A Formula For High-Conversion Cold Emails And LinkedIn Messages : Entrepreneur

linkedin:选一张好的资料照片 I recently claimed on a post that cold emails and LinkedIn messages are still effective but only if your message is worth reading.

I was asked to give a template. The answer is there’s no magic template.

So I decided to break down my formula instead.

Please remember:

This isn’t a cold sales email. Although with minor tweaks it can be. This was written for innovative, early-stage B2B startups to approach high value leads for research. But it can be tweaked for any industry or sector.

This isn’t the only way to write a cold email.

Some people swear by making it clear exactly what you’re offering upfront. The problem with that approach is that for early-stage startups, your solution will change as you validate and wobb employers iterate. It may not be that appealing to them early on, hence the need to speak to them first.

This is why I’ve found more success in focusing on the person you’re contacting and their problem. Rather than your proposed solution that may not even exist yet.

I hope this helps you as much is has helped me. Let’s get stuck in!

This is for you if:

You need to talk to users about a problem you want to solve

You need to reach high-value leads.

You’re still building your network.

You’re still in the research/validation phase. You need to talk to potential users/customers but you’re not in full sales mode yet.

You’re contacting people in an industry that’s new to you.

This isn’t for you if:

Who you approach doesn’t matter or you need a large number of leads immediately. This research can be time-consuming. If that’s the case, try ads.

Your research will vary widely based on your industry. Here are a few tips:

Be Ready to Take Notes (Important!)

Be ready to take notes on people you research. Make sure you keep on top of this.

For example, you can create a spreadsheet, use Onenote/Evernote or use a CRM.

Keep your old notes after contacting leads. Most industries are quite small at the top and your notes will have a compounding effect. You’ll soon start to connect the dots and see trends and commonalities.

How to Research Leads

Start by Googling their name and company. Make sure you understand their specific role.

Look for industry press releases for their company. Look for any activity that relates to them.

Search for their personal and company Twitter accounts

Look at their Instagram if it’s public

Look through their LinkedIn, see if they know anyone who could make an intro for you

See what roles they’re hiring for

If they’re in charge of sourcing products, research what products they’ve stocked in the past and why. Research those companies and their ethos. See if they are connected to people within those companies too.

Find out what their biggest challenge is as a business. This could be hiring, scaling or finding unique products to source. The secret is to tie their biggest business challenge to your overall vision for fixing their industry. With practice, you’ll be able to accurately see what their biggest challenge is. Most businesses are usually quite open about it.

Let’s take another look at the rough formula for cold emails/LinkedIn messages. We’ll break it down down into 3 paragraphs.

The 3 Step Formula

Hi (first name),

Mention something they’ve achieved recently. Ask for their help.

Ask for a low commitment from them.

Sign off.

Mention something you’ve researched about them then. Then ask for their help.

You could congratulate them on opening a new location, a fundraise, a new product.

You’re praising but also showing you’ve done your research and you think they are credible enough to be able to help you too.

You could mention someone on their level that you’ve recently met, who they know.

You could mention someone who has made an intro/suggested you contact them (if that person hasn’t already)

You can adjust your tone based on their personality or the brand of their business. Formal emails can be offputting. Use your research to guide your actions on this.

Tip: I would often go into a business as a customer, find a moment to ask for the owner/ops director’s name and contact details without being pushy. Then write an email there and then to that person, saying the name of their employee who suggested you contact them.

Don’t ‘hope’ or ‘pray’ that your email ‘finds them well’ or ‘in good health’ etc. There’s no need. It’s a waste of precious text. If you don’t know them, it comes across as disingenuous.

Aim for 2 sentences max. 30 Words Total

Lay down your vision for solving a painful and widely felt problem in their industry.

Show that you understand the most painful business problem they’re experiencing. A problem that is also holding the industry back. A strong vision is often the most powerful tool an entrepreneur has. In a few words, you can open the eyes of your prospect to a better future, in a way they hadn’t thought about.

Make your vision solve a painful problem and sound exciting. Even if it’s in the most mundane part of a business.

Make them feel that they and their advice will be so important that you need them to be involved in helping shape your solution.

You should keep this paragraph very brief. The skill in cold emails is saying as much as possible, in as few words as possible. Make them curious so they want to hear more – https://www.wired.com/2010/08/the-itch-of-curiosity/

You should constantly be refining and slimming this paragraph down. It’s arguably the most important.

If you have your website link in your email sig. Make sure the messaging on your landing page, matches the messaging in your email.

This is a powerful technique for getting a response if you’re yet to define a solution. The intrigue it generates. Again this isn’t a sales email. It’s for early-stage businesses that are simply trying to nail a meeting with an important lead to get feedback, validation or conduct a user interview.

Don’t go into too much detail

Don’t make unrealistic claims

Don’t name your company within the paragraphs. They’ll see it in the email sig and in your email address before they opened the email. It’s optional but really not necessary.

Length:

Aim for one sentence, two max. 20 words.

Goal:

A very low commitment ask.

Do:

Know exactly what your goal is before contacting anyone. It’s normal for this to be slightly different for each person you contact.

If you’re emailing: Do you want knowledge? An intro? To be able to send a deck for feedback or to be passed on to someone else? Be specific.

If on LinkedIn: You’re usually asking for their email address to send more info. So your message can be even shorter. It may feel like an extra step but they’ll be expecting your email. I’ve found my conversions were much higher doing this. There’s also an element of intrigue and respect that you’ve asked permission before sharing your ask.

If you’re arranging a call/meeting, then offer a time and day that you think they’ll be free based on your research. For example, in the hospitality industry, there are days that ops directors won’t take meetings due to the nature of their work.

Do your research. For example, if you know from your research where their office is, mention grabbing a coffee a street away, etc.

Don’t:

Don’t ask for any more than of their time than you need. Be specific in your request.

Don’t make them do the work of arranging the time, place, day, etc.

Understand the basics of copywriting. Write to Sell is a great primer for beginners. – Write to Sell, Andy Maslen

Don’t obsess about copywriting, you don’t need to become an expert. Many copywriting tricks and tips will take you off course. Keep it simple.

Edit, edit and edit again. Cut out weasel words. Hemingway is an excellent tool for this – http://www.hemingwayapp.com/

Use a thesaurus to find shorter words. Count the syllables in your sentences -https://syllablecounter.net/

Check your writing for it’s reading grade level. Simple yet highly effective – https://readabilityformulas.com/free-readability-formula-tests.php

Spell check everything you write – Grammarly.com

Track and organize your emails with a CRM – Hubspot allows you to move contacts across a Pipeline and track email opens. This is extremely useful when you’re contacting a lot of people. There are other tools but choose cautiously – www.hubspot.com

You can send your personalized emails faster using Woodpecker. You can use your existing email account and it’ll schedule emails so you don’t get flagged by Gmail. It’s highly effective and worth the price. Good for those starting out, with a free trial too – www.woodpecker.co

Read your email out loud. If it sounds awkward, it’ll probably read awkwardly too.

Aim for clarity. Don’t use industry jargon even if you think they’ll understand it.

The word limits included are for you to focus on keeping it brief. You may need to write more but beware of fluff. Keep it to the essentials.

If you get a reply, you can include more details on the second email. Even pre-launch, an attractive deck on your reply can go a long way to building credibility and intrigue.

When you get a meeting, make sure you ask questions properly. The Mom Test is a great starting point – http://momtestbook.com/

Why am I not getting any replies?

If your email is succinct, punchy and persuasive but you’re still not getting feedback, it’s possible that the problem you’re describing just isn’t interesting to them.

One quick solution until you land on messaging that resonates is to include fewer details. Just mention you want to solve a painful problem their industry faces. Add more detail about the specific problem as you get more feedback and understand the industry better.

How can I refine my message when I’m not getting any replies?

Great cold emails require a holistic approach of integrating everything you learn through your research, conversations, meetings, and rejections.

I once lucked out by sitting a table across from the national operations director for a large restaurant chain. I knew the head office was near that restaurant and would work in there some mornings on my laptop.

I overheard a conversation and politely waited until he’d finished his meeting then asked him for a couple of minutes of his time. Those 3-4 minutes gave me an invaluable insight into a major purchasing decision they were looking to make and exactly what their goals and red lines were.

This info was pure gold in understanding the problems of chains of his size. It was almost the polar opposite of what slightly smaller chains would require. I already had a good pitch from my cold emailing but I was able to tweak my approach for companies of a similar size who were facing similar challenges. My conversions were beyond what I could’ve hoped for.

Tip:

As you contact more people, you’ll see that many of them face similar challenges. You can save time by segment them by characteristics that aren’t always obvious when you start. You can then use this knowledge to more accurately predict what messaging will work on future leads.

I’ve got a template that’s converting well, should I change it?

After around 10-20 replies, you should have a good idea of what resonates and what doesn’t. Even more so after you meet the people you’ve contacted in person or speak on the phone.

So take notes during your meetings. Listen to what they found exciting, what they’re really struggling with. Refine and improve. There’s no reason not to be an expert at this quickly.

Always ask for intros when you make a successful contact and you’ve earnt their trust/intrigue. I can’t stress this enough.

Don’t get stuck using the same template, keep iterating, Even if the improvements become marginal gains.

What conversion rates should I expect?

I’d often get open rates as high as 90%. Replies would change for each mini-campaign, starting lower and getting significantly higher as I refined the email but always over 50%.

My email rates always declined rapidly when I got overconfident and did less research. Or when I was less picky about qualifying leads to contact.

After refining your message and building up a good database of research, it becomes rare not to get a reply. This will obviously change by industry and how attractive your vision/the problem you want to solve is.

Qualifying the right type of people to speak to will drastically improve your conversion rates. When you understand the industry, you’re able to predict what messaging will resonate with a certain type of prospect in a business at a certain stage, a certain size or facing a certain challenge. Your research will be vital for this. The clearer you can organize it and find insights from it, the better.

How often do I follow up?

There’s a lot of different thinking about follow-ups. The standard rule is that you should keep following up until you get a response. If your startup takes off, you’ll likely bump into some of the leads you’re contacting one day. Be persistent but respectful.

You should wait at least 3 days before your first follow up. Your follow up emails should be short and easy for them to take action.

So that’s it! There’s no secret template. It’s hard work, at first anyway. Once you get stuck in, it becomes fun. If you do your homework and iterate relentlessly, you’ll see results!

Free feedback

I’m happy to give feedback via chat if anyone has any drafts they want looked at. I don’t have anything to promote but I’m quietly working on a unique way for anyone to apply the wisdom of successful founders without books, videos or podcasts. I’d love to talk to anyone who’s interested in giving feedback on the beta.

The myth of the manufacturing jobs renaissance

By Kate Trafecante, CNN Business

https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/08/economy/manufacturing-jobs/index.html

Updated 3:12 PM ET, Sun February 9, 2020

New York (CNN Business) — US manufacturing jobs have disappeared. They won’t be coming back.

The Trump administration wants voters to believe in a US manufacturing renaissance — proof of economic success as America barrels toward election day.

President Trump in his State of the Union address Tuesday once again took credit for “restoring our Nation’s manufacturing,” claiming that the United States “has gained 12,000 new factories under my administration, with thousands upon thousands of plants and factories being planned or built. We have created over half a million new manufacturing jobs.”

Tutored, il Linkedin degli studenti è una startup italiana Those numbers are largely accurate, and US factory activity expanded in January. But the manufacturing industry is hemorrhaging jobs, losing more than 4 million over the past twenty years. The problem is growth is concentrated in a few outlier industries — pharmaceuticals, computers, semiconductors — that boost output while employing only a fraction of the workers in traditional factories.

Those jobs aren’t coming back

Despite the White House’s promises, nothing will restore a 1960s-style mass employment on the assembly lines. The new manufacturing reality is an industry of specialized high-tech work that requires less manpower, or lower paid, non-union jobs.

The jobs growth Trump cites is coming from emerging US industries — such as American shale — or were sparked by a post-recession shopping-spree for items already produced domestically, like cars.

Other industries are hurting.

“Most companies are in wait and see mode,” says Sree Ramaswamy, linkedin partner at McKinsey & Company, citing a decade old economic expansion and slowing global growth. And with tariff costs and uncertain demand, “most companies are not in a hurry to open a new factory or add a new product line.”

Decades of decline

The manufacturing industry has been in a steady decline for the past two decades. A strong US dollar in the late 1990s made foreign goods cheaper just as costs rose, demand dried up and trade deals opened up global competition. Domestic manufacturing firms cut costs, and that often meant finding cheap labor overseas.

That’s when, according to Susan Houseman, Director of Research at Upjohn Institute, manufacturing jobs fell off a cliff.

“Before the early 2000s, any decline always bounced back,” Houseman said. “This is the first time it kept going down.”

La Russia fa uno sgarbo a Microsoft e banna LinkedIn. È la guerra dei ... Even with the Trump administration’s tariffs and heated rhetoric, that trend is not course-correcting, says Robert Scott, director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Research at the Economic Policy Institute.

“Frankly, Trump is bad for manufacturing. Since he took office, the deficit in goods is up 15%,” according to Scott. A trade deficit occurs when a country buys more products then it sells.

Scott says that Trump’s trade deals — the USMCA and the “phase one” deal with China — fail to address the structural issues that fix long-term trade imbalances, and therefore, help workers.

“His policies haven’t helped change anything — they keep the status quo.”

Where new jobs are coming from

Most of the half-million new manufacturing jobs over the past three years are in the Sun Belt or around Silicon Valley. Meanwhile job losses in the Rust Belt are accelerating. That could be key to the 2020 race.

Trump won Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin in 2016, promising working-class voters he would revive US manufacturing. But all four states have lost more than 16,000 factory jobs in the past year alone.

And many new production jobs are non-union with lower pay, according to Pew Research. That translates to the loss of good wages for Americans without a college degree, the majority of which voted Trump into office.

In 2019, production workers earned 20% below the national average, a UC Berkeley study found. A third of manufacturing employees rely on food stamps or other federal assistance programs to make ends meet.

“Trump told people that he understood their pain, promising to do something different about it,” Scott says. “He has done something different, but it hasn’t worked.”

Is there any hope?

Despite the doom and gloom, continued erosion of the industry is not a foregone conclusion, says Ramaswamy. There are changes the United States can make, but it means revitalizing what has been neglected for two decades, and understanding that the manufacturing workforce of the future looks different from that of the past.

Companies need to spend on new technology and training programs for workers. The United States should invest in infrastructure, and introduce policies to ensure countries like China don’t devalue their currency.

Why Some Japan Internships Are Unpaid

There are more ways to earn extra money than you can shake a stick at – so what is so special about data entry jobs? Let me first explain what data entry work is – for those who do not already know: A company has a bunch of data that must be fed into a database or a spreadsheet, but the work cannot be done automatically. The company hires someone – perhaps you – to do the work by hand. Mostly, this means typing or copy/pasting data into the right place. This sort of work used to be handled by in-house secretaries in most companies, but since outsourcing work has become increasingly popular over the years, many firms choose to outsource these kinds of tasks as well, and linkedin partner (my.wobbjobs.com) focus their own energy on what they do best – whether that is running a law firm, doing marketing or something else.

What is good about data entry work then?

– Great beginner job. You can get started fast, with little or no training. All that is required, in most cases, is basic computer knowledge and normal reading abilities. – Work from home – whenever you want. Much of this sort or work is offered online – and so is the data you will be working on. This sort of job is really great for stay at home moms (or stay at home dads), since they can work when then choose. Drive the kids to school, start the dishwasher and sit down and do some work. – Little or no investment needed to get started. No fancy suits to look good on the job. No commuting costs. Just a computer with internet connection – which – if you are reading this – you probably already have.

jobs at home – certainly enough to consider it seriously. But to be fair, let us look at what can possibly be held against such work. There are certain circumstances which could be considered negative:

– Getting paid for the amount of work you complete means you won’t make much money if you are a slow typist. The good news are that you WILL improve your speed a lot, as you do the work. You may not see much money for your time in the beginning, but most people who stick with it, will see a change for the better. – It can be tedious bordering on downright boring. Much of the work is very monotonous in nature, so you have to able to deal with that. But not having to commute for hours to do it – tends to help a lot in that respect. – It will never become a high-paying job. In this line of business, you are considered as being on the low rungs of the ladder, due to the simplicity of the work. The fact that it may also be very boring, does not help on the wage.

Tips To Building Your Own LinkedIn Inc

LinkedIn.com is one of the fastest growing recruiting tools currently used by Headhunters and Professionals alike. If you are used to networking and taking advantage of business meet and greets, then you can expand your networks and your professional name by using LinkedIn. If you are still coming to grips with how to network or even what it is – then LinkedIn provides a great base on which you can build for your “offline” world. If you become savvy at using LinkedIn as a professional advancement tool then your opportunities are exponential.

Why use LinkedIn to get recruited?

Headhunters are now using LinkedIn as one of their primary tools to source new talent for Employers. Business Owners and Employers have also become aware of just how useful LinkedIn is to search for talented professionals to fill positions – cutting out the middle man and major advertising costs. Over 130,000 recruitment agents including representatives from all of the Fortune 500 Companies are using LinkedIn to source their future employees and contractors.

Professionals who have developed their LinkedIn Profiles and are working on their connections report on receiving at least a contact a week from either Headhunters or Employers who have found them through LinkedIn. This is a great tool to advertise your skills to a much larger audience and also provides opportunities for networking yourself into your Company of choice. As you familiarize yourself with LinkedIn you will start to realize how this site and your connections can provide a personal introduction to the right person at the right time.

How does LinkedIn work?

Heard of six degrees of separation? LinkedIn works on the principle that by you inviting your contacts to join you on LinkedIn, you also gain access to their contacts and so on and so forth. Firstly, this builds up membership as a lightening pace (over 25 million users currently). Secondly, this creates a huge community of people who can professionally assist each other. LinkedIn is a professional driven social networking site, so no video uploads of late night opinions or family pics – just professionals linking in to each other.

How do I get started using LinkedIn for Professional Advancement?

A Basic Membership on LinkedIn.com is free. You just need to join and fill in your profile. If you’re serious about using LinkedIn to get recruited, and then take the time to set up your profile properly, in the same vain you would offer your CV to a Recruitment Agent.

The next step is to start connecting! LinkedIn operates interactive tools that can upload your address book from various email programs including Outlook and web based mail programs. These tools automatically identify any members of your address book that are already LinkedIn members. Go through and carefully choose who you want to invite to become a connection. Note: Your Connections will be visible to the rest of your connections.

You can also reconnect with old classmates and colleagues by using the Colleague Reconnect and Classmate Reconnect tools. This is a great way to expand your connections and you never know who may be working for what potential employer. Profiles with over 20 connections have an increased chance of success.

TIP: Don’t just enter someone’s email address or business card into your contact manager – see if they are also on LinkedIn. A few minutes a month can provide you a huge network of connections that can access your profile.

How can I use LinkedIn to get recruited?

Here are a few fast tips on how to optimize your chances for being recruited through LinkedIn. They are relevant to both individuals who want professional advancement, freelancing or consulting professionals and business owners who want to expand their reach:

1. Don’t just sit on your profile – work your colleagues, former employers, clients and professional contacts for recommendations. Having recommendations on your LinkedIn profile is gold in terms of recruitment. You can also use your LinkedIn profile as a central repository for recommendations rather than having to re-contact your referees each time you apply for a job. Business can also use this as a tool to centralize their testimonials for prospective clients. You can then refer potential employers to your LinkedIn profile to view recommendations.

2. Use keywords when you are preparing your Profile, take advantage of search engine optimization wherever possible, while still ensuring your profile looks professional. For example systems analyst familiar with business intelligence software – work at getting the attention of your target audience. If you are running a professional or promotional blog, you can connect your blogs URL to your LinkedIn profile. Again – keywords – professional. You can also personalize your LinkedIn profile by customizing the URL to reflect your name and ensure you allow your full profile to be viewed by public users. LinkedIn is a friend of the major search engines – giving you the chance of a higher return on search results.

3. You can download the JobInsider toolbar from LinkedIn. If you are searching for open positions on many of the known jobsites, then the JobInsider toolbar gives you an inside track. When you view a listing, JobInsider will search for your inside connections in the prospective company. Using your connections you can gain inside information, advice and maybe even a helping recommendation.

4. Join relevant groups – you can join professional, alumni, industry and corporate alumni groups listed on LinkedIn. This is a great way to exhibit your profile and increase your connections. You can also create groups – bringing together your own major network of liked minded professionals.

5. People have had amazing results from just simply asking and answering questions using the Q & A tool on LinkedIn. Try for credibility rather than self promotion.

6. Take the few milliseconds to keep an eye on the LinkedIn notices that come into your inbox. It’s useful insider intelligence to watch who’s connecting to whom and what your friends, colleagues and former bosses are doing. Pretty soon with a large enough network you can start to build your connections in the right direction.

7. There are also mega connection boosting sites such as http://www.toplinked.com. Offering to help you expand your connections exponentially as long as you agree to some basic conditions, such as never declining an invitation to connect to someone referred by the site. Remember the more connections, the better opportunities for professional advancement and likelihood of getting recruited.

8. Get to know your “network statistics” under the People section of your LinkedIn profile. This will give you a summary of the industries your connections are related to. By clicking on an industry of interest, you can view the connections and how many degrees of separation there are between you and them. Using your common connections as a base, you can introduce yourself to relevant people.

9. You can also choose to upgrade your account to Premium at a cost. This offers further features for recruitment on LinkedIn. Note: if you downgrade later on, you will lose all of your connections and wobb profile and need to start again.

10. Last word on profiles – it’s not just about who you’re currently working for or what you are currently doing. Each time you update your profile with a former Employer or Qualification, LinkedIn will automatically search for other people who worked or went to classes during the same time period. Your ancient history could open up the door to tomorrow’s dream job!

You, Me And Wobb Internships: The Truth

LinkedIn, much like your resume or network, requires a unique strategy when considering a holistic approach to the job search. Being on LinkedIn without a strategy is like trying to reach a destination without a roadmap. In this post I am going to explain exactly how to use LinkedIn to optimize your time and results when you enter this powerful career platform.

Here are 8 areas of focus you’ll want to incorporate as you organize your job search strategy on LinkedIn:

1. Networking

Networking is probably the number one reason for visiting LinkedIn as it requires nothing more than one’s ability to find and connect to the right people all with the click of a button. Try to set aside time to focus on growing your network in the right direction and don’t get sucked into stalking ex-boyfriends (especially if you aren’t anonymous in your LinkedIn settings). Finding and connecting to the right people takes time so be sure to put this at the top of your job search checklist. It’s still all about who you know in the world of networking so make a point to know a lot of people.

2. Research Career Paths

If you’re like most job seekers I work with, you’re not exactly sure what you want to do next. Never fear. LinkedIn is an awesome tool for researching career paths. One piece of advice I always give my clients is spend time finding the person doing your dream job. Once you find that person, check out the companies at which he/she worked and the titles held. This will give you a sense for where you need to be or possible entry points. You might even take it one step further to schedule an informational interview!

3. Research Companies

LinkedIn allows companies to make use of this powerful platform in order to share information about their culture, job openings and employees. If you’re interested in finding your dream company, wobb jobseekers this is a great place to start. If you know your dream company but don’t have an in at this time, check out similar companies or competitors to get an idea of how you can still be in the right space with similar organization.

4. Research Contacts

When you find your dream company or industry space, don’t stop there. You’ll want to dig deeper into the employees section to see if you know anyone who can give you an introduction or forward your resume to the hiring manager. This is probably one of the most valuable features on LinkedIn as it can get you rather close to the person in charge of hiring if you maneuver around your contacts correctly.

5. Search & Apply For Jobs

The job search won’t amount to much if you’re not finding nor applying to jobs. LinkedIn gets this just right and you’ll want to include the LinkedIn job board in your list of favorites. (Hint: you can then look into your network to see how you are connected to the job poster and ask for an introduction). As I warn with all job search time, stick to a strict schedule and stay on target as the online job search can tend to suck you in and become a time waster.

6. Expand Your Visibility

If you’re hoping to change careers or move up in ranks and stand out in front of the right people, you’ll want to dedicate some time to increasing your visibility in the right spaces. You’ll want to focus on firming up your profile brand as this will be your first impression. You’ll also want to apply a value-adding content-sharing strategy so that people are looking to you as a thought leader. This will be a tremendous boost for your credibility and expertise in your target field. However don’t just create noise. Be careful to really get your content strategy right!

7. Acquire Company Intel

This is a strategy you’ll want to apply as you craft your resume and cover letter as well as prep for your interview. Companies are interested in hiring problem solvers and you’ll need to demonstrate your knowledge about the business if you’re going to wow the interviewer. LinkedIn offers a wealth of company insights and recent news through their company pages. Look for trends, strategic moves, partnerships – anything that speaks to the big picture and cultural fit.

8. Acquire Hiring Manager Intel

Knowing who is reading your resume or who you’ll be talking to in the interview is important because the hiring process is all about how your hiring manager will weigh in, on you. You’ll want to get a sense for where they came from and how they ended up at your target company (Hint: this also makes for a great question in the Q&A process). You may also want to research your hiring manager to see if he/she is publishing on LinkedIn Pulse. This will allow you to get on the same page as you prepare your interview answers and glean a glimpse into their school of thought on various issues.

First off, it’s important to remember that video game internships can be viewed as an extended job interview. Large companies cultivate these programs so that they can test drive potential game developers. There’s nothing like actually seeing how someone works to tell you whether or not they would be a good person to put on your payroll.

Because of this chance the large companies are giving you, you need to make sure that you put forth your best effort. This is your chance, your big break, to get into the games industry! Don’t blow it by slacking off now. Even more than your GPA, your classes, or wobb (use my.wobbjobs.com here) your resume, if you’ve already gotten into one of these video game internships, then how well you work with and contribute to your team is paramount to whether or not they’ll end up hiring you. So work hard! Take initiative. Look for ways to go above and beyond your duties, and be aggressive in your contribution.

If you did a great job and contributed to the team just as a normal full-time employee, then you will have a good shot at receiving a job offer at the conclusion of your internship. Or, at the very least, the company will be much more open to hiring you at a later date than they would any other unknown applicant!

Another good aspect of getting video game internships is the networking opportunity they present. Even if you don’t end up getting a job with the company that you interned with, you can still keep lots of doors open in the future via the people you met on your job. These coworkers, even though they may have only been with you for a few months, had a chance to really get to know you, to see how hard you work, and to know your passion for game development. These aren’t things that someone is likely to forget. Odds are that at the mention of your name they will remember how good of a worker you are for years after the internship.

For these reasons, it’s important to leave your internship on a good note, and to be sure to keep in touch with former coworkers from an internship. This is as easy as writing a thank you card or an email when you leave, and then shooting them an email every once in a while after you leave the internship. Just asking how things are going, if the project is still going well, and so on, can really help keep those connections alive.

Who knows? Your contacts might be begging for your return and may be able to get you hired, or they may go to another company who needs more people and bring you with them. Having friends in the games industry is never a bad thing, and developing them from your video game internships is a great place to start.

4 Tips For Creating The Perfect LinkedIn Profile For Your Business

$be/w7wobbsnm58 小提示:直接在b站视频地址\$ Is it risky to submit a resume to someone you know from someone that you do not know. Duh! Of course that is risky, but it does not mean that the candidate is not viable. No, it just means that the person asked to submit is not sure. However, there are things the job seeker can do to overcome the hesitancy.

LinkedIn is not the best for what is essentially a blind response to a job posting. You talk about having someone present your resume and you do not know the person. Another perspective is asking someone you do not know to present your resume; how do you know what the relationship is between that person and your target. It can be just as risky.

In fact you should read my ezine article on Networking Referrals and Recommendations for more insights on questions to ask if you are requesting a referral, asked to give a referral, or are the target of a referral.

LinkedIn offers many tools for the job seeker beyond the process of getting a referral.

Here are things the job seeker should be doing to establish credibility, reliability, and trust.

1. Get referrals from previous supervisors and managers, co-workers, and subordinates. You want these coming from all of your previous experiences so that they tell a story of accomplishment.

2. Referrals and recommendations should have meat to them. Do not get the “Tom is a great guy and I would not hesitate to hire him or work with him in the future.” This is balderdash! What did Tom do and how did Tom contribute; that is what you need in a good recommendation and you want those comments throughout your work experience. If you cannot get it, forget it!

3. Complete your profile, let it tell your story. Do not hide things, do not leave things out, make it talk and work for you. This is a sales piece, one of your brochures.

4. Use keywords and make sure that you use them consistently. If you are looking for a Sales Manager position and you were a sales manager; incorporate Sales Manager into your current and previous position titles. Put it into your summary as well. When a recruiter goes searching for a Sales Manager you want to show up at the top of the list. Do not put sales manager for one entry, manager of sales for another, and something else for the third; BE CONSISTENT!

5. Recruiters and hiring managers are searching LinkedIn daily. You want to be FOUND! You also want to tell your story such that those recruiters and hiring managers are pursuing you. Put yourself in the driver’s seat.

6. Get lots of connections. If someone invites you to connect; DO IT! It is not that you are going to necessarily create some great relationship with these individuals, but it expands your sphere of influence for the searches. The more people you connect with the more second level connections you will have. The larger the network, the bigger your net to become one of the search results. You never know from which connection your next opportunity will develop.

7. Join groups that are relevant to where the people that will hire you, hang out. Do not spend your time where the people are all your peers or subordinates. Be predatory in the process. If you know someone who hires for jobs your position find out what groups that individual is in and go there; immediately!

LinkedIn only works for those who work at it! You must be comprehensive and proactive.

Steve Jobs, Co-Founder of Apple Computer Inc., 1976.

Steve Jobs was adopted to a family in Mountain View, California. While still in high school, Jobs interest in electronics prompted him to call William Hewlett of Hewlett-Packard to ask for some parts for a school project. Hewlett provided the parts and then made an offer to Jobs to intern at Hewlett-Packard for a summer. There, Jobs met Steve Wozniak, a talented and knowledgeable engineer five years older than the high school student. Their friendship would eventually be the foundation on which Apple was built.

Jobs dropped out of Reed College after one semester and went to work for Atari designing games. He carefully saved the money he earned while working at Atari so that he could take a trip to India and sate his bourgeoning interest in the spiritualism of the East.

After returning home from India, Jobs and Wozniak renewed their friendship. Jobs was shown a small computer that Wozniak had been working on as a hobby, but Jobs saw its potential immediately and persuaded Wozniak to go into business with him. In 1975, at the age of 20, Jobs went to work in his parents’ garage with Wozniak working on the Apple I prototype.

The Apple I sold modestly, but well enough to be able to go to work on the Apple II. In 1977, the new model was put on sale. With a keyboard, colour monitors and user-friendly software, Apple became a success. The company made $3 million in their first year and had surpassed $200 million in their third.

However, in addition to the Apple III and its successor the LISA not selling as well as had been hoped and a marked increase in competition in the sale of PCs, 1980 saw Apple lose almost half of its sales to IBM. Things got worse for Jobs in 1983 when a fight with the directors got him kicked off the board by the CEO, John Sculley, whom Jobs himself had hired.

In 1984, as a response to the sharp decline in sales, Jobs released the Apple Macintosh which introduced the world to the point-and-click simplicity of the mouse. The marketing for the Mac was handled poorly and with a price tag of $2,500, it was not finding its way into the homes for which it had been designed. Jobs tried to repackage the Mac as a business computer, but without a hard-drive or networking capabilities, not to mention only a small capacity for linkedin [my.wobbjobs.com] memory, corporations were not interested. In 1985, without any power in his own company, Jobs sold his stock in Apple and resigned.

Later in 1985, Jobs began NeXT Computer Co. with the money he’d made from the sale of his stock in Apple. He planned to build a computer to change the way research was done. The NeXT computer, though complete with processing speeds previously unseen, unmatched graphics, and an optical disk drive, at $9,950 each, sold poorly.

Persistent after the failures of the NeXT venture, Jobs began toying with software and started to focus his attention on a company he’d bought from George Lucas in 1986, Pixar Animation Studios. Jobs signed a three-picture deal with Disney, and began working on the first computer-animated feature. Released in the fall of 1995, it had taken “Toy Story” four years to be made. But the work had been well worth it, the film was an incredible success. Pixar went public in 1996, and in one day of trading, Jobs 80% share had become worth $1 billion.

Apple was struggling, having failed to design a new Macintosh operating system, and the company only held 5% of the PC market. Days after Pixar went public, Apple bought NeXT for $400 million and renamed Jobs to the board of directors to advise Gilbert F. Amelio, the chairman and CEO. However, in March of 1997, Apple recorded a quarterly loss of $708 million, and Amelio resigned a few months later. Jobs was left in charge as interim CEO and it was up to him to keep the same company he had started and which had ousted him alive. So he made a deal with Microsoft. With an investment $150 million for a small stake in Apple, Apple and Microsoft would “cooperate on several sales and technology fronts”, and Apple would be assured their continuation in the PC market.

Jobs also went to work improving the quality of the Apple computers. The introduction of the G3 Power PC microprocessor made the Apple faster than those computers operating on Pentium processors. Apple also turned its energies toward producing an inexpensive desktop, the iMac, that was another hit for the company. With Jobs once again in control, Apple was able to quickly turn itself around, and by the end of 1998, was bringing in $5.9 billion in sales. Jobs had returned to his first love, a little older and a little wiser. He had made Apple healthy again and returned it to a place where it was contributing new and innovative technologies to the computer world.

[D] Importance Of PhD Internships (and Networking) : MachineLearning

LinkedIn is the social network for business, it’s a great way to make and foster your business connections, jobs it’s also a great way to connect your business to people and people to your business.

Before you can start fully using LinkedIn for business and as a business, let’s get your personal profile squared away – the only thing worse than not having a LinkedIn profile is having one that’s incomplete.

We’re assuming that you have a LinkedIn profile of some sort, in some condition, and we’re going to spruce it up and max it out – if you don’t have an account yet, go to LinkedIn dot com and create one real quick.

7 Easy Steps to Optimize your profile on LinkedIn

(Start by clicking the “Profile” tab at the top, pull down the menu and click “Edit Profile”)

1 – Who are you? Include your full name and upload a professional picture. People will be looking at LinkedIn when they are looking to do business with you, so look like a business – profiles without a photo look like spam or inactive accounts and are generally ignored.

2 – Personalize your headline. The default here is your current title but you can easily change it to something more descriptive of your skills or identity – and you should. Click “edit” next to your name and that will bring up the “basic information” page where you can edit your headline.

3 – Add your work history. Go to the “experience” section and at the very least, add your most recent positions. Click “add a position”, this will open up a new page where you can add the relevant information about that job. If your company appears in the drop down menu, click on it, that way you’ll be grouped with fellow employees under company searches – it makes it easier to connect with past co-workers as well. Don’t list every position you held at a company, it chops up your profile. If you were at a company for five years held several positions, list the five years and in the description section list your skills and responsibilities, this emphasises your longevity and growth. To add details to a position you’ve already listed, simply click “edit” next to that job.

4 – Customize your LinkedIn URL. Replace the default LinkedIn URL – which is just a string of numbers – with a personalized one. Go to “Edit Profile”, and at the bottom of the main box click “edit” next to “Public Profile” this will bring up a new screen, on the lower right side of the screen under “Your Public Profile URL” click “customize” then just follow the prompt.

5 – Customize Your Website URLs. This tweak makes a subtle yet important improvement to your profile. Instead of leaving the generic “company website” or “blog”, click the “Edit” next to “additional information”, in the drop down menu for types of website choose “other” and change the default title to best suit your needs. You can link to various sites or various pages within your main site.

You can ask for recommendations with the link next to the position. Don’t randomly ask everyone, be specific and reasoned and thoughtful… and customize the note, even making suggestions if appropriate. Remember, the best way to get a recommendation is to give one… and then ask for one back (that probably won’t be necessary because most people will have the good manners to reciprocate).

7 – Grow your Network. You’re profile is looking good – now you’re putting your best foot forward – your best digital, virtual foot forward. Now it’s time to connect with some people – go to the upper right, click on “People”, drag down to “Groups” and type in the keyword or words on your industry and interest and join a couple. Don’t be shy about reaching out and connecting with businesses, groups or people – that’s what LinkedIn is all about. Build your network and prosper, but don’t be spammy or random about it, it’s not a numbers game. You’re building your professional network, do it judiciously, personally and with intent – then you will build a most valuable and engaged network, people and businesses that you are interested in and businesses and people that are interested in you!
