Job Seekers – good news

Friday, July 31st, 2009

More and more of my work is now involving job seekers. To find and get the right job, it starts by knowing yourself. Be able to answer these three statements, then present them on your resume, and you’ll stand out.
1. Here is what I am great at and passionate about doing. (My talents and how I fit)
2. Here is how I use what I am great at. (How I perform)
3. Here is how I made/make a difference. (How I add value)

Hiring managers want to know these three things; moreover, they want to see that you know what you are great at, what you are passionate about, how you use what you are great at in the workplace, and how it all creates value. Provide this, you’ll stand out and get hired. See the full resource above for more information.

Talents, Performance, Fit and Value

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Hiring managers need help from job seekers; they want job seekers to understand what a hiring manager must have to properly determine job seeker fit for a job. They don’t want resumes on colored paper, movie tickets, pictures of yourself, offers to wash their car or babysit their kids. Instead, what they need most is a resume that presents your talents, performance, fit and value. That gives them what they need to make the right decision. That is all they want.

Hiring managers – demand what you need from job seekers. Require them to submit the new talent-based resume (see the new format above under the Job Seeker link). This makes your job easier, clearer and more conclusive. It requires them to send you a resume with the critical information you need to make a good decision. This improves your ability of hiring the right employee and to fire the employee up!

“Stand Out and Get Hired” – my new resource to help job seekers define their talents, determine which jobs need their talents and create a powerful talent-based resume to apply for jobs that are a good fit – will be available in the next two weeks on this site. Stay tuned – and get your copy. This will make job seekers’ and hiring managers’ lives easier.

In many areas of the country there is a supply of employed talent. Many organizations now have a greater choice to fill openings or realign. But wait – you first need to know what you need. Learn how to create a Talent Matrix – a one page profile of the talents, skills and experience you need (presented in Fire Up! Your Employees). This means you need to know how to assess applicants for talents and how to define the talents needed in each job. Define it up front and the interview process is easy – you know specifically what you need and you can easily match your needs to the attributes you find in your applicants. Hiring made simple.

Talents are the key to hiring the right employee or for job seekers to apply for and get the right job. Fire Up! makes it easy with the Talent and Thinking Style Assessment for MANAGERS to learn how to assess employees’ talents (click on Talent and Thinking Style Assessment above) and for JOB SEEKERS (click on the link above) to learn how to assess your talents. For managers, once you know the talents of your employees and the talents needed in each role in the organization, you can locate and hire employees who are a good fit. And if you are a job seeker, once you know your talents, you can better define the kinds of roles and responsibilities that are line with your thinking and will lead to greater performance and ultimately greater success. So to hire the right employee, or to apply for the right job, be sure you know talents. Use these tools…choose a job that is a good fit for you or for your employees; then you and your employees will become MAXperformers.
