#40) How to Deal With Angry Customers | Maintaining Your Zen
Is the customer always right? Email us what you think at [email protected] We’d also love to hear your customer horror stories and how you dealt with them.Today, we’re going to talk about dealing with angry customers! We’re going to have stories, tips, strategies in dealing with them.Dealing with Angry Customers: The Three Things I’ve learned.1.) Start developing a sense of emotional intelligence.Emotional intelligence: Notice that gut wrenching feeling in your stomach, take a breath, and just keep going.Understand why this person is acting the way that they do. 9/10 people are acting from an instinct of FEAR. Not hate for you. These people don’t hate you...they are just afraid that their situation isn’t going to work out.2.) Reframe the conversation into a problem-solving session. Remember: it is so important to stay objective in these situations. You need to remove that emotional feeling as much as possible and get past that barrier no matter what. The easiest way to do this is to think of it like a puzzle you are trying to solve. This will make you more curious about the root of the problem--which would better help you solve it, and not let your emotions cloud your judgement. And the quicker you can get them to cooperate and go into the same problem solving mode -- the better!What this also will do is give you a sense of confidence that you wouldn’t otherwise have if you were taking it personally. This confidence is incredibly important when you’re dealing with customers because if you are just going to take the weak position, people aren’t going to trust you to solve their problem.3.) L.A.S.T.I am a personal fan of the last technique. I’ve even heard of the BLAST technique, which I’ll tell you about after the LAST technique:ListenApologizeSolveThankB. is for Believe...Tips and techniques to add on top of that: use their name and smile when on the phone with this person.Resources and Call to ActionMolly Edmonds in her article How Anger Works explains the anger reaction.Email us at projects@letseatgrandma about a time when you dealt with an angry client. Do you believe in the old adage, "The customer is always right?" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is another Just-Ask-Chris minisode where I try and answer a commonly asked job seeker question in under 10 minutes! Today, we discuss what experience you should remove from your resume. Core concepts in the podcast episode:The resume as a marketing piece vs. the all encompassing document. Look to the job postings! This is golden rule #1 because you'll have no direction whatsoever.Why you should cut out fluff and where to start looking.Your summary probably sucks.Favor accomplishments over experiences.

#26) Should you upload your resume as a PDF or Word Document? | Just-Ask-Chris MINISODE #3
Perhaps one of the most commonly asked questions in regards to job applications and ATS software is whether or not to submit your resume as a PDF or Word Document. We don't blame you for your concern. That is why Chris Villanueva, CPRW at Let's Eat, Grandma resume services decided to break down the key differences in submitting your resume as a PDF or a Word Document.Word Doc vs. PDF (Spark Notes Version)Here is the Spark Notes version of the podcast episode:Word Documents are better for ATS Systems. ATS systems are better able to pick up on keywords if they are submitted as a Word Document.PDF documents are better for visual consistency. PDFs are image files (naturally) – and therefore cannot be easily altered.Recruiters tend to prefer Word Documents over other formats. Recruiters will generally prefer Word Documents, so don’t you dare send your RTF file! Many recruiters also prefer PDF documents.Don’t forget to follow instructions. Remember that if there are instructions to send in a specific format, follow those instructions. Being a rebel does not look good – nor does being ignorant.Don't forget to enter our 2019 sharing contest, where every month we select a winner to get resume help. Chris will personally help you write your resume by getting on the phone with you.

Maybe you just met 10 people at a networking event and the idea of following up with them sounds daunting.Truth is, writing is more important than ever in the workplace. Knowledge workers spend all day writing: email messages, user stories, blog posts...And traditional education systems typically don’t do a great job teaching us how to write for the workplace.But how do you message that CEO you just met to build a relationship that may lead to your dream gig?How do you craft a cover letter for a job application that is personal, specific to the position, and concise?How can you be more efficient completing online applications to scale your outbound efforts?As importantly, how do you do get all this writing done efficiently?By the end of this episode, you will have the opportunity to save HOURS of your job search or at work. Because, we are going to motivate you and show you how you can be more efficient.

#15) Listen to This When You Feel Rejected
Welcome to Episode #15: Listen to this episode when you feel rejected. You may have applied for a job that you were really interested in -- and got turned down because someone thought you were unqualified. You may have applied to 100 jobs—and not gotten one call back. You may have gotten passed up on a promotion.The goal of this episode is to lift you out of a rejected state -- and get you in a place where you can continue fighting for your purpose. Preview of Core Concepts of Understanding Rejection: Everybody goes through it—even some of the greatest people in our history. (Henry Ford, Michael Jordan, Albert Einstein, J.K. Rowling)Understand what you are feeling and why you are feeling it. (There is a science behind acknowledging your emotion: research has shown that when you identify what core emotion you are feeling, then it instantly becomes more manageable).Remember that your core identity (who you really are) goes way beyond these external things. What to do now. Keep going: case and point. Remember that the results-oriented things in life (your success) is a numbers game.Find a group of people trying to achieve the same thing that you are. Relate to them.When you feel rejected, label your emotion, and remind yourself of your core identity -- and why you're going to keep going.

#9) How long should your resume be? | Just-ask-Chris MINISODE #1
This is...the Let’s Eat, Grandma podcast number 9 – this is Just-Ask-Chris Minisode #1. We are going to take commonly asked job search questions, break them down, and give you the information as one in-depth answer. Why a minisode? We wanted to give you another way to learn complex information. We take the complex information with a million different rules (like resume writing in the English language) and give you a way to digest it easily. Little resume snacks if you will. We are doing this for those go getters who are hyper learners. So those who really want to take a moment in their life—walking to work, waiting in line at the doctor’s office, whatever—and pick something to learn. These episodes will be very SHORT. That is, around 5-10 minutes to make sure that you get a good answer as quickly as possible. TOPIC: In this podcast, you are going to learn the answer to one of the most commonly asked questions about resumes. How long should it be?! Why is this such a hot topic? What are some example scenarios of a one-page resume vs. a two page resume?The core concept: The resume should be as long as it needs to be — but short enough to remain interesting. Please note: that there are a few industries and positions that would expect you to submit a longer resume. Three examples:· Federal resumes that ask you about everything you did· Academia. (Cover letters even)· IT Consultant positions that want to look at detail of all your past work. If you would like us to evaluate your resume and assess a proper length, please submit your resume to [email protected] also let us know what you thought of this podcast :) Hosted on Acast.

#2) Navigating Career Changes
Welcome to our second podcast. We are resurrecting The Career Warrior Podcast (formerly LEG Job Seeker's Podcast) for good (in honor of this Easter season)! The goal of the podcast series is to spread best job seeking practices to those hunting for their dream job. We will be (hopefully) posting once a week due to the success of our last podcast.Listen to this podcast and we will touch upon the emotional challenges of changing careers –desperation, anxiety, loneliness-- as well as how to overcome them. We will also touch upon the logistics of a career transition, and what it takes to be successful. I brought on Clara Chorley, a top-producing Career Coach.Here are some fun facts about Clara:•Clara Chorley has worked and traveled through 44 countries and 5 continents, with organizations as diverse as (fortune 500) Ernst and Young - and the (humanitarian non-profit) Millennium Village Project in Africa.•Much more than just a careered businesswoman, Clara has founded her own business Clarity Unlimited to help professionals find jobs and build businesses that fulfill them so they can have the impact they want to with their lives. •After a long, winding journey through more than 10 careers she finally figured out her own purposeful work, and by sharing her story, has been helping other professionals do the same — but in much less time — for the last decade.To connect with Clara on the phone, please follow this link: https://www.clarityunlimited.com/coaching-for-leaders/You will want to listen to this podcast if any of the following applies to you:oYou can’t settle on a clear direction or job to pursueoMotivation is low and you’re unsure how to get moving againoYou believe a dose of inspiration, energy and positivity would be good!We hope you enjoy, and don't forget to hit that subscribe button.To find out more about how we can improve your resume to land that next great job in your career, please visit www.letseatgrandma.com and enter the code PODCAST for 10% off any one of our packages.

Top Recruiter is a reality show that takes a look at how rockstar human resources professionals compete to be the best candidate in their profession (much in the way that Top Chef does for culinary arts).When Jordan is not producing TV shows in Europe, she actively recruits candidates for Currency, one of the fastest growing financial services firms in the US.Here is more information about Jordan and Top Recruiter.https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanwweberhttp://toprecruiter.tv/You will want to listen to this podcast if you've ever wondered the following:- What qualities do recruiters really look for in a candidate?-How much does LinkedIn matter?-Are thank you notes worth it?-What is my biggest weakness (or what should I tell this interviewer...?)We hope you enjoy, and don't forget to hit that subscribe button.To find out more job seeker tips, go towww.letseatgrandma.com...and check out our blog!
