How do YOU do company research

How do YOU do company research You should always do research on the company and industry before you go into an interview. Thats what the experts say. You should always do this type of research to determine potential target companies. The experts say that too. How do people do this? Actually, my way of doing the research is simple, and even overly-time-consuming (read: I wasted time researching on the Internet (just one more click!)). I did not think about a model to ensure I was headed in the right direction, like what Susan Strayer or Mike Murray have in their books. I just used Google to search on various things like product manager my city. I would spend a lot of time sifting through job boards, seeing who was hiring for what position, and then use Google to do research on either that job title or that company. Im not even sure I knew what I was looking for, other than anything I could find. In the last year Ive met some people that do research for a living. Heres what Ive learned: Research with a purpose. Figure out what do you need to know about the company or industry, and then begin to look for answers to those questions. My mud on the wall research sessions had to be inefficient. Get help and advice. I have friends that are good at research. I have mentors that think a couple of levels above my level of thinking (of course, thats what a mentor is!). Find out from them what the questions should be, and what tools they use. Outsource, if possible. I didnt have the money, and the exercise was good for me, but I know some of you dont have the time or technical skills to effectively do a research project. It makes sense to outsource the project to someone that knows the questions and can get you the answers quicker and more complete than you can. Dont have time?? Even if you are unemployed and dedicate your entire time to a job search, there are lots of things you need to do. Networking is one of them. Dont neglect some of the harder things (networking is hard for lots of people) to do the easier things (surfing the internet is easy for most people). Make effective use of your limited time! Get familiar with tools other than Google, tools that were designed to do this type of research. Ive been jealous of the research tools that outplacement companies offer their clients Im talking about the expensive databases they have available to do this research. But Ive found websites that will help you do the same thing one of these days Im going to go more in-depth on these tools but for now you can start to get familiar with any of these: LinkedIn did you know you can do research here? Just go into the advanced search screen and you can search on companies, industries, titles, etc. Recruiters do it all the time to find candidates (thats why you should have a good, fleshed out profile with keywords that they might search for you should also have a network bigger than 5 people, as your search results are limited to your network (I think up to three degrees). Jigsaw Inc. Magazine calls it the worlds biggest rolodex basically you upload your contacts which gives you currency you can then get a certain number of contacts out of it. Salespeople use this all the time as they are trying to network into a company (sound like familiar advice?) ZoomInfo The search engine for discovering people, companies and relationships go search your name, or your companys name and see what comes up. This is a great way to find where you have been mentioned, and the way it shows the results is more geared towards this type of research than a regular search engine is. Google and Yahoo Ok, so these are incredible tools but I doubt research experts actually use just one. Dont neglect the easy tools the results wont come back as nice or precise as the others, but youll likely find different kinds of information. Have guerrilla marketing tendencies? Find a way to get access to the premium services. Ive tried ZoomInfos premium services and it is INCREDIBLE. But you wont be able to afford it, personally (if you could, step on over to the JibberJobber upgrade page and buy lifetime access while you are at it, by two! ;)). Perhaps you know someone that might have access to some advanced tools maybe a law student that has access to LexisNexis, or something like that. Be creative and think about who you know that might have the access you need. Of course, when you do this company research make sure you keep good records. This is where JibberJobber comes in. You can either record your notes as log entries, or you can put them in a Word document, put that in the Document Manager, and then link it to the company.

Are You The New 20-Something Why

Are You The New 20-Something Why Consider the following statistics from The New York Times most recent buzz worthy article, “What is it About 20-Somethings?” One-third of people in their 20s move to a new residence every year. Forty percent move back home with their parents at least once. They go through an average of seven jobs in their 20s, more job changes than in any other stretch. Two-thirds spend at least some time living with a romantic partner without being married. And marriage occurs later than ever. The median age at first marriage in the early 1970s, when the baby boomers were young, was 21 for women and 23 for men; by 2009 it had climbed to 26 for women and 28 for men, five years in a little more than a generation. Do these apply to you? They definitely apply to me.   I have moved at least once a year since graduating college. I have moved back to my parents twice since graduating college. I am on job #3 since graduating college. I have lived with a boyfriend. At age 26, I dont see marriage coming my way anytime soon. Now consider this. Sociologists traditionally define the “transition to adulthood” as marked by five milestones: completing school, leaving home, becoming financially independent, marrying and having a child. In 1960, 77% of women and 65% of men had, by the time they reached 30, passed all five milestones. Among 30-year-olds in 2000, according to data from the United States Census Bureau, fewer than half of the women and one-third of the men had done so. So now the big question is- WHY THE DELAY TO ADULT HOOD? And then, of course, IS THIS A GOOD THING? Some scholars are calling the movement emerging adulthood.   A period of identity exploration, instability, self-focus, feeling in-between and a sense of possibilities.   Sounds a lot like puberty to me. For a variety of reasons, this topic of emerging adulthood has been heavy on my mind lately.   I see fear lurking all around my peers and Im starting to wonder why. Many of us 20-somethings are afraid to commit to a romantic partner, to a job, to owning a home or to making big purchases.   Most of us are employed college graduates too.   Isnt that what we went to college for? Many of us feel like we should be where our parents were when they were our age.   But where were they?   Yes, they may have had a mortgage and 2 kids in the suburbs but my guess is that they still struggled financially.   Id also bet that they werent working in their dream job either. Are todays 20-somethings being too idealistic? Are we waiting for the perfect man, the perfect job, the perfect home?   Does that exist?   Are we trying to avoid the mistakes our parents made in their lives?   Are we afraid of divorce?   Do we avoid trusting society? Or, do we just have way too many damn options? Since we were kids, weve been told by our parents that we can be anyone and do anything. Despite the plethora of excuses that could be made, The New York Times article states that 96% of surveyed 2o-somethings feel they will get to where they want to be in life,   therefore indicating a high sense of possibilities and optimism. But when given too many choices, it is inevitable that we will get stuck.   Here are my thoughts. 4 Possible Root Causes of Emerging Adulthood 1. As a person who was raised on MTV, I think that the media has made success, glamour, riches and freedom look a lot more attainable than it actually is. Get on a reality show, and youve made it in life- no brains required.   Turn on any TV station and you will get a false sense of reality- no hard work required.   From The Real World to The Bachelor to Jersey Shore to My Sweet 16, you see beautiful normal people living it up with no mortgage, baby or boring adult responsibilities in sight.   No one seems to work and you never see babies spitting up,   life emergencies, overdrawn bank accounts or anything else adult like. In this age, those who dont take the traditional path to adulthood are rewarded by society. And the reward comes in Gen Ys most highly regarded currency- recognition. 2. Weve been raised in the information age; a time when the answer to any question is only a click away. We are used to instant gratification.   Therefore, the idea of building something slowly over time (like a family or retirement account) is almost foreign to us. If its not quick and easy, we dont mess with it. 3. Lastly, weve been inundated with information about how we should live our best lives. Take a walk through the magazine aisle and youll see what I mean Exercise!   Eat anti-oxidants! Get rid of your roots!   Fall fashion!   Spring fashion! Get more education!   Read books!   Volunteer!   Network!   Start wearing wrinkle cream in your 20s!   Organize your home!   Travel!   Decorate your home!   Stay up on the latest technology!   Buy a home!   Use my credit card!   Get out of Debt! Check your Facebook!   Write a blog!   Invest your money properly!   Budget! Lose weight!   Get rich!   Move up the corporate ladder!   Cook healthy meals!   Raise your family! My head is about to explode just thinking about all of the things we are supposed to do on a daily basis. How would anyone have time to grow up if they were so caught up in doing what is right every day (i.e. what sells and keeps this countrys economy going). Although our parents read compelling magazines too, my guess is that the # of magazines (and information in general) has more than tripled over the past few decades.   Slowly society has turned up the heat on information overload and we didnt even know what hit us- until suddenly there is a societal shift thats left us all wondering. 4.   Although college ended, the party never ended. I spent some time with my cousins from Italy last week and they brought up a fascinating point: in Italy, university is not all about beer!   Although Im being a bit sarcastic, I can personally say that in America, college never ends for many. The bar scene has become an integral part of the 20-Somethings culture.   We deserve it.   We are young and we are supposed to have fun.   Do we deserve wasting thousands of dollars a year (not to mention our brain cells and livers) on going to bars when we could be paying down debt or saving money?   Well, we need to have some great pictures to post on Facebook and for many, the only humor is drunk humor. In conclusion, it looks like I cant answer my own question. Im not sure if this shift to emerging/delayed adulthood is a good or a bad thing. We could sit here and argue all day about WHY it came about and if it is good or bad for society.   All I know is that, for whatever reason, the statistics are true.   Todays 20-somethings are in no rush to pass the 5 milestones before 30. We will continue to believe we can do anything and be anyone.   Only time will tell how the delay to adulthood will affect our future children, retirement accounts and society as a whole.   What do YOU think?

Be Your Own Brand Manager - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Brand Promotion You’ve written your Personal Brand Statement.   You looking for a job and have sent hundreds of resumes, but no one is calling you for an interview. Brand Promotion Have you thought of using Twitter and your Status Updates as an advertising platform for your brand? No one will know how good you are if you don’t let them know about it. These days, submitting a resume isn’t enough.   You have to also promote yourself for the job you want by advertising yourself well. So why not have an eye-catching ‘advertisement’ that promotes YOU? Obviously, I don’t mean the ‘glaring neon-sign’ type of advertisement. Use Twitter, Status Update, and LinkedIn Answers These platforms are ideal for promoting the fact that you are looking for a job and what value you bring.     Present yourself as an expert in the field. Search LinkedIn Answers and post answers to questions in your field to demonstrate your subject matter expertise. Use Twitter and Status updates to talk about your recent accomplishments â€" blog posts you’ve made or commented on; links to articles you’ve been reading that would be relevant to the industry you’re interested in, etc. These venues are perfect because you have to be short and to the point.   Your goal is to get someone interested in reading your resume and calling you in for an interview.      Think your prospective employer isn’t looking at social media sites?  Think again. They’re out there looking for anything they can find on candidates â€" why not make sure what they find is favorable? What does a brand manager do, anyway? A Brand Manger basically applies marketing techniques to a specific product or brand to increase the brands perceived value to the customer and increase brand equity. It is not uncommon for a brand manager to also be responsible for coordinating activities of specialists in production, sales, advertising, promotion, research and development, marketing research, purchasing, distribution, package development, and finance. Here are some helpful Brand Management tips to writing tweets and status updates  to help you get noticed: Start with a good lead Your first few words should make the readers want to know more.   This means that your first line should immediately catch readers attention Package yourself- Brand yourself based on your excellent skills and qualities. Create your own identity and make it evident to your writing. End with a great impact Make sure that you leave a lasting impact to your readers. Your ending words should encourage some type of response to you. Finally, make sure prospective hiring managers know how to reach you via email.   They may not want to Facebook you or they may not even know how to Twitter.   So make sure people can find you via email.

How to stay in control of your job interview anxiety - Margaret Buj - Interview Coach

How to stay in control of your job interview anxiety Do you find job interviews completely nerve-wrecking? While having some nerves is completely understandable, if your anxiety has a negative impact on how you perform during interviews and is also taking a toll on your health and wellbeing, it is important to learn ways to manage it more effectively. Lauren Povey, a cognitive behavioural therapist working at Priory Hospital Chelmsford, has outlined techniques that you can use before and during job interviews to help calm your nerves. These cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques can help you become more aware of your thoughts that cause you to become nervous, and give you the opportunity to develop strategies so that these thoughts don’t become so destructive. Reframe your negative thoughts Ruminating over thoughts like “I’m not going to get this job” or “I bet I’m going to mess up” can result in you convincing yourself that something will go wrong,  which in turn can cause you to feel apprehensive about the upcoming interview. Being able to identify and reframe such negative thoughts can help you to move past them quickly before they have a chance to take hold and dent your confidence. To master the reframing technique, spend time answering the following questions every evening: What caused you to become anxious today? Was it when you were on the phone to a recruiter? Was it when you thought about the upcoming interview, or when you re-read over the job description? What did you think at that moment? Did you think negatively about your performance in the upcoming interview? Did you imagine the worst possible scenario, or that your interviewers wouldn’t like you? What will happen if you continue to think this way? How will your negative thoughts and nervousness impact your future career? Could it also affect your health, wellbeing and relationships? How could you challenge the initial negative thought you had? Remind yourself that you have been invited to the interview, so the interviewers clearly think that you have the right skills and experience, and want to talk to you about them What would be a healthier way of thinking about the upcoming interview? Could you think “this is a good opportunity for me to talk about my skills and experience” or “I’m going to be well-prepared so that I know how to answer possible questions well”? When practised every night, reframing negative thoughts will start to come naturally to you. You will have the ability to pause and move past a negative thought the moment one pops into your mind, stopping it from snowballing into a damaging level of nervousness. Visualise your success instead of your failure Before an interview, do you tend to imagine all the things that could possibly go wrong? This type of negative visualisation can cause nerves to skyrocket as you convince yourself that your interview will go badly. Rather than focusing on the worst possible scenario, spend time visualising the interview going well. Give yourself time and space when practising this technique. Find a quiet, calm and relaxing place and make yourself comfortable. Calm yourself by closing your eyes and taking in a few slow deep breaths. Visualise the upcoming meeting, and make it feel like you are actually there. What are you going to be wearing? What do your interviewers look like? What noises are you likely to hear? If you have been worrying about a particular interview question, imagine yourself answering it perfectly. If you are concerned about appearing nervous, picture yourself poised and confident. During each visualisation, you can either focus on a particular moment that has been bothering you or run through the interview from start to finish. Remain in your calm space for 5 to 10 minutes after the visualisation. Try to do this regularly as it can be a good confidence-booster and also gives you a chance to rehearse for your interviews. Quieten your inner critic If your inner critic is loud before and during interviews, and says such things as: “you’re going to stutter over your words” or “your interviewers are going to have a good laugh after you leave”, it is important to work on silencing it. Prepare a series of motivating phrases that you can use during moments when your inner critic is likely to appear. Some mantras to think about learning include: “I’m well-prepared and ready to show off my credentials” or “this may be tough, but I am ready for it”. Also, don’t let your inner critic take over during an interview. Have simple phrases like: “keep smiling” or “sit up straight” to hand, as this positive self-talk can help to keep you focused and confident.  And don’t become overly critical afterwards, as this is unhelpful. Instead, repeat phrases such as: “I’m glad I had the experience” or “I’m proud I went” to keep you uplifted. When to get help for your anxiety If your anxiety has been worsening or has been having more of an impact on your day-to-day life, it is important to speak to your doctor. During your appointment, talk about your symptoms and the impact that they have been having on your life, so that they can help you get access to any support and treatment that you need.
