Magical Teams

A tip from our founder Christina Salerno ✨ Wondering how to better #empower your team to take action and own responsibilities? Recently my focus has been on up-leveling the amazing team members at Magical Teams. One concept I've been walking them through when they feel stuck to take action is that it's important they know the following 3 levels for their responsibilities, projects, and tasks: 1 - What is the goal or outcome? What needs to be achieved? They need to have the direction in mind so they can drive things forward and navigate obstacles on the path towards the aligned results. It also ensures they actually deliver on what is needed. Goal: Share more of my thoughts onto LinkedIn. 2 - What does "done" look like? How do they know the goal has been achieved? If they don't define this, then projects can get trapped in a cycle of limbo, uncertainty, "waiting" on dependencies, or not fully completed. Done: Writing a post at least monthly, up to a stretch goal weekly. 3 - What are the action steps towards achieving 1 & 2? This is what it actually looks like for them or others to make it happen. The actions might be known in advance, but often can become emergent as they move projects forward. Actions: Create a recurring weekly task in our PM tool. Observe my conversations and experience for ideas. Carve out space to write. Publish to LinkedIn. They know at least pieces of the above, but without the whole picture they likely will get stuck along the way or only complete something partially. They could feel paralyzed and not even sure where or why. They may want to reach out for help, but don't know how. Especially if they care about performing well, then they might be suffering in silence trying to put effort into problem solving without getting results. It's our job as #leaders to provide them "1", guide them to define "2", and NOT get in the way of "3". Empowerment looks like providing the outcome and holding them #accountable to it. Provide feedback and guidance along the way while not stepping on their toes. Helping them feel safe to stretch, learn from their mistakes, and take #ownership. ✍ Share in the comments: what's your approach to empowering your team to take ownership? What of the above can you implement to increase their empowerment and aligned results?

Ever felt your #resume gets lost in the black hole of online applications? You're not alone. The truth is, landing your dream job starts with a strong first impression, and your resume is your first handshake. But a generic resume might not be enough to grab attention. It's like showing up to a party in sweatpants – you might blend in, but you won't stand out. Let's face it: You've probably spent countless hours perfecting your resume, only to watch it disappear into the abyss of applicant tracking systems. We get it. The job hunt is tough. But what if your resume could be as exciting as your favorite show? Imagine a document that screams "hire me!" from across the room. That’s where the magic happens. Your resume isn’t just a document; it’s your #personalbrand story. To truly shine, it needs to be well-crafted and tailored to each job. Here's the secret: the small details make a big difference. Here are two impactful tips to make your resume shine: Action Verbs are Your Superpowers: Instead of dull statements, use powerful verbs like 'orchestrated', 'spearheaded', or 'cultivated' to describe your achievements. This instantly injects energy and showcases your skills in action. Numbers Speak Louder Than Words: Quantify your accomplishments! Don't just say "increased sales." Say "boosted sales by 25% within Q3." Concrete numbers make a lasting impression and prove your impact. These tweaks might seem small, but they can make a BIG difference. Remember, your resume is your chance to brag (professionally, of course). This is just the beginning of your resume mastery journey! Want to supercharge your resume with expert help? Our #hiring specialists at Magical Teams offer professional #resumereview services. They'll help you craft a tailored resume that gets you interviews (and hopefully, the job!).

Are #jobdescriptions a hot mess? Let’s be honest, they often feel like a puzzle with missing pieces. You're staring at this long, confusing list of requirements and thinking, "What on earth are they actually looking for?" It's like the #hiringmanager is speaking a whole different language. One minute they want a "unicorn," the next they're asking for a "ninja." It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin! It's frustrating, right? But what if we told you there’s a way to make your #resume look like it was written specifically for that job? Imagine handing your resume to a hiring manager, and they’re like, “Whoa, this person is a perfect match!” That’s the kind of resume magic we’re talking about. Here's the skinny on how to tailor your resume: First, become a job description detective. Think of yourself as a skilled investigator. Carefully examine the job posting, looking for specific keywords and phrases that pop up repeatedly. These are the golden nuggets the hiring manager is searching for in a candidate. Let's say you're applying for a "Digital Marketing Specialist" role. Common keywords might include: Skills: SEO, PPC, social media marketing, email marketing, analytics Tools: Google Analytics, HubSpot, Adobe Analytics Experiences: campaign management, lead generation, A/B testing Next, it's matchmaking time. Compare your #skills and experiences to the keywords you've identified. Wherever there's a match, it's like finding a perfect puzzle piece! Highlight these matches prominently on your resume. Use strong action verbs and quantifiable achievements to showcase your abilities effectively. For instance: Job description: "Proven experience in managing social media campaigns to increase brand awareness and engagement" Your experience: Managed and executed Instagram campaigns resulting in a 25% increase in followers within three months for [Company Name]. Successfully implemented a [type of campaign, e.g., user-generated content, influencer partnership] strategy to boost brand awareness by [percentage]. In this case, "social media campaigns," "brand awareness," and "engagement" are your matches. Your resume should highlight your Instagram campaign, emphasizing the follower growth to quantify your success. Remember, you're not trying to write a novel here. Keep it concise but impactful. The goal is to show them you're the perfect person for the job, not write your autobiography. If you're tired of generic job search advice and want someone to help you craft a killer, custom-made resume, well, that's kind of our thing at Magical Teams. Start by filling out this short hiring help survey. We're here to guide you on your journey to success. We don't just give generic #tips – we provide personalized guidance to help YOU land your dream job. https://lnkd.in/eQrc4-Bu
