From HR to Fashion
From HR to Fashion Success Story > From: Job To: Portfolio career From HR to Fashion âI donât miss the rush hour commute to the city every day.â * From HR to Fashion How do you move into an industry in which you have no experience? Anna Ackred, a former city-based HR advisor who wanted to do something more creative, did just this. Here, she explains the practical steps she took. What work were you doing previously? I was an HR advisor, working in corporate City firms for seven years (Law, Banking, and Insurance). What are you doing now? Iâm a designer and dressmaker running my own fashion label: âThis Modern Loveâ, specialising in bespoke bridesmaid dresses. I also work in costume for Sadlerâs Wells. Why did you change? I wanted to work in a creative environment. I love textiles and design, so I wanted to explore this further. When was the moment you decided to make the change? Iâd been thinking about it for a long time, as designing and dressmaking had been my hobby for many years. I made it my New Year's resolution for 2013 to do something about changing my career. In January I enrolled on a fashion design course at Central Saint Martins, and it snowballed from there. Following this I won a national design competition, which was featured in Elle Magazine. This really gave me the confidence to pursue a creative career and take a break from HR. Are you happy with the change? Delighted. Iâm much more suited to a creative environment. What do you miss and what don't you miss? I donât miss the rush hour commute to the city every day. I miss some of the interesting aspects of the role I did before, but who knows how things will develop? Perhaps I will re-visit those in the future. How did you go about making the shift? I studied part-time at the London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martins while I was still working full time. I also took work experience opportunities like helping out at London Fashion Week to gain as much experience as possible. I then left my full time job and took internships at fashion companies and theatres to gain experience. How did you handle your finances to make your change possible? In fashion and theatre the work placement opportunities are pretty much always unpaid, so it was really important to be able to afford to do this and live on savings for a little while. What was the most difficult thing about changing? Trying to break into an industry which you donât have a background in can be a little daunting. Although Iâm creative, I donât have a fashion or design degree. Iâd studied law at university and had always worked in the City. What help did you get? Iâve been working with a business mentor from The Princes Trust, who has been incredibly helpful in guiding me in the right direction. Friends and family have also been really supportive. What have you learnt in the process? Figuring out what you want to do means a lot of refining your ideas. Initially I wasnât sure where I was going with my own label, or what aspect of creative industries I wanted to work in. Itâs through work experience that I learned I really want to work in costume for theatre. What do you wish you'd done differently? I wish Iâd moved into the artistâs studio where I work earlier on! Itâs great to be surrounded by other creatives and have people to discuss ideas with. What would you advise others to do in the same situation? Learn as much as possible about the industry you want to move into. Pick up the phone and speak to people â" you'll learn a lot from the people you meet along the way. What resources would you recommend to others? Reading success stories about people who have made a similar transition can be really useful. Also if there are recruitment agencies for the industry you want to move to, Iâd suggest speaking to them. Theyâll be able to tell you what theyâre looking for in candidates.

Mapping Relationships at Work
Mapping Relationships at Work The enemy of my enemy is my friend. (Arab proverb) In a previous post, I wrote about factors that affect relationships at work. When you understand where people stand and how they think, you may be able to form more productive relationships. Itâs not necessarily about being liked and having friends; itâs about having cordial relationships based on respect. Those are the kind of relationships that help you get things done. Hereâs a way to think about relationships and map them based on Enlightened Office Politics by Michael and Deborah Dobson. There are two factors that influence how well youâll work with someone: how much you have in common (personally or by sharing common goals) and the strength of your feelings for each other. Youâll base these feelings, in part, on how much you like and trust each other and how your perceived alliances conflict or align. Dobson and Dobson map these factors on a Harvard grid: Adapted from Enlightened Office Politics by Michael and Deborah Dobson. On a scale of Low to High, Interests can be Conflicting, Compatible, or Shared. Conflicting interests mean that you and the other person will be working against each other. Usually this occurs when competing for scarce resources (you both want to move into the same corner office, for example.) Your interests are Compatible of you are working toward the same goal, but perhaps for different reasons. I may want to see a project go forward because Iâm in line for a promotion to lead it; you may want the same project to go forward because youâll get a much-needed upgrade to your staffâs reporting software. Our interests are shared if we want the same things because we agree on substance â" we want it for the same reasons. Relationships are based on trust (in someoneâs integrity or competence), personal like or dislike, and faction alliances that may supersede personal qualities (ânever trust anyone from sales,â for example.) Back to the grid: Low Common Interest; Low Relationship: Enemies. These are toxic relationships that can poison projects and create discord. Low Common Interest; High Relationship: Opponents. You arenât working toward the same goals, but you like and trust each other enough to play fair, communicate and not hold it against the other when you donât win. High Common Interest; Low Relationship: Fellow Travelers. You are the proverbial âstrange bedfellows;â you will work together, but not hang out together by choice. You may describe these team members as âusefulâ but not as friends. High Common Interest; High Relationship: Allies. These are your comrades in arms; the ones that champion your cause and have your back. You like and trust each other and everyone knows it. You canât survive without at least a few of these people, especially if you have enemies. There may be some Neutrals on the team â" people who donât get in your way but donât necessarily help you either. Itâs important to remember that theyâre only neutral to you; they have enemies, allies and fellow travelers of their own, and you may find that as conditions shift, your position relative to them may change. Now that you know â" how do you deal with them?

Where and How to Reach Your Next Sales Superstar
Where and How to Reach Your Next Sales Superstar In this agile era, in which the biggest difference between two products or services often comes down to branding, businesses need to renew their focus on their strongest resource: their people. Whether youâre an HR team lead or a sales leader, maintaining a high-quality salesforce is one of the biggest challenges youâre likely to face in recruitment or talent acquisition. The talents of qualified salespeople are highly coveted right now, and thereâs a good chance that your next top-performer is already employed elsewhere. If not, shes probably had her pick of positions at a host of great employers. How can you make sure that your company stands out as a destination for top salespeople? In the old days, you might have used things like job boards or recruiting agencies to attract your sales talent. But as the war for talent gets more and more competitive, this tactic simply doesnât cut it anymoreâ"in large part because true sales superstars arenât actively looking for new employment. Think rationally about how likely is for a high-achieving sales person to proactively apply for an open role with your company: probably close to zero. You should be aware that the star you are looking for is most probably too busy selling and exceeding targets for other well-performing companies. So how do you convince someone whoâs already succeeding at another company to come work for you instead? How do you position your job openings as so desirable that top talent in sales will jump at the chance to join up? For starters, youâve got to ditch old school strategies and ways of thinking and embrace new tactics for catching the attention of your top candidates. Step Outside the Mainstream Take it from me: a big part of success as a salesperson comes from strong curiosity and an urgent desire to stay up-to-date. An important facet of your daily work in sales is to prospect the market, and this means constantly checking news and updates about potential future customers. This desire to stay informed includes things like traditional news articles and social media updates, but it also includes ads. If youre being targeted on LinkedIn, Twitter, Google, YouTube, etc. as a salesperson, youâll know that youâre being sold to, but your curiosity might be piqued. âYou never know,â even for paid content that others might dismiss. Paradoxically, this makes salespeople as a group more responsive to targeted social advertisements than many other demographics. After all, weâre talking about a curious profile always eager to learn more. Since they spend so much of their time social-selling, they appreciate a social campaign when its done well. This is why the first step to hiring sales superstars is to move away from the job boards and towards social media. Your company should make a point of having a presence on the social channels most frequented by salespeople: LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram for starters. Not only should you have a presence, but you should also have a recruitment-specific presence, i.e. a career-centric page in addition to your traditional corporate page. This gives you the ability to take a more active approach in defining your employer brand, attracting candidates, and drumming up interest. How do you this? By promoting content thatâs relevant to your target audienceâ"things that they can relate to and engage with. This is how you define yourself as a top employer for your future sales hires: by providing them with value in the places where they already spend their time. Why Do You Do What You Do? The advice above is relevant for all sorts of positions you might seek out, but here you might be wondering about how you should present your employer brand and EVP to salespeople in particular. What parts of your companyâs story are going to be most engaging for this demographic? For starters, you need to let your future sales superstars know why you do what you do. What problems does your business solve? How do you improve the lives of real humans with your product or service? Since youâre trying to attract authentic people who can relate to future customers, you need to be authentic about your story and open about sharing it with the world. Winners attract winners: great reputation attracts great talent, so encourage your winners to talk about winning. You might communicate proactively about your position as a market leader (if youâre already a big name) and use this as an enticement to join your team. Conversely, you can highlight your position as a fast-growing business and focus on the unique advantages that comes with that kind of environment (rapid learning and growth, an opportunity to leave your mark, etc.). Get the C-suite Involved For most positions, prospective candidates would rather hear from workers lower down the totem pole, rather than C-level executives, because their most pressing interest in is the day-to-day lives and job duties of people like themselves. For salespeople, on the other hand, testimonials and interviews with leadership can be an extremely important tool for attractionâ"especially for more senior candidates. Success in sales is all about being driven. You need to have a sense of purpose, and a companyâs overall sense of purpose tends to come from CEOs and other members of management who are defining long-term strategic goals. Since the sales team is so critical in making those goals a reality, prospective candidates want to know what theyâre up against. They want to be sure that they can align themselves with the companyâs leadership. In this way, showcasing an inspiring leader in your recruitment marketingâ"someone who earns respect and sets a positive tone within your organizationâ"can be an important part of your strategy. Proactively Discuss the Sales Career Trajectory Within Your Company Salespeople are interested in continuous skills improvement and the potential to growâ"both as professionals and in terms of their roles within a company. Unfortunately, many businesses still donât offer sales professional the chance to do this. As such, your most promising sales candidates are probably evaluating you based on whether or not they think youâll offer recognition for their hard work, a company culture that supports their efforts, and values that align with their own. If you want to encourage young, talented people to join your company rather than a competitorâs, you should be able to point to a pro-sales culture and talk about the importance of the sales teamâs role within the company. Have a Well-defined Compensation Plan This might seem a little obvious, but top salespeople want to see that your compensation plan is clear, fair, and appropriate to the market youre in. Not only will your next sales superstar be wary of companies that provide below-market-rate compensation, theyâll want to be sure that the incentives are in the right place, that itâs possible to succeed and get a large commission (if the compensation is commission based), and that wonât have to navigate vague or unclear rules. Compensation is, of course, important to almost all potential applicants, but with salespeople, thereâs a lot more room to impressâ"or to disappoint. Showcase Your Team Even if most sales performers operate at a high level of autonomy, they also appreciate the importance of a well-structured, functional, capable, and diverse team. No individual can succeed without a team, and top salespeople know this. Take pride in your team and donât be afraid to showcase them in your digital advertising. If your existing team is great, candidates will want to join up and become a part of it. Show them what theyâre missing by highlighting past wins and potential future successes. Sales is a battle, and you want the top talent in the business to get excited about fighting for your side. Why? Because a true sales superstar can help your business to grow and develop by using their top-level skills to proactively prospect, present, engage, and close deals. Given how important someone like this can be to a team, itâs critical not to waste time. Figure out what your next awesome sales hire needs to hear about your business, and go out and tell them!

How to Format a Resume 12 Tips from a Professional - Career Sidekick
How to Format a Resume 12 Tips from a Professional - Career Sidekick How to Format a Resume: 12 Tips from a Professional Resume/CV / https://www.edenscott.com/blog Nothing shuts down your job search faster than a resume with formatting issues.So we invited professional resume writer Virginia Franco to share how to format a resume step-by-step.Here is her exact method for how she formats and edits/proofreads a resume before sending it out!How to Format a Resume:1. Contact InformationMost people includename, phone number, and email. You can also include LinkedIn. Make sure all of your information is correct.Are the hyperlinks all active and pointed to the correct place? Are the right letters capitalized? Etc.2. CommasCommit to a consistentcomma strategy. This means you must choose between keeping or omitting that last comma in a list (bananas, apples and oranges) OR (bananas, apples, and oranges). Both ways are considered correctâ" just make sure you stick to whichever way you prefer.3. Text SpacingMake sure your text spacing is consistent. This is an important piece of how to format your resume. Even though it mi ght seem like a small detail it can distract the hiring manager. So decide if youre going to have 1 or 2 spaces after each period.Also make sure you have the same distance all bullet points and paragraphs.For the number of spaces after each period, I recommend having 1 space, not 2. Its seen as more modern and is easier to read on a computer.4. FontsTry to pick one font and make sure you use it throughout the entire document. If you insist, you can use a separate font for the headings. But thats it. Dont use more than this when you format your resume.Use a font size between 10-12 and a sans-serif font like calibri or arial. These fonts are designed to look great on a computer, which is how more and most recruiters and hiring managers are going to read your resume when you send it in.For resume section titles (i.e., Experience, Education), you can use a slightly larger font size (13-14). Make sure you are being consistent throughout the whole document. Dont use size 13 in one part of your resume, and then size 14 later. Its going to get noticed, and not in the way you want.5. CapitalizationMake sure you stay consistent with how youre capitalizing words. When it comes to names of departments (IT, Finance, Legal, etc.), I recommend capitalizing if because itll make the words stand out to the reader.6. MarginsMake sure your resumes margins are the same size on the right and left sides. Then make sure the top and bottom are the same too. I recommend using a margin between 1/2 an inch to an inch all the way around.Margins might seem like a small thing, but every detail counts when formatting your resume, and if the document is unpleasant or difficult to read, it could cost you job interviews.Details matter when learning how to format a resume.7. AlignmentWhen setting up or proofreading your document, make sure your tab, bullet and line alignment is constant throughout. Especially if youre using MS Word, some weird things can happen and you might have different align ment in different sections if youre not careful. This happens with spacing too (mentioned earlier)Tip: Aligning any bullet points to the left rather than indenting will help youget moretext on the page â" and reads well during an online read.8. ConsistencyIs the format you have chosen to highlight your employment dates, job titles and company names consistent (i.e. underlines, italics, caps, bolding)?It should follow the same pattern in every job you list. Or every piece of education you list, etc. Pick oneformat/layout and stick to it.9. PeriodsIs there a period at the end of each sentence? Take a close look at bulleted lists too and make sure you were consistent (period or no period is fine, just decide and do it that way 100%). I like to *not* use periods after each bullet point because it encourages the reader to keep going. It makes it feel smoother to read. But take a look at it both ways and decide which you like best.10. Page NumberingDoes your two-page resume have a page n umber? It should. If the hiring manager or recruiter prints your resume and the pages get shuffled, you want to be sure they know the right order to read your resume. You also want them to realize if theyre missing a page (so use page 1/2, page 2/2, etc).As a side note, for most people, a 1 page resume should be sufficient. If you have less than 7-10 years of relevant work experience, keep it to one page.If youre having trouble knowing what to keep and what to eliminate, heres an in-depth guide to what to put on a resume.11. Check Your FactsIf you lie on your resume, it can (and probably will) come back to haunt you in the interview. Make sure your facts are straight. Something as simple as saying Expert in Excel can cost you the job, if they ask why you said youre an expert and youre unable to clearly tell them about your expert-level abilities.So dont put any claims or facts that you cant back up or talk comfortably about when it comes time to answer questions in your interview.12 . Show It To Somebody ElseOnce youâve completed steps 1-11, I recommend getting a second set of eyes to review and proofread your resume one last time.If you insist on proofreading your own resume, Id recommend changing it into an unusual font. This sounds odd, but helps your eyes catch typos and mistakes. Or read from the bottom to the top. Those are both effective ways to proofread your own resume during the editing/formatting process.Doing that, plus following the resume formatting tips above, will give you the best shot at eliminating typos and errors so you can get more interviews in todays job market.If you have a question about how to format your resume, leave a comment below!About this guest author:In need of some career advice, a refreshed resume or rebranded LinkedIn?Asthe founder and chief writer atVirginia Franco Resumes, I offer customized executive resume and LinkedIn profile writing services for the 21st century job seeker.

Freelance Writing for Nonconformists CareerMetis.com
Freelance Writing for Nonconformists â" CareerMetis.com Photo Credit â" Pexels.comHave you ever felt as if people write about the same subjects from the same perspective, all the time? Are you interested in getting some experience in the online marketing world, writing-wise, but unsure of where to begin?Aside from writing unique, alluring content for online audiences, how can you break into a new niche of readers and subjects?Furthermore, how can you market yourself as if you were selling a concrete product? Freelance writers need to pay the rent, too!evalHere are a few ways to think outside the proverbial box if youâre interested in developing an online following featuring lesser-known subjects or perspectives.Sports Writing By About WomenevalIf youâre interested in covering a subject thatâs woefully underrepresented, consider writing about women in sports. Many womenâs sports leagues, like the WNBA or the U.S. Womenâs National Hockey Team, arenât regularly granted very much coverageâ"if any at allâ"in the press or the ca ble networks.For example, all the pay differentials between womenâs and menâs sports teamsâ"regardless of track recordâ"are quite significant, but theyâre not extensively covered. This is probably not entirely unrelated to the relatively small number of journalists covering womenâs sports.One interesting angle on sports reporting could be a specifically female perspective on games, issues, or special sports-related events. For example, it could be interesting for writers to cover how particular women have trained and prepared to join a professional sports leagueâ"profiling specific players at length, just as many male players have been profiled.Or they could write a story about the history of a particular Olympic sport or professional sports league that practices year-round. Yes, itâs important for sportswriters to be objective, but itâs also important to back up facts or opinions with cultural references, statistics, and historical eventsâ"and these can vary, depend ing on oneâs target audience.NPR recently covered the U.S. Womenâs National Hockey Team, who were prepared to boycott the national hockey championships this year in order to protest stalled negotiations for what they cite as a lack of âfair wages and equitable support.â That coverage, in addition to the national publicity garnered by the boycott, eventually inspired coverage on not only Womenâs ESPN but also the main ESPN site.It might have been interesting to read a few op-ed pieces with different viewpoints and opinions of the incident, but given the shortages in womenâs sports coverage, there werenât many pieces on the subject, in generalâ"let alone nuanced op-ed articles.evalIt could also be interesting to analyze a nationally-read site like espnW to see which sports teams, issues, or stories are not covered in depth, and to try to cover any gaps in coverage that may exist.Write like a BossYes, there are sites that expect writers to write for free, but you should avoid those kinds of sites unless youâre trying to merely gain some portfolio experience while still employed elsewhere.If you are a freelance writer trying to make a living via writing assignments, you simply canât afford to write for the sake of âexposure.âMany of these sites that donât pay contributors could afford to pay people, due to staggering ad revenue, but they choose not to. Why should website developers and graphic designers make money creating site content, while writers accept vague promises of fame and future prestige?evalThe âportfolio approach,â as discussed by Elizabeth Spiers, is based around one âanchor gigâ that provides roughly 80 percent of your income but comprises less than 50 percent of your time. You need to figure out how to pay your minimum bills first, and look for work that allows you to invest âthe least amount of time for the highest amount of money,â as Spiers puts it.Moreover, while they commonly used to charge by the hourâ"a nd many still doâ"it has become more common for freelance writers to charge clients per project to avoid being paid too little for oneâs time and efforts. That said, the most common ways to charge clients are per hour, per word, and per project.Youâll also want to calculate your freelance writing rate, but this task is not quite as simple as it sounds.In addition to needing to have some writing experienceâ"say at a marketing firm or doing in-house content writing for a corporate clientâ"youâll need to show that youâre talented and can manage your time well. Be sure to take non-billable work into account, as well: pitching, researching, interviewing, email communication, and invoicing all take several hoursâ worth, daily.This brings us to the pesky financial side of freelancing. In addition to making sure your business revenue exceeds expenses, you need to itemize each service you sell, as well as expenditure on primary activities. Youâll also want to make sure that yo uâll be able to make or save enough to live on, during times when cash flow is a bit slowerâ"for example, over the holidays.Moreover, freelance writers who are self-employed should carefully track all business-related expenses for tax purposes, such as mileage driven for specific writing assignments.Cover Your BasesLastly, if you want to go it on your own, as a writerâ"both subject and employment-wiseâ"itâs best to make sure your online presence is professional and impressive. This means that, in addition to having a website portfolio site to send potential clients, youâll want to update your LinkedIn profile and double check your social media profiles to make sure they convey a strong first impression.Be sure to remove any potentially embarrassing photos or content that may be considered controversial. If in doubt, change your settings to private and only allow professional-looking and flattering photos to be visible to the public.All these measures are somewhat common sen se, but be sure to keep abreast of the latest news in relation to a given blog post, content piece, or article you might be writing for a client, so as to ensure you are providing relevant, timely, and original information.evalAnalyze all the angles of a story or subject, in order to produce a comprehensive piece of writing. Also, donât neglect reader comments, when researching a subject online; responding to readersâ responses and opinions of a subject will make your commentary more relevant to everyday peopleâs interests and perspectives. Your content is also more likely to garner more clicks, likes, and shares, as a result.What are you doing to stand out from your peers, writing-wise? Share your thoughts and experience in the comments section below!

Back-to-School Reflections Life Lessons - Hire Imaging
Back-to-School Reflections Life Lessons - Hire Imaging Photo by WoodleyWonderWorks Recently, my six-year-old granddaughter and I spent an entire weekend of one-on-one time. One of our conversations centered on upcoming Labor Day, end of summer and back to school. She is transitioning from kindergarten to first grade, and is so excited. When I probed a bit about her anticipation of this new school year, she said she loved getting a new backpack and school supplies. She did not know who her teacher would be, but was sure she would like her. She named friends sheâd see once again; and new ones she hoped to meet. She couldnât wait to learn more reading and math skills. Music. Gym. Recess. They were on all her list of eagerly anticipated events. She was just a little apprehensive about a more complicated scheduleâ"including riding the bus for the first timeâ"but she said there were people to help her. âIt will all be fine, Grandma.â Our talk and her delightful, honest dialogue around basically, change and unknowns, made me think of one of my favorite works (made into a very popular poster hung in many an office, classroom and home), All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, by Robert Fulghum. Here it is: âAll I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school. These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Donât hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Donât take things that arenât yours. Say youâre sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced lifeâ"learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup; the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cupâ"they all die. So do we. And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned the biggest word of allâ"LOOK. I also thought back to my own childhood and my favorite place at schoolâ"the playground. Some more life lessons came to mind: Donât judge people on the surface. If you observe children on the playground, they typically run off to find a playmate. Itâs not about looks; itâs more often about tuning in to see if that other child wants to have funâ¦participate in the adventure. If you fall down, get up again and go on. When a child falls down and skins a knee, he/she might need a bit of TLC. Not for long. There are things to do! Sometimes adults forget this lesson. When bad things happen, whatâs to be gained by dwelling on it? Get over it and move on. Dance, sing and be happy. Young children are quick to express themselves creatively through motion, voice and other means. How sad that as we get older, we sometimes worry so much about what others will think of our actions, that we stifle that spirit. Being outwardly joyous decreases tension and stress.A smile or laugh is contagious. We could all learn to smile and laugh more. We could all benefit from sharing our joy with others. Each day is a new beginning. Children forget and forgive quickly. They rarely hold grudges. I remember so many instances where children fought, were âenemiesâ and next day best friends again. What great role modeling for adults! Have faith and believe. This is perhaps one of the most charming childhood qualities to grasp and keep throughout adulthood. Itâs something that many adults sadly lose. They see things as they are; not as they could be. To imagine and dream leads to opportunities. If we observe them, children will show us how they believe. Whereâs the rule that says one stops believing at a certain age? Itâs a gift to be strived for and nourished. What if everyone had cookies and milk in mid-afternoon and then lay down for a nap? What if governments and corporations and individuals always smiled, forgave, believed, put things back, cleaned up their messes, made friends unconditionally and helped each other by holding hands and sticking together? What a wonderful world that would be!
