How to Track Recruiters in JibberJobber

How to Track Recruiters in JibberJobber Question from Stephen, a new user: How should you enter recruiters into the system? In my case, I have a bunch of initial contacts with recruiters, who may then bring a company job to me. It seems when you add a company you cant link it to a recruiter contact. Whats the best way to do this? JibberJobber is an online website that helps you organize and manage your job search.  Specifically, we are keeping track of: Network Contacts, Target Companies, Jobs you apply to (or are interested in). So, what is a recruiter?  It is not a JOB is it a Network Contact?  Is it a Target Company? Heres what I would do: ENTER THE INDIVIDUAL RECRUITER AS A CONTACT. If you are working with more than one recruiter at a company, enter the COMPANY, and then associate each recruiter (Contact record) to that company. In the question above, Stephen asks about linking contacts with companies indeed you can link (or, associate). On the Company edit page, at the bottom, you have the ability to link existing Contacts, and create a new Contact that will be associated.  Also, you can easily designate the Primary Contact for that Company. (See how in this 2007 blog post) So, when someone from the company calls you (whether its a target company of yours, or a recruiting shop), you can pull up the Company Detail Page and see all the associated Contacts for that Company. NOTE: associating more than one Contact per Company is a premium feature (9.95/month). Finally, heres why I would make a recruiter a Contact record: The freaking amazing, awesome Email2Log feature. In other words, as you communicate with the recruiter, especially via email, its super easy to record email conversations as Log Entries using this (premium) feature.  More here. Hope that helps!

The Secrets To Focusing At Work During A Breakup

The Secrets To Focusing At Work During A Breakup A breakup can not only cause great upheaval to your personal life, but it can also have a severe effect on your work life too. You might find it difficult to concentrate as you go through a range of emotions and consider what went wrong. But this can have a damaging effect on your work which could potentially lead to your dismissal or stop you getting promoted. So while it might seem impossible, regaining your productivity and focus at work is a must when you’re dealing with heartbreak. Take a look at these secret tricks you can use to get your professional life firmly back on track. Break down your task list No matter what industry you are in or job role you have, we all have tasks that need to be completed each day. This may include anything from answering emails to organizing a work meeting. But when you’re dealing with a breakup, even the simplest of task lists can leave you feeling overwhelmed. It can also stop you wanting to do anything which can make you feel ten times worse. Instead of wasting your work days, break down your task list into smaller and more manageable tasks. This will stop you from feeling overwhelmed, while also encouraging you only to focus on one thing at a time. You may also want to apply this trick to your personal life to help you feel more organized and in control. Create a different routine All couples fall into certain routines during their relationship. Perhaps your ex drove you to work each day or maybe you ordered food from the same restaurant each week. When the relationship ends and the routine breaks down, this can leave us feeling vulnerable. But rather than wallowing, start creating a different routine instead. Ask a work colleague to carpool with you to work so you feel less alone. You can read your horoscope on AstroStyle.com or listen to music during your lunchbreak when your ex used to call. Make plans to go for drinks or to gym with your colleagues after work to keep your spirits high too. A new routine might sound scary, to begin with, but it’s the perfect way to rediscover your independence. Talk to your boss While you might be tempted to try and conceal your breakup, it’s important to let your boss know what is going on. Keeping your emotions locked up will only make you feel worse and more likely to breakdown. Arrange a meeting with your boss and discuss how you are feeling. They may be able to lighten your workload or suggest taking some time off. If you’re still nervous about talking to your boss about your breakup, talk to a work colleague you trust first. They can then accompany you and provide support when you share the news. For more advice about talking to your boss about personal issues, see careeraddict.com. The advice in this guide should help you feel more in control as you start to move on from your breakup. As your professional life starts to return to it’s former state, your personal life should begin to follow suit too. Image credits Main   Crumpled   Worried

Ladies Its Your Right to Define Leadership on Your Terms

Ladies It’s Your Right to Define Leadership on Your Terms The following is a guest post by Morag Lucey.  Her bio follows. As a female executive who has been through her fair share of triumphs and trials, I have a burning passion for cultivating strong women in the workplace. And as a woman who once served as a company’s only female executive VP, I know what it’s like to work in male-dominated cultures. More importantly, I know the immense value that female leadership brings to these kinds of environments. I’ve had the awesome privilege of working with some of the most inspiring women in the tech industry. I know what it’s like to mentor and be mentored; to teach and be taught. I know what it’s like to have humble and perhaps even unusual beginnings, considering how I got to where I am today (if you haven’t read my personal story, I encourage you to  here). For those who don’t know, I initially began my career in tech as a demonstrator at trade show events. In other words, my job was to gain the attention of males to promote a company’s product or service. This was a sexist environment back in the 80s. Needless to say, I never imagined I’d use that opportunity as a platform to one day become a thriving female executive. While I’m grateful to everyone who supported me along the way, it was women who specifically helped me identify my career path and determine what kind of leader I wanted to be, starting with my mum. Watching women, good and bad, in action helped me determine how I wanted to be perceived in the workplace and how I wanted to manage teams. What Does Success Look Like to You? (Hint: There’s No One Answer) But what exactly is success? The answer to this question will often depend on whether you’re asking a male or female. In fact, a study conducted last year concluded just this. The results found that while men defined success by their level of income and professional achievements, women defined it by the  quality of their relationships. Not surprising to me, the study also found that men were more likely to be C-level executives. This isn’t to say that men never define success by quality relationships or that women don’t correlate success with income. This certainly isn’t to say that women must inherit a male’s mentality to gain a seat at the executive table. Many people mistakenly believe that if you’re an executive, you must take on a certain styleâ€"the way you behave and actâ€"as opposed to just being yourself. As a successful female executive who is unapologetically herself, I hope I help prove otherwise. You can’t deny, however, that success is defined differently in a man’s world compared to a woman’s world. It’s vital women understand that this doesn’t mean their definition of success is wrong. There’s no end-all definition of success; rather, success is defined on our own terms. It’s not only OK but encouraged to define success outside of work. It’s OK to define success in the relationships we have as daughters, mothers, sisters and friends, and it’s also OK for us to define success by our income or personal achievements. Success is a highly individualized concept, and it’s important that it be respected as such. There’s No Better Time Than Now to Make a Difference In my opinion, there’s no stronger force than women banding together and owning leadership on their terms without any preconceived notions. Now is the time for established females to make it even easier for other women to be successful in the ways they want to. For some women, this may mean finding a way to acquire a position of leadership. For others, it may mean finding a way to make more of an impact in their day-to-day jobs while preserving work/life balance. I want to make it clear that this isn’t about pitting males against females. Rather, it’s about acknowledging the fact that (just like men) there are some things that women inherently excel at. Rather than mask those for fear they’ll be perceived as vulnerabilities, we should proudly capitalize on them and the value they bring to the workplace. To me, success means you’re empowered to do what you do best, and you’re respected by the organization you’re in. As a female executive with her own wisdom to impart, it brings me great joy to be giving back by pioneering key initiatives here at Avaya alongside other successful female leaders to help women define success and deliver value in their roles. Recently, and in partnership with my colleague and  Avaya General Counsel Amy Fliegelman Olli, we launched a Women’s Leadership Forum to inspire and work with female Avayans to reach their full potential through personal and professional growth. To cement its success, we’re creating a mentorship program, which will be available to men and women at Avaya, to help: Develop talent and leadership qualities Foster a stronger culture of open dialogue, collaboration and engagement Create a more compelling diversity story in our workplace The Power of Team When I take a good look at the women in my life, I’m always struck by the ones who are lifting each other up. Lighting another person’s flame does not diminish our own, but rather helps to illuminate the world even more. We’re in this togetherâ€"I hope you’ll join me in shining bright!
