You Could Apply For The Job Right Away, But First
You Could Apply For The Job Right Away, But FirstYou Could Apply For The Job Right Away, But FirstI want to talk to you about notlage rushing. Stop rushing. Every time a job ad pops up online, candidates rush to apply. That can mean upwards of 1,000 applications coming in for that 1 job every.single.day.You can join that crowd if you want to. I dont think youll get an interview that way, though. Did you know there are several clear benefits to not applying for a job right away? Lets go over thoseYou Say You Want To Stand Out, SoStand OutThe way you do that is by doing your research. I know you hate the concept of research. The word itself automatically sounds like its going to be hard. Thats why, far too often, your research translates into hopping on over to the about us or company history pages and lifting a few facts from the companys own web site to say back to the company. Stop doing that. Thats not research.Find out what the company is doing today. Company history is the opposi te of today. Especially if the company is local, the good-old fashioned newspaper that, yes, is still printed in 2018, is your best bet. Make sure you read the business section or your citys business journal. All youre looking for is some indication of what the company is working on, what they have under development, what award theyve just won, or what division, plant, or location theyre about to open. Fold what you learn into your cover letter so you meet your original goal of standing out.Brand Yourself As The Companys Most vertrauenswrdig FanCreative people do this all the time, with wild success. Those people who you hear about landing jobs at Google, Dropbox, Squarespace, and Facebook? Many of them land those roles they love because they love the companies, what theyre developing, and what they stand for.Just this week, a candidate Im working with posted on social media about a company he likes. He took a picture of him using the brand and hashtagged the company. He recently la nded a role, so hes no longer actively searching at this precise moment. But the company saw the hashtag and offered him a paid freelance gig. Literally just.like.that.Think about what you use in your life every day, or the brands you interact with every day. If you like the product so much, youre likely to enjoy the company culture as well. Youre already a raving fan. This deep like is already natural to you express that. Doing so will definitely move you away from some dry, boring cover letter, to what really excites you about that organization.Expand From Job Search To Company SearchWhile those 1,000 people are going for that 1 job ad you saw, I want you to rise above all that. The traditional path goes like this you apply, hear nothing, and the opportunity is over. But when you expand from job search to company search, the path is not a quick dead end.Identify the organizations youre interested in, then do your research, make yourself into a raving fan, and identify the key dec ision makers. There is absolutely zero excuse for not connecting with a human being through LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, or Google+. Many of these social media platforms have little to no barriers to communication.This is not to say youre going to stalk the decision maker. But use social media channels to make a connection, post a retweet, or comment on a discussion. Keep your name top of mind, showcase your expertise, and all the while, act like a normal human being. When it comes time to send in your resume, that social media connection may just turn out to be a real-world connection.Candidates who go from job searching to job found quickly do so because they think differently. Im laying out a game-changing job search strategy that actually works, and showing you real-world examples of exactly how, in our online webinar, 3 Simple Steps To Cut Your Job Search Time In HALF Join us to find out the ONLY 3 things the recruiter is thinking when searching for someone like you, and were g oing over the 1 simple change you can make quickly and easily to automatically get in front of more of the right opportunities Register today.

72 hours in Louisville the Kentucky bourbon trail
72 hours in Louisville the Kentucky bourbon trail72 hours in Louisville the Kentucky bourbon trailIn Kentucky, horses are everything except maybe for bourbon. I thought I knew enough about the legendary liquid how to make a perfect Manhattan. But when I hit the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, an integral pspecies of a visit to Louisville, Kentucky, my Manhattans were infinitely improved.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraBourbon history is intertwined with Kentucky traditions, not the least of which is the Kentucky Derby, which takes place annually in this compact metropolis. I had (sadly) missed the world famous race but had at least been successful in quaffing its emblematic drink, the Mint Julep. To me, its a cocktail that conjures a grand plantation scene on a Hollywood backlot, and Ive learned the hard way that a Julep is either fantastic or terrible, i.e. polar opposites. It has a l ot to do with whos behind the bar, the freshness of the mint, and just what kind of bourbon is poured inside the tin cup.Ill never forget my first, sipped in a French Quarter Bar inNew Orleansafter a boiling day. It was a disaster. I wondered what had catapulted it to iconic status, then later understood completely after I had a serious sit down tasting session of a slew of hallowed bourbon brands.Bourbon takes its name from Bourbon County, Kentucky, once the major shipping site for spirits headed down the Ohio River to New Orleans. Its been declared by Congress Americas Official Native Spirit and plays a big part in Kentucky craftsmanship and tradition as practically all of it is distilled and aged there. bedrngnis surprisingly, the production process is mandated by law bourbon must be made with at least 51% corn and aged in new, white oak barrels, the insides charred which imparts the amber color. Its aged a minimum of 2 years although some of the small batch varieties are aged up to eight.The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is found by driving about an hour or so outside the city and it stretches roughly 75 miles East to West from Lexington to Loretto. Its rolling bluegrass hills are dotted with warehouses and distilleries, including well-known brands like Four Roses, Woodford Reserve, and Makers Mark. Some have elaborate visitors centers with guided tours, tastings, and plenty of Americas favorite brown spirit on hand to take home. The perfect weather on the day of our outing only added to the scenic wonderland, and the small towns dotted here and there were full of surprises.But in my mind, theres no better place to celebrate Louisvilles bourbon heritage than the Lobby Bar of The Brown Hotel. After admiring a massive sculpted iron timepiece perched on a pedestal outside the entrance, I enter the downstairs lobby, the walls graced with replicas of famous works of art. I climb a grand staircase toward reception to the sound of a tinkling piano and the clinking of mi nt julep cups. Its Happy Hour and the Brown is abuzz. The hotel, a historic property from 1923 that reeks of wealth and power, is the epicenter of downtown Louisville. It breathes refinement, and the interior decoration is over the top. With elaborately carved coffered ceilings, porticoed arches and supersized Chinese jardinieres, the lobby looks like a place where J. Paul Getty would be right at home. Enormous iron chandeliers with yellow shades emit a diffused copper glow and the bar is bathed in it. We score one of only 4 seats, no easy feat even on a weeknightWhen we tell Tad, our barman, that were on a mission to try the perfect Mint Julep, he perks up. Glancing at the myriad of bourbon choices on the shelves, he singles out a Four Roses 12 yr. blended small batch and suggests we try it neat. I feel an instant connection to the brand as it was a favorite of my parents when I was a kid. And wed had a tasting at the distillery in Lawrenceburg the day before that won us over. The liquid is intensely flavorful with notes of ripened red berries and hints of caramel it goes down easy. Yup, Tad, thats the one, we bellow. In minutes he has muddled the mint, measured the spirit, and added the ice and simple syrup. Deftly bringing the mixture to life and coolness with his coiled bar spoon, he slowly slides the cups in our direction. Now that one is my opus, he proudly roars. Weve longed for this first sip and are finally getting it. Mere minutes go by before weve hit bottom. You know what? He was right. But were just getting warmed up and have a whole lot more bourbon to drink.
