CNM ONLINE - "Stop Playing Defense in Your Job Search"

Unfortunately, many accomplished professionals unintentionally approach their job search exactly that way.

• They spend a lot of time and energy worrying about how they will explain gaps in their background or address perceived weaknesses. 

• Their resume and LinkedIn profile list everything but the kitchen sink, instead of a focused presentation of the most critical elements.

• They avoid contacting their most valuable connections until they “are ready”.

• Networking conversations become cautious.

• Interviews become a series of answers to anticipated objections.

The most successful candidates approach the process very differently.

• They focus their attention and messaging on what they excel at, and don’t let potential perceived flaws distract them. 

• They come into every interaction with supreme confidence in what they bring to the table.

• They aren’t afraid to deeply explore an interviewer’s challenges, and then make a clear case for why they are the right person to solve them.

If your job search feels like you’re constantly responding to someone else’s agenda, John will show you how to take control of the narrative — and present yourself as the solution organizations are looking for.
