Intern Legacy- (Beyond Photocopying Your Butt)

There are a lot of great things you can participate in and experience as a summer intern. You can sit in important strategy meetings, you can help organize and plan for sales calls and if you are really lucky you can become the official Twitterer for the company. But while these experiences are great for uncovering your interest and padding the resume they often lack one thing- Legacy.

That's right, very rarely what you do as an intern is adopted into the mainstream business model of the company or maintained after you have returned to campus. This intern legacy is difficult to achieve for two core reasons:

1: Lack of engagement from the intern. (no secret here, it's an internship a brief fling in the workforce. Many will simply try to fly under the radar and get through the experience simply collecting college credit and not truly involving themselves in the business)

2: Lack of trust from the employer. (many employers are not willing to really leverage their interns. Scared of giving them a "too important" project and simply treating them as a gopher)

Now for a shining example of an intern who engaged and a company that trusted him.

Facebook's latest feature that allows users to update their Twitter accounts from their Facebook page was developed by none other than Michael Gummelt a Junior intern from Stanford.

Quote from Gummelt:
"I was able to build this new feature from start to finish as a summer engineering intern. Next month I'll head back to school, but I'm excited to see my work here live on through all of the people who now will both share on Facebook and tweet on Twitter right from their Facebook Pages".

This is a awesome example of intern legacy!
Side note- Facebook may have plenty more opportunities for intern legacies:

Based on a recent report from Bloomberg it appears that Facebook is poised to grow, looking to boost their staff by 50% this year.

But resumes that stand out do something very different. For each position, they answer the question: What did you accomplish in this job that someone else wouldn't have?http://www.thecorporateplaybook.com/huddle/index.php?tid=543 Social Media Banned from College Stadiums Today, the Southeastern Conference (SEC) is expected to release a final version of its new media policy.

Today's Worst Resume Email Address

If your email address is anything other than your name- don't put it on your resume. There, it's that simple. I don't care if you are trying to be cute or funny (which is great and encouraged in most every other aspect) it just doesn't work on your resume. Take five minutes go to gmail and register your name or some variation of your name. Whatever you do just don't put muscledude27@gmail.com on your resume (sorry muscledude27)

Here's what's prompted me to write this. I've been receiving resumes lately and the first thing I see, front and center on the contact info is some ridiculous email address. The person's resume could be great but frankly I get distracted by the goofy email address and have a difficult time moving past it.

So to raise awareness of this epidemic I first ordered little yellow rubber bracelets that say AHotVolleyBallChick4Sure@Hotmail.com and now I'm going to highlight today's top email address (these are actual email prefixes, I've removed the email provider domain for their privacy)

Today's winner:

Abeautfulchikinside@ (Really???)

Honorable mention goes to:

TheAdmiralZephyr@ (this one really intrigues me, I feel like this person should be a skilled boater and would not be shocked if they showed up at the interview with Sperry Topsiders on)

August 3rd Today's Winner:

CatchDeuceDeuce@ (I imagine this person as the biggest Emmitt Smith fan on the planet, and would probably wear zubaz pants and a Dallas Cowboys Starter jacket to the interview)

August 14th Today's Winner:

LuvzBallin@ ( I luvz this email)

How to Talk Your Way Through a Phone Interview

Once reserved for sales interviews or simply as a precursor to a face to face, the phone interview has seen a sharp rise in popularity. Driven by the economic climate that has already forced companies to layoff thousands companies are seeking more ways to cut costs. These companies have found savings (reducing hiring manger travel, or candidate travel expenses) by conducting more phone interviews.

This poses serious challenges, in fact one UCLA study put that up to 93% of communication effectiveness is determined by nonverbal cues. So regardless of the reason you must be as prepared for the phone interview as you would be for a face-to-face (if not more prepared) Here are a few hints and tips to get you from phone to face:

Preparation- Studying and treat the phone interview like a face to face, even use a digital voice recorder to playback your answers to interview questions and listen for filler words and voice inflection, practice answering questions with mini-stories concise specific accounts, even jot down notes of what you want to say- but remember don’t come across robotic). The better prepared you are the more confident you’ll be in your answers.

Dress the part- Just because you can do a phone interview in your favorite sweats doesn’t mean you should. I’ll reiterate- treat this like a face to face. That means get up early shower and dress the part (remember how it felt to put on the game uniform, when you put that on it was all business same rules apply here- it’s game time). Taking the extra step to put on suit can give you the mental edge you need to come across sharp and prepared.
Environment-. Use a landline if possible (if not pick a location with a great signal. Can you hear me? Can you hear me now is not a great way to start an interview). Get in a quite place & remove distractions. Close the door, turn the TV off, turn off iTunes, pull down the blinds, crate the dog, give the cat catnip, give the baby NyQuil then put a mirror in front of you & smile at it.

Essentials- Have your resume out in front of you. This will help you not sound like you paid someone to write your resume. Seriously you need to quickly access any employment dates or awards. Have a pen back up pen and notepad. You’ll want to write down the questions asked and take notes on the interviewer. This will help your research if you make it to the next step. Have your questions and notes on your stories/answers already wrote down on a separate sheet of paper. Finally have a glass of water ready to go.

Emotion- Smile through the phone, don’t think because they can’t see you they can’t hear your non-verbal cues (I know that is a bit of an oxymoron) but go ahead pace around the room, use hand motions be animated let your voice paint the picture for them.

Brevity- Don’t drone on simply because you can’t see them and you feel you need to be adding more to the interview- remember the short mini-stories and concise answers.

Close the deal- Don’t forget to ask for the next step- Here’s how “Do you have any hesitations with moving me forward in the interview process?” If they answer no you follow up with “Great what is the next step and what to we need to do to get there? (Pause to listen, if it’s a face-to-face go ahead and ask to get it on the schedule). If they answer yes, all is not lost; this gives you the chance to confront their objections head on. Simply ask them “What are your hesitations”? (Pause, listen and answer).


Phone Interview Do’s and Don’ts:

The Do’s
• Treat this like a face to face, prepare and dress the part.

• Remove any ring-back tones you have, also just in case you miss the call use a professional sounding voicemail.

• Address any strong accents, speech impediments or anything else that could make it difficult for the interviewer to understand you. Best to get it on the table in the beginning than to pretend it doesn’t exists (trust me the recruiter will appreciate it if you bring it up).

• Create a calm, quiet environment. Remove all distractions.

• Have a glass of water ready to go in case you find yourself getting tongue-tied.

• Have a pen; back up pen and notepad ready

• Keep a mirror on your desk and remember, SMILE through the phone.

• Keep your answers brief- have your concise stories rehearsed and do not over talk your answers!

• Ask to schedule another time if a recruiter calls you unexpectedly

• Ask for the next step- Close the deal!

• Thank the interviewer for their time and be sure to send a follow up email or letter.

The Don’ts
• Remember not to interrupt the interviewer.

• Don’t rush through your answers (brevity is fine but talking like the micro machine man is not), breath deep remain calm and take your time.

• Don’t chew gum, smoke, dip or put anything else into your mouth during the interview. This can lead to distractions and make it difficult for the interviewer to understand you.

• Don’t simply take any interview time the recruiter offers, make sure the time is conducive to your schedule and you have the ability to be in a quiet organized location.

• Don’t make it difficult for your interviewer to understand you, speak clearly and slowly.
Follow these tips and you may be on your way to the face-to-face interview!

CareerBuilder’s Annual Summer Job Forecast: Popsicle-Making, Heated Competition, and Long-Term Gigs Posted: 11 May 2009 02:29 PM PDT Summer jobs can’t all be all Summer Rental-esque boat-racing, resort dancing/noboby-puts-Baby-in-the-cornering, and running off to space camp (don’t we wish), but job seekers have had their share of jobs at which they’ve had the time of their life unusual jobs. And as tradition would have it, summer jobs, a crucial source of income for many, is thriving. This year, however, summer-job seekers are facing a more challenging market, according to CareerBuilder’s Annual Summer Job Forecast. Nearly a quarter (23 percent) of employers plan to hire seasonal workers for the summer, similar to last year’s Summer Job Forecast findings, but as unemployment is high and more people are clamoring for the same number of summer jobs, the competition for summer jobs will be stiffer than in years past. “Summer job seekers face a bigger challenge this year than in years past, as the market is flooded with candidates looking for both full and part-time positions,” said Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources for CareerBuilder. “The good news is that many traditional summer jobs are still available, but in this environment, it is essential that job seekers differentiate themselves and demonstrate how their skills can have a positive impact on a business in a short amount of time.” Summer, extended You think it’s likely that you’ll fall in love with your lifeguarding job (or, alternately, one of your fellow lifeguards)? Good news: The survey, conducted from February 20 to March 11, 2009 among more than 2,500 employers, found that many who do land summer jobs may have a chance to turn their seasonal roles into year-round stints. More than half (56 percent) of companies reported that they would consider summer recruits for permanent placement within their organizations. Steady (pay)rollin’ When it comes to summer paychecks, nearly eight in ten (77 percent) of hiring managers will offer the same pay to seasonal workers this year as they did last year, while 9 percent will offer more and 9 percent will offer less. How much more — and how much less — will summer workers get paid? Forty-two percent of companies plan to pay  $10 or more per hour Thirty percent anticipate paying between $8 and $10 per hour Ten percent expect to pay less than $7 per hour Six percent plan to pay $20 or more per hour Where are the jobs? Comparing the industries surveyed, hospitality and retail have plans to bring the most summer workers on board, at 38 percent and 34 percent respectively. Across all industries, the most popular summer positions being offered include: Office support — 26 percent Customer service — 18 percent Research — 12 percent Landscape/maintenance — 11 percent Restaurant/food service — 11 percent Sales — 10 percent Construction/painting — 8 percent Workers’ most unusual summer gigs: When asked about the most unusual or memorable summer jobs they’ve ever held, workers shared the following responses: Bungee-jumping tower assistant Commercial bee herder Scouted garage sales for items to resell on eBay Murder Mystery dinner actor Cleaned gum off of school desks Gun fighter at a theme park Popsicle maker Picked up road kill Painted silo tops hanging from a crane Waterslide repairman Let’s just hope the “road kill picker-upper” and “Murder Mystery dinner” aren’t connected in any way. Yikes.

Are You Doing Business in One of The Best Cities for College Grads? Posted: 08 May 2009 10:48 AM PDT Yep, it’s that time of year again: College Graduation. Parties, celebrations, awards, a sense of accomplishment — and, oh, figuring out a place to live! Many college graduates-to-be are considering relocation to new cities to find a fresh start, a fresh career, and a fresh place to mount their shiny new college diploma. Only this time, the game is a bit different, as more competition for jobs is coupled with an economy in the midst of a recession — and the stress of stretching those entry-level-job dollars is often immense. The cost of living is high, and upcoming grads need as many resources as they can get to help them decide where their dollars will be best spent in their initial months out of the dorms. With this in mind, Apartments.com and CBcampus have provided results for the second annual Top Ten Best Cities for Recent College Graduates. “Given the current economy, new grads looking to relocate are becoming increasingly concerned with the cost of living as they are faced with more competition for jobs than seen in previous years,” said Tammy Kotula, public relations and promotions manager at Apartments.com. The results were based on three criteria: Number of entry-level job openings Cost of rent Population of young adults As it’s important for job seekers to understand their best living options, it is also important for employers to know where their city stacks up in the job atmosphere — and be aware of their competition in attracting top job seekers not only to their city, but to their company as well. So… did your city make the list?

Latest BLS Report A Mix of Good, Not-So-Good News Posted: 08 May 2009 08:27 AM PDT The following is a re-post from our colleagues over at The Work Buzz, CareerBuilder’s job seeker blog: While the BLS reported this morning that nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline in April (-539,000) and the unemployment rate rose from 8.5 to 8.9 percent, a closer look shows some positive indicators. Yes, 5.7 million jobs have been lost since the recession began in December 2007.  And yes, nearly all major private-sector industries lost jobs again in April. BUT, while declines were widespread, the numbers of jobs lost receded compared to previous months. The loss of 539,000 jobs in April means that 142,000 fewer jobs were lost compared to the 681,000 lost in February (revised down 30,000), and 160,000 fewer compared to the 699,000 lost in March (revised down 36,000). This is the least amount of jobs lost since October, which saw a decline of 380,000 jobs. And with regards to the unemployment rate, keep in mind that it is a lagging indicator of the economy. That’s why we look so closely at the number of jobs lost versus the unemployment rate. Consumer confidence, business investment and consumer spending usually recover ahead of the jobs market. Next month will tell.  If the number of jobs lost in May is less than what was lost in April, that could signal a road to recovery. There was also some growth. Health care remained strong, adding 17,000 jobs; Government grew by 72,000 jobs, attributed mainly to the hiring of temporary workers for the 2010 census. But there were job gains - albeit small - in some other sectors: Food manufacturing grew by 10,000 jobs. Bookkeeping and accounting services added 3,000 jobs (keep in mind, it was tax season). Management and technical consulting services added 2,000 jobs. Gasoline stations, waste management, motion picture and sound recording, and membership associations added 1,000 jobs each. So is the economy on the mend? We don’t have a crystal ball, but it’s worth reading this MSNBC article.

Mother’s Day Survey Reveals One Third of Working Moms are Burned Out Posted: 05 May 2009 02:30 PM PDT Today, CareerBuilder released its annual Mother’s Day survey, the results of which I might not bring up at this Sunday’s brunch, lest you risk ruining your appetite for Eggs Benedict (and that is not okay where I come from)… It seems that struggling to find a work/life balance as they take on additional hours and second jobs in tough financial times is starting to take a toll, as 34 percent of the 496 mothers surveyed report feeling “burned out.” Not all that surprising consider that, according to the survey, 30 percent of working moms, whose companies have had layoffs in the past 12 months, are working longer hours, and 14 percent have taken on second jobs in the last year to help make ends meet. The survey results also indicate that working moms are feeling increased pressure to be able to continue providing for their households and are spending more time on work: 40 percent of working moms fear losing their jobs today more than they did one year ago 43 percent work more than 40 hours per week 16 percent bring work home at least two days a week 6 percent bring work home with them every workday Increased workloads are impacting the quantity and quality of time spent with their families - adding to their feelings of anxiety:   Nearly 20 percent spend two hours or less with their children each day 25 percent missed at least two significant events in their child’s life in the last year One third of respondents are willing to take a pay cut to spend more time with their kids - even today, during one of the toughest economies in the nation’s history Needless to say, “burned out” employees don’t exactly make for the most productive employees - even if they are bringing work home with them. This holiday, honor the working mothers at your company by thinking of ways to ease the stress that comes from raising a family in addition to holding down a job. Encourage employees to take care of themselves - Research shows that unhealthy employees are less productive, according to a recent Workforce Management article.  Encourage your employees to take advantage of health and wellness benefits (there’s a good chance they may not even be aware of all the benefits available), as well as vacation time so that they can take needed time off to recharge and spend time with their families.  Be open to providing alternative work arrangements - Alternative work arrangements not only help your workers maintain a better work/life balance (or “juggle” as HR Ringleader prefers to treat it), but they have a positive impact on productivity.  Consider compressed work-weeks, flexible hours that let employees start earlier and leave earlier and telecommuting. Know when to say when - As the infamous Bayer plant explosion shows, overworking your employees can lead to disaster (quite literally, in this case) At the same time, your employees are likely hesitant to say no to any projects that come their way, even if it means taking on more work than they can realistically handle.  Be sure to check in with them to see that they’re able to handle the amount of work you’re giving them - be flexible and willing to acknowledge that some projects may need to sit on the backburner so other projects can take precedence.  You may also look into providing classes or workshops devoted to time or project management, which will help them better prioritize their tasks, utilize their working hours and, ultimately, alleviate their stress.
