Jobs with the Federal Government for Veterans | Job Search Radio

by

On today’s show, I discuss a site that provides information about how to land a job with the US government.

[spp-transcript]

So, you decided to look for a job with the US federal government. Good decision? Bad decision? That’s for another day.

The site where you find out about jobs is usajobs.gov.

FedsHireVets.gov

There is a site called fedshirevets.gov. If you are a veteran looking for work or a family member of the veteran looking for work, this is a site where you can get a lot of great information to help you.

For example, when you follow the tabs . . . There is a calendar of events where government agencies are doing workshops for veterans or their family or hiring veterans. That’s on the homepage of fedshirevets.gov.

You click along and there’s information for job seekers. Whether you are a family member or a veteran yourself. There is information about the veterans preferences that exist because there are veterans preferences that many agencies have issued since Pres. Obama took office.

There is a list of agencies that exist. There are different types of presentations. There are success stories because, probably it’s it’s not going to be a linear path to you being hired. After all, believe it or not, the government doesn’t hire everyone who wants to work for them!

A shock!

However, the actual site for applying is USA jobs.gov; that’s going to have the list of different sites for the different agencies.

I also want to point out there is a different type of resume needed for a job with the government than with the private sector. I did an interview with someone for the show who is a resume writer for people who work for the federal government.

At the end of the day, is important for you to take advantage of information that is available to you and not going like a rank amateur. You know, thrashing around, learning as you go along in ways that could cost you opportunities that you could have gotten.

Being a professional doesn’t mean that you don’t make mistakes.. The difference is, you are prepared and you take the time to prepare. You may make mistakes but you are further along the process and had you not taken time to prepare.

Great athletes. Pro teams. They will practice, right? They run plays. They deal with different situations and these folks make millions of dollars. It’s a great lesson. You can take from them in practicing and learning what you need to know in order to get this job.

Do you think employers are trying to help you?

You already know you can’t trust recruiters—they tell as they think you need to know to take the job they after representing so they collect their payday. The skills needed to find a job are different yet complement the skills needed to do a job.

Turn It Up! | No BS Job Search Advice Radio

by

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter shares some of his observations about working with recruiters and applies it to job hunting.

Serious mature businessman on call in front of laptop at desk in a bright office

[spp-transcript]

In my career, I’ve trained a lot of very successful recruiters. I’ve also trained some people who have washed out.  I put my best effort to try to help these people. But, when push comes to shove, ultimately, the onus falls on them to follow through a lot of the coaching that I give. Often, the biggest failure is around effort.

Most people (including job hunters in this) say they want to do a hard days work and they want to put in. Best effort. They want to be successful BUT when you examine what they do, they are not working as hard as they think they are.  That is true of job hunters, too.

How People Find Jobs

For you as a job hunter, statistically, people are finding work in a number of ways.  Consistently, statistics show, the job boards fill between 3% and 4% of all positions.  Recruiters fill an additional 20% to 22%.  I’m going to combine the numbers because some recruiters use job boards to find candidates.  And I will add a little more than that.  So, let’s assume that 30% are filled by job boards and by recruiters.  

70%, though, is filled as a result of networking.  In a recent statistic that I heard, 70% that of those jobs (70% of the 70%) or filled as a result of a network connection to someone that they didn’t know at the beginning of the job search.

Here’s the point.  You are not working as hard as you can to find people to connect with and develop a relationship with in order to become 1 of those people in the 70%.  What you need to be doing is putting in a “Max effort.”  You need to try that much harder, to operate at a much higher capacity than you are now.  I’m not saying to work like a maniac.  You need to have some fun and there, too.  At the end of the day, you need to kick it up some notches. You need to put yourself out there with some people you are not really talking to yet.  You need to track these relationships so that, in this way, you remember your conversations, what your commitments are and follow-up… Stuff flows along those lines… When push comes to shove, you have to kick it up. Some notches.

Again, it’s not who applies to the most jobs on the job board.  You are swimming in the lake with a lot of hooks out when you’re swimming in job boards.  There is a lot of competition with other fish in their for that hook.  You want to be out there swimming in streams and rivers that have hooks out there, but not a lot of fish there. This way, you are able to swim up and be able to connect with the organization.  In addition, you need to be able to come in with a referral from someone you know.

Choices

by

steinberg-newyorkerThe cover of “The New Yorker” above is one of its most famous. It accurately depicts the provincial attitude of New Yorkers who see the world as only they can–New York is the center of the universe and everything else is a barren cultural and food wasteland. Let’s not even get into the politics!

Your view of the world may be from Chicago, Duluth, Los Angeles, Dallas, Toronto, London, a rural town in Pennsylvania… Wherever you see home. Conditioning has suggested to you that making a change is hard. As a result, too many mornings you wake up wondering, “Is this all there is?” You should consider that the 1st signal to pay attention to.

It Isn’t Just Where You Live

To be clear, I’m not simply talking about where you live. What affects people more is often their work. After all, we make decisions about how to spend our work life in our teens and prepare for and work in that career for half of a century.  Do you think it’s possible we might be wrong? Judging by what I hear from people, the answer is often, “Yes.”

And just because you’re older, doesn’t mean you cannot make change.

Using myself as an example, in the summer of 2008, I have the epiphany that I didn’t really like living on Long Island, New York. I had a career that centered on New York, a house and a young son. We sold our house at the top of the real estate market and moved to Northeastern Pennsylvania 2 hours from New York City.  I was able to work remotely most of the time and start to break away from the hypnotic trance that New York City cast upon me. 

We now live in Asheville, North Carolina, I work from home and network with recruiters worldwide. In another month, I make the next transition from headhunting to coaching where I can leverage my academic background, interests, experience and abilities in ways that I choose, not as an employer chooses.

As I coach people now, I listen to many stories of people who are disappointed by life and feel trapped by it. Maybe they are in the job that sucks or living in a mindless routine that leaves them feeling lonely.  They are going through the motions, letting their employers decide too many things… What time to start work, what time to eat lunch, are you allowed to leave at a time where you get home before dark.

Have you ever considered that it can be different?

If not, you have not noticed that the world has changed a lot since you were little, started going to school and given the message to, “Shut up. Do what you’re told. Regurgitate a bunch of stuff we tell you is important. Or else!” You are just doing the adult version of that.

I’m not going to tell you the changes easy. It isn’t.  You will have to work at it and make sacrifices. You may feel masterful what you do now and have to return to being a beginner again. These past few years as I’ve moved into coaching certainly woke me up!

A friend of mine spends half the year in a condo in Puerto Rico. “In case you don’t know this, cellphones work in Puerto Rico and we have fast internet.” Another does work from Columbia. No one ever knows or cares where they are when they do their work.

Technology is now available that can change your life in ways that were impossible to imagine not so long ago. Yes, some of you will feel like pioneers until you discover ex-pat communities abroad or in North Carolina (Very few people in Asheville are from Asheville; they all come here for the ease, the milder winters, lower housing costs, the mountains and tolerance of difference).

I’m coaching someone now who has been screwed over by one employer or another and has decided to start his own business. “I can do this for more than a year and, if it doesn’t work out, I can always go back to corporate.” Sometimes, he’s scared. What a surprise. Then he taps into the old memory that the current one is linked to and remembers that, just because it happened in the past, doesn’t mean it has to happen in his present or future. After all, we tend to worry about a lot of things that never happen.

But as someone else am working with said recently, “I have prostate cancer. I don’t know how much time I have left but I just want to laugh again.”

Has your laughter gone away, too?

Tough Interview Questions: How Do You Handle Office Politics?

by

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter explains how to answer the tricky interview question, “how do you manage office politics?”

 

[spp-transcript]

I want to talk with you today about 1 of those tough interview that are designed to baffle you, make you reveal things that you would prefer not revealing! Ooooooh!

So dramatic!

Today’s question is, “How do you handle office politics?“

Politics in the office usually translates into 2 people have different opinions about how to do something and the other person’s opinion was chosen.  The other way is “credit grabbing.”  Let me address both of these.

The 1st 1 with their 2 different opinions.

“I try not to get involved with office politics, but the fact of the matter is we all compete.  For some people, office politics is that they lost the disagreement over how something should be done. It happens.  My opinions are good, but sometimes, someone else’s are better.  I have an opportunity to learn from what their thought process was and there is nothing to be bothered or troubled about.”  You can then continue by saying, “But, sometimes, office politics can mean someone is credit grabbing   Or trying to take control of the situation, that doesn’t really belong to them.  There, I try to get support from management to sort things through.  After all, we could argue and fight and, what’s the point of that?  Management not as an idea of who they want to handle things. Maybe I didn’t understand my side, but maybe they didn’t understand their site.  So let’s get that sorted out as quickly as possible before the office starts taking sides, before really becomes problematic.”

That’s how it address the kind of question. I don’t really think it’s that hard.  I think it is pretty logical, but you have to address both situations in answering the question.  So, again, in the 1st situation, you start off by saying, “Office politics often means 2 things. Number 1 is 2 people have a disagreement over which of their ideas is best. Management chooses the other person. Someone thinks it’s politics.  I don’t see it that way.  I see it as that. There were 2 good ideas. Management chose the one that they thought was best, and I have something I can learn from that.”

The 2nd one is, “I would try and sorted out with my colleague but, if I can’t, I go to management.”

Are There Places in Every State To Help You Find a Job? (VIDEO)

by

[svp]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H2OmGR6nUE[/svp]
What kind of places are you thinking of? Government agencies? Recruiters? Nonprofit groups?’

 

[spp-transcript]

The question for today is, “Are there places in every state to help you find the job?” 

It depends on what you mean by the word, “places.”  After all, I’m sure there are recruiters in every state that will help you find the job.  There are people that will help you find a job.  If you mean government agencies, which is what I suspect you are asking about, yes, I’m sure there are agencies that do occupational training and, perhaps, an Office of Employment and Training that will help you find work.  It used to be called Unemployment.  These agencies will “help you find a job.”  

What did they really do?  They will point you to a computer, tell you to do a search on their website and other websites to identify positions.

Do you think that’s the way that’s the way to help you find the job?

They may have pamphlets and other material for you to read (and probably not follow through on) that are designed to help you find the job, but are basic.

If you are the beginner level in your job search, you may need that kind of material to help you find work.

If you are a more experienced person, respectfully, , what I have seen of the information that is provided won’t be good enough to help you. Certainly, they are not going to go out and “find jobs for you.” Their job is to process people, not help you find the job.

Thus, the answer the question is, “it depends.” For most individuals, it is very basic stuff that won’t help you very much.

What you need to do take charge of your career, learn what you need to in order to find work now and in the future, and think of your career as a business that you own, not a him bdicated 2 other people.

It’s kind of like investing in mutual funds – – you handle your money to other people who you think no better, but do they really? Or a financial adviser? Do you think some of them really know better?

At the end of the day, you may not get a lot out of these Office of Training facilities and other places that the government has set up. You will get some amount of advice from recruiting firms. You can find people who can help you. There are nonprofit groups that can help. But you need to be in charge of your career,

I created JobSearchCoachingHQ.com to help both beginning and experienced professionals access to great information to help you find work. Also, you can ask me questions while you’re a member of the site and answer them to help you find work.

Again visit the site. – – JobSearchCoachingHQ.com

Twitter Profile Basics for Job Hunters | No BS Job Search Advice Radio

by

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter discusses the basics of setting up your Twitter profile for when you are job hunting.

twitter

[spp-transcript]

I want to talk with you today about Twitter and Twitter profiles.  It is going to sound remarkably similar to what you are told about your LinkedIn profile.

Twitter is a great tool for job hunters.  Most just don’t know how to use it properly.  It really does start off with your profile.  So, I want to give you a few profile pointers to help you with setting up your account, just as I’ve given advice to you for setting up your LinkedIn profile.

If you are trying to use your name (and that’s the ideal thing to do… Use your own name), you may find that with all the existing Twitter members, your name is already taken.  If I go to Twitter now, I suspect that the name, “Jeff Altman” has already been taken.  You can do. Jeff _Altman. You could try Jeff-Altman we do not. You could do AboutJeffAltman… Anything that makes sense.

Sometimes, you run into situations where the name you want to choose is too long.  For example, when I tried to register, “TheBigGameHunter,” I found that that was one character too long.  As a result, I dropped off the “e” in “Hunter,” so that it became, “TheBigGameHuntr.”  That’s become a way that people can find me.

Look at ways that you can play with the length of your name for your profile on twitter. 

Then, use a good picture.  Always think in terms of what an employer might find about you. If they are looking.  Ideally, if you can use the same professional photo that you use on LinkedIn for twitter, it will help you as well because people will recognize the similarity.

You can also add your twitter feed into your LinkedIn profile, as well. You can included in the summary with a remark like, “To find out more about me, follow me on twitter.” Then, you put your handle on twitter into your LinkedIn summary.

Next, complete your bio.  There are only 160 characters in the twitter bio.  So, you can do something like, “I am a senior developer in Java who is looking for opportunities in the Los Angeles area.”  Be very specific about what you are looking for.  For me, I describe the various interests I have in single words.  “Recruiter.  Podcaster.  Author.  Publisher.” Things along those lines.  I’m just trying to make people aware different ways that I can help them.

When all is said and done, you need to promote your twitter handle so you can use in the signature that you send out with your personal email.  You need to promote the signature for people to find you.  Make sure you include your location in your twitter profile.  If someone is trying to find you to hire you, or is looking for your kind of background, 1 of the criteria that I use is location.  Recognize that and included.

Lastly, look for a background that makes sense for you, especially if you are in 1 of the design fields.  You always want to make sure that your appearance on twitter complement your brand.  Where you can, include something that is graphically appealing.  That way, when people come to it, it will help them have a great impression.

Three Free Job Search Tools | Job Search Radio

by

tools

 

On today’s show, I talked about three free tools to help you with your search.

[spp-transcript]

I want to speak with you today about 3 tools that will be helpful to you with your job search.

I think I’ve done a video about this tool before; it is called, “Prophet.”  I’m pretty sure it is available through the Chrome extensions store so you will need to do a Google search for chrome extensions and then search for Prophet.  It only works without browser.

Once you install it, if you are on LinkedIn and they’re connected with someone, often what it is able to do is provide you with useful email address for the person, sometimes a phone number and access to other social media profiles  that the person is engaged with.

Again, the tool is Prophet.  If it is not in the chrome extensions store, search for it @ recruitingblogs.com.

The next one is called Miranda.  This 1 is exclusively for iOS devices.  The idea behind Miranda is that sometimes, when you’re looking for positions, you are talking with people in different time zones. You need to mentally convert times or trust Miranda to give you the correct time in the time zone for reaching someone.  Again, Miranda is available for iOS and you should be able to download for your iPhone, iPad, MacBook and other iOS devices.

You probably hate yourself over this last one – – Facebook, specifically Facebook search.  What Facebook search lets you do is get a more whole picture of an individual, not just simply what they are sharing or showing on LinkedIn but a more holistic view of them.

So, for example, if you are on LinkedIn and have an interview scheduled with me, for example, if you see using Prophet . Some of the social media that I’m involved with, you go over to Facebook and start to notice what I am sharing there and posting there.  What is my background like? Who do I interact with?  Who else do I network with?

You can observe this by going to someone’s Facebook page.

So again, 3 tools that will be helpful to you with your search.

Do Job Boards Matter? | No BS Job Search Advice Radio

by

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter discusses whether you should be spending time in your  job search with job boards. 

job_boards

[spp-transcript]

Today, I want to talk with you about whether or not you should be applying for jobs using job boards.

There is an article that I saw online that poses the question, whether job boards matter anymore. The article includes data from the corporate perspective using this 1 firm’s model. What they say is that people found their job listings, 38% found them through corporate websites, 35% through social media links, 23% through an email campaign, 4% throughout the links. Interesting data if you are trying to hire. Let’s break down the data.

They talk about how 61% of social media visits and 95% of social media applications were in the 1st 7 days. In other words, they were able to get out the message a lot quicker using social media. They got more applications more quickly using social media.

Social Media

From the job hunter perspective, social media is a great way to find out about “stuff.” It’s a great way to find out about jobs and companies….It is a great tool when you are job hunting
.
However, I also want to say the job boards are a terrific tool, too. You can call that job board Monster, CareerBuilder, Dice or whatever! You can call it LinkedIn because that has because LinkedIn certainly advertises jobs in a variety of ways and I’m talking about a job board feature here.

All these job boards are going to be morphing fairly soon and aggregating jobs like Indeed and SimplyHired do.

The relevance to you is that despite all the hype in the recruiting world is around LinkedIn, the fact of the matter is that people are ship finding jobs to job boards. They are finding jobs through networking too much higher level. But, yes, they are finding jobs for job boards.

Yes, it is a tedious process. There are a few things that make it better. For example, I did a quick demo with someone at monster.com for a little utility that they have called BeKnown. That operates on Facebook. Once you register on monster and come over to Facebook to look for jobs, what you will notice is that on some of the jobs a picture starts to appear on someone that you are connected with on Facebook who works for that firm or has worked for the firm.

This is the idea of using your network to finesse your way into an organization, having an advocate supporting you in order to get interviewed. They obviously can’t get you hired, but may be able to get in touch with the hiring manager and provide an employee referral that might result from the introduction and earn a commission and, you, an interview and the job.

The Data o Networking is Overwhelming

My advice to you is to use all the tools that are available to you. After all, they all work. As Dave Opton of ExecuNet said on “Job Search Radio,” the statistics are very overwhelming, that the way that 70% of people find jobs is through networking. 70% of the 70% find jobs as a result of introductions to people that they didn’t know at the beginning of the search.

Catch that one. 70% of the people find jobs through networking. 70% of the 70% (or 49%) found a job as a result of someone that they didn’t know at the beginning of the search.

Anything that you can do is going to help you find work. Networking. Job boards. Friends. It all works. Don’t drop anything from your arsenal because job boards and recruiters fill a certain number of jobs, even though networking feels far more.

Just keep working the job boards. Keep working. The technology that’s available to you to find out about leads (like the agents that will deliver leads from job boards to your inbox).
