Welcome to The Ladders Readers!

Welcome to The Ladders Readers! Sunday night a blog post from The Ladders was published, titled 6 Apps to use during your job search.  We were pleasantly surprised when hundreds of Ladders readers jumped over to JibberJobber and signed up We welcome you, and hope that JibberJobber (on the mobile and web) will help you organize and manage your job search. Furthermore, when you land your job, if you believe in managing your career, and want to be prepared for the next transition, continue to use JibberJobber. Its a lifelong tool that should add value to you whether you are in transition or not. FAQs: Um Im confused.  How/where do I start? Understand that JibberJobber is a tool to organize your job search and networking. We help with this: Where did you apply, which version of which resume did you use, who do you follow-up with, and when? JibberJobber is not principally a job board (we have postings, but thats not our primary value or promise) what you are doing in JibberJobber is putting in names (of companies and contacts), tracking where you are at with a job you are interested in, and any important or semi-important communication. The first thing I would do is look through the Getting Started videos. just look at the titles. This should give you an idea of what people are doing in JibberJobber.  The first two videos help you understand the concept of JibberJobber, the rest are nuts and bolts to help as you get started. After you have browsed the titles, you should have a good idea of which clips to watch. We arranged these in an order that a newbie might go through, step-by-step but feel free to jump around. Why dont I just use my Excel spreadsheet or notebook to organize my job search? You certainly can.  Go for it.  If it becomes too disorganized, or you are missing follow-up opportunities, or you find it hard to find something (a name, phone number, conversation, etc.), you might consider a database-driven app (JibberJobber!). I started my job search with an Excel spreadsheet.  Not only was I spending too much time creating, updating, managing, and adding to my spreadsheet, I was creating a rats nest that was increasingly difficult to navigate.  It became unusable.  Another way to say that is it became useless. I figured that once my job search was over, my spreadsheet (0r spiral notebook) would get lost.  The next time I was in transition I would likely start from scratch, recreating a spreadsheet, trying to remember who was on it. JibberJobber is a solution to all of those problems.  We have various search tools to help you find stuff (contacts, companies, job titles, dates, phone numbers, emails, etc.). We allow you a good deal of flexibility on how you see and interact with the data, but you dont have to create or recreate any design its already done for you.  And when you land your dream job, you can keep using the networking section of JibberJobber, or you can just pause and walk away while you are working.  When you are in transition again, just login, and all of your data will be there, just as you had left it. Can you imagine having a tool like JibberJobber over the last few job searches youve done?  You would have so much awesome data/information about your networking efforts for the last few years imagine starting from that, instead of zero, in your next job search! How much does JibberJobber cost? JibberJobber has a freemium model that is, use it for free, forever.  You can optionally upgrade.  There are only 4 things right now in the upgrade level, which you can see here. The main reason people upgrade is to get access to the Email2Log feature, which is killer cool.  You can learn about it in the Getting Started videos. Note that if you upgrade, and then downgrade, you DO NOT lose any data, ever. Worrying about your data sticking around is NOT a reason to upgrade.  Once it is in, its there, and accessible. If you want to upgrade, you have four options: One: Pay full price.  No big deal, its just $9.95 a month. Two: Pay half price. If you upgrade for a year, you pay $60 (which comes out to $5/month). Three: Watch Jason Alba Pluralsight videos. All JibberJobber users get a 30 day pass to Pluralsight each time you watch a Jason Alba video, you can get a one week upgrade on JibberJobber.  Watch 50 courses (or one course 50 times)? Get 50 weeks of upgrade This is AWESOME: details here. Four: Ask your coach, or outplacement firm, for an account.  Some coaches and outplacement firms have an agreement with JibberJobber to provide their candidates with JibberJobber premium. What if you dont want to pay?  No problem!  A couple of years ago we moved most of the premium features into the free side so the free level of JibberJobber is really quite powerful.  Heres the link to what you get if you upgrade. What is this Pluralsight stuff all about? About three years ago I started working with Pluralsight.  My first course with them was how to use (and optimize) LinkedIn.  Last year I did 14 courses.  Im working on my 30th course right now. As a Pluralsight author I can give you a 30 day pass to Pluralsight.  There are over 5,000 courses designed for technology professionals (developers, designers, architects, project managers, etc.).  My courses are all soft skills (or, professional development).  While they are designed for the technical audience, my stuff is all principal-based, which means it is applicable to pretty much anyone. Login to JibberJobber, get your 30 day pass, and start watching my videos. For each Jason Alba course you watch (just search alba in Pluralsight), you can claim another seven day upgrade. Again, heres how you do it. It takes all of 60 seconds to get your account and start earning JibberJobber upgrades. Disclaimer: Pluralsight does NOT pay me when you sign up, but if you watch my course, that contributes to my royalty from them. One more thing we realize that JibberJobber is, well, kind of complex.  Its a complex tool to solve a complex problem.  Were working on simplifying the user experience  meanwhile, if you get stuck on something, PLEASE use the Contact Us form and reach out to us.

Shoot To Kill - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Shoot To Kill - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Jason Padilla had less than one hour of sleep for an entire week. Along with the other harsh conditions and brutal physical training that are routine for hell week after hell week during Navy SEAL training, Padilla earned his trident in a graduating class of 20, a significant cut from the 223 US military candidates who started with him during SEAL training. Proving that the US is the home of the free and the brave, Jason exited his proud military service and launched SEALS on Security, a small business leveraging the rare combination of honed intelligence skills and extraordinary physical abilities he and his cadre of former SEALS, FBI Special Agents and Army Special Forces relied on to complete missions and stay alive under fire. According to the Sage Business Index, small business owners appreciate what’s in their favor, even in this economy. Particularly, most entrepreneurs know there’s not another place better than America when it comes to the spirit of risk-taking. Padilla personifies how to do it right when launching a new small business. His personal brand is now defined by what he has done professionally and whom he is personally, which is how he chose his profession in the first place. Like the best authors who stick to writing what they know, the best entrepreneurs launch ventures in fields they know really well. Padilla now protects business executives and their families, at work and at home, with the same strategic approach he used to protect dignitaries and diplomats in hostile environments overseas. Given that most executives go global, even if it’s just for a vacation, it helps that SEALS on Security provides travel planning, too. And, with an eye for contingency planning, squad members are also trained mediators and emergency medical technicians. A lot of business coaches will tell you to follow your passion. But that only works if you are also really good at what you really love, and you have the ability to plan out your funding, marketing, operational and human resource requirements. Of course, protecting lives is a different business than opening a knitting store or providing web design services. But the approach to business planning isn’t all that dissimilar. Padilla looked at his competition before deciding on his strategy. Particularly, he saw how other firms in his sector hired personnel. Per the Sage study, access to a qualified workforce is another benefit that US firms enjoy. In Padilla’s case, he means no disrespect when he points out that firms he competes with in his industry often hire retired police officers.  â€œStatistically, police officers, who comprise a large portion of other companies’ security teams, have a 10% shooting accuracy. It is hard to fault them, however, when you realize they only go through a six-month academy and they are rarely given opportunities to brush up on their shooting skills,” he says. When you can sum up your competition as lacking fundamental expertise in what is perhaps the single most important part of your offering, you are probably in the right venture. While not every small business demands as much as SEALS on Security does from its CEO or employees, it still takes some heroics to depend only on yourself to choose the right business and decide on the right tactics for implementation. Even with the best planning, you really won’t know if you’ve done the right thing until you’ve pulled the trigger and seen if you have what it takes to run a successful small business.

6 original gift ideas for everyone on your list

6 original gift ideas for everyone on your list Another year, another golf shirt for Dad, right? Wrong! (Sorry, Dad, but I am sure last years gift still has plenty of wear left.) Here are some original gift ideas for everyone on your list.   Mom: Photos Mamas are usually the toughest because let’s face it, how will you ever be able to get a present that tops her gift of life to you? Impossible. Thoughtful gifts that make her smile? Possible. Photo inspired gifts will bring back happy memories from times spent together. Maybe you order photos and pop them into frames that suit her taste. Perhaps she is a morning coffee or tea drinker and would love to wake up with a photo mug from her favorite family vacation. Or if all of her recent photos are on Facebook, you could go old school and order a handful of recent ones to start a (non-digital) album #tbt or create a 2016 family calendar. Dad: Sports tix We have done golf gadgets. We have done golf shirts. We have done grilling tools and other stereotypical “Dad stuff”. What about tickets to his favorite sports team? If you aren’t sure when he can go, check for gift cards that he can use towards his ticket purchase. Sometimes experiences are better than things or more of the same things each year. Siblings: ABCs Some of us have big modern families (I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters!) A is for Accessories. My sister can rock an elastic headband like the best of them so a couple of months ago when I saw a sparkly headdress that I knew would look beautiful on her at a local boutique, I snapped it up and put it in my gift closet. Side note, there are more super chic ones online and a portion of the proceeds goes towards finding a cure for childhood cancers. Not a headband girl? #DoYouBangle ? Check out the latest arm candy by founder Carley Ochs at Bourbon and Boweties. One night Ochs fashioned souvenir bracelets for family and friends with some stones she brought back from China by wrapping a gold bangle around a red Solo cup. Seemingly overnight, the name Bourbon and Bowetiesâ„¢ was born. Now, these are made in America by proud southern hands (but the semiprecious stones, geodes, smokey quartz, lava stones, shells, turquoise, jade, polished coral, peruvian opal, agates and many more natural stones are hand selected from all over the world!) B is for Books. As a voracious reader, I love books (cough cough Santa, Autobiographies are my fave cough cough) and believe a book  is a  timeless gift. Once you know your sibling loves history, guns, fitness, the environment, art, etc., you are a few clicks or one bookstore errand away from selecting the perfect addition to their nightstand. C is for Camera (stuff). Do a little recon and find out what kind of camera (if any) they have. Once you know, you can grab accessories they may need â€" a new case, tripod, fancy lens, mount kits, or whatever else you believe will help them better capture their life moments. Significant other: (hmmmm tbh, idk I am single…jk) Symbolic Gifts You could make a dinner reservation for the place you had your first date. Find something in their favorite team’s colors and pair it with a customized tumbler with their name (or your nick name for them) on it. If none of this sounds quite right, gentleman, we love jewelry and ladies, he loves anything you get himalright  fineif you  must have  60 great  ideas for your man, Real Simple has you covered. Coworkers: Home accents Anthro has the full spectrum of gifts from beautiful ornaments to adorable planters scattered throughout their house and home collection. Everyone else: Fancy Chocolate Columnist Archive

Smoke and Mirrors Are Fun Resumes Really Just Fluff - CareerEnlightenment.com

Not only that, but the success of creative applications is partly dependent on industry. Without fail, the big news stories cover applicants in creative fields: advertising, copywriting, design and technology. But slip a sparkler through the letterbox of a law firm or corporate grad scheme, and you’re more likely to get sued than hired.Can we compromise?As with all things under heaven, there is a middle ground to the creative job app. The art is finding a way to stand out within the constraints of the standard process.Firstly, there are ways to make a resume eye-catching short of putting it on a chocolate bar. Simply shake up the layout. Infographic resumes are a neat way to get a bunch of information across in a visual, stimulating format that can be as professional or playful as you like. Alternatively, try using charts or a mind map format â€" anything to up your visuals.This approach is unlikely to put off prospective employers. If you can’t afford professional resume-writing services like Stand Out CV, don’t shy from self-designing. After all, if you’re applying for a creative job, it’s an opportunity to demonstrate your skills.Alternatively, if you’re up for a client-facing role â€" sales, PR, consultancy and so on â€" you might want to consider making a video resume . You can find platforms all over the web; all you need is a camera and a proactive attitude. Just remember: a video resume should never replace a written one, only supplement â€" it’s for showing off your personality and communication skills, not your experience.Finally, if you’re just looking to make yourself that bit more visible, follow up on applications. If a couple of weeks pass and you hear nothing from a company, send one polite email â€" more will look desperate or, worse, stalkerish â€" enquiring whether your resume was received. It shows you’re organised, dedicated and, most of all, that you care.I don’t know whether this tea-stained scroll got its designer any interviews, though I like to think it did. What’s clear is that he put more effort into his resume than most â€" and that, whatever the result, gets top marks from any recruiter. So if you want to stand out from the crowd this application season, try revving up your resume first. You might just be surprised by the results.
