(ARA) — Facing a struggling
economy and record levels of
unemployment, millions of young
people are heading back to thousands
of U.S. colleges and universities this
fall, anxious about their job prospects
over the next few years.
Kick-starting a new career in this
challenging economy won’t be easy as
graduates from the classes of 2011,
2010 and 2009 have learned the hard
way. But, with a little determination
and preparation, college students can
increase their odds of landing a job
right out of school and laying a
foundation for future success.
One of the most important areas of
concern for college students who plan
on entering the workforce soon is the
Internet. While it can be extremely
helpful in finding internships and jobs,
it can also cripple your career
prospects, according to FindLaw.com,
a leading online destination for legal
information. College students must
pay extra attention to their use of the
Internet. Embarrassing or
inappropriate photos, messages,
opinions and documents can live on
the Internet for years, and can
negatively impact a young person’s
search for gainful employment.
Here are some additional tips from
FindLaw.com on what college
students should do now to prepare to
land the job of their dreams right out
of school:
Don’t embellish your resume
Compiling a resume is the first step to
finding a job – or even an internship
while you’re attending college. Go to
the job placement center at your
college or university to get tips on how
to write an effective resume. But take
heed: Exaggerating accomplishments
on your resume will more often end up
hurting you than helping you.
Companies have become more
sophisticated in conducting
background and reference checks
through job application forms and
resumes. Instead, focus on using
keywords and figures to highlight your
strengths and to demonstrate
increasing levels of responsibility.
Watch what you post online
Savvy employers use the Internet,
including social networking sites such
as LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace,
Bebo and Twitter to determine if you’ll
be a good fit for their organization.
When posting online, avoid foul
language, inappropriate pictures, lewd
jokes, and references to drug abuse and
excessive alcohol consumption. Avoid
posting offensive statuses, and limit
the number of posts on Facebook and
other online forums. Too many
postings on Facebook or Twitter says
you’re spending too much time on
social networking sites rather than on
your studies.
Build a work history
Most employers want to see job
candidates who are building a track
record of successful employment –
taking on roles that increase in
responsibility from one job to the next.
Employers want to see results and
accomplishments, especially as it
relates to your field of interest. To get
the experience needed to land the job
of your dreams, college students and
those just out of college may need to
take jobs or internships that may not
pay as much as they would like. You
should also consider volunteering with
non-profit organizations in order to
gain critical skills. If you’re entering
your junior year in college, it is not too
soon to be seeking internships in the
profession or industry that you’re
interested in working in.

Job Fairs are excellent places to land jobs, because employers are there specifically toline up candidates for interviews, and some even interview and hire on-the-spot. While Job Fairs can be overwhelming with many people waiting to see the sameemployer, the pressure of on-the-spot interviewing, noise and sometimes confu-sion, they are often a great tool and a good way to meet company representativesface-to-face. Before you go, review some tips on participating, which will help makeyour Career Fair experience a positive one.
ResumesBefore the Job Fair, do a little research to find out how many companies are goingto be on site. Plan to take enough resumes for all the companies you know you’reinterested in, and at least one resume for every two companies that you’re not asinterested in. While you may think that you are indifferent in a certain company, thedisplay or a chat with a company representative may change your mind. Be sure thatyour resume is current and accurate. Have someone proofread them before youmake copies! Typos and other errors can be considered sloppiness on your partand your resume quickly “screened out” because of it. Finally, don’t be afraid to dis-tribute your resume to company representatives, that’s what you are there for!
Prepare a “One-Minute Commercial” Your “One-Minute Commercial” should be a compilation, summarized, of your re-sume and cover letter. It should be a brief but descriptive statement about yourabilities and skills as well as what you’re looking for in a new job. It is very much likeyour objective statement. First, illustrate the important details that support yourqualifications for the position. This is your chance to let the company representativeknow why you are uniquely suited for the position you are seeking. Brevity, speci-ficity and perhaps most importantly relativity are the keys!

You've probably heard it a million times:
Personal branding is important to the
success of a job search. Why is it so
important? Because as a unique job seeker,
it helps define you as an individual and
makes you stand out as a prime candidate.
There are aspects of your background
that make you incredibly unique and
highly qualified-and your job is to
highlight those aspects so that hiring
managers don't have to guess whether
you're perfect for the job. To help you get
started, here are five personal branding
techniques to try when working on your
resume.
1. Develop a Strong Title/Job Target
Your title/job target is the first impression
a hiring manager will have when reading
your resume. This short phrase provides a
quick summary of what you've
accomplished and why you are the right
person for the job. It helps to set the tone
for who you are as a candidate. This tone
should remain consistent throughout the
resume and any other information the
manager receives about you.
2. Add Links to Your Professional
Profiles
Another great technique for building
your personal brand is to link to your
professional profiles. Keep in mind that,
most times, your resume is submitted
online and can easily be linked to Web
sites. If you link to your LinkedIn and
Twitter profiles, as well as one or two
other professional sites you have, you give
the employer a chance to learn more about
the contributions you've made in your
field.
3. Summarize Your Career Highlights
You can also develop your personal brand
by creating a career summary section. You
want the most important moments of
your career to stand out in this section.
These moments might include your
winning salesperson of the year five times,
or your efforts as a team leader that
resulted in record revenues. It's good to
list at least four highlights, but make sure
they're tailored to the job for which you're
applying.
4. Turn Your Duties into Initiatives
Instead of listing the duties you were
given on any job you've worked, it's great
to brand yourself by listing your
initiatives. So if you were in charge of
taking phone messages and created a new
system that made message delivery more
effective, don't just write, "Answered calls
and delivered messages". Write a couple of
sentences starting with "Developed" or
"Initiated", then talk about what you
created and how it helped the message-
taking process flow more smoothly
throughout the office.
5. Consider Testimonials
Adding testimonials to resumes is still a
unique concept to many job seekers, so
taking this route could automatically
make you stand out. Find two or three
reputable references in your field to vouch
for your greatness in a one- or two-
sentence quote. This could really help to
back you up as a strong candidate.
There's nothing better than standing out
as the strongest candidate each time you
apply for a job. Increase the odds of being
that person by developing your personal
brand in your resume.

Self-Employment in Maine Research Brief, Maine Department of Labor, Center for Workforce Research and Information
Self-employment is an important source of jobs in Maine.
About 66,000 workers said their primary job was
unincorporated self-employment in 2010, accounting for
an estimated 10.3 percent of employed residents.
Nationally, the unincorporated self-employed accounted
for seven percent of total employment in 2010. The Maine
rate of self-employment ranged between 10 and 12
percent in the 2000s, well above the national rate.
Published estimates of self-employment for Maine from
the Current Population Survey (CPS) include only total
counts of the unincorporated self-employed from 2000 to
2010. Unpublished (CPS) and American Community
Survey (ACS) data in this brief comes from the Integrated
Census Public Use Microdata Series. These data are
subject to sampling error and detailed estimates must be
viewed with caution.
The incorporated self-employed are counted as wage and
salary workers in published employment estimates since
they are legally employees of their own business.
According to unpublished CPS data, incorporated self-
employment in Maine accounted for a little over 4 percent
of total employment in 2010.
SELF-EMPLOYMENT HAS
DECLINED SLIGHTLY
While self-employment rates move up and down, over the
course of several years the official unincorporated rate has
declined slightly. Between 1994 and 2000 the rate of
unincorporated self-employment in Maine averaged 11.8
percent compared to 10.3 percent for 2001 to 2010. The
incorporated self-employment rate was unchanged at 3.5
percent.
Nationally, the unincorporated rate fell from 8.0 percent
(1994-2000 average) to 7.3 percent (2001-2009); the
incorporated rate rose from 3.3 to 3.7 percent. The U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics cites the increased likelihood of
businesses to incorporate to get the traditional benefits of
the corporate structure as a reason for the shift in the
corporative status of the self-employed.
There are a number of factors that impact the number of
self-employed. The mid-to-late 1990s were characterized
by rapid employment growth and low unemployment.
Employment growth slowed in the early 2000s, with a
period of employment decline and higher unemployment
in the late 2000s. Certainly, the sluggish labor market of
the early 2000s and the Great Recession of the late 2000s
negatively affected the demand for services of many of the
self-employed. At the same time, a countering affect could
result in a rise in self-employment as wage and salary
workers losing their jobs start new businesses.
Further complicating the issue, the CPS classifies
employment based on the job at which the most hours are
worked. A person holding a wage and salary job, who is
also self-employed, is classified as a wage and salary
worker if he/she works the most hours at the wage and
salary job. If the wage and salary job is lost, the person
would still be counted as employed—a self-employed
worker. Thus, the count of self-employed would rise even
though total employment would not.
With all of these factors considered, it does appear that
the weak labor market of the 2000s had a dampening
effect on the number of self-employed in Maine.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
SELF-EMPLOYED
The following characteristics of the unincorporated self-
employed are developed from the ACS that differs slightly
from the CPS in methodologies and timing of the surveys.
Three-year average estimates are used to improve the
reliability of the data.
The Self-Employed Were More Likely
to be Male and Older
A larger percentage of the self-employed were older and
male compared to wage and salary workers. The self-
employed had higher shares of workers with little
education and the highest level of education.
About one in five of workers aged 65 and over were self-
employed Only five percent of workers age 16 to 34 were
self-employed. Among the possible reasons for the oldest
age cohort having a much higher self-employment rate
that those age 16 to 34 are older workers have more
resources to start a business (human and financial capital)
and older workers retired from wage and salary jobs may
become self-employed to supplement retirement income.
Self-employment rates were highest for workers with a
high school education or less and a graduate degree,
reflecting high proportions of the self-employed in
construction, and management and professional
occupations.
The Self-Employed were Working in a Wide Variety of
Industries and Occupations
The self-employed were more heavily concentrated in the
construction and professional and business services
industries compared to wage and salary workers. The
construction industry employed about one-quarter of the
self-employed. Professional and business services and
educational and health care services accounted for over 25
percent.
While the self-employed are in a variety of occupations,
management, professional, and related, and construction,
extraction, maintenance, and repair occupations accounted
for 50 percent of the self-employed, reflecting industry
concentration.
Over 40 percent of those employed in agriculture,
forestry, fishing, hunting, and mining; about 30 percent of
construction workers; and almost 30 percent of the
workers in other services, which contains a variety of
industries such as barber shops and shoe repair, were self-
employed.
Major occupations with the highest self-employment
rates were farming, fishing, forestry and logging (46
percent) and construction (24 percent).
IN SUMMARY
Nearly one in seven Maine workers were self-employed in
2009, either incorporated or unincorporated, compared to
about one in nine nationally. While a slight decline in self-
employment was recorded during the sluggish labor
market of the 2000s, the self-employed remain an
important part of the Maine economy.

contact for interested companies and
conveys a lasting impression about you,
your best practices and attention to
detail.
Is your greeting inspiring?
The fact is, many job-seekers lose
interview opportunities because a
judgment call was made after listening to
an unprofessional voicemail greeting -
one that negatively influenced a decision
by a potential hiring manager. An
example: "Hey, I'm not here so leave a
message and I'll get back to you."
Intuitively, this voice greeting is clearly
not consistent with the image portrayed
by the inspiring resume that motivated a
hiring manager to pick up a phone and
call you. It generates a level of doubt
regarding the caliber of the candidate.
Be attentive to details
Always verify that your voice recording
is clear, concise and professional before
embarking on your job search. This may
be the first contact that the employer has
with you after reviewing your resume. A
message recorded with background noise
or one that lacks clarity does not convey
a superior level of professionalism and
proper etiquette. Remember, you're in
sales mode, and attention to detail is vital
to maintain a competitive edge. An
appropriate greeting may be:
"Hello, this is John Doe, and I'm not
available to answer your call at this time.
However, your call is important to me.
Please leave your name and a brief
message, including your phone number,
and I will return your call at my earliest
convenience. Thank you and have a nice
day."
Consistently presenting yourself in a
professional and responsive manner at all
touch points is vital during a job search.
An email address such as "partyanimal"
does not bode well for the job-seeker.
Initial impressions make or break
employment opportunities.
Don't let small yet vital omissions
tarnish the way you're perceived by
people you wish to impress. By focusing
on the details, you leave a positive and
lasting impression throughout the job-
search process.

W e a r e a n E q u a l O p p o r t u n i t y E m p l o y e r .
I often hear that sending a
handwritten thank you note is so "last
year" or "old fashioned". When I'm
social media sites and post I'm writing
thank you notes I am immediately
bombarded by people trying to sell me
one of the many services that you can
subscribe to that will send a thank you
note for you. I don't think machine
written and signed thank-you notes
have the same sincerity as an "old
fashioned" handwritten thank you
note. Below are my personal
experiences that show the ROI (return
on investment) of sending a
handwritten thank you note.
1. Job Offer
We are often told to send a thank you
note after a job interview. I, like most
people, thought this was corny.
However, I sent a thank you note after
having a job interview for a job I really
wanted. Guess what, I received an offer
for the job. After this experience I have
sent a thank you note after every job
interview and I have been offered every
job. A handwritten thank you note is
key to standing out amongst the
competition in today's highly
competitive job market. One thank you
note netted me a job offer of over 32
thousand dollars and a subsequent
thank you note netted me a job offer of
60 thousand dollars.
2. Paid Speaking Engagement
Recently I attended a conference and
sent the conference organizer a
handwritten thank you note. He
emailed me thanking me for the note
and commented that no one sends
them any longer. The conference
organizer then asked if I was available
to be a paid speaker at various
upcoming conferences he had
scheduled. He stopped by my office
the following week and offered me an
additional paid speaking engagement.
This one thank you note has netted me
over one thousand dollars so far.
3. Relationship Building
Thank you notes are a great way to
build relationships. If you recently
received a gift basket or other type of
gift by winning a raffle the thank you
note will not only show the business
owner that provided the gift basket
that you appreciated it but it will also
show that you were raised with
manners. This starts the rapport
building process.
4. Repeat Clients & Referrals
Do you send thank you notes to your
clients? I have and it pays off in
customers that feel valued. Valued
customers and clients will refer people
to your business resulting in additional
revenue. They will also return to do
business with you. Your return on
investment is unlimited.
5. Joint Ventures
When you read an article or blog that
has great content do you send a thank-
you note to let the author know how
much you appreciated it? This strategy
has led to several joint ventures that
has increased my business revenue.
Thank-you notes are not a thing of
the past. Hand written thank you notes
are something you should be sending
on a regular basis after receiving a gift,
learning a new strategy or attending a
job interview. Do not worry that you
have horrible handwriting. The
recipient will appreciate the time and
effort you took to show your
appreciate. The return on investment is
unlimited. I encourage you to go right
now and purchase a package of thank
you notes and a book of stamps to keep
on hand. This small investment will
net you big returns.

If you left your previous job in good
standing, your old boss is more likely
to give you a good reference. The
better the reference, the more likely
you’ll get that job you’re applying for.
Former coworkers can often make for
good references as well. It’s important
to stay in touch with previous
employers and co-workers who can
serve as references for future
employment. In addition to on-the-job
references, professors and coaches at
your college can serve as references.
Build your networks
It is not too soon to begin building a
professional network of contacts while
you are in college. Create a LinkedIn
page to begin promoting your
experience, accomplishments and
skills, as well as to maintain your
contacts with professors, mentors and
fellow students. Maintain a blog to
showcase your career and volunteer
accomplishments. Join professional
associations to network with others in
your chosen field.
Establish mentor relationships
Identify two to three working
professionals in your profession from
whom you can obtain career advice and
wisdom. Invite them for coffee to learn
about what you can do to enhance your
career direction.
Study the job market
While you’re in school, not after you
graduate, is the time to study the job
market and find out what industries
are hiring and how much you can
expect to be paid upon graduating
from college. For example, a 2009
Labor Department study of college
graduates under 25 showed that those
who majored in engineering were more
likely to find jobs just out of college
than those who majored in the
humanities. You may be passionate for
what you’re studying, but it’s just as
important to be realistic about your job
prospects.
Assess your student debt
According to the John J. Heldrich
Center for Workforce Development,
the average 2010 four-year college
graduate earned a median starting
salary of $27,000. As a student, you
should analyze the amount of student
debt you are taking on to achieve your
degree in light of the amount of money
you’ll make in your chosen field.
Graduating with a mountain of
student debt can make it more difficult
to establish a good credit history and
take the risks that are necessary in
building a solid career.
