Have you ever bombed a phone interview? Are you afraid you might?
Or do you just think phone interviews are awkward and painful?

 Most of the LinkedIn profile Headlines I see on LinkedIn today are LinkedIn default headlines. What is the LinkedIn default headline? The default setting is your last job title and the company you worked for.
Example: Marketing Manager at ABC Company. Sounds terribly exciting doesn't it? I just did a search on LinkedIn for "Marketing Manager" and the results were 1,329,169 results for "Marketing Manager". Yes, I used the quotes because I wanted that exact phrase. Just a little competition.
So being a Marketing Manager, that's OK, but it's JUST OK. You need to breathe some life into your headline in order to stand out on LinkedIn. You are competing with almost 300 million profiles. Your headline does not have to be your job. You are not your job. Even if you are in a job search your headline should showcase who you are. It should be your ideal target position and what you do, not just a job title.

It happens all the time.
Many people say they have always wanted to own their own business, but few follow through. One of the most common reasons they give is that they have never owned a business. “How will I know all the things I’ll need to do?”, they ask. “I’m a good manager. But there are so many other things involved in owning a business. How will I know how to do those?”
And that, ladies and gentlemen, captures the reason to invest in a franchise. With a franchise, the franchise company will train you in all of the things you’ll need to know. And they will help and support you after you get started.
Nobody has mastered all of the different skills needed to successfully start, grow, and run a business. But with a franchise, you don’t have to know all of that before you start.

If your job search sucks, it's probably the result of one of 3 things:
- You can't find good jobs to apply for
- You can't get interviews for jobs you are interested in
- You go to interviews, but you don't get job offers
If you want to find great jobs, get the interviews you really want, and get job offers every time you interview...
Here's what to do:

LinkedIn says 51% of profiles are complete, and 49% are not at the All Star level.
LinkedIn calls it a profile strength meter. The Profile Strength meter is on the right side of your profile and gauges how robust your profile is. The strength will increase as you add more content.
Move and hover your cursor over the circle in the box to view the next level of strength you can reach. You can click the Improve Your Profile Strength link for a guided tour that’ll guide you through adding content to your profile.
There are 5 levels of strength
