What LinkedIns apply button may mean for job seekers -

What LinkedIns apply button may mean for job seekers - Theres been a lot of buzz in the past week or so about LinkedIns apply button. Mashable reported LinkedIn will launch a button to allow users to easily apply for jobs using their LinkedIn profiles as an effective resume later this month. Dan Schawbel called for this being one more nail in the resumes coffin and asserted job boards are on their way out as a result. Theres lots of push back from the recruiting community on the topic and, many of us believe the resume is not going out of style, but I think there is a more important question to consider for job seekers. Does one button applying help or hurt your chances for a job? Easy isnt always the best approach for job seekers. I would anticipate a one-button solution (eliminating those pesky hoops job seekers usually need to jump through) will result in many more candidates applying for jobs. Just a guess here, but I am also guessing it would appeal to more UNqualified candidates. Im not sure if thats useful for employers or job seekers, but its sure to feed into an applicant tracking system to help make it easy for employers to scan and screen applicants. The question of what it all means for job seekers still sticks out like a sore thumb. One of the most important things to do when applying for a job online is to target your materials to match the employers needs. How you apply for a job can be the difference between getting a job or not. Its crucial that your application materials make a case for you. This may be tricky for people applying for various types of jobs. It is much easier to tweak a resume and application than it is to worry about what LinkedIn profile is up. (Although, of course, the LinkedIn profile is always a factor, when it is the clear leading indicator when you apply, it can make applying more complicated for career changers or those career change expert Marci Alboher calls slashers. She defines slashers as people who have multiple career interests and expertise and cant answer the question What do you do? with a single word or phrase.) Donna Svei points out that reports say applicants will have a chance to edit their profiles when they apply, but as she explains, its unclear right now if the changes would be permanent on the LinkedIn profile or not. These are all important details, and it will be absolutely necessary for job seekers to remember that one button applying may shorten the process, but its not an invitation to apply for jobs without foresight and focus. If companies do start to receive a lot of unqualified or un-targeted applicants, we may see them preferring to find candidates from other sources. In fact, Career Columnist for The Seattle Times (NWjobs), Paul Anderson recently shared a column describing the fact that some employers advertise and collect applications from places even though they DONT expect to hire applicants from that pool! A little crazy, right? Paul clarified for me they put out those feelers just in case they dont get a good pool from their preferred sources. Job seekers should keep an eye on news about easier ways to apply for jobs. If you want to land an opportunity to interview for the job, though, dont focus on the its easy aspect keep an eye on the prize and spend time needed to tweak and target.

The Importance of Writing an Impactful Resume

The Importance of Writing an Impactful ResumeOne of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to write an impactful resume is not including any keywords in their resume. You can't see the work you've done with keywords, but you can check out the keywords that are listed in the online job application service. You will be surprised by how many keywords you have missed!I always recommend that everyone has the opportunity to look at all of the job applications and quality resumes they get from potential employers. Just filling out a resume page is often not enough to get an employer's attention. You need to find out if you can do a better job than the person who submitted the resume.The key to writing an impactful resume is to let your passions shine through. There is no secret formula to achieving this kind of success. All you need to do is think about the job that you would like to do and learn more about it.Before you even get started filling out numerous job applications, read as much as you can about what you want to do. In addition to learning about the position, do some research about it. This way, you will have an idea of what kind of work you would like to do.Writing an impactful resume is easy if you find something that you enjoy doing. When it comes to the words that you write, the words that you use should reflect the skills and talents that you possess.If you have a passion for teaching, that is great. You could teach English or even German or whatever the language is that you are applying for. You will only lose out if you don't use your passion and writing skills to write your resume.Don't think that your resume has to sound professional if you are new to the job market. Your resume should be easy to read and your voice should be visible on it.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Best Decision-Making Advice

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Best Decision-Making Advice No one likes to look foolish. But waiting too long to make a crucial decision â€" whether professional or personal â€" can be costly. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos thinks he knows the right balance to strike. In his annual letter to shareholders, released Wednesday, he reflected on how he keeps his Internet retail behemoth competitive: “Most decisions should probably be made with somewhere around 70% of the information you wish you had. If you wait for 90%, in most cases, you’re probably being slow. Plus, either way, you need to be good at quickly recognizing and correcting bad decisions. If you’re good at course correcting, being wrong may be less costly than you think, whereas being slow is going to be expensive for sure.” The comment immediately scored a reaction on Twitter. Of course, Bezos isn’t the only entrepreneur to emphasize a quick, flexible approach to decision making. It’s known as “failing fast.” The idea is that any complicated enterprise requires a lot of trial and error. In the long run, those who are willing to get started â€" even with an imperfect prototype â€" and adapt will end up with a better result than competitors who want to hone every aspect of a project to perfection. So why don’t more of us run our lives, or at least our careers, this way? One reason has to do with what type of decisions we find ourselves making, and whether they’re for ourselves or for our employers. As Bezos, acknowledges, fast-paced decision making is “easy for start-ups and very challenging for large organizations,” which tend to have evolved a set way of doing things and face bigger potential risks if a misstep alienates customers. But another reason may be more even more important, and it’s tied to the way our brains work. Psychologists have found that, for one reason or another, people face more mental anguish contemplating a potential loss than they gain pleasure from an equal-sized success. This tendency toward “loss aversion” can be paralyzing, leading us to avoid taking chances â€" even when they are more likely to rebound to our favor.
