The Easy Way to Use Twitter in a Job Search

"Since the number of recruiters and hiring managers using Twitter to find candidates has been growing rapidly over this past year, you'll want to widen your online footprint to include Twitter and take advantage of this wide audience."

Good Morning Folks,

You can’t deny it. Job seekers and recruiters have a love affair with Twitter.

With Twitter becoming perhaps the fastest-growing social network on the planet, job seekers and employers have been turning to this resource. To get seen by these eyes, you need an effective method to write a Twitter resume.

But a resume in only 140 characters? Well, not quite, but Joe Turner put together this step-by-step guide to understanding Twitter’s language so that you can get your name out there.

The challenge lies in making your Twitter resume:

• Succinct
• Easy to find

And, fortunately, it’s easy to do. Two easy tools have surfaced to make these two challenges, less challenging. To make your resume succinct, there are link-shortening applications (like is.GD or GOO.GL) so your links don’t take up your entire character count. And to make your resume easy to find, Twitter has a great feature called “hashtags” that make the word tandem to it searchable.

Recruiters constantly use hashtags to locate potential candidates by searching words like "resume," certain skill sets, locations and so forth. As a result, you want to incorporate a few of these keywords as hashtags on your Twitter resume so you'll be found when recruiters perform their searches. Some good examples of hashtags to include on your Twitter resume include #needajob, #laidoff and #jobangels, among others. A good resource for looking up hashtags is to check out hashtags.org.

Now that you’ve got the basics, here are four major elements you should incorporate into your Twitter resume:

1. Desired job title

2. Desired location

3. Keywords with hashtags

4. Link to resume, personal homepage or your social-networking profile page, such as LinkedIn.

Once we put it all together, here is a good example of what a Twitter resume looks like and how a recruiter would decode it:

Example

RT #Donna Molinari seeks a LEAD/SR QA ENG JOB http://bit.ly/1ThaW @teTalentNetwork -
http://bit.ly/QB5DC @TweetMyResume #resume #QA-Jobs-CA

Decoding

• The RT stands for retweet, which encourages your Twitter followers to retweet, or repeat, this to their followers
• Hashtag with your name makes you to easy to find
• Desired job title
• The first link is the Talent Network profile page leading to her online resume.
• The second link is the job seeker profile that was previously established on TweetMyJobs.com
• The hashtags are the search terms used, in this case, the name, quality assurance jobs in California and the encompassing term "resume."

Now what?

Once you have your online profile and your Twitter resume set up, you'll want to use them to market yourself to the Twitter community. According to John Walker, there are a number of approaches you can use. Co-founder of Talent Evolution, John is a recruiter and career coach who first recommends that you send this tweet to all your followers so they can retweet. Walker recommends following people who can help you in your job search. This list could include recruiters, job sites and potential hiring managers with companies for which you'd like to work.

Walker also suggests making a secondary posting to your Facebook and Twitter profiles.

Remember, the lifespan of a tweet is short, so retweet your resume periodically, but no more than once a week or every few days at the most.

Can you get results from Twitter? Even though it's a bit early in the Twitter job search game, Walker is aware of at least one recruiter who has made six recent placements as a result of finding good candidates solely on Twitter.

Summary

While Twitter shouldn't constitute your entire job-search strategy, you'll most definitely want to incorporate this approach into your current set of tools. Since the number of recruiters and hiring managers using Twitter to find candidates has been growing rapidly over this past year, you'll want to widen your online footprint to include Twitter and take advantage of this wide audience.

"It's in the great FSO spirit that makes me feel accomplished each and every day when I can make someones life that much easier while at work. Our clients at Y&R are always on my mind, and servicing them is something I live, breathe, and FEEL, and I want them to FEEL it too! " ~~FSO's Ben @Y&R

Good Morning Folks,

Our clients love what we are doing for them. When they take time to write like this after months of being let down by their former suppliers, it is testament to what I've been saying all along: At FSO, our difference is people. They bring a passion for hospitality and service that just can't be faked or duplicated.

Everyone on the team knows their position and role and they work in harmony to execute greatness. That is what FSO is all about – a perfect harmony of perfection and greatness.   

We have won and continue to win because we make everything PERSONAL – this is what attracts great talent to FSO, and why prospects have chosen FSO and why our clients retain us – not because we have are trying to push equipment and not because we are this massive bureaucratic organization that moves as slow as a snail.  

People want to be part of FSO as clients and employees because we are passionate and we CARE about what it means to be there for them.

==> Hear it direct from our client's mouths:

Belinda, Crystal Point

"I wanted to let you know that I was impressed by Belind's ability to hold down the front desk on Sunday.  I watched as she managed 3 things at once and still maintained 

awareness of lobby activities."

Jay D, Caplin &  Drysdale
"Thank you very much and staying until 3:30 am to make sure the copy job was done and ready for the big EO meeting this morning." 

A HUGE THANK YOU to the guys at Roberts & Holland: Eddie C and Andre 

"Andre and particularly Eddie have performed above and beyond the call of duty assisting in a priority project with a time sensitive deadline.  

You guys have gone above & beyond and the client has recognized your efforts. THANKs for taking pride in your work and representing the FSO brand."

Steve Guyewski, Eni
"Steven, thank you for the fantastic identification of the Fire Warden photo! I was expecting you to just scribble names right on the paper, and instead you provided a typed, complete listing. Thank you!! You made my job so much easier. We are going to put these slides on Eni TV, but they won’t be broadcast until Oct 15. Although we have all the names and photos, we need to get the same from Alaska and the offshore folks. They aren’t quite as efficient as we are"



Itau Team
"Just to let you know that I always get the best of service from them all."

Saleem, Capco

"Thanks Saleem for your hard work and going the extra steps to make sure all transactions on my card are accounted for and properly coded for easier processing for Eleny. You really did a good job for the first time of doing this."

Chad Dookie, Capco

Hi Chad, Marlene Desravines has thanked you through CapInTouch

Thank you so much for your assistance in resolving my computer system issues.

Rajesh Basra, Commerzbank
"I attached emails from a close call last night; however your guys were all over it! Rockstar!”

Adrieanne, Liquidnet
"I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how wonderful Adrieanne is. She is always thinking about her floor and what can she do to make our day extra special. She is always happy and smiling and talkative and I think we all feel like she is part of our floor, not like someone who keeps stuff together but part of the team.  Anyway… I know people are always saying negative things about a variety of stuff. So I wanted to make sure you heard something good and that you knew that she is fantastic!"

FSO Office Service, HQ Team

"I would like to thank office services as well for doing a great job with preparation leading up into the meeting and staying late to ensure the office was back up to standard by the morning. We could not have had a successful meeting setup without your help!"

Demetrius and Ben, Y&R

"Pleasure to meet you today. I love Ben being in our office. His position is one of those perks that I always wished my other agencies offered. He’s Courteous. Timely. Relevant. He’s great. Don’t let him go anywhere else. Glad he’s on the team."

Today we've heard from clients about the qualities and skillets that will define our future leaders. Each promotion from within starts with client recognition such as we've witnessed here today.

Have a GREAT day as I look forward to seeing all of you soon.

Ted Tuesday: Pamela Meyer— How To Spot A liar

"On any given day we're lied to from 10 to 200 times, and the clues to detect those lie can be subtle and counter-intuitive. Pamela Meyer, author of Liespotting, shows the manners and "hotspots" used by those trained to recognize deception — and she argues honesty is a value worth preserving."

Good Morning Folks,

People--friends, family members, work colleagues, salespeople--lie to us all the time.  Daily, hourly, constantly. None of us is immune, and all of us are victims. According to studies by several different researchers, most of us encounter nearly 200 lies a day.

Now there’s something we can do about it. Liespotting links three disciplines--facial recognition training, interrogation training, and a comprehensive survey of research in the field--into a specialized body of information developed specifically to help business leaders detect deception and get the information they need to successfully conduct their most important interactions and transactions.

Some of the nation's leading business executives have learned to use these methods to root out lies in high stakes situations. Liespotting for the first time brings years of knowledge--previously found only in the intelligence community, police training academies, and universities--into the corporate boardroom, the manager's meeting, the job interview, the legal proceeding, and the deal negotiation.

With 10 million views on ted and probably as many on You Tube ,Pamela Meyer's "How to spot a liar" Ted Talk and Liespotting book, are sure to be eye-opening and relevant every day in many ways.

We hear anywhere from 10 to 200 lies a day. And although we’ve spent much of our history coming up with ways to detect these lies by tracking physiological changes in their tellers, these methods have proved unreliable. Is there a more direct approach? In the second video above, Noah Zandan uses some famous examples of lying to illustrate how we might use communications science to analyze the lies themselves.

Thanks to you for “caring” (and sharing!).

Have a GREAT Day,

Inspire ME Friday: On Halloween and Always— Don't Be Scared of Change

Photo: Norkin via Facebook

"Incumbent leaders in one era rarely are the leaders in the next era. Innovation occurs at the edge of an industry. Consequently, incumbents usually aren’t the first to focus on disruptive changes. They tend to focus on their existing competitors and incumbents are at risk of becoming victims of their own success." ~~John Sculley

Good Morning Folks,

The scariest day of the year isn't today— Halloween.

It's whatever day you're afraid to embrace change... to try new things.

Business is moving at Internet speed. According to former Apple CEO John Scully in his new book "Moonshot!: Game-Changing Strategies to Build Billion-Dollar Businesses" —  "A new breed of entrepreneurs has emerged who are putting customers first. We’re seeing it in all industries from transportation (Uber) to accommodations (Airbnb) to web content (Pinterest). Entrepreneurs at these companies are raising the bar in customer-experience businesses with the incredibly ambitious goal of being 10x better than any service previously available. This new breed of entrepreneurs, the “adaptive innovators”, are building the next generation of billion-dollar businesses."

Scully argues, "Here’s why “adapt” is such a power word. Incumbent leaders in one era rarely are the leaders in the next era. Innovation occurs at the edge of an industry. Consequently, incumbents usually aren’t the first to focus on disruptive changes. They tend to focus on their existing competitors and incumbents are at risk of becoming victims of their own success. They become complacent because on the metrics they measure success they appear to be doing well. That is, until everything quickly changes."

Everything is changing and those who refuse to change will be left behind.

That's why my selection for this week's inspiring internal communique to share was penned by Capco Experience Manager, Jenna Solis. We get more kudos from Capco per employee than any other client so hats off to Jenna and over to you:

Isn't it great to wake up to a day that you've never seen or experienced before? Really think about.... Each day we are blessed to breathe air into our lungs; have full activity of our brain and limbs.  

Yet I dare to ask....are we truly working at our full potential. 

Be encouraged FSO family. It's time to do a "New Thing".  

How many of us can remember a time where you've felt over worked and under appreciated? I'd like to share my story to show you just how GREAT of an opportunity Mitch has put before us. I was employed by a company that monitored your workload but never appreciated your work; they cut me a check every two weeks but never really knew my worth.   

The problem was I had an Above & Beyond attitude, and a desire to excel that wasn't being nurtured. So what was one to do?  Bask in the mundane? Or search for a "New Thing"? Thankfully, a great friend thought it not robbery to share her current career path. She informed me that she supported an outstanding group of individuals who were dedicated and pumped about a vision that had been laid out by their phenomenal President & CEO Mitch Weiner.  

Well naturally, I needed to know where and when I could sign up. :) Upon coming into FSO it immediately clicked that this was truly going to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. 

I remember being apart of my first FSO event. It was an Award Recognition Night. Man oh man! I could feel the positive energy in my bones. I wanted to run around the room after being inspired by many of you. 

I remember asking myself "Jenna, where do you fit within this company?  

How many of you have asked or ask yourselves that very question?  

FSO I'm just as FIRED UP as day one because I'm holding myself accountable for my success and those around me. The CAPCO team and I (Woop Woop) are dedicated to being instrumental in the success of the FSO brand. Let me tell you they're no big I's and little U's in a team. So it's important that everyone's voice is heard. Thankfully, Mitch and our leadership team have continued to develop and implement platforms for us to share our thoughts and feedback.  

Are we utilizing these tools? 

So here's a proposed challenge to you All! ELT's, Directors, Managers & Associates . Lead the Change. Identify where you fit in within the FSO vision. We all have something dynamic to bring to the FSO experience. For some, it may be ideas on taking Hospitality & White glove service to the next level; for others it may be a new approach on an already defined idea. Whatever it is, make it your "New Thing"!!!! 

If we want Mitch's vision to shine brighter than what we could have ever imagined, we've got to dig deeper! Do we see 2020 clearly or are we squinting Let's get to work !!!!!! Managers, if you're not at your sites having team huddles, promoting FLP and nurturing your teams success...it's time to do a "New Thing". FSO Nation if we aren't making what we do each day apart of our daily conversations it's time to do a "New Thing". If we are allowing the competition to even make an appointment with a potential client, it's time to do  a... NEW THING!!!!!

Our competitors customers live halloween horror stories every day because, unlike FSO, they are always scared to try new things. And that's why every one of the hundreds of big brand customers we've acquired in the past four years USED to be theirs.

I know we have a tremendous amount of talent at FSO and when we get together to figure out a problem we come up with some amazing innovative ideas that drives us forward in success.  

I ask my teams:  The next time you’re working with your teams and you ask “what did you do today to ensure the client Feels the Experience?”  

If you get blank faces staring back at you, we will need to show them what small things they can do each time to enhance the service experience. How do you enhance repro jobs, mail, conference bookings/ setups, facility request or assisting with Hoteling every time? Talk to the client and ask questions. Often they will let you know what can be done to help them.  

Focus on the items not being requested. Are you shipping this job out today? If you have enough information you can provide a box, labels, pouch and tape when you deliver the job. Have project delivered to their hotel? Or suggests you ship it to the destination. Call and follow up on the project or job. It takes less than 30 seconds to call or swing by and just ask is everything done to their satisfaction and is there anything else we can do for you? Leave a VM.  Most often they will say no, they don’t need anything else, but the small jester of asking gets you a lot of client love.

Then reflect on the FSO career path:

Cheryl | A former mail clerk at groupm - now the Portfolio Manager to Durst
Glenda | A former internal messenger for VNO - now the Division Administrator
David | A former Lead at Sage - now the Portfolio Manager for Brookfield +
Mario | A former Supervisor at Conde - now the Portfolio Manager for VNO +

What an amazing place FSO is. An organization build on helping others.

We help them - let me help you.

You have all reached a certain level of success and growth... why stop there?

You each have strength and skills that have merited your current roles within the division, within FSO. Let's reach HIGHER!

Let's self motivate. Let's increase ourselves. Let's GROW!

Because when we grow, our clients grow too.

I hope everyone has a  Fantastic weekend!

Open Your Arms to Change, But Don’t Let Go of Your Values.

"Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected. One such type arises from the conflict of ideologies, political or religious, when people fight each other for petty ends, losing sight of the basic humanity that binds us all together as a single human family. Often we cannot overcome our problems because we either do not know the cause or, if we understand it, do not have the means to remove it. This is not the case, for example, with the nuclear threat."~ Dalai Lama

Good Morning Folks,

Here is an extra dose of inspiration and fruit for thought as the harvest season, falling colored leaves and crisp fall air remind us that change is the only certainty in life.

At the turn of this century, the Dalai Lama issued the following eighteen rules for living.

Rule 1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Rule 2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson

Rule 3. Follow the three Rs: 1. Respect for self 2. Respect for others 3. Responsibility for all your actions.

Rule 4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Rule 5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

Rule 6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

Rule 7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Rule 8. Spend some time alone every day.

Rule 9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.

Rule 10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Rule 11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.

Rule 12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

Rule 13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.

Rule 14. Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.

Rule 15. Be gentle with the earth.

Rule 16. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.

Rule 17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Rule 18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.



Thanks to Body Mind Soul Spirit for this selection and to you for listening. Please don't confuse this with a similar looking chain email which is a hoax that is pretty evident by the points being made about cooking and all kinds of things the Dalai Lama would never discuss.

And if you'd like to turn those outsourcing frowns to smiles, talk to us, witness us. We'll   take you on a tour of client sites and and let you taste the FSO experience first-hand where you'll see how different life has become for some of the best known-brands in the world.

Call me personally at 212-204-1193.

Feel the FSO Experience - and ensure everyone around you does too. 

Here's to a wonderful week!

Love Life!

Today The Kudos Are For Me: "Today is going to be an AWESOME day, today."

"No matter what happens today, I will make a difference, in whatever I do."

Good Morning Folks,

Every Wednesday I like to share letters we get from clients discussing the above and beyond service our employees are providing them.

Past editions of those can be found here (scroll back) and will continue next week.

Instead, here is an email shout out that one our employees sent to me:

Good morning and happy Wednesday Mitch

I love it. LOVE, CARE, INSPIRATION and SPIRITUAL SUPPORT. That's so true and it speaks to why I get up every morning, with hope and expectation. Today is going to be an AWESOME day, today.

No matter what happens today, I will make a difference, in whatever I do.

So then I am thinking and it came to me in a flash NCIS, a favorite TV program of mine and now I won't forget, FSO- LCIS. LOVE, CARE, INSPIRATION and SPIRITUAL SUPPORT .

Thank you so much Mitch, for your LOVE, CARE, INSPIRATION and SPIRITUAL SUPPORT. I truly appreciate you and what you are doing for us. Keep up the great work, I am working with you, on this journey and adventure, beyond 2020.’

~~ Christian

If this sounds incredible and impressive to the forgotten hourly employees stuck in dead-end jobs elsewhere, and the kind of career path and commitment you would like to be assured in return for your investment working hard every day, please send your resume to Kshepherd (at) fso-outsourcing.com.

We believe people make or break the success of an organization. FSO hires for character, desire and attitude and then takes better care of that individual than one could ever imagine. We take care of our people and in turn, they take care of you.

I will always be that guy in the space who cares enough to take care of the hourly employee from the middle manager down. Big companies are too big to care – to teach these employees, to embrace them, to help them create lasting careers.

And that's not only what makes FSO different, it makes us BETTER.

Thanks fort taking the time to write to me about our gifted employees. I am always eager to hear more about how we are doing an d look forward to sharing the mail next Wednesday.

Have a GREAT day as I look forward to seeing all of you soon.

Ted Tuesday: Alessandro Acquisti: What will a future without secrets look like?

"Alessandro has managed to scare the shit out of me less than 5 minutes into the TED Talk. He manages line between public and private has blurred in the past decade, both online and in real life, and Alessandro Acquisti is here to explain what this means and why it matters."

Good Morning Folks,

From the hacked celebrity nudes to your teens suddenly reappearing and very public, private Snap Chats, to all of the NSA issues coming to light especially that a 20-something security contractor can read anything you write and even impersonate you to a tee, let’s be real, privacy is this decades biggest issue.

From feeling uneasy that companies were selling your info to spam mailers, to feeling uneasy that these companies tracked data on you to better serve you ads to Knowing that the US Government had a comprehensive spy network setup to spy on its own people. It’s safe to say we’ve been hit with wave after wave of e-privacy concerns.

Any  personal information can become sensitive information. One in three subjects can be found based on a random photo from a webcam. Think about that for a second. One third of us, can be positively identified and prosecuted or persecuted based on ONE single photo. This positive identification takes minutes, which is even scarier.

Alessandro has managed to scare the shit out of me less than 5 minutes into the TED Talk. However, Alessandro makes these things seem very simple and easy to do. Which makes the threat even more real. We assume the government has this info to make us safer. But if it’s easy to do, then bad people can do it too.

The scary part about this Alessandro brings up is that we really don’t have clear sufficient policies that can control the vast amount of information that any and all the digital media we use. We are living in a Garden of Eden in the sense that we are placated with a huge amount of free content for the chance for marketers to live in a garden of profit. As a marketer I like this, but I do agree with a sort of agreement of ‘where the line is.’

This has to have been one of my more fascinating talks to experience.

“What will a future without secrets look like?”
