Jeff Altman, Big Game Hunter
In most cases, I focus on helping job seekers correct their mistakes when managing job searches to find a job. But this is the battle most people face every few years.
Career management is your lifelong responsibility to yourself and to the board of directors (your family). Unless you take it seriously, your career will be in a difficult position with work to work without pre-planning or planning. You may succeed, but it is by chance, not by design.
Here are some of the errors I saw when I was managing a career:
1. Never think about the “big picture”
Do you have an idea about the work you want to accomplish in your career? Have you told yourself that you want to be a C-level executive and you can never find what it takes to achieve your goal?
Talk to someone who has played what you do and the price to get there (yes, there is a price to achieve your goal)
2. Not implemented
I’ve kept a great idea for years and did nothing to implement them. I’m afraid of making mistakes. The courage started to write electronic Zine regularly, write my first book, make videos, get myself interviewed on TV, and shoot cable TV shows pilots (not picked up). Once I start doing the first thing, I have more ideas and then it’s easier to do it.
I think there are few “safe jobs” or careers. adventure! experiment. Very well done, not ordinary.
3. Don’t invest in your career
Life is expensive, but it is more expensive not to invest in yourself, as this may give you more opportunities for satisfaction and money. Take classes regularly; learn to do things you are not good now. You’ll be better at grabbing them and removing excuses for why you and your employer aren’t ready yet.
4. Not prepared. . . Oops
We will never be ready when we play a new role, but if we complete the assignment, we will succeed and bring attention to us “strengthen.” Positive attention will bring you closer to your ultimate goal.
5. Disrespectful to recruiters
In most cases, when we contact you, it’s because you sent us a resume and put it on the job board where we found it (after all, you announced you’re looking for a job), or because your experience might be suitable for a position available that can pay more (yes, sometimes we’ll look for recommendations, but most of our attempts are for my site reasons).
Sometimes recruiters make mistakes. Sometimes we catch you at the wrong time. It happened. If they were the last candidate to do a specific type of work, I would never be helpful because they believed they had the right to blame me by trying to help them achieve what they said through the actions they wanted me to do. Be polite in all your transactions, especially in search companies.
6. Underestimated myself
You may not be worth more than someone with a PhD at a particular university, but you may be worth more than your manager tells you.
If you change jobs twice in 5 years (assuming your third and fifth years) and earn $10,000 per change job, you will earn more than $70,000 in those five years than you earn in your current company. Can you afford it?
7. Avoid public speaking
Standing in front of the audience, speaking is just another skill. Great public speakers are so practiced that they seem to be saying “cuffs.”
If you feel uncomfortable speaking in front of your audience, find a meeting with Toastmaster where you live or work and overcome your fears
8. Don’t use technology to get to your advantage
LinkedIn is an obvious place to build your presence (I have a guide, “LinkedIn Job Success Becomes Easy”, which will help. You can also read “Find Me: LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, and Social Networks for Job Success”). It can be said that LinkedIn is an excellent place to build your professional social network. In Europe, it is Xing. Google+ is also good.
You can also set up a WordPress blog very cheaply on any number of web hosts, create videos for YouTube (and then post them to your blog or LinkedIn. All this helps create Aura about you as a leader.
9. Don’t ask what you want
In your marriage or relationship with a partner, do you or they seem to think that one of the people should be able to read the other person’s thoughts because you love them, what they really mean or want?
Many people expect their managers to read their thoughts and give them what they want without telling them. Along the way, you need to tell people what you are working on and what they can do to help you get there.
And, if they don’t give you, please use the information that they provide you with nothing and change your situation.
10. No risk
This may seem strange, but not taking risks is the most dangerous thing you can do. After all, believing that someone else or some huge company will take care of your interests wisely, and your family and career interests are a proven failure strategy. However, people continue to make this mistake, like slaughtered sheep.
