Standing Out with Polyvore - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Standing Out with Polyvore - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Have you heard about Polyvore? It’s a social networking site where people can look for brands and products and create their own collections called sets. Once you’ve created a set, you can share it with your friends and the whole Polyvore community. People can comment on your set, and you can also comment on other people’s sets. Other things you can do in the site include asking questions or advice, and creating and joining groups. What’s unique about the site is the fact that when a picture from a person’s collage or set is clicked, you are immediately directed to the website that carries it. Fashion and other related brands have seen a huge increase in their traffic from Polyvore. But with regards to personal brands, is there a good reason to create an account in Polyvore? Can it really help you with your branding campaign? Of course. Example of a Polyvore page courtesy of Eponabri Showcase you personality and style One of the things you can easily showcase through Polyvore is your personality and style. As you create a collage or a collection of the things you like to show your audience, they can quickly see what matters to you and what you represent. Through the site, you can quickly create a professional and magazine-like spread that you can post on your blog or share through other social networking platforms. The great thing about Polyvore is that creating sets is so simple. If you’re a stylist or fashion designer, for example, you can use Polyvore to create a dazzling portfolio. If you’re a blogger that blogs about showbiz news, then you can also utilize Polyvore to show the celebrity you’re talking about and their current fashion statement. And even if your brand may not be related to fashion or style, Polyvore is still a useful branding tool to help you connect and engage with your audience. How exactly can you stand out using Polyvore? Here are 6 tips: 1.     Be unique With so many accounts and sets created every single day, your own collection of images can easily be lost among the crowd. What can help you stand out is by being unique and showing that off through the collages you create. Show what you love and what inspires you. Don’t just copy other people’s ideas about what to post. Make sure that your sets stand out by showing your unique style and personality. 2.     Be interactive The thing about social media is how it builds relationships among people through connections and interactions. So don’t be an island â€" make sure to comment on other people’s sets, like them, set them as your favorites. By doing this, the person whose collection you commented on will be curious enough to check yours out as well, and it could easily lead to a conversation between the two of you. 3.     Ask questions Asking questions is another excellent way to build your brand and stand out. Of course, it’s important to make sure that your questions are relevant to the discussions going on and to the site itself. It would be weird, for example, to suddenly ask a question about a computer program when the site is all about fashion and style. 4.     Answer questions Another way to utilize the site for your personal branding is to answer questions posted by people. Giving style advice can really help you stand out and position yourself as an expert. It also shows off your personality in a good way. The great thing about answering questions in Polyvore is the fact that you can include products and brands in your answer, which is a great way to help the person visualize what you want to portray. 5.     Create or join groups Join groups that you find relevant to your personal brand and connect with the other members. This can help you build more meaningful relationships with similar people who have the same interests as you. You can also create your own group and invite people whom you think may be interested in joining. 6.     Host contests (virtual gatherings) Its a great way to showcase your interest along with attracting many people who would not only be good connections you could learn from them, too.   Host your own and get your contacts in Polyvore to join. Also, remind your friends to share the contest with others so they can join as well. Make stunning sets to help you promote your contest. It also positions you as a hub, some one in the know, and a person that people want to connect with and enjoy interacting with. Polyvore is all about standing out, creating your own style, and democratizing fashion. It gives every person the ability to create their own unique set so that they can be noticed. So make sure your personal brand stands out in Polyvore.

8 Practical Blogging Tips for Recruiters Who Want Talent and Billers

8 Practical Blogging Tips for Recruiters Who Want Talent and Billers I wrote a blog for recently giving my ten tips for a blog page. I created this list as I was (too often!) coming across recruiter blogs which just didn’t work, either technically, or content-wise. So many recruiters want to be noticed, to attract, to source and having a blog  is a crucial  way to achieve  this. What is the point of creating content and not marketing it? I often see (and am sometimes guilty of) writing content, but not marketing it enough. THE most important goal of writing a blog is to ensure that the blog gets read â€" and to do this you need to ensure that you give the reader a REASON to read the blog.   Few people get out of bed in the morning to read recruitment content, so you need to be clear on: What will they gain from reading it? Where will they be in their headspace? And what will they think of you and your brand?   We work with recruiters and their lovely marketers every day to help them attract attention and talent, and blogging is certainly one area which is pretty crucial.   You may be a marketer who is fed up nagging your teams to write content for you. You may even be a recruiter who’s fed up of being asked to write content… what a mess! 8 Practical Tips for Creating Great Blog Content Title: Do your best to make this catchy and contain keywords. The blog should be about the reader not you, so mention their job titles and key words that attract them. Structure: The structure of your blog will encourage readers to continue reading, so think about headings and breaking up the content (plus Google loves formatted headings). Audience: Think about who you are talking to and aim the content at them â€" AND ensure that you mention their job titles â€" eg. doctors, IT managers, social care workers, accountants, directors, etc… Be sure to empathise with them too â€" this means drawing attention to the fact that you “get” them, you understand their issues and the blog is designed to help them with their problem or at least nod at their role / business goals. Anchor links: How can you keep people on the blog and glued to you (apart from great copy?) Create links to other content on your site.   Bear in mind that external links can also help with SEO â€" ie. you point to a well-recognised web page and your own site gets a big tick from Google and that helps you with your own rankings (your marketer will love you!) Tone: Use your own tone! You don’t need to copy anyone in your business and you don’t need to pretend you are a newsreader and dull it down. Personality (mainstream!) works well online. Quotes: Perhaps you have a lovely quote style on your blog (we do and it works well). Plus we also use Click to Tweet which is a way of encouraging engagement through programming the quote to be tweetable.   You don’t need to quote someone to have a quote, a sound byte will do. Once your blog is live, your job is to get it marketed. Sharing once is not enough â€" have a plan to spread it across your channels, at all times of the day and over the weekend. And finally, THE MOST IMPORTANT tip is to get your content seen where your talent / clients are most likely to read it, and sorry, but that may not be on your own website. Whose hair can you stroke to get your blog published in places where your community really are?   Do you even know which blogs your community reads? Get cracking and find out. Remember, your goal is to get the content read, actioned and your profile seen by more clients and talent, not simply to tick a box or get your marketing department off of your back.

7 Things You Need to Know About Employee Monitoring

7 Things You Need to Know About Employee Monitoring There are many different reasons why a company would want to start using monitoring software to track their employees’ habits and activities. Perhaps you want to improve productivity by limiting distractions, maybe you want to beef up security, or you just want to see where your company’s time and resources are going. Regardless of your reasons, there are a few things you need to know before you start monitoring your employees in order to make sure you implement it right and get the most out of it. 1. Limit distractions One of the biggest benefits of employee monitoring is the capability of increasing worker productivity by limiting potential distractions. By using monitoring software, it’s possible to detect when employees are wasting time on activities that aren’t related to work and see how long they spend on these distractions. From there, you can either block access to these distractions or otherwise guide your employees to not partake in these interruptions in their work. It might be surprising to find out just how often employees use their work time to do things like watch funny cat videos or access their personal email. 2. Discover problem areas Since employee monitoring software allows you to keep track of how long employees spend on certain tasks, it’s possible to figure out what they’re having the most issues with and then provide them with some guidance in these areas. Perhaps they need some help figuring out a problem, or maybe they’re just better suited for a different task completely. Employee monitoring helps you find these problem areas and diagnose them in order to help your employees be more productive. 3. Reallocate resources By keeping track of where time and resources are being spent through monitoring software, it’s possible to figure out where resources could be better allocated and what tasks could be lowered in priority. For example, you might find out that your employees have been spending all their efforts on an assignment that isn’t as important as a different task that they could be working on instead. 4. Detect hackers One of the shining advantages of employee monitoring software is in the realm of cybersecurity. By monitoring user behavior, it’s possible to tell when a user’s account has been compromised by an outside attacker. For example, an employee may start accessing sensitive information from their account in the dead of night when they’d normally be at home sleeping. This might be a sign that their account has been compromised and is worth investigating. By using monitoring software to track user input on their work devices, it’s also possible to tell if their device has been infected with a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and is being used remotely by a hacker as you will detect user input even when no one is present at the device. 5. Prevent unauthorized access Another way that employee monitoring can help tighten up security is by keeping an eye on who accesses what. Whether it’s done maliciously or by accident, employee monitoring software is able to help alert you when a user accesses data that they’re not supposed to, so you can investigate it and find out if it was done with malicious intent or not. Through this, you can help safeguard your sensitive data against insider threats such as an employee who has gone rogue. 6. Explain the benefits to your employees A really important thing to know before implementing employee monitoring is to explain it to your employees beforehand. Many employees are generally wary of monitoring software and so explaining to them the benefits and what goals you hope to achieve with it will make the process significantly smoother. If an employee has a better idea of how things like monitoring software can help benefit both themselves and the company as a whole, then they are more likely to warm up to the idea of being monitored while they work. 7. Adhere to the law Obviously, when implementing employee monitoring, it’s important to make sure you don’t break any laws while doing it. Although laws differ depending on country and state, the general rule of thumb is that you should never monitor employees’ personal devices unless they have given you permission in writing. Likewise, it’s often against the law to monitor employees outside of working hours. While you should always look up the laws in your local jurisdiction, if you want to play it safe then you should not only inform your employees that you will be monitoring them, but you should also get written consent from them to do so. This will generally give you the legal right to monitor them in most cases. But, again, there will be different laws regarding this depending on your locality, so you should always look into these laws before implementing any form of employee monitoring.

The Recruitment Consultant - Friend or Foe - Jane Jackson Career

The Recruitment Consultant - Friend or Foe - Jane Jackson Career THE RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT â€" FRIEND OR FOE?Working with recruiters can be frustrating if you are a job seeker and don’t know the best way to approach them. It’s time consuming to research and find the right recruitment consultants to work with, deciding on the best way to sell yourself, remembering everything you’ve ever done in your career, perhaps explaining a bad situation, why you left or why you are thinking of leaving your current role.   Should you write a thank you note or email, and if so, how to write one that hits the right points?To make life a little easier, here are a few tips to help you along your way. How do they look at the whole process, what they really think when you ask for interviews only between 6-7pm and what you can do to make your partnership successful.How to choose a recruiter to suit your needsHere’s where you must do some research.   Not all recruitment firms handle all types of roles.   Some specialize in ‘C’ level roles (the Head Hunters ) and will only work with you if you are currently, or most recently, have been at a certain salary level.   Some handle interim management roles.   Some handle part-time or contract roles.   Some specialise in marketing and sales roles, some only handle specific industries.    An easy way to find a recruiter who currently handles roles that may suit you is to do a job search through an internet job board (www.seek.com.au, www.monster.com, www.jobs.dbm.com, www.sixfigures.com.au, www.efinancialcareers.com, the job search section of www.linkedin.com ) with the job title you have in mind.   You will find that many job advertisements are posted by recruitment consultants.   If the ads mention a consultant name and provide a phone number or email address at the end, that makes your research easier.    Even if the role is not one to which you would like to apply, it means that at least that recruiter works within your area and might be interested in your skills and experience.   If no contact name is given, call the consultancy and ask who handles those types of roles.   Don’t be disappointed if you are told to simply email your resume to get on to their database.   That will probably happen a lot.   There may, however, be the chance that you are lucky and are connected to a consultant who is interested in what you have to offer.   Building the relationship from then onwards is up to you.Taking the Screening CallWhen you have successfully registered with a recruiter or a number of recruiters, you are in the game and you never know when you will contacted for a screening interview.     The first rule of thumb is to avoid answering your mobile phone unless you are in the perfect position to talk.  If you are still at work, obviously it wouldn’t be wise to speak to a recruitment consultant if your boss is within earshot â€" you won’t feel comfortable and neither the recruiter nor your boss will be impressed either!Take advantage of caller ID and let calls go to voice mail. Only return calls to recruiters when you are in a position to speak freely.  Don’t go to a busy café to return the call the background noise will be a distraction.  Call from your car (not while driving!) or find another quiet place to return the call.  You don’t have to call back within the next five minutes, getting back to the recruiter by the end of the business day is perfectly acceptable.Scheduling Interview TimesGive the recruiter blocks of time when you will be available to interview. The recruiter’s job is to move the process along.  You, as the candidate, must give the recruiter windows of time that works for you to schedule these meetings.  If you can offer consistent blocks of available time from week to week, it makes their job easier.  What about early morning or late evening timeslots if those are the only times you can speak?    Whenever possible recruiters will try their best to work with your availability, whether it’s at 8 a.m. or 6 p.m.What if you are totally free and can interview anytime?  Don’t be too available, work with reasonable and specific blocks of time to give the recruiter some structure.   Don’t claim to be in ‘allâ€"day meetings’ constantly, recruiters want potential employees to be lowâ€"maintenance.  Scheduling multiple managers and candidates can be difficult enough without having to battle with the unavailable job seeker.Be realistic and respectful of employers’ and recruiters’ time.  Knowing the demand level for your particular skill set and expertise can also help you. Professionals in midâ€"level positions with widelyâ€"available skills can expect less flexibility, but those coming from seniorâ€"level positions and specialty fields may experience a bit more freedom. Based on that, you can gauge employers’ potential flexibility and willingness to accommodate your needs in the interview process.What is your Value Proposition to the Potential Employer?In order to secure that job, help the recruiter sell you to the employer.   Help him or her build a bestâ€"case scenario for your candidacy.   Articulate why the position is a good fit for you.   Give them a good story about your experience and skill sets, your relevant qualifications, the projects you have managed.Provide tangible results of your past efforts at work whenever possible. Give examples of positive performance, quotas, numbers, and results.    Be prepared to discuss your resume in a succinct, concise manner.Think about the Problems or Situations you have encountered at work, the specific Actions you took (as an individual or as part of a team effort) and then the quantifiable Results of your Actions.   Be ready to discuss them to back up your claims of competence for any role to which you apply.How Open should you be regarding Personal Issues in the interview?Don’t delve into the nitty-gritty of personal problems that have no bearing on your ability to perform in a role.   Keep the inform ation you present pertinent to the job. Focus on your relevant job skills.   Sometimes, divulging something personal that affects a job requirement is essential. For example, if driving is a requirement of a position and you do not have a drivers’ licence, you need to tell the recruiter upfront.  Don’t waste his or her time.   Stick to the facts, you do not have to explain why you don’t have a licence.Follow Up with a Thank You Note or EmailThis is polite and shows attention to detail.   Thank you notes should be sent within 24 hours of the interview. Remember to collect business cards from each person you meet if possible so you can send individual notes to everyone. Your note does not have to be long â€" just acknowledge your appreciation of their time and point out the skill, talent and experience that make you the ideal candidate for the position. Emails are widely accepted for thank you notes.Remember to follow appropriate grammar rules.  Follow up Thank You notes are n ot text messages.   Make a good impression in every note you send throughout the job search process.  Remember to include your contact details in your signature line.These suggestions can help you along in the interview process.   To be honest, once you are in the running, recruiters and employers actually want you to be right candidate for a job â€" it means they can stop their search (and don’t forget this means commission for the recruiters!)     However you need to do your part to get in front of them and market yourself to show how you are the best person for the role.If you have any interesting stories of your experiences working with recruiters or if you have any additional helpful tips, I’d love to hear them!
