A Great Online Identity = More Job Opportunity and More Career Options

10/28/2020

 
In our last couple of blog posts, we've addressed the subject of properly building an online identity.

Specifically, we drew a correlation between your online identity and The Matrix movie series and we also discussed the link that exists between your online identity and your personal brand.

However, there's one big reason why you should be carefully constructing and maintaining your online identity, and that's because not everybody is doing so. In fact, by some estimates, far less than 50% of people are taking the time to build their online identity.

Why bring this up? Because everybody should be building a comprehensive online identity. After all, the Internet isn't going away anytime soon, and competition in the job market is certainly fierce at the moment and might get more so in the weeks and months ahead. In fact, there's reason to believe that level of competition will remain, no matter how much the economy recovers and grows.

Building your online identity is all about opportunity. It doesn't matter whether you're looking for a new job right now or not looking for a new job. Everybody likes to have more opportunities and more options.

  • If you're looking for a new job, then you're looking for new opportunities on an almost daily basis. You welcome them, and a complete and impressive online identity can increase the chances that you'll find such opportunities.
  • If you're not looking for a new job right now, then you're not actively looking for new opportunities, at least not in a way that consumes a large amount of your time. However, an online identity can still help to create more of the opportunities you want.
So remember - you can't take advantage of an opportunity for advancement if that opportunity doesn't exist. Building and maintaining an online identity that brands you in the best fashion possible gives you a competitive edge in the marketplace and a head start in your quest for more satisfying work and a more fulfilling career journey.

If you are currently seeking a new job, Time Staffing's team of qualified staffing specialists offers assistance to job seekers in the light industrial and clerical fields. We prep candidates thoroughly by answering their questions and addressing their concerns.

Are You Providing the 5 Things That Job Candidates (and Employees) Want?

10/21/2020

 
If there's anything that's become evident in the employment marketplace during the past five to 10 years, it's this:

No matter the size of the candidate pool, big or small, finding and hiring the right people is as difficult as it's ever been.

You don't want to hire just anybody. You want to hire a great candidate, the kind of person who will turn into an employee who can make an immediate impact and continue making an impact throughout their tenure with your company (which will hopefully be a long and prosperous one).

However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and prevailing economic conditions that exist in this country, there are many people who are averse to making a change - or entering the workforce at all, for that matter. That doesn't mean they won't do these things. It just means that they're hesitant to do so.

When you get right down to it, there are certain things that job candidates want in a potential employer. And when you think about it, your current employees want these things, as well. If you don't provide these things to them, then they might think about making a change. And in terms of your best employees, that is something that you do NOT want to happen.

Remember, the best job candidates in the market are very confident in their abilities. (That's part of what makes them great in the first place.) And if you want them to come work for you and your organization, then there are five things that you must offer to them. Those things are as follows:

  1. Challenging, stimulating work
  2. Opportunities for growth and advancement
  3. Chances to be recognized for their accomplishments
  4. An outstanding leadership team with vision and direction
  5. A healthy work/life balance with accompanying flexible schedule
Does your company provide these things - ALL of these things? Ultimately, you want to give great job candidates the right reasons to work for you... and your best employees the right reasons to stay with you!

If you need temporary or direct employees for your workforce, then Time Staffing can help! We have experience identifying and screening top-notch candidates in numerous fields for a variety of employers. Our goal is help you hire the right employee at the right time to get the right results.

The Link Between Your Online Identity and Your Personal Brand

10/14/2020

 
In our previous blog post, we discussed how The Matrix movie series actually reflects real life in regards to the importance of your online identity.

In this post, we'll discuss the link that exits between your online identity and your personal brand, especially as it pertains to your career. But first, a word about your "personal brand" vs. your "professional brand."

While it might seem as though these two are different, they aren't. Simply put, your professional brand is part of your personal brand—it exists within it. This mirrors real life, since your job or what you do for a living is only part of who you are.

That being said, when a company official "Googles" you for information, what they find is going to brand you in their minds - both personally and professionally. They're going to form an idea about what kind of person you are, what you like, what you dislike, what's important to you, what's not important to you, etc.

And they're going to form these ideas and brand you in their minds without even speaking with you or meeting you.

Consequently, it would be a good idea to construct your online identity with two goals in mind:

  1. Making sure that your online identity matches your real-world identity as closely a possible.
  2. Making sure that your online identity brands you as positively as possible.
So - what should you do? Pretend that you're a company official or hiring manager. "Google" yourself and see what search results are returned. Then write down what those results say to you about the person you're researching (if that person wasn't you, of course).

Then ask yourself these questions:

  • What was your first impression of this person?
  • Has this person branded themselves in a positive fashion - or a negative one?
  • Would you want to hire this person?
  • What questions would you have for this person, if any?
Based on your answers to these questions, what changes should you make to your online identity? Should you add information? Should you delete information (and maybe some pictures)?

Chances are good that changes of some kind need to be made, and you should make those changes as soon as you possibly can - for the sake of your online identity, your personal (and professional) brand, and your career.

The Matrix, Your Online Presence (Identity), and Your Career

10/7/2020

 
The Matrix series of movies was rather entertaining and thought provoking. However, the premise of those films - that in the future, people will exist in reality, as well as in a virtual world run by computers, might already be here.

After all, as a person, you exist in two places: in reality (the real world) and on the Internet (a virtual world run by computers).

Here's the first problem: your virtual or online presence often does not closely match your real-world existence.

Here's the second problem: the first place that potential employers often meet you isn't in the real world . . . it's in "the Matrix" (i.e., on the Internet).

Actually, for the purposes of this article - and the purposes of advancing your career - you should have more than just an online presence. You should have an online identity.

If you've been lax in the attention that you've paid to your online identity, ask yourself this question: if you knew for sure that a hiring authority would see what's online about you before they even speak with you or meet with you, how would that change your attitude about your identity?

Why is this a pertinent question? Because that's exactly what happens.

As you (hopefully) already know, hiring authorities "Google" the names of job candidates long before they call them on the telephone or invite them in for a face-to-face interview. They see what the Internet turns up, including what a general search returns, as well as what information is available on social media.

In our next blog post, we'll provide some additional tips for what you can do to construct an online identity that will do you justice - since that's the first identity that many potential employers are going to meet.

And when they do, you'll want them to echo the words of Neo from The Matrix: "Whoa!"
