Guy Kawasakis 10 Entrepreneur Pitch Slides Interpreted for Job Seekers

Guy Kawasakis 10 Entrepreneur Pitch Slides Interpreted for Job Seekers Guy Kawasaki has a post titled The Only 10 Slides You Need in a Pitch.  I want to take each of the ten (in bold, below), and then share how this applies to a job seeker. (If you go to his post, note you can click on the image and make it readable) For context, Guy is talking to entrepreneurs who are pitching investors (typically angel investors or venture capitalists), hoping to get them to invest in their business idea. Ive seen a number of pitches from entrepreneurs and I can attest that a lot of people could use refinement in this important communication opportunity.  Ive seen enough communication from job seekers and others who network, when they are in an important communication opportunity, and they mess it up.  Too much information, or too little information. Im not saying these are the 10 slides, or points, that job seekers and networkers need to have in every, most, or any, communications, but consider these important points, and how and when you would use them: Title.  This is your basic information like name, contact info, website, tagline, etc. Ive heard 30 second pitches from interesting people who didnt make it clear what their name is, or how to get in touch with them later.  Make it easy for people to know who you are, and find you. Problem/opportunity.  Guy says describe the pain that youre alleviating or the pleasure youre providing. This is simply what problems you solve how you help companies (or people) what you bring to the table. Value proposition. This is the VALUE of your solution. It takes step two to the next level, where you quantify what you do or have done. Underlying magic. Guy says to describe the technology, secret sauce or magic that you have. This might include trainings, certifications, experience or any special models or systems that you abide by or have created to do your job more effectively. Business model. Guy says explain who has your money temporarily in his pocket and how your going to get it into yours. This is all about knowing who your customer is what value do you bring to people/companies, how much you are worth to them, etc.  You should know what value you bring to anyone who would pay for your services can you imagine being in an interview and sharing how much money your services have generated, because you understand what you are worth to customers? Go-to-market plan. Guy says explain how you are going to reach your customer without breaking the bank. Often, companies already have systems set up to reach the customer, but sometimes your ideas and ingenuity to increase revenues can be the standout difference between you and the other candidates. Competitive analysis.  Do you understand the competition, industry, and companies that are relevant to your company and industries? You bring considerable value if you do. Management team.  If you are looking for a job you wont have a management team or board, but you can talk about who you have worked with, and who has influenced your thinking. Who are your peers, who do you learn from, who do you hang out with (professionally, not privately)?  If I know you are a student of Covey, Carnegie, etc. then I can get an idea of how you think. Financial projections and key metrics.  Obviously Guy is talking about finances from an entrepreneurial perspective. To convert the concept to you, do you know how much you need to make?  How much you want to make? Do you know how people in the role you want make, considering experience level and geography?  This comes down to how much you are worth.  Understanding these numbers will really help you when it comes time to talk about salary, compensation package, etc. Current status, accomplishments to date, timeline, ad use of funds. I would say this final point is your portfolio of accomplishments. What have you done, what projects have you worked on, and how integral were you in the success of those projects? Artists can easily create a visual portfolio I think that we can all have a portfolio. If yours isnt visual, then it should be a collection of stories that illustrate what you have done. Again, these are not 10 points to use in an interview, but if you work through the answers to each of these topics, youll probably be better prepared for interviews, networking opportunities, etc. What do you think?

6 Ways Your Attitude Could be Damaging Your Job Hunt

6 Ways Your Attitude Could be Damaging Your Job Hunt You could be the most qualified candidate on the market, but if you go about your job search with the wrong attitude, you could still struggle to secure a job. Theres more to hire-ability than your qualifications and skills, as people want to hire individuals who are easy to get on with and  are  driven to achieve their best in their jobs. If you make a poor impression in your interview it could cost you the job, so make sure you enter your job hunt with a positive and proactive approach. Even if your job hunt has left you feeling pretty fed up, its important that you do not allow this to affect your behaviour. Here are a few mistakes that could hinder your job hunt: 1) Hostility Managers dont want to hire people with a frosty demeanor, they want to work with people  who are friendly and will work well with others. If you dont  come across as an approachable and sociable individual, you are likely to raise concerns that you wouldnt fit in well with the team, or could cause conflict in the workplace. Make conversation with your interviewer to ensure that they feel at ease around you and never underestimate the power of a smile! 2) Arrogance Confidence can be a good thing when interviewing for a new job, as  its essential that you have faith in your own abilities; however there is a fine line between self-assurance and arrogance. Nobody wants to work with somebody who regards themselves as a gift from God. Even if you are amazing at your job and could well be the best candidate for the job, by no means should you start shouting this from the rooftops, itll only send your interviewer running a mile! 3) Pessimism Pessimism and feeling sorry for yourself will get you know where and if you dont think youre going to achieve anything, then you probably wont! If youve been struggling in your job search, it may have left you feeling pretty disheartened, but try not to let it show when it comes to interviewing for a new role. Try to be optimistic about your chances and in turn you will demonstrate the positive go-getting attitude that lots of employers look for in their staff. 4) Laziness Job hunting isnt an easy task and if you want to land your dream job, youre going to have to put the time and effort in! If you sit back and expect somebody else to do the leg work, you are never going to get anywhere, even if a contact said that they can help you out. One way to prove that you are self-motivated and serious about a job is by following up your job applications and interviews, rather than sitting back and waiting to hear from employers. 5) Rudeness Rudeness isnt a very favourable  trait to possess in general, so youre certainly not going to impress an interviewer or hiring manager if you have no manners! Make sure that you thank them for their time and consideration during the application process and if offered an interview, be sure to present yourself smartly, shake their hand and behave in a polite manner throughout. Manners dont cost a thing, but make a world of difference! 6) Self deprecation If you have no confidence in your capabilities, then why would an employer? You have to really sell yourself in your job hunt and know how to promote your best qualities and skills, so have faith in yourself. By adopting the attitude that you are not good enough for the role, you probably wont do a very good job of convincing an employer that you are! [Image Credit: Shutterstock]

Time for a Change in Recruitment Sales

Time for a Change in Recruitment Sales I’ve got a secret. When I left university, I didn’t know what to do with my career, so I became a recruitment consultant. I’d only turned up to register for temporary work and they offered me a job which my student overdraft couldn’t turn down. When I joined this large recruitment firm, which shall remain nameless, I was sent on a week’s training course. I had naively assumed that becoming a recruitment consultant would be all about helping people find work, helping them with their CV and matching engaging employers with excited potential employees (as well as some actual consulting). After five days of intensive sales training I was slightly more clued up. I was taught that the receptionist was my enemy. How to lie to get to speak to the person you wanted to talk too, and how the key to success is all about making phone calls. Lots and lots of phone calls. All you had to do was ask for the meeting, ask for the vacancy and it shall be given. I’m not a natural sales person, so it wasn’t long before the world of telephone recruitment sales and I parted, with very little regret on both sides. Without disclosing my age here, let’s just say this was quite some time ago, certainly more than a decade. So why are so many recruitment consultants still ringing me up using the same techniques I was taught all those years ago? Same old same old A few weeks ago, what sounded like an eager new recruit happened to catch me at my desk. ‘Do you use agencies?’ said he. ‘Yes we do, we have a PSL etc.’ said I wearily. ‘I am really pleased to hear that you use agencies, he replied, this means you understand the benefit that recruitment agencies can bring your business’. I am sure that this stuff does work sometimes; typewriters and monkeys and all that, but it’s not intelligent. I’m also surprised by the amount of speculative CVs I receive, especially when they are candidates that are nothing to do with our industry, roles we are recruiting for or even in areas where we actually have offices. And yes, I still get CVs in the post â€" in 2012! My final moan is when agencies ring and say that they are representing a candidate who specifically wants to work at our company. Am I really your only phone call of the day then? Good stuff This mild rant might sound like I have a downer on all recruitment consultants. Not so. Over the years I have worked with some great recruitment consultants (consultants, not agencies), and still do. I have consultants that I can ring up, and they know exactly what I need and who is going to fit into my business, that I can have frank and open conversations with and I trust totally. They are absolutely part of our recruitment strategy, even though we put a lot of effort into our direct hire model (which is working great, thanks for asking). I would just like some agencies out there to do something different with their sales approach, and embrace the way that business and technology is changing. There are some agencies out there doing really good stuff in social media. If I wanted a job tomorrow then I know who I would call and it would be one of those consultants with a great profile who are active in promoting their personal and agency brand. They tweet and post interesting stuff, not just the roles they are hiring for. They run seminars on things that interest me without a big sales push.  And they don’t bombard me with sales calls from 1989. There just aren’t enough of them. I’d like to ask………. So my requests to agencies: stop cold calling me when you know nothing about my business. Stop starting your conversations by telling me you are in the area next week and would like to come and see me to tell me what you can do for my business. Like most HR people, I just don’t have time to meet people speculatively. Use LinkedIn properly. Don’t just post to everyone in your network saying how great your candidates are when they are irrelevant to most of your contacts. When I highlight a role in my team I am hiring for on LinkedIn or Twitter, don’t ring me and ask me if you can work on it, like I just didn’t think if it myself. Don’t send a spec CV. And finally Update your scripts and don’t tell my receptionist that it is a ‘personal’ call to get through to me and then tell me it is about ‘personnel’ when I pick up the phone. I learnt that one on my recruitment consultant training course. Related: Do You Expect Too Much from Recruitment Agencies?

Personal Brands Setting Goals Destroys Your Career - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Brands Setting Goals Destroys Your Career - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career A goal is like kissing. If you think too much about it, you’ll freeze when it comes time to make your move. Thinking about it makes you awkward. Unsure. Doubtful you can get it done. The lonely drive toward long-term goals feels as nerve-wracking as a kicker, when the opponent calls a timeout and the kicker’s team is just a field goal away from winning. He’s just gotten the gift of time to get a bad case of nerves. His brain and heart pound as he repeats, “Wait for it, wait for it. Now? Now?” You know the head trash that goes on when you are worried, filled with doubt, maybe exhausted and yet driven to do something you once thought was your destiny. Only now you can’t remember why it was a goal in the first place. Goals mess with your head. Why? The mere process of setting goals is about telling yourself you aren’t good enough. You aren’t where you should be. Your life is incomplete, maybe wasted. Setting goals can be deleterious to your personal branding, which is about creating and maintaining your reputation. Personal branding is about treasuring who you are today, and providing evidence to others that your authentic and compelling qualities and activities have merit. That’s what you’re doing when you share content, network, produce good work and let people know what you do. Personal branding is nearly impossible to do if you’re not liking yourself. Personal branding means you are comfortably living in your skin. Yes, you stretch in your career, and go beyond it. You make progress. You become more expert. You enjoy more visibility. You attract more offers and opportunities. That’s the point of personal branding. You get to be you. Get paid to be you. Get paid better to be even more you â€" or you to more people. This is contrary to setting in stone what you think you are supposed to do long term, then planning it and worrying about staying the course, and the consequences of failure or missed opportunity. This creates nothing, but pressure. That’s why long-term goals are largely disempowering. They can drain your pride and excitement. They can drag you down, just when you need to take heart about what you already have accomplished. They make it embarrassing to change your mind. You wind up calling yourself a loser or worse, when circumstances change and now the long standing goal is really off course. How do you make goal-setting a positive and empowering experience? Do the work of personal branding. Spend time focused on your strengths. Appreciate your real interests. Understand what you are driven to provide first to yourself, and then to us. Show us what matters to you. Let the best of yourself define you in our eyes. Then set up some reasonable milestones that really make you happy to conjure, get ready for those activities or opportunities that will fill you with joy and satisfaction. Goals only make your career blossom when they are tied to your real desires, and they are within range of getting done. Then goals are working for you. Not the other way around.

I Am 60. Is That Too Old to Become a Developer [Guest Post] - Career Pivot

I Am 60. Is That Too Old to Become a Developer [Guest Post] - Career Pivot I am 60. Is that too late to become a developer? There’s a popular meme going around the developer boot-camp world: “I’m an unborn child. Is that too old to start learning to code?” Even millennials ask it. Like exposing themselves as a clunky beginner might become an embarrassing fashion statement? When you turn 30, you have no experience with being 30. Nobody has any experience with the age they become, which means we’re all newbies at life. So, if you’re not learning, you’re not living. I’m a sixty-something code-newbie who’s been a product manager and payments expert for several years. I’m here to prove that you’re never too old to start a new challenge like learning to code, or a new career. Here’s thething Learning and striving to become a developer with some age and business-world experience can result in tremendous advantages. Those benefits will serve both you and the company or client that is going to hire you: 1. You have problem-solving creds. Logic comes easier after earning some merit badges in the scout-troop of Life. 2. You better know the rewards of patience, persistence and practice. 3. You have emotional intelligence. That means you can be a high-performing contributor to a team and get along with everybody. 4. You are more equipped to understand customer experience and see the reasons why. Listen to the most recent episode 5. You contribute to diversity. How Older Developers Help Diversity Ageism is one of those biases that most people are not even aware of. Even older folks can be proponents of codger-bias if they refer to themselves as grumpy, stubborn, or obstinate. Big news! You’ve got no time for any of that nonsense when scoping an algorithm. Like the best sports coaches you had in school, older life-seasoned team-mates add the sauce of wisdom to youthful meat. Besides the benefits listed above, they can enhance team collaboration, performance, and mutual trust. The tech world needs tons more gender-equality AND diversity, and that means more women, more black and brown skin, more homo-lesbian-trans, and definitely more older folks. I’m helping to fill two of those buckets?â€"?the gays and the grays. My Path to Front End Developer My career as a product manager was not demanding enough creative input. I was not getting the opportunities to put my constant self-learning and self-acquired business knowledge to full use. One day, I got turned down for a new role because I lacked web and mobile experience. And that was when I decided to switch my focus to learning some really hard stuff. The first online course was One Month Rails and I got my first exposure to Bash, Sublime Text, and GitHub. Then in one of their HTML courses, I coded my first static page and put it up on the web. Later, I taught myself how to wire-frame a mobile app and took a course from Udemy to try and build it in Swift code (not easy). At that point about a year ago, I pivoted to Free Code Camp and haven’t stopped growing. I believe it’s the best free online training for web development, because it teaches you how easy it is to swallow lessons and how hard it is to cough up real projects and algorithms. Six months later, I paused my Free Code Camp assignments to help two startups with design ideas (for free). From that, I expanded my FCC portfolio-page project to a live site. I put in screenshots of my design concepts, simple web sites, and a company video. I learned how to add Google Analytics, meta tags, the Facebook share button, and a whole lot more. Last month, something interesting happened to speed things up: I got my first paid freelance-developer gig from a friend who owns a small local business. You’ll be able to see it later in my portfolio. I also found a great community called CodeNewbies and attended their amazing Codeland conference in New York City. More about that to come. So what have I learned from learning tocode? Besides renewed clarity of purpose and creative excitement, here are five practical observations that have sunk in for me: 1. Free (and almost free) resources are endless. I determined not to consider a paid boot camp until I had exhausted everything free on the Internet. Yet, the more I know, the farther this free supply appears to stretch. 2. The coder ecosphere is a giving community, and I’m drawn to a culture like that. It rewards and commends smart people who give away knowledge for the good of all. And we must thank Google and others like them. The Big G might be the largest money machine in history, but it provides the world a lot of free knowledge. 3. Making stuff is the real learning. The hard part is the valuable part. The goal is learning enough to create the evidence that you can?â€"?and will?â€"?get paid to make good stuff every day. So, do that now. 4. Learning to code improves sensory and short-term memory. Before this, I couldn’t recall a phone number past five-seconds. No more. It feels like my eye-to-brain coordination has gotten more “imprintable”. Staring at JQuery functions and color-picking hex codes may do that for you. Note: Millennials may not get this concept. Being the first babies born after the invention of video games, many grew up with a natural eye-hand cognitive congruity. When Mark Zuckerberg stated that “Young people are just smarter,” this might be what he meant. And my final point: 5. Learning to code makes you smarter and younger. This has been my experience over the past year with Free Code Camp, Hack Reactor prep, and completing projects. Yeah, some paperwork says I’m older than everybody in the room, but who cares. I have value to give the world and nothing to lose. So listen-up, kids (and everybody else). Forget about “too old” to learn to code, because it’s never too late. Clunky beginners are cool! This post was written byChuck Phipps. Chuck is an up-and-coming web designer in Austin, and a boomer who decided to make a real career-pivot from product manager to developer. “That’s because I have no plans to retire . . . ever.”, he says, and believes that it’s never too late to start a new challenge. His specialty was expertise in the payments industry, but now loves to help startups and non-profits with UX and design. He tweets as @chucphi and is a writer on Medium.com for Startup Grind.

Top 5 Things New Grads Arent Taught In School About Job Searches - Pathfinder Careers

Top 5 Things New Grads Aren’t Taught In School About Job Searches - Pathfinder Careers Top 5 Things New Grads Aren’t Taught In School About Job Searches This blog post is copyright Pathfinder Writing and Career Services. _____________________ Diploma? Check. Résumé? Check. Er, wait. Not so fast on that one. New graduates are facing one of the toughest job markets in history. What few jobs are open have literally hundreds of applicants, some of whom are vastly overqualified, putting newly minted workers at a marked disadvantage. One of the biggest problems grads face are their credentials. While career centers try to provide counseling to students on how to construct a compelling summary of their background that translates to the work world, many students aren’t listening or aren’t given any reasons to the strategy that goes behind the document or a focused job search. Here are some tips that youll not likely be taught in school: 1) Education matters. But experience matters more. Many students put their education front and center at the top of their résumé. Unless you are continuing on in an educational field as your career, you should start to move your work experience that is relevant towards the top of your résumé while moving your education to the latter portion. Why? Because to employers, that experience matters more. They want to know that you can DO the job, not just know HOW to do the job. And here’s the wake-up call: After all of that money you just spent on your degree, for a lot of employers, all they care about is one thing: Did you graduate: Yes or No? That’s a tough pill to swallow, but remember, this is about THEM, not you. How can you make your résumé more compelling and of interest to an employer? Write to your audience and what they care about. 2) Learning doesn’t end with graduation. Congratulations! You’ve just finished several grueling years of school and finally! No more exams, homework, or study, right? WRONG. You’ve just completed the building blocks of your career. Now, you have to think about the long-term. One of the driving forces of successful people in business is to have a strategy that incorporates job-specific learning throughout their working lives. You need to be aware of and take part in ‘Professional Development’ which hones your skills and provides you with the specialized knowledge to not only be a subject matter expert but how to do your job better. Showing a commitment to life-long learning is what sets candidates apart when it boils down to selecting a finalist for positions, according to many employers. 3) Your reputation is now on a piece of paper. In school, where you are known for what you wear and who you hang around with, and you’ve pretty much been with the same age group for your entire life, When you graduate and move into the workforce, there’s a culture shock that happens when you enter the workplace. You are generally one of the youngest people there, and you are a ‘nobody.’ It’s a completely alienating feeling. And that reputation thing? Well, everything you are all about now goes on your résumé â€" where you worked, what you did, and how you did it is the reputation that will follow you throughout your entire career. Take care to nurture it and keep your professional reputation on how you conduct yourself in the workplace a good one. 4) Be patient and you will be rewarded. There’s a quiet revolution going on with employers right now. They are struggling with an extreme shift in how work gets done. Heard about the Generation Y (Millenial) vs. Baby Boomer conflict? Get ready- you’re going to be on the front lines. More mature workers have a different way of doing business which is very hierarchal. “You need to put your time in” is a common refrain. Gen Y are quick to learn (look at how fast information flows from all of our mobile devices) and ‘get it’ faster, then become impatient, which, in turn is not tolerated by the Baby Boomers. Presto! Instant disconnect. Understand that in your job search or during your career, things aren’t going to move as fast as you like. You want it now, but then so does everyone else. If you can learn patience, you will be rewarded, and even recognized for having the maturity to find the right opportunity, versus forcing it.   Its ok to be hungry and ask for more responsibility, but dont be entitled to it.   S howing initiative  will definitely  help you in job searches and be demonstrated in your résumé through increasing responsibilities, but dont alienate employers by asking for too much too soon.  Maturity comes with time.   EVERY new graduate thinks they know everything. As a friend used to say: You dont get your brains until youre 25! 5) You need to build your connections. Jobs will NOT be handed to you because of your education. Education does play a role in favoring one candidate over another at times, but that top-tier school or fancy degree isn’t going to be the sole reason they hire you. You’re going to have to gut it out and face facts: it’s all about meeting people. Join networking groups, get a business card with your name on it, and think long-term with your connections. Don’t ‘use’ the people that you meet and offer to help. Your career is going to span a lifetime, and if you burn someone early on, they’ll likely remember your transgression. No one likes to be used. These tips are important insights in order to attract the attention of employers and build your reputation as your progress throughout your job search and for the rest of your career.
