Sign the Petition to Congress! Renew Federal Unemployment Insurance

Subject: Sign the Petition to Congress! Renew Federal Unemployment Insurance Now
To: "Robert Hopson" <robert_hopson@yahoo.com >
Date: Tuesday, October 25, 2011, 9:27 AM
Dear Robert,
What if Congress fails to renew the federal unemployment insurance program before it expires December 31st?
Immediately, nearly 2 million unemployed Americans would be cut off from that emergency lifeline in the month of January alone. Millions more would be cut off in subsequent months â€" more than 6 million during 2012. If Congress fails to act, it will have devastating consequences not only for millions of Americans and their families, but for our fragile economy and struggling communities across the country.
We can’t let that happen.
Sign the Petition to Congress. Tell them to renew federal unemployment insurance through 2012 now!
Right now, of the 14 million Americans who are unemployed, 46 percent -- more than 6 million -- have been jobless and looking for work for six months or longer. That percentage of long-term unemployed has been 40 percent or higher for nearly two full years. The average duration of unemployment has been more than six months for over two years, and the average job search for an unemployed worker now lasts more than 9 months. Today, the unemployment rate stands at 9.1 percent and has been above 8.5 percent for more than 31 months.
Congress has never cut back on federally-funded unemployment insurance when unemployment was anywhere near this high for this long.
Sign the Petition to Congress. Tell them to renew federal unemployment insurance through 2012 now!
It would be unthinkable for Congress to cut off this vital lifeline for so many hardworking Americans who are struggling to find work when jobs are so scarce.
Congress must act now to renew federal unemployment insurance through 2012, and take additional steps to help avert layoffs, create good jobs, end discriminatory job market practices that exclude the unemployed, and get real help to long-term unemployed workers including those who have exhausted unemployment benefits.
Failure to act is just not an option.
Sign the Petition to Congress. Tell them to renew federal unemployment insurance through 2012 now!
Tell the Leaders and Members of Congress from both parties to put partisanship aside and make the right choice for America’s families and our economy: Renew Unemployment Insurance Now!
Many thanks. And please share the Petition widely!

Are You Dropping The Ball?
Become An Influential Leader
November Events
Dear Career Tips (Need A Powerful Pitch)
Dear Robert,
I recently received a note from someone commenting on the lack of outreach by job seekers, after he had volunteered his help. I forwarded the note to a few colleagues who I would have considered savvy networkers, and was surprised that one of them responded that he also probably wouldn't have taken advantage of the invitation. This led to my lead article below.
A colleague and I recently created a powerful series of weekly pieces on skills to enhance your leadership abilities. This dovetails with our joint venture, Leadership Growth Strategies (www.LeadershipGrowthStrategies. com). If you would like to receive the (free) series, you can sign up at www.JHACareers. com/InfluentialL eadershipSignup. htm.
Finally, I love to give advice. Write to me about your biggest frustrations with your Career Search, or the greatest roadblocks to your Career Growth, at Advice@JHACareers.com .
~~~~~~~~~~
Are You Dropping The Ball?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
Some colleagues and I run a Career Networking Group that meets twice a month to provide expert help to people in transition, and those seeking to better their careers. Recently I ran a 'speed networking' event there to help everyone expand their networks. One of our 'graduates' wrote this to me a few weeks later:
"I knew a few of the attendees from previous meetings, but I also met seven new jobseekers. I explained to each one that I was out of work for over two years before landing my current full time permanent position last year. I gave my business card to each of the new jobseekers. It has now been over three weeks and not one of them has contacted me. I realize that the individual jobseekers I met were not looking for an accounting job, but as you and I know it is their network that most likely will help them find their next job. The fact that they go to a meeting is great, but the follow-up is just as or even more important."
My first reaction was, "What a shame that they dropped the ball that way," and I forwarded the comment on to a few people whose insights I respect.
To my surprise, one responded with this reaction (lightly edited for inclusion here):
"In all honesty, I am not sure if I would have followed up either. Generally, I don't LinkIn with people on just a first meeting. It takes me at least a second or even a third meeting for me to get to know someone well enough to feel that I can LinkIn with them."
"I learned too late that networking isn't just going to group events and that it is all about the one-on-one follow up. The best analogy I've heard is that, if you want to go out on dates, going to single bars and just standing along the wall or even getting phone numbers and not following up is n
ot 'dating.' In relationship management, we have words to distinguish between going to a singles bar and going out on a date. In networking, we have the one word which describes both actions and is misleading. 'Going to a networking event is not networking.' Huh?"
Editor's note - he took that last statement from one of my presentations. Drop me a note if you want to know more.
He went on as follows:
"One of the missing pieces in most people's arsenal regarding networking is the 'Marketing Plan' with at least 20 companies on it. Most people say that they have a marketing plan but they don't. Ask people to bring their marketing plans to the next meeting and see how few you get and how bad quality they are. A marketing plan takes a lot of work that most people don't do."
"Once you have a robust marketing plan, then you know your target and you can start listening for people who may have worked for those companies in the past or are at least in your industry. Spending more time with a CPA wouldn't be my best use of my time, although I can acknowledge that a CPA has many small clients and knows a lot of people. For me, I want to spend my precious time with Benefits brokers and employment attorneys who have direct contact with the kinds of people with whom I am looking to connect. A CPA would be indirect."
"Bottom line, people don't really know what Networking means even though all of them at your meeting feel very good about themselves from attending a CNG meeting, yet they are missing the boat."
I think he is spot on in everything EXCEPT the agreement about not bothering to take advantage of someone's offer for help. Here was what I wrote back:
"I guess I would have looked at it a bit differently. If I'm a job seeker, and someone who is employed volunteers to help me in my search and gives me their card, I would look at that as a warm contact I can't afford not to follow up on. It would be different if they are, say, a financial planner clearly looking to build their portfolio of clients, but if it's a genuine offer to help, then I am going to want to take advantage of it."
"And even if I don't see that I'm going to have the time / energy to do that, because I'm not sure if it will be helpful, then I would at least drop them an email, perhaps thanking them for their offer, and saying I look forward to seeing them at a future event. That will help the relationship blossom over the next few events to where I might get to know that person well enough to want to take them up on it, or to determine that there isn't a basis for a relationship."
"On the other hand, if I see that person at the next event, and I did nothing after they offered their help, what will they think? That it's not worthwhile making any further attempt to build any relationship with me at the meetings, or to offer any further help. It's going to be very difficult to ever nourish that possible relationship if I ignore it from the getgo."
I think this may be one of the real sticking points holding people back in their networking efforts.
Of course I am going to prioritize my networking efforts, trying to spend more of my time focusing on events and connections that seem most directly connected to my target. But that doesn't mean I'm going to ignore other connections that arise along the way. And I'm going to be especially interested in any 'warm' connections, even if I can't see a direct way that connection is going to help.
I never know where a particular connection may lead until I've invested a bit of time in getting to know that person, in them getting to know me and my target as well. Often, I am surprised at where that connection will lead - and that surprise factor alone means that screening out connections too soon is going to cause me to miss many fruitful opportunities.
So, what do you think?
Drop me a note at Advice@JHACareers.com , and let's create a dialogue on this. I'll include responses (anonymously, unless you tell me you want attribution) in the next issue.
If your networking efforts aren't leading where you want, I can help. Take my Career Search Accelerator assessment at: www.TinyURL.com/CareerSearch 2011.
I'll schedule a 20-30 minute call to talk through your goals and challenges, and explore if there is a fit for us to work together on making sure your network leads you to that 6 figure job you deserve!

Dear Career Tips (Need A Powerful Pitch) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
I read an article you wrote about the 30 second pitch and decided it was high time I wrote my own. Would you mind reading it over and giving me your input?
"John Doe. Corporate instructional designer. I create learning solutions utilizing 30 years of knowledge of and experience in pedagogy and several visual media, to enhance growth and knowledge acquisition of the workforce at medium- to large-sized corporations. John Doe."
Dear Pitching:
Think more about the results you bring to the table, or the problems you can solve, for your target employer / customer. You can give them more details about WHAT you do and HOW you do it once you get their interest, and they want to talk one-on-one.
This part is all about you, and not them: "I create learning solutions utilizing 30 years of knowledge of and experience in pedagogy and several visual media."
Remember, the pitch isn't about providing lots of information, it's about getting the listener engaged, and leaving them wanting to know more.
What result do you bring to the table or problem do you solve because of that 30 years of knowledge? What does a 'learning solution' do for your target employer / customer?
"to enhance growth and knowledge acquisition" isn't a very strong result - what does the 'enhanced knowledge acquisition' accomplish for them - what does it position them to do, or what problem does it solve for them?
And what do you mean by 'enhance growth'? Sales / Revenues / Market share? I don't think the listener will be likely to see an obvious connection between improved instructional design and any of those.
