Will you get that interview call? Tips on sending job applications.

Dear Friends,


How many of us are tired applying for jobs that never seem to result in interview calls and job offers? Or jobs that dont fit our skill sets? Wrong companies? Life is too short to make mistakes! And on top of that we get lazy and send out our cvs to companies & consultants, within BLANK EMAILS!! Sacrilege! That is the first cardinal sin when it comes to applying for jobs. Well, the second actually. The first one is sending it for wrong openings, to the wrong companies, etc.

Ok, lets get it into precise bullet points, shall we? So its easier to understand, and we can all keep it as a reference note.

1> Know Thyself

Firstly, pl, compulsorily, have a thorough understanding of your skills & expertise so you know what jobs you can or should apply for & which ones you shouldn't. For eg: Someone who has done Sales may want to get into Marketing & think, "I've done sales, I can do marketing...its just selling right?" Now as plausible as that sounds, the employer's job description sheet always asks for mainstream Marketing MBAs who may have experience in Market Research, ATL/BTL activities, and other marketing related experience. Someone from Advertising may have a better shot at making a transition into Marketing, but not a Sales guy. I'm not saying its impossible, you may go the proper route of doing an MBA in Marketing, getting a minimum of a year's experience as an intern in marketing with some company & then slowly & steadily climb that ladder. But when one sends out a cv for a job that doesn't suit them or their skills, the chances for any kind of a call back are zero. Hence, Know Yourself.

2> Email Subject

Sometimes, uninteresting or vague email subject headers also tend to put off employers. The right way to form an email subject could be as under:

i) Ref: Your Job Post on Xyz.com: HR Generalist with 5 yrs exp_Mumbai location (when applying for a job posting)

ii) Introduction: HR Generalist_BPO Industry_5 yrs exp_Delhi location (when freshly introducing your candidature)

iii) Referred by John Smith for the HR Generalist opening with you. (When referred by someone the company/consultant knows)

iv) HR Generalist with 5 yrs exp looking to relocate to Mumbai (for job applications from other locations)

3> Email Body

Some common mistakes people make while sending out their cvs which need to be avoided are as follows:

i) Blank email:
This is a complete no no, as a blank email is seen as pure laziness and/or lack of initiative taking in properly introducing one's candidature to the employer. Plus since these employers/consultants get more than 200-500 cvs a day, can you not guess which ones get checked & which ones get deleted?

ii)Vague information:
Some people have a habit of writing their qualities rather than skills without putting in any details about how many years they have worked, which company have they worked for, what is their current ctc, what is their reason for wanting to leave their present employer, and how soon can they join if selected, what areas or functions are they competent enough to get jobs in, etc. So if you send out a mail that goes like this, "Dear Consultant, I am a hardworking individual who has high levels of integrity & is very diligent & punctual. I've got rewards & recognitions for my work in my previous companies & have been appreciated by my seniors. I'm looking for a job that will add to my career growth & help me succeed", no points for guessing, but its going into the trash can!!

What employers WANT to see would go something like this, "Dear Consultant, I introduce myself as an individual with 8.5 yrs of strong and relevant experience in the Human Resources function with organizations like ABC, DEF & XYZ, where I am currently working, in the capacity of Manager - HR. I am an MBA in HR from the prestigious B-School, (Name of B School), Year 2007. My specialties include Learning & Development, Talent Acquisition, Comp & Ben, Payroll, Grievances Handling, PMS, Employee Engagement & OD. I'm looking to move from XYZ because they are shifting their operations to a new location & it would be impossible for me to relocate as my family is here, and hence I'm looking for a job at the earliest, I'm already serving a notice & can join any organization in 30 days at the max, although an earlier joining can be negotiated, I'm currently on an annual ctc of 10 lacs p.a (of which 1 lac is variable, pl let me know if you need any other information. Regds, John Smith (Mobile No)"

Helps to put it in the below format also for quick reference & maximum call backs as not all cvs get opened, but this is enough to make a consultant open your cv:

Mobile No:
Email:
Current Company:

Annual Ctc (Fixed+Variable breakup):
Currently Residing at location:

Hope this helps! Pl pass it around so maximum people can understand 'What Not to Do while applying for jobs'

10 Signs You're About To Get Fired

These are Boom Times, & atleast Indian Cos aren't cutting jobs, but for other reasons like being casual at work, unproductive, or even if your company isn't making much money, there still are reasons you could lose that job. Keep those ears to the ground.




1. Your Company is Sold

Tough times can mean lots of mergers and acquisitions – was your company bought out or taken over recently? Even if you’ve been told your job is safe, these kinds of corporate moves always mean the deck will be shuffled, so make sure you hold you cards firmly. Make a list of your accomplishments and contributions, and be ready to give a sales pitch on your worth to the company should you be called in by your boss or a consultant.

2. Pay or Benefits are Cut

Did the company’s lunchroom coffee suddenly stop being free, or worse: have your benefits been stopped? Maybe you moved to a smaller office. Everyone is tightening the belt these days, but watch for little and big signs that your company isn’t doing well. Make sure you have your resume polished, but don’t act like you’re already halfway out the door – now is the time to help add to the bottom line wherever you can. It’ll help your company, and boost your worth to it.

3. Coworkers Are Fired

Pink slips are handed out at various times in the year, but you’ve been told your job is safe. If layoffs have happened at your work, don’t be naive to think you couldn’t be next. Make sure you have your resume ready, and scope out the job market. The worst thing is to be laid off and unprepared, so be ready – just in case.

4. You’re Left Out of Meetings

There’s a management meeting you normally attend, but “someone forgot to tell you.” You’re left out of the loop when important memos are sent out, or other company decisions are made that you previously would’ve been consulted on. If this is you: get ready to hit the job hunting trail. Being discounted is like ticking clock, telling you your time in your current job is about to be up.

5. You Don’t Get Along with Your Boss

This one may be obvious, but just in case: if you and your boss aren’t getting along, your job is in jeopardy. Think about it: when he or she is asked who to give a pink slip, you’ll have a bull’s-eye on your back. If this is you, look for ways to move within your company. Not possible? Make sure no matter what, even if your Boss isn't your most favourite person in the world, you should ensure you have a good, healthy rapport with him/her, it might just save your job.

6. You’re Given a Dead-End Task

Are you counting paperclips, getting xeroxes & photocopies or are you told to do some other task that seems pointless or a dead-end or menial? You may be axed soon: being sent down a dead-end road at work is like being shoved into a corner – a sure sign your skills are not being valued. Look for ways to bring your skills back into the limelight. Volunteer for tasks that no one else wants to take on to show you’re not ready to disappear; it beats shredding paper, right?


7. Your Projects Are Stalled

Feel like all of your work is stopped in its tracks because no one seems to be interested? Watch your back: having your projects stalled out on someone’s desk is like a big neon sign, announcing that you may be fired soon. Look for projects that you can get accomplished, to show you can contribute to the company’s objectives.


8. Your have been absent a lot lately

Have you been taking it easy lately & calling in sick atleast once a week? Do you come late to work & leave early? Absenteeism is fast catching on to be on of the prime reasons for terminations these last couple of years. So make sure, aside from your privileged/sick leaves, you're right there in your chair when the Boss walks by your aisle, beaming like a new shinny penny.

9. You don't 'FIT' into the culture at work

Many of us are needles in a haystack, misfits in a group, the sore thumb that sticks out when it comes to group dynamics. Recent studies have shown that if you dont blend in with the local teams at work, your chances of being 'left out in the cold' are higher. So go for that team outing, get a new wardrobe, treat your colleagues once in a while, be friendly (not over friendly, that's just creepy!), well dressed, smelling good, on time at work, a helping team player & if your leaving the company means 3-4 more employees following in your lead, the company won't want such attrition!

10. You See Your Job Advertised

You’re scouting for a new job, and you see an ad from your company. You read the duties and realize: this is my job! If your company is looking to add to the staff, no problem, but if not, take this as a sign that you might be replaced soon. Don’t be surprised to be asked to train the new guy first – right before your pink slip lands on your desk. Start updating your resume, just in case a promotion isn’t next.

Helping the Internet Help You by Being a Networking Magnet

How To Be Accessible on Linkedin for maximizing True Reach to you & your Network



Kindergarten lesson no 1: Opportunities come knocking silently, grab them before they disappear! And indeed as I have seen over many years on Linkedin, the professionals who actually took the pains to connect with me & keep updated about the market updates & hiring updates I was giving them were far more likelier to land up with their dream jobs than people who didn't even bother making/updating their Linkedin profiles! Guys! Time to wake up. You thought brushing your teeth in the morning was important, going to college was important, studying, staying healthy, etc was important. That transitioned to making sure you have your cvs uploaded on popular and not so popular jobsites (read Naukri, Timesjobs, Monster or even newcomers Shine.com), sending your cvs to consultants randomly (that does no good I assure you, the cvs usually stay in their inboxes or get deleted) was important. No no no no. NO.




How Influential Are You: Trends change (usually for a decade at a time), & this decade has seen growing popularity among businesses for networking via the very intelligent & intuitive Linkedin.com. People are increasingly understanding what Self worth (http://klout.com/)is all about & creating & regularly updating their professional profiles on various networks for maximising their chances at reaching out to the best opportunities out there.[If you spend more time on just Facebook than Linkedin or Twitter, this note isn't for you :)] So if you don't already have a Linkedin profile, go on & make one, won't cost you nothing & will help you tons. Get some genuine recommendations from people you have actually worked with & who truly recommend you & your work, put in a decent picture that depicts your personality, keep in touch with people for work & other professional needs & you shall win the day!

What exactly is my KLOUT?


In plain ENGLISH, be Approachable & out there!

How Should I be Approachable?: For ensuring you are approachable for the best opportunities orbiting the internet right now, ensure someone doesn't have problems in accessing you. Lets consider Linkedin as a prime example.

It helps to be directly approachable on Linkedin, rather than having the need for your email address to be entered in the add box, which results in most of the people who are trying to approach you with good opportunities to look for other people who are easily accessible. This happens when you choose a privacy setting which allows only those people to add you, who know you personally or otherwise.

You can always reject add requests you dont want, keeping it to a once in a week custom, but be as accessible as you can on Linkedin, You never know the next opportunity could give a major boost to your career. There are many living testimonials of how success can be achieved using Linkedin the right way. :)


If needed, keep a separate email account for Linked in networking so your personal email account is not spammed with mails, but adding an email next to your display name, for eg. John Smith (jsmith219@hotmail.com) as your identity there will also help people approach you who cannot send direct invites anymore or who have their invite limits reached but still have a good opportunity to speak to you about.

Lets not plunder Linkedin!



Also, encourage among your peers & Linkedin contacts to use Linkedin more responsibly & not post jokes, random quotes etc, which basically brings down the main purpose the site is built for, Clean & Simple Networking! Also, try not to hit on people on Linkedin as that is seen as very unprofessional by some people and they may just remove you off their lists! ;)



More soon on effective networking!

Happy Networking! :)

Making A Successful Career - The Old School Way

My day starts with a flurry of calls, emails, texts, instant msgs & what not from clients lamenting the current situation at their companies, sky high employee attrition, non productive dead wood in the company, gossiping secretaries, stressful (and nonproductive) meetings that go on forever, and what not that basically sends the top brass flying for the necks of their immediate reportees. To which I nod along thinking what part of hell are these guys sitting in & why?!

I know a lot of people say that the Bosses were always better, the employees crisp & hardworking, ethical & stable, loyal & productive in the good ol times of the 70's & 80's & much before. These days, business expansion plans are so unrealistic at times that it takes the very last drop of blood & sweat out of the teams which have to deliver on those promises & burn outs are as common as puddles on a rainy day.

I speak to roughly around 50 to 500 people in a normal work week if there's not too much work & I have some time on my hands to listen to their woes & give my sympathies along with a few quick fix ideas that generally work well for them. About a 70 percentile of these people sound like they'd rather be doing SOMETHING ELSE. Anything else! But the job they're at. And I wonder why...when on completing 7 years in recruitment I never felt like I was in the wrong line or that I needed a 'Sabbatical'. Which is when I started taking an active interest in what was really ticking these people off! Themselves! On top of the cake that was stretched work timings, competition, not being able to count on fellow team mates for deadlines, irksome bosses, rising inflation & bad salary hikes, etc etc etc.

So..what are some qualities, attitudes & approaches to our work lives that we no longer share with our previous generation which is probably causing us to burn out faster & that too without being in a job that is satisfying?

Lets see some of them shall we? :)




1> Longer Stability in Jobs: Our predecessors in some of the most envied & satisfying careers before us were there because they chose to stick for longer periods of time with each of their employers. They perfected their learning curves with each individual employer before they moved on. A lot of people today are staying in jobs for less than 1/3rd of the time as compared to their earlier generations. Before the business is learnt & perfected & the resource becomes profitable to the company & to him/herself, he/she quits for the promise of a better package, or lesser travelling time, or sometimes just for no reason at all except they think monotony has set in with their existing jobs. I always consult with the hiring companies to make better work conditions & more transparent reporting structures to make the employee to want to stay back longer with the company & to candidates looking to job hop too soon to stay back, perfect their jobs, stabilize with their companies for at least 4-5 years per company atleast & then see the growth that comes, that is unparalleled by an MBA Degree or random jumps to higher paying companies. In the long run, stability always pays.

2> Better people relations: There was a time when relations were kept regardless of how the other person could be of use to you & those were the relations that actually worked. Today they have degenerated to rare or occasional polite pleasantries & texts/emails on special occasions which don't get me wrong, seems the best that can be done considering the work pressure everybody is under..these days. But our earlier generations have been super rapport builders, and relationships built on mutual trust, confidence & respect are always wholesome & the right place to build foundations of any kind, personal or professional.

3> Better work life balance: Maybe they had more time because the internet wasn't so rampant! But a healthy mix of activities, visiting friends or clients, sports, spending time with their families, going on company picnics, etc whatever was needed to be done to make life fuller was done. One of my fav parables about two woodcutters (http://bengtwendel.com/sharpen-your-axe/) says that taking time out helps raise productivity. Do read. :)

4> Higher Resilience, Tolerance & Adaptability: I'm sure by now this earlier generation of professionals must be feeling very good about themselves. Well you deserve to be. :) Here comes some more. One very common aspect that I have come across in professionals today who jump jobs more often than they should is a host of reasons like 'My Manager is a Prick', 'Management is promoting people who don't deserve to be promoted while Ive been with the company for 3 years & haven't got one yet' or 'My company has shifted 5 kms away from where it was & I can't travel that much' or even really trivial reasons like 'I dont like the food in my office canteen' :) Hence proved. Higher levels of adaptability & resilience helps in making successful careers because problems have always been around & they will continue to be so, its about navigating a path around them & still staying the course. If you change a job that could've been so good for you because of a manager who is painful to work with, aren't you letting him/her dictate the course of your career by leaving a good job? Yeah, think of it that way.

5> Keeping their word: One things our generation does today is play jump rope with promises. If you said you'll do it needs to mean its done. Professional success is also a by product of keeping your promises. A big example is Ratan Tata keeping his promise of introducing a car for Rs 1 lakh, well he kept his promise not considering any problems his company would face! His customers are happy.

.....Part 2 to be continued.

Keep tuned in.
