help you land a job. If you are not on LI, you are doing yourself, and your job search, a huge injustice. Profiles without a photo get 40x LESS views Complete your profile to 100% Use an ‘inside connection’ to help you access a company or job in which you are interested. Pearson Workforce Ed l 10/04/12
  36. Tip #6: Be Generous Consider how YOU can add value to every call and in every conversation Make “How can I help you” a regular mantra Refer a friend or colleague to a position for which you are not a fit Launch an unsolicited recommendation campaign Watch the LI news feed for title changes, promotions, and send a congratulatory note Create a “Give and Get” List Pearson Workforce Ed l 10/04/12
