10 More Reasons You Should Exercise Regularly

10 More Reasons You Should Exercise Regularly 72 You know you should do it, and your job search is a great time to do it. Here's my original list of 10 Mighty Reasons to Work Out During Your Job Search. With those first reasons in mind- Regular exercise will also… 11. Settle at least part of your job search into a routine. Too much of a routine is boring and can lead to job search-prolonging inertia, but some routine is good so you don't feel like your search is ever spinning out of control.eval 12. One nice element of routines is that progress is easier to track. Even simple tracking of your exercise will build the habit of tracking your job search progress, which will ultimately lead to faster results. 13. Drive creativity and inspiration. “Research shows you’re more likely to have a creative epiphany when you’re doing something monotonous, like fishing, exercising, or showering.” (from Why our best ideas come to us in the shower)eval 14. “Prevent cognitive decline… Working out, especially between age 25 and 45, boosts the chemicals in the brain that support and prevent degeneration of the hippocampus, an important part of the brain for memory and learning.” (from 13 Unexpected Benefits of Exercise) 15. Boost your immune system, decreasing your chances of getting sick, which throws your job hunting schedule out of whack and causes you to reschedule job interviews, which rarely leaves a good impression. 16. Control your weight. By exercising appropriately and eating right, you can lose weight, tone up or gain muscle, whichever will make you feel best, which will shine through on your job search. 17. Make you feel more relaxed. Not only will you sleep better, you'll fall asleep more easily as your body decompresses more gradually post-workout. You'll be less tense on the job search and better refreshed when you pick things up the next day. 18. Improve your sex life. This will put you in a better mood and frankly, make you more likable. (from Exercise: 7 benefits of regular physical activity) 19. Add some fun to your job search. Yes, I know, “job hunting is a job” and is therefore not supposed to be enjoyable. All the more reason to find a way to have some fun during the rest of the day. Choice of exercise and/or workout partners makes all the difference. 20. Grow your personal brand. This can be through networking while you work out at the gym, or jogging on a well-trod public path, or even through fitness social networks or fitness-related groups and pages (especially local ones) across social media. People respect perseverance, effort and progress so why not share with others and let them reciprocate, possibly with a job lead? Itching to get started?

How This New Grad Got His Dream Job CareerMetis.com

How This New Grad Got His Dream Job I want to thank our Guest Contributor Now, let’s hear his story in his own words.A New Grad’s Job Hunting Success StoryThe question on a lot of people’s minds is how do I get the job I want? This can seem like a hopeless search sometimes.Finding a job is tough in this economy. The world is getting more and more competitive. Technology was supposed to make the process easier, but it has only made it more complicated. Your resume is far more likely to get lost in a company database or sorted by a computer algorithm than get seen by an actual person.Unfortunately the strategy most people use is to simply apply through online job postings.Career consulting expert Don Asher calls online job openings “Fools Gold”. By the time you see them, hundreds For us regular folks, especially with less marketable degrees, like psychology, English, history, or gender studies it can be much more challenging.Therefore, you need to find more creative ways of finding a job. Here’s how I got hir ed at a really innovative marketing company.I was fresh out of University with a degree in psychology and wanted to pursue a career in marketing.Although I had no “formal” work experience, I had worked on my own websites at the time and taught myself a lot of online marketing skills such as creating landing pages, doing email marketing, social media, paid traffic, and using analytics to make better marketing decisions. However, I wasn’t sure how to convey that to employers. I knew that if I just got a few moments to speak with them, they would be impressed with what I had to say and hire me.evalDespite my passion for psychology, I was well aware that it isn’t the most marketable degree. If an employer knew nothing about me, they would rather hire the business or accounting major over me 90% of the time.I would have to not only get past computer algorithms but also an implicit bias among employers that favors business/ STEM degrees. Therefore, I had to go straight to the deci sions makers and get them into a meeting where I could make my pitch.In any organization there are always key decision makers. Any salesman worth his salt knows that the best way to make a sale is to go straight to them. Instead of applying and getting ignored, I realized I would have to go straight to the head of the marketing department or the founder of the business.I went through my entire list of contacts and asked them if they knew people in the digital marketing world. I wasn’t asking for a job just a potential lead that could help connect me to a key decision maker.I got the email address of man who had started his own marketing analytics company. He was a successful entrepreneur with a lot of experience.I got a script from Don Asher’s book “How to get any Job” and slightly modified it for my own needs. Here is the email I sent him:Dear {name of founder},Our mutual contact {name of mutual contact} was kind enough to share your name and email with me. I’m very inter ested in opportunities in digital marketing, and as I understand it you’ve done quite well in this field. I wonder if you’d have a moment to speak with me and share any advice, or ideas with a young person trying to break into the digital marketing field. I won’t take too much of your time as I understand you are very busy.Thanks for your consideration.Sincerely,eval{Your Name}(Ironically, employers are more likely to offer you a job if you just ask for advice than if you flat-out ask for a job.).He replied the next day agreeing to meet up with me at a coffee shop.You may not get a reply from your first lead. Don’t get discouraged. You must find more leads and keep trying until you find someone to speak to.As soon as he agreed to meet up with me, I spend the rest of my time doing as much research as I could on him. I researched his background, all of his companies, etc. I tried to get a strong understanding of who this person was and how I could contribute to the business. I thought of creative ways that I could offer value, and increase his bottom line.I didn’t just stop there. I didn’t want to just TELL him what I’ve done, I wanted to SHOW him. As everyone knows, a picture is worth a thousand words. I went over all of my work and made screen-shots of my social media profiles, my various landing pages, Google analytics sales funnels, etc. I prepared all of that content into a marketing portfolio that demonstrated my experience. I went to Staples and printed it out in color to add a greater visual impact to my presentation.Here’s an important point, I didn’t make up my experience. I might have been a little sneaky getting the meeting, but I would never recommend lying about what you have accomplished. Not only is that highly unethical, but it will come back to bite you later on.Throughout the week I practiced my pitch in front of the mirror. I worked on my vocal tonality to sound as confident as possible.The day before, I made sure to scout t he location. I determined how long it would take to get there and the best place to sit (away from busy foot traffic, away from direct sunlight, etc.). I sat down in my intended seat and visualized how I imaged the meeting to go.The day of the meeting, I made sure to get their at least one hour ahead. Coffee shops are usually busy in the morning, so I wanted to come early and grab the ideal seat.Once he arrived I immediately offered to pay for his coffee as a courtesy since I had asked for the meeting. We started of with small talk to get to know each other. I made sure prepare a solid introduction about my background and included unique parts of my personality to help me stand out.For tips on social skills and charisma check out the “Charisma Myth” by Olivia Fox Cabane.When he asked me for my experience, I pulled out my portfolio and began to walk him through what I have done so far. He was immediately impressed by my work and asked a lot of questions. After I had finished my p resentation, I could tell he was interested.That’s when I gave my pitch. I told him I didn’t ask for this meeting just to get career advice. I wanted the opportunity to work for his company. I was very candid about my intentions and how I got the meeting with him in the first place. He was very impressed and told me that very few people would have the guts to pull of what I just did.He asked me to leave a resume (which I just happened to have printed and in an envelope) and told me he would get back to me.He called me back in a few days and hired me.The moral of the store is this. BE BOLD! To stand out in the job market, you need to think outside the box and leverage social connection to find work.I hope you found my story helpful, best of luck finding a job!

Why You Should Always Be Hunting For A New Job

Why You Should Always Be Hunting For A New Job Common wisdom suggests that when you have found a new job you quit hunting for a new one. This is a mistake that the vast majority of professionals make and its one that is typically detrimental to their careers. Constantly looking for new opportunities not only keeps you current with what positions are available, it also keeps you fresh in your current position. Continuing to search for a new position isnt necessarily an active pursuit. When you are reasonably happy in your current position and not really looking to change either your career or your employer, job search takes on a more passive role. Much of what you do during an active job search is ignored, such as cold calling, applications and interviewing. In a passive job search you keep your resume updated and you occasionally examine what is open in your field. Networking is still a part of a passive job search, but instead of looking for a new job you are looking for contacts. Meetings, seminars and various network gatherings can be a fun way to meet new people as well as stay current in what your field is offering to new job candidates. Its also a way to stay current on new trends in your area of expertise as well as current salary ranges; this can be helpful during your next salary negotiation or promotion meeting. Staying in the hunt for a new job also means that you are ready to hit the ground running should you suddenly need to make your passive search an active one. In an uncertain world its good to have this in your career arsenal.
