Jeremy Hanks Pays To Get His Garbage Can Cleaned

Jeremy Hanks Pays To Get His Garbage Can Cleaned I was checking out some local Utah business blogs and read one of my favorite entrepreneurs, Jeremy Hanks.   Ive met Jeremy on a number of occasions and love watching the progress of his super-cool company.   He has achieved a lot and I look up to him as an example. He recently wrote a blog post called Unique Service + Hard Work = Opportunity.   This is a terrific story, and one that we can learn from.   It starts: A couple days ago, I got a knock on my door, and a guy that was wearing blue rubber gloves was there when I opened it. He said something like: “I lost my job a while back, and got sick of not working, so I’m out providing a service today. I’ll clean out your garbage cans for $10 each, or two for $15. I use a pressure washer and industrial strength bleach and I literally climb inside them and scrub them by hand.” I hired him on the spot, for two reasons: 1. my garbage cans were nasty; 2. I’d have hired him anyway, because here’s a guy down on his luck making his own. read the entire story here The story is awesome remember the Thom Singer post where I talk about pride and humility?   I doubt this guy is too proud dont you think? In the next paragraph it says: He says a lot of days, he makes $300-$400 Can you believe this?   I absolutely love this. $300 $400 that is a lot of money.   Heres the math: $300 * 5 days = $1,500/week $1,500 * 4.33 weeks in a month (avg) = $6,495/month $6,495 * 12 months = $77,940/year That is a LOT of money. In my neighborhood we have a ton of people who want to mow our lawn, or do our carpets.   But never have I had anyone come up to wash my garbage cans for $10.   I would pay it on the spot. Why am I sharing this with you?   Some of you are beyond getting anywhere with your job search.   This is an idea that can help you pay your bills even save your house from foreclosure. Want a bonus idea?   Check the blog on Monday and Ill share why this business idea is the bomb.

When the Medium is the Message

When the Medium is the Message Most of the time, the skills it takes to do the job are very different from the skills it takes to get the job. That’s why the job search is harrowing for so many professionals. “I’m an accountant, for goodness sake â€" and now I’m expected to sell myself.” For many candidates, the process feels foreign. But in almost every job search, there is one component that should be right in your wheelhouse; the skill you demonstrate there will not only make your search more successful, but demonstrate your skill to a future employer. The medium becomes the message. Embed from Getty Imageswindow.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'bn9GeUymQzxhyGKSeX438w',sig:'xvwE3dCYivoujwWOCLnBcdCjEtlkq54tLlun6eOok-o=',w:'507px',h:'337px',items:'172601079',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })}); Sales consultant and blogger Dave Brock writes that the most important question you must ask a candidate for a sales job is “Tell me how you prepared for this interview.” An interview is, of course, a sales call, and if a candidate did not prepare, chances are he is not serious. A serious candidate will talk about his research on the company, industry and trends, how he learned about the person he’d be meeting, and how he prepared good questions to ask. I once had a sales professional looking for work ask me about how to get meetings with recruiters. “I just can’t seem to get any traction with my resume,” he said. “I have only had two quality interviews in the last six months. What advice do you have?” My advice: think about another line of work. A salesman who can’t get a meeting with a potential buyer may not be at the top of his game. On the other hand, he may just be making a common mistake: thinking that selling himself is a very different process than selling a product. Mark Vickers is a certified coach and speaker who helps individuals and companies improve communication. He believes that the key to success in sales â€" or any profession is asking great questions. I agree, because being able to craft thoughtful and smart questions demonstartes three universal qualities that every employer wants: curiosity, interest in the work, and critical thinking. Vickers says that the best questions are “you” focused, meaning that you are asking about the other person’s goals, wants and needs. Many interview candidates err by asking questions with a “me” focus, including questions about career advancement, benefits and working conditions. They may be important factors in your decision, but your first objective is to sell the company on you as a candidate. That means focusing on what the company needs. Your questions should reflect the research you’ve done on the company and the industry and genuine interest in what the job entails and the team needs most to succeed. Armed with that information, you’re more likely to win their trust â€" and perhaps an offer. In Vickers’ book, Speaking is Selling, he lists the ways you can test whether you’ve shown enough value to your customer (or potential employer) to merit their trust: Have I shown I understand them and where they are? Have I made myself relevant and relatable? Have I given them something early that resolves [their] issue, need or desire? Have I shown that I will bring long term value to them? Great questions give you the ability to meet the employer where he is, and you’ll be more likely to close the sale.

7 Cheeky Recruiter Moves Nobody Talks About

7 Cheeky Recruiter Moves Nobody Talks About Im going to go right ahead and assume that all agency recruiters can relate to these behaviours, regardless of industry or specialism. If thats a mass generalisation and Im wrong, just speak now. *TUMBLEWEED* Okay great. Thats what I thought. In  no particular order,  here  they are; the common cheeky recruiter moves nobody talks about (but everybody makes): 1. The Humble Hero Youve just made a massive placement. Now its time to do The Humble Hero. Whats that, you ask? Its that special walk you do up to  the deals board in front of all your colleagues. The one where you write your big, fat fee against your name  while everyone watches, acting all coy and embarrassed while secretly loving every minute of it. You hang your head low and try to hide the big grin spreading across  your face. Play it cool, just act like you hate being the centre of attention  and you could take  or leave this placement.  Youre all no big deal on the outside, while on the inside youre all, BIG DEAL, I REPEAT BIG DEAL, HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN HOW BIG THIS DEAL IS? 2. The Meeting Milker This is the move where you milk  your meetings (whod have guessed)  and really stretch the definition  of work-related entertainment.  Its the move where your client cancels the meeting last minute, but seeing as youre already in the pub, you and your colleague enjoy a cheeky beverage, because youre already there. This move also includes  when your client leaves after one round of drinks, but you stay for a bit longer and have one more for your troubles Catching up with candidates that just happen to be your best mates as well, and expensing lunch,  is another pearler. 3. The Shameful  Schadenfreude Schadenfreude noun. pleasure derived by someone from another persons misfortune Youve had a really bad run lately. Your clients have withdrawn offers, put a pause to all hiring  indefinitely and your candidates are burning you like fair  skin in the summertime. Your management meeting comes up and everyone starts sharing their forecast and current work in progress, and youre just sitting there  wishing everyone  else is  having just as woeful luck as you are,  because misery loves company. In these moments, you are committing The Shameful Schadenfreude. Youre usually a really nice person; a great team player  with great sportsmanship, just not today. 4. The Damsel in Denial Management is always reiterating  how important it is to stay on top of your administration. Log this, log that. Now, if youre honest, you  know (deep down) that you dont always update your records and fill in the right information on the CRM. When someone points out that something is missing, or that your supposed input is nowhere to be found on the internal shared system, you act totally dumb instead of admitting your sins. This move is called the Damsel in Denial, as your defensive reaction is very reminiscent of a damsel in distress. Well Sarah, it should be on there, so I dont know whats happened maybe the system crashed when I went to hit  save. 5. The Judging Jeffrey This  Judging Jeffrey involves  picking apart what other people are doing and silently (also harshly) judging them for it, for no good reason. You do this while sitting on your high horse.  It occurs when you are on a conference call with a bunch of other agency recruiters, taking a role brief from one of your clients. One of your competitors asks a question and you just sit there, leaning back in your chair, shaking your head and thinking, what a stupid question, thats already been covered 100 times. 6. The Fair-Weathered Fan Your agency operates on a shared candidate model. Youre a huge supporter off this model when someone else from your company finds an A+ applicant thats perfect for one of your live roles. BUT you suddenly loathe this model  when someone else pinches your best candidate, and offers them  one of their roles. You try to convince yourself you have a real reason you shouldnt have to share this candidate, but you know youve got absolutely nothing.  This move is extremely hypocritical, and known as The Fair-Weathered Fan. 7. The Silent Sandbagger Youve worked out  the best times for your various candidate placements to be approved for commission purposes. The Silent Sandbagger move involves remaining tight-lipped over a deal so as to push it over into the next calendar month.  It involves assessing fee amounts against thresholds and your tiered commission structure, then manipulating  your  forecast and underselling current  prospects. Cheeky, but effective. Have I missed any?  Tweet me and tell me: @feebspinks!

And The Most Popular Valentines Gift Is . . .

And The Most Popular Valentines Gift Is . . . Over the years, youve (hopefully) given or received all of the most common Valentines Day gifts, even making your gift more personalised by printing on a cup, or t shirt printing, a funny word or logo from a memory.     But which gift is the most commonly given? If youre having trouble deciding, heres the most popular Valentines gift ideas. 5. Jewelry While receiving a beautiful ring can melt your little Valentines Day heart, it also can be expensive.   The $4 Billion thats spent on jewelry in February breaks down to $147 per person, on average.   Thats the highest amount on the top five, and probably why jewelry only made number five on the list. 4. Flowers Who doesnt love flowers?   Even the simplest bouquet carries a giant message of caring and love. And with the internet, its easy.   In Australia?   FFE Online Flowers will take care of you.   America?   Great Britain? No matter where you are, some flowers can be on their way with just a few clicks of the mouse.   And almost all florists are part of networks that can deliver anywhere in the world. 3. Dinner Out Theres nothing quite like a romantic candlelight dinner.   Add in a glass of wine, a gentle touch, and the stage is set for a very romantic evening.   If this is your choice, be sure to give your date a little heads up as to whether its going to be a jeans-appropriate night or not.   And dont forget to turn off the phones, so its just you and them enjoying the moment. 4. Greeting Cards Coming in at number two is the Valentines greeting card.   For those of you who are creatively challenged, its a relief to find that someone, somewhere, managed to put into words exactly how you feel.   For the thoughtful romantic whos on a tight budget, a greeting card is perfect. 5. Candy Candy, or more specifically chocolate, remains the most popular Valentines Day gift.   If you add a little adventure, like chocolate covered strawberries,   you just cant go wrong.   Hint:   Go for quality, not quantity.   A small but superbly delicious gourmet sampler is going to be more memorable than a giant heart-shaped box full of junky sweets. Pick your sweetheart, pick your fave gift, and enjoy! Or, are you feeling struck by all  of cupids arrows?   If thats the case, then why not splurge on all five!

A basic jewelry design or jewelry making course that covers all topics of metallurgy/ metalwork and its types, gemology, color theory, beadwork, jewel standards, and design is ideal.Getting a basic course in designing is important to gain apprenticeship and learn through design and production.

How To Get Past The Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

How To Get Past The Applicant Tracking System (ATS) Do you really understand how ATS work? Heres what you need to know about Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) so that your resume actually gets seen by recruiters. There is a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about how ATS work. Almost every company (large and small) uses this technology to help them store, process and evaluate candidates. My hope is that by reading these comments, you will be better able to submit a keyword, ATS-friendly resume and your phone will start ringing. This is the question I asked on LinkedIn and tagged some of my career colleagues to tap into their experiences and training on ATS. In order to be successful landing interviews, job seekers need to understand how ATS work. What is your best tip for helping applicants get past the robots reading their resume? 44,000 views later, this post has real gold in it. But reading comments (especially when there are over 140 of them) gets difficult. And its nearly impossible to find this article after a couple of weeks. But here is the link. How To Get Past The ATS Here are the top 16 tips for getting past the ATS. 1. First, avoid the ATS Many many career experts chimed in with the same advice- avoid the ATS! Data shows that you only have a 2% chance on landing an interview when you apply online. On the other hand, referrals make up 40% of all hires (the largest channel by far). I think 99% of job seekers would say that they don’t feel their resume accurately conveys their personality or their entire value. Getting face to face with hiring managers allows you to do that and gives you the potential to land a referral (and avoid the online app completely). Thank you  Austin Belcak And thank you  Donna Svei, Executive Resume Writer     You are 10 times more likely to win the job by avoiding the ATS: Use This 10X Job Search Strategy https://buff.ly/2DFVuSi 2. The Bottom Line Keyword-match the job posting! Absolutely unequivocally the biggest factor.  If your resume is a bunch of carefully-curated words illustrating your unique value proposition for the role in question, does it not make sense that prospective employers will then take those words and attempt to match them up to what they said they wanted? And in turn, is it not sensible that whoever provides more of the words in the desired priority should be considered a better match? Thats what an ATS does when it gets your resume. In addition to that keyword-matching, your resume forms the record in the amazingly specialized CRM function an ATS also provides its users so make sure your email mobile phone are in itand if receiving SMS is acceptable for you, *say so*. Many employers are starting to understand that, particularly for employed job seekers, a text is a better way to communicate. by  Ed Han 3. Keep Formatting and Style Easy To Read (on phones) No headers, no footers, no tables or templates. (Yeah I know that’s going to piss people off.) Simplify in a common font using simple bullets and spacing. I can’t believe how much crap opens weirdly, and my folks are techies! Send as pdf when you can but don’t use that as an excuse to over-format. MAKE IT EASY TO READ ON A PHONE. by  Linda Tuerk 4. Repeat- Do Not Put Info in Headers/Footers I agree with the idea of BYPASSING wherever possible. If and when you have to apply online, for heavens sake dont put your contact info in the header or footer it will never get read! by  Virginia Franco, Executive Career Storyteller 5. Consider Plurals, Abbreviations, etc. It’s also important to be extra mindful of: Plurals, Abbreviations, Numbers, Hyphens, Acronyms and Synonyms. For example: CPA or Certified Public Accountant, CRM or Salesforce, 10 Yrs. Experience or Ten Years’ Experience, Nonprofit or Non-profit, 2019 or ’19, etc. Be sure to tailor the content of your resume to the exact keywords or phrasing that is included in the job description. Otherwise, the system may have difficulty matching you with those skills. by  Emily Brown, PHR, SHRM-CP, CPBA 6. But Don’t Make Your Resume Too Pretty Be cautious of those fancy resume designs that dont follow a traditional format or encourage you to embed images that contain valuable information.  While these may look nice to the human eye, resumes with embedded images and unusual layouts often become a garbled mess, or get completely omitted from your application, after it passes through the applicant tracking system.  I wrote an article with all my tips and an infographic on beating the dreaded hiring bots  here. by  Amanda Augustine 7. What Are Keywords/Buzzwords? The unfortunate reality is that recruiters  in all fields are drawn to very specific buzzwords. Silly example: if a job requirement is looking for experience with aqua blue but your resume shows experience with Teal, your resume/profile might not get noticed.    An ATS is only going to pick up what a recruiter tells it to.  Aqua Blue and Teal are pretty much the same, but the system doesnt know that. SOas a candidate, if you know this, then make sure to pick up on the specific keywords used in the job description, and change your resume to show Aqua Blue instead of Teal so that you stand out. PS ESPECIALLY IN TECHNOLOGY, BE SPECIFIC WITH YOUR TOOLS EXPERIENCES =) Thank you  Brian Reid 8. Titles Are Keywords I echo what  Ed Han  said and would add a couple things: Make sure the actual position title is in a prominent position on your resume. Normally this means at the very top of your resume. Use the exact keywords from the job posting as Ed already said. I would add to that to use complementary keywords. If there are other related keywords that are relevant to the position but not necessarily included in the posting make sure you use those throughout your resume too. You may not always know all the right keywords. Do research! Google the skills needed/expected for the position, industry and prospective employer. You could also use sites like Glassdoor or Indeed. But dont be afraid of using a keyword research tool like Moz or SemRush to figure out what other words might be relevant. It might be a little bit of research required on the front end but it will pay off in the long run with a shorter job search. by  Jessica Hernandez 9. Match The Company I agree with all the above. When we have a client that is focused on one role or company, we (together) research the heck out of the company, that particular role, even look at other roles they have open to see if there are certain common keywords we may have missed.  ATS is looking for keywords the company has programmed it for so those words will be in the job description. Read it carefully and be sure to sprinkle those words throughout your resume (and cover letter even) and weave them into your  story. by  Erin Kennedy MCD, CMRW, CERW, CPRW, CEMC 10. But Dont Overdo It I’ll add that it’s important to remember that after your resume gets screened by an ATS, a human also reviews it. It still needs to be visually appealing. I reviewed a resume recently with FIFTY “core competencies” bulleted out at the top. That’s overkill. by  Sarah Johnston, Job Search Expert 11. It’s Not A Buffet it is just really important for job seekers to move away from the buffet style style and treat every application by savoring every moment you have to customize every resume so it stands out as opposed to fitting in. I agree with Ed Han and Jessica Hernandez..keywords are very important and in line with what is being looked for. And, transfer that confidence-be compelling in terms of your accomplishment statements and share what will add to your career story. not what is already intuitively recognized by employers/recruiters and often over-used with no real by  Shelly Elsliger 12. Prepare An ATS Version Have a separate resume for ATS submission versus .pdf submission or handing someone a resume in person. Keep the format simple. No tables, lines, graphs, charts. A complex resume format can keep the system from reading your resume. by  Donna Schilder, MCC 13. PDF or Word? My research says that if the company says a PDF is ok, then it is.  Unfortunately, you dont know how old a companys system is and whether it accepts PDFs.  Hedge your bets, and upload a word doc.  In answer to your second question yes it could exclude you.  Also, try to mirror the job descriptions wording to match better. by  Sarah Holtzclaw 14. If You Must Apply, Know This If you absolutely cant avoid the system then write your resume with the system top of mind.  Identify meaningful keywords (both short and long-tail) and then think: repeatable and relevant when adding them to the file. Next, demonstrate proficiency by sharing keywords in context and with a rich assortment of metrics. It is one thing to include a keyword and another thing entirely to provide proof of ability. Finally, if you include content in the Header. Footer, Charts or Graphs translate details into the body of the file so the system can find them.  It is ok to house details in these areas/graphics but to be safe they should also appear in the body of the file. by  Adrienne Tom, Executive Resumes 15. Use Formatting To Your Advantage And, when you do apply online 1. Follow up in any way you can. Find the recruiter on LinkedIn, or, best case scenario, get someone you know there to fill out the referral paperwork. 2. Be more than keywords. Yes, you need them to get through, but everyone else who gets through will have them, too. Highlight your accomplishments and the experiences and qualifications that make you unique while adding value to the reader. ATS like keywords in context, so dont waste space with long lists (great advice  Sarah). 3. Stand out and increase readability. Dont let ATS myths prevent you from creating a resume that uses formatting research shows increases consumption. Use it to highlight your differentiation. A human chooses who to interview! by  Marie Zimenoff 16. Sure, People Still Get Hired Through ATS I agree that referrals are much more effective, however you might not know someone at every company you wish to apply for. For example, Ive gotten all of my positions (with the exception of my first job) by applying online via ATS. And I think its bad advice to tell people essentially that if they dont know someone who can refer them, they should just not apply. by  Tamara Devine Tools Tips To Help With Keywords ATS Jobscan.co  was mentioned by a couple of people. Check it out. TagCrowd.com  was mentioned as another way to identify keywords in job postings.
