Download iPhone Contacts
Backup/Export/Download iPhone Contacts Im sure there are a gazillion ways to get contacts off of your iPhone. One of my users shared this tool: My Contacts Backup This exports to a vcard, or you can go into the settings and export to a csv. A vcard will include images and custom fields, the csv apparently doesnt. You can also find easy and free vcard-csv converters online, although once again, this will not include images (thats just the nature of csv no rich media). Other JibberJobber users are successfully syncing their iPhone contacts with their Google (Gmail) contacts, although Ive read that this is nearly impossible for some, and super easy for others. If you can sync your iPhone contacts with Gmail Contacts, then syncing that to Gmail is just a few clicks away. One of the comments that seemed funny on the My Contacts Backup page was this: Last year during Sundance iCloud (aka iCrap) wiped the last 9 months of contacts and all of my notes. Theres always a nickname for everything, isnt there? I dont expect to see that kind of nickname in the Apple userbase, though ! Any other tricks or tips for getting contacts from your iPhone?

5 Minute Fix Find a job for this summer University of Manchester Careers Blog
5 Minute Fix Find a job for this summer University of Manchester Careers Blog Easter bunnys here to help So, you havent got a job lined up yet whether just for summer or for after you graduate. Is it too late to do something before your exams? No! One quick fix, right now, before the Easter break, might unlock your ideal job. How? Tell everyone you know what youd love to do over summer, or after you graduate. Post on any social media you use Sure, you can WhatsApp your friends, but dont forget Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn as well. Thats what the old people still use and theyre the ones with jobs to fill, and who know other old people who might be able to help you! Phone home If you still live at home (inside or outside term-time), or have family friends or relatives who have a vested interest in seeing you fixed up, let everyone know what youre after, particularly if youre going home for the holidays. Your home-based supporters club can have their ear to the ground for any good opportunities or contacts. Right, now the scary bit. What if this generates a possible contact or the name of a potential employer? Write to them, now! Offer your services for any project or temporary work over the summer, highlighting the skills, experience and enthusiasm you can bring, and include a tailored CV. Hint: being able to pick things up quickly, use your initiative and work with limited supervision are sought after attributes for any short term work. Asking for experience or training or an internship isnt as attractive to an employer. If youre looking for a graduate job, you can ask for a job for after you graduate but starting out doing project or temporary work can also be a way into a longer term job. Dont assume that project or temporary work is unpaid. Other temp workers are paid as long as youre doing real work which is needed by the employer, you should assume you get paid! (See our advice on unpaid experience.) Why now, before Easter? Because as long as theyre within travelling distance of where youll be over the Easter break, you can suggest that you will be available between 21st March and 8th April if there is any chance of speaking to you directly about any opportunities you may have. Theyll probably want to speak to you before offering you a job, so use the Easter break to get ahead of the crowd. Who knows? Theres just the chance that you might bag an interview or two and even a job before you come back to Manchester and head towards exams. What if you dont have their email address? Try snail mail youve just about got time to get it to them before the Easter break! In fact, most employers get so many emails, a good hard copy letter and CV can actually stand out. Still no names to contact? Try the Organisation Directory in CareersLink and search: over 10,000 organisations all over the UK (and some overseas) large and small the smaller ones are where there will be less competition in all sorts of work (thats the Organisation Sector filter in the Advanced Search see below) all of whom want to target University of Manchester students.

5 reasons why supply chain and logistics are important with DHL
5 reasons why supply chain and logistics are important with DHL This article was written in collaboration with DHL. Find out more about graduate roles and internships and graduate roles with DHL on the Debut app. What do you picture when someone says the word hero to you? Probably a caped crusader like Superman, a masked vigilante like Deadpool or, if youre Liverpudlian, Steven Gerrard. Well, were here to celebrate a different kind of hero. One that keeps businesses ticking over, products in the right hands and without whom no industry on the planet could exist. Were talking of course about Supply Chain and Logistics. Supply Chain Logistics and those who work in this industry are the circulatory system behind many of the worlds largest industries, while also being a huge sector in itself. In a world where demand is becoming more instantaneous, the efficient transfer of products and materials from business to manufacturer to customer is crucial. No company knows this better than DHL, with graduates on their Supply Chain and Logistics being right on the forefront of this challenging and exciting process. Heres why they are the unsung heroes of industry. They are constantly called upon to innovate The crux of Supply Chain and Logistics isnt just about getting things from A to B. Its about how a company like DHL can get from A to B (and all places in between) as efficiently as possible, leaving only satisfied customers. To do this, they must apply the keenest logic (hence the name, logistics) science and technology to find solutions. This is evolving constantly with changes to products, company needs and the world at large, so the level of planning, review and quick thinking required is almost herculean. As a graduate, you can expect to be heavily involved in the changes as they happen. They collaborate to make things happen It takes a full team effort to plan and execute a supply chain that runs in 220 countries all over the globe. Thats why DHL Supply Chain graduates work closely with other businesses. Together, they go over the plan for all logistics, forecasting the amount of product they can move, with first-class customer service every step of the way. A well thought-out and organised supply chain can change a companies fortunes and revolutionise their growth. In order for a company to expand internationally, companies like DHL and grads like you will need to be on hand to provide the customer with this. Theyre adept with technology Of course, in this day and age, an operation so complex on such a global scale would not be possible for DHL without cutting-edge technology. Next-level innovations are prevalent all the way through the logistics process, from warehouse to transport to customer. Take for instance the EffiBOT, made in collaboration with a French start-up a fully automated trolley which follows warehouse pickers as theyre gathering packages and can even drive itself back to the pickup point when full. Or the DHL SmartSensor, which tells couriers at a glance the temperature and status of highly sensitive life sciences and healthcare freight on its journey across the world. Theyre even experimenting with augmented reality in their Dutch warehouses, something which along with automation is certainly going to shape the workplace of the future. If you want a graduate job with tech on the forefront, look no further than DHL. You only get to see the end of a long process As you can see, Supply Chain and Logistics is about way more than delivering packages. Its a process that stretches all the way back through the supply and manufacture of all your favourite goods and services. DHL provide an end-to-end service which mean their customer dont want for anything from product manufacture all the way to delivery. But its not just about the process, its the people of DHL that makes the intricate world of Supply Chain and Logistics possible. DHLs diverse workforce is a team and if you join it, youll have plenty of opportunities to showcase your people management and collaboration skills as well as your own individual talents in the varied world of Supply Chain and Logistics. DHL will be opening applications for their 2019 intake on the 24th September, 2018 including the new Future Leaders Programme. For more information please visit DHLs career pages here and be sure to check out their roles on the Debut app! Connect with Debut on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn for more careers insights.

Continuing Your Career Search - Hallie Crawford
Continuing Your Career Search If youre serious about finding a new job that has you springing out of bed each morning, you may want to invest in a career coach, or career counselor. Many people who decide to make a bold move in their career, start up their own business or return to school to learn a new skill or trade, do so with the help of a career coach or counselor. A career coach can give much needed practical advice and guidance, while offering an objective viewpoint on your personal situation. A career coach can help you: ⢠Create and implement a transition plan ⢠Set realistic reachable goals ⢠Network effectively and efficiently ⢠Identify the career path you want ⢠Push gremlins aside and step out of the box and your comfort zone ⢠Overcome obstacles ⢠Find a career thatâs right for you (not what otherâs think is right for you) How do you find support? Professional support from a career coach or career counselor is usually the best place to start. They have the experience and success rates of helping people who have been in your shoes. There are a wide range of career coaches/counselors out there so make sure when you are looking for one to do your homework. Here are some sample questions: ⢠How long have you been a coach? ⢠What is your success rate? ⢠Do you have references I can speak with? (If they are hesitant about this one that is not a good sign) ⢠Do you offer a complimentary consultation where I can get to know you and your style to see if weâd be a fit? ⢠How long does this process usually take? If career coaching is something youâd like to look further into, contact me or check out our career coaching services to figure out what is right for you. Career Seeker Tips
