Yesterday was our son's birthday--16 years old. On Friday night after school, we drove to Greenville, SC for dinner and for a performance of "The Book of Mormon." Whatta hoot!

We got back late and I was up the next day to do my podcasts for the week when I spilled a glass of water on my laptop. It is away being repaired (fortunately my data is in Dropbox) but I will still have to work with my old XP computer and old verions of Office until it returns.

Suffice it to say, I am thrilled!

Passive Job Applicants? Yeah, Right. Sure. Bull~!
 
As someone who helped to create this myth more than 30 years ago when mass advertising meant running an ad in a local newspaper, what may be a passive candidate to you who does not use a job board but may have been introduced to someone through a referral or contacted them through LinkedIn, may actually (heaven forbid!) be an active applicant with a resume on a job board. How do you figure out which category they are in?
Back in the Stone Ages when some of us didn't want top invest in an advertising budget, we would tell our clients that we didn't just try to find the best person who happened to read an ad on Sunday, but the best person available. Sound familiar?


Thinking of a Career Change?
 
One of the best things to do if you are considering a career change is take one of the behavioral tests that have been created to help you identify some of the environments in which you excel.

One of the best I have found is CoreMap as administered by my friend, Bruce Chodosh. What CoreMap does is provide an analysis of natural and conditioned traits, development levels of essential competencies, emotional intelligence, coping patterns, which behaviors create stress and which motivate and energize, are all presented in one unified system. 

The result is to provide you with guidance as to certain types of careers in which you would excel. It does not mean you be an instant excess. It does mean that you, as a person who draw your best energy doing this type of work.

If you would like to take the CoreMap test, email Bruce and mention my name. In addition to the test, Bruce will walk you through a post-assessment conversation to see where you really fit.


AND


If you would like to enter coaching with me of someone else, a time saver for general coaching is the Success GPS tool that Bruce offers very inexpensively.

Again, mention my name when you contact him and, afterwards, contact me if you would loike me to coach you.

I have decided that my job search coaching is best geared toward executive job search coaching. If you are interested or know someone at a senior level whose job search is stuck, message me or have them reach out to me by email at  


JobSearchCoachingHQ.com is now my path for non-executives to get advice from me. In addition to the best of my info online, people can ask me questions about their search as part of their membership.

I also do leadership coaching helping small groups "play to win" and individual managers be more effective.
