7 Tips for HR to Handle Glassdoor Other Employer Review Sites

7 Tips for HR to Handle Glassdoor Other Employer Review Sites Let’s face it, in today’s world we expect to get loads of information in an expedient manner about whatever decision we are currently facing. Think back to the last time you tried a new restaurant.  Did you use Yelp?  Did you check out their menu and pricing?  I know I did.  When I bought my last pair of skis I spent 3 hours researching online reviews, the company’s website, Youtube videos, etc I demand information for basically any purchasing decision that I make, and I get it!  Marketers know this is essential to moving product and spend endless hours making sure they have the right content in the right places to convert interested parties into customers. How the age of information affects recruiting Ok, so the obvious parallel here is with information around working at our company.  The best employers (or at least who we think are the best employers) have all spent time and resources on this.  Goldman’s career page is chock full of in depth information.  Cisco has a Snapchat handle they post to daily. Generally, companies are using various tools to help build their employer brands and convert interested talent into applicants. The influence of review sites, along with countless studies on trust and candidate behavior tells us that employees hold the most weight when communicating information to customers.  I apologize to marketers, agencies, etc.  We all know a commercial when we see one. Here’s the problem though, employees are busy.  And, they don’t necessarily see why they have to help out in recruiting.  Isn’t that HR’s job? 7 pieces of  advice: Don’t explicitly ask employees to post reviews on review sites.  They don’t want to feel like they are being pressured.  This could backfire big time (we’ve all seen reviews with “my manager asked me to write this” in it â€" yikes!). Do explain the business case around employer branding to your employees. “candidates research us, if we have a strong brand, we’ll get more awesome people like you!”  If people understand the impact they can have and the purpose, they are much more likely to take action. Do look for people who are raising their hands to help out on culture building initiatives, happy hours where you invite local professionals, talks that your hiring managers can give at local meetups, and other ways to build your brand. Do give your employees control over your social accounts.  This seems very scary, but if Cisco can do it, so can you.  This will create authentic content that’s closer to what your target audience is looking for than what you’ll put together (sorry, maybe you’re really creative and I’m being too judgmental). Do reward people.  Don’t say “$10 gift card to whoever writes a review of us!”  But, for people running your social, or participating in your various branding activities, it’s ok to give them a shoutout internally/externally for doing a good job.  Or, go to a nice restaurant for lunch to plan your next meetup. Do make it easy and enjoyable.  No one wants to fill out a 30 question survey.  No one wants to write a 500 word blog post (besides me, apparently).  Make content creation easy and mobile friendly.  Make it fast, and enjoyable (fun questions, not just “tell me about the last meeting you were in.”). Do build your employees personal brands.  Ask a developer about the biggest challenge they overcame, or a sales person about the last negotiation they went through.  This is great content to have on the internet that will help them build their brands. Look beyond review sites I’ve mentioned social media a few times as great places for employee content.  Another is your careers site.  You get a lot of traffic there.  And, it’s trusted to have accurate information about your company.  If you do it in an authentic way, content here can be very powerful.  And, you’ve already got the audience! One last tip Don’t be afraid to go big.  The more in depth content out there, the better your chances of being seen and believed will be.  Three one liner testimonials from a perfectly diverse group doesn’t cut it.  You’re going to get a lot more leverage out of 10 employees each answering 5-7 very specific questions about their jobs. Good luck!

4 Common Resume Personal Branding Mistakes - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

4 Common Resume Personal Branding Mistakes - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career As we discussed in my 7/16/12 column, your resume brands you, whether you like it or not. As TheLadders.com recent eye mapping study so clearly showed us, resume readers make a decision within the first 4 6 seconds if your resume bears further review or if seems like a miss and headed for the discard pile. This is why resume personal branding is so important it influences the first decision recruiters, HR reps, and hiring managers make about you. So one would think that you would do a better job managing your resumes personal brand that readers use to draw critical first impressions. I doubt candidates create poor personal branding on purpose its just that no one ever taught you. And what better place to teach you about your resumes personal brand than the PersonalBrandingBlog? Lets start out by identifying some of the Personal Branding Mistakes that may be on your resume, eliminating you from job consideration even as youre reading this article. 4 Common Personal Branding Mistakes: Unclear exactly what job youre applying for:  Weve been taught to write resume broadly. The logic used to be that by describing the job you want very broadly, you be consider for a broader variety of jobs. That was then, this is now. Today, employers look for exact matches and find them with the help of Applicant Tracking Systems and human pre-screening. If you define the job youre applying for broadly (ex: Marketing Professional), you make the hiring manager (and pre-screeners) guess what job is this candidate applying for? If you cant even clearly communicate the job youre applying for, why would a hiring manager want to consider you when there are many other qualified candidates? You look like a commodity:  You brand yourself as a commodity because youve been taught to brand yourself this way. From your first career training in college (thanks college placement office!), youve been trained to brand yourself as a commodity that looks equivalent to other candidates. Fast forward to today, when trying to follow advice to differentiate yourself you dont know how. Commodity branding has been repeatedly hammered into your head, over and over, so that it feels natural. Branding yourself as a superior candidate feels uncomfortable, because it goes against what youve been taught and whats been reinforced though repetition. Superior branding is opposite many of the tried and true job search rules of thumb that are the basis of most job search methods. Were not talking about brainwashing its worse: this reinforcement is being given by people who mean well, but are still using methods that stopped working in 2007. Branding conflicts:  Most resumes contain branding that conflicts with your goals and even conflicts with the branding support provided by the rest of your resume. Heres how to tell if you have this problem: If you are being called by recruiters for the wrong jobs it happens because your brand and goals conflict. For example, an NYC programmer wrote me sharing frustrations that all he got called for were financial service IT jobs But thats exactly how his resume branded him. Also, if youre not being called for jobs that you feel youre clearly well qualified for (if this has happened numerous times), theres a good chance that your branding conflicts with supporting evidence in your resume or the hiring managers expectations. You go on and on and on :  Your personal brand forms the readers gut feel about you. To be effective, it should be extremely concise, so that the reader can immediately internalize your brand into their gut. Your personal brand is the first impression you want to manage, not selling statements including details about how you leap tall buildings in a single bound. Your reader cant internalize paragraphs they cant even read a paragraph in the 4-6 seconds it takes your reader to form a first impression. So look carefully at your resume What does it say about you in 4 6 seconds? Do you brand yourself as a commodity? Or as the specific solution to the hiring managers priority problems? Is your branding clear (to a stranger) in 4 6 seconds, or is it confusing, conflicting, with your branding message hidden somewhere within a paragraph of sales pitch?

An Expert Guide to Personal Branding for Business

An Expert Guide to Personal Branding for Business Personal branding. What exactly does it  mean and how can individuals  and the organisations they represent benefit from it? Lets take a closer look! Ive had a chat with personal brand expert Jennifer Holloway, who specialises in getting people to blow their own trumpet Read on for  her pro tips on how  to  strike the perfect  balance between business and personal branding. How would you define the  following Personal brand:  Personal brand, as I said before, that is an individuals what and who they are selling wrapped up in one brand. Professional brand:  Now, professional brand, to me, is purely that personal brand in a professional space. So its the same thing but maybe with a bit more emphasis on the, What are you delivering in a corporate world? Personality brand:  A personality brand, for me, is wherethis is a bit moreit could also tie in with a celebrity brand where someone is very much putting their personality out there. I mean, it tends to be used with companies, so something like innocent drinks  is a personality brand. Technically, its a product, but it has a personality to it. And I think celebrities, in some ways, do the same thing inasmuch as. Technically, Im a celebrity, but Im treating myself as a product. So I think the two sort of interchange. Thought leader:  This, to me, is someone who is getting themselves out there as a go-to person for a particular subject. So they are really saying that this thing, that is what Im pinning myself out there as.  I would consider myself a thought leader, a thought leader in the personal brand space. Someone might be a thought leader in the risk analysis space, someone might be a thought leader in the online marketing space. So the thought leaders, though, are the people who are trying to get themselves out there as, Im someone who should be listened to because Ive got opinions and ideas about this particular sector. Influencer:  Possibly going hand-in-hand with the thought leader, the influencer is someone who has a created a brand as, Im someone to listen to, and often, going back to the thought leader, in a certain space. Image:  Image, for me, is think of it as the packaging of your own personal brand. Its what youre doing, what youre saying, and how youre looking. And specifically, what clues that is telling people that they can pick up on to decide what sort of brand you have. Celebrity:  The celebrity brands are the people out there who are very much leveraging themselves as, Im more than just a person. The Kardashians are probably the biggest celebrity brand out there at the moment. They can just put their name to something and purely because of that, that is worth money. And theyre very good at keeping their profile out there and feeding the media with information about them and their brand to keep people interested. Do people have an issue with the term personal brand? Yes, I got a lot of, I dont want to become a brand. I want to be me. And I have the great joy of saying, But thats the whole point. Its to be you but to be you in a very clear way, a very concise way, and be all the best. Lets have the real focus on those. So what I tend to say to people is think of a personal brand as when you are out there, for people to buy you. So, People buy people, is a phrase thats often used, and what theyre buying is a personal brand. So it does two things, it has to tell people what youre offering, and that might be what knowledge you have, what experience youve got, what results youve delivered. But they also want to know who is bringing that, What, to the table. So who are you? What are your values? What motivates you? Whats your personality like? And what personal brand does is it brings those two things together in one nice, clear package that people can easily understand and therefore decide if they want to buy. Why is personal branding beneficial to organisations? A  lot of organisations sort of shy away from letting our staff have their own brands, be individuals. And I think its a rather short-sighted because, actually, if you can allow your staff to have a brand, to get known in the market, to have connections, have networks that they can really work, thats going to enable them to do their job easier. If a problem comes up or they need an answer to something, having got themselves out there, raised their profile, make this network, theyre much more resourceful than they might be if they just have to sit at their desk and nobody knows who they are. Could  strong personal brands be dangerous for companies? Well, if someone is out for themselves, they are out for themselves. Organisations can sometimes be scared of people with strong brands, thinking, We dont want anyone to really stand out. We dont want anyone to have their own personality. In fact, actually, years ago, someone said to me about one of the main consulting companies, I wont name them, but they worked over there for over 20 years and they said, You are not allowed to be individual. You have to be a clone that represents that organisation in the outside world. What are the steps to implementing personal branding? The first step is defining the brand because getting that clarity, really understanding in-depth the who and the what that you are putting in the package needs to be the first part. So that is very important. Ive actually had the feedback from people, saying, Wow, they came out with a lot more confidence. So just understanding yourself is quite a nice thing. The second thing I do is I get people to check their brand, by which I mean to get some feedback and find out if how they have perceived themselves in step one is how other people are seeing them. And I find this can be a real wake up and smell the coffee moment, particularly when I work with people one-to-one and that rapport is very in-depth. Often, where organisations have benefited is maybe theyve had someone who hasnt realised the negative impact theyve been creating, and the real payback for the company is that person is suddenly gone, Oh, okay. Now I see it, which is very important. On the whole, though, people actually get complete confidence based from the feedback because people are reiterating, Yes, what you think is good is what we think is good. And then the third step is always then how do people promote their brands. Now, depending on what my clients are telling me about the audience in front of me, that will be tailored to maybe at graduate level, the real basics of how you look, things like timekeeping, things like the language in your emails. At the talent level, its a bit more about getting out there as leaders, getting more buy-in. And then at an executive level, its very much understanding impact, how they come over, and how to improve that. What are some of the pitfall to avoid with personal branding? I think the misunderstanding in some people, whether its individuals or organisations, is, Oh, I dont have a brand. Ill choose whether Im going to have a brand. The point is you already have one. The famous Jeff Bezos, the guy that founded Amazon, has this quote, Your brands what your people say about you when youre not in the room. Now, whether youve chosen to or not, everybody will have a thought that they will say when youre not in the room. And even in the outside business community, it tends not to be companies as a whole that are being talked about, it is individuals within the company. So years ago, Burson-Marsteller is a research agency, and they did a study internationally, and they came up with a statistic that said, Fifty percent of a companys reputation is directly linked to the CEOs reputation. So you could have the best service or the best product going, but if people out there think the person in the top office is a complete idiot, that will have an impact on your brand. And conversely, if they think theyve got a really great reputation, that will have an impact on your brand. What social media channels are most important to personal branding? I would say it very much depends on who your audience is. It may know if you are in business and your audience is in business, the number one place you should be is LinkedIn. Now, years ago, LinkedIn was only ever seen as, Oh, Jennifer, you only go on that if you want to find a job. I do think that was true then. It was started by recruiters with recruitment in mind. Nowadays, though, Im going to quote someone who even said to me, Jennifer, if I go looking for someone on LinkedIn and theyre not there, I just presume they dont exist. Now, thats quite a flicking comment, but I think theres a grain of truth in it which is, at the very least, people in business expect, from a credibility point of view, to be able to find you online. And LinkedIn is where they expect to find you. And even from a Google results point of view, having a profile will get you in the results. Twitter, I think, can also be quite good. Again, have a reason for doing it. I have so many people say to me, Oh, I should do Twitter. Really? Why do you want to do it? Well, I just feel I should. Well, dont do it for that reason. Do it for a specific reason. So I do Twitter as a way of promoting my blogs and watching what people contacts I want to keep in touch, what theyre talking about, and also conversing via Twitter. So Ive got a reason for doing it. But I dont do Facebook because, for me, from a business point of view, thats not where my clients and customers are. But if you are more a business-to-consumer, then Facebook is where you should be, and LinkedIn probably isnt. I think those are the main three, though, that people would expect to look for someone and find them. Is there a way to measure the ROI of a personal brand? I dont believe theres a blatantly obvious way of measuring ROI unless you have a very specific measurable goal at the start of the work youre doing. So when I work with people, lets say If I use an example of maybe an executive Ive been asked to work with, and something I get quite often is, Jennifer, this guy needs more gravitas. We want you to work with him. Now, how am I going to measure an increase in gravitas? Thats very difficult to do. But if you could at least pin down, Hes got to get more buy-in in these meetings, or, Hes going be able to deliver this particular project, or whatever it is, less about ROI in terms of money, but just more in terms of, Do we feel that the money spent has given us results at a very straightforward yes or no level?

Understanding the New Pension Rules - and Making Them Work for You

Understanding the New Pension Rules - and Making Them Work for You Every so often when you just think that you have your retirement sorted, you’re given a curve-ball â€" something that unsettles your planning and gives you something else to think about and yet more decisions to make. That curve-ball has just been arrived in the world of retirement savings with new legislation allowing you to have more control over your money. But with more control comes more responsibility to make sure that your hard-saved retirement fund works well for you. So what do the new pension rules look like, and what options do you have available? Taking a lump sum You’re now allowed to take your retirement fund in a lump sum. There are a number of benefits to this â€" you could pay off your home, buy a new car or go on that long-awaited world cruise. However you also need to consider what taking this lump sum will mean to your finances and the rest of your retirement. By taking your retirement fund out in a lump sum, you’re actually liable for tax. The first 25% is usually tax-free but the remainder is not. So imagine if you’ve got £100,000 in your retirement fund. You get $25,000 of this tax free but the remaining £75,000 could then be subject to 40% tax*. This means that you could actually pay over £21,000 in income tax. Suddenly taking your retirement fund in a lump sum doesn’t look as promising, especially for those with a lot more than £100,000. Taking it in small bits Another option is to take your retirement fund out in smaller lumps. This is known as drawdown and allows you to spread your drawings over a greater period of time. With clever planning, savvy individuals will only drawdown enough to stay below the 40% tax threshold. However one of the draw-backs to this is that you don’t get the 25% tax free lump sum so in one go, but in dribs and drabs instead. This makes it much more difficult to splash out on those exciting holidays and other expenses that you’ve been looking forward to in retirement. Putting it into an annuity There is, however a third option for your retirement fund. You can choose to give your money to an insurance company and receive it as an annuity.   With an annuity you receive a regular income, paid yearly until the day you die. In our example of $100,00, this means that you take the £25,000 tax free lump sum and then swap the remaining £75,000 for a basic ‘single life’ annuity. The income effectively dies the day you do but in the meantime, you receive a regular fixed income. Planning early for retirement is a must but planning what to do with your retirement fund after you retirement is vital too, enabling you to live the life you want on the money you have. There are plenty of independent tools you can use to take some more control over your individual situation, such as the retirement planning checklists from the Money Advice Service, and calculators and pension coaching available from Retiready. You’ll also want to ensure you stay up to date on how the government rules and regulations could affect you over the next few years and on into your (hopefully fruitful) retirement.   *These figures represent a hypothetical situation. Actual retirement savings and tax rates are subject to your financial service provider contracts and UK law. Image credit. 0

Do You Suffer from Make Stuff Up Disorder - Career Pivot

Do You Suffer from Make Stuff Up Disorder - Career Pivot Do You Make Stuff Up? Copyright: innovatedcaptures / 123RF Stock Photo I’ve had threemeetings in the last week where clients just believed the things they made up in their brains. Some of them fantasized about the future, while others caused themselves stress because they imagined all of the worst things that could possibly happen based on stuff they made up. Do you make stuff up in your head? I have coined the phrase “MSU Disorder” or Make Stuff Up Disorder. (Note: You could replace the word “stuff” with a four-letter expletive.) Fantasy Companies and Positions I met with a client who told me his dream job was to write for a specific magazine. I asked him, “Do you know anyone who has actually worked there?” He responded, “No.” I said, “How the heck (another four-letter expletive can be replaced here) do you know what it is like to work there?” He responded, “Well I really don’t.” Listen to the most recent episode He thought that, just because he loved to read the magazine, it would be great to work there. Have you done this? If you say no, well I might not believe you. Predicting the Worst Susan started a new job with a major drug company 5 months ago. Susan has knocked the ball out of the park! She has done an incredible job. Early this week, it was announced that the organization where she worked (150-200 people) would have a 30% headcount reduction, and those affected would be toldthe next day. Susan immediately went into panic mode. She fretted much of the next day. The next day, her boss told her that, not only would she still have her job, but she was to lead a highly prized project. Remember I told you that she hadhit the ball out of the parkfor the last 5 months. She ignored every sign that she was highly valued, even though there were a lot of signs. She just made stuff up in her head when she heard about the layoffs, which caused an enormous amount of stress. Anytime you hear about layoffs in your organization, it will cause anxiety and stress, but Susan blew it way out of proportion. Have you done this? Meeting with the Boss Sally has a regular meeting with her boss. Sally would bring in a listof her activities into the meeting. Her boss would critique her list of activities at every meeting, often in an abusive manner. Why did Sally bring the list into the meeting? She had always done this with previous bosses. Sally told me that she was not going to bring the list into the meeting. Sally predicted that her boss would criticize her for not having the list. This caused her to stress the entire next day. What happened? NOTHING! Her boss just took notes. Sally’s boss had never asked for her to bring any type of documentation to the meeting. Sally made up the entire story in her head. She just made stuff up! Have You Made Stuff Up? If you say no, I will not believe you. We allmake stuff up! I have caused myself more stress because of Make Stuff Up Disorder. I’ve predicted the worst or fantasized how things would be based on stuff I imagined. In Judith Glaser’s book, Conversational Intelligence: How Great Leaders Build Trust Get Extraordinary Results, she discusses that the stories we make up have a great impact on our career. With both Susan and Sally, I had them review the stuff they made up and compare it to what really happened. They then made a “mental bookmark.” The purpose of making a mental bookmark is to allow them to go back to these situations as an example to draw from when they start to make up stuff again. When we realize that we make up stuff in our heads, it helps us to stay in the moment. Staying in the moment helps us reduce anxiety in difficult times. Do you suffer from Make Stuff Up disorder?

From College To Career Ladder A Practical Plan For Following Your Dreams

From College To Career Ladder A Practical Plan For Following Your Dreams Whether you’re going through school or you’re already out in the working world, you may be at the point where you’re starting to think about what you want to do with your life. Maybe you started out on a job path because you weren’t overly sure what you wanted to do. Or you’re in school and you’re already getting questions about what you should do about your future? Then it’s time to work out what you want to do, and how you’re going to get there. But you need to be practical about it. Trying to work out what you want to do with your career can sometimes be really hard. But the best way to work everything out, is to make sure that you’re thinking as logically as possible, and leaving some of your emotions out. And to do that, you need to have a plan. Now, the good news is, whether you are starting out fresh or you’re looking to do a career change, you can largely follow the same path. Because when it comes to career planning, a plan is a plan. As long as you know what you want, or where you’re heading, most of the steps that you take can be quite similar. Just make sure that you have your head in the right mindset and you’ll be able to make this happen. Let’s get started on your practical path to finally creating the career of your dreams. Think About The Life You Want So the very first thing you need to do here, is to really think about what you want out of life. A lot of the time, when you envision your ideal life and how you want your future to look, you can see the kind of job that you want. Maybe it won’t be the exact one, but you can picture whether it’s in a city office or working outside. And this can then help you to start to narrow things down. Contemplate Your Strengths Passions The next thing, is to think about two kinds of things. The first, is the things that you’re good at in life or in school, and then you have the things that you love to do and your passions in life. By considering the things that you know you can do well or that you love, again you can start to pinpoint careers that either cover those topics or where you can utilize those skills. Research Into Different Options Now that you’ve got a couple of things going around in your mind, it’s time to do some research. Because you have a couple of different avenues that you might like to explore, but now you need to know exactly what kinds of career paths are available. By looking at your different options, you can come up with a shortlist of careers, and then hopefully one that stands out to you as exactly what you want. Pick The Right Courses Now that you have chosen your career path or you roughly know what area or industry you want to be in, it’s time to pick your college courses. Again, do your research here. You may be able to find specific programs or scholarships, like the Nursing School Gift Program, that will get you closer to your goal. But, you can still take general courses if you are in college, that will help you to get towards the career path you want. Consider Grad School And you may want to ask yourself whether grad school is for you? This can be a great option if you already have your bachelor’s and you know you can take a master’s that is either related or that can help you to get the career path you want. Network The next thing you’re going to want to do, is to start networking in college and with professionals in your field. Because if you want to start getting some experience, enquire about job openings, or just get to know people in your future industry, this is so essential. You never know what can come of the connections you start to make. Start A Blog It can also be a great idea to start a blog. If you really want to be able to demonstrate your experience and showcase your skills, a blog can do that especially if you want to go into media. However, you can write about anything, and this may still be a really strong platform to support your job application process. Get An Internship Now, you may want to get yourself an internship, if you can. This is often important for you to break your way into competitive industries. So much so that the internship can be competitive to get too! But, this may give you some experience and help you to make contacts so that you can walk into a permanent job when you want to. Prepare Yourself Then, as it comes to the point where you want to be able to start applying for jobs, you need to prepare yourself. This can be somewhat similar to the process of getting yourself an internship but it can also feel more intense. You need to get a portfolio of work together, if it applies, you need to demonstrate your skills in your resume, and feel ready for interviews. Here, maybe even an interview prep tutor could be beneficial to you here. Follow A Plan Finally, you need to draw yourself up a career development plan. You can either do this before you get your first job in the career you want, or when you have it. Either way, this is a very detailed and practical plan that allows you to work out what roles you want to progress through, how you’re going to get promoted, and what you need to do to climb the ladder. This can often be the key to helping you ensure you get to where you want to be.
