JibberJobber An Entrepreneurs CRM

JibberJobber An Entrepreneurs CRM JibberJobber will never be a fully-loaded CRM, with all the bells and whistles and processes and such.   But it is a terrific relationship management tool no doubt about that.   You may think of it as a job hunt organizer, but Ive used it for three years as my entrepreneur CRM.   So I was very pleased to get feedback from another entrepreneur who has seen value in JibberJobber in just a short period of time (yeah, three days!).   This is from Rob Llewellyn, in Europe (I tried to highlight and italicize the good stuff but that was pretty much every line this speaks to my heart!): I’m an Independent Programme Manager based in Central Europe with a good network across Europe the Middle East where I do all my work. I’ve been lucky enough to rely on less than 5% of that network for all my work (6-12 month contracts) in recent years. I have a niche LinkedIn network of around 766 but it gets messy trying to work it AND stay organised AND do the contract search work AND remember in 6 months time what I last spoke to Fred Blogs about. Sure I remember the high profile conversations but not the lower priority ones. The market is lean now and advertised work (that is, posted jobs) is massively over-applied to. So I need to WORK 100% of my network as opposed to 5% of it. I’ve always focused on building a network, but it suddenly dawned on me that I don’t take advantage of what I’ve built over many years. I was searching Google “how to approach your network for work” and I stumbled across JibberJobber (JJ) again and I’ve taken the trial. On day one I imported my 766 contacts from LinkedIn, updated old email addresses of people who don’t keep their LinkedIn profile up to date, organised some of the major companies in my network and started filling out other fields in each record. On day two I exported most of the contacts to a CSV file and imported them to my mailing program “GroupMail”. Then I mailed out to my network, personalising each email with the insert field option in GroupMail. On day three I was overwhelmed with the response from my network and have spent the day writing personally to each person who wrote to me and subsequently increasing the ranking of our relationship, in some cases helping some of those people in their circumstances. That done, I can now update JJ and keep on top of my networking far better, especially as my network is quite large. I didn’t write to my network blatantly asking for an assignment. I had something useful to tell my contacts (it was about my blog www.consult-llewellyn.com) and I could also refer to the fact that as of next month I’ll be available for a new assignment. Being an independent, I never cease looking for new opportunities. JJ is a tool that I can use to help me manage my ongoing personal marketing efforts in the months and years ahead. I’m still only on day three of my trial and the tool has helped me considerably. The excellent video tutorials helped me get to grips with the tool in no time and I shall be upgrading before the trial is up. Rob Llewellyn Rob, thanks for the really good feedback my ego is stroked and the idea that JibberJobber is much more than a job search tool has been justified!

Startup Coach Career Profile Devesh Dwivedi - VocationVillage

Startup Coach Career Profile Devesh Dwivedi - VocationVillage A startup coach can help you make your entrepreneurial launch happen faster and with more success. VocationVillage.com interviewed Devesh Dwivedi, Chief Entrepreneur, Business Coach, Consultant, and Author of Breaking The 9 To 5 Jail.Hello, Devesh Dwivedi. Please tell us more about what you do.I’m an entrepreneur and I wear many hats a strategist, a coach, a consultant, an advisor, a blogger, an author, a friend, a helper, a connector and many more. To answer the question of what I do : I help cubicle imprisoned aspiring entrepreneurs in breaking the 9 to 5 jail and starting their own business. . How would you describe the main responsibilities of your work and what does a typical day look like for you?Coaching and helping the aspiring entrepreneurs plan and execute their employee to entrepreneur transition is a big responsibility. I’m responsible for motivating them when they are down and showing them a direction when they feel lost, brainstorming never ending ideas and everything in between. I write and talk a lot; I guess that’s what all of us bloggers, authors and coaches do. It’s fun and fortunate that I do not have a typical day, depending on priorities, schedule and what I feel like doing I could be doing a bunch of activities on any given day. My day starts with some java and breakfast for my brain by reading news and blogs that I follow, I would then either have a coaching or consulting call/session with a client, or I write for either my own blog or as a guest for other blogs to which I contribute. I also spend a major fraction of my time on social media and networking platforms and communicating with current and former clients. To tell you the truth, I do not work on Mondays and I have renamed them on my calendar and schedule as Funday. Now I run errands, do personal stuff or golf or do whatever I want on Monday, I’ve not had a single case of the Mondays in the last year and half.What do you like best about your career?The fact that I do what I love to do and that I’m surrounded with passionate, intelligent and optimistic entrepreneurs all the time is what I love the most. To see clients succeed is an awesome feeling. Starting a business could be compared with birthing and raising a child and everyone knows what an awesome feeling it is to be a father or mother. It’s even more awesome if you’re the guy who helps the parents from the conception until the delivery and they keep coming back showing off how well the child is doing and asking for more advice raising that kid going forward.How did you build your current company?I boo tstrapped it. What started as a small ning group took shape as a full fledged blog, a forum and a niche consulting practice. I personally learned and continue learning so much from every clients and contacts who were a part of this initiative.What was your professional and educational background before you launched your company?I’ve been an entrepreneur since my childhood; I started a comic book rental company when I was 14 and then an event management company when I was 20. I did graduate with an accounting degree and later on finished my MBA with near perfect GPA at SUNY Oswego. I worked for multiple Fortune 50 companies in corporate America, only to realize I was not cut out for it. I also ran a small business consulting company where I was helping small business owners with all sorts of business issues ranging from web technology to marketing, before launching this business.If a mid-career professional decided he/she wanted to make a career change into entrepreneurship, what a re the steps he/she should take to make a successful transition?I stay away from giving generic advice on how to make an employee to entrepreneur transition and that’s simply because each one of us has a unique life story, a unique situation in terms of finances, stage of life, priorities, interests and passion. For instance my approach to coaching and the strategy that we will build together for a young, single, early career professional to start a business would be totally different from the approach and strategy for a single parent, mid career executive who wants to start a business and that one would be totally different from how I would help a near retirement executive who is looking for a second career just to keep him/herself busy. However, there are three tips that I’d like to offer to almost anyone and everyone:Your business idea should be located at the intersection of (a) Your skills and strengths, (b) Something you always wanted to do, or love to do, and (c) An exist ing problem or gap in a product or service.Do NOT write a 100 page business plan; write an action plan instead. Could, should, or would do, don’t get results; action steps do. Write a precise and actionable plan and use it throughout your journey, and don’t just decorate your office shelves/desk with that plan.And finally, my favorite, the success equation: SucceeSS = Step out of your comfort zone (enough said), Sow the seeds of opportunity (do one activity everyday, that will pay you in the future) and Seize the moment (keep a close eye on opportunities and acknowledge, accept, and attack the opportunities to make the best use of them, when they show up).Are there any commonly held misperceptions about entrepreneurship that you would like to clarify?Well, there are many. Everyone has one or many. Some think you have to be lucky or rich to be an entrepreneur, some think it’s for those who are unemployed, some think it’s too easy and some think it’s impossible, some think y ou have to fail a certain number of times before you succeed and then the legendary misguiding stats that ninety some percent of the startups fail in the first year or two and many more similar misconceptions. Here’s what I’d like to say to everyone considering entrepreneurship â€" It is not just for rich guys and you can make yourself lucky by working hard; it’s not as easy as some of the gurus say who try to sell you their get-rich-quick eBooks but it’s not impossible as the naysayers tell you either. It is as much hard work as a full-time job so do not have commitment-related over or under expectations.And those who talk about entrepreneurial or startup failure, I have one simple question for them : How many people do you know that have changed jobs, got fired, or were let go within a year or two of starting that job? The answer of course is almost every one of us or someone around us has been a victim of one such mishap. Does that make us failures? Does it mean we should give up on having a job or even going to an interview? Of course the answer is no. It’s precisely the same with entrepreneurship; if you fail, you’ll get up, walk off the failure, learn a lesson, move on. So, please do not let the fear of failure stop you from pursuing your dream.What are your long-term career goals?My long term goal is to free as many cubicle prisoners as I possibly can and to establish myself as a subject matter expert in the startup and small business space.Any other comments?I’d love to invite all the readers to take a look at BreakingThe9to5Jail.com  as I’m always looking for constructive criticism and feedback and if there’s anything I can help you with, I’d be more than happy to do so. You can reach me via email to Devesh Dwivedi.. Read more career profiles. .

Interview nerves- what can you do University of Manchester Careers Blog

Interview nerves- what can you do University of Manchester Careers Blog Are you anxious about an upcoming interview? Do you think your nerves have held you back at interview on previous occasions? Everyone has been there. I certainly have been there. And you know what? We’re not alone. You might have heard of the recent “car crash interview” delivered on radio by the Green Party Leader. Ok it was on the radio but it’s not that different from what we go through at a job interview. When asked to explain how she would deliver some of her party’s main policies she stuttered and went silent for long periods of time. She later admitted that her mind went blank. Is this familiar? First let’s get one thing clear: it is normal to be nervous/anxious before/during an interview. Actually it is a healthy response to an important life event and can help you to keep sharp and focused if it is in the right dose. Many things can happen at interviews that are out of your control. I remember this interview I attended a few years ago â€" when I entered the room I found out the panel included four interviewers plus two more on Skype from Russia. I had not been told this in advance and I was already feeling a little anxious to start with. One of the interviewers, who was just across me on the table, never made eye contact. In fact, he kept his eyes down on a notebook all the time while scribbling and never talked to me. The Skype connection was not good and I kept being interrupted by the call breaking up. Was I rattled by it? Of course I was. Those were 30 excruciating minutes! I couldn’t gather my thoughts, couldn’t remember my well thought examples of a time when I had done this or that. All I could think of was why was that person ignoring me was that deliberate to unsettle me? Had he already decided I wasn’t suitable for the job? This interviewer was probably just taking notes but I di dn’t think of that then and the more I dwelt on it more nervous and distracted I felt. Needless to say I didn’t get the job. And how do you move on from a disastrous interview? You just do. You reflect on what went wrong and why and focus on what you can do to make it better next time. For all the bizarre things that are out of your control, there are equally many that you can do to prepare and settle your nerves. What can you do Prepare, prepare, prepare. Research the company thoroughly. Write down the answers to likely questions and then say them out loud. This will help you to organise your thoughts and also to remember. Are you dreading a particular question? Then work on it, think it through and prepare an appropriate answer. If you are not sure how to do this you can always ask us at the Careers Service for advice. You can also have a simulation interview with a careers consultant. Prepare in advance not only your answers but also other mundane aspects like “what am I going to wear?” and “how am I going to get to the interview place?” Don’t leave these details to the last minute. Get a good nights sleep. Eat something even if your stomach is turning with anxiety. Your brain needs fuel to work properly and you don’t want to faint during the interview. Take deep breaths. Once you get there, find a quiet place and take a few deep breaths. This will help you to relax and calm down. Shake your interviewer’s hand with confidence while making eye contact. Keep in mind that you are on the shortlist. These people want to meet you, are interested in what you have to say and that’s why they have invited you for an interview. Consider the interview for what it is: a conversation between two or more people. And it is a two way street: they are interviewing you to decide if they want you to work with them but you are also deciding if that is the right place for you. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well. Sit slightly forward on your chair to engage with the interviewer, make yourself comfortable. Use the language you usually do but keep it professional. You can take a CV to occupy your hands and refer to if needed but don’t fiddle with it. Listen properly. Don’t try to put an answer together before you listen to the question fully. If you are not sure, it is ok to ask for clarification. You don’t need to rush into an answer. This is a conversation, remember? It’s ok to pause for a couple of seconds to gather your thoughts. If you don’t know the answer to a question stay calm. Maybe you didn’t understand the question. Ask the interviewer for clarification. If you have some knowledge about the situation tell them what you know. Or you can buy a little time by saying “That’s an interesting question. Can I consider it for a bit and get back to you later?” But if you feel you won’t be able to answer the question at all,  be honest and apologise “I’m sorry, I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to that question”. If you get a difficult question and feel you haven’t answered particularly well don’t let that set the pace for what follows. Focus on answering well the following questions. A positive attitude in such a situation will show your determination and ability to deal with pressure. If everything goes wrong, what is the worst that can happen? You won’t be offered the job and that’s it. It hurts but keep it in perspective. Don’t dwell on it. There are more jobs out there and next time you’ll be more knowledgeable. Approach the next interview with renewed enthusiasm and a positive attitude. All Applications and interviews Undergraduate Applications and interviews Interviews job hunting

You want their recommendations to reinforce your brand and the value you offer. It’s okay to let them know what points you’d like mentioned when they recommend you. More in my posts, How to Get the Best Recommendations  and Surprise Someone with a Recommendation. Write recommendations for others. People looking at their recommendations usually view profiles of those who make recommendations. Getting Busy With Groups Groups provide an opportunity to listen in on, learn from and join conversations with your network(s) and people who can help you achieve your career goals. See what groups your connections and target list of decision makers belong to by looking at their profiles. Join if theyre open Groups  and start contributing. Position yourself as an industry thought leader and subject matter expert, while rubbing elbows and staying top of mind with your target decision makers. To find Groups: Go to the search field at the top of your profile In the drop-down menu, click on Groups Enter relevant keywords Some groups are open to all and allow instant membership. For others, you may be subject to review by the group manager. When you join, elect to display the group logo on your profile. This is a good way to let people who are assessing you see that you’re an active, savvy user and to check out your Group activities. Join and begin giving value by commenting on existing discussions and starting your own. Post relevant news items that will be of interest to members. Add your own blog posts or articles to broadcast your personal brand and value proposition. Respond to Group members who need help.

Are you afraid that even having a profile at all will out that youre job hunting? Dont worry. is an accepted (and vital) part of ongoing healthy career management. Being on doesnt mean youre looking for a job. But having a strong profile is one of the best passive search tools. Recruiters will probably find you and connect with you, if you look like a good fit for jobs they’re trying to fill. You can easily optimize your profile to make it more search-friendly, without having it scream I’m looking for a job. Make sure it’s updated with your latest achievements and contributions, and clearly communicates your ROI value to your target employers. Whenever you’re about to make changes to your profile, first turn off your Activity Broadcasts (this is different from your Activity Feed described in Part 2 of this series), so your connections won’t be notified that you’ve made a change and possibly be alerted that you’re prepping your profile for a job search. To change your Activity Broadcast, go to Settings, then Turn on/off your activity broadcasts. Choose Off and remember to turn it back On (Let people know when you change your profile, make recommendations, or follow companies), once youre all finished making changes. Be careful about your contributions to Groups. Many Groups are open to public search. Dont broadcast that youre job searching here, or anywhere online or offline, especially on sites and web pages that are open to search engines. You’re probably not telling your real-life network that you’re looking, right? Don’t tell your online network either. Chances are your company’s other executives and c-suite all have a presence, and your company itself probably has a profile, too. Take a look at your co-workers’ profiles. Anything there hinting that they’re job searching? If you happen to know that any of them ARE job hunting, see how they handle it in their profiles.

10 crucial questions to ask about your job at the start of a new year - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

10 crucial questions to ask about your job at the start of a new year - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog The beginning of a new year is a great time to take stock of your work life. Were you happy or unhappy at work? What would you like to change? It?s?important to evaluate because how you feel at work has such a large influence on you at work AND at home. When you?re happy at work, you have better job performance and more career success. You also have better?health and a happier private life. Unfortunately most people look back and think exclusively in terms of what went wrong. The things they should have done. They goals they ought to have achieved. The progress that didn?t come. We gain much of our happiness?at work (and in life) by appreciating the?good things we have and do. Sure, you should also make sure to improve your circumstances and address any problems but it is just as important to be?able to appreciate the things that do work. This is hard. Negativity bias is one of the most well-established psychological phenomena and it means quite simply that our minds devote?more mental?focus and cognition to the bad than the good. Our thoughts automatically go to problems, annoyances, threats and fears but?remembering and appreciating?the good in our lives takes effort and focus. We think you can achieve much more by turning that around 180 degrees, so here?s our suggestion for a little new year?s exercise in happiness at work. Think back at your work life in 2018 and answer the following 10 questions. It works best if you take some time to think about each question and if you write down your?answers. What went really well for you at work in 2018? What did you do that you were proud of? Who did you make a difference for at work? What new skills?have you learned professionally? How have you grown and developed personally at work? Who has helped you out at work in 2018? Who have you admired professionally? Which 5 things from your work life in 2018 would you like more of in 2019? Which 5 things from your work life in 2018 would you like less of in 2019? What will you specifically do to become happier at work in 2019? Some people think that they must work hard to become successful ? and that success will make them happy. The truth is the opposite: being happy makes you more effective and successful at work. So this year, make happiness at work your #1 career goal ? because being happy at work will make you more successful in your career. And that may require some tough decisions. If you find that youre just not happy at work, maybe its time to find a new job. Fortunately, International Quit Your Crappy Job Day is just around the corner.
