Welcome to my Career Resource Blog! I'm Danielle Imlay and I've developed a blog to share my knowledge with students, alumni and anyone in the market for a career. I primarily search for job resources that apply to the Southern MN area because it's where I’ll be living. I enjoy mentoring students/classmates with assisting them in their job search and finding out how they could bring value to an employer.

I recently graduated from Minnesota State University - Mankato with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Marketing with a minor in Management and Business Administration. Please take a look at some of the resources I’ve listed. I’ve also recently became interested in SOCIAL NETWORKING and have a few tips on how to use the best resources (LinkedIN) to meet the RIGHT people.

Be Bold!

Enjoy!

Army Reserve Unit

Army Reservists to help Minnesota town build covered bridge
By PAUL WALSH, Star Tribune

Last update: April 30, 2008 - 3:06 PM


Minnesota Army Reserve unit members and residents from Holdingford this week will start building a cover for a historic 19th-century era bridge along the Lake Wobegon State Trail.

Participation by the 492nd Engineer Company of Mankato starting Friday is part of a training exercise.

At 164 feet, promoters say it will be the state's longest covered bridge. The project is being headed by the Holdingford Lions Club. The cover is being assembled in sections in Mankato and then will be moved to Holdingford for installation on the bridge, which spans Two Rivers.

"We need this bridge to improve economic and historical conditions in our community as well as the whole Wobegon area," Holdingford Mayor Ernie Schmit said in a notice to citizens, "by attracting tourists who wish to hike, bike, jog or snowmobile along a groomed and well-maintained trail.

"When completed, this will be among the longest active covered bridges on a trail in the nation."

The trail, which runs from St. Joseph to Sauk Centre on one segment and Albany to Holdingford on another, is built on an abandoned rail line and opened in 1998.

Part of weekly tip series for Career Distinction by William Arruda and Kirsten Dixson. Subscribe at Career Distinction personal branding egosurfing self-googling...

Before I’m off to relax and enjoy the evening away from my computer, I want to make a comment about our speaker last night. We had Scott Kuehl from BrandResolve for those of you who weren’t able to make it. Scott came and gave an AMAZING presentation to our club. I want to say he was our best speaker we’ve ever had because he had such a strong topic that truly applied to us, personal branding. His whole presentation was about “positioning ourselves” to the right jobs, the right employers, the right people. He talked about the personal branding process and some steps to figure out how to bring value into our environment, whether; it’s in our peers, family, work or school. Our purpose in life! We have to somehow figure out our passion! Scott talked about branding ourselves for our future careers…we have to determine how others perceive us…we have to develop a unique value proposition…and we have to define our target audience…


He recommended a book called, Career Distinction in which I've already read. I strongly recommend this book because it made me realize that I personally have to step it up a notch to stand out from my fellow classmates when in the market for jobs and figuring out how I can bring value into an organization. It also taught me some general lessons in life and made me realize how fortunate I am to be an enterprising American!

A quote that stuck with me during Scott’s presentation was:

I like thinking big. If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.

--Donald Trump--

Be Bold!

Thank you so much Scott for your time and dedication!

I want to recommend a website that everyone interested in marketing should visit Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association.

The previous link is a great resource to find the latest jobs in the Twin Cities and an opportunity to connect with people who work in web-based marketing, design, publishing, development and promotion. If you are someone who will be moving to the Twin Cities, I recommend becoming a member or volunteering for this association. I contacted them to see if I could volunteer with the events and they were great and wonderful to work with.

To become a member it does cost money but they have networking events each week and it would be a great long-term investment. I would consider joining if I didn’t live so far but that’s why I’m encouraging YOU to join! Get out there and MARKET yourself. How else are you going to position yourself differently to employers in order to get the dream job you’ve always wanted? Visit: MIMA.

Monday, April 21st at 4:45 we are having Scott Kuehl from BrandResolve come and present to MSU Marketing Club!I truly encourage everyone to come!

The College Grad's Job Search:

Be the Candidate In Demand;
Leverage Your Personal Brand


This inspiring presentation is ideal for young professionals who want to use "who they are" to help them land the ideal job, increase their success and maximize the value they provide to the world.


Personal branding is one of the new millennium’s hottest career strategy topics. It’s an essential tool for attracting and thriving in the right work environment.

In this presentation, brand strategist and MSU alumnus Scott Kuehl will help you learn the secrets of expressing your unique personal brand.

Branding is not about creating a false image for the outside world; it’s about unearthing and maximizing your true strengths and using them to stand out and achieve your goals.

Branding enables you to increase your confidence, self-motivation and visibility, so that you can build strong and enduring relationships inside and outside your organization.

You will leave with new ideas you can use to take your reputation, compensation and self-actualization to a higher level.

Resume Dos and Don'ts

When Preparing Your Resume ... Do:


-Tailor the resume to the opportunity by highlighting your qualifications and expertise that match specific job requirements.

-Accurately summarize the software and technologies that you are familiar with and how long you have used each one.

-Highlight your achievements by demonstrating the ways in which the projects you worked on affected the company's bottom line. Did they increase sales, broaden the customer base, enhance visibility, reach target markets or improve productivity?
Clearly show areas where you have been given increased responsibility for a job well done.

-Include special recognition, awards and participation in relevant professional organizations.

-Proofread for errors. You can be screened out for not being detail-oriented.
Review your resume with your references so they are up-to-date on your current accomplishments.

-Update your resume after every position or significant freelance assignment.

When Preparing Your Resume ... Don't:


-Misrepresent your education or experiences; one fabrication is often grounds for termination.

-Give reasons for termination or leaving a job.

-Include personal information such as your height, weight, Social Security number, social activities, and personal or religious philosophies.


-List references or state: "References available on request." The interviewer will assume that you will provide these contacts when asked.

-Use exact dates. Months and years are sufficient.

-Include your phone number or e-mail address at your current job unless your boss is aware of your intent to leave.

-List your high school education if you're a college graduate.

-Provide salary information in the resume. If the ad requests a salary range, include it in the cover letter. Otherwise, wait until the interview to discuss this issue.

Format for Scanning Resumes
-Resume management systems scan your hardcopy resume into their databases for recruiters and hiring managers to search for new consultants. Guidelines to follow when sending hardcopy resumes that will be scanned include:



-Mail an original copy without folds or staples. A faxed resume may not scan.
Left justify the entire document.


-Avoid graphics, italics, underlining, bold and shading.

-Save the file as "Text with Line Breaks," and put a hard return at the end of each line.

-Avoid tabs.


-Parenthesis, brackets, horizontal or vertical lines will not scan properly.
Do not use compressed lines of print.

-Use a sans serif font in size 10-14.

The Interview

Preparing for the Interview
-Preparation is essential to remaining calm under pressure and is the first step toward a successful interview. Here are some tips:



-Organize the night before. Your interview clothing, briefcase and portfolio should all be prepared. Make time for a good night's rest.


-Know the exact place and time of the meeting, the interviewer's full name (including correct pronunciation), and his or her title.


-Research the company through the Internet or library to learn pertinent facts such as annual sales revenue, principal lines of business and locations.


-Be prepared to ask questions of the hiring manager during the interview. Base these questions on your research to show that you've done your homework.


-Look your professional best. In most situations, business attire in a neutral color works well. Be conservative in your use of fragrance, cosmetics and jewelry.


-Bring several copies of your resume, along with your portfolio and a list of references.

Interviewing Do's:


-Arrive on time or a few minutes early.


-Greet the interviewer by last name if you are sure of the pronunciation. If not, ask the employer to repeat it.


-Wait until you are offered a chair before sitting. Sit upright, and look alert and interested at all times. Listen carefully and respond succinctly and articulately.


-Early in the meeting, try to get the interviewer to describe the job and the duties to you so you can focus your responses on your background, skills and accomplishments that relate to the position.


-Be sincere. Note achievements such as original concepts you developed, projects you managed and websites you produced.

Interviewing Don'ts:


-Don't answer with a simple "yes" or "no." Explain whenever possible.


-If you don't understand a question - or need a moment to think about it - say so. Never pretend to know something or someone when you don't.


-Don't make negative remarks about present or former employers. When explaining why you left, communicate your rationale professionally.


-Don't inquire about salary, vacations, benefits, bonuses or retirement on the initial interview. If the interviewer asks what salary you want, give a range based on your research of the job market, but indicate that you're more interested in the opportunity for continued learning and professional development than in a specific salary.

Use LinkedIn to Enhance Your Employment Options
What do Microsoft, Ebay, Netflix, and Target have in common? All these companies (and many more) have used LinkedIn to recruit candidates for employment.

Kay Luo, Director of Corporate Communications at LinkedIn, explains why, "The main reason that companies are using LinkedIn is to find passive job candidates. Another reason why companies are using LinkedIn, is because referrals from their employees are highly valued because they typically have a higher success rate (hence the popular "employee referral bonuses"). LinkedIn helps companies leverage the networks of their employees."

How Employers Use LinkedIn

One LinkedIn member (who will remain nameless because his company doesn't know he's job seeking) I spoke to received an inquiry less than 24 hours after posting his profile.

He was amazed at how fast a former colleague found him.
Steve Goddard obtained his current job through LinkedIn. Recruiters working for his employer, VMware, Inc., searched LinkedIn's database of information for people with relevant skills sets and experience pertaining to VMware's existing requirements.

The recruiter discovered Steve's work history, downloaded the information, circulated it to group managers, and then contacted him. After a couple of lengthy phone calls, VMWare scheduled an on-site interview. After that, it was hiring as usual.

Steve told me, "I regularly get headhunters or recruiters with small startup operations, that have found my contact information through LinkedIn, calling me or emailing me with new job openings and hiring opportunities." From the company's perspective, Steve noted that VMware internal recruitment staff believes that LinkedIn has been a tremendous help with recruiting.

It's also important to note that LinkedIn has reached a point where it's almost unprofessional not to be on LinkedIn. There are members from all 500 of the Fortune 500 companies. LinkedIn members comprise 130 different industries, and include 130,000 recruiters.

Search LinkedIn

Take a few minutes to search LinkedIn and I'm sure you'll find lots of contacts from your current and prior employers, clients, vendors, and schools. All those contacts have the potential to help you grow your career or find a new job. In addition, it can be a good source of employment references, as well as reference checking.

Job Search

You can search the Jobs section of linked in by keyword and location or used the Advanced Search option to search by more specific criteria.

How to Use LinkedIn

Guy Kawasaki's Ten Ways to Use Linked In provides good insight into how to increase the value of LinkedIn. One example is "Increasing your visibility, because by adding connections, you increase the likelihood that people will see your profile first when they're searching for someone to hire or do business with."

One way to improve visibility is to enhance your profile. Take a look at Guy's profile's Extreme Makeover to see what a difference a few changes can make.

Speaking of connections - the more the better. Guy's blog notes that "People with more than twenty connections are thirty-four times more likely to be approached with a job opportunity than people with less than five."

How to Use LinkedIn to Find a Job - Or Have a Job Find You


Create a Profile. Create a detailed profile on LinkedIn, including employment (current and past), education, industry, and web sites.
Consider a Photo. You can add a photo (a headshot is recommended or upload a larger photo and edit it) to your LinkedIn profile. Note that it must be a small photo - no larger than 80x80 pixels.
Keywords and Skills. Include all your resume keywords and skills in your profile, so your profile will be found.
Build Your Network. Connect with other members and build your network. The more connections you have, the more opportunities you have, with one caveat from Kay Luo, "Connect to people you know and trust or have a business relationship with, no need to go crazy and connect with everyone."
Get Recommendations. Recommendations from people you have worked with carry a lot of weight.
Search Jobs. Use the job search section to find job listings.
Use Answers. The Answers section of LinkedIn is a good way to increase your visibility. Respond to questions, and ask a question if you need information or assistance.
Stay Connected. Use LinkedIn Mobile (m.linkedin.com) to view profiles, invite new connections, and access to LinkedIn Answers from your phone.

I want to let the members of Marketing Club aware of our club web site. Just click on the link to the right and you can find out the semester agenda, contact information, and more!!

Good Morning,

Hopefully you all enjoyed your weekend! I want to talk about what started as an internship but now is a part-time job. I'm currently working at James Tower here in Mankato. I'm the Sales & Marketing support and James Tower is a full-service Internet Marketing Company that specializes in ecommerce, hosting, Strategy & Branding, web site development, email marketing, and search engine marketing. This is something I'm extremely interested in this focus in marketing and hopefully can continue on through graduation.

James Tower is located in North Mankato with almost 200 employees. The work environment is very impressive, including FREE pop, jungle in the lunchroom, and friendly atmosphere.

I organize direct customer contact for specific events including invitations, accommodation, travel itineraries, event planning, follow up, coordinate meetings including sales training, speaker events, tradeshows and education sessions, develop new sales and business initiatives for the higher education, internet marketing, and ecommerce line of business, and tradeshow marketing. Those are only a small fraction of the things I do at JT. One of the most important things I take part in is enter sales leads in a Customer Relationship Management System (CRM), the marketing department as a whole generates leads through email campaigning, web site, Monday Marketing Minutes, tradeshows, etc.

I want to talk about some potential job opportunities for seniors or event current students. They are currently hiring in the following departments: administrative, client services, project management, sales and marketing, technical services, and web hosting and database administration. If you have any questions about any of these or want contact information for any of the departments, let me know because I know mostly everyone! Contact me at danielle.imlay@mnsu.edu if you want any information. You can also go to their web site at www.jamestower.com. If you are in the market for a career, try an informational interview. Inviting a manager out for lunch for questions you might have and to form a relationship with them, would be a great move. One of our speakers, Jen Ringler, was here last semester; works at James Tower recommended this. I can hook you up with the names in change in any department!

To get more involved in the marketing industry, we offer a Monday Marketing Minute every Monday. It's sixty seconds of concise, pertinent advice to inspire your marketing efforts. The Monday Marketing Minute is the e-newsletter written specifically for you, providing up-to-date information and advice relevant to marketing. AND it's FREE!! What's really cool is that we also offer tons of resources on our web site. We offer online demos and events, news and information, white papers and articles about the company.

See everyone tomorrow at the meeting at 4:45 in AH 101. We are having Todd Kelzenberg from Ameriprise Financial. Free pizza and pop!

I want to share with you a great Marketer's Blog, Seth Godin. He makes a post everyday pertaining some sort of Marketing. Click on the link to the right and make it your homepage so you can read it each day you log on the web. He has a a lot of great books and web sites. I recommend reading some of his books.

Recent Graduates

Hello,

I wanted to make a blog that has advice and offers job searches for current college students, recent graduates, and alumni. I'm a senior as well in the job market and am having a hard time finding the PERFECT job. I love to explore the Southern Minnesota job market and want to help YOU find the right path!

I came across this wonderful website that offers a chance to enhance productivity through fun technology. They say that there is a large gap between unproductive virtual worlds - where people escape their real lives - and professional networking sites - where the barrier to meeting new people is high because of the distant environment.


The old rules of recruitment are dead. The way you portray yourself and the feelings associated with you are more important than the content of your words. The most important aspect of any interview is to create a relationship with the interviewer. Emotions are stronger than logic, and you need to create a positive emotion attached with your presence. This eBook will show you exactly how to stick in the mind of the interviewer in a positive way. Source: http://thefdworld.com/

I recommend clicking on Publications>Recently Added Publications>Download Making Your Self Stick. It offers news ways to perform a successful interview. This can be very beneficial for those upcoming college graduates out there. The other publications would be worth reading as well.

I want to start out this blog by also saying to NETWORK, NETWORK, and NETWORK. Around here, the mentality for looking for a job is, who you know, not what you know. An awesome social networking site to join is LinkedIn

I truly believe that is a great professional virtual network that is reliable for finding jobs, people, groups, and just to form relationships with some of the most intriguing people around the world.

I want to leave with a quote that I really like. In order for you to succeed, you have to fail. The reason I like this so much is because it's unbelievably true. This semester I'm taking an Entrepreneurship class and my teacher has told us that many times. We have to write our own business plan for an actual business we want to start. He said that in order to get an "A" in the class, you have to fail to succeed. The way I understood that was, you have to try your hardest even if you fail, and you will learn to succeed.
