Theme: Ways to find a job. Job postings.

 There was a time when people got a job right out of school and stuck with it until they retired. Those days are gone for good. Today, people have to be nimble about locating new job opportunities, preferably before they're forced to do it. Here are some new strategies to keep your career moving onward and upward.

1. Networking

It's known as the hidden job market: Many of the best jobs are never advertised. They are filled by candidates who learn of them by word of mouth from friends, former colleagues, and ex-bosses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

·  Networking, online and in person, is one of the best ways to stay on top of what's happening in your field, including what jobs are open and where.

·  Check in on job search sites frequently. For best results, look for one that specializes in your field.

·  Don't snub temporary or freelance work. They often lead to full-time opportunities.

Networking is another word for socializing. You can join professional associations, attend events for graduates of your school, connect with professionals who work in your field, and take every chance you get to meet up, in person or online, with others in your field.

Various online sites such as LinkedIn allow you to broaden your network to include friends of friends. The bigger your network, the more likely you'll find out about new opportunities.

2. Referrals

Some employers offer incentives to their employees for referring a successful candidate to the company. It's a win-win situation for everyone. You get a new job, and your contact gets a finder's fee for attracting a top-notch employee.

That's relatively rare, but there's nothing stopping you from asking a valued friend who works in your field to let you know about any openings. The working relationships you create at every job may open other doors years in the future.

3. Job Boards and Career Websites

Job boards used to be just that – a solid surface on a wall where vacancies were advertised for all to see. Job boards have moved to virtual format, and that's good news for all of us since their reach is far greater.

If you're just starting out, an internship or even a volunteer job can get you in the door.

Many state governments provide job boards and job banks that can be accessed by all. You can also use job search engines or any of a vast number of career-related websites that post job openings, such as Monster.com, Google for Jobs, CareerBuilder, and Indeed. Many other databases specialize in freelance and contract work, including People Per Hour, Upwork, Simply Hired, and Crowded.

There also are specialized job search sites for particular fields, like Dice for tech professionals and ArtsThread for artists.

These websites function in a similar way to traditional want-ads, but they have a far greater reach and a much quicker turnaround time.

4. Job Fairs

Job fairs are often targeted toward specific industries, although some job or recruitment fairs are more generalized. The promotional material will include a list of the organizations that will be represented.

Investigate any companies that interest you, bring a batch of resumes and business cards, and get ready to sell yourself. Consider any conversations with recruiters as mini-interviews that can set you apart from other applicants. Some organizations may even offer on-site interviews to candidates that match their requirements.

5. Company Websites

If you already have your dream employer in mind, go directly to the career section of the company's website. If you track openings on its site, there's a chance you'll find just the opportunity that you've been waiting for.

Create a list of employers that you'd like to work for and visit their websites often. If you're really set on working for a specific company it may take some time to find just the opportunity that fits your skillset. But if you've got time, this might be the optimal method for finding your dream job.

6. Cold Calling

If you don't see any job listings posted for a company you're particularly interested in, you might consider making a cold call. Phone or email people in the organization after finding their contact details on the company website. Ask about upcoming vacancies, and attach a copy of your resume.

Keep in mind that this kind of contact may not always be well-received. You'll be lucky to get any response at all. But there is always a chance it'll give you the inside track on upcoming vacancies.

7. Headhunters and Recruiters

If you're looking for some professional help in your job search, headhunters and recruitment agencies can help.

Many organizations hire through recruitment agencies to streamline the hiring process. Head hunters actively recruit individuals to fill specific vacancies.

Payment is based on commission. Make sure you know up front whether you or the company is paying it.

Keep in mind that many high schools and colleges have job placement services that can help new graduates to develop their resumes and assist both current students and alumni with job searches.

8. Temping or Internships

Temporary employment and short-term contracts often lead to permanent positions. It's a great way to get a foot in the door or at the very least provide you with useful business contacts to call upon in the future.

Many recruitment agencies can assist with locating temporary or casual positions and contract work.

Internships are a great choice for students who are just graduating from college. The job placement services of many schools connect their students with opportunities.

If you're just starting out and you can afford it, volunteering can be a great way to gain valuable industry contacts.

9. Creative or Outlandish Tactics

In a competitive job market, some job seekers have pulled out all the stops. Billboards, chain letters with a copy of your resume attached, or even pasting your resume to yourself and walking around the city as a human billboard are just some of the methods job-seekers have used to get noticed.

These methods may actually work, but be cautious. Be sure that your creative tactic is appropriate for the industry you're trying to break into.

Homework

Give answers to the questions: Which of the following ways of finding a job do you like? How would you get a job? Write your detailed answer 10-14 sentences.

 The British have not been regarded as a particularly musical people and, from the end of the 17th century until the 20th century, there were relatively few British composers of international renown.

Before the 16th century, musical life was centred on the church, especially the cathedrals and the royal chapels. The choral works of John Taverner, William Byrd and Thomas Tallis are still performed today, most notably by the choirs of King's College, Cambridge and Christ Church in Oxford. Secular music in the 16th century included the instrumental work of William Byrd and Orlando Gibbons and the madrigals of Gibbons and Thomas Morley.

Henry Purcell, famous for his opera Dido and Aeneaf (1689), has been described as the last great English composer before the 20th century. John Gay's The Beggar's Opera (1728), is still occasionally performed, and the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan are among the few 19th century British works that are still part of the repertoire.

The 20th century saw a renaissance in British music with the work of composers such as Delius, Hoist, Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Walton, Tippett, Maxwell Davies and Britten. Britten in particular came to be regarded as a specially "English" composer, partly through the English themes of several of his operas but also through the folk songs and church music that provided the inspiration for many of his other works.

There is now a flourishing musical life in Britain with more people going to concerts than ever before. The BBC plays an important part in the development of music both by commissioning new work and by supporting orchestras. The BBC Radio 3 programme, which is broadcast throughout the day and evening, is devoted mainly to music. Many British orchestras and musical groups have an international reputation. They include the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and others. Famous choirs include the Bach Choir and the Royal Choral Society. Music festivals held annually include those at Bath and Aldeburgh, and the Three Choirs Festival, held at Gloucester, Hereford and Worcester in turn. The popular series of Promenade Concerts held every summer in the Royal Albert Hall, London, are broadcast by the BBC.

At a more modest level, almost all schools and colleges have an orchestra, and many towns have a choral society. Music in the home is more likely to be listened to than played, but many homes have a piano.

Questions:
1. What was musical life centred on before the 16th century?
2. Were there many British composers of international renown before the 20th century?
3. What is Britten famous for?
4. What happened with British music in 20th century?
5. What famous British orchestras and choirs do you know?
6. What role does the BBC play in the development of music?

 

Homework:

Write about your favorite British singer (you can make a presentation). Tell us about the beginning of his/her musical career, about the honors, awards and achievements in his/her career, and your own impression of the energy of this person.

Theme: Company presentation 

How Do I Design a Successful Company Presentation?

A company presentation is a great way to introduce your company to customers, partners or stakeholders in the context of a sales or marketing discussion. Making an effort to create the most professional PowerPoint presentation possible really pays off, as it reinforces your audience’s impression of your company as professional and authentic.

Use of company presentations

Company presentations can be used in many situations:

§  on your own website

§  for training external employees, to explain company values and priorities

§  employee onboarding, to inform new colleagues about the company at a glance

§  celebrating a company anniversary

§  for welcoming customers and suppliers at an open day

§  to introduce the company on portals and network pages on the internet

§  on social media (e.g. Xing, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook)

§  in sales talks during customer visits

§  at trade fairs and congresses

§  at universities, to inspire potential new employees

§  on video portals and platforms such as YouTube

 

1. Show what makes your company special

It is very tempting to simply present data, figures and facts in a company presentation, but too much information of this kind can overwhelm your audience, even turning them off completely. Avoid sentences like “We are the best” or “Our company is great”, though, because such boasts usually leave a bad impression.

2. Keep it simple

Although you need to include the important aspects of your company – locations, customers, company structure, products, competencies, portfolio and certifications – try not to overwhelm your audience with this information. Nobody can remember hundreds of facts about the company anyway, even if you use suitable visual aids (pictures, infographics, etc.). In company presentations, as in so much else, less is sometimes more.

3. Tailor your company presentation to each customer individually

You’re naturally going to present your company to potential employees in a very different way to presenting to external industries, for example.  Each target group and industry has individual needs and makes different demands on a company presentation. It simply won’t work to create one company presentation and reuse it again and again. Of course it takes time and effort to adapt your presentation to each audience, but it is genuinely worth it, leading as it does to improved success rates.

4. Use pictures, but not necessarily from your brochure

Including pictures or drawings in your presentation can help establish an emotional relationship with your audience. However, these don’t necessarily have to be the high-quality pictures from your brochure; using images of colleagues at their everyday work can come across as more authentic and make you look approachable.

5. Storytelling WORKS – even in company presentations

Storytelling is a great way to capture an audience and hold their attention for as long as possible.  If you’re telling an interesting story, people will listen.  Find something exciting to relate about your company. 

6. Check your grammar and spelling

Another point that sounds obvious, but is unfortunately often overlooked. When you’re presenting your company, errors in spelling and grammar make a negative impression, and can ruin all your hard work. Get your presentation proofread by an outside person; fresh eyes can spot the errors that are often accidentally overlooked by those familiar with the subject of your presentation.

7. Choose your words well

Sentences that induce curiosity or tension in the listener can be a great way to get your audience’s attention. Starting a phrase with a word such as “Imagine…” involves your audience emotionally in what is happening. It is particularly potent when you sketch an example – for example around your service – and so make it clear to the audience how your company can help them.

8. Introduce your team

Even your products or services are exceptional, it is a good idea to introduce your employees as part of company presentation. Everyone knows that behind a good product or service there is a team of people who develop or produce these products or implement the services. A team slide is a  great way to present the human side of things, enhanced by an organigram or organizational chart.

9. Include testimonials

Testimonials can add a lot to a successful company presentation. Use this opportunity to ask the customer if you can use their opinion on your website or for your company presentation as a reference. For some presentations it can also be worth letting employees have their say. Colleagues can be very effective as advertising ambassadors within a company presentation.

What should be covered in a company presentation?

These tips are certainly a good start to creating a professional company presentation. It can be a challenge, though, to determine what exactly to include in the presentation. 

– Set out the facts about your company

The most important facts about your company should appear in the first few slides of your presentation.  Company name, type of legal entity, year of foundation, number of employees and product groups all need to appear here. In order not to overload the spectator with numbers, though, this is where it is useful to add striking visuals; for example, flat design icons or striking diagrams.

– Present your company structure with an organizational chart

Instead of presenting each employee on a separate slide, it can be very effective to use an organizational chart. It is a great way to present the hierarchy of a company and show its structure. Should your company be part of a group, you can also show the interrelationships between companies clearly in this way.

– Present your certification

This can be a rather dry topic, but certification is mandatory in many industries. If a company does not have the relevant certification (e.g. safety certification), cooperation is out of the question. Certifications are therefore extremely important, especially in the manufacturing industry. Naturally, the need for certification varies from industry to industry, and you’ll have to assess whether this is relevant your company, but if it is, it is a vital part of your presentation.

– Present key facts and figures

Admittedly, this can also be a double-edged sword. A company naturally wants to present itself in the best light in a company presentation, so (for example) high potential expenses for further development may be best unstated.  Some key figures relating to finance, however, help to create a solid and professional impression.  There are no hard-and-fast rules, as each audience is different, but a lack of financial information could give a negative impression.

– Highlight your expertise

Although it is often included as part of a general introduction to a company, it can be extremely effective to present the particular expertise and competencies of your company as a separate section of your presentation.  Highlighting your strengths as a company can be even more compelling with the addition of striking visuals – graphics, icons and images, for example, which give your audience a strong and clear impression of what you do best.

How do I hold a company presentation?

So, with the help of a few tips above, you’ve created your amazing company presentation. You also need to consider how you present it. The way you present needs to reflect the relationship between you and your audience.  In an informal, mostly internal meeting, for example, you don’t need to stand and give a “classic” presentation, whereas remaining seated when presenting to a potential new customer would be highly inappropriate.

Giving your company presentation

It’s vital to be 100% certain of your facts when presenting.  If you’re not used to public speaking or are unfamiliar with all the content, it pays to practice the presentation a few times.  Being on top of the facts and figures really boosts the effectiveness of your presentation.  Practicing also helps you to inject a bit of passion and commitment into your delivery; even if your presentation is wonderful, just standing reading out the contents of your slides in a monotone can alienate your audience.  A bit of practice and you’ll be presenting your company in the best way possible!

Prepare a shorter version of the company presentation

Social media and company portals generally require short and snappy, and are not the place for a comprehensive, all-encompassing company presentation complete with all the facts and figures. It is therefore useful to create a shorter version of your company presentation to promote your company via digital channels or as a basis for your website.  This gives you an even wider range of options when it comes to tailoring your presentation to get it just right for your audience.
