State of Affairs

• Your candidates are searching for employment in the most complex, rapidly changing job market in history

Definition of insanity…

State of Affairs

• Your (old school) resume is being replaced by your (new school) on line profile as hiring authorities can now gain instant access to your skills, hobbies, number of connections, who you associate with and even what you look like

• Telephone background checks are being replaced by sophisticated web based programs that can eliminate you based on key words or the quality of your social media brand

• The traditional in person interview is being replaced by on-line video screening where you can literally be on one continent…and the interviewer on another

• Published ads have been replaced by sophisticated key word search internet job boards

• With information so readily available via search engines, you are expected to be an expert on your potential employer like never before

Old School VS New School

Importance of Mindset

• There is a lot of discussion around emotional intelligence (or EQ) in the workplace today and with good reason. EQ, as opposed to IQ, measures your ability to relate favorably to others. The good news is that while IQ is determined by the time you are a teenager, EQ can be enhanced over your entire life.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

Employers hire candidates based on emotional intelligence competencies like confidence, poise, leadership and the ability to be proactive.

They often reject candidates who don’t display these attributes. Studies show that EQ impacts performance, productivity and job success.

Why is EQ important?

What brand are you?

Branding…When you hear Nike, you think, Just do it when you see a Subway, you say Eat Fresh…now try this…when someone hears your name…what is the very first thing, word or image that comes to mind? By the time this course is over, you will have a powerful response.

Differentiation

Your mindset is to be CEO of YOU, INC. You are your own personal services corporation.  In reality, everybody is really self-employed. The top advisors teach their students, no matter what their choice of field, to think of their job as an individual responsibility, which contributes to a larger organizational mission.  

CEO of YOU, Inc.

THAT IS THE QUESTION…

To mandate or not to mandate?
