5 Career Search Actions that Prove You're a Strategic Leader

Published: Thu, 01/18/24

Hello !

Executives that rely heavily on a resume to apply for career opportunities are sending the wrong message to hiring managers about their leadership skills.

Here's what you need to consider...

STRATEGIC BEHAVIOR

You know that a resume and online approach for job-finding is tactical, not strategic, right? You also know that only applying online and NOT leveraging your network is tactical, rather than strategic behavior.

The reality is that hiring managers measure you by your strategic actions, so if you are introduced by a professional you know in common, that is a positive sign that you are a strategist and a resourceful networker that shows up with an endorsement.

THE CAREER ECOSYSTEM

There are many elements to a career strategy. In addition to a resume that describes your expertise, value to business growth and experience, you need to deliver your messages through networking conversations, written communication, and interviews.

How you present yourself applies to every aspect of your career performance and during your pursuit to advance your career. Looking great on "paper" and failing in conversations and interviews thwarts success, leads to frustration and a long search.

Overall, how are you demonstrating strategic leadership in the career ecosystem? In addition to your resume, are you presenting strategic leadership in your:

OUTREACH: Reaching Out to your Network with confident communication skills.
CONVERSATIONS: that demonstrate your expertise and solutions for challenges.
INTRODUCTIONS to Key Decision-Makers that need your expertise.
INTERVIEWS that Turn into Offers.
INFLUENCE AND IMPACT that consistently promote your expertise.

You'll find more hidden opportunities and success when you show up as a strategist from the get-go by being prepared to deliver a confident presentation at every stage.

Planning the outcomes and navigating toward them will lead to ACTIONS THAT LAND OPPORTUNITIES and hiring managers will recognize that you are strategic when you get your career meetings through introductions and referrals.
