It’s Not About The Job; It’s About Your Life!
By Ford R. Myers,
President of Career Potential, LLC
When it comes to job search and career development, I think 99% of the population has it wrong and “does it backwards.” This realization comes from my more than 20 years of experience as a Career Coach, and after working with literally thousands of clients.
Looking back, I believe that this opinion has been developing in my mind for many years. But it was only recently that my thoughts crystallized into a form that I could express in a succinct message.
New clients often feel anxious about their career situations, and express a great sense of urgency or even panic about finding a new job quickly. Their focus is almost always on the JOB – “I need a new job; I have to get a job fast; Please help me land a better job now,” etc. While I understand this experience, I always try to shift the focus of the conversation to other, more important questions. You might ask, “For a person in career transition or out of work, what could be more important than quickly finding a new job?”
You’re Invited – Two Career Success Events – November 2015
Event #1 – Wednesday, November 4, 2015
Topic: Salary Negotiation: The Rules Of The Game
Time: 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Location: Berwyn Fire Company, PA
Investment: Free!
Why is it that people have such a difficult time successfully negotiating their compensation? The reason we can’t or won’t negotiate is not because we’re incapable of doing so, but rather because we just don’t know how! No one ever taught us “the rules of the game!” For the purposes of this presentation, we look at negotiation as a game. And as with any game, we can’t win if we don’t know the rules.
Event #2 – Wednesday, November 18, 2015
Topic: How to Stand-Out in a Very Competitive Job Market
Time: 10:00am to 12:30pm
Location: Radnor Financial Center, Radnor, PA
Investment: $25.00
The subtle differences in every step of the job search process determine who ultimately lands the job and who does not. This is especially true in a bad economy, when unemployment is high and the job market is so competitive.
This seminar will show you how to stand-out as the candidate of choice, and get the offer!
