Professional Career Coach/Counselor I recently lost my employment after twenty six years with the same employer.

Marketing Executive Thanks to Jibberjobber, I can focus on the getting the job, instead of managing a spreadsheet! This service has been the critical tool that has kept me organized as I searched for a new job! Thanks Jibberjobber! Aaron T. IT Professional I am a recent graduate from the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University. I graduated with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Business Management, thinking that I would have no trouble finding good employment by obtaining a degree from a top 40 Business School. During my educational experience, I was taught the importance of proper resume writing, networking and interviewing which I felt that these skills, along with my degree from a good Business School, would be sufficient in helping me to obtain the career of my dreams; however, soon after I graduated, I quickly learned that these skills were inadequate. I found it very challenging to seek, to create a network with others and to properly prepare myself for interviews. I learned through experience that my resume was very unprofessional, my interviewing skills were childish, and my network was practically not existent. Readily accessible tools for networking, interviewing and resume writing were not easily found or accessible. I had to learn from experience how to properly seek and interview for a job, which experience caused me a great deal of stress and frustration. I know that if I had the tools available as are found on Jibber Jobber, my experience would have been a lot better. This program helps people like you and I learn how to properly network and prepare ourselves for interviews. Jibber Jobber also provides other great tutorials necessary in the preparation to seeking a career. Tools like this will save you and me a lot of time, stress and frustrations. David W.

Two Questions About Personal Branding Issues - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Two Questions About Personal Branding Issues - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Here are two posts that caught my eye this week. Neither was about personal branding, but both raised questions about personal branding that are worth discussing. What do you think? If you want to be successful, be worth sharing by Jamie Varon Do we damage our personal brands by overdoing the self-promotion? Jamie Varon writes, “… we don’t trust you to be a good enough gauge of how great you are. You can lie and tell me you’re the best, but are you? I need other people to crowdsource your greatness. And, if other people do this crowdsourcing, you won’t need to scream to me that you are worth my time. You’ll be shared, if you’re worth sharing.” Pushing your personal brand too much comes off fake; like a marketing ploy. How much promotion is too much? Gen Y needs boundaries for action by Rebecca Thorman Is Gen Y ready to declare their personal brand? Rebecca Thorman writes, “… unbridled choice has us delaying marriage, children, and permanent employment â€" accomplishments that have traditionally defined adulthood. Not for Gen Y though. Brooks reports that fewer than 40 percent of 30-year olds have achieved these things versus 70 percent forty years ago.” A personal brand requires a consistent message, but research shows that Gen Y is still evolving. We don’t know where we’ll be 5 or 10 years from now, so how can we define our personal brands? What do you think?

Why a Healthy Dose of Competition is Good for the Careers of Your Employees

Why a Healthy Dose of Competition is Good for the Careers of Your Employees Most of us can probably agree that coming up against competition brings out a very different side to our personalities. Rivalries for promotions, pitches or new roles can push us to be more productive and to produce stronger work. Experts believe  that being competitive in business drives creativity and helps refine skills like a willingness to push boundaries, solve problems and trust instincts. It’s not just beneficial on an individual basis, either. Competition help us work more closely with one another, releasing chemicals in our brains that deepen the bonds we form. When you’re put into a situation that brings out your competitive side, you’re forced to regard your contemporaries in a new way. To come out on top, you’ll need to assess their skills and effort, then exceed it by becoming a high-performance employee,  which will help you attain your own career goals far faster. Here are a few of the success storiesâ€"and a few of the failuresâ€"to come out of  The Championships, Wimbledon, and how to be more competitive at work by using them to achieve better personal results. Drive interview success Marcus Willis â€" climbed 354 places in a 6-match winning streak From modest beginnings and a rank of 772, 25-year-old British tennis player, Marcus Willis, surprised spectators and players alike when his 6-match winning streak landed him opposite Roger Federer on centre court. Although he didn’t take the top spot, he did move forward 354 places to rank 418th  in the world. Willis’ story is a lesson in self-belief, especially for younger professionals. Although he was far from being a seasoned Wimbledon competitor, Willis pushed through games with more experienced players, allowing his hunger for success and passion for the sport to get him to the final centre court game. This same technique can be used to  drive interview success  and in those first crucial months of a new job. Never give up Serena Williams â€" collected a 7th  Wimbledon win despite critics’ claims of being past her prime If Willis is an inspiration to those just starting out on the career ladder, Williams is a prime example of how competition is equally beneficial for more seasoned professionals. Last year she won her 7th  Wimbledon championship and 22nd  Grand Slam title, despite critics claiming that she was past her prime. Without an abundance of younger talent and pressure from critics influencing her performance, who can say how successful she might have been. It’s also an example of digging deeper to rediscover the passion to achieve future successes in a long-term role, as opposed to recognising when that satisfaction has dwindled and that it may be time to  change job roles. Passion can be a success driver Fred Perry â€" beat his opponent in less than an hour Competition is a powerful tool, especially when you have the same ferocity as British tennis player Fred Perry. In 1936, he defeated his opponent in just 45 minutes. It’s a great example of this kinds of results competition can illicit, and  how passion, challenge and reward can be powerful success drivers. Competitive failures that we can all learn from In Wimbledon, as in the workplace, there are a fair share of failures as well as wins.  Learning from them  is what generates future success. Here are some examples of Wimbledon failures and how they can help you overcome your own career challenges. Quit while you’re ahead Kei Nishikori â€" forced out of the competition due to injury We’ve all been in situations where we know we need to take a break but just can’t bring ourselves to take the time off. World number 9 tennis player, Kei Nishikori, has been forced to drop out of two Wimbledon opportunities after failing to take the time to recover from physical injuries. Nishikori is a reminder that although competition is a motivating force, it’s also wise to remember that if you aren’t on top form, for whatever reason, it can harm your performance rather than enhance it. It’s not all about work Christie Truman â€" Lost a match, gained a friend In 1961, the women’s final was between two British playersâ€"Angela Mortimer and Christine Truman. Although Truman eventually lost to Mortimer, the spirit of competition didn’t ruin her respect for the talent and perseverance of her opponent. The two attend Wimbledon together every year and sit with one another. Being in competition with another colleague doesn’t mean you should be mortal enemies. A mutual enjoyment of the career, task and company should be celebrated and not forgotten, despite the pressurised environment. Competitive pitfalls to watch out for Although it has its benefits, remember to exercise your competitive streak with caution. Here are some examples of unhealthy competition in the workplace. Performance insecurity  â€" It can be incredibly tempting to give in to insecurity when you’re put into competitive environment. Try focusing on what makes your skill set unique and what only you can bring to the table.   Instigating unnecessary conflict  â€" Competition doesn’t mean conflict. Keep things friendly and use the extra pressure to grow as a team, rather than using it as a negative force. Focus on the bigger picture  â€" Using competition to grow your career and reach your goals should ultimately be for the better of the company. Reaching targets, winning contracts and growing revenue are all signs that competition is doing you goodâ€"avoid pettiness and small wins which are rooted in ego. Competition, when balanced with teamwork, can yield incredible benefits to you and your career. Take your cue from these Wimbledon winners and let your competitive side help you shine.
