4 mistakes smart people avoid in a networking email

4 mistakes smart people avoid in a networking email4 mistakes smart people avoid in a networking emailWriting a networking email cana vulnerable, awkward process where theres an inherent power imbalance youre emailing someone, oftena stranger with no partieal investment in you, aboutsomething you want that they have.We know its important to get over our fears, because successful networking can result in valuable information and connections.Unfortunately, rejection - or worse, silence - is too often the result of a badly written networking email. Too many of us are hearing crickets to our emails due to easily fixable mistakes we make in our networking requests.The good news is the mistakes we make really are very easily fixable.As someone who has written bad, ramblingnetworking emails that still make me blush,Im going to teach you to succeed where I have failed by avoiding these four clear pitfalls.1. Asking pick someones brainWhile Id like to pick your brain is a popular casual ope ning, its one of the worst things you can say. Vaguely asking to pick someones brain puts the burden on the recipient to be your Oracle of Delphi about why youre contacting them. It also means youre treating them as someone youre going to take things from - their actual brainpower - without offering anything in return.Besides being unhelpful to both sender and recipient, the metaphor of asking to pick someones brain can sound vaguely menacing.Heres how to do it better Know what you want and be specific about why youre contacting this person. Do you want an informational interview, an email contact, career advice, or to become friends with this person? Say so. Your recipient will breathe a sigh of relief at being able to help - which most people would like to do - without being treated as a lab rat for your own career plans.2. Stressing the fact that youre a strangerHumans are alike on some level, were a little wary of strangers. People who are successful with large social networ ks are even more likely to depend on referrals or acquaintances to meet more people their dance cards are already full.Thats why theres no benefit, and no charm, in pointing out that they dont know you from Adam. Even if this person has no reason to remember your existence, dont discount yourself by saying, you may leid remember me butYes, you may be strangers, but why remind the recipient that youre basically strangers with no reason to talk to each other. As The Musenotes, theres no requirement that you lead with the fact that its been a while. If your note is thoughtful and brief, thats generally all you need.Instead, find something you may have in common to talk about, even if thats just how much you admire the recipients work. People love talking about themselves. Its okay to open a networking email with sincere praise.If youd like to find more things to talk about in these emails, you can do as my most organized friend did in his unemployment. This friend of mine kept an Excel spreadsheet of networking interactions he made during his job hunt, complete with time stamps and a memorable anecdote the interaction produced. That way, when he followed up with a networking email weeks or months later, he could remind the recipient how, say, they both grew up in Lake Forest, Illinois and make the email more personal.Its a smart way to turn a potentially formal email into a more familiar, human interaction Hey there, we met at last years conference and talked about us both growing up near Chicago Any common festverzinsliches wertpapier will go a long way.3. Baring your soul and your lifes story in an emailThe opposite of formality is oversharing, trying to force intimacy by adding unnecessary facts about our entire lives.It may be tempting tomake this stranger your friend by filling them in on your multi-paragraph lifes story, but if you do that before you know someone - read before they have any reason to care about you - then this attempt at personalizing net working emails will likely backfire.The antidote Be concise. The recipient should be able to quickly scan your email to figure out why youre contacting them.Three short paragraphs at most are a good introduction until the person replies or decides to invest some time in you.People are sifting through endless emails, and if you want yours to be remembered, it needs to be direct. Corporate email users received about 84 emails a day on average in 2015. Save swapping in-depth career stories for if you actually meet up in person.4. A boring, unclearsubject lineThe subject line is the first thing a recipient will read, so you need to be good at grabbing their attention with it.Definitely do not leave the subject line blank - nothing good ever came from a blank subject line - but also dont make it a vague, short bleat like mentoring?Mailchimps researchers found that emails with description won out over trendy lines likesizzling summer bargains that dont have a specific hook or clearly de fine what the email is promoting.Good networking emails like salesperson seeking career advice or reporter with contact request clearly state what the emails going to be about.Pro tip you should use your subject line as your guide on what to include in the email. If its not related to your specific request, leave it out.And if you dont get a response right away, be patient and persistent. People are understandably very busy and a networking email is likely not at the top of their priorities. That being said, its appropriate to follow up if you havent heard anything in a week or two.And the one thing you should do always, always say thank you, afterward if the person helps you- or even if they dont, but make the time to give you some thoughts. It may sound obvious to thank someone, but a surprising number of people forget - and lose a relationship that would have made them more successful. Being nice goes a long way.

Learn From Hollywood Success Stories - The Muse

Learn From Hollywood Success Stories - The MuseLearn From Hollywood Success Stories Hollywood is elendoriously difficult to break into- and its even more difficult to claw your way to the top. When I started working in the business, I saw that success wasnt just about talent and hard work (though tzu siche is plenty of that). The more I studied, the more I realized that the people at the very top of the game approached it with a different strategy than everyone else. Here are five strategies top Hollywood power players used to build a name for themselves that will work no matter what industry youre in. 1. Take (the Right) RisksMake small bets with big risks.John Landgraf, president of FX NetworkLandgraf found early success as a network executive at NBC (think Friends, ER, The West Wing), but its during his tenure at FX that hes established his legacy. If you make one show that works, you might have gotten lucky, but we now have half a dozen shows that are working, he said in an inter view with the New York Times. And weve done it by making small bets with big risks. Landgraf offered creatives something rare- full creative control- in exchange for working with miniscule budgets. The result? Small bets that became big hits like Louie, Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Archer. Which in turn led to shows like Justified, Sons of Anarchy, and The Americans. You have opportunities to make small bets with big risks every day. One example? Take on an experimental project on your days off to solve a company problem. Sure, if it doesnt work, youve dedicated a few hours to your job rather than Netflix, but it didnt cost you anything- and if it does work, it could change your professional trajectory. 2. Dont Be All BusinessEvery day we have to have a couple laughs And no assholes allowed. Gail Berman, founder of The Jackal GroupMany things distinguish Berman as not-your-typical Hollywood power player She was the first and only woman to hold the highest positions at a fil m studio (Paramount) and television network (Fox). Many credit her with Fox Broadcasting ascending from fourth to first place with shows like American Idol, 24, and Arrested Development. But its Bermans leadership style that most separates her from other top industry executives. It was common to see her walking down the hall with no shoes on with a megaphone calling out to everyone, Come on, whats going on out here? We should be celebrating this says Jennifer Salke, now NBCs president. She was just great about rallying the troops and getting people motivated and excited to work for her. As a leader, your attitude is contagious You have the capacity to inspire the people around you with your enthusiasm or optimism. So, if your company culture has been a little lackluster, decide to lead by example- celebrating your employees successes and bringing positivity and teamwork back to the workplace.3. Leaders Arent Born, Theyre MadeLeadership is learned.Shonda Rhimes, creator of Greys Anat omy and ScandalWhen Rhimes began writing Greys Anatomy, she was asked to work with a veteran show runner. Rhimes saw herself as shy and found working with others stressful. But after penning four hit series, (including Private Practice, Scandal, and How to Get Away With Murder), fending off the networks notes (she stopped taking them), and weathering numerous cast kerfuffles, Rhimes found her groove as a leader. Rhimes explains it as a trait she learned how to be a boss and a leader versus somebody who was like, Holy crap, I get to write a show every week.Part of being powerful is believing in yourself and your abilities. Even if youre naturally shy and you dont envision yourself guiding your company through a five-minute conversation (let alone bringing in millions of television viewers through four different television shows), remember that even truly impressive people feel nervous. Even if you dont feel like a leader, leadership is a skill, and skills can be learned and improved. 4. Do the Right ThingMind your reputation. Gary Lucchesi, president of Lakeshore EntertainmentLucchesi was the son of a bread truck driver and the first in his family to go to college. After hearing Hollywood mogul David Geffen speak at a class at UCLA, Lucchesi asked how he could get into the entertainment industry.Geffen told him, Go to William Morris Agency, start in the mailroom, and work your way up. And thats precisely what Lucchesi did. The most important thing Stan Kamen- Lucchesis mentor- passed on was to mind your reputation, Lucchesi says in The Mail Room Hollywood History From the Bottom Up. I remember him arguing with someone on the phone and saying, Ill put my reputation up against yours any day. Ive used it a couple times myself. If you actually have a good reputation, its a real winner.You are in control of your reputation in your career (and life). Technical skills matter, of course, but so does being known as loyal, thoughtful, reliable, and honest. When you say y oure going to send that email, or arrive on time, make sure you do. Moreover, dont participate (or just look the other way) when something you know is wrong is going on in your office. Even if you werent formally involved, working for a company that ends up embroiled in scandal isnt something you want on your resume. 5. Never Stay StillIm not good at being static. I have to be climbing a mountain. Michael Ovitz, former head of CAAThe rise of Creative Artists Agency is legendary (they rented chairs they worked on card tables partners wives took turns being the receptionist), as is the rise of Michael Ovitz, its de facto head. Ovitz became the undisputed most powerful man in Hollywood in the 90s, using the agencys star power to build leverage in other businesses. He orchestrated Matsushitas purchase of MCA and Sonys acquisition of Columbia. He got into business with Coca-Cola, having CAA work as its advertising agency, according to an interview with The New York Times. In other words, he wasnt satisfied with the status quo. Ovitz worked hard. He was prepared. He was aggressive. Diligent. Organized. Detailed. He saw a big picture and was a bigger thinker than I had ever thought an agent would be, said David Doc OConnor, managing partner at CAA. How can you think big in your own career? Once a week, book out an hour of your time and shut off the phone, email, and Twitter. Instead, imagine the big picture Where is your company going? Where is your industry going? What steps can you start taking now to position yourself for success in the future? What mountains might you like to climb? Its not easy to become a major player in Hollywood, but it is possible. And whatever industry youre hoping to make a name for yourself in, you can use the advice above to move up the ladder.Photo courtesy of Songquan Deng / Shutterstock.

Lin-Manuel Miranda to Penns Class of 16 Immigrants get the job done

Lin-Manuel Miranda to Penns Class of 16 Immigrants get the job doneLin-Manuel Miranda to Penns Class of 16 Immigrants get the job doneIts graduation season, and we zu siche at Ladders have decided to take a look back and showcase some past commencement addresses that stand the test of time. Below is the full transcript of Lin-Manuel Mirandas commencement address toUniversity of Pennsylvanias Class of 2016 Thank you President Gutmann, MC Provost, Board of Trustees, Faculty, Family, Mister Vice President, Undergrads of the four Penn Schools of Hufflepuff, Slytzu sichin, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, and dear exhausted, exhilarated, terrified graduates of the Class of 2016.I begin with an apology.I am the writer of Hamilton An American Musical. Every word in the show- and there are over 22,000 words in the show- were chosen and put in a really specific order by me. So I am painfully aware that neither Philly nor the great state of Pennsylvania is mentioned in Hamilton, with the exception o f onecouplet in the song Hurricane, where Hamilton singsI wrote my way out of HellI wrote my way to Revolution,I was louder than the crack in The Bell.Thats it One blink and you miss it, the Liberty Bell referenceItscommencement seasonFollow LaddersCommencement Addresses magazine on Flipboardto watch and read all of the most inspiring speeches from this year and years past.I am also painfully aware that this Commencement address is being live-streamed and disseminated all over the world instantly. In fact, painfully aware is pretty much my default state. Oh yeah, thats Lin, hespainfully aware.So, with the eyes of the world and history on us all, Id like to correct the record and point out that a few parts in Hamilton An American Musical actually took place in Pennsylvania.The Battle of Monmouth, wherein General Charles Lee, in our show, Sed the Bed and retreated against Washingtons orders. According to Lafayette, this was the only time he ever heard George Washington curse out loud. Thats right, the father of our country dropped his choicest profanity and F-bombs in Pennsylvania.The Constitutional Convention, wherein alexanderplatzander Hamilton spoke extemporaneously for six hours in what is surely the most un-Tweet-able freestyle of all time, happened right here in Philly.In fact, Alexander Hamilton lived at 79 South 3rd Street when he began his extramarital affair with Maria Reynolds, creating the time-honored precedent of political sex scandals and mea culpa. You guys, The Good Wife wouldnt even exist if Hamilton hadnt gotten the tanzfest rolling on this dubious American tradition, right on South 3rd street, right near the Cos.Finally, I need to apologize on behalf of the historical Alexander Hamilton, because if he hadnt sat down to dinner with James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, desperate for support for his financial plan, Philadelphia might well still be the US Capitol.Hamilton traded Philly away in the most significant backroom verstndigung im strafve rfahren in American history. As the guy who plays Hamilton every night, let me get into character for a moment and say, My bad, Philadelphia. Thank you.But take the long view, Motown Philly. Who really won that deal in the end? Look at DC its synonymous with institutional dysfunction, partisan infighting and political gridlock. You are known as the birthplace of Louisa May Alcott, Rocky Balboa, Boyz II Men, Betsy Ross, Will Smith, Isaac Asimov, Tina Fey, cheesesteaks, and you can have scrapple, soft pretzels and Wawa hoagies whenever you want. You win, Philly. You win every time. Water ice.The simple truth is this Every story you choose to tell, by necessity, omits others from the larger narrative. One could write five totally different musicals from Hamiltons eventful, singular American life, without ever overlapping incidents. For every detail I chose to dramatize, there are ten I left out. I include King George at the expense of Ben Franklin. I dramatize Angelica Schuylers intell igence and heart at the expense of Benedict Arnolds betrayal. James Madison and Hamilton were friends and political allies, but their personal and political fallout occurs right on our act break, during intermission. My goal is to give you as much as an evening of musical entertainment can provide, and have you on your way home slightly before Les Mis lets out next door.This act of choosing- the stories we tell versus the stories we leave out- will reverberate across the rest of your life. Dont believe me? Think about how you celebrated this Senior Week, and contrast that with the version you shared with the parents and grandparents sitting behind you.Penn, dont front. Youre a Playboy magazine ranked Party School- you know you did things this week that youre never mentioning again. I know what you did this summerIm going to tell you a story from my twenties today- a story Ive never told in public before. Ill tell you two stories actually. Its my hope that itll be of use to you as yo u stare down the quarter life marker.I am 20 years old, finishing my sophomore year at Wesleyan, and my girlfriend of four and a half years is home from her semester abroad. I cannot wait to see her again- she is my first love. I dread seeing her again- Ive grown into my life without her. In her absence, with time and angst to spare, I have developed the first draft of my first full-length musical, an 80-minute one-act called In the Heights. I have also developed a blinding pain in my right shoulder, which I cant seem to stop cracking. My girlfriend comes home. I am so happy to see her, even as my shoulder worsens. My mother takes me to a back specialist, ranked in New York magazine, so you know hes good.He examines me, looks me dead in the eyes, and says, Theres nothing wrong with your back. There will be if you keep cracking it, but what you have is a nervous tic. Is there anything in your life that is causing you stress? I burst into tears, in his office. He looks at me for a lon g time, as Im crying, and get this- youll appreciate this, Rene- he tells me the story of Giuseppe vereinte dienstleistungsgewerkschaft. A 19th century Italian composer of some note, who, in the space of a few short years, lost his wife and two young children to disease. He tells me that Verdis greatest works- Rigoletto, La Traviata- came not before, but after this season of Job, the darkest moments of his life. He looks me in the eyes and tells me, Youre trying to avoid going through pain, or causing pain. Im here to tell you that youll have to survive it if you want to be any kind of artist.I break up with my girlfriend that night.I spend the summer in therapy. I tell a lot of stories Ive never told before.My father asks my mother, What the hell kind of back doctorVerdi? Really?I stop cracking my shoulder.The story I had been telling myself- happy guy in a long-distance relationship with his high school sweetheart- was being physically rejected by my body via my shoulder. Id never broken up with anyone before- in my head, I was a good guy, and good guys dont break up with their significant others when one of them goes off to study abroad. I was trying to fit my life into a romantic narrative that was increasingly at odds with how I really felt. In retrospect, we both were.What about her story? Well, its not mine to tell, but I can share this much she began dating one of her good friends the following year of college. Fast-forward to present day She is happily married to that same good friend, with two beautiful kids. In her story, I am not the angsty, shoulder-cracking tortured artist. Im the obstacle in the way of the real love story. For you Office fans Theyre Jim and Pam, and Im Roy.Story 2 I am out of college, I am 23 years old, and Tommy Kail and I are meeting with a veteran theater producer. To pay rent I am a professional substitute teacher at my old high school. Tommy is Audra McDonalds assistant. Tommy is directing In the Heights, and with his geniu s brain in my corner, my 80-minute one-act is now two acts. This big deal theater producer has seen a reading we put on in the basement of The Drama Book Shop in mid-Manhattan, and he is giving us his thoughts. We hang on his every word, this is a big deal theater producer, and we are kids, desperate to get our show on. We are discussing the character of Nina Rosario, home from her first year at Stanford, the first in her family to go to college.The big deal theater producer saysNow I know in your version Ninas coming home with a secret from her parents shes lost her scholarship. The song is great, the actress is great. What Im bumping up against, fellas, is that this doesnt feel high stakes enough. Scholarship? Big deal. What if shes pregnant? What if her boyfriend at school hit her? What if she got caught with drugs? It doesnt have to be any of those things, youre the writer- but do you see what Im getting at guys, a way to ramp up the stakes of your story?I resist the urge to cra ck my shoulder.We get through the meeting and Tommy and I, again alone, look at each other. He knows what Im going to say before I say it.Pregnant- I know.Nina on drugs- I was there.But he wants to put our show up.Tommy looks at me.Thats not the story you want to tell and thats not the show I want to direct. There are ways to raise the stakes that are not that. Well just keep working.If I could get in a time machine and watch any point in my life, it would be this moment. The moment where Tommy Kail looked at uncertain, frazzled me, desperate for a production and a life in this business, tempted, and said no for us. I keep subbing, he continues working for Audra, we keep working on In the Heights for five years until we find the right producers in Jill Furman and Kevin McCollum and Jeffrey Seller. Until Philly native Quiara Hudes becomes my co-writer and reframes our show around a community instead of a love triangle. Until Alex Lacamoire and Bill Sherman take my songs and made th em come to life through their orchestrations. It will be another five years before Heights reaches Broadway, exactly as we intended it.And then the good part Ninas story that we fought to tell, keeps coming back around in my life. It comes around in letters, or in the countless young men and women who find me on the subway or on college campuses and take my hand and say, You dont understand. I was the first in my family to go to college, when I felt out of place like I was drowning I listened to Breathe, Ninas song, and it got me through. And I think to myself as these strangers tell me their Nina stories, I do understand. And that sounds pretty high stakes to me.I know that many of you made miracles happen to get to this day. I know that parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles and family behind you made miracles happen to be here. I know because my family made miracles happen for me to be standing here talking to you, telling stories.Your stories are essential. Dont believe m e?In a year when politicians traffic in anti-immigrant rhetoric, there is also a Broadway musical reminding us that a broke, orphan immigrant from the West Indies built our financial system. A story that reminds us that since the beginning of the great unfinished symphony that is our American experiment, time and time again, immigrants get the job done.My dear, terrified graduates- you are about to enter the most uncertain and thrilling period of your lives.The stories you are about to live are the ones you will be telling your children and grandchildren and therapists.They are the temp gigs and internships before you find your passion.They are the cities you live in before the opportunity of a lifetime pops up halfway across the world.They are the relationships in which you hang on for dear life even as your shoulder cracks in protest.They are the times you say no to the good opportunities so you can say yes to the best opportunities.They are what Verdi survived to bring us La Trav iata.They are the stories in which you figure out who you are.There will be moments you remember and whole years you forget.There will be times when you are Roy and times when you are Jim and Pam.There will be blind alleys and one-night wonders and soul-crushing jobs and wake-up calls and crises of confidence and moments of transcendence when you are walking down the street and someone will thank you for telling your story because it resonated with their own.I feel so honored to be a detail, a minor character in the story of your graduation day.I feel so honored to bear witness to the beginning of your next chapter.Im painfully aware of whats at stake.I cant wait to see how it turns out.Thank you and congratulations to the Class of 2016.

Questions to Ask a Recruiter

Questions to Ask a RecruiterQuestions to Ask a RecruiterRecruiters provide vital links between employers and prospective workers. Some job candidates seek out their services directly. Others discover after submitting an application that the hunt is being conducted by a recruiter on behalf of a company. Dont be surprised if you even encounter a recruiter when youre not looking for a job- some make cold calls to people theyve identified as a good possible fit for an open lage.Posing thoughtful questions to recruiters helps candidates truly get a handle on what certain employment opportunities are all about. But what should you ask?Here are some questions to ask a recruiter that can help you get the most out of your conversationCan you tell me more about the job?Recruiters can provide greater detail than what you may have already learned through a job posting, network connection, or website, so encourage them to reveal everything they know.After youve established some basics, probe more directly into the nature of the specific position and the culture of the employer. Youll gain insight about daily life and company values, which can be critical when youre trying to decide whether the opportunity is worth pursuing.Its good when candidates ask relevant questions about the inner workings of the role, not just about information they can find online, says Matt Cholerton, philanthropisch resources leader and founder of Hito Labs. He recommends asking questions such asWhat, specifically, are some projects Ill work on when I start?If Im successful, what will I have done in six months? In one year?Who will I work with in this role?Can you tell me what is unique about this companys culture?How many females, or people of diversity, are on the executive team? How about in the department in which Ill be working?Why did the last person in this job leave?Are you coming into a newly created role? Did your predecessor get a promotion? Was someone fired? Knowing the situation you m ight be walking into can be telling.How long has the job been open?The recruiters answer can be a red flag. A position thats been open for quite some time may signal that other candidates found reason to pass it up, and maybe you should be on guard. Or it might mean youll be dealing with a particularly fussy or indecisive hiring manager. If the job just opened, expect the hiring process to take some time since the employer likely will be looking at a few candidates before getting serious about offers.When a Recruiter Makes Unsolicited ContactHearing from a recruiter when you arent actively job hunting can take you by surprise and may make you leery. However, especially in this age of LinkedIn, recruiters have plenty of ways to learn about and connect with people who appear promising. Get some basic information from the get-go such asWhere did you obtain my name and contact information?What is the name of your firm, and where is it located?What other roles have you filled recently?Wh ere is the job itself located, and does it offer flexible arrangements? (No sense continuing on if youre not willing to relocate and theyre not interested in telecommuters.)If you decide the opportunity might be worth further investigation, start tailoring questions more directly to the actual position. Pose the questions mentioned earlier as you see applicable. Cholerton also suggests askingWhy do you think Im a good fit for this role?What has been lacking in candidates so far?What is the salary the company said it can pay for this role?And be koranvers to get the persons full name, title, and contact info. After you perform your own research on both the recruiter and the prospective employer, youre bound to have many more questionsKnow someone looking for a job? Refer a friend to with this link- youll get a month free service and theyll get 30% off

Jobs Prospects for Today#8217;s Graduates

Jobs Prospects for Today8217s Graduates For a college graduate, career planningas involved as it can beis the easy part of finding the ideal job. Finding a job after graduation is becoming more challenging as the economy struggles to rebound. Current college graduates have to complete with the previous graduates, as well as displaced or furloughed employees with years of experience under their belts. For many college graduates the anxiety of finding a job out of college is coupled with the burden of student loans and watching many of their relatives lose their job or homes as a result of the recession. Companies that are implementing salary and hiring freezes further compound the problem. According to a report issued by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), an independent Washington, DC think tank that studies economic trends, the Class of 2011 is facing the worse job market on record. Unemploym ent among recent graduates rose to 9.6 percent in April 2011 from 5.4 percent in December 2007. Despite these dismal figures, there are indication that things are slowly improving for the better on the employment front. Employers report a significant increase in their spring hiring projections since 2007, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Corporate recruiters are slowly returning to college campus in search of candidates.For many graduates, career goals may have to be modified or temporarily put on the back burner in order to find gainful employment. Another sobering reality in todays tough job market is more companies offering unpaid internships as a tryout for permanent positions, which is good for building work experience, but bad when you have thousands in student loans to pay back. According to the EPI report, more than half state college students had an average of $20,467 in student loan debt as of 2009. Sixty-five percent of private school gradu ates had an average of $26,728 in student loan debt.It may seem that having a college degree isnt worth it, but it still gives you a major advantage over someone who doesnt have one. Unemployment for persons without a degree is more than twice as high than for college graduates. After you graduate, career goals may change, but a few measures may increase your chances of finding the job you want. Volunteer or intern at a company you would like to work at. Social networking sites can be a very effective tool. Establish and cultivate an online presence that showcases you and your skills and talents. Take classes to learn new skills. Consider other jobs in your field of interest or other fields altogether. Lastly, dont get discouraged in your job search.
