Savvy People Know Where They Want to Work Next

Connie is a recruiter who coaches scientists and others on how to find their next career step. Chat with Connie on Google+ | LinkedIn | Facebook

A successful career is built on knowing what you want and who has it. Where will you work next?

The best way to do this is to know what industry you want the most, what niche you want to work in, and who the people are who work in those companies.

Once you know the companies where you want to work next and the names of the people you want to work with, you can begin to network with them. Networking is not interviewing. Networking is not buying a book from Amazon. Networking is much more like dating than anything else.

So who do you need to know at each company you’re interested in? Someone who is not in your preferred department, someone who is in your preferred department, and the name of the boss of that department. You can look these people up on LinkedIn.

But once you do, what then? How can you become known liked and trusted and remembered before they need someone who has your skills? You can introduce yourself through LinkedIn using a mutual acquaintance, you can ask to be connected on LinkedIn mentioning a mutual acquaintance, or you can call directly. Which of these things would you prefer, if someone wanted to know you? It is very important to be both polite and interesting. Everybody, not just you, is busy and overwhelmed these days. Why would someone open your email if they don’t know you? So you must have something interesting in your subject line. Or if you are using LinkedIn, you must use something other than the default connection language that LinkedIn provides.

One way that works is to mention the name of a mutual acquaintance or a LinkedIn group you both belong to. One of the things I say is: “hi, so-and-so, I saw your name here in LinkedIn in (XYZ) LinkedIn Group and thought we would benefit by being connected.” This is short, to the point, and a bit mysterious.

Another way is to say: “You and I are both connected to (mutual acquaintance) so I asked him if it would be good for us to link in directly. He thought it would be.” But don’t do this unless you have asked your mutual acquaintance if it would be okay with him.

Sometimes I say: “I see that you and I are both connected to (mutual acquaintance) and I thought it would be useful for both of us to connect directly here on LinkedIn”

Once someone agrees to link in with you, you need to thank them and follow up. Since networking is more about giving, then it is about asking, what can you give to each person?

If you are looking for a job, and have identified three people in each of 30 companies that you think you would fit into for your next job, then you need to have a strategy and a plan for following up with them. In order to do this, you need to keep information about each of these people. You can do this in your notes in LinkedIn, in a separate dossier on your computer, or perhaps even in a notebook on paper. You will want to keep these people on Google alerts and make notes about whatever comes up. These things give you content for your follow-up emails.

Do you know which 30 companies are most likely to want to hire you when you’re finished with your current job? Do you know three people at each company? Have you set up networking meetings, not informational interviews, and certainly not job-seeking interviews, with each of them? Do you know what networking meetings they are likely to attend? Do you know what you will say to them at either of these venues?

Join us for a free webinar every third Wednesday at 5 PM Pacific to learn five more tips on how to build your career network.

Bioscience Job Interview Tips

Connie is a recruiter who coaches scientists and others on how to find their next career step. Chat with Connie on Google+ | LinkedIn | Facebook

There are lots of sites with general advice for job interviews but very few for bioscience job seekers. What differences have you found in these very specific bioscience jobs vs. more general ones?

Here are some of the best I’ve seen lately

Ace Every Interview: Job Interview Tips That Will Impress Any Recruiter

The Brazen Careerist’s new book

While this is general, I love the clarity of the Brazen Careerist. Research the company, prep and knowing yourself are the top takeaways.

Executive Level Job Interview Tips [Podcast]

http://ift.tt/1Rn0UOX

Brief (62 seconds) podcast about the essential pre-interview steps.

Takeaway: Research, Rehearse, Rapport and Results. Whether you are a scientist or a manager, these are essential!

The After-Interview Trick You’re Not Using

http://ift.tt/1Rn0XKy

And specifically from Biospace for people in the bioscience industries.

Takeaway: Make notes, write a thank you note, analyze the questions you were asked and learn from every interview

The One Empty Word to Avoid in a Job Interview

Another one from Biospace, but still rather generic

Takeaway: Use “I” not “we”. The manager wants to know what YOU can do, not what your team did. He is not hiring your team. And use those PAR statements!

Would you send this email introduction to someone you had never met?

Connie is a recruiter who coaches scientists and others on how to find their next career step. Chat with Connie on Google+ | LinkedIn | Facebook

I participate in LinkedIn’s “email introduction” method. Do you?

HOWEVER! Don’t do what this person did!!! Not only has he trashed his own reputation/brand, he has trashed mine! Not only is the grammar bad, but the audacity of the demand is outrageous!

“I am urgently looking for job opportunity.
I am having more then 23 years of experience in Sales and Business Development.
Kindly inform further for any suitable position. I am willing to relocate.”

(This was the entire email, not taken out of context, that I received yesterday as a CC.)

As a recruiter, I only work on a few searches at any one time. That means that it is unlikely that I have your job when you are looking for it. But I do feel for the people who are looking. So I provide guidance and instruction on job search strategy.

This is a marriage proposal before the person even knows if they like you!

No one has a warehouse of jobs waiting for you to ask for one. It just doesn’t work that way. And for a Sales person to do this (OMG!!!) – proof that they are NOT very good.

The emails you send through introductions MUST be polite, deferential, interesting and prove that the person introducing you has the final reader’s best interest at heart.

We are all extremely busy. Opening an email from someone we don’t know is an act of kindness and curiosity. If you are not polite and interesting, you will only annoy the recipient of your email.

I have disconnected from this person, because, no matter how generous I feel or how badly he needs a job, he will only wreck my reputation! And I’ve apologized to the person I had introduced him to.

If you need help with writing these email introductions check out my free webinar
