????好主意，但這里提個醒：公開演講不適合膽小者,。斯科特?威斯是Speakeasy的負(fù)責(zé)人,，這家公司給微軟（Microsoft）、豐田（Toyota）,、思科（Cisco）和富國銀行（Wells Fargo）等很多大公司的高管提供培訓(xùn),，教授有效公開發(fā)言的要點。他指出,，如今越來越多的商業(yè)活動都提供現(xiàn)場Twitter互動,，觀眾在聽演講過程中將他們的評論和問題用Twitter發(fā)布,。這些在Twitter上發(fā)布的信息通常要么顯示在講臺上的一個筆記本電腦上，要么顯示在一個舞臺上設(shè)立的大屏幕上,，以便房間里的每個人都能看到,。
????“Twitter正在真正改變演講，”威斯稱,，就算看不到人們在Twitter上對你演講內(nèi)容的即時反饋,，“人們?nèi)栽谟肨witter談?wù)撃恪,？粗^眾席,，一眼望去，每個人都在活動大拇指,，發(fā)送信息,，真地停讓人分神，”他說,?！俺嗣嫦蛴^眾演講的其他所有壓力，現(xiàn)在又有了這個新出現(xiàn)的層面需要考慮,。的確讓人發(fā)狂”——特別是對于已經(jīng)足夠緊張的演講新手,。
????確實，對于任何一個容易怯場的人,，Twitter互動可能都會成為壓垮人的最后一根稻草,。幸運的是，除了親自站在會議觀眾面前,，昂首挺胸故作姿態(tài)之外,，還有其他方式吸引高管獵頭的注意。向行業(yè)雜志或其他專業(yè)出版物提供署名文章,，同樣也能贏得關(guān)注,。
????同時，不要忽視直接接觸,。結(jié)識幾位專攻你所在領(lǐng)域的幾家招聘獵頭,，讓他們知道你有興趣互換聯(lián)系方式。即便你本人不太適合一家獵頭正在努力尋找的職位空缺,，你或許認(rèn)識合適的人選,。幫助推薦或引薦別人，這是留在獵頭的視野范圍之內(nèi)最管用的做法之一,。
????此外，由于獵頭常常在社交媒體網(wǎng)站上搜索人才,，因此,，一定要確保你在商務(wù)社交網(wǎng)站LinkedIn上的簡歷完整并及時得到更新,。“精心選擇關(guān)鍵詞,，展現(xiàn)職業(yè)發(fā)展,，明顯而實在的職位、公司和教育經(jīng)歷都能吸引我們的關(guān)注,，”芝加哥獵頭公司JobPlex總裁賈斯汀?赫施稱,，在LinkedIn上擁有強大的網(wǎng)絡(luò)意味著“你可能會被別人推薦給我們，同時,，我們也能找到你,。”
??? 反饋： 你曾經(jīng)有過因為一次（或更多）公開演講獲得跳槽機會的經(jīng)歷嗎,？如果你曾經(jīng)通過一位高端獵頭獲得工作,，你是如何建立聯(lián)系的？歡迎留言和我們分享,。

????Great, but one word of caution: Public speaking these days is not for the faint of heart. Scott Weiss is head of a firm called Speakeasy that has coached executives at Microsoft (MSFT), Toyota (TM), Cisco (CSCO), Wells Fargo (WFC), and many other big companies on the fine points of effective public speaking. He notes that a growing number of business events now feature live Twitter feeds that let the audience Tweet comments and questions during speeches. The Tweets often show up either on a laptop on the podium or on a giant screen set up on the stage that is visible to everyone in the room.
????"Twitter is really changing the game," observes Weiss, adding that, even if you don't see the instant Twitter feedback on what you're saying, "people are still tweeting about you. When you look out at the audience and see everyone's thumbs going, it can be distracting," he notes. "Along with all the other stresses of speaking to an audience, you now have this added layer to contend with. It's nerve-wracking" -- especially for a neophyte speaker who may already be nervous enough.
????Indeed, for anyone who is prone to stage fright to begin with, the Twitter-factor may be a deal breaker. Luckily, there are other ways to catch an executive recruiter's eye besides standing up in front of an in-person audience and strutting your stuff. Contributing bylined articles to trade journals and other professional publications can get you noticed, too.
????And don't overlook the direct approach: Get in touch with a few recruiters who specialize in your field and let them know you're interested in swapping contacts. Even if you're not quite the right fit for a job opening a headhunter is trying to fill right now, you may know someone who is. One of the surest ways to stay on a recruiter's radar screen is to help out by recommending and introducing others.
????Since headhunters often troll for talent on social media sites, make sure your LinkedIn profile is complete and up-to-date. "Well-chosen key words, a demonstration of career progression, and obviously solid titles, companies, and education will catch our attention," says Justin Hirsch, president of Chicago-based recruiting firm JobPlex, adding that a strong network on LinkedIn means "you can get referred to us and, at the same time, we can find you."
??? Talkback: Have you made a career move as a result of a public speaking gig (or more than one)? If you've gotten a job through an executive recruiter, how did you connect with him or her? Leave a comment below. |
