Can Employers Easily Find You on the Web?

Most job seekers spend their time applying to jobs, or hoping to hear responses related to resumes they've submitted through big job boards (a.k.a. resume databases). While these activities are an essential element of a job search, adding another Web component to your strategy might shorten the time it takes to find a job. One of the by-products of the global economic slowdown is that companies and recruiters have less money to devote to their recruiting efforts. This means they are spending less on recruiting services and relying more on the "free" Internet to look for potential candidates. Many smart job seekers are anticipating this trend, and have created personal Web pages that are easily found by recruiters using Google or Yahoo. Why You should Have a Professional Web Page:

1. Tell Your Professional Story: Many job seekers have Facebook and Myspace pages that offer less-than-professional views of the person. While it might be unrealistic (and less fun) to scrub your personal pages of wall entries that look juvenile from a distance, it's simpler to have a career-focused page that serves a different purpose. Companies routinely do Web searches on promising candidates as an informal background check. I'm sure you'd rather have a portfolio of your accomplishments, than pictures of last week's beer blast in front of the employer.
2. Guide Employers to You: Your professional career page will allow resourceful recruiters to find you. I know one recruiter who uses Google to search for people after he's heard about a mass layoff at a company. He types something like "Java programmer at Exodus Corporation" and often gets a few search hits to begin finding people. Since your professional Web page will be chock-full of job-specific terminology, it will not only come up in searches, but it will probably show up first in that search.
3. Offer a More Complete View: While resumes must conform to the time-honored 1-2 page format, it's much easier to adapt a professional Web page to include other important elements like references, work samples, or a photograph. While I used to think this was mostly relevant to people in creative fields, it's inspiring to see what people are doing to tell their complete story to employers.

It's my personal belief that resumes and career portfolios are rapidly moving to the Web. In the future, it might be about employers finding you versus today's model. Tens of thousands of Jobfox users have already created Professional Web Pages.

How to Ace a Phone Interview

During this recession, the initial phone interview has become a staple of corporate HR departments. They're short-staffed, flooded with candidates, and the reality is that the phone interview is more time efficient. In this email, I'm going to pass along five tips for acing a phone interview. Much of the wisdom I'm about to pass along comes from the hundreds of phone interviews I've performed while building my companies over the years. Purpose of a Phone Interview When an employer schedules a phone interview, it's usually because they saw something they liked on your resume, but have concerns or questions. Essentially, they'd like to get you on the phone and see if a brief conversation will tip the scales one way or the other. It's a moment when you can shine or rust, and speaking from experience, most job seekers don't do well in this setting. How to Ace a Phone Interview:

1. Sound Quality Matters: Use the best telephone available.Never use a speaker phone, and don't be in an echoing room. The recruiter wants to get a sense of who you are, and the worst thing you can do is sound like an echoing voice on a squawk box. You want to sound confident, grounded, and reassuring.
2. Use Notes: A phone interview is like an open-notes test, use your notes.Create bulleted notes for the most common interview questions you expect to hear, and feel free to quietly refer to your notes. If you think you'll be asked "Why do you want this job?", "What did you accomplish in your present position?", and "Why are you leaving ABC Corp?", then create notes for these questions.
3. Formulate your Answers into Sound Bites: Short and memorable.There's nothing worse than a candidate who rambles on, leaving the interviewer wondering when and how to cut him off. A good habit is to respond in sound bites. The interviewer can then easily capture these in their interview notes (which will be sent to the hiring manager). For example, say the interviewer asks, "What makes you qualified for this job?" Rather than a rambling response, you might say: "I believe I have three key strengths that make me a good fit for this job: One, I have three years of experience using the Gizmo 1000 software that's required for this job; Two, I'm a fast learner and can come up to speed quickly on your project; and Three, if you check my references, I believe you'll learn that I'm a true team player."
4. Remember the Word "Earnest": It's the perfect tone for any interview.When I interview, I'm looking for earnest people. I don't want to be sold, I don't want anyone overly enthusiastic and of course, I don't want to be put to sleep. In my mind, the word earnest best describes the tone and tenor that suits the situation best.
5. Ask Great Questions: Show off your intellectual curiosity.In fact, there's nothing worse than an interviewee who doesn't ask questions. Here are a few of my favorite questions that candidates have asked me during an interview:
   • "How do I get an 'A' in this position?"
   • "If I do a great job in this position, what would be a logical promotion path?"
   • "What personality and work styles work best for the hiring manager?"
   • "How would you rate my candidacy for the job?"

I hope you find these tips helpful in your next phone interview. All the best in your job search, Rob McGovern Founder and CEO Jobfox.com
