I work with job seekers in many different fields.
You all are an impressive bunch! You have helped your companies make massive shifts by solving complex problems, unclogging sluggish systems, and making new and fruitful business relationships.
I find working with you delightful and fascinating. You have what it takes to achieve your goals.
But there’s one area where many of you are blind:
You don’t connect the dots between your genius in your field and the job-search process.
Here’s what I mean.
I recently worked with a public relations specialist who was not getting traction with her applications. As we proceeded through our conversation about what she had achieved so far in her career, she focused on the various duties she had been assigned and how she had completed them successfully.
I pushed her to think about how her work helped her employers and their clients.
Then I asked her to consider something else: What if her job search were a PR campaign? What elements would she emphasize? What would she track to keep herself on target? What would her message be?
