We know that times are difficult. We know that not everyone can afford to pay for support. That’s why we decided to offer many, many, many of our resources entirely, completely for free! Because at the end of the day – we are Angels who want to help! One of the examples: we’ve organized approx. 200 sessions with our network of coaches for professionals who felt overwhelmed with the pandemic – especially at the beginning.
Here are the links – feel free to share them!
Career Angels on LinkedIn – updated daily!
This tip series was prepared with the following professionals in mind:
Tip #1: Complete all details: Having a complete and searchable (or shall we say “easily findable”) LinkedIn company page is important for your employer branding strategy or for independent consultants who want to make a good first impression!
Tip #2: Grow your audience: Even if you are not in marketing, growing an audience, YOUR audience (e.g. to attract candidates or potential consulting projects) can be important – and knowing how to do that even more!
CV-19 has forced many companies to switch to the “crisis-mode” which for many meant reducing budgets and/or personnel and/or salaries. People were suddenly left without a job. How important is employer branding to you? Supporting your (future) former employees when they need it the most is the best way to show your employees and future candidates that you do care.
Paraphrasing an ad, “When in crisis mode, be yourself. Unless you are rude, then be somebody else.”
Getting no results (= job offers) after months of trying – that sounds depressing no matter the situation. Thinking that something is wrong with you might be a natural reaction – but not the appropriate one! Here are two of our best 2020 articles with real examples of experienced managers and executives struggling on the job market:
Emotions can run high when you’re looking for a job. Especially if you haven’t received any satisfying offer in a long time. It’s not only because of the market – it might be because you’re not doing enough. And even if you think you can’t do more, there is always room for improvement. Here’s the list of our best 2020 articles with real examples of experienced managers and executives struggling on the job market:
Looking for a job half-heartedly (client case)
“Executives who get there and stay suggest solutions when they present the problems.” by Malcolm Forbes
LMGTFY: Malcolm Stevenson Forbes (1919 – 1990), American entrepreneur most known as the publisher of “Forbes” magazine, founded by his father. Avid promoter of capitalism and the free market. Won the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement in 1974.
Quoting Jason Shen, “The hiring systems we built in the 20th century are failing us and causing us to miss out on people with incredible potential”. We agree. Career Angels has pioneered #HireCompetenciesNotCV – allowing i.a. candidates who would traditionally be categorized “non-standard” into our recruitment process. We hire without interviewing. More about our approach, recent developments and interesting tools and KPIs in these articles:
CVs are one of the worst tools to select candidates: Having a professional, perfect CV that clearly reflects why you should be hired should be obvious for every professional serious about their career. Unfortunately, it’s not.
How often have you been contacted by an Executive Search Consultant with a great opportunity via LinkedIn? How often have prospects asked you for a meeting or a proposal thanks to LinkedIn? If the answer is zero or “not often enough”, read the following articles!
LinkedIn User Personas – which one are you or your employees? How do you or your team members behave on LinkedIn? Do you know what influence your activity has on other users and/or your professional goal?
