They feel a little lost and nervous about it because when it comes to career, it is hard to know which step is right and which is not.

In order to create a successful career, you should first know your inner thoughts and beliefs. You have find out what you are good at, what you enjoy doing, which are the things that matter to you in life and what motivates you.

Let’s do the math.

• Fewer jobs.
• More applicants.
• Should = some changes in how you go about marketing yourself

Because I have been through a few downturns of hiring cycles, I can tell you from experience how hiring executives think when it comes to either filling an existing role with a new person or opening up a new role. They want either:

• The perfect candidate. One that exactly meets the requirements. No risk in the resume.
• Or, someone who can wear several hats at once. This person needs to meet the requirements of the core role, but be able to play more than one position. More bang for the hiring buck.

So, here is where your focus should be, if you are at all exploring or actively searching for that next role.

1. Develop a target, or a few targets. Types of role in a certain type of organization. This might be based on where you are most hirable or what you want to do next.
2. Define your value proposition for those targets. Why you and not the hundreds of other people that would like this job?
3. Ensure that your resume, cover letter and other marketing materials represent a compelling, attractive and credible case for your candidacy.
4. Work on your verbal presentation so that when you have those conversations, you are able to get them interested in you and your offering. That includes networking conversations and formal interviewing. There are too many tips to get into in this post. My general observation over the years has been that most people, no matter how senior they are in their profession, aren’t as good as they think they are at the interviewing conversation.
5. Focus your attentions on:
   • The opportunities that fit within your target buckets. Apply to opportunities where you truly are a fit. Where your value proposition aligns. Ignore the others.
   • The relationships and networks that support you finding opportunities and becoming known in your target areas.
   • The activities that generate the above.

Back to the math. You need to do what you can to improve the odds on that equation. In addition to our existing services, I am about to announce some new solutions that address head-on this climate that we are in right now. More later.

Here are some familiar words for users of LinkedIn.com…

I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn. 

Nine times out of ten, the LinkedIn connection invitations I receive come with the default text above. Granted, it is the fastest way of sending invitations. And when you and I know each other well, perhaps no more is needed. 

For everyone else - loose connections, a person I met once long ago, or strangers, it will not do. 

Give me some context, please. Why would you like to connect? What can I expect from our connection? 

There are two really important reasons to give some context.

Resume Boot CampHere is some decisive action as a follow-up to my post last week.

Resume Boot Camp is a new program I have designed and configured for those of you who have put some hard work into your resume but would like to validate / check / fine-tune your document. This is a fast and cost-effective way to ensure your Resume is prime-time ready.

The first Resume Boot Camp starts this Thursday, April 23 and runs to Tuesday the 28th. The next Resume Boot Camp will begin in early May.  

My website is hosted on the very cool Squarespace platform and I can’t say enough about the folks behind it. Interestingly, the Squarespace folks posted what I thought was something noteworthy. It seems that they have just hired someone, a web developer / designer / blogger / twitterer,  by the name of Jonathan Snook, and well, they are pretty excited about it. Apparently, this is something they have been trying to make happen for quite some time. And now, he is on board. 

Think about it for a second. Shouldn’t we all aim to be this wanted and welcomed when we sell or loan our talent to someone new?

I have met my inner enemies and they are perfection and complexity.

For too long, I have been intending to send you new newsletters, and blog more, and announce new offerings to help with your career management, job search, career change and personal branding goals. And then I get stuck. Since the How to Manage your Career in Scary Times report, not a lot of activity. Like you, I have obligations that I can easily use an an excuse. In my case, there is always a core group of 1-1 clients working with me through their career transitions and personal branding efforts.

That isn’t good enough for me. Every time I speak to an audience, publish something or engage 1-1 with a client, I generate a Wow reaction. And that feels great. But I have a need to reach and serve more of you. In my case, my real enemies are perfection and complexity. I want things to be perfect for you. And I make things too complex. And this holds me back from sharing my expertise and passion and caring to you and a wider audience.

So, no more. It is time to play a bigger game.

Responding to Market Forces
In this kind of economy, there is a strong tendency to go small. And to hide. I don’t want to do that. Speed, simplicity and value trump perfection and complexity. So, I am going to go Big. I have always liked the play a bigger game metaphor. It says something to me about raising my level of play (including my tennis game).

Ian clearly strives for excellence in his dealings with his client base. He has a solid grasp on executive advancement issues and technology and is a very personable coach. His unique gift is his ability to transfer his vast knowledge and insight to another individual with the true spirit of a teacher.

I am delighted to have birthed the new site. This is on the Squarespace platform, and so far, I am very happy with their service and tools.

There will be a few hiccups as we roll out…

• New pages
• A Free member’s area
• Client zones
• and more

Also, beginning next week, I will have a special download for you. Some tips on how to weather and thrive in these uncertain economic times.

Until then, thanks for tuning in.
