New Push Reminders to Google Calendar! (almost a Google Sync)

New Push Reminders to Google Calendar! (almost a Google Sync) We have been working on something that we hope you love. You can now push your Action Items (aka Reminders) to Google Calendar. This is not a two-way sync because we dont want all of your Google stuff on your JJ Reminders panel, and we dont want all of the Log Entries on your Google Calendar so were starting with just putting things you need to do in your job search pushing from JibberJobber to Google Calendar. Based on the feedback we get we might expand this, and if this works well well work on other calendars (outlook.com is next, I think). How do you do this? Its in beta, so its a little hidden but it only takes a few minutes to set up. Heres what we suggest: FIRST, SET UP A NEW CALENDAR IN GOOGLE On the left side of your Google Calendar (not in JibberJobber), youll see a list of your calendars. There is a plus icon (see the red number 1, below) click that to add a new calendar to your calendars (see the red number 2, below). After you click the plus icon, click New calendar from the dropdown. On the New calendar page, add your new calendar. You can see how I did it below. Now, your new calendar will show up with your other calendars That was easy! NEXT, TELL JIBBERJOBBER YOU WANT TO SEND REMINDERS TO THE NEW CALENDAR In JibberJobber, mouse over Logs and choose Send to Google Calendar (this will be put in other places later, once we are out of beta). On the next page click the button to Connect to Google Calendar. Then, Google wants to know what account you want to send to I have more than one, but I work out of my @gmail calendar. Google wants to know that you are legit, and not a bad guy or a bot, so heres one last verification just click Allow (if you chose the right account) Then, they want to know which calendar to send it to. You can see I have various calendars to choose from choose the one you just created, then click Submit. Now you are sending Reminders!! NEXT, CREATE A REMINDER IN JIBBERJOBBER TO SEE IF IT WORKED! Create a Log Entry, and then click on the Reminders tab and put a Reminders date (put something for today, in a few hours). Thats it every time you do this we queue it up and send it to the Calendar. NEXT, VERIFY THAT IT WAS SENT ON YOUR GOOGLE CALENDAR Go to your Google calendar, make sure your JibberJobber Calendar is showing, and see if it showed up. Mine looks like this (note each Calendar is color coded my JibberJobber calendar happens to be purple). Thats it! After you take a few minutes to set this up you dont have to think about it anymore. You can hide the new JibberJobber calendar from your view, if you want, or you can go into JibberJobber and disable this feature and stop sending stuff. Note that if you close something in either place it does not close it in the other place so its not doing task management (yet).   Lets see how this goes, and the feedback we get, and well decide where to go from here.

Autumn - The Most Popular Time of the Year for Employee Recognition

Autumn - The Most Popular Time of the Year for Employee Recognition With Employee Appreciation Day taking place last week, at Perkbox, we set off to uncover some of the latest trends amongst UK businesses in recognizing employees over the last 10 months. We did so by using a sample of   2,810 companies that currently use Perkbox Recognition. Amongst other things, we found that the most popular day to recognize staff since April 2018, was the 5th of October and the day where the most companies set Perkbox recognition polls, an open-ended question which employees vote on to pick a winner, was the 27th November. Indeed, Autumn seems to be recognition season! What else did we uncover, I hear you ask? Join us as we go behind the scenes of Perkbox Recognition… Recognition Habits One of the most fascinating things that we discovered from undertaking this research is how ‘employee recognition’ has been slotting into UK people’s workplace schedules. Rather than waiting until an idle Friday afternoon to recognize co-workers, our figures reveal that Mondays and Wednesdays are the days when more employees take time to recognize one another and celebrate their great work. Our research also reveals that the peak times to recognize employees is 9 am bright and early in the morning, and 5 pm just before leaving work. However, it’s apparent that no matter the day or time, recognition happens all year around. In the ten months taken into account for this research, a gobsmacking 11,837 shout-outs were made. Soft Skills reign supreme Encouragingly, the most popular recognition polls done using the Perkbox Recognition tool over the last 10 months have been those that champion soft skills, such as ‘Motivator, ‘Ray of Sunshine’ and ‘Beyond the call of Duty’. Personal attributes such as these have a harmonious effect in the workplace and often get overlooked, so it’s fantastic to see them get their due on our platform. More so because the biggest challenge with soft skills these days is that we’re not sufficiently self-aware to realize which ones we need to change and improve. Often this can’t happen without support. Recognition polls like these can help act as the platform to encourage positive change, simply by gamifying the experience. Tech leads the way Nearly 60% of those who recognize frequently are medium-sized businesses. However, out of all the industries using our platform, tech and IT (25%) and manufacturing and construction (23%) are those that really ringing the bell for recognition. That said, there are companies of all sort that are totally smashing employee recognition, month-on-month via Perkbox Recognition. Amongst these is apprenticeship training and recruitment company, Lifetime Training Ltd, which deserves a shout out for being one of the Perkbox customers that have recognized its employees the most over the last 10 months. Put simply, employee recognition has a clear role to play in bringing company values to life whilst celebrating awesome teams and people. Nowadays, there is a far stronger focus and commitment towards such practices which is clearly reflected via our research findings. Whether its setting company polls to draw attention on an outstanding team and individual efforts or rewarding and showcasing exceptional contributions from others, these practices do make a difference. So, if you’re a business leader, make sure you don’t miss out on the benefits. Hop on the employee appreciation wagon!

5 Things The Super Bowl Can Teach Us Preparation - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

5 Things The Super Bowl Can Teach Us Preparation - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career The recent Super Bowl provided some insight into the thinking that goes into a successful effort to put on an event that will be watched by an estimated 8 million people. These same tips can be applied to things we do in our every days lives too. You might be wondering … Why did I write this a week after the Super Bowl? Don’t we already know what happened? Of course, the answer is yes, we do know what happened. However, like most Super Bowl’s there is a lot of after game analysis. In this case and because we live in  the Age of Social Media we have a specific scenario to think about. One that relates to the use of Social Media to respond to something that happened during the game and one that will likely change the way advertisers and perhaps fans see the game in the future. This is really a post that aligns with the old saying about The Five P’s of Success where Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance If you missed the Super Bowl … that’s Ok. It’s basically a very, very long commercial with 20-30 minutes of action. This Super Bowl also had an extra 30 minutes of inaction when the power went out in half of the stadium. This is not to denigrate the sport of football. However, no one should ever get confused that professional football is a business. It’s a $ Billion dollar per year business all by itself. And there are billions more tied to the television rights, sponsorships and too many other ancillary things to even think about. The Super Bowl Contingent  â€" Teams, Community and Fans The Teams: The coaches for the two teams vying against each other have a singular goal … win the game. However, they have a lot of factors to consider with people, positions and personalities. Just like in life. The Community: The event organizers and the host city have a lot of things to consider including transportation, security, as well as the care  feeding of the thousands of fans flocking to the city. They also need to consider the people that LIVE in the city and the effect and impact the Big Game will have on them. This is Life … on a concentrated scale. In our everyday dealings and efforts to get things done we also need to consider a lot of conflicting factors and confounding efforts that relate to the same things the coaches and the community have to  plan and prepare for  â€¦ notably people, positions and personalities at work and socially as well as the transportation (and perhaps care feeding) of them when getting to and from work. What’s the Risk of Not Planning Failing to plan is planning to fail.” ~Benjamin Franklin What can we learn from the Super Bowl? In case you didn’t know … Super Bowl XLVII  was held in New Orleans, Louisiana on February 3rd 2013. It pitted the San Francisco 49’ers against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens won 34-31 after seemingly running away with the game in the first half. Then two very unexpected things happened. What can we take away from a Planning and Preparation effort? Below are five points the Super Bowl taught us about getting ready for the Big Game and a few things that could have been done differently.  I submit these  points can be applied to our every day lives too. #1 Plan ahead This is pretty obvious. Know your opponent. In football this is somewhat easier because so much game film exists, many of the coaches and players know each other quite well too. They may have gone to college with them,  played with them and may have coached with them too. They think they have a pretty good feel  for the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of their opponent. However, people change. Situations Change. You need to be prepared to adapt to these changes. No SWOT analysis is enough though. Football, just like any other business, can call an audible. You need to be ready to react. #2 Do the Unexpected San Francisco’s kickoff team did NOT expect someone to take a ball that was kicked to the back of the end zone  out into the field. As a result they might have relaxed a little Then realized … too late … that they were caught off-guard by the Unexpected Thing #1 that  happened next.  He weaved his way through the defenders and ran it all the way back to the other end of the field to score a touchdown (and a new Super Bowl kickoff return record). He did the unexpected and it paid off … BIG! Side Note on Predictions: Nate Silver predicted a Ravens victory if special teams was on their game. They were! #3 Expect the Unexpected Just as you need to Do the Unexpected … you also need to Expect the Unexpected. If you can come up with crazy outlier ideas … you have to assume the other guys can too. A few things that might have crossed the minds of the coaches at the event organizers before the game and a few things that probably didn’t are listed below. Zombie Apocalypse? Probably not. Sprinklers going on? Indoors? Probably not. Communications  between the coaches up in the skybox and the coaches on the field? This has a medium to high level of probability for occurring. They have a back up plan. The lights going off and delaying the game? Probably not. This is Unexpected Thing #2 Case in Point The Night the Lights went out in NOLA Did either of the teams expect the lights to go out? Did the NFL? Did stadium management? How about the TV crews? It was pretty clear the teams and NFL didnt expect it. It was painfully clear the TV announcers didnt as they were comically befuddled looking for things to say. I’m sure there will be a few blooper reels made from the comedy gems spouted by the TV personalities. The stadium management knew what to do to get the lights back, but who is to say if they could have predicted the surge followed by such a significant blackout. #4 Get your War Room ready Do this Before You Need It. Think about  contingencies. Consider  What-if scenarios. Evaluate and plan for If-Then-Else conditions. Put some thought to Doing the Unexpected and Expecting the Unexpected. Just like Oreo did with their “You can still dunk in the dark” advertisement and tweet. Caveats and Things to Consider  â€" Did the Unexpected Work? Have you bought any Oreo’s since the Super Bowl? How about any Doritos? Or any sports memorabilia from your team? I’m curious if the great buzz created a comparable uptick in sales activity Oreo and others that took advantage of the blackout. This will be the real key for future advertiser interest. #5 Maintain your focus When the unexpected happens … and it will. Kick Plan B into gear. If needed kick Plan C, D and E into gear. Your planning will enable you to keep your focus on what’s important. Have a contingency plan. Go through scenarios that came up in the War Room and see how they can be applied. For example, when the lights went off in the stadium: Did either of the teams on the field have a plan? Did the NFL? Did the event organizers? Did the marketeers? I think a few did … Think Oreo. Fourth Down is Your Secret Weapon In football fourth down usually means one of the “Special Teams”   units come onto the field.   Where they might  punt, attempt to kick a field goal, or they could fake it (Think Do The Unexpected). Similarly the other team puts their special teams unit out there too where they ostensibly want to block a punt or kick or as usually happens they need put the effort together to return a punt off a kickoff.   However, they also have the chance to Do the Unexpected … they can  lateral the ball to another player, they can run a  hook and ladder play or they can just have a fast runner that tries to thread the needle to run the ball all the way back. The point is … there is a lot of room for calling an audible and adding creativity to the game. This is a chance for the offense to try and outwit the defense. The Super Bowl is a metaphor for life. These five points arent exactly secrets. In fact, I hope these are some of the things you are already doing today. If you are doing some of them great. If you are doing all of them and even have a few more creative tricks up your sleeve then   Good on ya! My goal with this post was to highlight a few ideas for approaching problems and challenges in a direct and pre-planned manner. While it’s not likely you’ll  envision every possible scenario it’s worth the time and energy to think ahead to get ahead. I think these  skills can be used by people searching for their first or next job. I also think these tips can be used to hone and show your leadership and creativity and to encourage those you work with to think about these points when they are putting together the next big pitch for the boss or for a customer.

What is the Best Thing Recruiters Can Do on Social Media

What is the Best Thing Recruiters Can Do on Social Media While there is no right or wrong way of using social media for recruiting (well, it depends on who you ask) there are certainly some really good things you can do if you get it right. This week our expert panel share what they think are some of the best tips of using social media to ensuring you get the most out of your talent search. Ariel Jolo Listen and learn. Thats it. . . Ariel Jolo,  Global Employer Brand Manager, at Medallia. Adrian Cernat There are some best practices who turn your social media efforts into top notch strategies some of them would be: highlight the value proposition for employees, show how a day in your company looks like, promote your culture, be genuine, honest and transparent respond to both positive and negative feedback. Adrian Daniel Cernat, CEO co-founder SmartDreamers Sarang Brahme Connect and engage with potential candidates to build relationships for the long term; even if they   potential candidates do not fit for a current role. People will always remember how you made them feel rather than ignoring them. Also, connect with your business teams, industry leaders and leverage their network to spread the word. Sarang Brahme, Global Social Recruiting Talent Brand Manager, Capgemini. Carmen Collins Learn to be a storyteller. Don’t just SAY your company is a great place to work, tell us why. Storytelling means there’s a human connection, a “hook” and a follow up. . Carmen Collins, Social Media Talent Brand Lead, Cisco. Cameron Brain Focus on the relationship!   One of the key learnings we’ve had from working with our clients over the years is that it’s not about the content you share, it’s about the engagement you generate.   Yes you may be trying to recruit someone, but if you can progress your relationship with them because you shared some content about a mutual interest (e.g., a local sports team, family experience, etc.) that’s exactly what you should be doing.   The internet is full of robots, don’t fall into the trap of being one yourself. Be you (human)! Cameron Brain, CEO Co-Founder, EveryoneSocial.com. Mark Cavanagh Any recruiter can post on social media â€" it’s free! The key to successful social media is relevance, consistency and engagement. Think about your audience, if you’re recruiting for c-suite executives they’re likely to be less engaged with a post or InMail about the office dog and more engaged with messages providing credible insight or relevant job opportunities. Being consistent, does not mean being dull, by using a range of mediums (video, images, audio or a competitive element) to deliver your content regardless of topic, recruiters are able to better spark the interest of the talent within their network, encourage engagement and ultimately convert a connection into a potentially placeable candidate. Mark Cavanagh, Marketing Manager at The One Group. Victoria Sorense It is time to get into Video, visual presentations are far more powerful that posting a link to a job. . Victoria Sorenson , Senior Talent Advisor, Oracle. Othamar Gama Filho Consistency, be active, share relevant content, respond to candidates that talk to you when you are not hiring, so when you do have an open vacancy they will be more likely to respond and also to refer you to their friends Othamar Gama Filho, CEO at Talentify. Stephanie Scher The best thing a recruiter can do well on social is to be present, have a well thought out profile and share a variety of relevant content to their audience, not just job postings. They should also make time daily, or regularly, to log in and respond to any engagement or DMs so their followers feel that it’s a viable communication channel. Stephanie Scher, Talent Brand|Social Media, Vanguard. Eva Baluchova Social media can give your audience a feeling of personal interaction. Through these interactions, you can demonstrate that you are an expert in your field. Give your audience what they want knowledge, insights, entertainment, advice to enhance their skills or career. Comment, share, reshare, like and post! Workplace pictures, infographics, employee stories, testimonials. Use Facebook videos, Instagram stories. Use the right hashtags. Be regular and be consistent! Remember: the timing of your posts is important. Think about the time of the day when people are probably reading. Ask yourself, when do you tune into your social media? In the morning while eating breakfast, lunchtime, toilet time, after the kids are in bed, etc.? Eva Baluchova, Talent Lead, Levelup Ventures.

5 incredible new ways to upgrade your lecture notes

5 incredible new ways to upgrade your lecture notes This post was written by an external contributor. Here are some  ?????? ways to improve your drab and boring lecture notes from Brenda   As much as we hate to say it, freshers week is o-v-e-r. Like it or not, it’s time to put pen to paper and get stuck in with some serious learning. Lectures and seminars can be a difficult style of teaching to adapt to. Lucky for you, we’ve got some clever hacks that’ll help you upgrade your lecture notes in style. Use the Cornell Method Credit: Tumblr   You know a note-taking method is good when it’s endorsed by one of the best universities in the world. Created by Cornell University education professor Walter Pauk in the 1950s, the Cornell Method is designed to help you organise your notes more effectively. You divide your note-taking paper into three sections. A narrow vertical column on the left, a wider vertical column on the right, and a horizontal column on the bottom. The wide column on the right is your note-taking column. The left column is your ‘questions’ or ‘cue’ column. The bottom column is your space to summarise the lecture. The Cornell Method is definitely one to get used to, but can be extremely helpful. For more information, the WikiHow page on the subject is very thorough. Colour code your notes Credit: Pinterest It isn’t enough to cover your notes in pretty highlighter and be done with it. A proper colour code for your notes will help them look more visually interesting. This will help your brain absorb information better, and recall it at important times (like exams). We’ve got a few colour-coding tips that’ll help prevent your notes looking like a colour explosion. Firstly, use a legend. This is where you assign a label to each colour so you can find all the key points related to the label. Secondly, limit the colours you use. Instead of going the rainbow route, try getting a set of pens in different shades of blue instead. It’ll make it much easier to read. Thirdly, if you’re taking notes on your computer, try different colour schemes for different subjects. We love Coolors for their fantastic colour scheme generator. Use the three-pronged note-taking approach: before, during and after Credit: Pinterest The bad news is you can’t expect to rock up to your lectures and have notes magically appear. Uni is seriously hard work, and the more you put into it, the more you get out. The good news is, with a little bit of extra work before and after a lecture, you’ll go a long way. Before you head to a seminar or lecture, read and highlight the lecture slides. No doubt this will result in a TON of questions that’ll need answering. This will help you focus on filling in those knowledge blanks during the lecture. After the class, take time to construct a summary sheet of the lecture. If you do this every time, you’ll end up with a full year’s worth of notes by the end. This means you’ll be doing a lot less cramming come exam season. 4.     Write your notes like you’re writing down the answers to potential exam questions Credit: Pinterest A great way to start preparing for third term is to write your notes like you’re answering an exam question. You don’t have to write entire essays in response (if you do, kudos to you!) But you can write down an outline with key bits of information. Usually, your course will have a bank of past exam questions you can grab inspiration from. If not, you could ask your lecturer for some. Go online for some serious notes inspo Credit: Tumblr If you haven’t heard of the ‘studyblr’ trend, you’re in for a treat. Apparently, taking visually amazing lecture notes is now cool if you’re on the Internet. Who would have thunk it? Head over to Instagram, Tumblr or Pinterest and search for ‘studyblr’. If you’re on Tumblr, you could be lucky and stumble on a studyblr ‘masterpost’. This is where the brilliant people of Tumblr compile libraries of resources for the students who come their way. So, go forth, make notes, and get learnin’ pals! You got this. Connect with Debut on  Facebook,  Twitter,  and  LinkedIn  for more careers insights.

Launching Your Job Search - Job Search 101 - CareerAlley

Launching Your Job Search - Job Search 101 - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners.1 Welcome to CareerAlleys Job Search 101 series, specifically focused for those who are launching a job search for the first time (or those that need some great advice). Over the course of this series, we plan to cover the following job search basics to get you started: General Advice Posting Job Search website links (with brief reviews) Posting headhunter / Executive Search website links Tools and Templates There are five basic types of job searchers: Not Happy People who are not happy with their compensation, dont like what they are doing, dont like their manager, are past due on a promotion, or just dont like their company. Worried People who are worried about their company (may not survive, may be taken over, etc.), worried about their job (potential job cuts), worried about their industry, etc. Career Change People who have just finished a degree (while working), people who want to make a career change or all of the above. Not Currently Looking People who are not actually looking to make a change, but get offered a new opportunity (through a headhunter or a friend) Job Loss People lose their jobs all the time for various reasons: Company downsizing, job elimination, takeovers/mergers, Company bankruptcy or poor performance. Job Search Websites: Not all job search websites are created equal. Some allow resume posting, job search tools and general advise while others offer fee based services and appear to be job search sites. My general view is that you can get everything you need for your job search without paying a fee, but this is a personal choice and may be driven by the need for specialized help. However, if you are creative and diligent you can find everything you need by leveraging the web, family and friends (and of course, CareerAlley). Sometimes it feels like there is an endless number of job search websites (many of which are a waste of time). Ive listed below a very brief overview of two popular job search sites with very different styles to get you started. There will be a more focused job search site article in a future posts. Every site is different, although most of them have the basics (which Ive listed below, so you may want to refer back to this in later posts). There are too many options to list them all. What to look for on a Job Search Site: Resume Posting: Many sites allow 1 or more resumes to be posted. Sometimes there are options to build your resume online, upload a Word doc or cut and paste your resume into their form (depending on the site). Privacy: A Privacy option (which allows you to block companies) can be very useful. Blocked companies either be companies that you dont want to work for or your current employer (the last thing you want is for your name to come up in a search by your current employer!). Job Search: The job search function allows you to narrow your job search to certain criteria (varies from site to site). Some also allow you to save 1 or more searches (with a number of options). This allows you to quickly run searches for specifics (as decided by you). Job Match Notification: Most sites will send an email to you with the results of your searches (but dont flood your email with so many that you are overwhelmed). Linked Application: This is the ability to apply directly for the job opportunity. This is typically a link to the companys career site and will save you time. Other Stuff: Some sites offer career advise, resume building techniques, samples of resumes, samples of cover letters, etc. Some free, some not. Monster.com The grandfather (sorry Monster) of all job search websites. One of the first useful job search sites, Monster has spent a lot of time and effort to evolve with the fast changing job search resource landscape (including buying up their main competitor at the time Hotjobs). Monster is one of the more popular job search sites and their homepage looks more like a job advice site than a dedicated job search site. A brief overview: Resume Posting: This free service allows up to 5 resumes to be posted. You can build your resume online, upload a Word doc or cut and paste your resume into their form. Privacy: There is a Privacy option which allows you to block companies. Job Search: The job search function in Monster is very good. You can save up to 5 searches. Email notification is available. Job Search Advice: Lots of stuff to help you in your search. Indeed.com Indeed has what I call a minimalist homepage which allows you to focus on the task at hand (job search!). A brief overview: Job Search: Powerful filters allow you to narrow your search to those opportunities that best meet your criterial. You can save searches and create job alerts which will send an email based on your criteria. Lots of choices on narrowing your search. Resume Posting: This site also allows up resumes to be posted. You can build your resume online, upload a Word doc or cut and paste your resume into their form. Privacy: There is a Privacy option which allows you to block companies.

Format PPT on Writing Resume

Format PPT on Writing ResumeWhen choosing the format for your PPT on writing resume, be sure to follow some basic guidelines. Always start with a picture to illustrate the type of experience you have. Then continue with relevant content for each section of the resume.For each section of the resume, the first thing to write in the body of the title page is your name and contact information. Include a contact number and a job title. It's not necessary to include your work experience under your name. This is why a good format is to use your name or a title under your company name.The second section of the resume should start with your education and skills. Whether you received your undergraduate degree from Harvard or your first-year degree from an online program, you can add this experience. In addition, be sure to include your leadership experience. Again, the best way to format these sections is under your company name.You'll have to choose what sort of skills to include. If you're a pplying for a higher level position that requires knowledge of programming languages, it might be a good idea to include those skills. If you're applying for a lower level position, such as an administrative assistant, then it would be a good idea to focus on your writing, customer service, problem solving, and other work experience related to those specific job duties.Be sure to include any additional information and skills you possess. If you've been working in sales for five years, then it's appropriate to include sales experience under your name. On the other hand, if you've been in sales for six years, then you'll want to include that as well.
