Use the arrows to move one week at a time, or use the calendar to pick any week you want. Second (see image on the left), we didnt realize this was an issue (doesnt everyone have wide monitors??), but some folks had to scroll horizontally to the right just to see the next/back navigation on their list panel. Now on teh right hand side we put in some simple navigation arrows to allow you to go to the next page without scrolling Note its the same thing as the next/back links, just on the right.

Career Development How to Improve Your Skill Set as a Freelancer

Career Development How to Improve Your Skill Set as a Freelancer Depending on what career you have chosen, your career and development is in your hands. This has never been more true than if you work as a freelancer. In any job, you want to progress and move forward. When you work for yourself, though, you are often so busy that it is hard to set aside time to think about the next steps in your career. You are the one getting all the work done, as well as things like all the admin. But having a focus and a goal for the next step in your career is a great idea to keep you moving forward. Here are some tips to get you moving forward and progressing in your freelance career. Set Aside Specific Time to Evaluate If you were in any other job, there would be time set aside when you would sit down with a line manager and go through your work. You would have an appraisal and evaluate how things are going and what can be done to improve things. So giving yourself a similar structure is a good idea. Mark the time in your monthly calendar so that you make sure that it happens. Then you can evaluate and focus on how things are going. Think about where you want to be and the steps to get there. Improve Your Skills To be able to diversify and learn new skills, you need to have some training. So look for some courses or training that will really benefit you. If they are courses that will improve your skill set and help you get to where you want to be, then go for it! As you are a freelancer and most likely work from home, online courses would be a fab option. Something like Docker online training would be a good option if you were looking to get up to date with software developing, for example. So have a look online for courses that will be suitable for you. Then if your dream gig comes up, you will have the skills to apply for it and progress. There are plenty of options for you to learn at home too. Not everyone is in a position that they can give up work to study. So luckily, there are a lot of courses that are part time. Then you can work things around your work. Things will be busy, but it won’t be forever. Regular Reviews It might be a good idea to schedule in reviews to see how your plans are going. Again; put it in the calendar to make sure that it all happens. Having a review at least once every six months is a good idea, to help you stay on track. Talking to family and friends about your career is a good idea too. When you work as a freelancer, it can be a little lonely in terms of colleagues. So share your thoughts and ideas with them. Getting lots of input from others is a good practice in the  freelance workplace. Images: Main   Apple     Books

How to gain followers on Instagram

How to gain followers on Instagram Do you have an Instagram page, but just cant seem to get your number of followers to grow?   Heres some tips on how to gain followers on Instagram. Create a clear strategy Before you start the campaign for subscribers, determine what you want to tell them. Think over the main subjects of your account and the goals that you want to achieve with it. Create a content plan for the coming month and write in short what you want to say through your posts. See how they reveal your chosen subject. That is how you will clearly understand who your account is focused on and how you will attract new followers for Instagram. Explore competitors Next step is to find out what is already exist within your topic. Find 3-5 main competitors and study them. Things to find out: what is the situation with subscribers in your niche what type of content is popular and what kind of response among subscribers it receives the frequency with which your target audience expects you to post how competitors interact with your potential audience Done? Use this information further and from time to time, update it. Check your account How your account looks are the first and foremost touch with new subscribers. Therefore answer a few questions: Do you use your niche keywords in the nickname or bio information? These two fields are indexed on Instagram, so choose carefully. How do you want targeted subscribers to find you? Is your profile photo simple, bright and vibrant? Would you click on it? Forget about the different inscriptions, because the picture itself is small. Write short abstracts, add emojis, be creative but do not overdo it. Is there an active link? Add the address of your website or link to other social networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), as well as on a YouTube channel or a specific video. Update the link whenever necessary. If you answered at least one of these questions no, then it is time to start designing your profile. Post daily Accustom yourself to publish 1-2 posts every day. Thus, you will maintain the activity of the existing audience and recruit subscribers. These posts may be in the form of a question to engage subscribers to active communication in the comments. You may have a story to tell, so end it with a useful conclusion or share an effective life hack that will significantly facilitate the life of your subscribers. There is also an option to tell how your days go. It also may be attractive if to put it right. Make a post every day at about the same time. You can do it by yourself or use automatic posting services. Such services are extra helpful because you can relax and not follow the time. Use catchy photos When preparing each post, pay special attention to the quality of the picture. Get people to become interested and click on the photo to read your post, maybe even go to the page and subscribe. Sounds not easy, but if you learn how to make a content that you will click at, the success will come. Add geolocation Get to know where your target audience is and add geolocation to your post. If you have a travel blog, mark the place you are writing about. Show your potential subscribers that you have the same interests as them, that you visit similar places. They may become interested in the place you took your pic at and may be wanting to make something similar. Do not omit to add text to the photo Memorable photos sometimes are not enough. And surprisingly, some people come to Instagram not to watch, but to read. Try to fit all the text in the description (2200 characters). It is better to break the post into several parts, and do not post an additional 4-5 comments. Remember that in the feed, your subscribers see the first three lines. You should pay special attention to them. Try different ways to interest the reader to read the whole text: add a call, ask a question, start telling a story and cut it off at the most exciting place so people will subscribe to continue reading later. Post many stories Instagram settings allow you to publish up to 30 stories daily. And it is an excellent opportunity to recruit subscribers. Why? You can publish various fresh photos and videos, which do not fit the theme while leaving your account clean. Stories are always at the top of your subscribers pages, and they see them immediately. By publishing stories several times per hour, you are still closer to the top of the list. Add captions, emojis and stickers to photos or videos. You can also publish not only the picture you just took but any in the last 24 hours. Subscribe to other accounts If you have created your Instagram account recently, then the number of subscriptions you have is small. Take time and learn new subscribers daily. This way, you will encourage them to respond more actively to your publications. Also find your target subscribers using hashtags, geolocation and with the help of the competitors. You can sign up for 50 people per hour. So go ahead! Comment on your subscribers Want your readers to be more active? Start talking to them in their account. Show interest, read posts, write comments. Your subscribers also want this and will be grateful to you for this attention. Write detailed comments, ask questions, start a discussion. This will draw attention to your account back, and your subscribers will become more active. Comment on popular bloggers It is always useful to know the interests of your target audience. Find the bloggers that your followers follow and start chatting with them in the comments. Accustom yourself to stand out among others. This will help to gain followers who are interested in your content or services. A perfect way to get attention: write something that most people disagree with and make them argue with you. But be careful not to get personal and stay within the bounds of decency. Use advertising The most effective way to reach out to your target subscribers is through advertising. Define the audience correctly, write a short, catchy text to hook new subscribers. Instagram ads are just starting to develop. Remember how many ads you usually have in your feed? 1-2 maximum. This means that readers are not overloaded with advertising messages and relate to them more. To sum up: To achieve fantastic results on Instagram, you need: make a good-looking account with catchy photos increase the activity of existing subscribers by a comment on posts from your target audience or famous bloggers publish posts, stories, live videos daily, because Instagram loves active users. If your posts quickly gain likes, it always happily promotes them. There are no secrets or tricks, only analysis of competitors, the study of statistics and constant work on improving your profile.

Michelle Phan Branding Tips from a Video Vixen - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Michelle Phan Branding Tips from a Video Vixen - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career If you’ve ever searched for beauty tutorials online, then you’ve likely come across YouTube superstar Michelle Phan. At age 27, Michelle has amassed over seven million subscribers and over one billion views, created her own makeup brand, em cosmetics, and is the co-founder of beauty social networking site and sampling program  IPSY.com. She has been profiled in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Nylon, Forbes, and Seventeen and has produced over three hundred videos to date. In the following interview, Michelle shares how she built her brand online, her views on digital versus traditional media, and her top pieces of career advice. Amanda Healy: Why did you decide that YouTube would be the best platform to develop your personal brand? Michelle Phan: YouTube was free. Not only for content creators, but for people to watch. It was like a huge television set for the world and very accessible. AH: What were some of your original goals? MP: In 2007 I was an art student, and like any other college kid I was struggling and strained. School was becoming a job, and with constant deadlines for paintings and designs I needed a stress-free outlet for my art. I started a personal blog with photos and my readers wanted to learn how I did my makeup. I posted a few pictures, but then realized that the beauty of makeup is best seen in motion. My school laptop had a built-in webcam, so I planned my first tutorial and downloaded a free editing tool. I’m not going to lie, my first video was AWKWARD â€" editing myself was so embarrassing! But I got over it and posted it to YouTube and didn’t look back. To my shock, the next day it had over ,000 views and surpassed 40,000 by the end of the week! It was incredible to read the comments and have people all over the world thanking me, asking me how to do a smoky eye, how to do an acne cover-up, etc. The comments kept pouring in, and that’s how it all began. My viewers were like little ducklings following me around; I took them under my wing and now it was my job to love and nurture them. AH: Why do you think that initial video was so successful? MP: No one was making videos like that back in 2007, or at least not at the same quality level. People were shooting video on flip phones, so my video stood out because it looked professional. AH: What challenges did you face? MP: Being overwhelmed was my biggest challenge. Growing up, I moved around a lot and didn’t make many friends. I was always the new girl, quiet and doodling all day in my notebooks. Now I had ,000 friends overnight. I felt this incredible connection with people I had never met nor probably would never meet. But I felt like I knew them and it was both exciting and overwhelming. AH: What does it take to pull together one of your videos? MP: The process has changed completely from when I was first getting started. Four years ago I would think of an idea, go out and purchase the supplies, buy a background, practice once or twice, then shoot the next day with a tripod, costume, and lighting. I would take two to three days to edit then upload the file to YouTube and select a thumbnail. The total process would take about ten days. Today I have a team that helps pull everything together. YouTube is no longer my full-time job as I have so many additional projects. It’s become a means rather than simply an ends. Now I’m producing content for my blog, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. and I tailor it by channel. My YouTube channel is my largest base and that machine needs to be fed, but now I’m feeding a number of other machines as well. To manage this, I have an unbelievable team who assists with most of the logistical details. What hasn’t changed is the editing â€" I still edit about 70% of the videos myself! It’s my way of adding my personal touch. There is a famous painter named Rubin who was a rock star in the artistic world. At one point his work was so in demand that he created a factory and taught all these artists to draw and paint in his likeness. When each painting was complete, he would pick up the brush and touch things up and add his signature. This is similar to what I do now. While other people assist me, I make sure to add my own flair. The bonus is that in doing so I’m able to provide jobs for others. I could do it all myself and keep all the profits, but I prefer to live simply and enjoy being able to offer others the chance to do what they love. I believe in paying it forward to help my team to achieve their own dreams and ambitions. AH: How have your goals changed? MP: They change every year. You need to check in often and challenge yourself to chase something new. Four years ago my goal was to build a network and launch a makeup line. Now that I’ve achieved both, I really want to help others who are talented build their own brands. AH: Switching gears, how do you cut through the noise when 0 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube each minute? MP: It’s similar to how a TV network has to grab the attention of the viewer. It all boils down to having the right content for the right audience. Twenty years ago niche audiences were so much smaller. Now “niche” can mean ten million. Everyone can cater to their own niche market and still do well. The idea of monopolizing viewership is an old way of thinking. People want to watch what they want to watch and there is a YouTube channel for every taste. AH: How do you mix digital media with traditional to amplify your brand? MP: Leveraging both is so important. Some people think their brand can live online and disregard traditional media and vice versa. The truth is, the two thrive off each other. Traditional media needs help, and digital media needs structure. A hybrid model is a beautiful blend and adds a halo effect. AH: Do you believe you need a strong online brand to make it in business? MP: It depends on your audience and customer. Some heritage brands that have been around hundreds of years don’t necessarily need a strong digital presence, but they are mostly the exception. If the goal is growth, then an online brand is essential. Do you go to restaurants that aren’t on Yelp? The Internet has become our source of validation and information. AH: What are your top three pieces of career advice? MP: The first is to ensure you have support. You need positive reinforcement in your life whether it stems from your spouse, parents, friends, or children. You also have to support yourself. Entrepreneurship is like climbing a mountain; there are moments where you aren’t going to want to continue and you want to give up. You lose sleep, you lose your social life, but the view at the top is so breathtaking that when you look down at how far you have climbed the sacrifices are worth it. You also need to have unwavering passion for what you do. Everyone is good at something; figure out where your talent lies and bake it into your career. For example, say you are passionate about music but aren’t much of a singer. Instead of aiming to be a rock star, look for roles in the music industry where you can fuel that passion â€" maybe a stage manager, a sound mixer, a songwriter. People have this impression that a career path should be linear, but life is more of a zigzag than a straight line. Lastly, have a strong sense of your brand and vision. Entrepreneurship is not just like climbing a mountain, it’s also like a forest and you can get lost easily if you don’t have the right guide. If your goals change, you can alter your direction but don’t do it overnight. Think of rebranding like remodeling a house; don’t demolish the old to build a new, take your time and be subtle in your additions.

14 Challenging Job Interview Questions With Answers - CareerAlley

14 Challenging Job Interview Questions With Answers - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. Practice makes perfect, and that includes job interviews. How many times have you been asked that tough question and didnt have a good answer? Weve included some typical (and sometimes challenging)interview questions along with some suggested answers. Whilespecific answers are impossible to provide, the responses provided below should help you in crafting your own responses. When in doubt, practice answering these sample interview questions with friends or relatives. 1. Tell me about yourself This is the dreaded, classic, open-ended interview question and likely to be among the first. The interviewer wants to knowinformation that is pertinent to the opportunity. Focus on what youcan bring to the job. Its your chance to introduce your qualifications, good work habits, etc. Keep it mostly work and career-related. source 2. What do you know about our company? This is where doing your homework (see 8 Resources to Help Find the Right Company for Your Next Job). Ensure youve done your research on the company and industry before the interview. Hiring managers not only want to know that you are qualified for the job, they want to know that you know their company and want to work there. 3. Why do you want to leave your current job? The first rule of thumb is to be nice and to not speak poorly of your current company, coworkers or managers. Focus on answers that speak to looking for new opportunities, looking to learn more about the industry, looking for more responsibilities. source 4. Why do you want to work for us? Similar to question number 2 above, your research on the company should help. If you know someone who works (or has worked) at the company, leverage their insight and experience. Leverage your LinkedIn connections to get some data or use sites such as Glassdoor.com. 5. What are your strengths? Now is not the time to be shy. While you dont want to spend 15 minutes talking about your strengths, you do want to focus on those strengths that make you an excellent candidate for the job. Keeping that in mind, you know what question probably comes next. 6. What are your weaknesses? Everybody has weaknesses, and you really dont want to spend too much time on this one and you definitely want to keep it work related. Along with a minor weakness or two, try to point out a couple of weaknesses that the interviewer might see as strengths, such as sometimes being a little too meticulous about the quality of your work or wanting to please everyone. Do not useI work too hard. For every weakness, offer a strength that compensates for it. Photo by Evan Dennis on Unsplash 7. Why should wehire you? Point out your positive attributes related to the job, your related work experience and specific job/industry related skills. Include any accomplishments from your current or prior employer(s). 8. What motivates you and makes you want to work hard? Motivating factors can be self-serving, such as I want to become the best at this. Hiring managers arelooking for answers that demonstrate characteristics you possess that will help them decide if youre going to be a good fit for the organization such as whether or notyou a team player, do your values align with the job and the company. Most importantly, can they work with you. Focus more on achievement and the satisfaction you derive from it. 9. How do you handle pressure and stress? Another challenging question. Everybody feels stress, but the degree and how people handle it varies. Saying that you whine to your shrink, kick your dog or slam down a fifth of Jack Daniels are not good answers. Projecting your stress into positive activities is the way to go, such as exercising, relaxing with a good book, socializing with friends or turning stress into productive energy. 10. Explain how you overcame a major obstacle or challenge. This is an opportunity for you to communicate your problem-solving and critical thinking abilities. The interviewer is likely looking for a particular example of your problem-solving skills and the pride you show for solving it. Explain what you accomplished and how you did it. The hiring manageris interested in learning how you approach a challenge. Your thought process and problem-solving skills are key parts of your answer. Emphasize the outcome and what you learned from your experiences. 11. Where do you see yourself five (ten or fifteen) years from now? This question is older than time and I sometimes find it hard to believe that interviewers still ask this (but many do). You should have a career plan and you can use this opportunity to explain your career-advancement goals and how they alignwith the job for which you are interviewing. Mention that youd like to earn a senior or management position with additional responsibilities. The first thing to be aware of is that often its not your lack of ability that leads you to defeat its your nerves and mindset in how you approach the interview. Tweet This 12. What type of work environment do you like best? Again, having done research on the company will help quite a bit here. Much of your answer depends on the type of job. For example, if the job requires independent research (so you are sometimes working on your own), you should alsoindicate that you enjoy being a team player when needed, but also enjoy working independently. Mentionthat youre a strong team playerand work well within a collaborative environment. 13. Why do you want this job? Focus on what originally attracted you to the opportunity. Avoid the obvious and meaningless, such as, I need a job. Stress that (based on your research) this is a great company (give reasons why).Describe what you think the (positive) challenges of the role will be and why that appeals to you. Find a unique angle to relate. How will you stand out from the many qualified candidates? What will you bring to the table that no one else will? livecareer.com 14. What qualifies you for this job? Speak tothoseskills, experience, and education that specifically align with the role and industry.Explain why your achievements and experience are a great fit, give specific examples. Emphasize that you will bring fresh ideas to the role, you adapt quickly. Mention that you are dependable, goal-oriented and that youwork well in teams. While you can only be so prepared for the unexpected question, the most powerful tool you can have and use in your interviewis your skills and your experience. Prior to the interview, spend time thinking about all of the challenges and successes youve had in your career. What's next? Ready to take action?

10 Links to Find Your Recruiter and to Landing a Job - CareerAlley

10 Links to Find Your Recruiter and to Landing a Job - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife. Daniel Boone So what does a telescope and Daniel Boone have to do with Recruiters and job search? Its all about leaving the search to the experts and while you dont need to be Daniel Boone to find your next job, you should leverage the search experts to help you find your way. Many times (although not always), recruiters have job opportunities that have not been advertised (either in newspapers or on job boards). This is true not only for the high level executive jobs, but for many middle and entry level jobs as well. A recruiter is doing all of the leg work for both you (theyve sourced the jobs) and the companies they represent (by supplying candidates that theyve pre-screened). Recruiters should not be your only approach or source of potential jobs, but you should allow some time to leverage recruiters when conducting your search. There are a number of basics you should understand, such as recruiters do not cost you anything (the company pays).
