The Got Side Hustle Show

And that makes it two shows in a row where I was lucky enough to chat with some folks from Chi-Town.  This week I visited with Claudia Miller and we knocked it out of the park on how to set yourself up for success when you are job hunting, changing careers, or just looking to improve your current job scenario.  From LinkedIn to resumes to automated candidate systems, today's podcast interview covered a lot of ground and I LOVED talking to this lady!

Claudia is a Career and Negotiation Strategist and she helps serious professionals secure dream jobs, with dream salaries, at their dream companies -- including fast-growing startups, rockstar midsize companies, and Fortune 500 and Tech Giants like Amazon, Google & Facebook. Some even received salary increases of up to $50,000. Business Insider selected her as one of the Top Most Innovate Career Coaches of 2020 and her work has been featured in Forbes, MSNBC, Yahoo! Finance as well as other major news outlets.

Something else fun about podcasting is when you can use it as an excuse to catch up with your old friends.  I mean, that’s what Zoom is for, right?

But seriously - getting together with Mark Martell from the University of Illinois-Chicago for a good 45 minute visit was one of the highlights of the month of December.  Mark and I met when we were both working for University Housing at UIC in 2000, and we’ve been great friends ever since.  Our interview covers a ton of ground through that 20 year relationship - what drew him to Higher Education, why does he stay, how did he manage to stay at the same institution for almost 20 years, and what was it like working on his PhD while working full time.  Oh, and why is Wonder Woman the shit, and who performs “Elephant Love Song Medley” the best at karaoke.  

Mark Martell is a 1.5 generation Filipino American who grew up in Miami, Florida. Mark has 20 years of Higher Ed Administration, including teaching experience, and he holds a PhD in educational policy studies. His research interests include race, gender, comics, education, and Asian American topics. Mark has a chapter in the recent publication Teaching to Close the Achievement Gap for Students of Color: Understanding the Impact of Factors Outside the Classroom (Routledge Press).

And don’t forget to mark your calendars for February 24th - a NEW version of the show is coming!!!

HEY:  are you looking to set up your first side hustle in 2021?  Take my FREE skills assessment to figure out where to start!

Welcome to my first Workshop Week!

Since the Elevate Your 8 Philosophy covers your workday, then I think it’s time we started talking about the main tool you need to get the job that aligns with your values and talents.

The Resume.

Many people know how to create one, but very few people actually know how to format a resume so it elevates your skills, talents, and career highlights.

I’ve been in the workforce for more than 30 years; and since switching to the resume format that I’m going to teach you in this series, I have NEVER had a failed job search.  And I’ve ALWAYS been invited to interview.  

The key to a solid, functional resume is completely understanding where you’ve been and how to represent what you can do.  Potential employers want to know how you can contribute to their organization - they DON’T want to look at a laundry list of your job titles.

For this final lesson, we are discussing Career Highlights and Action Verbs. Career Highlights are those "feathers in your cap" that help your resume stand out.  And then action verbs bring more credibility to your resume by speaking to exactly what you did in a particular program, task, or responsibility.  My favorite online reference is at The Muse.

Lesson Four - Rank, Post, Format

So let’s recap:  you reflected on all your previous positions and wrote down the tasks and day to day duties of each one.  That was exhausting, I know.  Next, you took those tasks and grouped them into themes, then turning those themes into various skill sets.  And then you listed the most relevant tasks under the skill sets.  

With today’s lesson, you are going to rank your skill sets accordingly so the most important ones are listed towards the top and format your document so it fits the position for which you’re applying.

That’s right - you may very well be tweaking this document from time to time in order to best fit the representative duties for that position.

Lesson Two - What Can You Do?

In Lesson One, we talked about doing a thorough excavating of your current resume, including but not limited to creating a week or so of “Time on Task” at your current job in order to identify all the various tasks that you have done in your current and previous jobs.  This can be a rather tedious exercise and I totally compliment you on completing this.  

After today’s lesson, you will be preparing to organize and synthesize all of these tasks into various themed groups that will lead to your skills and competencies.
