3 Ways to Overcome Face-to-Face Networking Awkwardness

3 Ways to Overcome Face-to-Face Networking Awkwardness 3 Ways to Overcome Face to Face Networking Awkwardness The problem with networking is simple: IT’S AWKWARD! Even for the most outgoing, confident and experienced networker, attending a face-to-face networking event has moments of clumsiness and discomfort. But it’s still the most effective way to start building long-term, two-way relationships â€" really connecting for mutual benefit and results. The key is to learn some tricks so you get over the hurdles and enjoy the experience. Here are some common challenges: 1. I enter the event and I’m lost and intimidated. Create a rhythm of your own and keep moving around. Follow these three steps: The introduction, the conversation and the close. Ask good open-ended questions and be genuinely curious about the person you are meeting. There’s a great phrase: “Be interested, not interesting.” Listen more than you talk. Your goal is to find great people to follow up with and talk with more at a later point in time. Here are a few questions to tuck in your portfolio: What brought you to the event? How did you get into the field you are in? Whats next for you? What excites you about what you do? 2. The business card exchange â€" what to do? First, you need to have your hands free to shake hands and exchange cards, so check your coats and briefcases at the door. Second, you need to HAVE business cards and a pen and paper. If youre not employed â€" or want to keep your job search private â€"make personal business cards. If forget your cards or run out, ask the other person for their card and be sure to send them an e-mail the next day. Do the business card exchange early on â€" at the time of your introduction. That way you can observe the information on the card and take separate notes. In many cultures, it is rude to write on the back of the card, which is why you should take short notes (remember that pen and paper?). Do NOT use your smartphone or any other device because you will lose eye contact. 3. I get home and have this stack of cards. Now what? Here’s where networking breaks down. About two out of 100 people, in my experience, follow up with a contact they just met. And I dont mean clicking “connect” on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a tool, not a way to build a long term relationship. Within 24 hours, put the contents of the business card into your contact manager or address book. In the notes section, write the date, the event where you met, and the notes you took about your discussion. “Offered to meet with me; likes toy poodles; knows somebody who works at XYZ Company.” Then send individual emails, thanking each one for his or her time and requesting a follow up 20-minute conversation. Communicate your objective in a very concise way. “I’m job-searching for an operations manager in a telecommunications company and would like your advice or “Im working on a major initiative at work that I hope you can help me with.” Once you press “send,” mark your calendar for the day that you will follow up. Ideally, it should be seven working days later. Then send three more follow-up emails, one every seven working days. If they dont respond, they are not willing or able to make the time for you. Move on.

SWOT Analysis for Job Interviews

SWOT Analysis for Job Interviews ShareShare Strengths In order to be strategic in the interview, you need to know what aspects of your background and strengths are most likely to make you stand out above the competition. Know your unique selling proposition or key selling points and be prepared to communicate them convincingly, from your answer to the first interview question, through all the SOAR/STAR stories you tell. Weaknesses Whether or not the interviewer specifically asks you a question about your weaknesses, they may have concerns about youafter all, nobodys perfect. Identify the most likely concerns and prepare to address them even before the question is asked. For example, if you think the interviewer may think youre overqualified, you might mention early in the interview that youre looking for a role thats personally fulfilling rather than high-paying, or that you prefer being an individual contributor instead of a manager because you enjoy hands-on technical work. Opportunities Every interview question, even if its about something negative, is an opportunity to present yourself as the right person for the job. For example, Tell me about a time you failed is an opportunity to show that you take risks and learn from your mistakes. Think of every question this way. Even the so-called thank-you note you send afterwards is not just a formality but an opportunity. If the interview results in an offer, now you have an opportunity to negotiate, not only about money and benefits but potentially anything about the job, including the timing of the first salary review, PTO, hours, title or even the job responsibilities. If you dont get an offer this time around, dont assume not now means never. A gracious email thanking the hiring manager for considering you and expressing interest in future opportunities (possibly including contract work) can reopen the door. The candidate who got the offer may not work out. Or another position may open up. Watch for opportunities throughout the process. Threats Spend a few minutes identifying likely problems and then make a plan to prevent them. For example, if youre planning to leave work early for the interview, identify issues that could come up to stop you, and plan ahead to prevent them. In case of transportation problems, have a Plan B. And if you tend to forget things when you leave the house, use a checklist. Having identified and prepared for possible threats, set those thoughts aside and focus on researching the company, practicing your answers and visualizing a successful outcome. What do you think? How will you use SWOT analysis to prepare for your job interview?

Disneyland reinforces the benefits of employee engagement to an HR exec

Disneyland reinforces the benefits of employee engagement to an HR exec Last week, I blogged about my very first visit to Disneyland Best friends from work take me to a meet and greet with Mickey Last week, I blogged about my very first visit to Disneyland Yes, you read that right. I have never been to Disneyland or any Disney theme park. As an HR guy, I felt flattered that co-workers put together a trip for me to meet Mickey. This experience reinforced to me that having best friends at work can make a difference in how we all feel about our work and our employer.   This weeks post is part two of the series. Today, I explore a number of HR concepts that I feel Disneyland does really well. I had heard the Disneyland hype as an employer of choice, the exceptional customer experience and have worked with colleagues who worked at Disneyland. As much as I was looking forward to spending a day with great friends, there was a second aspect to the day trip. The HR geek in me was looking forward to experiencing the culture of Disneyland as felt through its very visible employees and grounds. My experience would be a direct correlation to how Disneyland employees feel about its culture and values. Even newbs like me who have NOT been to Disneyland have heard the hype The place is impeccably clean The employees are incredibly engaged with the customers The landscaping will be Mr. Miyagi level Disneyland lived up to all the hype, pomp and circumstance. What does Disneyland have to do with HR? Being involved with recruiting, there are a few accomplishments on a resume that will catch any recruiters eye. Second languages, leadership positions in a sorority/fraternity and work experience at Disney are at the top of the list. Disney makes the list because they have such a strong customer experience culture. Candidates with this experience understand what customer service is all about and every company wants a piece of this. Our HR Specialist held a leadership position with a sorority and worked at Disney so of course, she was in on this trip. She brings the benefit of both past experiences to her HR role.     As an HR guy, I believe that the culture of the company is not just good for employees, but the companys customers. Engaged employees can make a big difference in the customer’s perception of the company and Disney employees delivered. They call it the Happiest Place on Earth because the employees are purposeful about this company value. I get it now.   A few examples of the customer experience translated from Walt to the Disneyland “guests” The place was IMMACULATELY, white glove clean. There are more bits of garbage in our 10,000 sq foot office than there were noticed in all of Disneylands 85 acres. With trees everywhere, I rarely saw any dead leaves on the grounds. Disneyland rocked a Mr. Miyage level landscape. I wore white pants and white shoes and was a little worried about the outdoor seating getting my shit dirty. I shouldn’t have and didn’t.   When our pictures were taken, they didn’t just take a single picture of us. All the photographers made our session a photo shoot. The photographer had us in multiple poses and if one of our group wanted her OWN picture by herself, they accommodated. The photographers didn’t emit any heavy sighs or look at the long lines with impatience. Just big smiles and the click of the camera. CRA CRA! Our first photo shoot was in a Teacup. In my he-man mind, I wasn’t super excited about hopping in a pink Teacup but my crew acted as if this was SOP so I went with the flow. The photographer made this particular experience one of the best and set the tone for the rest of the day. I had doubts, but our photographer made the Teacup photo session a great experience.   Those that have been to Disneyland understand this is commonplace, but for this neophyte, “MIND BLOWN!”. When was the last time you experienced this level of service across such a large organization? Below are just a  few of the HR lessons learned. Disneyland proves managers can be friends with individual contributors? I believe that managers and individual contributors can hang out together after hours and blogged about it here. I am suspicious of managers who say: “I don’t hang out with people on my team, I can’t be their friend”. Trust comes hard with anyone that wont break bread with me. The No Friend Zone is a short-sighted approach. I would like to believe that as friends, we will work harder and look out for each other at a deeper level. As most readers know, Mrs. HRNasty passed away a few years ago, and this crew looks out for me. They treat as a friend and not a victim. These are great friends and Mrs. HRNasty would be happy for me.     Breaking bread together. OK, its a Mickey Mouse Beignet, but you get the idea. Outdoor seating: Immaculate. Disneyland proves Corporate Culture extends to and enhances the customer/guests experience I am constantly thinking about building employee engagement and building a culture of support. As an employer, I dont want the teams to just get shit done. I want to have fun and believe in each other. HR can be a catalyst that builds teams of employees who will not only get along but go the extra mile for each other. I blogged about a team I worked with here in 2010 and we were able to get shit done in the most stressful of times.    I can picture this happening at Disneyland.   Based on my experience, I believe that Disneyland employees get along. I find it hard to believe that everyone can be so nice without liking each other or their employer. Yes, I realize that if you are caught arguing with a guest, there will be dire results, but the customer experience was more than that. The employees delivered a sincere experience.     Conscious of Employee Costs I am always counting how many employees are working in a place, especially when the establishment is empty. I always wonder how the owner makes payroll when they have what looks like TOO many employees and very few customers. In 2012 I blogged about how Jimmy Johns had 17 visible employees making sandwiches and why it was obviously working. At Disneyland, I saw a marching band perform. I couldn’t help but wonder “How much does this crew cost Disneyland?” This was unbelievable to my HR mind. The marching band consisted of 20 musicians and 2 handlers to make sure guests gave them room. But that isn’t it. These guys are wearing what I have to imagine are some of the more expensive costumes in the park. Did we mention the instruments? Instruments are a HUGE EXPENSE! Rides weren’t enough for Walt. This MoFo said I am going to give them the full experience and it will include a marching band. Walt has big balls Lets face it. No one is saying “I WOUUUULD go to Disneyland but they don’t have a marching band so we are going to go to Seaworld!”. No one is saying, “Disneyland used to be fun, but it isn’t the same without the Marching band.” Walt has big balls and I applaud him. Yes,  I saw guests engaged with the bands performance. Walt giving us the full experience with 1076 instruments on opening day. WTF Mr. Disney? I am glad I wasnt the HR guy recruiting 1000 marching band members! I also read about an early Mickey Mouse movie with sound and sure enough, there was a brass band. My bad Walt, I see the connection now.   Trying to get by with the fewest employees possible is not always the best way.  Think outside the box! A member of the our   #MouseClub gave me this hat for Christmas and that is our club pin. They know my style.     Thank you Mr. Disney, my hat is off to you for creating a great customer experience at Disneyland via your employees. I have an idea of what it takes to for employees to embrace company values. You blew my mind. MouseClub, thank you for sharing a personal experience and inspiring my HR world. Taking the HR guy on an adventure of this scale was the ultimate compliment and I will remember your gesture of kindness for the rest of my life.   See you at the after party, HRNasty nasty: an unreal maneuver of incredible technique, something that is ridiculously good, tricky and manipulative but with a result that can’t help but be admired, a phrase used to describe someone who is good at something. “He has a nasty forkball.
