Films to Fuel Your Job Search

by Caroline Levchuck
hotjobs.yahoo.com


Whatever your situation, there's a movie that fits. From landing your first job to changing careers to surviving the office from "9 to 5," it's all been captured on film.

Welcome to the Jungle

Going from the classroom to the boardroom can be a shock to your system.

Check out these flicks for advice and inspiration on how to make a minor league job your launching pad to the majors.

"How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (1967)
You may want to pick up a self-help book after watching this classic film. J. Pierpont Finch (Robert Morse) makes a meteoric rise from window-washer to vice president of the Worldwide Wicket Company thanks to unscrupulous advice in a how-to book. Word to the wise: Don't believe everything you read.

"Reality Bites" (1993)
Budding filmmaker Lelaina (Winona Ryder) and her three Gen X friends find that college didn't necessarily prepare them for the perils of corporate America. A must-view when you're scared of selling out or surrounded by slackers.

"Secret of My Success" (1987)
There's always room at the top, particularly when you invent a position there for yourself. Hey, it worked for Brantley Foster (Michael J. Fox). He goes from mailroom clerk to whiz kid executive, thanks to a vivid imagination, some quick changes and lots of close calls.

"Wall Street" (1987)
If you think greed is good, visit Wall Street. Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen), burgeoning big-time broker, aims high and lands the biggest client of his life. But hapless Fox lets his lust for money compromise his values, relationship with his family and stature as a law-abiding citizen. Let it be a lesson.

Changing Channels

Changing careers can seem like risky business. Dispel your hesitations and find inspiration in these big-screen switches.

"Daddy Day Care" (2003)
If you've ever dreamed of opening a home-based business, you need to see this movie. Laid-off executive Charlie Hinton (Eddie Murphy) opens a home day-care facility and at first it seems that father knows anything but best. But with some hard work, Hinton and his buddies manage to make being a kid fun again.

"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939)
Average Joe Jefferson Smith (James Stewart) relishes his new job as a Washington senator. But the former scout leader soon learns he's merely a patsy and political pawn. Refusing to compromise his integrity, Smith uses his new career to change politics for the better.

"Patch Adams" (1998)
Hunter "Patch" Adams (Robin Williams) goes from psychiatric patient to M.D. in this fact-based film about self-discovery and determination. It's not all fun and games as Adams tries to infuse humor into patient care, but he ultimately proves his point that laughter really is the best medicine.

"Private Benjamin" (1980)
Judy Benjamin (Goldie Hawn) is trying to be all she can be. But for this "spoiled little rich girl", the Army isn't all she thought it would be. Against all odds, Benjamin finds she relishes fatigues over furs and discovers that the only man in her life is Uncle Sam.

The Daily Grind

Sometimes the biggest stumbling block in your career is simply surviving your current job. Take some survival tips -- and a few chuckles -- from the plights of these office workers.

"9 to 5" (1980)
Never underestimate the power of three: Doralee (Dolly Parton), Judy (Jane Fonda) and Violet (Lily Tomlin), coworkers who toil under the watchful eye of the evil Frank Hart (Dabney Coleman). After seeing how this trio teams up to turn life around at Consolidated, just imagine how you could change your company's culture.

"Clerks" (1994)
This cult classic tracks a day in the life of Dante (Brian O'Halloran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson), two convenience and video store clerks going nowhere fast. If you're having an "I'm not even supposed to BE here" day, this flick will help you deal.

"Clockwatchers" (1998)
You have to know when it's time to stop watching the clock and start acting. Temps Iris (Toni Collette), Margaret (Parker Posey), Paula (Lisa Kudrow) and Jane (Alanna Ubach) band together to fight inhumane treatment from managementin this dark comedy. Welcome to the world of "temporary insanity."

"Office Space" (1999)
Hasn't everyone wondered what would happen if they just stopped showing up for work? When Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) does, he not only continues to get paid, he also gets a promotion -- proving it really is a mad, mad, mad, mad corporate world.

Making It Big Time

Are you ready to reach for the stars?

Don't wait for divine career intervention or inspiration. Just do it.

After all, it worked for the characters in these "dreamy" flicks.

"All the President's Men" (1976)
"Washington Post" reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) know they've got a big story in Watergate. Unfortunately, they're the only ones who seem to know it. This story of dogged determination can help you stay the course when times get tough.

"Flashdance" (1983)
If you're ready to "take your passion and make it happen," this film will help you get in touch with your inner "maniac." A welder-by-day/dancer-by-night with big dreams, Alex (Jennifer Beals) can show you what a feeling it is to fight your fears.

"Jerry Maguire" (1996)
When you've walked away from a sure thing armed with only your principles, it helps to have what sports agent Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) had: Relentless drive and someone who believed in him. And we're not talking about Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.).

"Working Girl" (1988)
Whether your stumbling block to success is big hair or a bad local accent, Tess McGill (Melanie Griffith) shows the tenacity it takes to answer when opportunity knocks. Sure, she gets knocked around. But in the end, she gets a corner office on Wall Street -- and Harrison Ford.

Social Networking Can Damage Your Job Search if You Let it

Social Networking Can Damage Your Job Search if You Let it

Written by Ron Herzog Jun 07, 2009 www.jobsarticle.com


Social networking sites are fun and can be a huge asset to your job hunt.? Sites like LinkedIn are designed for professional networking can be a very important part of your job search strategy. In fact, the follow up to this article will outline exactly how helpful sites like LinkedIn can be in a job hunt and how to take full advantage of them. But what about the rest of the social networking stratosphere?? What about sites like MySpace and Facebook to name just two out of the many that are out there.

The positives:

You can keep in touch with friends.? They are places to express yourself and share your creative side.


The Possible Downside:
More and more companies are using social networking sites as part of their interviewing and background checking process and frequently find content on these sites that ultimately change their mind about offering someone a position.

The concept of social networking is great, but since you have little control over who sees your profile even if you set your profile to private you still have to be mindful of exactly what you put out for the world to see.


Set Your Privacy Settings to “Friends Only”
For those of you who haven’t taken this step yet get right on it.? The majority of people leave the setting as public, but if you are in a job search, this is the first precaution to take.

In Facebook, there are many options for how you can limit the information that other people can see, so take advantage of it.? In some cases, if you choose a large network like a major city and you don’t limit your settings, everyone in that network can see your information by default.? On the other hand, you can limit it to just your friends.? You can limit particular information, such as the applications you have added, posts on your wall, or photos in which you have been tagged, to just you so no one else can see it at all.? The many privacy settings can be found in the “Account” link when you log in.

The default setting in MySpace is public.? Go to your homepage and click on Account Settings.? Change the setting to “Friends Only.” If you are saying to yourself, “But I already set my privacy settings so only my friends can see my profile so this isn’t relevant to me.”? Not so fast! An article by Kevin Gray on www.jobweb.com told a true story of someone who almost lost a job offer because the company he was interviewing with was a state agency and was able to access his “private” profile under the Patriot Act.? That’s why the steps in the rest of this article are also very important in protecting your job search.


Only Invite Your REAL Friends into your Network
The MySpace website itself states that people are not always who they say they are.? While this warning is most significant in the area of child safety on the internet, it is also relevant to your job hunt.? You don’t want to open your profile to people you do not know.


Blocking Users
If you decide to block a user for any reason, just keep in mind that a blocked user can not even view your profile or see you in search results on Facebook, but they CAN still see your profile in MySpace, but they just can’t contact you.? It’s an important difference if you are attempting to block a potential employer.


Limit Personal info During Setup
When you create your MySpace profile, you are able to share a lot of personal information about yourself, such as sexual orientation, relationship status, ethnicity, body type, religion, occupation and income.? Facebook allows you to show your sex, relationship status and birthday.? Be aware that a potential employer can see this information.? The company should be making a decision based on your qualifications and not any of the above. It’s best to keep it out of the job search process so limit what you post.? You can also go back and remove or hide the information as you head into a job search.

Friend-only

“Friend-only Blog Comments”: If you only want people you know to be able to post comments on your blog or profile in MySpace, it’s important that you check this option under Account Settings.?

“Friend Only Group Invites”: Unfortunately, MySpace groups are being used to post adult content and unsuspecting people are being invited into these groups to increase the group’s membership count.? If you only want to be invited into groups by your friends, check this option.

Other Important Settings

“Approve Comments before Posting”: this function allows you to have control over what other people are posting on your page.? Without it, anyone can write anything they like on your page without you knowing ahead of time. Sometimes friends can write things that they may think are funny, but you wouldn’t necessarily want an employer to view as being endorsed by you. You can reject any comment that you deem inappropriate for what you want out there in your online presence.

“No Pic Forwarding”: This is a way for you to prevent people from sending links to your pictures to other people who you don’t know in MySpace.?? And while you don’t want people who you don’t know to see your pictures, you also have to consider the appropriateness of the photos that you are posting to begin with.? Think about what photos are acceptable to be seen by a potential employer and use that as a guide as to what you post.

Precautions
Get familiar with phishing scams and how to avoid them.? If you are ever sent an email that looks like it is from your social networking site, make sure it is legitimate before logging in to a fake site.? Your login information can be captured and explicit or unwanted content can be placed on your page.

Post For the Long-term
Sites like MySpace and Facebook are inherently about creativity and self-expression.? But don’t let that fool you.? An employer doesn’t necessarily consider a photo proudly displaying your 10 tattoos something they would be comfortable with, especially if you are being considered for a client-facing position. Don’t post for the “now” think about your future.? Will you be searching for a job at some point?? Will you be entering a conservative industry??? A picture of you boozing at a frat house may be funny to your friends at age 19, but may hurt your job hunt at a conservative law firm at age 25.

Take these precautions and your job hunt will be stronger because of it.? And remember that while there is a potential down-side to social networking sites during a job search, there is also a huge upside.?

Transferable Job Skills Might be the Key to Your Job Search

Transferable Job Skills Might be the Key to Your Job Search

Written by Ron Herzog Jun 07, 2009 www.jobsarticle.com


Job skills are at the core of any hiring. The bottom line that the employer wants to know is, do you have the skills to get the job done right.? If you identify your transferable job skills, you'll unlock a lot more opportunities in your search for employment. While your industry might be laying people off on a grand scale, there are other industries that have openings they need filled.


According to Ron Herzog, President, FPC, while many industries are hurting in this struggling economy there are many that have a good deal of hiring activity. Herzog says, “Most industries are hiring at some level, but the industries where we see the most activity are life sciences (Pharmaceuticals, Medical Device, and Bio Technology), chemicals, health care and energy."

And that's where your transferable job skills can strike pay dirt.

Obvious and Not-So-Obvious Transferable Skills

If you're in IT, you know your skills transfer to any number of different industries. After all, every industry uses computers to some degree, and businesses can't afford to have their system down for any length of time.

Some of the job functions that transfer across industries are:

  • Quality Control
  • Sales & Marketing
  • Engineering
  • Human Resources
  • Purchasing
  • Accounting & Finance
  • among others

So how do you identify which industries are open to candidates from other industries in these job functions?? Sue Kanrich, Director of Training & Operations at FPC says “Research how closely aligned another industry is with yours by looking at:


  • How it’s manufactured (or packaged if it’s a service)
  • How the product or service is used
  • Who is it used by

If there is a similar process with a similar audience (B2B vs. B2C), your job function may very cross over.? It’s worth investigating.? You may open up a whole new area for your job search.? AND, the similarities that you gather will be the basis for how you package yourself to potential companies in those new industries.”

There are also many subtle transferable job skills that you might not even realize you have.

  • Writing
  • Problem Solving
  • Research
  • Listening
  • Team Leading
  • Motivation

According to FPC, many companies are looking to hire candidates with strong leadership and team player instincts. The list of transferable skills goes on and on.

If you were a team leader in the automotive industry, you might be well suited for a position in another industry, such as biotech based on transferable skill set you gained as a team leader.

Develop your list of transferable job skills and check out “When One Size Doesn't Fit All” to find out how to incorporate them into your resume.

The Challenge of Transferring Job Skills

Listing your transferable job skills and finding a way to make them transfer to a position in a different industry takes work, but it's that kind of work that will give you an edge over others who are applying for the position.

Ron Herzog says, “The greatest challenge is having the candidate show the potential employer what he or she accomplished and how it can be translated to the new job.”

List your previous jobs and pull out your old job descriptions. Which parts of those job descriptions did you excel at? If you don't have a copy of your old job description, just list the tasks you were responsible for. Hidden among all the things you've done for other employers are the tasks you excel at. Those are your most important skills.? And who knows, those skills may well be the very same ones another industry is seeking.

Remember to couch all your job skills in a form that shows not just what you can do, but what you can do for the prospective employer. Every job seeker is a sales person. You're selling yourself when you contact a potential employer.

So, develop your list of transferable job skills, put them in your updated resume, read “So Tell Me About Yourself”: Perfecting Your Two-Minute Sales Presentation, and start to feature your transferable job skills when approaching prospective employers.

Why More People are Using the Internet for Job Searches

When you want a job, there is no need to visit every company and post the resume. All you have to do is register yourself and be a member of a job site. Previously job searches were considered a tedious task but due to job sites, job searches have become an easy task. There are several jobs available on the job sites. A job site is nothing but a database of various jobs that are advertised for various positions. All you have to do is specify the category of your job, the area and city in which you are looking for the job. The job site then lists the possible jobs according to your category. It also lists the company in which the jobs are available. A job site gives detail information about the job vacancies available in a particular organization. Thus, a job site is a convenient way of searching a job.

The main advantage of job sites is that you can search jobs from the house. You can simply post your resume to any job site and apply for job using just a mouse click.

You may be located in any part of the world. All you have to do is log on to that particular job site for searching job. If a job matches your profile, the job site sends a mail in your mailbox

Conventional job searches have taken a backstage. More and more people are using internet for searching jobs. The sole objective of a job site is to bring recruiters and job seekers together. A job site is like a job resource centre that has links to hundreds of jobs. When you post your resume on a job site, your resume will be viewed by thousands of employers and recruiters daily. Recruiters log on to job sites everyday for hiring people.

A job site simplifies job search process. Some job sites also provide some job searching tips that are very helpful in finding a job. Indeed job sites are a time saver. It is the fastest way of getting a new job. Most job sites provide excellent customer service that patiently listen and give answers to your queries. Once you post your resume, the job site takes care of finding the job. In some cases, after posting your resume, you may immediately get a call for an interview from several recruiters. Job searches on the internet have been rising rapidly, thanks to the number of jobsites available today.

For recruiters job sites are cost effective, as posting a job on a site does not cost much.
Most of the job sites that are available are user friendly and do not require indepth knowledge of computers for posting a vacancy advertisement.

A job site may have your dream job that is just a click away.
