Yes, a Human Does Read That Application!

In the US, it’s legally required that every applicant who meets the qualifications for a role gets their application read. This is because of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which enforces anti-discrimination laws in the hiring process.

Put Your Qualifications Front and Center

Says Brittney, “I need to know your years of experience. I'm looking for your education. I'm looking for certs, licenses, and technology in that order.” The easier your resume is for a recruiter to parse, the more likely it is that your skills and years of experience can shine through. Don’t make recruiters dig for that crucial information!

Show Your Hard Skills First

Soft skills, while important to the hiring manager later in the process, aren’t as relevant for the first step. Brittany says you can keep those skills off your application, or include them in your resume so later evaluators can look at them. 

Work Backwards from Job Descriptions

If you’re applying for jobs in a particular field, start by looking at 4-5 job descriptions. Then tailor your resume to highlight the skills, technology, and certifications that those job descriptions ask for. If you populate your resume with the relevant skills and keywords, your application is more likely to rise to the top. 

Tips to Combat Ageism

If you have over 25 years of experience, you don’t need to be as specific. Simply putting “25+ years of experience” at the top of your resume will suffice. And make sure you document that you’re up to date on the skills, technology, and certifications the new roles will require.

Deja Riley, who is a fitness instructor and former professional dancer, has been able to craft a brand that exudes her endless energy while also attracting a string of job and career opportunities.

“My personal brand has probably been the most important part of me getting these different opportunities, and finding them, and aligning with other brands,” said Riley. “I think, oftentimes, when you think of yourself as a brand, it is hard to really understand that relationship of building with other brands. I think that one of the key components for me has been collaboration, and that's how I continue to grow my brand.”

How to Start Building a Personal Brand

Riley said the key to building the foundation of a strong personal brand is knowing your message. Her brand is built out of three elements: joy, wellness and inclusion. She said to think about your foundation.

““So maybe get out a pen and a pad right now and write down, what are those three things that light you up inside,” said Riley. “What are three things that empower you, or three things that, you know, you can draw as a thread through your story? I think, for me, those three key elements that I base my brand off of are something that are constant threads through everything that I do.”

Riley said you can also look around for inspiration when it comes to crafting your brand, but don’t try to be a carbon copy of another person; be authentic.

“It is important to be inspired by others, it is important to have mentorship, and maybe get advice from people that you admire or people that continue to motivate you,” she said. “But I think from that you can mold and use all of those tools that you receive to be an original, to be the best version of yourself, and acknowledge that you bring something special to this world."

Also, Riley said don’t be afraid of personal evolution.

People change over time and your brand will, too. Riley has evolved her brand from her time as a professional dancer (for musicians/icons like Beyonce) to being a fitness professional. She says the key is to know how to use those foundational elements of your brand to propel you forward.

“So it didn't look the same when I was a competition dancer as it did when I was a professional dancer, as it does now as a fitness professional and a public speaker,” she said. 

How to Manage Your Personal Brand Online

Your personal brand is clearly important. Where should you put your effort to get it out into the world? After all, there are a lot of social media platforms that can house your brand.

Riley said it’s something each person needs to figure out for themselves, but the key is to make sure you’re not diluting your brand or its message.

“As I begin to reevaluate that process, it's important not to lose myself in constructing this perception of self for others. Whatever I do, I want to remain authentic, I want to show people who I truly am. And though we all feel the pressures of posting on all platforms at all times, it's now about recognizing where your audience is, i.e. my #SweatySmileSquad, and I'm learning where it's necessary to place my energy and where I can preserve it.”

In other words, feel free to start small with your brand online and move intentionally.

Fortunately, more and more people are finding the courage to change careers thanks to some self reflection during the pandemic. LinkedIn Editor Andrew Seaman has talked to several experts about how people can change careers during that time.

This episode – a favorite from the GH archives – brings together the advice of three all-star Get Hired guests: former Olympic speed skater Apolo Ohno; career coach Christopher Taylor, aka “The Occupation Optimist; and coach Austin Belcak, the founder of Cultivated Culture.

Overcome the Fear of Changing Careers

The first step when you’re trying to make a hard pivot, says Apolo Ohno, is to overcome the fear of change. “No one wants to climb the mountain, go back down to the bottom and then go back up again,” he shared, but sometimes it’s important to start with a beginner’s mindset. You can’t operate in a state of “FOPO,” or “fear of other people’s opinions.”

Your Skills are Still Valuable

Next, remember that even though you might be jumping from one industry to another, the experience you’ve gained is still valuable. Chris Taylor, who focuses on skills-based hiring in his coaching, says that “if you have six out of ten” of the requirements listed on the job description, you are likely more than qualified and should apply. You can also look at the company on LinkedIn to see the profiles of people who hold similar roles, and see what skills they have. You can then focus on building those skills, using your network or free platforms like YouTube and LinkedIn Learning.

Don’t Wait for Others to Give You Experience

Finally, Austin Belcak offers a way to get started: just do it! Start by offering your newer skills for free or low rates to local businesses. As a freelancer, you can build up a portfolio and make sure that this new field is for you. You can also start to publish articles in order to build your own education. As Belcak says, “If you made it a goal to create one post about your target industry for the next 60 days on LinkedIn, not only are you going to educate yourself in this new space, but you're also creating this breadcrumb trail of evidence of you actually learning everything.”

If you’ve been inspired by our guests’ advice on making a pivot to a new industry or career, leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts.

She joined LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman to dig into her own career and to give advice on growing within an organization.

Take Advantage of Existing Programs

Many large companies have learning and development programs set up for employees of all levels – even part-timers. For example, Walmart has both “academies,” where employees can learn a new skill on the job or online, and a program to help associates get a college degree and pivot to other departments within the company.

Larger Companies Provide Diverse Opportunities

Not every Walmart employee is a retail associate! Large companies tend to need specialists in all kinds of fields: HR, marketing, logistics, meteorology, software engineering and more. Sometimes, working within a larger company can provide many opportunities to change fields, all within the same organization.

Seasonal Work Can Lead to More

If you take on a seasonal or temporary role within an organization, but you think you might want to stay longer-term, make that known. As Donna says, “each day actually work and operate as if it's your interview. Bring your best self forward.”

Don’t Let Perfect Be The Enemy of Good Enough

As Donna said, we’re entering into a tighter job market, so be extra cautious about new opportunities. If “you're in a viable situation today, you should be cautious and really make sure that you understand the role that you could be moving into and the financials behind that company.”

This week, Jenny Blake, author of the book Pivot: The Only Move that Matters is Your Next One joins Andrew to get into her own pivot-filled career journey and advice for people considering making changes of their own.

Pay Attention to Your Boredom

When you start feeling like your day-to-day workload is no longer interesting, or your attention starts to wander, take note. That is usually a sign that you need to look elsewhere in order to keep growing your skills and talents. As Jenny says, “if we could embrace that and then embrace a shared language to talk about change …then we could all relax a little bit and just have less of that external blame and shame.”

Dip a Toe with a Pivot Experiment

A good framework, suggests Jenny, is asking yourself about the 3 E’s in your current job: “Do I enjoy this? Is there room to expand (and do I want to), or can I become an expert at it?” Then, start making little changes to get yourself to a “yes” answer.

You Can Find Clues Everywhere

In order to figure out what to pivot to, keep your inspiration open. Results of personality tests, your favorite TV shows, what energizes you in your daily life – all of these can be useful for figuring out what your next move is.

Say No to Say Yes

Sometimes, Jenny points out, you need to say “no” to something that feels like a good thing in order to say “yes” to what might be next. Intelligent risk is rarely a bad call.

An Object In Motion Stays In Motion

Sometimes a first decision, or micro-pivot, can set you in motion to make future changes feel less daunting or difficult. Or at the very least, it can get you unstuck.

Luckily, career coach and networking expert Diana Chan is here to help. She joined Andrew in the studio to share some key networking tips to help you make valuable connections.

Get Clear on Your Intention

As with a lot of career-oriented endeavors, networking works better when you know why you’re doing it. Are you networking to learn? To get a new position? To find more connections in a new area? Knowing your “why” is key.

Think Longterm

According to Diana, for her clients who have found new jobs through networking, “It doesn't happen overnight. It could take three months, six months or even a year for an opportunity to unfold there.” So, rather than expecting every phone call or coffee date to lead to a job, think of each meeting as time spent building a relationship that might help you further in the future.

Figure Out Your Cadence

Setting goals like “I want to attend one large event every quarter” or “I’d like to set up one coffee meeting every week” can help you keep your networking goals on track, without overwhelming your calendar.

Add Value

Make sure you’re not just setting up meetings to ask people outright for a job. Your goal in networking is to create a mutually beneficial relationship. Even if you’re just starting your career, or have just lost a job, don’t fear. Sharing something like an article or podcast, or offering an introduction to someone else in your network, could be a valuable thing to offer. 

Start Somewhere

If you’re ready to start leveraging your network to help you take a career step, start with something small – even reaching out to a connection to say something reminded you of them, or that you’re exploring options and would love to know more about their field, can be a good starting point.

At the end of the day, networking is all about creating a community of people whose advice you value and who know your work. There’s never a better time to start than now.

NY Times Bestselling author Lindsey Pollak, the author of books like Becoming the Boss and The Remix: How to Lead and Succeed in the Multigenerational Workplace, joined Andrew in studio to get to the bottom of what we can do to aid inter-age collaboration at work.

We All Want the Same Things

According to Lindsey, “Everybody wants advancement. Everybody wants a manager who listens to them and cares about them and supports them. Everybody wants to feel that their work has purpose. We just approach it in different ways.” So if you’re a manager, know that every member of your team just wants to be heard. And if you’re a contributor, try to put yourself in your teammate’s shoes.

Follow the New Rules of Job Searching

Regardless of when you were born, the job searching landscape of 2022 is digital, and so keeping up with technology is key. Know that your resume might be scanned by AI Applicant Tracking Systems, and put your keywords throughout. Know that you’ll likely be interviewing remotely, and set up your background accordingly. 

Job Switching Isn’t a Dirty Word

Members of younger generations, like millennials and Gen Z, often jump from job to job – and that can be an asset, as they learn skills and workflows from a whole bunch of teams. But for employers, offering internal mobility can be key to retaining younger employees who value variety.

If You’re Stuck, Look Outward

It can be tough to feel like you’re left behind by the current job market. Lindsey’s advice? “Go and do something for somebody else.” Volunteering your time, or working on a project that taps into a passion, often will put you in multigenerational groups that share a point of view on the world.

Pompey joined LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman for the latest episode of #GetHired with Andrew Seaman to share her career journey (including how she pivoted from a successful career in law to one in finance and threw herself into learning her new field). She also shared some of the exciting initiatives she’s worked on at Goldman Sachs, including One Million Black Women and 10K Small Businesses, which empower underrepresented entrepreneurs.

Asahi shared some key tips she’s developed throughout her career, including that...

Community Is Key

As Asahi told us, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.” Working with colleagues, mentors, and even people a few rungs behind you on the ladder will make everyone’s work better, easier, and stronger – and more fun.

Giving Back

It can be overwhelming to pick just one cause to spend your energy and attention on, but Asahi recommends doing just that. Consistency is the best way to make an impact.

Capitalize On Uncertainty

Even though economic times are uncertain and the future looks shaky, Asahi says this is exactly the moment to make a confident move. Look ahead and try to figure out where your industry or company is headed, and try to add value ahead of the curve.

Interview expert Valerie Sutton – the instructor behind the popular LinkedIn Learning Course Master Common Interview Questions, and Director of Career Services at Harvard School of Education – joins Andrew to dispel some interview myths and dig into key best practices for nailing the job interview.

Prepare for Your Interviewer

In most organizations, the first person you’ll talk to is an HR professional. This person will check your basic qualifications and experience before sending your application to the hiring manager, or decision-maker. The second round is typically with that hiring manager, or with someone who will be your colleague. Valerie says to tailor your questions and preparation for who you’ll be interviewing with – and it’s absolutely fine to ask the organization for clarification on how you should prepare.

Anticipate the Questions

There are three types of questions that interviewers typically ask. The first type are behavioral questions, or asking how you have handled a situation in the past. The second type are resume questions, where the interviewer will ask about a point on your resume. The final type are situational questions, which ask you to extrapolate how you would handle something in the future. Valerie’s tip for nailing these? “[Go] down to the responsibilities in the job description and [put] situation action result of where you have demonstrated this experience in your past, and that will actually give you the content for answering any of those types of questions.”

Use the Company’s Stated Values as A Guide

Typically, a company’s values or mission statement can be found on its website. Hiring managers are looking to hire people who align with those values; so make sure you’ve looked into them before your interview, and speak to them in your answers.

Don’t Play Hard to Get

Companies want to hire people who are excited to join the team and take on the project – so don’t be afraid to express your interest loudly! 

Always Send a Followup

Always send a thank-you email or message after an interview. Bonus points if you can include a link to something you and the interviewer talked about!

Andrew is joined by Leah Smart, host of the LinkedIn News podcast In the Arena to dig into listener letters, including:

- A letter from listener Amy, whose interviewer was unprofessional and downright dismissive

- A letter from listener Chan, who experienced a hiring manager ghosting… while the company’s marketing team kept sending them “apply to this job!” emails.

- A letter from LinkedIn member Amber, whose experience on job sites as an infrastructure laborer proves why affinity groups and finding community in your industry is so important

- A call from listener Gertrude, whose first job out of college taught her never to accept the first offer without asking some pointed questions first.

While you use those skills in your current role, it’s likely not the only place you can use that knowledge. A person who is skilled in interpersonal communications as a customer associate at a retail store can also put that to use in a number of other roles. 

If you’re job searching, or trying to level up in your career, it can be helpful to think in terms of all those skills, rather than job titles. Today’s guest, LinkedIn Learning instructor Marielle Legair, joined Andrew in the studio to get to the bottom of how to do a skills inventory and make sure you’re letting your hard-earned skills shine when you apply to new jobs.

Ask for Feedback

It can be difficult to see all your wonderful accomplishments in an impartial light. So ask a friend or colleague to help you make a list of all of your skills. As Marielle told Andrew, “feedback is really, really crucial for anybody looking for a job.”

Fill in the Gaps

If you know that your target field requires some skills that you don’t yet have, begin to fill in the gaps. Marielle suggests starting with free online learning platforms, like Google, LinkedIn Learning, or YouTube, and absorbing information that will help you grow your career.

Develop an Entrepreneurial Mindset

Even if you’re not currently on the job market, you still want to keep your skills sharp and up-to-date. Marielle’s advice? Have a quarterly check-in with yourself to make sure that you’re keeping up with industry trends and new technologies.

Network, Network, Network 

As Marielle likes to say, “your network is your net worth.” But beware of asking for things from the people you meet without offering something in return. Even offering an informational article or podcast that’s relevant to someone’s work is a helpful conversation starter.

Today’s guest is productivity expert Laura Vanderkam, author of the new book Tranquility by Tuesday: Nine Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters. She goes through some of the key research-backed ways that she’s found to stop setting goals you can’t reach, once and for all. 

Make Time to Plan

According to Laura, the first and most important way to maximize your time is to take a moment out of your week to plan. It may seem counterintuitive, but pausing to look at your calendar from a ten thousand-foot view is the best way to make sure you’ve left time for everything that’s important to you. Laura suggests taking 20 minutes every Friday to make a list of your priorities for the next week, and to schedule in activities or tasks that need to happen in order to make sure your home and work life is balanced.

Get a Hobby

Laura says, “one thing I suggest people do is take one night for you. And ideally do something that is personally meaningful, personally enjoyable, like ‘I'm gonna join a choir. I'm gonna sing, you know, with other people who are expecting me to be there at seven o'clock on Thursday. So even if I'm tired, even if life's busy, I go.’” That level of commitment, which requires you to show up for another person or a group of person, can help you stick to your self-care, and make it more meaningful.

Go to Bed on Time

It’s so easy, even a five year old can do it! But making a bedtime for yourself, and then sticking to it, can help you avoid the temptation to scroll mindlessly for hours, and set your body up to get good sleep to power you through the next day.

Focus on Three Days a Week

In Laura’s research, she realized that many people who tout “daily habits” were actually only committing to their habits Monday through Friday, and not even doing them on vacation. So, she figured, wouldn’t three days a week be both habit-forming and easier to stick to? As Laura said, “for many things, three times a week is often enough that it becomes a part of your identity. Somebody who practices the piano three times a week is a regular piano player.” So rather than becoming defeated and breaking a habit when you don’t do it perfectly every day, consider creating a three-time-per-week habit. And see if that helps.

As always, if any of the tips you learned today helped you, leave us a review, and reach out on LinkedIn.

Fortunately, more and more people are finding the courage to change careers thanks to some self reflection during the pandemic. LinkedIn Editor Andrew Seaman has talked to several experts about how people can change careers during that time.

This episode brings together the advice of three all-star Get Hired guests: former Olympic speed skater Apolo Ohno; career coach Christopher Taylor, aka “The Occupation Optimist; and coach Austin Belcak, the founder of Cultivated Culture.

Overcome the Fear of Changing Careers

The first step when you’re trying to make a hard pivot, says Apolo Ohno, is to overcome the fear of change. “No one wants to climb the mountain, go back down to the bottom and then go back up again,” he shared, but sometimes it’s important to start with a beginner’s mindset. You can’t operate in a state of “FOPO,” or “fear of other people’s opinions.”

Your Skills are Still Valuable

Next, remember that even though you might be jumping from one industry to another, the experience you’ve gained is still valuable. Chris Taylor, who focuses on skills-based hiring in his coaching, says that “if you have six out of ten” of the requirements listed on the job description, you are likely more than qualified and should apply. You can also look at the company on LinkedIn to see the profiles of people who hold similar roles, and see what skills they have. You can then focus on building those skills, using your network or free platforms like YouTube and LinkedIn Learning.

Don’t Wait for Others to Give You Experience

Finally, Austin Belcak offers a way to get started: just do it! Start by offering your newer skills for free or low rates to local businesses. As a freelancer, you can build up a portfolio and make sure that this new field is for you. You can also start to publish articles in order to build your own education. As Belcak says, “If you made it a goal to create one post about your target industry for the next 60 days on LinkedIn, not only are you going to educate yourself in this new space, but you're also creating this breadcrumb trail of evidence of you actually learning everything.”

If you’ve been inspired by our guests’ advice on making a pivot to a new industry or career, leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts.

Deja Riley, a fitness instructor and former professional dancer, has been able to craft a brand that exudes her endless energy while also attracting a string of job and career opportunities.

“My personal brand has probably been the most important part of me getting these different opportunities, and finding them, and aligning with other brands,” said Riley. “I think, oftentimes, when you think of yourself as a brand, it is hard to really understand that relationship of building with other brands. I think that one of the key components for me has been collaboration, and that's how I continue to grow my brand.”

How to Start Building a Personal Brand

Riley said the key to building the foundation of a strong personal brand is knowing your message. Her brand is built out of three elements: joy, wellness and inclusion. She said to think about your foundation.

“Get out a pen and a pad right now and write down, what are those three things that light you up inside,” said Riley. “What are three things that empower you, or three things that, you know, you can draw as a thread through your story? I think, for me, those three key elements that I base my brand off of are something that are constant threads through everything that I do.”

Riley said you can also look around for inspiration when it comes to crafting your brand, but don’t try to be a carbon copy of another person; be authentic.

“It is important to be inspired by others, it is important to have mentorship, and maybe get advice from people that you admire or people that continue to motivate you,” she said. “But I think from that you can mold and use all of those tools that you receive to be an original, to be the best version of yourself, and acknowledge that you bring something special to this world."

Also, Riley said don’t be afraid of personal evolution. People change over time and your brand will, too. Riley has evolved her brand from her time as a professional dancer (for musicians/icons like Beyonce) to being a fitness professional. She says the key is to know how to use those foundational elements of your brand to propel you forward.

“So it didn't look the same when I was a competition dancer as it did when I was a professional dancer, as it does now as a fitness professional and a public speaker,” she said. 

How to Manage Your Personal Brand Online

Your personal brand is clearly important. Where should you put your effort to get it out into the world? After all, there are a lot of social media platforms that can house your brand.

Riley said it’s something each person needs to figure out for themselves, but the key is to make sure you’re not diluting your brand or its message.

“As I begin to reevaluate that process, it's important not to lose myself in constructing this perception of self for others. Whatever I do, I want to remain authentic, I want to show people who I truly am. And though we all feel the pressures of posting on all platforms at all times, it's now about recognizing where your audience is, i.e. my #SweatySmileSquad, and I'm learning where it's necessary to place my energy and where I can preserve it.”

In other words, feel free to start small with your brand online and move intentionally.

How To Build a Personal Brand

1. Know what elements you want associated with your brand.
2. Look for inspiration to grow your brand but don’t imitate another person.
3. Start small and move intentionally to avoid diluting your brand.
4. Don’t be afraid to evolve as a person and change your brand as well.
