Once upon a time, a very long time ago in Internet years, I wrote a webinar and publication on finding your next job with social media. I stumbled over it recently while cleaning up one of my archives. While lots of the individual pieces are badly out of date, the work as a whole is still relevant. This series is a new version of the old stuff, modernized for today.

Pitching

Pitching is the art and science of selling, of asking someone to exchange value with you. It’s one of the hardest things to do as a job seeker, and consequently one of the things people do least well. Let’s look at how to pitch using a cover letter or introductory statement.

The Cover Letter/Introduction

Most cover letters are an appalling, confused mash of text: half wordy explanation, half begging. The goal of the cover letter isn’t to have an entire conversation with yourself. The goal of the cover letter is to pique curiosity enough to start a conversation.

What structure should you use for a cover letter? I lean towards short cover letters following the PEER structure:

• Point: One or two sentences. What’s the point of your communication? Be super clear that you’re not a vendor advertising something.
• Explanation: One sentence to answer each question:
  • Why are you the ideal candidate?
  • How are you different than every other candidate?
• Example: One or two sentences to showcase an example of your explanation.
• Recap: One sentence to recap everything, plus a strong call to action.

Keep things short and powerful. Brevity and clarity will make your cover letter far more impactful than lengthy bouts of attempted wit and banter. Save those for the interview!

Be specific in your examples and explanation. Use as many numbers and hard statistics as you can to highlight your value.

Focus on the hiring manager in your cover letter. Every aspect of your cover letter/pitch should be about what’s in it for them. How will they benefit by hiring you, or at least talking to you?

Example

Hi Mr. Penn,

My name is Christopher Penn and I’m applying for the position of VP of Marketing Technology at SHIFT Communications. (the point)

As VP of Marketing Technology, I will help SHIFT Communications double its marketing-driven revenue in three years or less. I’ve helped three previous companies double their marketing-driven revenue with digital, social, and mobile marketing strategies, leading to acquisitions and mergers. (explanation)

At my last company, Blue Sky Factory, I led the revamp of digital marketing first by rebuilding its SEO and analytics strategy in the first 3 months, focused on measurable business objectives. In the next 9 months, I rebuilt its social media and digital advertising strategy, focusing on high conversion rates and rapid experimentation. Marketing-driven revenue leapt from 500K to1.5M as a result, and we were purchased shortly thereafter. (example)

Would you like to double SHIFT’s marketing-driven revenue? I’m ready to help. When’s the best time for a conversation – would Tuesday at 3 PM or Thursday at 11 AM work better for you?

Sincerely,

Christopher Penn

The Followup

The worst mistake nearly every job seeker makes: insufficient or non-existent followup. Job seekers send one cover letter and resume, then never check back in. In sales, I was taught to follow up until we get a no or a yes. Check back in!

DJ Waldow, a longtime friend and colleague, has an outstanding sales email format that works not only for selling, but for pitching yourself as well.

Hey! A week ago, I sent you a resume and cover letter. I’d like to ask you for a ONE LETTER reply. I want to save you time: just reply with one letter:

A: Let’s set up a phone conversation.

B: You’re not ready to have a conversation yet. Check back in another week.

C: You didn’t receive my resume/it got caught in spam.
D: You’re not interested. Please don’t check in again.

One letter reply: Go!

Send this until you get a no or yes to companies you want to work for.

Next: Conclusion

In the next post, we’ll wrap this series up.

Easy Prospecting Wins

As I said in part 2, job search is a full time job, and it’s a full time sales job at that. We are selling – and part of selling is prospecting, finding qualified people to sell to. As any sales professional will tell you, prospecting is an essential, ongoing activity. Building relationships always pays off in the long run. Today, let’s explore some easy wins in outreach and prospecting:

• Passive following
• Social signatures
• Profile visitors

Passive Following

Here’s one of the easiest prospecting wins: passive following of people you want to connect with. Here, use your Twitter profile to follow people with biographies that mirror your professional aspirations. Look for people who have the title of your next manager; if you’re a manager today, look for directors. If you’re a director today, look for VPs.

Here’s an example, searching for the phrase VP Marketing on Twitter:

If I were looking for someone like me, this search would find me. Then I’d start to follow all these people. Follow 5 people per day, every day. A certain percentage will follow you back; when they do, send them a personal direct message (NOT an automated one!) and introduce yourself.

It should almost go without saying that anyone who proactively follows you first should receive the same kind treatment.

Social Signatures

Do you promote your LinkedIn profile and your other professional social media properties in your email signature? If not, do so!

This is a fast, simple way to help grow your audience, in accordance with Metcalfe’s Law from the previous post.

Profile Visitors

Specific to LinkedIn, we are able to see who has visited our LinkedIn profile recently. At the top of your LinkedIn home screen is a link to the people who have visited your profile recently:

Click through to see a list of who has visited recently:

Connect with people you’re not already connected to (and are relevant to your job search); message those people you are connected to and say hello. I’m a fan of a simple message like this:

Hey (name of person)! Thanks for swinging by my LinkedIn profile. Anything I can help you with?

Prospecting is a Habit

Where most job seekers fall down is failing to prospect daily. You cannot simply prospect when you need to, when you need a job. You must prospect all the time, every day, whether you need it or not – because some day you will need it. Follow these three easy wins and prospect every day. Turn prospecting into a habit, and you’ll be able to do it in 10 minutes or less a day.

In the next post, we’ll look at how to pitch a prospect – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Networking Principles

In the last post, we examined the 5C’s of effective networking. Today, we’ll dig into 3 concepts that will make your community and professional networking efforts more impactful:

• Metcalfe’s Law
• Social synchronization
• Network capture

Metcalfe’s Law

Robert Metcalfe, the inventor of Ethernet and modern computer networks, created a law in the early days of computer networking. Metcalfe’s Law states that the value of a network is proportional to the number of people squared in the network.

Think about this from the perspective of modern social networking. A network with one user isn’t a network at all. Social networking services have lived or died based on their number of users.

As it is for social networks at large, so it is for our personal networks. When we build our networks, one of the best ways to provide value first is to connect people within our network to each other. A small personal network means limited opportunities for points on the network to connect. A large personal network means multiple opportunities for points on the network to connect.

Every connection we help to make, every opportunity we broker strengthens our personal brand, our professional presence. Thus, it’s to our advantage to build networks to be larger rather than smaller. All other things being equal, choose to connect with others by default, then work to create connections and bridges between nodes in your network. Introduce people. Get to know the people in your network and who needs what.

Social Synchronization

A fundamental truth we often ignore in business and online networking is that networks are not the same. The people who follow you on Twitter may not be the same people who follow you on LinkedIn. The people who read your blog may not be the same people who read your email newsletter.

From time to time, remind people that you’re active on other platforms. Perform what I call a “social synchronization” and highlight the networks you’re active on, especially if you have larger networks on Twitter or Facebook than LinkedIn, which is still regarded as the top business networking social medium.

Here’s an example of a Tweet I recently sent which accomplishes this:

Network Capture

The third fundamental principle of modern networking is that you don’t own your networks. Your Facebook Page? Your Twitter handle? Your LinkedIn profile? You don’t own these things. You rent them. One of the reasons I encourage people to connect with me on LinkedIn is that it’s one of the only networks which allows me to download my connections, the basic connection details – including email address – of the people in my network.

From time to time, as you synchronize your social networks, use LinkedIn’s download feature to snag your network and archive it on your hard drive. Take the time to personally introduce yourself by email to each person – not with a mass mail, but with an actual personal email. You might be surprised at the results.

Next: Easy Wins in Proactive Outreach

In the next post, we’ll walk through some easy wins for prospecting, for reaching out to people to build your network or actively look for work.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago in Internet years, I wrote a webinar and publication on finding your next job with social media.

This series is a new version of the old stuff, modernized for today.

Building Your Network

Serendipity is like hope: it’s a wonderful gift and we should never spurn it. However, it’s a terrible strategy. Building these digital assets isn’t enough. “Build it and they will come” hasn’t worked in years, if ever. We must be proactive in building our network, attracting people to us.

Build Before You Need It

The absolute worst time to build your professional network is when you desperately need it. Why? It’s very difficult during times of need to channel what’s known as Giver’s Gain.

In normal times, we engage in Giver’s Gain, providing value to our networks first without asking anything in return. We create, we share, we amplify, we connect. Later on, when we do have a need, we can simply ask and the social debts we’ve created in our favor often reap swift results.

When we’re actively hunting for work, human nature and psychology changes us. We ask with an expectation of receiving immediately, and that changes our language, how we interact with others. Network before you need it, if possible.

How to Build Your Network

Professional networking is about creating community, and community is composed of five building blocks, the 5Cs:

Caring

When we interact with others, we have to legitimately care about them. We can’t just feed random social media posts into scheduling software and walk away.

• Caring means interacting with the people you connect with.
• Caring means you put your community’s interests ahead of your own.
• Caring means you think of how your networking will benefit others.

Caring follows a sort of golden rule: if you don’t care about others, you give others no reason to care about you.

Commonality

If we’re to successfully build our network, we shouldn’t proactively reach out to people who don’t share some kind of common ground with us. In professional network, that typically revolves around our work – the industry we work in, the role we perform, etc. Find your tribe, the people who you share common ground with.

Here’s a practical example: in Twitter search, type a job title in your profession. Below, I’ve entered CMO:

These are people I’d want to connect with, and in many cases I’ve reached out.

Connection

The third building block is connection, reaching out to people you want to connect with. Caring and commonality are prerequisites if you want to reach out and be received well. The worst sentence in all of professional network is probably…

“I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.”

I’ve seen that sentence thousands of times in my years on LinkedIn. It’s the default text in the invitation to connect. That sentence showcases that you don’t care and you haven’t a clue what common ground we share.

Follow people who are relevant to your work, as I showed in the example above. Connect with 5, 10, 25 people a day – but do so thoughtfully, with caring and connection.

Content

The fourth building block is content. When people connect with us, they’ll often look to see what we share. Who are you, and what are you about? We make these judgements based on the content others share, so it’s reasonable to assume others do so. What do you share? How much do you share?

While I would never turn over my social media accounts entirely to machines, I do believe in using scheduling software to create a frame, a scaffolding of discussion starters. I share 5 interesting things I’ve read every day using software from Buffer.

As with connection, caring and commonality dictate what I share. If I didn’t care about my community, I would just share the fastest stuff I could find, regardless of quality. If I had no common ground with my community, I’d share irrelevant stuff. Instead, I share things my community relates to – marketing, analytics, a bit of entertainment, and curious content.

Conversation

The final building block is conversation. If we’ve done the previous steps well – caring about our community, finding common ground, connecting with relevant people, sharing great content – inevitably others will talk to us. We can’t ignore them. We shouldn’t ignore them. Invest time to respond, to participate in conversations, to join group chats and discussions. Conversation is an opportunity to learn what else your community cares about – and for the job seeker, it’s an opportunity to identify hiring needs (gently).

If you never participate in conversations, you’ll never find those opportunities.

Next: Community Concepts

In the next post, we’ll examine some common guidelines and practices for building our community based on the 5Cs, including Metcalfe’s Law, social synchronization, and capture.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago in Internet years, I wrote a webinar and publication on finding your next job with social media. I stumbled over it recently while cleaning up one of my archives. While lots of the individual pieces are badly out of date, the work as a whole is still relevant. This series is a new version of the old stuff, modernized for today.

Publishing Your Brand

Now that we have gathered our assets, It’s time to make them public. Before we can reach out and let people know we are searching for a new opportunity, we have to build a place for them to go. In fact, we have to build several places for them to find us, to be where they are. We want two kinds of properties: owned and rented.

Owned property is typically our website, though it also can include our email newsletter. Rented property is typically a social network, something that we don’t own, we don’t have direct control over. We can publish to it, we can maintain a personal profile on it, but we ultimately do not have any say in how the property is run.

Domain Name

Before we can build a website, we need to have a domain name. Purchasing a domain name is simple and straightforward. Choosing a domain name is slightly harder. For job searching purposes, choose a domain name that reflects your professional name. For example, this website is built at christopherspenn.com. I chose that name because I share a name with a now-deceased actor.

For some people, their professional name differs from their legal name. For example, you may be known by your unmarried name. Choose the name you are best known by professionally for your domain name.

Website

Once you’ve procured a domain name, set up a simple website to house your story, your resume/CV, and a contact form. For more information about the website setup process, check out this post from our Marketing for Kids series.

Social Media Profiles

Social media is where most people fail to publish themselves well. To establish yourself as a leader in your field, be sure to share information on a regular, frequent basis. Share your own thoughts, share content from industry leaders, share timely news.

You’ll want to separate your personal social media accounts from your professional ones; if you use a network (such as Facebook) for personal use, be sure to set up either a business Page or a second account for your professional presence. You’ll also likely want to retroactively restrict your personal posts to Friends Only privacy settings, especially if they contain any information that would be harmful to your reputation.

LinkedIn

Your first social network should be LinkedIn. Create a LinkedIn profile and add as much information to it as possible. Remember all the awards, certifications, and other heuristics from part 3? This is where you publish it all. Unlike a paper resume/CV, you don’t need to worry about “too many pages” on LinkedIn – just relevance.

Publish every position, award, certification, etc. that showcases who you are professionally and who you aspire to be. Leave off experiences that aren’t relevant to the position you want next; I don’t put the summer I spent driving forklifts as a teenager on my profile because it’s not who I am or what I do now.

Twitter

A Twitter account can be an excellent vehicle for sharing lots of bite-sized information. Add your profile, photo, and website to your Twitter profile.

Facebook Page

As mentioned earlier, your personal Facebook profile may contain “disqualifying information” – content that could lead a hiring manager to pass you by. Disqualifying information includes:

• Political or religious opinions
• Content that could be misinterpreted as insensitive or offensive
• Content showing inappropriate photos/videos of you
• Content that could be taken out of context and misunderstood

I strongly encourage you to set all your past and present content to ‘friends only’ and set up a Facebook Business Page for yourself as a public figure. Use that Page to showcase who you are as a business professional (no matter your occupation) and let that Page be found easily in search.

Next: Thought Leadership

All these social media profiles and websites/blogs are a good starting point, but they are vehicles. Like a car, if you don’t get behind the wheel and drive them, they do nothing but collect dust. In the next post, we’ll examine how to leverage these properties to work for you.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago in Internet years, I wrote a webinar and publication on finding your next job with social media. I stumbled over it recently while cleaning up one of my archives. While lots of the individual pieces are badly out of date, the work as a whole is still relevant. This series is a new version of the old stuff, modernized for today.

Packaging Your Brand

Tour work experience and education are the engine of your career. Like any car, an engine is not enough. We must provide the exterior, the polish, the beautiful design to make the car appealing. True, an underpowered car isn’t fun to drive, but no one wants to sit directly on an engine, either.

Packaging your brand means putting your story in containers, “giving it handles” for people to take, to carry, to share.

Packaging Pieces

To have an effective personal brand, we’ll need four assets: story, image, media, and credentials.

Story

We covered story in the previous part; we need a short, medium, and long version for different environments.

• You’ll use the 140 character version for things like social media biographies.
• You’ll use the 2-3 paragraphs for cover letters, introductions, and the start of your LinkedIn profile.
• You’ll use the full page version in speeches, interviews, and blog posts.

Images

A clean, professional-looking headshot is a must in today’s digital world. If you own a smartphone, you can take a decent professional-looking headshot without necessarily hiring a professional photographer (though you do tend to get what you pay for). For more information how to take your own professional selfie, read this blog post.

Media

The third type of asset you’ll need to collect is media. This can be video, audio, or presentations.

• Do you have a video of yourself speaking at an event?
• Do you have presentations or slides you’ve made?
• Do you have photos of your work?
• Do you have photos or videos of charitable work you’ve done?
• Do you have published works, such as articles, blog posts, books, etc.

The point of media assets is to paint a much bigger portrait of yourself. We want to show our talents in as many diverse ways as possible.

Credentials

The final asset type we need are credentials. These are any kind of certifications, endorsements, or validations of who we are as professionals, ranging from simple endorsements and testimonials on social networks to formal professional certifications and awards. Again, as with media, we want as many credentials as possible.

What if you don’t have any credentials? Go get some!

• Ask colleagues for recommendations or testimonials.
• Ask customers, if you’re customer-facing (and it’s appropriate to do so).
• Take some courses online and obtain certifications in your profession.
• Volunteer.
• Write for local publications or industry blogs.
• Submit your work for industry awards.

Heuristics

Why do we collect so much stuff? We want to take advantage of stacking heuristics. Heuristic thinking is a technology term which means thinking with algorithms, thinking by making snap judgements. When we’re job hunting, we’re often dealing with either machines or humans who are so strapped for time and resources that they can’t give us more than a tiny slice of their attention. When we pile up items like video, awards, certifications, etc., we take advantage of those attention slices.

A machine algorithm looking for specific keywords in our LinkedIn profile, for example, stands a better chance of finding those keywords in our many awards and presentations than if we lack those items.

An HR person making a snap judgement as they cull through hundreds of resumes should make a judgement in our favor if they see a long list of our awards, publications, white papers, etc.

Next: Asset Deployment

In the next post in the series, we will step through the various places where you must have these assets deployed, such as websites, social media profiles, etc.
