9/16/20 – Resume MythBuster Panel

by

Written by: Connie Huber SHRM-CP PHR

Resume Panel

We are all familiar with resumes. The goal of the resume has been to get an interview. Did you know resumes have been an employment practice for over 500 years? “While it is unclear who actually invented the resume, Leonardo Da Vinci is the first recorded person to use one. In 1482, Da Vinci wrote a letter to the Duke of Milan in an attempt to gain his patronage and support. Da Vinci’s letter listed his skills

KEYNOTE: Resume MythBuster Panel

Resume MythBuster panel had the privilege of having four of Phoenix’s finest resume experts including Brenda Cunningham (BC), Donna Tucker (DT), Martha Rockwell (MR) and Amanda Miller (AM) – all members of the Resume Writers Council of Arizona.

INTRODUCTION
QUESTION: Overview of you, your services and business. Biggest mistake you’ve seen on resume.
ANSWER:
BC: Brenda has received certifications in resume writing, coaching and established her confidence. Biggest resume error is where the resume lists everything. The document needs to be focused.
DT: Has participated by being on Board of National Resume Writers. Mistake has been where writer has written solely in paragraphs or bullets. Donna provided a comprehensive Job Search Guide here!
MR: Martha has over 20 years in sales and marketing. Martha loves what she does. Martha has come across resumes where there are job descriptions without any quantifiable results.
AM: Has been writing resumes since 1996. Her expertise is marketing, sales and project managers. Amanda describes herself as more of a generalist. A mistake she has seen is where the resume only has a name on it and missing all other relevant information,

QUESTION: Resume background and certification. What makes you an expert?
ANSWER:
BC: DT has the newest form of certification. Validation of skills by a larger community.
MR: A concern is getting and accepting the wrong information from those people who are not skilled or knowledgeable.
DT: The resume writer is going to know what words will be accepted by ATS.

MECHANICS/FORMAT
QUESTION: Most important things to have on a resume?
ANSWER:
AM: Most recruiters spend 6-10 seconds to read a resume. Be sure to include contact information, LinkedIn profile, and email address. There should be a short summary and value statement. There should also be an overview of experience. Be sure to avoid portraying
yourself as an old person. Include any degrees or certifications you have received.
MR: Job title on resume needs to be the same as the job you are applying for. A summary statement is helpful in your presentation to an employer.
DT: Give a summary or profile of what you can do. Avoid pronouns in your resume. Write in the first person. Talk about current or future job.
BC: Share the goals you have achieved in your roles. Font should be 10-12 while margins should be 1-1 ½“.

QUESTION: LENGTH OF RESUME
ANSWER:
MR: Resume should be 2 pages. If you have masters or extensive experience, the resume may go into 3 pages.

QUESTION: Number of years back should you go.
ANSWER:
BC:10-15 years
MR: Same.

CONTENT
QUESTION: Accomplishments-what they are, their importance, & how to incorporate. How someone with extensive work experience emphasizes soft skills.
ANSWER:
AM: Accomplishments are results you have achieved in performing your job. Your accomplishments should make you stand out from your peers and make you a highly desirable candidate. The resume should be sprinkled with accomplishments throughout the document. Ideally, there should be accomplishments for each role you have had and listed from the most impactful to the least.
Chronological resume is used more than a functional one. Functional should list 2-3 skills that the employer would like to see. Functional resumes are not good for Applicant Tracking Systems. In addition, functional documents do not parse information successfully.
DT: Accomplishments will demonstrate the candidate’s impact on company. Numbers give credibility to candidate. Accomplishments should be bulleted and listed in order of importance.
MR: Review job description of desired job. Tailor you resume to match the job. Your resume is your sales pitch.
DT: Can’t sell yourself for a job until you know the job description and company overview.

QUESTION: Number of resumes you need to apply for jobs.
ANSWER:
AM: Need only 1 resume with different versions. Your resume needs to be tailored to the open position.

QUESTION: How to handle employment gaps.
ANSWER:
DT: Share lack off work due to COVID. Indicate you were laid off. Add line to resume sharing what you have been doing since you have not worked. Volunteer your time and share details with hiring managers. Avoid focusing on negative. Give yourself time to breathe. Do those things you have been meaning to do.

QUESTION: Applicant tracking systems are awkward and plentiful.
ANSWER:
There are over 200 different applicant tracking systems. ATS reviews the resume for key words. DT: One of the best ways to get around ATS is to establish the desired skills for the job. Review your connections that work for the desire company. Use your connection as an entry to the company.
BC: Invest in yourself and career. Continue learning about you and your profession.

“The challenge in life, I have found, is to build a resume that doesn’t simply tell a story about what you want to be, but it’s a story about who you want to be.”-Oprah Winfrey

8/19/20 – Interviewing with Confidence

by

Written by Gary Matsuda

Interviewing With Confidence Carmen Payne

You’re hoping for a career change, but the world’s wheels keep falling off during a worldwide pandemic and recession. To help get you back in the driver’s seat (with the wheels) is Carmen Payne,
an Executive, Personal and Professional Development Coach.
Now you got an interview scheduled, congrats! You should have enough time to prepare everything from the technology set up, your introduction and possible answers to common interview questions, so don’t wing it! Carmen breaks down some of the major factors to make sure that you nail the interview.

KEYNOTE

Relax, the interviewer is not likely trying to trip you up. They generally want you to succeed and demonstrate your best, authentic self (If they are relying on trick questions to screen candidates, you might not want to work there anyway). However, if you are not going into the meeting prepared, well that’s you doing it to yourself! But Carmen’s interview prep techniques can take the pain out of preparation and help improve your confidence and credibility.

A few of the most dreaded interview questions that seem to stress us out to no end are:

  • What is your greatest weakness or greatest strength?
  • Describe a time when…
  • Give or share an example of/when…
  • How did you handle _ situation?
  • Tell me about your last /current job or _ employer.

Your responses to these challenging questions should exude confidence right from the start. Come across with a well-rehearsed short story and you’ll make it easy for you tell and for the interviewer to remember your answer. No one sentence answers allowed. Elaborate. Show them you know your experience and abilities will apply to the job. To help you do this, Carmen has her clients use the commonly used, easy-to-follow ‘STAR’ technique.

Tell Your Story as a ‘STAR’

S – Situation, background. This is the environment, location, time that sets up the context for your answer. Don’t dwell too much here, spend just enough time to set up the scene for the interviewer. You’ll want to lead them to the next step on your involvement in the problem.

T – Task or Target, specifics of what’s required, when, where, and what you were responsible for.

A – Action, what you did, skills used, behaviors, characteristics. Don’t draw attention away from you by mentioning what the team, boss or coworker did. The focus is on you.

R – Result, outcome, what happened. End your example on the positive including achievements, lessons learned, goals, milestones met or relationships created or saved (Ta da! Nailed it!).

Don’t worry, there could be overlap in each of these categories and parts of your answer might not fit exactly in this specific order. Just use this as a template and adapt to your unique story. The goal is to engage the listener and make your accomplishments clear and easy to remember.

This STAR technique is flexible enough to help you answer almost all behavioral questions, like this:

“Describe a time when you had to work with a tough customer and what was the result?”

Example answer:

“I understand the customer has their own goals to meet, their own job to do. Last year when I was leading a project our clients requested new requirements and our team was caught by surprise. It was very frustrating to work hard only to have much of it tossed aside by new requirements. I contacted the customer to find out more and discovered the changes resulted from factors beyond anyone’s control. After explaining the reasons to the team, they became more accommodating and empathetic to the customer and were able to deliver something that was still useful to the customer. The client was appreciative for our flexibility in getting something delivered on time and saving part of their business.”

Always practice before hand and refine your story to provide clarity. Also, during the meeting, the interviewer can always ask if something needs clarification. Tell a story in this format and you may get the listener to think, “I like what I’m hearing, tell me more!”.

You can’t hide behind the screen

Just because you’re on a video call and your image is smaller than life, don’t think your flaws might be hidden behind the computer screen. Since the interviewer doesn’t have a three dimensional in-person perspective, they’ll be even more focused on what’s happening on their 8” x 5” flat image of you. Although they’ll listen to every word you say, most communication is non-verbal and your body language can be 55% of communication. Any non-verbal clues as to who you are, what you’re thinking and feeling might be picked up so you still have the ability to communicate a story that either sounds energetic or appears apathetic or passive. So, look alive!

Carmen says it takes just the first few seconds of your first impression to weigh on the final judgement of you and that will happen long before you get to talk about your experience. Sooo…

Prepare Your Introduction:

  1. Breath, relax your shoulders and if possible warm up your vocal cords by speaking a few test phrases out loud before the meeting.
  2. Greeting e.g. “Good morning, (repeat their name correctly)”
  3. My name is _, very nice to meet you.
  4. When things are back to normal and it’s in-person meeting, shake their hand.
    Other non-verbal tips for video
    Don’t be a talking head! Set yourself far enough away from the camera so that your upper body and posture is visible. This also allows use of your hands to convey non-verbal communication. It’s been proven that when your hands are visible, trust is much more likely to be communicated.
    This can be a hard habit to break but the eyes have it. Imagine talking with someone who is constantly looking at their feet. That’s the possible impression your giving if during a video conference you constantly look at your computer screen. Look at the camera. Although it may take practice since it will feel unnatural to you, you’ll appear more natural to the interviewer when you do this.

Before the interview be sure to check your connectivity and login details, that your camera works, mute notifications and close all unnecessary apps to free up memory.

Video interviewing has been here for a long time and will be around as an option for the foreseeable future so putting effort into this will not only serve you well for job interviews but on the job as well when you are making an impact with clients!

7/15/20 – The Leader’s Mindset

by

Written by Gary Matsuda

Kristi Staab

Your ‘good enough’ is no longer good enough. Excellence is required. As the economy slows, there are more applicants than jobs and you’re competing with so many others with the same skills and experience. But there’s a way to give yourself an edge over other candidates.

Kristi Staab has the secret sauce you may need to stand out. An international speaker, author, trainer, and consultant, Kristi has been coaching and developing individuals, teams, and organizations to excellence in the areas of leadership, sales, and success for over two decades.

Keynote

More Than a Feeling

Emotions exert powerful influence on how we perceive events around us. They seem to come and go involuntarily. Yet you can think yourself happy, sad, angry just by associating with positive, negative or neutral thoughts. But career wise, we don’t do something just because we’re in the mood or not do something just because we’re just not into it right now. You’re a professional, don’t serve your feelings, instead let your values drive your actions.

Developed over time our values are relatively stable and come from our cumulative experiences, how we’ve been raised and lessons learned from difficult times. It defines what is important to us individually and brings context on how we build our character, mindset and actions which can be radically different between us. If situations or people are in conflict with our values, we will feel it intensely and emotions start coming to take control. Most of us aren’t going to seek out trouble, but will try to live in alignment with our values. Do the same with your career search to find the right environment that lines up with your values.

Values Drive Decisions

During the Covid pandemic, many of us have been stripped of our professional identity. Not only are some of us out of work but we’re also isolated, compounding the feelings of no longer being part of a group. Kristi says when we are under stress, we often start doubting ourselves and examining our basic needs which she calls deficiency needs. These are:

  1. Do I have enough to be safe, protected?
  2. Am I accepted, part of a group?
  3. I am enough or do I have worth?

We certainly don’t want to show employers that we need money, are lonely and need our self-esteem boosted! When these concerns become top of mind, that’s where our values can come in to help guide our next steps. With so many of us going through social and economic uncertainty in a competitive job market, we can create an advantage for ourselves if we get out of our negative mindset and into action.

You Don’t Have to Master Your Career Search

While your job is looking for a job, unfortunately you can’t add that to your resume. To be sure, you must put in the work to sell yourself which is an essential skill. But what is it about yourself that you’re selling?

This is where Kristi can help define your true values and make you more market ready. How close you are to a match for your next job and how long you last there depends on the degree to which your values align with the organization. We all know someone who has done something just for the money. How long do they last and more importantly, how satisfied were they? Consider matching as many of your needs, motivations and purpose with your next employer, so you’ll be more actively engaged with your work, bring out your best and embody excellence. Work might actually become easy!

Kristi doesn’t like to see people suffer (that’s one of her values) and instead wants to see people not just to survive a crisis, but to thrive according to their values. Your sense of purpose and mission should be so clear to you that you feel you can power through just about any obstacle in order to achieve your goals.

Find what a company values through who you know in the organization. What’s their mission, have they been mentioned in the news or social media? Use Glassdoor, LinkedIn, expand your network so you might be able to find those who currently work at your target organization. Consider reaching out to ex-employees, they may have valuable unbiased positive or negative insights of their previous employer.

What mindset do you bring?

Check in with yourself during your job search and well before an interview to recognize and stop letting your feelings tell you that because you were laid off that you’re not good enough, not skilled enough or not something else enough.

To help you grow personally and professionally, use professional organizations like Career Connectors who offer so many resources that will fit your needs. For now, you get to reinvest, reset, re-imagine, and renew! When you can bring that to your next job, you’ll be able to inspire others who may have doubts of their own. (Hey, you’ve been there, and you know what it’s like.)

When you’re crystal clear on your values and willing to stand alone you become the motivation, inspiration, representative of what others can become — in other words, a leader. For now, forget virtual. Get values. Get into your mindset.

6/10/2020 – Expert Tips on How to Navigate the ATS

by

Written by Michele Rock

Jackie Shierenberg

Sometimes a job search can feel overwhelming, especially during these unprecedented times. Do you often wonder if your resume went into a black hole? The whole process can feel impersonal and extremely frustrating. Today, Career Connectors brought back Jackie Schierenberg from CommonSpirit Health (previously known as Dignity Health). Jackie has over 20 years of experience in talent acquisition, with expertise in finding top talent, HR Technology and maximizing social media in the hiring process. She shares her insights to help us better understand how to successfully navigate the ATS (Applicant Tracking System).

Keynote

Dignity Health…Our alignment to Common Spirit Health

  • February 1, 2019 alignment completed
  • Currently have 159,000 employees, last year hired 34,000
  • Open positions = 7200 +
  • Recruiters handle 40-120 requisitions at one time
  • Recruit in 22 states
  • 139 Hospitals + Urgent Cares and Medical Groups
  • Dignity Health ATS = ICims
  • CommonSpirit ATS = Taleo
  • 2019 reviewed over 1 million resumes

How does a Recruiter attract, find, and engage talent?

  • Current Candidates
  • Past Applicants
  • Employees
  • Referrals
  • Social Media (Share what it is like to work at the company, feature leadership, showcase hard to fill positions, etc.)
  • Career Portals and Talent Pools (Follow specific companies and never miss an opportunity.)
  • Passive Jobseekers
  • Boolean Search
  • Association and Conference Lists
  • LinkedIn
  • Job Boards

A Job Search is like a puzzle. One needs to employ all of the aspects highlighted above to pull it together and be successful!

What is an ATS?

It is a software application that recruiters use to manage their recruitment and hiring needs. It will do everything from posting a new job on websites, filtering applications, storing job descriptions, supporting collaboration efforts with hiring managers, documenting the hiring process and providing advanced reporting. Companies rely heavily on these systems to process the hundreds of applications that come in for a posting in a faster, more efficient manner. Many newer systems are using artificial intelligence to aid in the overall process and remove human bias. Companies are able to maintain compliance and pull reports to analyze metrics about a specific posting, role, candidate and more.

Most job searches today start on Google.com. Candidates can search to see who is hiring, research targeted companies, learn minimum requirements and the keywords to include in their resume, gather salary information and tips for interview preparation.

When you are ready to upload your resume keep in mind the following:

  • Keep it simple! – Many ATS systems will strip away formatting or even omit information if they find unknown tags within the document. Font type, bullet points and some file types can “confuse” older systems. Consider a basic formatted version using Arial or Times New Roman to specifically upload online.
  • Be aware of the requested file type – Jackie recommends using a PDF format unless noted otherwise.
  • Keywords – Be sure your resume has terms that are specific to the role and used in the company’s job description. You can use generic keywords for a specific job, but if you are looking for a nursing role and the description specifies RN, be sure to use RN rather than Registered Nurse. Some recruiters may include both when they search for candidates, but you have a greater chance of rising to the top of the search by using the exact terms for the company’s posting.

Do Your Homework

  • Company Career Sites – In addition to Google Search use the filters on a company’s career site to search job postings. Job boards may not be as up to date with positions. There is not just one way to search. Always search using the different filters to ensure you get all the possible results.
  • Leverage Your Network – Try to find people who are connected to individuals at the specific company you are targeting.
  • Talent Pools or Communities – These are available on the employer career portal. They are helpful for recruiters to proactively find candidates and great for Passive Job Seekers (warm leads). You will also receive recruiting news and be part of email campaigns.
  • Glassdoor.com – Research the interview tips, salaries, and benefits.
  • Sign Up for Email Alerts and automate wherever possible – This feature is often in the search function after you have uploaded your resume on the company website. It can save you time since you will not need to regularly check the company’s website to ensure you don’t miss a new posting. You may also be one of the first candidates to apply if you are on this list.
  • Recruiters Often Tag Candidate Profiles – Try to make personal connections with the talent team by social media, career fairs and even cold calls. Recruiters can apply tags to a candidate profile to make candidates easier to find later.
  • White Text – Type keywords from the job posting in white text at bottom of resume. The words will not be detected when printing, but could help your resume get pulled by the ATS.
  • Meet the Minimum Qualifications – Always review the minimum requirements and ensure they are demonstrated on your resume. Recruiters are looking for those minimums to share your information with the hiring manager.
  • Be Discoverable – Companies can see the different resumes you have submitted and your history, but are going to look at your most recent one. Make sure your profile is as complete as possible to ensure it is pulled.
  • Get Personal with Recruiters – Leverage LinkedIn to find recruiters and hiring managers. Once you find them, search for their contact information on Google and make a call or reach out directly to the talent or hiring team.
  • Cover letters – Recruiters generally do not read cover letters. However, if you have an impactful story to share – add it as a cover letter and combine it with your resume as one document.
  • Resume Guidance – It should never be more than 2 pages and should not include a photo. Your contact information should be at the top of the page, then a summary of your skills, then your work experience and highlight your education at the end.
  • Salary Expectations – Companies should not be asking your current or previous salary. You do not have to include salary expectations. Instead use $1 or 9999 to get past the field.
  • Virtual Events – Be authentic and be prepared to discuss the opportunities. Recruiters are also learning how to successfully maneuver in this new space that was caused by Covid-19.

WealthWave’s Network of Leaders are all independent business owners who have been flying in formation for years shaking up the status quo of the financial industry and shifting the advantage in favor of families all over North America.
