5 Points to Prepare for a New Career
An Executive Recruiter's View
More than 9 percent of Americans are pounding the pavement (or keyboard) looking for new employment. Many of you have seen a sizeable portion of their income and wealth vanish in a few short months. In times like this it is easy to forget that you are important and that you will add value to another organization again in the future. So how do you construct a viable thesis that accurately describes your talents, abilities, passions and unique expertise to a skeptical employment market?
It pays to do some challenging self-analysis and really define your thesis. Your goal is to settle on a credible and compelling message with which to engage employers. You will be more successful as a candidate if you are clear about what you bring to the table, and can convince the employer that you will translate your special talents into an effective team member. So after you have cried on a few shoulders, hoisted a few beers, and decompressed for a few days, you must start the process of reassessment and repositioning.
