Our 10th podcast of 2017 ends our year with a bang. This is the essence of what we do and preach day in and day out. If you are interested in a career in tech or ways to continue growing your career then you need to listen to what Alysse has to say. Her book, The Recruiting Snitch has helped countless people navigate the terrain of the professional recruiter. In fact it is required reading for all students in the UCF Business Program. She currently serves as the Sr. Recruiter at The Experience Engine and is visible throughout our Central Florida Tech community. She will soon be hosting a series of resume workshops and is also working on the second edition of The Recruiting Snitch which is expected by the end of 2018. It's always refreshing for me to sit down with another Career expert and compare notes. In this episode we discuss topics ranging from resumes, following up, staying in touch and how to grab the attention of a recruiter through social media and meet ups. We share stories of the do's and don'ts of a job search and she even schools me on the legalities of corporate job posting. If you listened to our podcast with Sr. EA Recruiter Alan Ashby you will start to see trends in common with recruiters and hiring managers. If you are not paying attention you are doing yourself a disservice. As 2017 comes to a close I want to wish you all a Happy Holiday and say thank you for all of your support throughout the past year. We have a lot to accomplish in 2018. Our Central Florida Gaming and Tech communities continue to grow and I hope to be able to continue to provide the conduit for all, whether your are looking to advance your career, sourcing for open positions at your company or looking to hire a team of developers for your media project perhaps I can help. You know where to find me.

Episode 10 - Alysse Metzler Coe - "The Recruiting Snitch"

Insider

Alysse Metzler’s career evolved to not only finding the best talent in the industry but also helping America get back to work. Her life’s mission is to help people of all ages and backgrounds find their dream job. She’s taken all of the lessons she’s learned in her 12 years of recruiting and wrote, The Recruiting Snitch, Recruiting Secrets to Help Land Your Dream Job. Alysse believes by understanding what a recruiter thinks, an applicant can achieve better results from their interviews and their job search. Show notes at http://hellotechpros.com/alysse-metzler-people/ Key Takeaways  While most people are in their current job, they don't think about brand or networking. When you're working, that's the best time to make connections and get to know people when you don't need but but genuinely want to get to know them. You have to know people to find the positions that aren't publicly posted. Being shy is not an excuse, you are losing a lot of opportunities. There is no such thing as a permanent job. Every company in every industry has some level of volatility. Keep your LinkedIn profile updated at least yearly. It's not about "collecting" people into your social network, it's about connecting with them as people. At a networking event, try to make one solid new relationship. People want to know "how can this person help me?" It's not about what people can do for you, it's about what you can do for others. Your personal brand is not just your skill set or your presence on social media. It's about building a reputation and being a subject matter expert. It's how people perceive you. Good candidates are connected. They are looking at new tech, going to meetup groups and being part of the community. There are two kinds of job candidates.  Active candidates are actively looking for a job. They need a new job right away and have less negotiating power. The longer you are unemployed, the less negotiating power you have. Passive candidates are happily employed and have a powerful personal brand. Recruiters are knocking at their door and making great offers to entice them.   The best time to look for a job is when you have a job.  You should be having career conversations with your manager annually during performance reviews.  An engineer generally bumps up in job title every 2 years. The director-to-VP track will be longer, in the timeframe of 5-8 years. Proactively have the conversation with your manager if they aren't bringing it up.   Closed mouths dont get fed. Network, network, network. Connect with people and get out of your comfort zone.
