Kick off your week with Monday Motivation!

Tip of the week

Job seekers: it pays to focus on applying for jobs for which you’re qualified. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should hold back if you think you’re a good fit. Don’t have training in a particular computer program or mastery of a certain skill set listed in the job posting? Employers often don’t expect applicants to check off every single desired skill. It’s worth noting that research shows that women tend to apply for jobs for which they feel 100% qualified, while men apply for jobs for which they’re 60% qualified. Don’t have a college degree? More and more employers are prioritizing experience over credentials, like Google, IBM, and others.

Tip of the week

Are your interview answers sounding too generic as you rehearse them? Throw in a few objective work examples to each of them. Don't just say how great you are at project management, teamwork, or conflict resolution; prove it! Tell the story about how you addressed (and succeeded) in such situations.Think of typical work interview questions, practice a relevant example for each, and use them strategically.

Tip of the week

Write a Memorable Cover Letter: For many positions in the creative sector, a cover letter doesn’t need to be dry in order to be professional. Write a thoughtful cover letter that is specific to the position to which you are applying, and try to include a well-placed, interesting detail about your past experience or passion for the position. This is one way to help a recruiter or HR professional remember your application among all the others!

Tip of the week

In a busy, competitive job market, it's common to hear that we must always be objective. Applications should take advantage of bullet points, numbers, and facts, that's true. That doesn't mean, however, that they have to be boring. The way you talk about this data is also important to make sure you capture the attention of recruiters. Practice telling concise stories with a beginning, middle, and end that highlight relevant aspects of your career. Not sure where to begin? Here are a few tips from the Columbia University School of Professional Studies.

Tip of the week

Based on a LinkedIn Study, job seekers first look for the compensation package and then qualifications after a job title has caught their eye. Therefore, a critical piece of information is missing for job seekers when the salary range is not included. They use the salary range and qualifications to assess if they are right for the job before ever applying. Including a salary range will help attract more of the right candidates.

Tip of the week

Remote work has been making the lines between personal and professional life even more blurred. Avoid burnout by upping your time management skill game and remember: more hours spent working does not necessarily mean more productivity. Set non-negotiable working hours and budget time for periodic brakes. If possible, delimit a clear workspace within your household (it can be a particular part of your dining table, for example) to set clear, physical boundaries between work and private life. Struggling to stick to your time management plans? Try techniques and apps like the Pomodoro or Flowtime.

Tip of the week

You probably heard many times that you should schedule a practice interview with a mentor or a friend before the big day comes, and that's still true in the age of virtual interviews. But there's one more thing to consider while we're social distancing: your technology! Test your equipment and install all necessary updates, download any software required for the meeting, and double-check your internet connection in advance. Still, you may encounter some last-minute issues. If you do, don't panic! Consider it an opportunity to demonstrate your troubleshooting skills while under pressure.
