What is RSS? http://www.whatisrss.com/

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web
content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers
syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

Why RSS? Benefits and Reasons for using RSS

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to
easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are
interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually.
You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email
newsletter. The number of sites <http://www.syndic8.com/feedcat.php>
offering RSS feeds is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo News
<http://news.yahoo.com/rss/> .

Article: What's Memorable About You? (Feedblitz)

Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net   eric_s_nilsson

Mon Jan 18, 2010 9:43 am (PST)




What <http://timsstrategy.com/whats-memorable-about-you/> 's Memorable About
You?

Posted In: Networking <http://timsstrategy.com/category/career/networking/>
, Quick Tips for Job Seekers
<http://timsstrategy.com/category/quick-tips-for-job-seekers/> by Tim

You may get asked this question at an upcoming networking event. Often by a
group facilitator trying to give everyone some ideas of what to say during
the upcoming elevator speeches. It's good direction, of course. Because if
you are not memorable you are, well, forgotten. You move off the top of the
mountain. Beaten down by someone with a really good story, experience or
unusual skill. You may tumble to the bottom. And now you are climbing back
up. Pushing water.

And if you are no longer on top of the mountain, you are not "top-of-mind".
Top-of-mind means that you are among the first to be considered for some
action by someone else. A call for coffee, the sending of a job lead, the
introduction to an influential person in their network.

This question is also asked by a fellow networker. Only your fellow
networker won't ask it quite so directly. In fact, the question may not
even be spoken out loud. It is simply assumed. That you will wow them in
some small way to deserve attention.

That's why networking is hard for some. Especially those new to the task.
Because they think that just showing up gets you points. And if you collect
enough points you get awards. Enough awards and you get a prize of some
kind. Not true.

So, what is memorable about you? Is there anything? Are you sure?

I'll bet if I interviewed you I could find at least two things. Things that
would make people pay more attention when you are introducing yourself. Try
me <http://timsstrategy.com/contact-tim/> .

Because when you walk up to the crowd at a networking event. And you find a
small circle to join and say hello. They'll all look at you. And be
thinking the same thing.

Wow me.

Article: (You Might As Well Be) Wearing A Fanny Pack To Networking E

Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net   eric_s_nilsson

Mon Jan 18, 2010 9:48 am (PST)




(You

king-events/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzEmail&utm_content=5137
69&utm_campaign=0> Might As Well Be) Wearing A Fanny Pack To Networking
Events

If you are looking for a good way to show a little ignorance. To
demonstrate that you are either really new to networking or are absolutely
unaware of the right things to do. The things to bring. The traits to
exemplify. This post is for you.

Why the fanny pack example? Well, it's just such a great icon from the
past. And, yes, I've owned one. I'll admit it.

And I am here to help. First I'll hit you with the 2 x 4. Then I'll pick
you up and carry you over to a soft and cozy couch. Ready?

So here they are. 5 signs that you might as well be wearing a fanny pack to
networking events:

You hand a business card to everyone you meet. Then ask for one of theirs
and move on.

Networking is not about collecting the most business cards. It is about
relationships. Especially when you have a chance to meet people in person.
To utilize your skills in relational
<http://timsstrategy.com/the-new-must-have-networking-tool-relational-intell
igence/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzEmail&utm_content=513769&ut
m_campaign=0> intelligence. The idea of collecting business cards,
stuffing them in your Rolodex or scanning them into your computer and mass
e-mailing all your new "contacts". It doesn't work that way. Expectations
have changed. And so must you.

You show up at a business casual event with a full business suit . . . and
act like a business person

It used to be that the best dressed got all the attention. And while
looking nice is important, you can throw people off by over-dressing. Just
the way you can by wearing a "members only" jacket and jeans. Too casual or
too formal makes it harder for people to feel comfortable with you. If you
are too formal, people won't want to network with you. They will be nervous
about how a coffee meeting will go.

You get your needs covered first. And, if there's time, you see what others
need

There's a lot of great conversation out there re: pay it forward or selfless
networking. As there should be. It is critical. With so many out of work,
your ability to be seen as a conscious and helpful networker, can make or
break you out there. In fact, to set the tone, consider trying this: take
<http://timsstrategy.com/taking-a-productive-day-off-during-job-search/?utm_
source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzEmail&utm_content=513769&utm_campaign=0
> a productive day off. A day off from focusing on your self.

You bring a 3 page resume with the hopes that you can corner a recruiter or
hiring manager

And if you include an old-fashioned objective, you are taking "fanny pack"
even further. Can you say "leather" fanny pack? Don't take up space on
your resume with a personal objective. But, in terms of the resume, don't
bring it. Instead, bring a one
<http://timsstrategy.com/the-must-have-resume-companion-the-solosheet%E2%84%
A2/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzEmail&utm_content=513769&utm_ca
mpaign=0> page summary and a networking
<http://timsstrategy.com/flashcard%E2%84%A2-introducing-a-new-business-card-
for-networking/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzEmail&utm_content=5
13769&utm_campaign=0> business card. And make sure each includes your
specific job search objectives. So your new friends have tangible
information as to how they can help.

Tell people about how connected you are . . . then don't share those
contacts

It's great how many people you know. And how great that you let everyone
know about those wonderful connections. But the second someone asks for a
connection, you say: "Sorry, I can't. Those are really valuable contacts!"
And so (potentially) was the person who you just pushed away. We all have
contacts we cherish. And some, perhaps, that we are careful to share. But
don't try to look like a "big dog" unless you are willing to let someone in.

So, there you have it. Did you raise your hand on one of those? Be honest.

And if you own a fanny pack, please don't be offended. But it really is a
great item for the next charity garage sale.

Anyone else have a fanny pack example?

Article: The Savvy Networker (Yahoo HotJobs)

Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net   eric_s_nilsson

Mon Jan 18, 2010 7:00 pm (PST)



The Savvy Networker

Liz Ryan, Yahoo! HotJobs

Old-school job-search advice is the worst. We read and hear it everywhere,
yet no one can trace its source. Who made up the rule that we can't use "I"
in a resume, for instance? What's worse is that most traditional job-seeking
advice doesn't work.

Here are my top 10 most useless job-search rules to break as soon as you get
a chance:

1. Never use "I" in your resume.

We've been taught to write a resume like a stiff government document. No one
wants to read something like that. "I" is a perfectly wonderful word to use
when you're talking about yourself. An HR person who writes in his resume
summary, "I'm passionate about helping employees succeed on the job" is
stepping out of the formal protocol to tell an employer, "Here's what kind
of HR person I am." That's a big plus, not a minus.

2. Never make it obvious (on LinkedIn, for instance) that you're
job-seeking.

Poppycock! If you don't include something in your LinkedIn "headline" (the
line just under your name) to tell employers and others that you're looking,
they'll assume you're employed and they won't reach out to you. A headline
like "Start-up Marketing Manager Seeking Next Challenge" gives people a
reason to contact you if they've got a job opening. That's free marketing
for you. Grab it!

3. Your cover letter should be conversational, while your resume should be
formal.

Who says it has to be this way? Lots of hiring managers skip the cover
letter entirely. Your resume has to make it clear what you're about, so it
has to brim with as much of the brand You as it possibly can. Ditch the
"results-oriented professional" for weightier bullets like, "I got our X-25
product out the door six months early to add $10M in quarterly sales." Write
a conversational resume summary statement that's free of boring boilerplate
like "strong work ethic."

If you're not stuffy yourself, why portray yourself that way in your resume
<http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/resume> ?

4. If you can reach an HR person inside the company, you're ahead of the
game.

I wish this were true, but as a 20-year HR leader I must tell you that most
HR people are not focused on screening people in -- their role is to screen
job-seekers out. You're better off forgetting about HR and finding the
hiring manager in the company, either through your network, your LinkedIn
connections, or by researching this person and contacting him or her
directly.

5. When you're asked for salary requirements, quote the lowest number you
can.

Here is more horrible advice that will get you a low-ball job offer, if you
get one at all. When you're asked for a salary requirement, give a realistic
figure that takes into account what other companies are paying people (right
now, not three years ago) with your skills. If you don't have that
information, use Payscale.com and Glassdoor.com to get a bead on it.

6. In a job interview, talk as much of the time as you can.

Here's why you don't want to do this. When you're talking, you're not
learning. Your goal on a job <http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/interview> interview
is to learn as much as possible about the business pain behind the job ad.
The more you learn, the smarter and more targeted your interview responses
can be. When you have a chance to ask the interviewer a question, take it!

7. On a job interview, make sure the interviewer knows you're perfect for
the job.

You won't know what "perfect for the job" means to a job interviewer unless
you ask thoughtful questions and get the interviewer talking. Saying "I'm
perfect for the job" is pointless until you understand what problem this new
hire is intended to solve. Save the self-praise ("I'm smart and strategic")
and use your interview airtime minutes sharing concrete, relevant stories
about your accomplishments instead.

8. Ask the interviewer, "Can I have the job?"

This is an old-school sales closing technique that typically doesn't work,
but does annoy and even repel job interviewers who have heard this pitch a
few million times before. If you're going after a sales job, this approach
might work, but the rest of you want to leave with a smile and the
confidence that you put your best foot forward. If you're really perfect for
the job, then you'll hear from them. Groveling is beneath you.

9. Wait until the job offer is extended before discussing salary.

Don't do this. If you wait this long, you're likely to get a lowball offer
that will be difficult to change, and you'll have only yourself to blame.
Broach the salary <http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/salary> topic at the second
interview or in the phone call or email that invites you for a second
interview. Make sure you and the employer are in the same ballpark before
people start getting the idea that you'd work for peanuts.

10. Only go after jobs that look perfect for you, on paper.

It is nearly impossible to put down everything important about a job in a
job requisition. You can't get a job unless you go after it. If you have the
background to do a job, apply for it.

A job search <http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/jobs> is a volume affair. The more
interviewing experience you have, the more confident you'll be and the more
contacts you'll accumulate. Now get out there!
