How To Spot a Reputable Headhunter

5 Golden Rules of Entrepreneurship

1. You must love the business you open – Many young people tend to open a business because they think it can be lucrative, however nothing can be lucrative if you don’t love it.

 

Even if successful, you must understand that you can make money in anything, but you can’t be happy in everything.

 

2. Failure should be the least of your hesitations when opening a business – Many young entrepreneurs are so afraid of failing that the thought deters them from opening a business altogether.

 

I must admit that I was no different, as during my first few years in business, I tended to drink away a lot of anxiety about whether I would “make it.” Looking back, all the excess alcohol did was make me come close to not making it.

 

3. Work ethic + creativity + intelligence + vision + resiliency – As far as I’m concerned, this is the most pertinent formula when it comes to entrepreneurial success at a young age, as well as at an older age.

 

The great thing is that all of these skills can be honed. I am a firm believer that one can even make themselves more intelligent with a lot of work.  5 Golden Rules of Entrepreneurship Continued.

 

 

 

 

Interview Questions to Ask When Nervous

The only thing worse than being nervous on an interview is being over arrogant when you’re missing all the main points. I always tell my job seekers that it is okay to be nervous going into an interview, however there are certain tricks one can do to ease the tension and muffled talk.

Instead of letting that frog linger in your throat, try asking these basic questions and, while the interviewer is speaking take that time to gain back some of your composure.

1. Is this a replacement or new position? As a headhunter and CEO of an executive search firm, I always want to know this.

2. Do you mind me asking how you started at the company?

3. How would you describe the personalities of the employees who do best at the company?

4. What % of people typically get hired when interviewing at the company?

5. Is there a certain personality that you look for when recruiting or do you see all different types of people doing well at the firm?

6. Who are your biggest competitors?

7. What is the biggest competitive advantage that clients see in your organization?

While these questions will get the other side of the table speaking, make sure that you take deep breaths, take notes and use the information that you are receiving to your advantage and to help you sound confident from here on in. Remember that everybody gets nervous, but the ones who can handle those nerves are the job seekers who get to the second round of the interview.

How to Tailor Your Resume During Your Job Search

A lot of times, job seekers try to make their resumes stand out. Working at a recruiting firm, we receive a lot of resumes via email and have seen a lot of subject lines that are just outrageous. This is not the way to have your resume stand out. Instead of having an eye-catching subject line, why not have an eye-catching resume that makes employers want to hire you for your skills, rather than hiring you for your “witty” introduction.

 

Another mistake job seekers tend to make is that they blindly send their resumes to positions for which they may be qualified. While these candidates may be perfectly qualified for the job, they do not take the time to fine-tune their resume so that it is a good match for the company.

 

For one thing, job seekers should be well informed about the company that has posted the job. It is important to get a feel for the company, whether it is ultra corporate, or more relaxed. Doing this can help a job seeker write an appropriate email along with their resume.

 

Now for the resume. To tailor your resume, you must carefully read the job description, not just for the skills and requirements, but also for the jargon. Many times, job seekers underestimate the importance of using the same language as the job description in their resume. However, the person doing the hiring will notice the similarity between your resume and their job description.

 

Although it seems easy and fast to blast out your resume to every job in which you meet the qualifications, it is these little personalizations are worth the time. These small changes are easy enough for a job seeker to do and will help your resume stand out in a good way.

How Do I Deal With the Boss From Hell?

Dealing With the Boss From Hell

When you have a terrible boss, you can approach the challenge in two ways. The first is deciding that your boss is from Satan’s lair (which they may be) and that there’s nothing you to do for the problem but to grin and bear it. Your second option, which is probably the more effective one, is to assess the real problem: you and your boss’s current lack of communication, and therefore mutual understanding.

The majority of the most successful business professionals — whether they are in corporate or are entrepreneurs — have learned to effectively communicate with all types of people including those who could determine their future within an organization.

Here are two simple ways to improve communications between yourself and that boss whom you simply can’t stand:

1. When you leave the office, leave the office – Staying mad at this individual when it’s supposed to be your time off is not only very unhealthy, but it’s the first step toward significant anger problems.

While there is nothing wrong about mulling over how to ease the tension, there is something very wrong with determining how to get back at this individual, or simply dwelling on wrongs or nursing a grudge. From 5 to 9 either make your peace or figure out the best ways to come to terms.

Anger and over emotional behavior never got anybody ahead. Instead, they get you to the front of the unemployment line. Stepping back will give you a chance to look at the situation with fresh eyes, giving you a better shot at number two…

 Page Ranking Factors by Christina Giampietro

 

What is page ranking? Page ranking is a search engine’s way of deciding whether or not a website is important. There are multiple factors involved in how a website is ranked. Here are some of the main factors involved in page rankings:

 

1. Keywords – One of the factors page ranking is based on is the frequency of keywords on the website. Pages with the keywords in the html are often assumed to be more relevant to the topic being searched. These keywords should correspond to the content of the website in order to drive the most relevant traffic.

 

2. Interlinking – An interlink is a link that goes from one page on your domain to another page on your domain. Interlinking helps to build relevancy of a page to a keyword or key phrase. Correctly interlinking your website ensures that it is found by search engines.

 

3. Content – Content should be unique to your website and well-written. To have great content, you must do the correct research and become an expert on the content. With good content, you are more likely to have other websites linking to your articles.

 

4. Backlinks – A backlink, also known as an inbound link, is a link from another website to your website. Having a website with similar content link to yours gives your website more authority and credibility.

 

While there are an abundance of variables that determines how a website is ranked in the search engines, the above variables should provide the beginner with some guidance as to the factors that will determine the health and visibility of their website.

The Worst Cities to Relocate to During Your Job Search

The Worst Cities to Relocate to During Your Job Search

 

There are some cities that, despite a better hiring economy, lack any sort of competitive job market.  Still, job seekers relocate to these metropolitan areas to beat the odds and, from what my recruiting firm has seen, regret the relocation significantly.

 

While it is possible to find a sales, marketing, or business development job anywhere, even the most talented are going to find more headwinds in cities that are showing little to no improvement.

 

Philadelphia – To give you an idea as to why this Northeast Corridor city makes the list: Philadelphia job seekers hit our site in droves, but there are no employers in sight.  Not even poor ones that don’t offer marketable jobs.  Nothing.

 

Philadelphia may have some good sports teams, but when you can’t afford to buy a ticket due to no good jobs being around, you’re going to be living off of Brotherly Love.

 

Phoenix – When thousands of people lose their homes due to a terrible market, they typically like to leave the past behind them, often leaving the city altogether.

 

While some would say that the amount of competition dropping may be an intelligent time to move, standing out as the best unemployed candidate in the city still cannot be monetized.  Unless you want to get in the distressed housing business, you’re simply going to be distressed.

3 Reasons Why Marketing Employees Get Fired From Their Job

3 Reasons Why Marketing Employees Get Fired From Their Job

 

For a few years, I must admit that I was highly confused as to why my firm had 300 job seekers looking for marketing jobs per day and only one employer looking to hire one. In sales and media, the ratio is 500% more than any form of marketing whether it be social media,digital media or other.

 

I would wonder what I was doing wrong. As time went on and I learned more about marketing, it became evident that these single marketing leads all had a very similar problem that they were intelligent enough to fix.

 

They hired, then fired several marketing employees and realized they needed help. Here were the top three reasons why these marketing employees got fired from their job.

 

1. Too much on their resume, thus raising unrealistic expectations. Marketing job seekers have to really dig in deep and be honest with themselves as to what they know and what they don’t.

 

A lot of times, the marketing job seeker, nervous that they won’t get a job in the field embellish their resume.

 

Going on what I know, I would predict about 70% of marketing job seekers do this and don’t realize the pending ramifications which is losing their job. Why Marketing Employees Get Fired From Their Jobs Continued
