But that time I didn’t know I will go this far in this line.Me:  Winning this crown was an opportunity for you or is it your dream and desire of your childhood?Steffi: It was a desire. In 2010 when I got the chance for a photo shoot of a great platform like Lakme a strong desire came in me to move ahead in this field.Me: Out of 200 contestants, you got selected in top 20 and then in top 10 and finally you won the crown. Can you tell us about the grooming session?Steffi: The day when the top 20’s got selected, that day morning we were called there and people out there were telling us many inspiring things to boost us up.

Resume Writing Tips - The Importance of Handouts

Resume Writing Tips - The Importance of HandoutsIn a world of resume writing tips and tricks, nothing is easier than handouts. After all, without the ability to read people, you can't communicate effectively. Handouts are so much easier because they are made specifically for a human reader, so you can read and respond at the same time.Your resume and cover letter needs to be the only materials provided to a potential employer, and that is your only chance of making a good impression. You do not want to look like you're trying to make it to the next round. People will notice the fact that you're trying to sell yourself on paper, but if you leave it up to them, they won't take you seriously. This is where having a handout or two provides the opportunity to be better than any other form of communication.Now there is nothing wrong with using handouts to prepare for a job interview. If the timing is right, handouts can be quite effective at giving you the details you need to give a great presentation. Your future employer will see what you are passionate about, what your interests are, and the kind of work you are looking for. You may even have some things you are willing to share that others might not know about, which could really help. If the timing is right, you will also come across as organized and prepared.Of course, you may not want to give away all of the things you are working on. The best way to keep things interesting is to provide several different things you are researching for or already have. Have a handout or two that show you have done a little bit of research about each topic. With such handouts, you can relate your information to previous work that you have done in that field. Using this method, you can impress the reader, and they will give you the benefit of your research as well.If you get them excited about what you are doing for them, it will help your resume appear more polished and professional to the potential employer. Just because you h ad a handout, does not mean it cannot be an impressive resume. A handout can be as impressive as a resume if it is designed properly. It is not always enough to simply have a handout or two; the content and the tone should be just as impressive.When you find the right handout, it will take some imagination to come up with something exciting to use in your resume. If you have something to share, you may have to use a light-hearted, humorous style or use some colorful language. It will make it far more interesting to the reader and will not take away from the professionalism of your resume.The easiest way to keep the format of your resume well organized is to plan out each section before the writing begins. When you begin your resume writing, remember to be clear and precise in your copy, and to make sure the next paragraph you write focuses on the areas that are important to you. Once you have been assured of the level of professionalism you are achieving with your resume, your job i s only half done.If you continue to master the skill of resume writing and memorizing important information, a handout will always have the potential to add to your resume. Remember to put a little effort into your handout, and you can be sure that it will stand out as one of the most effective resume writing tips available.

Make Your Personal Brand More Powerful in 3 Easy Steps

Make Your Personal Brand More Powerful in 3 Easy Steps By, Nadene Cherry Your Personal Brand is no longer only about your career- its about everything and everyone you touch on a daily basis!  Your clients and your boss know your brand, but so do your Mother-in-Law, local barista and gym buddies.  In case it has been a while, here are 3 ways to easily update your brand: Become a Follow-Up Queen How long do you typically wait to send a follow-up note to clients after a meeting?  How about a handwritten Thank You card after a friend sent you a birthday gift?  Waste no time and make it a priority to send a note the same day.  Why?  You eliminate the task immediately and let your client or friend know your appreciation while still fresh in their minds.  Tip 2?  Order yourself stationary!  Opening a handwritten note is like opening a beautifully wrapped present- it will catch the receiver off-guard and goes farther than an email.  (Check out www.erincondren.com for fun paper goodies) Practice DOD Deed of the Day!  Move your brand above and beyond what is expected by little, easy, and FREE deeds.  Certainly you have a peer at work who works extra hard to help you out and youve been meaning to tell  her how much you appreciate it.  Write to  her boss.  What boss wouldnt want to hear about a top-performer who has exceeded  her duties?  Plus, when your buddy catches wind of your note,  she will become even more attentive to your needs.   Do you send Thank You notes to your friends or family after they have you to their home for a meal?  You should!  How about a little hand-written note JUST BECAUSE?  Surprise people and make their day.  It will make your brand. Clean Up Your Profiles Bite the bullet- Google yourself.  Did that hurt?  The truth is other people are Googling you too.  Job Interview?  Google.  You are someones new client?  Google.  Old high school or college friends?  Google.  I dont think you want a new potential client seeing your bachelorette pictures on facebook.  Use my SEE-E-O trick:  Would you want your company CEO to SEE-E-O this picture?  Exactly.  Are there additional websites you are listed on but you dont want to be?  Email them and ask them to remove you.  Hey- its your brand. Its not about becoming someone else.    Its about updating to the 2.0 version of yourself  while keeping  your brand unique, thoughtful, and memorable.  Go work it!

Personal Branding Interview Steve Miller - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Interview Steve Miller - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I spoke with Steve Miller, who is a marketing consultant, speaker and blogger.   In this interview, Steve talks about what social media tools he uses for personal branding, his opinion on Twitter and its future, strategies Gen-Y should use to stand out and more. Which social media tools do you rely on to build your personal brand? Just social media? The primary tools I use, in order of importance, are blogging, video sharing (YouTube, Viddler, etc.), and Twitter. I am mildly active on LinkedIn and Facebook. I am basically a strategic marketing guy. The problem is there are about six million of us out there begging to get hired. In order to separate myself from that crowd, I decided many years ago to regularly communicate with my target market via tools like newsletters, articles, speeches, audio, and video. My goal with these was to share my voice and my thinking to the exact right people as much as possible. As you say, Dan, I was building my own personal brand. The advent of social media was like a gift from heaven. Here was an opportunity to go beyond the traditional one-way communication to an interactive dialogue with my market. I started my blog, Two Hat Marketing, in September 2006 as a replacement for my printed newsletter. Ive eventually added videos and now Twitter, which gives me a great Mix. Each is different, but the combination really allows me to show off my personality and opinions. Do you think twitter is a fad that is losing steam, or will it be bigger than facebook? I dont think its an either/or situation. I just see them both as arrows in my quiver. For years, we marketers have relied on tools like direct mail, advertising, telemarketing, teleconferencing, trade shows, newsletters, and promotions to build our brands. Then the Internet hit and all of a sudden were given a myriad of new choices text-based email, html-based email, websites, landing pages, blogs, webinars, podcasts, and now social media. Theyre just more arrows for my quiver. As a marketer its my job to find out which ones (old and new) create the best combination for communicating with my prospects and clients. Will Twitter lose steam? Probably. We saw MySpaces growth hockey stick up a short time ago. Then Facebook came charging into the picture with a slightly different model. It blew by MySpace and became the media darling. The media gets bored easily, so when something unique came along (Twitter) and a few well-known celebrities jumped on the bandwagon, it hit the flash point. The question went beyond, What are doing right now, to How many followers can you get? Now spamming is pretty normal. I think well see most of the easily-bored celebrities drop out soon and, I hope, well figure out a way to control the spammers. But Twitter is a terrific tool. I really like the way it makes me think concisely and forces me to say something interesting or valuable. My followers tell me if Im accomplishing that. I dont think Twitter is the final stop, either. Something new will come along that goes a step farther. It always does. What strategies should Gen-Y use to build their personal brand and market themselves through twitter, facebook and other sites? Heres where I get to talk about on of my strategic marketing foundational concepts. Im an advocate that the purpose of marketing is to be on the mind of the prospect when the prospect is ready to buy. This simple statement actually says a lot.   What does this have to do with personal branding? Everything. First, you must be very clear about who your prospect is. If youre answer is, Everybody needs my product/service! then my advice is dont quit your day job. Find your niche.   Second, the reason you will be on their mind is because youve shared something with them that resonates. It joins the conversation going on in their mind and also clicks as being different than every other option available. The one thing we cannot control is timing. WHEN is the prospect going to be ready to buy? We dont know. But what we can do is be top of mind when that moment comes. I often ask my audiences, When a lightning bolt strikes your prospect on the head and he goes, Aha, I NEED that product/service! does he think of you FIRST? Does he think of you SECOND? Does he think of you AT ALL? Social media sites, like Twitter and Facebook allow you to share yo urself. You can tell stories. You can write OpEd pieces. You can talk about how youve solved problems for other clients. You can survey your prospects and learn whats keeping them up a night. You can get happy clients to spread the word about what a fantastic consultant/speaker/suppliers you are.   All of these help build your brand, or even better, your myth. Tell us whats new, whats next, and whats important. What time is it? Seems like something new comes out every day now. Im not privy to any brand new tools at the moment, but I will share something I feel is really important. Obviously, your readers are concerned about their personal brands. As I mentioned above, I work hard to position myself as far away from my competition as possible. Its not enough to be a little bit different, or faster, or better. I firmly believe youve got to position yourself as delivering something that no one else can deliver. Youve got to work hard to OWN a position in the prospects mind that stands ALONE. In addition, that position must be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to copy. Clearly, this is difficult to do, but you must work hard to get there. I would also say that while you might be able to develop a particular product or service that is hard to copy. But the reality is, technology today is making easier and easier to copy. Most of the time, the way you separate yourself is through intangible differences. In my case, there are several obvious intangibles that make me different. For example, I have a set of Rules that all clients must comply with. You might argue these are easy to copy. They are not. I took ownership of this type of positioning many years ago and have made them a focal point in communications with my market. If anybody tries to copy them (and some people have), the market instantly knows they stole it from me. In every case so far, my competition has eventually dropped the imitation.   I could go on with other examples, but I hope you get the point. Dont just look for ways to make your product or service better than the competition. Look for intangible ways to be perceived in the prospects minds HOW and WHY you are different. Is your work always serious fun? How do you achieve that? The stock answer is, Of course its always serious fun! But that would be a lie. Its mostly fun. You cant get away from the crap you dont like. All you can do is minimize it.   My philosophy is that I built this business for ME. If Im not having fun most of the time, then whats the point? The rule here is: I take my clients and their problems very serious, but I dont take myself serious. However, one of the things my clients learn about me is its really difficult for me to be serious for a long time. As a result, regardless of the situation or who the client is, eventually I go off track. Im very irreverent and operate a no-spin zone. Not everybody understands or accepts this attitude, which is fine. I only want to work with people who dont mind someone who wants to kill their sacred cows.   This makes it fun for me and, in the end, better for my clients. You may also notice, this is an important part of my personal branding. Steve Miller is a student, teacher, and designated thinker of curious, forward thinking, and continually restless   organizations. He operates a virtual strategic laboratory developing practical tools for applying the concepts that flow from his research and experience. (OK, he’s a consultant.)   His clients are unquestionably elite, and in his own words, “very way cool people,” including 15 of Tradeshow Weeks Top Twenty expositions and many Fortune 0 corporations.   Steve has presented over 00 speeches, workshops, and seminars around the world. Besides his five books, he has written for, and has been featured in, over 250 publications, including Fast Company, BusinessWeek, Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Sales Marketing Management, ASAEs Association Management, PCMAs Convene, and TSEA’s ideas.

But I need your help. Would you vote for me? If you like this podcast, please vote at http://bit.ly/YourCareerAusPodAwardsOkay. So lets set your intentions for career success in 2019. Because were into the new year now and you know what? I dont know if this happens to you, but usually the first month of any new year sees so many of us making New Years resolutions. Did you make yours?Theres usually a huge annual pilgrimage back to the gym.On the 5th January I headed off to the gym with great intentions of getting back into dance and aerobic fitness because, as you know, years ago I was a fitness instructor.As the years have gone by, I have lost that fitness level but I really miss dancing, so I entered a ShBam class which was so much fun and it felt great, but I couldnt walk the next day as I overdid it. After many years of marathon running and high impact aerobics and plenty of overuse, I realize that I cant do this now. I need to take it easy and set a realistic fitness goal. So my fitness goal is to power walk for 20 to 30 minutes every morning instead, and so far, so good because I dont have any injuries from that. Now what about you? I hope your fitness goals are going well for the year, but you know, when it comes to resolutions I find they tend to fall by the wayside quite quickly . And so what Id rather do and I think might be helpful for you to is to focus on INTENTIONS instead. So have you thought about your intentions for 2019?As you now, Im a career coach and I work one on one with career transition clients to guide them towards career success, and I also deliver a number of career management and career transition group workshops, plus LinkedIn training in a corporate environment. Im happy to say that setting career goals as a firm trend every time a new year arrives, and research has found that 45 percent of us will be investing in upskilling this year for career success. And 37 percent plan to be more outspoken and take control of their ambitions at work. And 16 percent of us are committed to expanding upon our professional network. So is this what youre planning as well? Id like to suggest three intentions to help you progress in your career this year. What do you think? So lets. Lets start with intention number one.Intention Number One is your learni ng potential is your earning potential. According to research by Goodhabitz, the biggest career trend tip for 2019 is personal development. However only 10 percent of organizations globally are taking on full scale projects, what does this mean for you? It means that if your organization isnt able to provide you with the training that you really want, you have to take matters into your own hands. If you want to get stuff done, really the person to rely on is you. Okay? So how are you going to get stuff done? You need to take control of your own education. Do you want support to take control of your career? I think most of you probably do. The Career Academy Online is a free membership site where you will gain access to career resources and training your personal and professional development. Its free to join. Intention Number Two. Banish self limiting beliefs and trust yourself. You know that self limiting belief that sits on your shoulder telling you, oh, you cant do it, or you don t have the experience. Oh, youre too young or youre too old. You know all of that. Lets get rid of it. High self esteem and confidence is a key component of your success, so whether you are a man or a woman, a dip in your competence level can have dramatic effects on how youre perceived out there in the marketplace and what you achieve at work.Now Im on a mission to help you to grow your belief in your ability to handle lifes little and big challenges by assisting you to become resilient.Ive gone through so many tough things in life and some of you may already know that, you know, over over three year period I went through just about every one of lifes major challenges and stressors, including a country move, a divorce, financial concerns, having to find another job all around the same time period and my stress level was so high that I honestly didnt know how I would be able to handle it, but I learned to develop resilience. Despite the knock backs that I experienced, I thought, no, Im not going to let it beat me. Weve all, we all experienced knockbacks, and Ive had plenty in my life but its how we deal with those setbacks that form our character, setbacks are character building and every setback, look at it as an opportunity to develop resilience. To help you bounce back you can explore an online program that Ive created for you called How to Build Confidence in The Careers Academy Online. Intention Number Three is to build your network because it is your net worth. The people you know, the tribe you build around you who lift you up, are the people will help you to be successful in your career, and when people hear the word network, I know that word networking causes many of my clients to to cringe, but only initially. Networking is, and this is important to remember: building genuine relationships. Its not selling, its not pitching. Its the opportunity to get to know another person. Remember how good it feels to make a new friend. Do you remember the last ti me you made a new friend? You must develop mutual trust and respect for each other that always takes a bit of time, doesnt it? And then, and only then, may career and business opportunities arise out of that relationship. You know, we like to deal with people that we know, like, and trust. So when youre networking, just thinking about making a friend, making a connection, see if theres a bit of synergy between you. The primary focus when youre networking is to get to know the other person, the real person behind the facade of being a professional, a very important person, right? Were all genuine human beings, so why not? Lets get to know each other. Human being to human being. We all have the same worries, the same concerns. We all have self limiting beliefs. I know I certainly have them, but over the years, having developed resilience, if my self limiting beliefs start to rear their ugly heads, I just say stop it and get on with stuff. I read this book by Mel Robbins. I can highly recommend it. Its called The 5 Second Rule. Anytime youre feeling a little worried about something and you think, oh, Im going to be talking myself out of this very quickly, use the five second rule, go: five, four, three, two, one, and DO IT! You know, like five, four, three, two, one, blast off.So if you start to think, oh, Im wavering a little bit and I really want to go and introduce myself to someone, but the more you think about it, the less likely youre going to do it. Just say to yourself, five, four, three, two, one, and then just do it. I do this when Im lying in bed in the morning and Im supposed to go and have my power walk. I can easily say, Ill just hit the snooze button again, or rollover and have a little bit more sleep. But if I say to myself, five, four, three, two, one, and leap out of bed, its more likely that Im going to get that power walk over and done with. So far its working. So lets think about what were going to do when it comes to networking. Just want t o tell you about #LinkedInLocalSydney events.Theyre so popular. Ive been co hosting them with the lovely Jillian Bullock for over a year now. We hold them every month and at our events you can be the star of the show. However, the focus is on making authentic connections and a warm and friendly environment. We always tell people no schmoozing. No selling, no pitching, just come make some friends. So if you want to know when the next events are on, follow me on Linkedin because I always post when the next ones are on. Weve got one on the 30th of January and then after that therell be one on the 26th February. Expanding your network online. Its a wonderful thing, isnt it? Linkedins great. And then taking those online connections offline is what solidifies the relationship. So combining both is the perfect way to fulfill the third intention, which is your network is your net worth and youre going to expand your net network this year. Id love to hear how you so so post a comment and tel l me how youre going with it. Just a reminder about my Group Mastermind Sessions which will be held once a month.So anyone who registers to join the mastermind can send me their questions in advance and Ill answer them during our mastermind session. They are on every second Monday of each month from 8:00 to 9:00 PM. Im excited for our inaugural group mastermind.

Carve Out the Time for Your Dream Job - Hallie Crawford

Carve Out the Time for Your Dream Job One of the first things I ask a client is, “On a scale of one to ten, how committed are you to finding your dream job?” If the answer is anything less than a ten, we discuss why, and how we can move it up. The reason is that if you don’t carve out the time to make this transition a priority in your life it will never happen. I’ve had several people say they were committed, start the process, and a month into it not make as much progress as they wanted. They allowed other things to get in the way: their current jobs, hobbies, family commitments. Having hobbies outside work is fabulous and important to creating a balanced life. Spending time with family is a good thing! However, when you’re in career transition, if you truly want to be successful, you must make some sacrifices to make the change. The transition doesn’t last forever so ask yourself, “What do I need to say ‘No’ to in order to say ‘Yes’ to a career I love?” Often the time to work on a career change occurs in unusual ways. Lydia complained for weeks that she hadn’t been able to devote the time to her career change and, as a result, was making little progress. “I’m too tired when I get home from work,” she told me. “And it just feels like one more obligation.” I knew that Lydia took the train to her office, so I suggested that she do the work on her morning commute when she was rested. This simple step of finding a way to fit in the time made a huge difference; and Lydia went from doing no work in our workbook to spending three hours a week on her dream career. “I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this myself,” she said. “It was so simple.” David also started with a bang, making great progress towards clarifying his career direction. He even had created a list of possible career ideas to research. But then he slowed down. One week he said, “Work’s just been so busy.” I told him I understood, and then asked, “If you are still in the same job in six months and haven’t made progress towards another career, how will you feel?” “Not so good,” he replied. So we sat down, talked about his list of career ideas, and started to cut some of them. We created a schedule for his research. Preparing for a career change is like any other big project. It gets done in small, steady steps over time. Action step: Review your weekly calendar and decide when you can find time to work on your career change. Is it early Saturday morning for one hour before the kids get up? Or do you want to use some of your lunch hour away from the office to go to a coffee shop with your computer and work? Allot forty minutes on two different days this week for your career transition. Make it a recurring appointment. HallieCrawford.com was founded by certified career coach, speaker and author .
