In case you have not read it, here is a synopsis:</p>\n<p>\"Are You My Mother?\" is the story about a hatchling bird. His mother, thinking her egg will stay in her nest where she left it, leaves her egg alone and flies off to find food. The baby chick hatches. He does not understand where his mother is so he goes to look for her.</p>\n<p>In his search, he asks a kitten, a hen, a dog, and a cow if they are his mother. They each say, \"No.\" Then he sees an old car, which cannot be his mother for sure. In desperation, the hatchling calls out to a boat and a plane, and at last, convinced he has found his mother, he climbs onto the teeth of an enormous steam shovel. A loud \"SNORT\" belches from its exhaust stack, prompting the bird to utter the immortal line, \"You are not my mother! You are a SNORT!\"”I want my mother!\" he shouts.</p>\n<p>At this climactic moment, his fate is suddenly reversed. The shovel drops him back in his nest just as his mother is returning home. The two are united, much to their delight, and the baby bird tells his mother about the adventure he had looking for her.</p>\n<p><b>What does this children’s book have to do with your job search?</b> According to Berry Zimmerman, CEO of <a href=\"http://www.bizenrich.com/\">BizEnrich</a> and creator of <a href=\"http://www.bizenrich.com/referral-marketing-programs\">Gifted Referrals</a>, “you are the bird and the SNORT is a very valuable referral source. The question for your referral sources is, “Who do you know that can take me to my next job, hiring manager, or company?””</p>\n<p>Here are three things for you to do right now to find your mother, I mean, next career move.</p>\n<p><b>Step 1:</b> Get out from behind your computer (your nest) and meet people.  Network, connect, and build relationships.  Get out there and meet helpful, professional people! Naturally, aim for people working in a similar field, either in your target industry or in your target function like sales, operations, or finance.  Find events through your local <i>Business Journal</i>, online or in print, and on LinkedIn.</p>\n<p><b>Step 2:</b> Communicate your career goal. Zimmerman says “the bird’s goal was clear, to find his mother. Create a clear, concise and repeatable message about your goal.”  A good example: “I’m seeking a financial analysis position in Chicago, preferably with a manufacturing company.” Or “I’m seeking a marketing coordinator position in a large technology corporation here in Seattle.” </p>\n<p><b>Step 3:</b> Track your network and stay connected with them for years and years.

Current employees should get a “Plan B” ready now.</p>\r\n<p>Don’t be fooled by the recent small improvement in employment numbers. If you are in a company, division, industry, or type of job that is at risk for reduction, get moving NOW to be prepared if you are impacted.</p>\r\n<p>The “<a href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2013/03/06/news/economy/spending-cuts/index.html?iid=EL\">sequester</a>” is cause for concern regarding the economic outlook across the board. And we’re likely to see a dip in consumer confidence, as well. Consumers are not optimistic that they will get a raise; that there will be more jobs. Owners of small and medium-sized businesses are questioning whether business will improve over the next six months.</p>\r\n<p>After coaching hundreds of people in the last three years, I have heard it all. Here are the top three excuses why they are not preparing for their next career move.</p>\r\n<p><i>“It won’t happen to me; I’ve been here a long time.”</i></p>\r\n<p><i>“I have no idea what I would do next.”</i></p>\r\n<p><i>“Our business/company is doing just fine.”</i></p>\r\n<p>Here are the top 3 things you should do right NOW, while you’re still employed:</p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><b>AIM:</b> Write out your “next job” goal with great precision, including target functions, industries, and companies.</li>\r\n<li><b>UPDATE:</b> Re-boot your résumé. Don’t just add your current position; give it a face-lift with keywords, power verbs, relevant skills, and metrics.</li>\r\n<li><b>NETWORK:</b> Combine social media with face-to-face connections - industry or association events, alumni events, and any other relevant events you can identify. Use your local Business Journal to find the best events, job leads, fast-moving companies and much more.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<p>In summary, it is more urgent now than ever before that you be ready today for something that could happen to you tomorrow. The job market is already highly competitive and job searches are taking much longer than in the past (an estimated one month for every $10K in annual pay). </p>\r\n<p>We have car insurance, home insurance, health insurance, but no “Job Insurance”… build it now. There are things you should be doing NOW to prepare for your next career move.</p>\r\n<p>Don’t worry; you’re not sneaking behind anyone’s back. The activities you should be involved in are everyday business behavior and don’t have to be “hidden” from the public or your employer. For example, using LinkedIn. Many companies see the value of great LinkedIn profiles for their employees; they’re even teaching how to build one! </p>\r\n<p>Don’t be caught without a “Plan B” for your career. It’s nobody’s responsibility but yours.</p>','3 Things You Should Do While You Still Have a Job','','inherit','open','open','','2266-revision-8','','','2013-07-25 23:20:40','2013-07-25 23:20:40','',2266,'http://www.danamanciagli.com/set-your-goal/2266-revision-8/',0,'revision','',0),(2917,1,'2013-08-27 12:55:43','2013-08-27 12:55:43','Hiring managers want to hire happy people.

Her \'Cut the Crap Job Description Profile (JD Profile) was an invaluable tool to translate a candidate\'s resume to a specific job. It was wonderful to hear job search and networking advice from a Fortune 500 executive who has reviewed thousands of candidates with diverse and global backgrounds. Dana\'s no nonsense approach with a great sense of humor made her very approachable and left the attendees feeling like they could connect with Dana outside of the seminar. And many have!

My priority, though, is to secure a position in the next two weeks that will enable me to bring my family from Dallas during the second week of June. This overrides the objective! My need is urgent.<br /><br />Please let me know what I can do to make this happen. We can talk on the phone or meet if that will help direct thoughts on which of the people you know could benefit from someone adept in problem solving, dispute resolution and creative solutions. I appreciate your considering this very important request.</blockquote>\r\n<p><strong>Flaw Number 1:</strong> While I applaud Randy’s effort to let his network know he is looking for a job, this is desperate and thoughtless. No recipient wants to be the \"source of my next opportunity.\" They want to be talked to like a person. If I were standing in front of Randy, he might have started with something like, \"I’m sorry for the impersonal approach, but I could really use your help.\" As a rule, I don\'t recommend these broadcasts, and the odds of this one generating a meaningful result are slim to none.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Flaw Number 2:</strong> Randy’s job search goal is squishy, selfish, and unrealistic. You have to have a great goal statement that you can articulate to anybody, including friends, recruiters and your network.</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Randy’s goal is missing the single most important ingredient: WHAT FUNCTION? Does Randy want to be a CEO or an executive administrative assistant? Or is he a sales manager or an operations manager?</li>\r\n<li>Another flaw in the goal: His use of \"my unique combination of business-building skills…\" This is not about you, Randy! His goal should state what he can do for somebody else. And I have no idea what \"business-building skills\" are!</li>\r\n<li>Finally, \"supporting the CEO of a $5 to $20 million company.\" So we, the recipients, don\'t know what type of function or what industry, but we have a very narrow definition of the size of Randy’s target company. He would be better off saying \"small- to medium-sized business.\"</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p><strong>Flaw Number 3:</strong> The close of Randy’s mission-critical request is very weak. Again, we hear a squishy description of \"someone adept in problem solving, dispute resolution and creative solutions.\" That\'s not helpful to me. Even worse, the ending has no \"call to action\" or next step for the recipient. \"Please let me know what I can do to make this happen.\" Make <em>what</em> happen?</p>\r\n<p>I get it. Making this type of request is awkward, humbling, and Randy is clearly desperate. However, imagine if Randy ended his blast with:</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 17px;\">Please reply to this letter with any one of the following so I can get in touch with you:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Do you know of any open positions or any hiring managers I should contact now?</li>\r\n<li>Do you have any favorite sources of open positions you can send me to? (groups, associations, etc.)</li>\r\n<li>Would you like me to contact you to provide any additional information?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>Millions of employed and unemployed people are networking for their next career move.

Ask for all email addresses while you are interviewing. However, if you forgot, contact the recruiter, HR manager, or anybody who might be able to give it to you.

Don’t be one of them. </b></p>\n<p><b>Mistake #1</b>: Scathing follow-up emails from job seekers who think they\'re out of the running.</p>\n<p><b>Mistake #2:</b> Rudeness or impatience. If the hiring manager gave you a specific date or timeframe, give them some room. Hiring processes take time and you don\'t want to seem overly anxious.</p>\n<p><b>Mistake #3:</b> One-line emails: \"<i>Can you call me back</i>?\"</p>\n<p><b>Mistake #4:</b> Group thank you notes— it’s not personal and group notes imply you are lazy.</p>\n<p><b>Mistake #5:</b> In a personal thank you note, your copy and paste didn’t work so it was addressed, “<i>Dear Sally</i>” and it closed with, “<i>Thank you, again, Bob.</i>”</p>\n<p><b>Mistake #6:</b> Misspellings, grammar, punctuation errors. Remember each communication is a writing sample for the employer!</p>\n<p><b>Mistake #7:</b> Gimmicks. Do not send flowers, a gift, anything.</p>\n<p><b>Mistake #8:</b> Asking a friend to “swing by” the hiring manager’s office and say, “<i>How is Bob doing for your position hiring. Isn’t he great?” </i></p>\n<p><b>3 tricks for the BEST job search follow up.</b></p>\n<p>Well, I’m not going to leave you hanging! Here are my 3 tricks to help you be the BEST in your job search follow up:</p>\n<p><b>Trick #1:</b>  Always appear gracious, positive, patient, and interested. Speak in a very respectful manner if you\'re leaving a voicemail message, acknowledging that, <i>“I know you are very busy, but I wanted to follow up on the email I sent you and to say that I’m still very interested in the position.”</i></p>\n<p><b>Trick #2:</b> When following up with an email, always attach the prior email you are referring to. If there was an attachment to the prior email, reattach it, as appropriate.</p>\n<p><b>Trick #3:</b>  Match the communication medium the interviewer has been using, i.e. returning emails with emails, phone calls with phone calls.</p>\n<p>What are your tricks and challenges for job search follow up?  Comment here! </p>','3 Tricks for the BEST Job Search Follow Up: No Excuses, No Mistakes','','inherit','open','open','','2955-revision-v1','','','2013-08-30 20:45:56','2013-08-30 20:45:56','',2955,'http://www.danamanciagli.com/set-your-goal/2955-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(2959,1,'2013-09-11 02:49:59','2013-09-11 02:49:59','<p>[caption id=\"attachment_2961\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.danamanciagli.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Hiring-Manager-Perspective-on-Interviewing.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2961\" alt=\"A Hiring Manager Perspective on Interviewing\" src=\"http://www.danamanciagli.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Hiring-Manager-Perspective-on-Interviewing-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> A Hiring Manager Perspective on Interviewing[/caption]</p>\r\n<p>There are thousands of websites and books ready to teach you “How to interview for a job.” My goal is to show you how to be THE BEST in today’s new era of job search, to give a <b><i>great</i></b><i> </i>interview!</p>\r\n<p>Face it, the hiring and recruiting process has changed since the last time you interviewed. It’s way more competitive, and your interview can make or break your chances. I’m here to help you increase your odds of winning the job as a result of a <i>great</i> interview. A “good” interview is no longer good enough.</p>\r\n<p><b>4 Principles of Job Interviews </b></p>\r\n<p><b>1. The Interviewer has an agenda.</b> Know their agenda. During the interview process, there are really only three questions that need to be answered to help the HR person, hiring manager, or interviewer determine if you’re the right fit for the job:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><i>Can</i> this person do the job?</li>\r\n<li><i>Will</i> he/she do the job?</li>\r\n<li>Will he/she <i>fit in</i> with the company culture?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong> 2. </strong></span><b>The interview is all about THEM</b>: the company, the hiring manager, the interviewer. News flash: It’s not about YOU sharing all you can about YOU. Everything you say and do must be relevant and meaningful to THEM. Be very careful.</p>\r\n<p> Here’s an example:</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i>Question: Why are you interested in this job?</i></p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i> </i><i>A ‘YOU’ Answer</i>:  Because I have worked 10 years in this industry, I am strong with analytics and great with cross-group collaboration. I also think your company has great growth opportunities for my career.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"> <i>A “THEM” Answer</i>: Because your team is facing challenges and opportunities that I want to contribute to. I believe I can fill your needs for an analytical leader who can lead diverse groups of teams.</p>\r\n<p><b>3. The interview is your performance of a lifetime. </b>You are being watched with every step you take, every move you make, including how you look. Think about it. From a company perspective, this is your BEST day. You have your best outfit on, you have been able to prepare with research, and you can say amazing things about yourself and even brag a little.</p>\r\n<p>If you can’t be a great listener or communicator on this day, OR if you make huge errors such as bad-mouthing a prior boss, then you probably won’t win this job. </p>\r\n<p>Don’t be fooled by venue, either. In this new era of job search, you may be meeting in a Starbucks café or on a web conference. Or the meeting might be called an “informational” or information-gathering meeting, which is really an interview in disguise. Alternatively, the meeting might be with a friend of a friend who might have the job you are looking for. Your safest bet: If there is a job involved, put that interview guard UP and keep it UP to avoid any mistakes.</p>\r\n<p><b>4. You can’t over-prepare for an interview.</b> In my 30+ years of hiring, interviewing, and recruiting for other teams, and coaching, I have NEVER heard a hiring manager say, “Wow, that candidate was too prepared for my interview,” or, “No way, she was too organized and had answers to every question I asked.”</p>\r\n<p>The #1 measure of your job search success is the number of interviews you are getting.

Let’s clear up a few myths: </p>\r\n<p><b>Myth #1:</b>  Recruiters will introduce candidates to their clients.</p>\r\n<p><b>Truth #1:</b>  Yes, if you are a fit for a position the recruiter is working on. The reason why recruiters do research to identify candidates is that their client’s specification (job description) is job #1 to fulfill. The recruiter would lose credibility by saying, “Well, I don’t have that, but I’ve got this other great guy for you to look at!”</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><b>Myth #2:</b>  Recruiters act as “agents” for job seekers, especially executives.</p>\r\n<p><b>Truth #2:</b>  Recruiters make their money by securing hiring companies as clients. They are paid by the hiring company and their focus is focused on finding clients and fulfilling their clients’ needs…over and over again. </p>\r\n<p>Some recruiters are retained by a company in a contract with their fee committed up front and others are contingency recruiters, who are paid by the client only if the client hires their candidate. Many retained recruiters focus on executive level searches, approximately $150,000 per year base and higher, with exceptions, of course. </p>\r\n<p>As in any industry, there are various types of recruiters. Some really enjoy the engagement with prospective candidates or job seekers and others choose to invest their time elsewhere. Don’t take it personally. </p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><b>Myth #3:</b> Recruiters have their own database that job seekers should get into.</p>\r\n<p><b>Truth #3:</b> Yes, many of the larger recruiters do have a database that they can scan your résumé into. However, recruiters today understand that LinkedIn is the largest database in the world.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>What steps should you take?</p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>No more than 5% of your job search efforts should be focused on recruiters. Do not expect a reply or a conversation as they will call you if and when there is a fit. Repeat: Don’t take it personally.</li>\r\n<li>Introduce yourself to local recruiters as a small component of your job search schedule. The way to get on a recruiters “radar” is<ol>\r\n<li>To be mentioned or referred by respected individuals in the recruiter’s network about the quality of your work.</li>\r\n<li>By being known as a rock star (top notch high performer) in your current position – the word spreads quickly.</li>\r\n<li>To demonstrate that you understand how recruiters work and show respect for their time.</li>\r\n<li>To interview exceptionally well with them over the phone or face-to-face! Treat any interaction with a recruiter as if you are meeting with a hiring manager. </li>\r\n<li>Be sure you have a brilliant profile on LinkedIn. Don’t wing it. Take the LinkedIn tutorials, type “LinkedIn profile tips” in your Bing or Google search bar and spend hours learning and updating your profile. You may learn ideas on how to improve your résumé, too, since the two should match.</li>\r\n<li>Focus most of your energy on identifying the companies you want to work for and the role you want to perform next. Occasionally, when you contact a hiring company, they will send you to the recruiter they have hired.</li>\r\n</ol></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>For answers to your questions, challenges or concerns, please e-mail me at <a href=\"mailto:Dana@DanaManciagli.com\">Dana@DanaManciagli.com</a> or add your comment here!</p>','3 Myths Busted About Working with Recruiters for Your Job Search','','inherit','open','open','','3293-revision-v1','','','2013-11-26 17:35:37','2013-11-26 17:35:37','',3293,'http://www.danamanciagli.com/set-your-goal/3293-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2974,1,'2013-09-02 16:52:52','2013-09-02 16:52:52','<p>The Cut the Crap (CTC) Job Search Schedule will put you on a program, on a track to help you succeed with your job search.

During the interview process, there are really only three questions that need to be answered to help the HR person, hiring manager, or interviewer determine if you’re the right fit for the job:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Can</i> this person do the job?</li>\n<li><i>Will</i> he/she do the job?</li>\n<li>Will he/she <i>fit in</i> with the company culture?</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong> 2. </strong></span><b>The interview is all about THEM</b>: the company, the hiring manager, the interviewer. News flash: It’s not about YOU sharing all you can about YOU. Everything you say and do must be relevant and meaningful to THEM. Be very careful.</p>\n<p> Here’s an example:</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i>Question: Why are you interested in this job?</i></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i> </i><i>A ‘YOU’ Answer</i>:  Because I have worked 10 years in this industry, I am strong with analytics and great with cross-group collaboration. I also think your company has great growth opportunities for my career.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"> <i>A “THEM” Answer</i>: Because your team is facing challenges and opportunities that I want to contribute to. I believe I can fill your needs for an analytical leader who can lead diverse groups of teams.</p>\n<p><b>3. The interview is your performance of a lifetime. </b>You are being watched with every step you take, every move you make, including how you look. Think about it. From a company perspective, this is your BEST day. You have your best outfit on, you have been able to prepare with research, and you can say amazing things about yourself and even brag a little.</p>\n<p>If you can’t be a great listener or communicator on this day, OR if you make huge errors such as bad-mouthing a prior boss, then you probably won’t win this job. </p>\n<p>Don’t be fooled by venue, either.

Or the meeting might be called an “informational” or information-gathering meeting, which is really an interview in disguise. Alternatively, the meeting might be with a friend of a friend who might have the job you are looking for. Your safest bet: If there is a job involved, put that interview guard UP and keep it UP to avoid any mistakes.</p>\n<p><b>4. You can’t over-prepare for an interview.</b> In my 30+ years of hiring, interviewing, and recruiting for other teams, and coaching, I have NEVER heard a hiring manager say, “Wow, that candidate was too prepared for my interview,” or, “No way, she was too organized and had answers to every question I asked.”</p>\n<p>The #1 measure of your job search success is the number of interviews you are getting.

Your safest bet: If there is a job involved, put that interview guard UP and keep it UP to avoid any mistakes.</p>\r\n<p><b>4. You can’t over-prepare for an interview.</b> In my 30+ years of hiring, interviewing, and recruiting for other teams, and coaching, I have NEVER heard a hiring manager say, “Wow, that candidate was too prepared for my interview,” or, “No way, she was too organized and had answers to every question I asked.”</p>\r\n<p>The #1 measure of your job search success is the number of interviews you are getting. So when you get one, make it great! </p>\r\n<p>What are some of your interview challenges?

Buy a new job search/career book, read free articles on the web, attend a seminar, and go to face-to-face networking events.</p>\r\n<p><b>Rule #2: Without a plan and a process, your actions won’t turn into results.</b> Yes, you keep sending out résumés, telling people how unhappy you are (with the hopes they come up with some job ideas), and introducing yourself on LinkedIn groups. So how’s that working for you? Run your new effort like a project. Start a binder (digital or paper), set goals, schedule your activities in your calendar, and follow through! Winging it or jumping in and out of the job search will not deliver any results.</p>\r\n<p><b>Rule #3: Play the odds game and crank up the volume. </b>You think you’re doing a lot. Double it. Then double it again. Don’t focus on that one perfect job, wait for that interview, and – maybe – network to get your application on the hiring manager’s desk. You need ten of those. Yes, you need to find ten real career opportunities, activate them by applying, networking, and following up. When one drops off, add another. Work the numbers!</p>\r\n<p>It’s a new era of career movement, both for growth within your company and for external job search.

For ladies, it can be a larger purse. Don’t walk in with your arms full, unable to shake hands, or looking disorganized.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>What <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">not</span> to bring to an interview:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Cellphone, smartphone, tablet, or any electronic device</li>\r\n<li>Music player</li>\r\n<li>Gum</li>\r\n<li>Cigarettes</li>\r\n<li>Candy</li>\r\n<li>Soda or coffee</li>\r\n<li>Laptop or tablet - not even to take notes with - unless it is requested</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p><b>Look and Sound the Part</b></p>\r\n<p><b>Interview Attire. </b>Dressing formally and appropriately sends a signal to the interviewer that you care enough to want to make a good first impression.

He did some research on the company, reread the job description, and brushed up on his top strengths and weaknesses. He was on time and did well during the interview. Until the last 15 minutes. When Susan asked, “<i>Well, Joseph, what questions do you have for me</i>?”</p>\r\n<p>Joseph displayed “crap” in the form of mistakes that sabotaged his odds of winning this job.</p>\r\n<p><b>Scenario #1:</b> He didn’t have any questions prepared. <i>Mistake!</i></p>\r\n<p><b>Solution #1:</b> Prepare your questions, write them down, and bring the piece of paper in with you to the interview.</p>\r\n<p><b>Scenario #2:</b> Joseph asked, “<i>What is the starting salary</i>?” <i>Mistake!</i></p>\r\n<p><b>Solution #2:</b> Never ever, <i>ever</i>, <b><i>ever</i></b> talk salary, even in ranges. Your mission is to get an offer in hand. Once you do, you can ask questions and possibly negotiate. Not before. Not to the human resources (HR) person, a recruiter, or to any interviewer.</p>\r\n<p><b>Scenario #3:</b> Joseph asked, “<i>Is there a training program or structured on-boarding process</i>?” <i>Mistake!</i></p>\r\n<p><b>Solution #3:</b> Think about the story or perception the interviewer is creating with your questions. Put yourself in their shoes. In this case, they may be thinking, “Wow, he needs hand-holding and may be too high-maintenance for me. I need someone who knows how to do this.” If a training program is mentioned in the job description or on the company website, then it is appropriate to ask for more insights about the structure, length, etc.</p>\r\n<p><b>Scenario #4:</b> Joseph asked, “<i>What does your division or company do</i>?” <i>Really big mistake!</i></p>\r\n<p><b>Solution #4:</b> It is still shocking how many job seekers ask this question. With the web, calling people you know, social media, and many other resources, there is no excuse like, “I didn’t have time.” By the way, in the U.S., one of my favorite resources (one that I have referred hundreds of job seekers to) is your local city’s <i>Business Journal</i>, both their online resources and the printed publication. Look up <a href=\"mailto:http://www.bizjournals.com/\">American City Business Journals</a> online.</p>\r\n<p><b>The keys to devising great questions from you <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">to</span> the interviewer are:</b></p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>How can I show a strength through the question?</li>\r\n<li>How can I convey something to the interviewer that we haven’t already covered but it’s important for them to know about me?</li>\r\n<li>How can I avoid inadvertently showing softness in a skill they need strength in?</li>\r\n<li>Is my question relevant to the interview? You are there for a purpose. Your questions should focus on helping you understand the job or the team you will be joining. For example: Don’t ask, “<i>What are Boeing’s top challenges as a company</i>?” if you are interviewing for an accounting job where the hiring manager is looking for a very specific set of skills. You’re burning up valuable time, you can read those online or in the papers, and the question is not relevant to the job unless you are interviewing for the CEO or CFO position.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p><b>Here are my favorite questions to ask in an interview:</b></p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><i>I’m very self-motivated. How will you measure my success in this position after one full year?</i></li>\r\n<li><i>The first 30 days are very important for me to meet as many team members as possible. How will you recommend I do that?</i></li>\r\n<li><i>What are the top 3 skills or experiences you are looking for that may not be mentioned in the job description? </i></li>\r\n<li><i>Of all of the people who have worked for you, what are the characteristics of those who have stood out as great performers?</i></li>\r\n<li><i>I have to admit I’m a perfectionist in some areas. What are the aspects of this position that absolutely require precision and attention to detail?</i></li>\r\n<li><i>Of all of the criteria you have outlined for this position, what are the top 3 in stack rank order? </i></li>\r\n<li><i>The position we are discussing is something I am very excited about. Can you give me feedback on how I am meeting your qualifications and if I will proceed to the next level of the hiring process?</i> (This is called “going for the close” or “asking for the order” in sales.)<i></i></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>As an experienced hiring manager and interviewer, I am impressed when a candidate brings out a piece of paper with their questions written out. Obviously, they are prepared, thoughtful and thorough. It’s even better when they write down the answers under each question! Now that’s the type of employee I need on my team. What a great example showing how that person will prepare for an important meeting.</p>\r\n<p>What are your challenges or tricks around the “Do you have any questions?” section of an interview?

Recently retired from a decade’s tenure at Microsoft as Worldwide Sales General Manager, Dana previously worked for Kodak as Vice President of Worldwide Marketing and climbed the corporate career ladder through Sea-Land, Avery Dennison, and IBM. She also helped grow a technology start-up from early stage to IPO and sale of the company.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"clear20\"> </div>\r\n<div class=\"text_right\"><img class=\"fleft\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.danamanciagli.com/wp-content/themes/Manciagli/images/bookbig.png\" width=\"178\" /><a class=\"fleft\" style=\"clear: both; width: 179px; text-align: center;\" href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Cut-Crap-Get-Search-Process/dp/1935953478/\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.danamanciagli.com/wp-content/themes/Manciagli/images/amazon.png\" /></a></p>\r\n<p>Dana has coached, interviewed, and hired thousands of job seekers. As a result, she has developed a proprietary job search and networking process. She has presented her concept at hundreds of career-centric and corporate events and is a prolific writer on the subject. Dana’s ideas and techniques are proven to be as effective for college graduates as for senior executives.</p>\r\n<p>Named a top “Women of Influence” in Seattle, Dana lives and works in Puget Sound where she serves on the Worldwide Board of Junior Achievement. She is also a breast cancer survivor, received her MBA at the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona, and speaks fluent Spanish.

Which one are you?</p>\r\n<p>The <strong>committed</strong> job seeker (both the employee searching internally in his or her own company and the person looking at new companies) is willing to block out the appropriate amount of time, put in the hard labor required, and perform at the highest quality level. Every written and spoken word — and every action — is thought through, checked and re-checked, and meets the highest standards possible.</p>\r\n<p>Here are the entry-level criteria to be considered <strong>committed</strong>:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Articulate your job goal in writing, and state it clearly to your network.</li>\r\n<li>Build your job-search tools (such as a tracking spreadsheet) and use your personal productivity technology to manage follow-up.</li>\r\n<li>Prepare your sales approach: How will you position yourself to hiring managers? What value can you offer them? How will you present yourself?</li>\r\n<li>Research positions, companies, industries, interview answers, and more.</li>\r\n<li>Network with precision follow-up. Build two-way relationships for the long term.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>The <strong>hobbyist</strong> job seeker cuts corners, believes he or she is entitled to get a job, and tends to be the victim of others’ inadequacies. His or her work is sloppy, riddled with errors, and ordinary. The hobbyist’s excuses range from, \"There is no point in doing all this research.\" to \"Why waste time on process when I should just be sending out my résumé?\"</p>\r\n<p>And, unfortunately, here are the symptoms of being a hobbyist:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\"I\'ve been applying to multiple jobs but have gotten no interviews.\" Or, \"There are no jobs out there.\"</li>\r\n<li>\"I updated my résumé and added the right keywords. That should be enough.\"</li>\r\n<li>Spending 1-5 hours per week on the job search, thinking that’s enough.</li>\r\n<li>Securing some phone interviews but not getting any face-to-face interviews.</li>\r\n<li>No organized process behind the job search. Yellow sticky notes and doodles on pieces of paper don\'t cut it.</li>\r\n<li>R.A.A. (Random Acts of Application) — applying to the wrong positions based on your background and not having a clear position goal.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>How do you move into the committed category? Here are three steps:</p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Re-boot your entire job search process from beginning to end. For example, map out your weekly job-search schedule, rewrite your job goal, and refresh your résumé.</li>\r\n<li>Stop applying and start being smart and strategic first. Execute second.</li>\r\n<li>Accept the fact that the investment at the beginning of your job search will result in a speedier and better quality outcome — and a better job!</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<p>Tell me

Dana:</h3>\r\n<div style=\"float:left;width:314px;margin-left:29px;padding-top: 19px;\">\r\n<p>Dana Manciagli has been a corporate executive for more than 30 years and has leveraged her employee hiring and management experience into that of author, blogger, keynote speaker, career coach, and global career expert.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin:0px!important;\">Dana has had a remarkable career in global sales and marketing roles in Fortune 500 corporations. Recently retired from a decade’s tenure at Microsoft as Worldwide Sales General Manager, Dana previously worked for Kodak as Vice President of Worldwide Marketing and climbed the corporate career ladder</p>\r\n<div style=\"color: #000000;float: left;font-family: Constantia;font-size: 15px;width: 578px;\"> through Sea-Land, Avery Dennison, and IBM.

As a result, she has developed a proprietary job search and networking process. She has presented her concept at hundreds of career-centric and corporate events and is a prolific writer on the subject. Dana’s ideas and techniques are proven to be as effective for college graduates as for senior executives.</p>\r\n<p>Named a top “Women of Influence” in Seattle, Dana lives and works in Puget Sound where she serves on the Worldwide Board of Junior Achievement. She is also a breast cancer conqueror, received her MBA at the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona, and speaks fluent Spanish. Dana shares her life with Mathis, is immensely proud of her two grown sons, Shane and Chad, and loves to golf and travel the world.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n','Media','','inherit','open','open','','15-revision-v1','','','2013-09-19 12:56:21','2013-09-19

Her \'Cut the Crap Job Description Profile (JD Profile) was an invaluable tool to translate a candidate\'s resume to a specific job. It was wonderful to hear job search and networking advice from a Fortune 500 executive who has reviewed thousands of candidates with diverse and global backgrounds. Dana\'s no nonsense approach with a great sense of humor made her very approachable and left the attendees feeling like they could connect with Dana outside of the seminar. And many have! I highly recommend participating in Dana Manciagli\'s \'Cut the Crap, Get a Job\' so you, too, can compete for a new job and win.\"</p>\r\n<p class=\"authour coloured\">- UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON MBA SEMINAR ORGANIZER</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"clear10\"> </div>\r\n<div class=\"mid_border\"> </div>\r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n<h3 class=\"coloured_head\">Book Dana, request a conversation or provide your address for printed materials:</h3>\r\n<p>Contact Us</p>\r\n<form id=\"contact_form\" action=\"http://www.danamanciagli.com/speaking_mail.php\" method=\"post\" name=\"contact_form\"><label class=\"label_text\">Name</label></p>\r\n<p><input class=\"form_text_box\" id=\"name\" type=\"text\" name=\"name\" value=\"Name\" onfocus=\"clear_on_focus(this,\'Name\')\" onblur=\"blur_on_focus(this,\'Name\')\" /></p>\r\n<div class=\"clear\"> </div>\r\n<p><label class=\"label_text\">Your Email</label></p>\r\n<p><input class=\"form_text_box\" id=\"contact_email\" type=\"text\" name=\"contact_email\" value=\"Your Email\" onfocus=\"clear_on_focus(this,\'Your Email\')\" onblur=\"blur_on_focus(this,\'Your Email\')\" /></p>\r\n<div class=\"clear\"> </div>\r\n<p><label class=\"label_text\">Subject</label></p>\r\n<p><input class=\"form_text_box\" id=\"subject\" type=\"text\" name=\"subject\" value=\"Subject\" onfocus=\"clear_on_focus(this,\'Subject\')\" onblur=\"blur_on_focus(this,\'Subject\')\" /></p>\r\n<div class=\"clear\"> </div>\r\n<p><label class=\"label_text\">Message</label></p>\r\n<p><textarea class=\"text_area\" id=\"message\" name=\"message\"></textarea></p>\r\n<div class=\"clear10\"> </div>\r\n<p><!--onclick=\"window.location.href=\'http://www.danamanciagli.com/mediapress/\'\"   --></p>\r\n<p><input class=\"sub_btn\" onclick=\"return validate_js();\" type=\"submit\" name=\"consubmit\" value=\"Submit\" /></p>\r\n</form>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n','Speaking-2','','publish','open','open','','speaking-2','','','2013-09-20 06:05:30','2013-09-20 06:05:30','',0,'http://www.danamanciagli.com/?page_id=3083',0,'page','',0);
