Every week you'll hear from me on strategies that will set you apart in how you approach your
career search that result in more interviews and offers.
No matter the stage of your career (early, mid or late) the
barriers to begin a search and the mindset challenges can hold you back. Without clarity, a brew of emotions and confusion take over, but when you boil it down to a simple formula, there are 3 shifts that can provide a solid path.
I've seen this happen in 2 recent client cases when there was a focus on executing the 3 shifts described below. It was a turning point that opened a plethora of long term executive roles.
3 CAREER SEARCH SHIFTS...
1. STOP APPLYING TO JOBS, START NETWORKING RIGHT
This is a MINDSET SHIFT. You are an executive leader and have many connections you’ve met over the years, so BEGIN WITH POSITIONING YOURSELF as a high value executive at the get-go.
YOU HAVE MANY GOOD RELATIONSHIPS---Why would you apply online when
you’ve spent YEARS developing your network of colleagues and peers that know what you do so well?
LEVERAGE those relationships in a way that benefits both of you. THE FORMULA LIES IN HOW AND WHAT YOU COMMUNICATE!
2. KNOW YOUR VALUE AND IMPACT
Do your homework on yourself to define your “secret sauce” and the impacts you’ve made.
Most executives (and your competition) don’t have this information on the tip of their tongues! When
you can deliver your value naturally (and that takes practice), you'll win.
Your VALUE AND IMPACT show up everywhere you do---in what you say, how you say it, and even what you’re wearing that day for the networking conversation or the interview!
Everything you do and say reveals either the "smoke and mirrors" of leadership or your authentic display as an executive leader.
Communicate as a leader to a leader:
What impact can you make for your connection, the hiring manager and the company?
Research so you can propose the impact you can make to solve their challenges and support their culture.
Share stories that exemplify your value.
You can set yourself up for a stellar position and be invited to meet other leadership members in the company to find hidden opportunities inside.
When we partner in your career search, you'll find the right role faster and generate a lot of career activity so you have choices.
