Some Jobs Sound Too Good To Be True

Look After Yourself By Doing Due Diligence

We can all suffer from Fear of Missing Out or #FOMO when searching for a job.

We fear we might be missing out if we don’t chase down every lead.

Or maybe we think that out-of-the-blue offer shows our unique gifts have been recognised at last.

That kind of magical thinking can leave us open to #scammers who want our attention, personal data, or money.

Here’s a reminder about practising due diligence and keeping safe during job search activity.

Preparing For Job Search And Interview Success

Success Comes About After We Take Regular Action Steps

It can feel overwhelming to realise it is time to change jobs.

Overcoming overwhelm sets us free to undertake job searches effectively..

But where do we start?

First, it helps to break the change process down into manageable pieces.

It then feels easier to manage the first and subsequent steps.

Here is a #Youtubeshort containing a reminder about the key parts of the job change process.

Consider The Job Choice Closest To Your Goal

There are several options after receiving feedback following a great job interview

After planning our next career step and performing well at an interview we might earn an opportunity to be of greater service. We then have a choice:

  • Accept the employers’ offer (it is exactly what you wanted).
  • Decline the employers’ offer (you know you can do better).
  • Learn why there was no offer and take action to improve interview performance (if you simply hear nothing back they aren’t a reliable employer).

Here’s a YouTube Short reminding us that it takes time to ensure we are making the right choice (the one closest to our goal). Please leave a Like if this reminder is helpful.

How To Perform Well At Interview

Performing well in interviews involves effective planning and preparation for the big day

Our performance during a job interview reflects our hard work in planning our career and preparing for our moment in the spotlight.

The interview involves us talking about how we solve even the trickiest customer problems; what our team-working skills are like; and where our skills will benefit the organisation.

Here’s an illustration of how the planning, preparation, performance process works. Feel free to Like and Share if this video helps you.

Doing Better At Your Next Job Interview

Go online, learn about the organisation, the challenges they face and how you are well placed to solve their problems. Remember, they will search you out on social media too, so think about your presence there.

This quick reminder spotlights the importance of preparing to answer interview questions which show just how talented you are.

How Does Planning Promote Success

When It Comes To Having Career Goals…

A Short Reminder There Are No Age Limits To Career Development

National Careers Week – #NCW2024 – is pitched towards young people at the start of their working life. But career development is a life-long option.

We can always take the initiative and, focus on building on our skills, using our experience and pursuing new job goals.  

It helps if advertisers are aware of and respond to inequalities within the jobs market. In that way everyone is able to compete for opportunities in a fair way.

How Self-Awareness Shapes Or Goals

Our career aspirations can be shaped by self-awareness

The key to #change is taking #action to reach our #goal.

Almost twenty years after Steve Jobs’ 2005 commencement speech at #Stanford, his words remind us that – where our working lives are concerned – we already know what we truly want to become.

How Christmas And Charisma Go Together

As Christmas and the new year get closer, we could do worse than think about the future.

In the short-term there will be parties and socials where our people skills are put to the test. After all, social gatherings can bring out the worst in people.

In those settings our charisma or #rizz helps us get out point across and listen, respectfully, to others’ views. We can remain happy even if the atmosphere gets heated.

In January we will be going after a new set of goals. We might have to work with new people and influence their actions to get something done on our behalf. Charisma will be important in this area too.

So, this holiday season we can all practice using our people skills and see what value we can add to work, or play, by using our charisma.

Why not give it a try and leave a comment about how you got on.
