His story has become a typical case study in how to achieve success through personal branding, as Gary's brand perfectly matches my 2 Keys to Personal Branding Success. In this interview, I wanted to understand where this branding success came from and find out what a branding celebrity like Gary would recommend you do to achieve your own success.

Gary explains his philosophy of challenging yourself to great success and once you achieve it, moving on to the next thing. Confirmed: a key to personal branding is knowing who you really are. Build your personal brand by discovering what your passionate about and create content around it. Network around those things to improve your chances of meeting the person that will hire you. The first step to “Crushing It” is to have a web home that you own i.e. not a Facebook or Twitter profile but your website or blog. Don't make the massive mistake of staying in a career if you're not happy even after considering all the effort you put in. You only live once. Gary details how he finds new opportunities. And I almost forgot: Dumbest question in the interview: When I asked Gary if his lemonade stand at age 5 was the “first time he ever went out on his own.” If you have any other favorite moments in the show, tell us in the comments below. Gary has just released his new book Crush It! Why Now is the Time to Cash in on your Passion is the book Gary discusses on the podcast and it goes on sale today, October 13th 2009. In “Crush It!”, Gary explains in more detail how to discover your passion and then harness it to achieve your goals. Here's a quote about the book: Everything has changed. The social media revolution has irreversibly changed the way we live our lives and conduct our business. There are billions of dollars in advertising moving online, waiting to be claimed by whoever can build the best content and communities. Despite this change, most people keep working at jobs that don’t make them happy and businesses continue to ignore the major marketing and public relations benefits that can be found online. If you're working at a job that doesn't make you happy or worse, looking for a job that won't make you happy, Crush It! will inspire you.

How to Write a Resume for an Internship

How to Write a Resume for an InternshipWhen it comes to creating a resume for an internship, there are many things that can go wrong. You may find yourself embarrassed, confused, and even hurt by the experience.Perhaps you will never be hired because of poor resume writing skills. But more likely, if you have never done this before, you will be overwhelmed and unable to finish the job. The second thing you should know is that your resume is for a professional person who has the skills you are looking for. There is no need to show off your various skills or abilities.Instead, focus on presenting your best skills in your best areas and detailing your technical skills. Your objective here is to bring in the most qualified professionals possible. However, keep in mind that this can become a competition. It's understandable to want to stand out. This is why you should choose the company with the best writer to send your resume.There are also things that you can do to make sure you are hir ing the best candidate. Be as open and honest as possible. Do not pretend to be something you are not. If you show up to an interview and talk a mile a minute you will not get anywhere. Remember, when an employer gets to see your resume that could be the only time they ever get to see it.Keep in mind that you don't have to write it perfectly. An internship is hard on anyone. However, if you take a few notes throughout, you will be able to show what you have learned and what is important to remember about your career. To get the most out of the writing process, plan your own internship to fit your skill set.Avoid writing something short that has the potential to catch the attention of the company. They will not do well with short documents. Instead, plan on your own resume to include everything. Include all your best skills, even if they are technical.During your internship, you will learn things and then you will become even better. Even if you know how to do something, it is still good to practice the skills in real life situations. Always stay up to date with your career. Even if you are new, you should already know what you want to do.Lastly, when you are writing your resume for your intern job, be honest. You want to impress and want to make your resume the best it can be.

A week of journalism Why journalists misquote everyone...or do they

A week of journalism Why journalists misquote everyone...or do they I met my husband when he was in film school at UCLA. He was doing quirky video art instead of mainstream feature films, which made me think hed be good to date. So when he was interviewing people for a video about memory, I was happy to participate. I tried to be really charming in the interview scintillating, funny, adorable all the things he might want in a date. Then a year went by with no contact. Then I got a call from him. He ended up making the whole video about me, and the video was being shown in Europe and winning film festivals and it was part of UCLA film schools curricula. He said he spent a ten months editing my interview and he felt like hed been talking with me the whole time. Of course, I knew this was my cue. On our second date, I saw the video. He had footage of me telling all the most important stories of my life. He cut up the footage, reordered it, and created a tool that allowed viewers to recombine stories as they unfolded. He basically made me sound like a lunatic. Like I was probably a liar and maybe delusional, depending on how someone ordered the video. I fell in love with him immediately. I thought the work was genius commentary on storytelling. We each tell stories that matter to us. We take in the world, and tell it back in a way that creates meaning. My husbands video is an extreme example, but it resonates in a lot of different contexts, including journalism. The reason that everyone thinks journalists misquote them is that the person who is writing is the one who gets to tell the story. No two people tell the same story. Not every example of this is so extreme as my husbands video. Look at David Sedaris and Amy Sedaris. They grew up in the same house, but they dont have the same tales to tell from it. They are both great writers who see different stories in the same facts. Journalists who think they are telling the truth dont understand the truth. We each have our own truth. When you leave out details, you might leave out what is unimportant to you but very important to someone else, and things start feeling untrue to the person who wishes you included something else. Recruiters, by the way, know this well. If I get fired from three jobs but I only report that during that period I taught dance lessons to toddlers, I am not lying. I am merely telling the part of the story that I want to tell. No one can tell every part of every story. The details are infinite. But in this case, the fact that I left off the details most important to the recruiter makes the recruiter feel like its lying. But its not. Im telling my version of the story. So everyone feels misquoted because people say twenty or thirty sentences for every one sentence that a journalist prints. Its always in the context of the journalists story, not the speakers story. Heres my advice: If you do an interview with a journalist, dont expect the journalist to be there to tell your story. The journalist gets paid to tell her own stories which you might or might not be a part of. And journalists, dont be so arrogant to think you are not one of those who misquotes everyone. Because that is to say that your story is the right story. But its not. We each have a story. And whether or not someone actually said what you said they said, they will probably still feel misquoted. And this problem is not limited to text-based journalism. When my husband and I got married, we had a big wedding. When the photos came back, I said to my husband, These are terrible. He missed all the good photos. And my husband said, They seem fine. Theyre the photographers version of the story.

Virtual You

Virtual You photo courtesy digitalart Your online footprint is an important part of your personal brand. Just like a company selling a product, online is where many people will find you first. You should be aware of the elements you must manage. Social media.   There’s a reason I mentioned this first. Because of the nature of my job (public relations, blogger) I have a pretty big online footprint. Two years ago, a Google search for my name (with no location) would turn up about 14 pages of content (mostly relevant) and the majority of the content would be actual news stories where I was quoted.   This week, the same search for my name turned up a very different search. The first two full pages of relevant content were all linked to social media: my LinkedIn profile, my Facebook page, my blog sites, and my company website.   News items from traditional media did not appear until page three.   (Traditional news sites should take notice.) News and public notices.  Obviously, there is good news and bad news about getting your 15 minutes of fame. If you’ve been featured in the news for the wrong reasons, the articles or notices will show up for years unless you take action (more about that later.) Arrests, foreclosures, legal matters may all sneak into your digital footprint.   So will obituaries where you are mentioned, home sales notices, etc.   Someone with the same name may also confuse the issue. It’s important to know what’s out there; you may have a doppleganger who becomes famous and shows up in searches for your name.   For the next few years, my name will show up in searches because of a tragedy in Jacksonville, Arkansas.   Candace Moody of Jacksonville, AR, was a victim of a murder-suicide, and news items continue to appear about the incident. There’s also a prominent obituary, which may alarm casual searchers.   It’s especially challenging because the city where I live is usually a reliable way to sort my results from other peoples’. Close misses include people who spell their name almost the same way you do (Candice is a common variation of Candace.) Watch for Twitter accounts, blogs and social media pages that sound like you but may contain content that is definitely not you. So how do you manage all these sources? First, you have to know what’s out there about you.   It’s easy to set up a Google alert on your name (and location, if you have a more common name.) Just go to www.google.com, set up an account (which will also allow you to store maps and directions) and set up how often you want to receive emails with your search parameters. This is also a good way to keep up with companies or industry leaders you are following in our job search. You should also make sure you have a robust online presence on social networks.   Even if you’re just posting links to articles you find helpful or interesting, activity on social networks will help push down other mentions in a search for your name.   That’s one way to “manage” your online presence.  Another is to make sure you sound like yourself (presumably) intelligent and literate.   Remove any posts that were written in haste and contain misspellings or opinions you wish you hadn’t posted.   The difference between online and real life is that online lives forever. Resist the impulse to post your snarky complaints and comments to social networks. Make sure your privacy settings are up to date, and that you share personal information appropriately.   The way you manage your own confidential information is how you’ll manage your employer’s information as well. Give them confidence that you understand how privacy policies work.   Facebook now allows you to organize lists (family, friends, classmates, etc.)and use them to organize the information you share.  While you’re creating your presence, consider brand consistency.   Use the same profile picture or avatar across sites so people can recognize you when they see you. Use similar or the same biographies and usernames (and make sure that they can be linked to you as a professional; @jacksonvillecutie may not ring a bell with your future employer.)

Job Search - Stop Using Yellow Sticky Notes for the most Important Project in Your Life

Job Search - Stop Using Yellow Sticky Notes for the most Important Project in Your Life Job Search Stop Using Yellow Sticky Notes for the most Important Project in Your Life After 30 years of a sales and marketing career in Fortune 500s, and helping thousands of people get jobs, I continue to be shocked at how job-seekers are NOT organized to run a great search process. What Im numb to are the same excuses used for why you don’t have a great process in place: Ive never had to organize a job search before I have notes and I put them all in a folder I have a really good memory…no need for a better process Job Search is all about meeting people, not note-taking Really? Well, Cut the Crap, Get a Job! And crap comes in two forms: 1. Excuses that prevent you from being the best candidate in todays highly competitive market and 2. Mistakes you make that sabotage your ability to win a job. Regardless if you are thinking about job-searching, just started, or have been searching for a long time, you need to turn off whatever you think is a process and re-start with an entirely different approach. Why? Youre stuck in a paradigm believing that what you are doing is a winning way. Its not. If I had the neuralizer from Men in Black, I would use it on each and every one of you to erase what you think you know. Its a new era that requires more advanced skills. What tools you need: A PC with Microsoft Office (owned, free at library, borrowed from a friend) OR Pen and Paper and a binder What you need to build with those tools: Contact List for all of the people you will be meeting and following up with. Your network is the most valuable asset that should be treasured well past the job search process. So, in Outlook Contacts (“People” in Windows 8), enter a New Contact and organize each contact into “Categories”. Examples of categories are: Family, Friends, Peers, Job Search, Associations, etc.. Goal Worksheet: Document the hunt. What are you looking for? What cities, what industries, which companies within each industry in your city, what functions and what specific job titles? Job Opportunity Tracker: A table, spreadsheet or simply lines on a paper with each row representing a different job opportunity. It may be a lead from a friend at the gym, or a posted job description. If it is something you are ready to pursue, it becomes a row. The most important part of this tracker is the information about when you applied and when you will follow up. Any “next step” must be captured. Calendar: Why is it that so many job seekers use their calendar for work or when to take the kids to school? However, when it comes to the job search, we don’t use it. So bad things happen such as saying “Yes, Ms. Marshall, I will call you to follow up next Wednesday.” Yet you forget (because it wasn’t in your calendar), youre embarrassed so you never call her. There goes your dream job. All because you thought you could remember or you didn’t want to use the tools at your fingertips. In summary, avoid this CRAP and step up your game by building a strong foundation of tools and the discipline to rely on them heavily. Good luck, job-seekers!

Dream Job - Making It Real - Hallie Crawford

Dream Job - Making It Real I spoke at the Junior League of Atlanta Wednesday night on Find a job you love: 6 Steps to clarify your career direction. It was a great event. I was thrilled to receive this feedback from one of the participants: Enjoyed meeting you last night is such an understatement! Like I said, I got more out of that hour and 15 minutes than I did in most of my college classes! I went home and talked my husbands ear off about it!. As a career speaker I dont think feedback can get better than that :-). Thank you to everyone who attended! At the event I was speaking to a woman who really wants to own a dance studio. Currently  she doesnt have the financing to start a business, and she sees this as a huge challenge. She imagines being able to start her own business so far in the future that she hasnt done much to even get started on it. She was very bummed and overwhelmed and asked me for my advice. I told her to achieve her dream she just needed to take one step. This would help make it real for her. I told her to look at real estate to rent a dance studio and I recommended joining an association for small business owners where she could network and learn more about starting a business. The point I was trying to make for her was this: How do you eat an elephant? The answer is one bite at a time. If you dont take one step, your dream is just looming out there. Your goal that will never happen! What first step will you take in reaching your career goals? Have a great weekend! Career Speaker
