Ways to Crush Your Intro Call With a RecruiterWays to Crush Your Intro Call With a RecruiterYou have officially caught the attention of a recruiter because of a referral or your LinkedIn profile is just that amazing. Congratulations to you Now, it is time to set up an intro callMore than likely, you will be invited to a phone interview or Skype intro call with the rolle who found you. So, wowing them is going to be important You want to crush this call and here are some ways to do it.1. Demonstrate quickly that you cover the basicsRecruiters are not really looking to find out the deepest details of your skills. More so, they want to see if you meet the basic requirements for the job or not. With that in mind, be koranvers that you study the job description before speaking with the recruiter to make sure it is aligned with what you want to do or can do. Quickly touch on your strengths in the call and cover the basics required for the job.Note If you cannot do the job, touch on your st rengths and then quickly be honest that you do not see this is a job for you. Sometimes, saying no does more to show you are a professional than agreeing to a job you will ultimately fail in. 2. Show you are truly interested (when you are truly interested)Recruiters love candidates who are enthusiastic, strong matches for a job they are looking to fill. Your confidence in your abilities gives them the confidence to refer you. If you are a skills match and give off the impression you do not believe in those skills, the recruiter will be less than impressed and not feel confident in referring you.Ultimately, recruiters want to feel confident that once you are passed through to the next stage of the process, you will not be a waste of time. They want to believe you will be eager to learn more about the job and interview well enough to get the offer.3. Show you are a culture fitCompanies hire job candidates based on three thingsCan you do the job?Are you likable?Are you a good culture f it?You have to show early on that you are a strong culture fit. If you are going to talk about a company that you know very little about, it is time to do the research into the companys culture, online presence, and brand personality.Then, throughout the call make it very clear that you are aware of the company culture and why you would be a good fit. There is so much emphasis today on the fitting company culture that this deserves to be talked about at the beginning of the call.4. Understand the recruiters role and stake in the processIf you understand the role of the recruiter in the hiring process, you will likely be able to have a better call with the recruiter. Understanding that recruiters are compensated either entirely or partially based on their ability to fill open positions will help you understand a strategy for communicating with the recruiter.If you understand that they want you to win because its a win for them, you will have an easier time being open, honest, and dir ect. They want you to crush the intro call because if you do, and then win the job, they win. Then, the recruiter can go on to make more money. And they can do it quickly.So, never be afraid to ask for the recruiters input on how you can put your best foot forward. Clear up any doubts you may have and move on to the job interview. Again, this person wants to send you through to the hiring manager. Make it easy for the recruiter to do it

5 overrated email phrases youve probably used before (and what to say instead)

5 overrated email stichworts youve probably used before (and what to say instead)5 overrated email phrases youve probably used before (and what to say instead)Whens the last time you asked someone in an email if you could zupflmmel their brain? Weve all done it at one point or aleidher, whether we were students eager to meet with potential internship supervisors or just starting out in our careers and trying to impress our bosses. This phrase, like a handful of others, are commonly used, but theyre overrated and often evoke a negative reaction from the email recipient. Here are five phrases you should banish from your email vocabulary ASAP along with helpful things to say instead.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more1. Id love to pick your brainIn translation? Id love for you to give me information on something without anything in return, and Im going to ask in a vague way that hopef ully sounds like Im not asking anything. Though students or entry-level career peopledogenuinely need help, its important to remember that the person whose brain youd like to pick (now that were saying it multiple times, the phrase sounds creepy anyway) is really busy and doesnt have time to play coy if you need something. If youre going to ask someone for help, be straightforward and just ask. Be more direct and pointed about what youd like to learn from this person. Instead, maybe say, Im sure youre up to your ears in work, but if youre free in the near future, Id like to sit down and get your perspective on our business model.2. Hey there,Unless you work on a small, close-knit kollektiv or you personally know the person youre emailing, never start an email with - or write in the subject line - any vague greeting like Hey there, or Hey Its the professional protocol to use the recipients name so that you dont sound like a salesperson sending out a mass email and that you show tha t you have a sense of respect for the person youre addressing.3. I thought Id reach out becauseThis phrase is fairly harmless because youre stating your intent behind contacting the email recipient. The issue, though, is that the phrase isweak. I thought sounds like youre actually not sure that you should be reaching out or asking the question youre about to ask. Also, depending on the recipient, this person could have just a few seconds to look at your email. Any extra words that get in the way of the emails true purpose are going to make it difficult for the recipient to quickly find your question or update. Instead, try something clear and simple along the lines of Id like to set aside 30 minutes next week to talk about this project.4. To whom it may concern,Similar to the Hey discussion, you want to address your recipient directlyevery time. If youre emailing an address that looks something like jobscompanyname.com, you probably feel like you dont have much of a choice outside o f keeping it vague - and that would likely be true if we were talking about 20 years ago when LinkedIn and other social media resources werent available. If youre applying for a job or trying to reach a company via a vague email address, take a brief look at the companys LinkedIn page and do a search for the name of the department head or take your best guess at who the point of contact could be. Even if you address the wrong person in the email, at least you addressed someone relevant who leise works at the company. Thats better than taking no initiative and going with Hey to whoevers reading this.5. See belowWhen youre emailing attachments, visuals or anything else you want your recipient to see, dont bail out on explaining what they should pay attention to and why they should pay attention to it. Simply plotting a screenshot of a problematic webpage and saying See below conveys that you arent going to put inanyeffort to give context for what your recipients are seeing. And email laziness isnt a good look on a professional. So commit to the email and provide a brief but clear explanation of what you need them to understand by the end of your message..bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-group-1012255-lyDBLV9 width 900pxheight 550px
