Standing out at Job Faires

Standing out at a Job Faire can make a difference in your search. Job Fairs are starting to pick up, and Dice is running some nice ones, called Targeted Job Fairs. At a Silicon Valley Career Fair in early 2010, 10 companies as showing up, and Dice has 82 job fairs scheduled for this year across the United States.

How do you compete at a Job Faire? The contention can be sizeable, but you can help yourself jump out from the gang with advance homework. At AA-Careers, we have a simplified step-by-step process to get ready. Plan to go? Here’s how to prepare:

First, investigate the organizations that are going and pick your objectives. Use the web to research the companies that are there before you go. Go to their web sites and see if they have their jobs posted. Pick a limited number to target, and get ready to spend up to an hour researching each one. It’s hard to do more than nine in a day, and three or four is a much more reasonable target. For each hiring company, you want to know: recent news, key product lines, and exectuve names. Try to see if you know anyone at the target companies. You will end up with with a page or two of research for each company/job.

Second, if there are job openings on the web, read them to see what the hiring manager is looking for. Create a mapping of your achievements and skills to the demands of the job. Make the terminology match. If the hiring organization calls customers "clients", your resume should do the same thing. The achievements should be written in the style of the hiring organization.

Third, create a ‘brief sales pitch’ for each likely organization/job combination. Write down a 90 second ‘thumbnail’ that you can repeat out loud depicting why you are a key prospect for that position. You’ll use this in your resume and when you meet people at the job booth.

Fourth, modify your resume for each job type. The objective on your resume should exactly match the position you’re going after. The executive summary should be a written form of your “mini sales pitch” for the job. Then choose the accomplishments and skills that most clearly match the job description. Especially at a Job Faire, the purpose of your resume is a sales tool for you – to get you on-site job interviews. It should be a no-brainer to see that you’re a match based on your resume.

Fifth, dress and prepare as if you’re doing on-site interviews. Dress nicely and be fittingly groomed. Don’t over do-it (this isn’t a date!) and don’t underdress (no jeans or t-shirts, no matter how much you paid for them). Avoid strong cologne or perfume.

Finally, rehearse your ‘mini-sales-pitch’. Collect your research and the resume for each spot – bring a couple of copies for each – and put each in a clearly marked folder. Keep them in a light briefcase or folio.

Remember to smile, and good hunting!

Large London Office Spaces Suddenly in Demand

The real estate market seems to be on the comeback path after a long hiatus, as companies like Royal Dutch Shell and Google scout around for large office space in the City of London. The real estate market has been suffering from falling occupancy rates and rentals for over a year now, and the entry of these indicates the beginnings of a turnaround.

According to sources at Cushman and Wakefield, the real estate consultancy, Google is reportedly looking at an office space in the region of 145,000 sq ft, while oil major Shell needs around 220,000 sq ft for their London operations. In the beginning of 2009, a number of prospective buyers were looking at office space but held of due to the downward trend in the market. Serious buyers now seem to have finally made their presence felt, with the value of property set to rebound.

Take-up of offices to rent London in the third quarter of the year were almost two-thirds higher than the previous quarter, when rates hit their lowest in ten years. The new demand is likely to raise the valuations and position of a number of large real estate management firms like British Land, Land securities and Hammerson. Apart from Google and Shell, other serious buyers in the market reportedly include media publishers Centaur and insurers Aon Corp.

According to sources at C & W, rising demand for commercial property is expected to reach about 9 million sq ft in London alone, a marked rise of over 20% against the low point in January this year.

SEO – The Invention Of New Technologies

When I used to hear the words of search engine optimization I thought it sounded like a pretty clever way to say tuning up a search engine.

I’ve come to realize that the real way they should say it is search engine opportunity it is a utilizing the leveraging power of the search engines and quality information as well as abstinence one can generate a pretty substantial income while generating quality content for the Internet that all can share.

So the next time you hear the term seo think about all the opportunities that this technology has opened the doors towards for everyone.

Over the years as I worked with search engine optimization technologies I started tokind of playfully rename different terms just to be different.

One example is search engine optimization or seo in my mind actually says search engine opportunity and search engine optimization can also become search engine offspring which is utilizing search engine optimization technology to me as a way of generating multiple income streams using the latest in information technology. No matter how you put it, leveraging the Internet to generate an income by giving away information, in my eyes, is how it’s always supposed to have been.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with generate an income from giving to the world your valuable insight, in fact this is the best motivation for people to do so is it lends the world a valuable piece of information to add to the freeway that is our information superhighway.
