UpMo.com: Advance Your Career And Earn More With This Networking Tool
Posted on | July 28, 2009 | No Comments
Are you the kind of professional whose career just seems to rise like a rocket headed for the stratosphere?
Yeah, me neither.
That is why I became really interested when I first read about a new web based career networking tool called UpMo (short for upward mobility).
Upwardly Mobile (UpMo) is a subscription-based, web tool to assist you in building, nurturing and leveraging your network of contacts to rapidly advance your career and ultimately lead to the kind of higher earnings and positions of leadership you deserve.
Upmo follows in the footsteps of other online web tools such as LinkedIn, but goes much further by creating a plan to leverage that network, and guide you on a direct and continuous path to career advancement.
UpMo: Four Steps To Career Success
Bring control to your career with UpMo in four steps:
- Evaluate The Ability Of Your Current Network To Assist You Upward
- Select An UpModel Or Role Model
- Create A Career Map
- Action Plan
Evaluate Network Effectiveness
When you are on your way up the career ladder, we all know that it is who you know that counts. The Network Readiness Tool is a free evaluation that analyzes your networking behavior and tendencies by finding out how and how often you keep in touch with colleagues, peers, and mentors and advisers.
It provides an assessment of your networking readiness, identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. It provides an actionable networking and career “best practices guide” that will help you maximize your network.
Select an UpModel
Select the “person” you want to become.
You are given the choice of several role models to emulate and can tweak the details to match style and preferences. You often start first with a real person and begin to tweak the details from there. It is a very tedious process, but one that helps refine and define the exact persona you wish to emulate.
Currently, UpMo offers 200 role models.
UpModels are high-earning professionals who’ve shared the intimate details of their career development—books they’ve read, classes they’ve taken, mistakes they’ve made and the networking habits they’ve used to drive success. After tweaking the details, UpMo charts your path against theirs to emulate the success of these real-life superachievers.
Map Your Career
Now that you have selected an UpModel, you now are given a road map to get from where you are today to your goal.
The Map includes the earning potential over different periods of time in the career of your customized UpModel. The interactive map is clickable and provides a wealth of information to help you determine where you are today, where you are going and how to get there.
It is a graphical representation of your career, showing your actual earnings and your role model’s earnings, as well as a straight line projection to your career goal.
Create An Action Plan
Finally, here is the most important part of the UpMo analysis.
With your map in hand, you begin to “GPS your career.” You will use your regularly updated Career Action Plan to identify landmarks and receive mile-by-mile instructions for how to navigate your career path.
On your desktop, online or integrated with Microsoft Outlook or Webmail applications such as Yahoo or Google, UpMo’s Career Action Plan helps you develop a regular networking habit.
UpMo provides defined daily, weekly and monthly career and network development tasks like phone calls, meet-ups, events and e-mails, all based on your network readiness score, networking style and career destination.
