I am excited I get to blog about this!

I’ve been given approval to announce that we are rolling out an awesome new incentive plan to reward people for referring excellent people to us. This is further proof the marketplace for talent is getting hotter, and we’ve decided to allow anybody to pitch in and help us continue to connect talent with opportunity! While you’re looking for work, you might as well help others find great positions and get paid on the side!

Here’s the details:

1. Find and refer someone to us for a specific job-posting we have. (How to find out jobs, get alerts and more) You must personally know the individual… they have to agree to being referred by you.

2. They get hired or placed on that job and work there for 30 calendar days.

3. We’ll pay you $250.00 cash! Sweet Deal!

This is available to anybody, already employed with us on another position or not. Just be sure you personally recommend the person and be sure they know you are referring them to us!

Good luck!

Seth Godin writes an interesting note about our emerging economies, relating it to an old one which was very modern at the time:

“We’re in the middle of the biggest shift(s) of the last century—whole industries are disappearing, worldviews are changing and the rules are being rewritten.”

What are you doing to be ready?

Recently, we helped students at Provo College by holding mock interviews. They went very well, and some of the people we met seem to be on-track for very excellent careers.

A few days later, we received, literally, a stack of handwritten, personal Thank You notes, one from each of the people we interviewed. This was huge!

What you’re up against:
On Tuesday this week, I started my day downloading more than 250 emails from people looking, even begging for work. Part of my job is to sift through those people as intelligently as possible, finding the ones that stand-out the most and align them with the needs of my clients.

The sad truth is, few people actually do stand out, and we have technology that helps us find the golden candidates in the massive inbound emails, but the ones who do stand out will almost always land more interviews, faster than the ones who don’t. Better than that, the stand-out candidates always seem to have a few common characteristcs. Consider some of these before the next time you slam out 2,000 resumes, mass-distributed to every possible email address you can find:

Personalize Your Message.
Hey, everybody likes hearing the sound of their own name. If you could address your email to the individual who will be reading it, you will get their attention! If you can’t do that, please be at least more creative in your cover-letter than something which sounds like “I’m applying for a job at any company I can find where I might make a buck…”

Show Me—I am not a mind-reader
Give me an excuse to get excited about your potential. Make it easy for me to immediately see how you are different, and how you will solve the problems I (or my clients) have. Don’t bury information in your resume just to follow chronological order. Use headlines, use action-oriented phrases, a summary paragraph and speak proactively about your skillset.

Go the Extra-Mile
The truth is, you should never rely on my tickler file to secure your next position. Give me excuses to remember you. Thank-you notes are absolutely huge for this. They show up a few days after your initial interview, by mail, and they should be hand-written and addressed to show you took time to thoughtfully write it. Don’t worry about tissue paper and a second-envelope though, that’s for wedding announcements.

Summary:The whole point is, the way you approach things before, during and after your interview goes a very long way toward showing how you will work, how you will act in certain situations, the kind of energy you will expend in your job, the kind of attention-to-detail you will give, and how quickly I could count on you to make a positive, measurable difference for myself or for my client.

Good luck!
