      6 Creative ways to get an employer's attention

       


      Savvy job seekers often leverage social media to their benefit to catch the attention of potential employers, and you can follow suit with these tips.

      Social media could work in your favor when you're looking for a job — if you do it right.

      1. Update your social media profile.

      Whether you like it or not, social media is an extension of your personal brand. Did you know that 60 percent of employers are peeking into candidates' social media profiles? So clean up your Facebook profile or make it private. Add skills and/or recommendations to your professional social media profiles, and make sure to use keywords wherever you can so your profile is easily searchable.

      2. Use multimedia to supplement your resume.

      While some job seekers have actually gone to extremes by advertising themselves using social ads on Facebook or Google AdWords, being over-the-top dramatic is not always necessary to catch an employer's attention. Consider creating an online portfolio of your work, creating videos that show off your skills, producing a Snapchat channel that highlights your creativity or using other non-traditional avenues that would give employers a sense of your professional prowess.

      3. Make strategic connections.

      While it's great to connect with Ron from the last networking event you went to, be proactive and seek out professionals in your field. Don't be afraid to ask for advice — many professionals, as busy as they are, will be happy to help. Establish connections with individuals who work at the company you're applying to and reach out to them for tips on how to get your foot in the door.

      4. Follow your dream employer's social media accounts.

      Not only will it help you connect with the company, but you can also follow the social media feeds to do some more research about the company and determine if it's a good cultural fit. Oftentimes, brands tend to be more authentic and engaging on social media than other corporate channels, so look for personality and fit.

      5. Start interacting with corporate social accounts.

      The recruiter or hiring manager at your dream company may not return your calls or queries in a timely fashion, but chances are you'll have a better shot at a two-way communication using social media. Retweet and share relevant posts. You don't need to be a subject-matter expert or thought leader to reply to their tweets or comment on LinkedIn posts or Facebook posts — but do so only if you have legitimate feedback/opinions or something constructive to add to the conversation.

      6. Personalize conversations.

      What you find out about a company or hiring manager online can help you find topics that sit well with the hiring manager so you can personalize conversations or even thank-you notes. Keep in mind there's a line between being diligent (scouring for professional insights) and creepy (looking to see how many children they have), so don't cross it.

      How to trust your gut when it comes to a job offer

       


      When you get a job offer, but your gut is telling you not to accept it, how do you know when to trust your gut or when to ignore it?

      It finally happened. After devoting weeks – maybe even months – to searching for jobs, filling out applications, sending out resumes and going on interviews, you've finally got a job offer. Saying "yes" should be a no-brainer, right?


      Yet for some reason – a reason you can't explain – you're hesitant to say yes. What gives? While you may not be able to explain the feeling in your gut that's telling you to hold on, you may want to listen to it. "Much like every other aspect of life, someone's gut is an extension of their instinct, and it is important to heed it even when they can not necessarily verbalize their thoughts in that moment," says Kelly Ogle, team lead for Accounting, Finance and Supply Chain Recruiting at LaSalle Network. For those re-considering a job offer, Ogle says a negative gut feeling "may be a trigger that they have what they're looking for in their current role and that they should stay, or the role they're considering sounds great, but doesn't have something really important to the them." Therefore, if you have a bad gut feeling about a job offer, you shouldn't ignore it.

      The problem is, many of us have trouble listening to our guts because we have been taught to base decisions on facts; however, there's a scientific explanation as to why our gut might actually be one our best tools when it comes to making decisions.

      The science behind gut feelings

      The brain has two types of memory: explicit and implicit. Explicit memory is made up of the information we make a conscious effort to remember. Implicit memory is the knowledge we've accumulated subconsciously - or implicitly, if you will – from collected experiences over the years. Have you ever caught yourself singing along to a song you didn't even know you knew the words to? Chances are you heard the song so many times, your brain just naturally absorbed it. That's how implicit memory works -- it enables you to recall memories (such as the lyrics to "Shake It Off") you might not even realize you had. So when you have a "gut feeling" about something, it's likely the result of your implicit memory telling you that something is off based on knowledge you didn't even realize you had from prior experiences.

      If your gut is telling you something is off about a job offer, take time to listen to it with the following tips.

      Give yourself a break

      Sometimes our minds become so cluttered thinking about a dilemma, it's impossible to listen to what our gut is trying to tell us. If you've been mulling over the job offer for a while and you're still not getting anywhere, give yourself permission to take a "brain break." Go for a long walk, take a yoga class or meditate – anything that doesn't require any thinking – and give your mind freedom to wander. By stepping away from the situation and clearing your head, you will give your intuition room to emerge.

      Differentiate between intuition and fear

      Sometimes what we consider a "bad feeling" is really just fear. Take time to reflect on whether what you are feeling is just fear of change or the unknown…or something more. It's perfectly natural to feel some fear upon accepting a new job, but just remember that every new job comes with a learning curve. Once you look at the situation rationally, you may find that what you were feeling was really just fear that will subside with time and experience.

      Take "should" out of the equation

      When you think about the job offer, do you really want to take it, or do you think you should take it? If you find yourself saying "should," it indicates an external or imagined pressure to take it – as opposed to what you really want. "Whenever I hear clients say 'I should,' I say: 'According to who?' They usually say, 'family pressure' or 'I guess I'm making it up,'" Hana Ayoub, a professional development coach, tells Fast Company. "The 'should's' help people tune in to when they're not listening to their gut."

      Get in touch with your feelings

      While there is validity to following your intuition, it's hard to do so when most of us have always been taught to "think things through;" however, sometimes our thoughts can get in the way of what our guts are trying to tell us. In order get more in touch with your feelings, try this quick exercise: Think about a positive experience from your past. Then think back to the moment you realized you were doing the right thing. What sensations did you feel? Next, do the same thing, but with a negative experience. Now, think about the situation you are in currently, with your job offer. What feelings arise? Are they more similar to the feelings around the positive event, or the negative one? This exercise could give insight into which direction to steer.

      Top 10 Careers for Entry-Level Remote Jobs

       While hiring hasn’t yet rebounded to pre-pandemic levels, the overall job market is gaining momentum—and that means stronger prospects for anyone looking for an entry-level position, including recent graduates.



      In fact, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), employers estimate that they’ll hire 7.2% more new college graduates from the Class of 2021 than they previously hired from the Class of 2020.

      We analyzed our database to identify the top 10 career categories that currently have the most remote entry-level positions suitable for new graduates and job seekers with less professional experience. Among these, entry-level remote listings in the HR & Recruiting, Sales, and Call Center categories have grown at least 25% since Jan 2021!

      The job categories below are ordered from highest to lowest in terms of having the most remote entry-level positions.

      Top 10 Entry-Level Career Fields

      1. Customer Service

      Customer service representatives work with many different types of companies to serve as the direct point of contact for customers, providing support and helping with their questions and concerns. Representatives may communicate with customers by telephone, email, chat, or mail.

      2. Call Center

      Similar to customer service positions, call center jobs involve finding solutions to meet customers’ needs. Some call centers handle only incoming calls, while others include calling people, businesses, and organizations for marketing, research surveys, appointment setting, collections, and more.

      3. Administrative

      Administrative jobs require people who can manage responsibilities, multi-task, and support executive personnel in meeting company objectives.

      Bilingual professionals work in a variety of jobs for a wide range of companies, helping to eliminate communication and diversity barriers between people from different countries or regions.

      7. Sales

      8. Data Entry

      Data Entry professionals play an important role in organizations by ensuring the smooth and efficient processing of large amounts of information and data. Most data entry jobs include entering data into a computer system or some type of a secure file system and may include other types of clerical activities.

      9. Computer & IT

      Computer and IT jobs can include computer repairs, website maintenance, internet security, and in-house support for internal computer systems. Companies hiring for computer and IT jobs are in a variety of industries, like information security, digital marketing, cloud solutions, business consulting, education, healthcare, communications, and media.

      10. HR & Recruiting

      Human resources and recruiting jobs involve matching people with the right job and providing continuous training and support to employees. HR professionals can be generalists or they may work with a specific aspect of human resources, while recruiters seek out qualified candidates for contract or permanent job placement.

      Skills Development During the Pandemic

      For new grads just entering the workforce, continuously developing job skills can give job seekers an edge in getting hired for entry-level work.

      According to FlexJobs’ recent survey of 400 entry-level workers, this demographic has stayed career-focused during the pandemic, with four out of five engaging in the following skill development activities:

And nearly a quarter (24%) would be willing to take a pay cut for the opportunity to work from home.

      You can help yourself stay organized in your job search by blocking out time to focus and creating a job search plan. Make daily to-do lists spelling out what you’d like to accomplish, such as customizing a cover letter, sending out three applications, and spending a half-hour on LinkedIn exploring connections.

      2. Update Your Resume

      When you’re applying for entry-level jobs, it’s important to include internships, volunteer activities, and school-based activities in your chosen career fields on your resume. If you want to work remotely, you should also highlight any remote experience you have with virtual classes, group projects, or internships or jobs.

      3. Try Informational Interviews

      See if you can connect with alums from your school or make new connections on LinkedIn to gather information on companies and jobs. These informal chats will help you learn more about which roles you should target, potential openings, and how to run a successful search from people who’ve been there before.

      4. Be Patient

      It takes, on average, three to six months to land a job, so expect to spend a lot of quality time searching for your new role. Get into a rhythm and routine for your search, and stay consistent for the best results.
