Great. I am so excited to be here everybody. Thank you for your time and kudos to you for taking the time to really think about your career because nobody else cares about it as much as you should. So I'm gonna go very quickly.Please grab a pen and paper. Let's go old school, take some notes, get some nuggets out of this a lot and write down my website and I've got a lot of free information to give you as well. So aim higher. I want all of us women particularly but women in tech is uh we're lacking confidence here folks and we need to aim high go big talk to senior executives and let me introduce myself there. I am instead of on video, but I'm passionate about helping you because as was just introduced, not only from through IBM tech companies, head of VP of worldwide marketing for digital photography, 12 years at Microsoft, but I left Microsoft eight years ago to do my work of compassion, which is to help you full time.

So I started by writing my book on Amazon called Cut the Crap. Get a job. This is the basics of my system and then I parlay that into a full online curriculum. So I'm an online course creator for you. Anywhere in the world 24 7, you can get the templates and tools to help you with every single step of the job search today. However, I'm going to introduce you to three phases. I love the law of threes. Remember that? Right? That down when you're interviewing and someone asks you, hey, do you, uh, do you prefer cats versus dogs? I want you to say three things dogs because they bark, they are happy and they sit on my lap, you know, and that's it. Stop talking. So we're going to talk about that law of threes, but I'm gonna give you three phases of your job search at the highest level ready aim, get hired. So the first step is to set your goal. How do you go hunting without knowing what kind of animal we're hunting for? Two is prepare your tools, prepare for prayer and then get in the hunt, apply a network and most of us are doing this backwards. We're spraying and praying our resume out there and hoping something happens and being frustrated. So step one step, set your job search goal. So research your goal, communicate your goal to people and what Dana, what do you mean by that? I'm Dana.

I talked to myself, uh, is how to set a goal. So picture a dart board and the center of it represents your next career move. It could be a lateral, but it could be a total career change. And I want you to focus on two things no more. What function do you want to be a program manager, marketing, sales, what, what kind of job do you want? And then in what industry and don't just say tech, you know, Boeing has tech, Nordstrom has tech. So really be clear on what industry and tech is both a job type, but that's even too vague. So be very clear and focused. OK. So here's an example and I want you after tonight is write down your short description and here is the format, I'm seeking a blank role in a size and then industry and location. This is it, then you stop talking. Don't tell them you want to leverage my background in blah, blah, blah. So write out your short goal today. If you can't do this, then go go back, join my course. But be sure you know how to do this. How do you hunt for what to say? And I have a window shopping exercise for you. So number two, prepare your tools. This is assuming you did a great job in number one, otherwise don't move forward now. And these go in order in order to prepare your tools, you need to know who your audience is.

Is it the hiring manager of a program manager? Is it the hiring manager of sales of, of engineering, you know, so you need to know your audience before you prepare. So now everyone thinks there's only one tool that's called resume itis. It's like any other disease. You think the holy grail is a resume. It's not, it has to be great. Yes, but there has to be other tools that communicate your message and you need to build your message. So it's resume, it's linkedin, it's a cover letter, it's your interview and this is still an aim in the middle section. So I want you interview ready, send your messages out about your relevant skills. So get organized. Everyone before you can prepare your tools, you need to have your computer files organized, erase all those noise around. You get into quiet places, use your calendar, build your field, build your road to success. OK. Fasten your seatbelts. Are you ready to redo your resume?

All of you start from zero. Why the world of job search has changed? Your resume needs to change? Don't just keep updating. The old one competition is fierce. Even though there are more jobs, there are also more applicants. That's what the news isn't telling you your resume.

Remember this triangle, draw a triangle down right now, the hiring manager, the recruiter and there's a robot that's called the applicant tracking system. Linkedin is also a robot. It runs by algorithms, right? So you need to have one document of master resume, especially on linkedin you can't change it and that needs to appeal to your audience. So you need to redo your resume to play the game and your new resume. There's a template in my course. I'm happy to provide that to you in my course. And that's notice how a resume on the left. It must have a summary section and then professional work experience, these words need to be used because that's what the robot uses to calibrate your resume against their job descriptions.

Does a side by side. Now look how linkedin follows the same order. So for those of you who ask, gee should I have education above personal work, professional work experience, when and out see linkedin's order because that should be identical and it should match word for word your resume to linkedin notice has how there's a top on your resume.

The summary that's called the about section in linkedin, there's an experience section same on linkedin and then all the rest flows. You have a little more, four more things to add to your linkedin profile, which we can go over another time, but you'd be really well set on linkedin, do your resume first and then pop it over to linkedin. Are you ready now to prep for interviews? Folks were still in aim? We haven't, we're not hunting in the market yet. Shame on you. If you're in, if you're, you're hunting for jobs, you're getting interviews and you're bombing them, right? You're nervous. You don't know what to say, you haven't prepared or you just prepared the night before. So at the beginning, I mentioned the law of 33 steps to the job search process practice from now on practice with your spouse, with your kids, with your dogs of saying three things when someone asks you a question or no more, no more than three and stop talking on video calls.

I wish you could see me. I'd be using my fingers like this dude here. Say one, you hold up your thumb, two, your index finger, three. So people visually can see that you have three distinct points. Otherwise it sounds like one long run on and the most important. Shut up. I say that kidding late. Stop talking. No one to pause after those three things don't go on and on which we do with nerves. Here's an example really fast. What are your strengths, folks? I do 90% of my candidates when I was hiring at Microsoft. I've hired thousands and seen many, many more interviewers and resumes. And why do people not know their answer to this before they walk in? It's like they're making it up in the interview. So think of your three top reasons why you're the best fit for their job. Don't throw out throughout things. Like if you're interviewing for a finance job and don't say I'm great at powerpoint, you know, it's just not relevant. Find three that they're looking for on their job description, you have them, you have these skills. So boast about the three.

Now look at the the sentence structure. There are three strengths I'd like to share with you today. So set it up, you say the word one time management and then a short sentence. What do you mean by time management? I complete projects ahead of time. You don't go into a story. These are not individual chapters that get three things. Each, this is a 12 analytics, great attention to detail accuracy, three customer service. I'm excellent. Listen, that's it. And then zip it. OK? And don't get caught up if they ask the same question in a different variety of flavor. Like what would coworkers say? It's the same three. Don't overthink your answers. You want to send key messages and stay on track now everyone, we love my company, my, all my peers, we love you to attend job and career fairs and they're online still. They all they will be I want you to to not only attend some but and they can be anywhere located, just practice but write this down because I'm giving you a free tool kit. It has scripts, it has steps to be awesome and it will change your world and your effectiveness at job fairs. So it's all lowercase tiny dot CC forward slash job fair, toolkit, write that down. I'm gonna move on tiny dot CC forward slash job fair. Toolkit. Got it.

Use it be better than everyone else. Now, we're ready to hunt third section. Getting hired. I do want you to customize your applications but, you know, there's too much emphasis on the online application process. It's only, this is the front door. When you apply online, you're gonna, you should only spend 5% of your energy and expect 5% possibility of even getting a phone call back. Actually, it's closer to zero than it is 5%. And you're gonna go through the robot and you're gonna get frustrated. Why did you get that rejection so fast? It's all automated. We want to do that. That's step one. I do want you to go through the front door knowing that your work just began for that job. You need to go through the back door. You need to try to find a recruiter, a hiring manager, a peer, total strangers and you're gonna learn how to do that on my, on my online course through linkedin and becoming a master at getting people to help you win interviews. That's your holy grail is counting the number of interviews you get and you're not gonna get many. If you are just applying online and waiting as you get to know me, Dana, you'll know my least favorite four letter word in life is wait, whenever I hear that I cringe, you should never be waiting. You take the action on every single job.

So I know, this 20 minutes of so much I'm out of time. But I want you to know that, uh, you know, the world and the internet is filled with should, you should have a resume that does this, you should interview like this. But we all get stuck because we don't know, we've never ridden this bike before. It's not taught in college or high school in any part of the world and it's all changed since the last time you job search. So I want you to kick your job search into high gear. It's not a full time job, but it takes a good dedication of time to just focus on the skills of job search. I know you're taking cert classes, you're learning your skills, but you also don't need to master this once and then the rest of your career, you'll have this course at your fingertips at any time because we update it. So I want to give you a special discount. I know we're all cash crunch right now. 50% off. I'm giving you this code just for you. And that's UC 50. And what is job search masterclass though? It's everything I just touched on a, a smidgen of what is in the course, but you get 24 7 lifetime access. It only takes 20 hours to be completely higher ready. That includes interview ready, a template for your resume, your cover letter linkedin, everything that, that networking.

Thank you, Dana. So many straightforward tips in there. I know people when they go home are probably taking notes. People are saying they love this in the chat because it's so important right to have really tangible tips in these presentations. And I know you went fast. Um, but we do have a couple more minutes. So let me ask you while I have you. Um, what do you think the biggest misconception is Dana, when it comes to job hunting your resume strategies? Because you talked about a few important things in here. I just want to make sure we call out what's the biggest misconception or biggest thing? People are getting wrong.

Thank you so much. People are getting wrong that, oh, it's a digital process. Only that if I apply to enough, I mean, I've had people apply to 200 jobs in two weeks. I'm certainly gonna hear back. And so this myth that this works, it's actually gotten worse because companies aren't getting back to you. They just don't have time. They're getting way too many applications. So networking is, I mean, you hear the, the trite word networking, I call it back. It's, but for job search, it's a science and there's a step by step how to, to make it so easy for you. It's through people that you will win interviews that lead to jobs. So that's the number one myth. The second one is what I touched on is that resumes mean everything and resumes are whoever invented them ought to be shot. Because think about a job description is laid out a certain way and what do we send in? Just a resume? It doesn't tell your story of why. So, always do a cover letter, always tell your story through people the networking, but um make your resume great, but don't rely on it. It's like a crutch and I want you to know that the combination of your resume and linkedin is makes a huge difference.

But you need to be a person online with total strangers to ask them for help getting you an interview and I teach you every step of the way you, you just follow the dots.

Yeah, absolutely. I think those are such, that's such an important call out and even I'm sure you've had this too in and the amount of people that reach out to you to connect on linkedin. So they've done the first step, right? Awesome. They're reaching out. But so many people don't put a message, right? First of all, there's no message with their linkedin request. They should definitely do that and you call that out. But how many of those people often reach out to you with no picture, right? So they haven't like completed the process. And I think so many of your take home notes today were so important around just doing all those things and actually going through with them.

Absolutely. The, the things I hinted at things in addition to the resume, you mentioned one, there must be a picture or you're not a person. The headline is right under Diana's name. He's a veteran. I helped get a job and notice he doesn't mention, yeah, he has army veteran, but he's using those important keywords of what your future audience wants to hear. So erase the default headline, your contact se needs to be filled in and you should get uh recommendations. It's further down, not on this screen but on linkedin, get at least two. Those are the four things to add. Once you populate your linkedin with your resume content, every word, every bullet.

Awesome. And I think we can round out on these great tips for those of you tuning in who might not be looking for a job yourselves. These are still amazing tips. Give them to your friends, your daughters, your, your family, whoever because tangible tips like this go a long way. Dana. Thank you so much for being with us here today at the Women Tech Global Conference.

It's my joy. Let's do more going forward together. Thank you.
