Ben and Me Walt Disney Mini Classics [VHS]

Ben and Me Walt Disney Mini Classics [VHS]Widely known for its (very loose) 1943 Hollywood adaptation with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, this musical is among the Gershwins' very best. Originally a star vehicle for Bert Lahr, the original 1930 production also featured Ginger Rogers and Ethel Merman. This new complete recording includes pros like Lorna Luft, Judy Blazer, Vicki Lewis, and David Carroll, and all of them do a bang-up job. The book is a mere pretext: most of the songs are self-contained and could be used in just about any story, and many quickly became classics ("Embraceable You," "But Not for Me," "I Got Rhythm," "Bidin' My Time.") The upbeat score--the original pit orchestra included Glenn Miller, Gene Krupa, and Benny Goodman--sees George Gershwin in complete sync with his jazz-crazed times. There's barely a wrinkle on this 70-year-old show. -- Elisabeth Vincentelli

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Norwood Builder [VHS]

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Norwood Builder [VHS]A young solicitor, McFarlane (Matthew Solon), comes to Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) begging for help just before being arrested by the sturdy if obtuse Inspector Lestrade (Colin Jeavins) of Scotland Yard. McFarlane is accused of killing a man who not only asked the attorney to draw up his will, but then left all of his possessions to McFarlane in the document. Add to this obvious motive for murder plenty of physical evidence linking the unhappy suspect to the awful crime--including a bloody thumbprint at the scene--and Holmes and his ally, Dr. Watson (David Burke), have their work cut out for them. The ingenious solution to the puzzle is only one of the exciting highlights in this episode of the long-running Granada Television series, featuring the usual sterling work by stars Brett and Burke and a sound character interpretation of the limited Lestrade by Jeavins. --Tom Keogh

Resume: The Best of Richie Havens

Resume: The Best of Richie HavensRichie Havens in his prime possessed an uncanny knack for inhabiting familiar songs as if they were his hometown. He practically hijacked "Here Comes the Sun" out from under George Harrison, turning his 1971 version of the Abby Road tune into a rhythmic statement all his own and, in the process, charting for the one and only time in his career. That's true to a lesser degree with Lennon-McCartney's "Rocky Raccoon," Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman," and Fred Neil's "Dolphins," all of which are found on this 17-track anthology culled from the New York City singer-guitarist's late 1960s and early 1970s records. Havens penned a few songs of his own, notably the antiwar song "Handsome Johnny" (cowritten with actor Lou Gossett), and adapted others in his own inimitable style ("Run Shaker Life," "Freedom," his Woodstock-inspired variation on "Motherless Child"). But he made his mark as an interpreter--one whose work holds up admirably, judging by this focused retrospective. --Steven Stolder

Why employers do not want to hire boomers

Are you too old to get a job? One of the advantages of being an insider is that employers often tell me things they would never mention publicly. There is an implied obligation on my part for complete confidentiality. There is no circumstance under which I will reveal the contributors to this article. So, please, don’t ask and don’t try to guess. I share this with you because I feel it is valuable information which will help many to make appropriate adjustments.

Forewarned is forearmed. This post is written entirely from the point of view that if we know what the battlefield looks like, we are apt to win the war. I do not pretend that this is extensive research, only that some companies have issues. And you have to trust me when I say, this is just the tip of the iceberg. So, read on to learn what you need to know to fight the good fight. Take heart in knowing there are many boomers whose careers continue to thrive. Make the proper adjustments and you too can have job security.

Why some employers are reluctant to hire those over 50. In the past ten years as a career coach, I have often worked with clients who believed they were overlooked for promotion, dismissed or not hired because of their age. Not one of these people looked to their performance or work place interactions for clues. And while each was subsequently successful in achieving their career goals, it wasn’t because we changed their age. Instead, we changed their behaviors, messaging, approach and expectations.

When someone tells me they were fired or overlooked because of their age, I can’t help but think, “That is the symptom, what is the disease?” What is it about age that causes folks to be overlooked or fired?

Are boomers overly litigious? I look to those who hire and work with people over 50 for the answers. All those interviewed said they were apprehensive about hiring people over 50 in case the individual didn’t work out because they were reluctant to expose the company to potential litigation. Their observation was that older workers seem to be especially litigious.

Those companies, especially those in California where there are significant numbers of high tech employers, are at risk because the laws favor the candidate. Even with extensive documentation on performance issues, companies suffer from bad PR and expensive legal disputes. Not something a thinking executive willingly puts on their agenda. So the very laws in place to protect those over 50 are what makes some companies averse to hiring them. Ironic, that.

From individual contributor to VP, during a three-year heavy hiring period, one company experienced a significant performance issue with every over-50 hire compared to a 20% record for younger employees. Each boomer was replaced at great expense to the company. The company is culturally and gender diverse and up till now, more than happy to hire older employees.

Executives with whom I spoke gave many examples of why they avoid hiring older workers. Each complained the candidates or employees often referred to their ’30 years experience’ which provoked employers to respond, “Number of years is irrelevant. the only thing that is relevant is the last four or five years and what was achieved or learned. To me, age is a fact, not a credential.”

Leading with your age. One executive mentioned, “When a resume or LinkedIn profile begins, ’25 years experience’ I assume the person will rely on old expertise rather than up-to-the-minute and contemporary solutions. If they lead with number of years and not recent accomplishments, I run away.”

Work ethic. While you can argue the efficacy of doing so, high tech companies typically develop product plans based on a 50-60 hour work week projections which means employees consistently spend 60-70 hours working. One employer noted, in every case, older employees left work long before their younger colleagues. When a senior manager was asked why he thought leaving ‘early’ was acceptable, he said, “I have more experience than the others. I can get done in less time because I know how to do this.” He was wrong.

The employer responds, “While experience is valued, the processes and techniques for creating products and doing business have changed significantly. Things take as long as they take regardless of how long you have been doing them. Arguments to the contrary, this system works and I don’t see it changing anytime soon.”

“Our younger employees are less encumbered and are more than happy to spend the time at work. They are eager to prove themselves and hungry. Whereas the older employees, especially the individual contributors, feel they paid their dues and don’t have to work as hard. Like it or not, we reward employees based on their contribution. Someone who works 65 hours contributes more than someone who works 45 hours.”

Adaptability. Employers require employees to adapt to new technologies (i.e. Agile), new processes and new business concepts. Older employees who constantly refer to what they did in the past alienate their peers and are not productive. “Here’s how we did it at xyz company…” is a poor substitute for a solution.

The employer responds:?”We need innovative ideas, not a report on what worked in the past. When employees cling to their past experience, it is an impediment to moving forward.”

One of my clients had a manager that simply could not adapt to the Agile methodology for product development. He was a constant road block for release dates and the product quality suffered. He was invited to take classes, givin on-site mentoring and still could not adapt.

The ripple affect was he could not set proper expectations for his team and his old-school techniques were passed on. After nine months trying to solve this issue, the manager was moved to another position; one where he had no impact on the schedule. The company would have fired him for well documented lack of performance, but they were concerned about litigation. Based on this, no one over 35 was considered as his replacement.

Takes longer to make decisions. The ‘fail-fast’ mentality of modern technology companies requires quick decision making. If it is the wrong decision, immediate course correction ensues. Older workers tend to take longer to evaluate and assess and over analyze thus taking more time to make decisions that impact schedules and the bottom line.

The employer responds: “Fail-fast is the key to our modern design, delivery and production technology process. Everything?is affected when decisions are not made quickly. Older employees, especially those not accustomed to working that way, clog up the system. They are no longer hungry and eager to impress. They cease to be aggressive and appear to have stopped caring.”

Attitude. Employers need high energy, enthusiastic employees committed to the corporate mission. Older workers often behave as though this is their last job and they can do the minimum, relax and enjoy job security.

The employers responds:?”Without the constant energy and creativity of each of our managers and executives, we will not succeed. If an older worker is not engaged and forward thinking, they damage the team morale and productivity. They have to keep up.”

“When an older worker reports to a much younger manager, the dynamic is often disruptive. We can’t afford all the personnel issues. If an older worker argues or won’t cooperate because they feel they know more, everyone loses and a lot of time is wasted.”

The bottom line is, often the track record of older employees and the ill-will generated by their behavior and lack of performance makes the company and hiring authorities gun-shy about hiring older workers.

These are just the facts as they relate to some companies. It is a substantive peek inside the rational for avoiding hiring older workers. All that having been said, there are many people over 50 who are not only gainfully employed, but revered by their employers. There are many prospective employers who consider people of any age as viable candidates. It is still important to learn to navigate these potentially career-killing waters.

If you are looking for a new job and are over 50, it behooves you to vet the employer carefully. If you see age diversity, you have found a good prospective employer who has likely not been negatively affected by your poor performing age mates.

I caution you not to kill the messenger. This insider’s information is shared in good faith and I certainly hope that those of you who recognize your own behavior or attitude can make the changes required so employers are more willing to hire your peers.

Overqualified doesn't mean unemployable

Before you begin writing the flame mail to me, that you will not get a chance to interview, tested, because the resume sent do not generate response … and should be adopted is the employer sees as by a qualified, I should Like to remind, several executives get the interviews they want by submitting resume random. It is the poorest job search technique you can use.

Then there are those who actually believe they are, or are perceived as overqualified. All the grounds have a definable response:

Actually wish someone younger, cheaper – no employer has plead that aloud.? What every Manager wants to hire is a successful hire. Better able to define their needs, the higher the probability of interview you a quote.

Over rail concerns, the employer will I leave for better opportunities-employers face from all parts of the company. Your leave is more likely than anyone else on If you have been successfully in this position. Talk about what can be a contribution, not what was done before the surplus.

In their opinion, bored out – if the niche market and you communicate with enthusiasm the challenges associated with this specific task, it immediately goes.

In their opinion, I'm sad – Why would they? If you keep the focus on how you can develop what to do and learn a new approach, the employer does not think of you as a misfit.

I think you need to change my resume delete my senior experience – whether you know the firing offence? If you are not completely honest, and hide or misrepresent, you can be fired on the spot. In addition, they are lies to retain. Better frankly and help see the employer, that although the user has the responsibilities of the senior, there are still things you can learn more and contribute that are unique.

Administrator sees me as competition – Convey how can enter the Manager look good. Ask, what are their priorities, what are the metrics for the assessment of successes in the role and speak only to those. Make sure that the user does not conveying the superiority in the way the unattractive or condescending. Invite a friend, the younger, trusted to chat using a video recorder for later review. The members of each part of the interview attire and the language of the body.

This is my experience that candidates often create their own problems by their patronizing, impatient and by or even conciliatory or Apologetic. Be very critical of the style of the interview. Be Self confident, but not an arrogant. For example: never, ever says, "Oh, that is easy, I can resolve this problem," or similar responses, which reject the importance and difficulty of the interviewer tries to upload.

Overqualified really means "I don't see anything so important in the shadow/interview, so you can hire me to." If you are interviewed, and then listen to the comment overqualified, is certain because they knew about the credentials from my resume, "only not, for that." Finally, the people are employed, which might contribute, in a row at the bottom. Improving the the message.

Overqualified really means it should be pointed out the possibility of promotion and career development instead of a desire to do this task, for which they are hiring. If you really believe they are overqualified and want even this task does not oversell. Talk only about a task, they are open, not all the other things you can do. Keep the focus on solving their current challenge of employment. Remember that decided to interview is with reason.

Overqualified really means does not consider a user accepts a lower salary job offers. This fear is often listed the top, before there is nothing to negotiate. Is the answer that worked for my clients in the past, "when the compensation is important to me, working for the company with the resources and commitment to my success are also important. I am a sincere desire to work in my company's Insane, Inc., because [insert appropriate reason here] market share and to focus on the quality of the products. I am certain that when it comes time to negotiate an offer we can enter the conditions agreed with both. "

Technology review means Overqualified need between tasks. There are communicating why the employer should hire you. Don't get stuck a presumption of a comment. Rarely is true, and even when it is, you can overcome them. If this hurdle still plague its efforts the search task, consider the task coach search makes it easy to align the efforts of the search and the network of their tasks.

One leap: Reboot the search task. Invite someone to are registered mock interview with each other, and then the criticism this from the perspective of the employer. You can also read my books, job search, which shows you debugged way recreating an attractive prospect for work.

Leap 2: Whether domestic network and learn what the priorities are the company and the job. Recalibrate the network your resume, elevator pitch and intelligence to these needs. The employer does not have to pass by the candidates, who understands the business agenda and provides examples of their success to support these priorities. Research, asking questions of law and Knowing how to apply their own examples and transmit their skills to win an interview and get you closer to the offer.

Firm action 3: Come prepared to interview with success stories with results similar to the needs of the company. Use the description of the tasks and line after line, save the specific example of what has been to resolve this problem. Do not give a theory or start "I would ..." Enter the actual sample. Whether each question in the example, or the story and avoid the "subject" or "attend to school" operator, impress and go to the next step. You can also be seen as a perfect Communicator.

Leap 4: And one of the best solution to overcome the objections to the use with anyone, to ensure the implementation from someone hiring respects authority.? Invite this person to support the opposition on your behalf from the outset, so that they do not constitute obstacles.

Not a second call? Do you talk too much?

The songs are only three minutes long with reasons.

If the songs were significantly longer, we do not remember it, or lose interest. The format was tried, by unauthorized persons and proven over decades. You know, the principle of the network than?

Biggest sinWeb is boring the audience.How many times you have been asked a simple question like, "what you can do?", where you can run the full history of the life of employment?

Distribute to stop listening after about three sentences. More than that, and whatever you say will be lost. Preparation for any meeting with the only exactly the answer to the question, the user is asked, and if the good work, the listener will be questions; which means that the user is interacting.

Find that it is difficult? Try repeated in response to the question. "Work xxx" or "what is, and whether or not? …"

The second Sin: to speak in the people is a horrible way to create a bond. Come prepared with questions and keep the eyes, if you want people to remember. When you hear the information people TELLING instead of sharing the experience, you are in them. Do not do so.

You don't know how to reduce your spiel? Provide their responses to 12 year old. If you can tell which meant, or ask the relevant, you are on the track. If not, try again.

Learn to answer questions from the respective threads that contain the results and you will be remembered.

Choosing A Professional Resume Format

Professional resume writing
To grab attention is many relationships to create a professional resume to land interviews.

Other candidates vying for the same position much competition clearly, from there.

You should start writing to determine resume format. Basically resume resume: Chronological resume, resume and three types of formats. The strengths and weaknesses the following description.

Old resume format
The most common Furthermore it ?人 most familiar things, chronological CV format is. Start the latest jobs by accountability in the form of time series, corresponding with each job is displayed. Date for each job sections included in the curriculum vitae, and normal career objective, skills & attributes include sexual or profile section and the education section.

However, not include the date in the actual job. Career history section is typically limited location list company name, company and job title. One advantage to using this format are usually short resume length is. You might get, can you imagine if you have performed the same duties more 25 years of work history and some work (without mentioning again) how long your resume. Is an effective method for reducing the number of pages read a functional resume format employer, and the impact of stronger than applications. The drawback of this CV format recruiters do not like it. If you throw the trash if no dates are included and raise too many questions are suspicious take on the job history 得???. At the same time, we maintain phone use resume feature because I received at my age, but I doubt ringing my work history gap interview requests and from.

The book is a mere pretext: most of the songs are self-contained and could be used in just about any story, and many quickly became classics ("Embraceable You," "But Not for Me," "I Got Rhythm," "Bidin' My Time.") The upbeat score--the original pit orchestra included Glenn Miller, Gene Krupa, and Benny Goodman--sees George Gershwin in complete sync with his jazz-crazed times. There's barely a wrinkle on this 70-year-old show. -- Elisabeth Vincentelli

The career myths that make your job search

Question markProvided that the employer understands the importance of your previous role is one of the myths of job searches: Gustavo Graff/EPA

You have more control over your job seekers than you think. Avoid these common misconceptions that unnecessarily can extend your job hunt.

Recruiters working on your behalf

Recruiters and head hunters working for its client (the company pay them to fill a vacancy) rather than for job seekers. They are often hired to find a candidate with specialist skills, or very specific experience.

If you change your career, it is often more fruitful to obtain opportunities yourself. But if you have skills in demand, recruiters who work in your area should be an important element in your job hunting strategy. Be clear which jobs or companies you are interested in, and get advice on how best to present your CV or prepare for an interview. Recruiters have often valuable inside knowledge of companies and executives who they work with.

Not chasing recruiters with phone calls and treat them as you would treat anyone on your network — by giving and ask. So rather than to require only that the question of appropriate vacancies, pass along useful information, such as potential leads or name. Aim to build and maintain long-term relationships: a Recruiter who specializes in your industry may be able to place you at different times in your career.

Employer will appreciate your previous job and how it is relevant

Large number of applications means that hiring managers scan CV quickly to ignore them does not match the requirements. Make sure your not exempted by analyzing it from the reader's perspective.

If you change the industry or role, use the correct terminology and (if necessary) learn how to change the direction of your skills and experience to make them relevant.

Be clear what problems you solve and what value you take right from the beginning of your CV – not bury your key selling points at the bottom of the page two.

Your referee will give a glowing reference

You need not provide references on your resume or to write "references available upon request". But prepare the references for the interview. Find ex-bosses or colleagues who can guarantee a credible for your professional skills and attitude. Send them a copy of the job description and your CV and then discuss issues they may be asked about your personality and job performance. why you left and if they would use you again. Priming your judges as they should be better prepared and more convincing, but it also means that you can smooth out any differences.

Interviews are all about the interviewer

As you already are a serious contender for the role of acting part of a certain professional and treat your interview as a two-way meeting, instead of a single-sided grill locations. Your aim should be to determine whether the work or undertaking is a good match by asking thoughtful questions that indicates your desire to make the right career choices. You'll be much more attractive than a candidate who seems desperate to take all available jobs.

Not adopt the interviewer know you are anxious to get the job. Employers prefer candidates who are enthusiastic about them and the opportunity, so if you want the job, ask for it in the end, and explain why.

Tâche in research, are the most important cover letter than Resumes


As a long time recruteur, coach and teacher, I saw many aspect of the current process change the search Job last year. Bar And no, nothing more than find work in the process than the arts of cover letter writing. What could have been reading today you other experts said, think of it as a process and you will understand that it is extremely clear.

Job search process.

-I need a your job a better job & I need a companies to feel and to call me

Not that he is in brief? nothing else matters! The process today simply begin the enough to have a company that go to the next stage.

-cover letter you = the first level of interest, curriculum = you obvious qualification and your job interview = last stage, the skilled hire!

Real you comes in the secret letter, introduction in a simple introduction you are to be so you stand up. You assume I have your curriculum qualifies, the hand and a better cover letter as an introduction, the rest just nothing. If they can walk through the cover letter, qualification, as well as they can, just won't the case deserves greater recognition. As simple as I can put it.

Reprend need, if they are residual functional or chronologique. But at the end of day, but they did not come across, too much. A little reyalizan for best fit the work to arrive, but this is still only a small modification. After all you are a curriculum plan best, where you were, what you have to be completed, competences Center and others. There is not enough you can tweak in the area. But you cover letter, challenge. He needs reyalizan for every career opportunities possible. Anything less is a cover letter pattern.

We still need to cover Letter to: exactly right for all the work you apply for. These days the cover letter pattern absolutely dead. Will never stand out, like everyone else has exactly the same, modeles which is a type of candy manure approach. And believe me, see thousands of letter headed letter from rare, do only that, it really is when you write in, sincerity and genuine, real people behind the word of God, every time.

Don't forget the process. A covering letter recruteur struggle you, when interesting enough-they don't want to Curriculum, detail you where you already qualified status and a interview work organized. But the process is all about cover letter before.

Think of it is here, two views a recruteur. I received a letter and all 100 and reprend reprend on the same content. How do I decide to interview. Again, it will be back this weird cover letter, real to you as a introduction. This is the area we battle with, as you actually sell in cover letter, like it or not, which is exactly what we should do. Sales and said. Curriculum is not sold, this is a blueprint, as a page of information. They have to do in the cover letter to get to the curriculum, and for this reason, line bottom the prepared curriculum you before, we need such reference when writing this letter a that Cabinet members cover letter of introduction.

After covering letter, the next obvious talent we obviously need master artist is two interview work his head again, this will come down to that the real and our ability to communicate well articuler and any skills, in your experience, and others. Most people dread job interview with, so people need to prepare well. But most people have no shred of interview work because they remember the single most important crossing, the cover letter.

Finally, as a teacher, I'd rather a learning approach collaboration. Said, I would like to ask you to join my email newsletter, as I want commentaires you and advice. Do I can count on your support?

Your reference you can make or break chances

Whether your reference chinch transaction?

Want to talk with references to potential employers. You know, the elements of good will, says about working and integrity, but they speak about these things, which will land the job?

The search for the excellent work requires that your references are primed and ready to apply what's new employer most wants to know in a way relevant. Teach them what to say.

Tell them what you need without specifying what to vote. OK, so you are reluctant to say THE CEO how to talk. There are ways to suggest the proper patter than are not strictly speaking.

Ask your reference to the comments on the site, in the case where the employer is not in doubt. If they are sure how to set their skills or style of management will be scaled to a larger organization, ask the user what their view of the reference. Once they feel the employer needs to hear, just say it. "The employer is likely to be relieved to hear of x, you can say that."

Ask user references, "If you hired me today, what are the reasons three, could make?" This helps focus the answers and gives you the opportunity to discuss, "which was satisfying project because xxx."

If they do not include potential employers feel wants to hear, ask, "during the negotiations And the transfer of technology in xxx, there are serious reservations which have worked and created Buy so you can go ahead. This is something, what do you think potential employers would like to know? "

Still do not know, they say, what will the specific employer? Try, "was one thing, in particular due to promote me?" or "offer x project or for the award of any relevant for the next job.

If you feel you're feeling a little more active stance, "XYZ Company's highest priority for this task is cooperation. What examples will be offered to prove their I'm very common? "

Notice the desired example. The gold Standard is the reference to the actual examples, which may refer to the new employer. If your reference list property, always ask them to develop, with examples.

Intangible assets, such as integrity, work ethic and leadership are important only if they can be the backup with examples; Examples of the results. Turnover was lower faster new shareholder client or other success high priority.

If parallel user references, you should increase the chance of employment. High probability of competition does not, and most people just don't know how to give good reference. In addition, most users do not know how to ask questions of the right to appeal. So take the matter into their own hands. Landing the job because your reference actually were excellent.

Jobs are like busses, if you get on the right one, you arrive at your destination

Abstract: Executive career planning for job security – Visibility, choosing the right employer, your professional brand and importance of a Personal Board of Directors.

Are you in the career you planned when you were in college? Have you had more than?one career? Do you know where you want to be in three, ?ve or seven years? Do you?know how to decide? Do you know how to make it happen?

My most successful coaching clients are able to articulate short and long-term goals.?They are courted by hiring authorities, recruiters and peers. They know their brand,?their value to prospective employers and exactly how to articulate that value. And they?know when to say ‘no’ to an opportunity, no matter how seductive, because they have?a plan.

Just as a vision is critical for the success of a company or product line, so too is it?critical for the success of a career. And just as with a product, when course corrections?are made due to unforeseen opportunity or risk, the right changes are made and the?career is not derailed.

Managing your career means you are likely to earn more money over your lifetime.

Example:

Rod S. is a Seattle area IT executive known locally for fast problem?resolution and innovative solutions for back of?ce tools. He works for a recognized?leader in delivering products and his team makes that happen.

Rod is 41 years old and eager to leverage his reputation into a higher paying job that?will get him closer to his savings goals. When a NYC company came courting with the?promise of a $200k increase in his paycheck, he was ready to pounce.

Rod’s long term goal is CIO of a Seattle technology company. The job is for a non-technology company that needs someone to get them up to speed in their IT?deliverables. He has the skill set and knowledge to do that. He knows he can do it and?convinced himself it is a good move, even though it is not in Seattle.

Risks: Moving to NY to a non-technology company takes him out of the mainstream IT?arena. His network is diminished, his work hidden from view. He cannot later leverage?the ‘brand’ of the company, nor his personal brand as an IT leader since his work will?be invisible to the outside world. He loses the kinetic momentum of Seattle peer?relationships and, while he will have a larger pay check, his expenses will also be
higher. In truth, the job is seductive only on paper.

If he takes that job, he delays or kills his opportunity to be CIO of a technology?company because it does not move him closer to his goal in any way.?And worse,?because non-technology companies are notoriously resistant to technology innovation?and change, he will probably self select leaving within 18 months, thereby corrupting?his resume with a short tenured job, out of state from his intended home.

Net: “Can I be successful here?” is more important than “How much money can I make?”

You are building a career, not just taking a job.

Your resume and your career.

The Wall Street Journal reports that 40% of executives leave their jobs within 18 months. And every one who does potentially creates serious career damage. Employers believe people who stay in jobs 4+ years are better than those who move around. The ?rst thing anyone who views a resume checks for is the pattern of longevity. You can offer all sorts of reasons for leaving but the fact is, any candidate with a sturdy work history aces those without.

There are no reasons or circumstances employers accept when faced with that choice. Preserving your resume is critical to your career success. Thus, career planning is critical to avoid taking the wrong job. Knowing how to vet a prospective employer is equally important.

Employers are very good at telling an executive what they want to hear when they want to hire them. It is incumbent on candidates to dive deep to discover the real truth. Job Search Debugged lists the criteria investors use to vet a company and also talks about?how you can get to the truth.

Example:

Of six recent clients, two had less than three years in four recent jobs, two had a pattern staying six+ and one had eleven years with the same company.

Eleven years = Job opportunities came to him which were all signi?cantly more senior than his current role.

Six year pattern = Hiring authorities and investors tapped him for similar roles to theone he had with greater responsibilities and or more $$.

Less than 2 years in more than two recent jobs = No one reached out and their job?search was stressful and frustrating. Only second tier companies were interested and compensation was not as high as in the other two scenarios. [Read ideas to overcome this issue]

The importance of the kindness of strangers.

Determine where you want to be in three-?ve years and know how to get there. I have always found it somewhat magical that anyone aspires to a given job without actually knowing what that job is about. Sure, we talk about titles, but do we really know what tasks the individual does?

Get to know people who have the job you want in ?ve or more years. Ask to shadow them, ask questions about how they got to where they are and what worked, what they would do differently. There is no better preparation for a new role than knowing what it requires in more than the theoretical sense. You need a roadmap.

Mentors. Those clients who have a mentor tend to be promoted faster and receive accolades more frequently. One such individual was commended by the CEO for having contributed to the betterment of the corporation because of the processes he brought into his own department which were then duplicated elsewhere. His mentor guided him towards that outcome. [Mentors typically guide executives for decision making and process, Coaches tend to guide on leadership and interpersonal growth.]

Personal Board of Directors, the open sesame for career advancement.

No company expects to run well without a Board of Directors overseeing and guidingtheir important activities. They are the fail-safe for any company just as they are for an executive.

Fast-track your career with a Personal Board of Directors the same way companies fast-track their business. Those successful executives who work their career plan expertly have a Personal Board of Directors. I encourage all whom I coach to create a personal board to access ideas, solutions and wisdom they would not otherwise have.

Over time, the board provides connections, leads to jobs and continuing support as?you build your career. One client interviewed and was in the top two for a CEO position. The job was seen as a stretch for him until he introduced them to his Board of Directors. The company was visibly impressed and understood two important factors that distinguished my client from his competition.

1.? The executives he could call on for support were accomplished, noteworthy?and fully cognizant of the applicant’s career strengths and weaknesses. They felt safer with their decision to hire him because they knew the track records of those who had his back.

2.? Introducing the employer to his board was a very sophisticated form of name dropping. Their concern about the candidate’s outreach to the community

The Board as a powerful networking resource.

The fact is your personal board will?accelerate your entrepreneurial learning curve. Your board is fully aware of your career objectives, experience and strengths because you update them, interact with them periodically on the topic. You can take it to the bank that when it is time for you to do a job search, they are the ?rst to connect you to their network for spot-on opportunities.

And even if you are not looking for a new job, when a suitable opportunity arises, they?will be quick to mention your name and provide an introduction. Now THAT’s networking.

Your personal brand opens doors.

Think you can just call an established executive and ask them to your board? Thinkagain. They have to feel supporting your efforts will make them look good. And for that, you need a highly visible track record.

That’s where your brand comes it. You have a brand whether you created it purposefully or not. Get control of it using social networking opportunities and any public forums or speaking opportunities. Job Search Debugged speaks to building your brand, step by step without making it so time consuming you have little else to do. Know your brand and use it when people ask what you do or where you work. It is your elevator pitch for social circumstances.

Beyond Twitter and Facebook:

Volunteer – Nothing builds a bond better than a shared experience. Get to know people outside the work venue.

Join – Alumni groups, hobby groups and community efforts are alive with folks youwant to know. There’s nothing like a car club, for instance, for building relationships with people you would not normally meet.
Attend – Become a ?xture at certain business networking events.

On Steroids:
If you don’t already have one, get an MBA. The people with whom you matriculatebecome part of your career network for life.

In Summary. When you are branded and networked, jobs come to you. When people know you they refer you and invite you to participate. There is nothing like an excellent personal relationship or strategic introduction to overcome ageism issues and career obstacles.

You are judged by the company you keep. Work hard to maintain your brand, stay in the radar of the right people, chose the right opportunities and your career will be resilient and lucrative.

You've heard the expression, "Getting a job is a job." No one knows more than you how many hours a week it takes searching, researching, applying, interviewing, reflecting, and so on, to get a job. It's not easy; but it was never intended to be. The harder the job, the harder it is to get the job. Essentially this means that if you are an entry level employee, it should be a fairly reasonable process. But if you are at mid-career and have held significant authority and responsibility, it's going to be a more lengthy and sophisticated course.

As someone who has been in the staffing industry for more than 18 years, I wanted to share an "insider's perspective" on what every job seeker should know about the process. I'm continually amazed that potentially great candidates for my jobs simply don't represent themselves as well as they could by not playing by the job-search rules. Yes, I agree there should be room for creativity in the process, and what works for one might not for the other, but there are some general rules that apply 99% of the time. Here are 50 recommendations to apply to your search:

The First Step - a Killer Resume

1. Don't worry about it being one page. Since most resumes are emailed and rarely printed, it's not a big deal to have a two-page document. Be sure to have your contact information at the top of the second page as well. You could possibly need a third page, but try to avoid that.

2. Put the best information at the top. Since resumes are viewed electronically (most often using MS Word), the top half of the first page is what is in view when the recruiter reviews your resume. If the most relevant and most compelling information isn't in that partial view, it is often not even opened or printed.

3. Replace your "Objective" with "Summary of Qualifications". That way you don't have to customize your resume with each position you send it for. This information is more meaningful to the reader as well. List your top professional skills at the top of the resume so it's the index to the rest of the document.

4. List your most recent job first. Resumes should list work history in reverse chronological order with the most recent at the top. Typically you would go back through the last ten years, but that's up to you based on how related and impressive your older jobs are. The point is that you don't have to go back to the jobs you had in high school.

5. Balance tasks with accomplishments. Recruiters want to know what you did, but not on a micro level. It's not necessary to list each and every task you do in a day. A general summary of your key responsibilities is important to have on your resume. Additionally, a bullet or two about your results as related to your tasks proves your success in your role.

6. Accomplishments should include quantifiable information. Include specific values in your statement (i.e. dollars saved, percent of increase or decrease, numbers of employees supervised, etc.). This information adds validation and credibility to your employment history and can really set you apart from others.

7. Save some information for the interview. Think of your resume as the Cliff Notes of a great book. You are just presenting the important highlights. The details and stories associated with the content are meant to be discussed in the interview.

8. Format your resume so it's easy to read. A plain font like Arial or Century Gothic is easy on the eyes. A "curly font" like Times New Roman can be distracting and busy looking. A font size of 10 to 12 works best. White space is important, so keep your margins to an inch on all sides.

9. Include Searchable Keywords. Most recruiters use keywords to search for resumes on the job boards and in their own databases. If your resume does not include the keywords they are using in their search, it won't pop up. Read job descriptions for your skill set and add recurring words from the description to your resume. Keywords usually are specific to education, equipment, and job titles. So, if the position required a bachelor's degree and experience with Vertical Milling Machines as an Industrial Engineer, the words bachelor's, Milling, and Engineer would be used to search for resumes.

10. It's okay to double dip. Most resumes are emailed these days, but why not use an old-fashioned technique of mailing a nicely printed hard copy as well? The extra step will serve as a reintroduction of your credentials and also show you are willing to go above and beyond to get the interview.

Don't Skip the Cover Letter

11. Have one. Whether you choose a full letter or a detailed email message, it is important to customize your resume by adding a specific message when you send it. This is an easy way to stand out as so many people simply attach their resume and do not bother to outline their experience.

12. Correlate what they want with what you have. Read the job description and requirements thoroughly and write three key bullet points that match their information with yours in your cover letter. This makes it easy for the reader to determine your qualifications quickly.

13. Use sir names. It is appropriate to refer to the recruiter or human resources representative by Mr. or Ms. in your written communication. Until you meet personally and are given permission to call them otherwise, it is best to be more formal.

Attention to Detail Goes a Long Way

14. Make finding your resume easy. When submitting your resume by email, include the title of the position you are applying for in the subject line. You can also include a short tag line that catches the eye. For example, Customer Service Manager-10 years experience in multi-channel center. And use your full name as the file name for your resume document so it can quickly be referenced.

15. You shouldn't be crazylazy@yahoo.com. Be sure your email address is appropriate for a job search and not personal. You can get additional email addresses at most domains like AOL, Yahoo, and Gmail.

16. Use a header for your contact information. Include your name, phone number, and email address at the top of each page of your resume. Especially at job fairs, resumes with multiple pages can easily be separated.

Where to Search

17. Surf the Net. A company with 100 or more employees is highly likely to post their position on one of the major job boards like Monster, CareerBuilder, HotJobs, and/or Craig's list. Be sure to get your resume posted to all those sites, so it can be searched by as many recruiters as possible. But, when searching through job postings, just use a site like Indeed.com which pulls positions from all the boards. That way you only have to visit one site to get the benefit of all of them.

18. Read the Sunday paper. Yes, printed Help Wanted ads are used less now that the Internet is so integrated for job searching, but smaller employers still use this resource since licenses for posting on the major job boards are expensive.

19. Stop in the CareerCenter offices. These state funded and operated centers offer one-stop information on getting a job, opportunities for training, hosting on-site interviews and job fairs, and networking opportunities. Plus, their services are free. Make it a point to visit a CareerCenter at least once a week during your search.

20. Brave your way through a job fair. What a great way to hit up a slew of employers all in the same day. Yes, you have to repeat your story and schmooze the whole day, but the efficiency is worth it. Don't pass by any booth without stopping to ask, "What kinds of positions are you hiring for today?" Employers are paying to be there and are interested in seeing many candidates. It's win-win to at least make an introduction with every employer there.

21. Spread the word. Connect with former coworkers and managers, friends and family, and just about anyone who knows people. Let them know you are in the market for a great job and give them permission to share your resume. Follow up with an emailed copy so they can easily forward it to their contacts.

22. Tap into social networking. Using sites like LinkedIn.com is helpful for researching positions, companies, and the people who work at them. Get your profile posted for free and join groups associated with your industry and interests.

Be Prepared for Being Screened on the Phone

23. Even though it's on the phone, it's still an interview. Recruiters often call candidates whose resume initially matches their requirements to get further information and make a decision about inviting them to an interview. Play the part and represent yourself in the same way you would if sitting in front of your interviewer.

24. Be sure the timing is right. If a recruiter calls you unexpectedly and it's not a good time, politely offer to call them back later in that same day. That way you can focus without distractions; they understand you have a life. Plus, you'll have time to review the details of the position and the company and collect your thoughts before returning the call. Better yet, when you are in job search mode, let your calls go into voicemail so you can take control of the return phone call.

25. Be a compelling communicator. Since there is not an opportunity to see facial expressions and body gestures on the phone, your voice qualities have to be top notch. Sounding confident, interested, cooperative, and pleasant is a skill that is worth practicing before going live.

26. At the balance of power. You are not in the driver's seat with the interview process. Let your interviewer guide the call and ask the questions. At the end, if they invite you to ask any questions, always find out what the next step of their process is. Close the call by thanking them for their interest and expressing your own.

Ace the Interview

27. Knowing a little means a lot. Visit the company's website and be familiar with their products or services. Determine what makes them different from others in their industry. That way when the question, "What do you know about our company?" comes up, you'll have a great response.

28. Dress the part. Keep the "one-up" rule in mind. Always dress at least one step up from what you would be wearing on the job. It's far better an option to be overdressed than it is to be underdressed, so respect the process and your interviewer by suiting up.

29. Go with your "Sunday Best". You never know what the taste of your interviewer will be, so it's always best to be conservative in your style and color choice. You can't go wrong with a solid color suit or separates and a button up shirt or blouse. Avoid open toe shoes and over accessorizing.

30. Arrive 10 minutes early. Not a half hour early. Not 10 minutes late. Ten minutes is enough time to settle down a bit before you actually meet. If for some reason you will be late, realize you have possibly blown the interview, but make a phone call to explain your situation.

31. Make a powerful introduction. Set the tone for a great meeting with a warm handshake, look in the eye, "happy to be here" smile, and "Hello, Mr. Insertnamehere, it's nice to meet you." Regardless of gender, it is proper in a business meeting to greet your host with a handshake. It should be appropriately firm and use the full hand.

32. Bring additional copies of your resume. This shows your interviewer that you are prepared and resourceful. Plus, now you get to show off that baby in its intended form; resume paper still exists.

33. Be polite. Wait to be shown where to have a seat. Don't put your personal belongings (ex. Padfolio, keys, and resume copies) on his/her desk without asking first. Accept the glass of water if offered. You may need it since you will be doing most of the talking, and being nervous can make you choked up and dry.

34. Honesty is always the best policy. A good part of the interview is centered on your work history. Be honest about your skills, contributions, and reasons for leaving. There is a way to present even not-so-pleasant situations in a reasonable and understandable way. Covering up, omitting information such as work history, or lying is sure to come to light eventually.

35. Show interest. When the interviewer is talking, you want to show signs of engagement by looking at him/her directly, nodding in acceptance, smiling, and showing interest. You can be enthusiastic without looking excitable. You want the vibe to be positive and open, so approach the meeting as such. Your body language will follow your mindset.

36. Don't wear out your welcome. You'll know when things are wrapping up. Have a few questions saved for the end, but don't go on too long. Most interviews are less than an hour, and often the interviewer's schedule includes more appointments after yours.

37. Ask the "must know" question. It is important that you know what the next step is in their hiring process. Often, more than one interview is required to get the job. Ask about the hiring process and when you can expect to hear from them next, and confirm that you have provided enough information to be considered for the next step.

38. Leave a lasting impression. There is no better way to do this than to shake their hand, thank them for their time, and express your interest in all that you heard. Saying something like "I am very excited about this opportunity and look forward to hearing from you by Thursday." reinforces your interest and confirms the timeline for next steps.

Following up is a Forgotten Art

39. Send a thank you note or email. This is as obsolete as rejection letters have become. But, it's one more opportunity to make a positive impression, so why not do it? As many times as you can get your name in front of the person responsible for hiring you, do it.

40. Follow up after a reasonable amount of time. Hiring the perfect fit takes time. But, if it's been more than a week, or later than you were told you'd be contacted, you should send an email to express your interest in the position and ask for information on where they are in their process. It's a good idea to attach another copy of your resume to this message.

41. Say thank you to "No, Thank You". If you get word that you have not been selected to move to the next step, reach out once more to thank the interviewer for his/her time and valuable information. You might have missed this opportunity, but additional contact could keep the door open for future positions.

Some Harsh Realities

42. It's a competitive job market. You read the job description and consider yourself perfect for the position. The problem is that others will feel the same about themselves. The way to stand out is by not only having all of the skills required of the position, but some additional or unique qualifications as well. Maybe your education is from an impressive university; perhaps your longevity is legendary; it could be that your accomplishments are more striking than most. The only way to know is to send your resume and cover message and point out those distinguishing features. It's okay to feel confident about your specialized skills and showcase them in this process.

43. Fast is not always fast. The advent of Internet recruiting has a down side - quantity verses quality. Recruiters get flooded with response immediately after posting their position. Their job is to filter the random to get to the right one, and that can be an exhausting and time consuming process. Keep track of the resumes you've sent and follow up after a week if you have not received a response.

44. A resume black hole does exist. Some companies have sophisticated applicant tracking systems, and others are quite unorganized and amateurish with their hiring process. It is not unusual for resumes to get overlooked or misfiled. If you feel truly qualified for the job and a week has gone by without a response, resubmit your resume and cover letter.

45. You are likely to not get any response to most of your resume submittals. Rejection letters faded away several years ago because the task of sending them became overwhelming due to the volume of candidates generated from Internet recruiting methods. Again, if you feel the position perfectly suits your background, follow up with another copy of your resume after a week has gone by. For added follow up, mail a printed copy as well.

46. Recruiters and Human Resources representatives often do not fully understand the job description. They may hire for every position in the company, so it's understandable they can't be an expert on the requirements for each job. Here is where LinkedIn.com can be helpful. If you have not had any response to your resume, and you feel you are truly qualified, search the company name on LinkedIn.com and consider sending it to someone in the company who may better understand your qualifications. It's a risky move, and could ban you for life with that recruiter, but it can also be a bold and resourceful move that gets you to the next step with the right person.

Preparing for the Emotions Involved with the Process

47. First there is the Fun Phase. When you first start your job search, it can be very exciting. There are a lot of positions out there, and so many seem to be a perfect fit for you. You spend time thinking about what's next, and how great it's going to be, which is very enjoyable. Bask in the fun phase; it usually doesn't last very long.

48. Then you move into the Frustrating Phase. After sending out countless resumes and getting no response, it's easy to get frustrated and annoyed. You attend every job fair and have circled through your network more than once with no job offers. No news is not good news in the job search process. Allow yourself permission to be in this phase, but pull yourself out quickly because it can be very defeating.

49. The worst is Futile Phase. When things aren't going your way, you start to give up because of your lack of controlling the process. You feel depressed and useless. The best way out of this downward spiral - be useful. Volunteer some of your time, tackle that list of things you've wanted to do around the house, take a break from the job search process for a few days and enjoy time with your family. Again, accept this phase as part of the normal cycle, but be aware of when you are in it and what it takes to get you out of it.

50. And then it's back to fun. The timelines associated with each phase vary with every person. It's okay to move through them at your own pace. It's helpful to have a good support system in place and to talk to others who are in the same situation. As much time as you can spend having fun with the process, the more productive you will be. Getting a job is a job-but it can be an interesting, informative, and inspiring one if that's the way you choose to work it.
