Can Tim Repurpose His Career Part 1 of 4 [Podcast] - Career Pivot
Can Tim Repurpose His Career Part 1 of 4 [Podcast] - Career Pivot Episode 48 â" Marc works with Tim (not his real name) and takes him through the CareerPivot evaluation process, based on the Birkman Assessment. Description: Copyright: meinzahn / 123RF Stock PhotoIn this episode, Marc shares Part 1 of 4 parts of the CareerPivot evaluation process. This is the first half of the feedback session, where Marc helps Tim understand his interpersonal and social strengths and needs. Tim shares office stories that illustrate his strengths and stresses. Key Takeaways: [1:36] Tim is a 50-year-old guy who has been stair-stepping himself out of a career and building a business on the side. Last month he got laid off, which is his trigger to take action. This episode will cover Timâs Birkman interests and interpersonal behaviors. Listen to the episode first, and then download the reports and listen to it again. Download Link |iTunes|Stitcher Radio|Google Podcast|Podbean|TuneIn|Overcast [2:37] Tim gives his first thoughts after reading the report. He agrees with the vast majority of it but found a few things that surprised him. Marc does not use the job titles and families category because the jobs of five years ago are changed or gone, and the jobs of five years in the future do not exist yet. Jobs are changing quickly. [5:46] Tim pulls up his profile to follow along with Marc. Marc first covers Areas of Interest, which are not necessarily skills. The scores are 1 to 99. Todayâs discussion is on these components: Effective Behavior, Needs, Normative Pattern, Acceptance, and Organizational Focus. Timâs Organization Focus is âGet âer done,â and Tim agrees. [9:15] Marc explains Timâs circumstances prior to the call. They will discuss whether the side gig Tim is working is right for him. The Key will be to pick the right clients, and the clients he will not want to work with. [10:45] Interests with Basic Colors measures interests. Tim scores high on Mechanical, which means he is a puzzle solver. Tim has a podcast, and he is very fastidious about editing it. Solving problems gives him energy. His hobby is carpentry. Marc says when he is stressed or tired, Tim should do what he likes to do. He should add it to his business. [13:13] Understand what you like to do and are good at; everything else â" outsource. Tim comes up 72 in Persuasive, which means he likes convincing people. Marc applies this to Timâs teaching and becoming a subject matter expert. He is in the middle in Scientific, so he likes research. He also likes music. [15:11] Tim is low on Social Service and Office Professional. Tim doesnât like other peopleâs rules, but he is OK with rules that he makes up.Tim reflects on his previous job and the things he disliked there. Marc says Tim is a borderline Structured Anarchist. [16:55] Tim is not very numerical. He can do his bookkeeping, but it is not a favored activity. One of the key differences between talents and skills is that we can develop skills in things not tied to innate talents, but even if we excel at them, overuse leads to burnout. [18:25] Tim examines his behavior matrix, that Marc creates. There are four behaviors: Interpersonal, Organizational (structure, authority, and change), Time Management, and Planning (big decision-making); and two attitude boxes: Freedom (wanting to stand out) and Challenge (ego). Tim is low on Challenge, which says he worries. [19:45] Tim needs to surround himself with positive people and find ways to feed his ego with enjoyable activities. [20:52] Respect for Issues and People. Tim deals with others with openness and frankness, and insight into their feelings. He is direct, without being blunt. Tim should not find a position where he needs to be directive. Others showing him respect and appreciation are important, and Tim is at his best when others are aware of his feelings. [25:21] Tim will need to be careful working with clients. If he has an abusive client, it is important to fire that client. Becoming a subject matter expert will get him respect. [26:02] Timâs Cause of Stress is the disconnect between his Interpersonal Needs and his Usual Style. This may make it hard for others to know his feelings, while he may suspect them of insensitivity. [27:02] Timâs Reactions to Stress are shyness, oversensitivity, and embarrassment. Tim recognizes these reactions in himself. Tim needs to learn to identify his reactions as they occur, so he can do something about them. [27:43] Timâs Most Effective Behavior makes him sociable, at ease in groups, and communicative. Timâs Need is to spend considerable time with himself or with one or two trusted individuals. He is a closet introvert. The key piece is that he is seen as social, but he needs his time alone. When he is with people, he needs their support. [32:23] Tim does not like all-day meetings, especially when they are for the sake of having a meeting. Pressure to be involved in social or group settings can upset his sense of well-being and cause withdrawal to a surprising degree. Marc suggests Tim should break for lunch and doing an enjoyable activity. These are restorative niches. [34:40] Tim recalls circumstances from his former job that allowed him to work partly at home, and only come to work at the office for spreadsheets. When his needs are not met, he withdraws, ignores the group, and becomes impatient. This happens in long meetings. [36:40] Tim is moderately competitive, determined and forceful. He believes others are more competitive. He gets frustrated when he is not recognized for accomplishment. Tim shares a success story from his last job, where he saved the company millions of dollars, but instead of praise, he got laid off. [39:01] Tim wants his strokes. In another episode Marc will discuss what that means. There is also financial reward, and verbal recognition. When did Tim feel the most valued at work, and what did they do? [40:22] Timâs Causes of Stress: not being informed, impracticality, or extreme idealism shown by others. Tim shares stresses he experienced from one boss. Timâs Stress Reactions:Over-emphasizing quick success, becoming opportunistic, self-promotion. There were times Tim used these tactics. [43:40] Need for Empathy, Dealing with Emotions, and Logic vs. Feelings: Tim can display emotion openly, but is usually low-key and matter-of-fact. He is practical, logical, and objective. Timâs need is for people to treat him with logic and objectivity, with a reasonable amount of sympathy for his feelings. He wants people to care about him. [46:15] People who are higher on the empathy scale tend to work better in an office with women. Tim may prefer to have some female clients. Timâs balance of practicality and sensitivity from others means that people who are too detached may cause him to magnify his own problems, while excessive emotionalism may cause him anxiety. [48:43] Timâs stress reaction is to detach or get discouraged. [49:29] Next episode will be the second half of the feedback session, covering organizational behaviors, time management, and attitudes.

How To Keep Your Top Remote Talent Engaged
How To Keep Your Top Remote Talent Engaged If you havenât already embraced the idea of remote talent for your business, it is only a matter of time before you will. As with hiring in-house employees, you need a hiring strategy to attract and retain top online workers. To learn more about building a strong online hiring strategy, I spoke with Nathan Hirsch, CEO of Freeeup. Nathan has built a powerful online hiring platform where you can find skilled and pre-vetted remote eCommerce specialists. Here are his top tips to find and retain the best online talent: Identify the Exact Workers You Need â" and Donât Settle There are a lot of people out there looking for work, and many of them are talented. But how do you know which worker is right for your business? How do you ensure you find the top talent? If you want the best of the best, identify exactly what capabilities you want and at what level you want that person to perform. Sometimes it is acceptable to have a jack of all trades and other times you need a specific skillset to move your business forward. Nathan says, âIf you want a top-notch team, the key is to diversify. Hire people with different skills than you have. If you donât know a lot about marketing, hire an all-star marketer. This is how strong teams are formed.â Whatever the skillset you need, identify the type of worker that meets your criteria. Ask yourself the following questions: What specific skills does my online worker need to be proficient in? How specialized does my online worker need to be in those skills? What training/qualifications/certifications does my online worker need to have? âDonât fall into the trap of hiring a single person to run your whole business,â Nathan explains. âWhen you properly identify the workers you need, you will have people who are better at what they do because they are focusing on one task instead of a hundred different things.â And once you identify what you need, donât settle for anything less. It can be tempting to hire someone without thoroughly vetting them, but remember that this new employee will represent your business and be directly tied to your success and bottom line. âSpend the required time to filter through the candidates and ensure you are hiring the exact worker you need or go through an online hiring platform that filters applicants for you,â suggests Nathan. Create Detailed Job Postings Describing Your Exact Talent Needs Once you have identified the type of workers you need for your company, fill out a prescriptive posting so that you attract the exact person you are looking for. The more detailed and clear your job posting is, the more competent candidates you will attract and the less confusion there will be during the interview process. Interview for Skills, Attitude, and Passion An applicant with five years of specific experience can easily overshadow an applicant with only one year. However, it is absolutely critical to recruit for more than just experience level. Attitude and future potential are equally important. Hard skills can be developed through proper training, but qualities such as passion, integrity, and motivation can neither be taught nor purchased. As the recruiter, you can spot a candidate with potential when their core values align with your own. A star performer can be cultivated if they have the right attitude and passion even if they donât have the desired amount of experience. During the interview, look for these signs that the applicants are well rounded: They are curious. They ask questions about your company and mission in addition to the specific job role. They have great attitudes. They have enthusiasm and want to be a part of something big. They can learn quickly. Ask applicants to demonstrate their problem-solving skills and learning ability by asking about their performance in previous experiences. Set Talent Expectations Up Front to Ensure Your Workers Are In It for the Long Run The last thing you want to do is hire someone who leaves shortly after beginning the new job; you lose time and money when this happens. Not only will you be left with an open gap in your business, but you will have to start the whole process over again. The best way to avoid this is to set clear expectations from the beginning. Everything from the job posting through the tendering of an offer should be honest and clear. If you are interested in using a remote workforce to help grow your business and allow you to focus your attention on important tasks, it is essential that you have a strong hiring strategy from the beginning.

Of course there are, but in general, a minimalist resume is similar to any other resume.Resumes are not meant to be used as a writing tool.

The professional resume is typically five pages long. It contains sections like names, contact information, educational background, and employment history. If you are able to accomplish all of these things on your own, and be sure that the hiring manager has no inkling of the fact that you wrote your own resume, then you are really well prepared.A professional resume is usually formatted in alphabetical order, and will generally start with the name of the company, followed by the first two to three digits of the last name. There is a space in b etween the names for one to two sentences, and the rest of the resume follows this format.The minimalist resume, which is also referred to as a business card resume, can be filled out as a standard resume, so long as you fill out everything. The 'contact information' portion, often referred to as the 'about me' section, should list the phone number, email address, and business website address. If the company does not require you to submit a portfolio of your work, this part of the resume can be omitted.Finally, the employment history is probably the most important part of a resume. In this section, you should list every job you have held, from entry level to management level positions. These jobs are listed chronologically.While we're listing the jobs, if you have held a specific job, include the job title, the year it was held, and its exact duties. The job titles should not be too long, as this could lose focus of the position you were considering.Resumes are meant to help you get a job. It's up to you to find a company that needs a worker.

Why Your Network Isnt Going To Help You - Work It Daily
Why Your Network Isnât Going To Help You - Work It Daily Fresh-faced graduates receive the same advice from every podium speech they hear before going up to the stage to pick up a piece of paper they spent four years earning and havenât started paying for: Do what you love, be happy, always wear sunscreen, and success is about building a network around you. What if your network isn't going to help you? QUIZ: What Kind Of Networker Are You? So, you go about building a network of friends, colleagues, old professors, or high school teachers. And of course, you gravitate towards like-minded folk. People in your industry or who have helped you understand that what youâre doing is what you want to do for the rest of your life. People who will remind you the degree that probably put you in debt for the at least the next fifteen years wasnât a waste of time. But then you hit a moment, three years down the line, or five, or maybe twenty. And you realize you arenât happy. This isnât what you wanted, and it took trying the career that youâre in for as long as you did for you to realize it. And sometimes that happens. Itâs in our nature to change. Sometimes that change is big, and the job we want and the job weâre in are two completely different things. And at that point, you need to scrap the majority of that network you spent years building to pursue something new and fresh. You need to build a new set of like-minded people in the career you want to go into. It may feel like youâre 23 and awkward all over again, but if this new career is what you want to do, the process is worth it. Build A New Network One of the greatest obstacles to changing careers - or change in general - is that we get trapped by the strictures of our social circle. That social circle includes your network. If youâre a lawyer, the network youâve built for yourself over the years undoubtedly includes other lawyers. The lawyers in your support system will probably ask you why in your right mind you wouldnât want to be a lawyer. They love it, so you should love it, too. You were happy a month ago - nobody can change their mind that quickly. And if youâre in a career that is tedious, mind-numbing, and dull, your support network will be even more vocally against your realization; misery loves company, after all. The people that youâve spent years spiderwebbing between canât help you learn, grow or understand life in your new career because they donât know it themselves and the knowledge they have is the same as yours: slim to none. You need to get away from the yes-men and parallel thinkers that your current network is made up of to find people in your field of interest and work with them. Your Old Network Knows Someone Youâre not quite starting at the bottom of the ladder when taking those steps towards a new career. Outside of delicious holiday dinners, this is one time your extended family can be quite helpful - that uncle who seems to know everyone will probably know someone who is in the industry you want to go into. And while you may need to scrap the people in your network, donât burn bridges. Their own network could put you in touch with the perfect person. Nothing will be of more help than talking to a real person who has firsthand experience in the profession that interests you. Ask around for anyone in your circle that knows someone - or knows someone who knows someone; use six degrees of separation to your advantage. You need to find a way into the industry any way you can. Attend any type of event related to that industry and let people know your intentions. As crazy as it may seem, tell anyone whoâll listen what you want to be doing in their industry. Donât hesitate to mention your own interest in what they do. While industry events can be extremely useful to you, blanket events like the ones put on by the local Chamber of Commerce are likely not worth your time - a lot of the foot traffic at those events are people who are doing nothing but selling themselves. Theyâre probably not interested in helping you out. Time is your new precious commodity. When working to break into a new industry, spending your time wisely is critical. Like in-person events, recognize that social networking sites can be massively helpful, but also a massive waste of time if not used well. Use the social network that works most effectively for your networking purposes, whether itâs Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, or something else entirely. Spend time researching people in your desired industry with whom you have something in common - did you attend the same university? Work for the same company in the past? Have the same babysitter growing up? Live in the same city? Be fearless and reach out to people whom you share a common link with. While it may feel like reaching out to a cold contact, common ground warms a connection quickly, and youâll have something to talk about in the beginning. During my unhappy career as a financial advisor for Wall Street giant Morgan Stanley, I went to an Indy car race and noticed that a former middle school classmate of my brother was racing in it. That second, I decided I would be working in the racing circuit someday and knew he would be my way in. I introduced myself, and exactly one year later, I was a P.R. Director in the Indy Racing League. Your Network Isnât About You These connections you build are your new network. Each relationship is intrinsically unstable at the beginning because you initiated it, asking for a favor. While asking for a favor is a way to build trust within your professional network, you need to strike a balance between give and take to maintain the relationship. When I met my new race car driver acquaintance, two weeks after our first meeting I drove all four hours from Tampa to Miami, and told him I just happened to be in town for work; I asked if heâd like to go have lunch. There was no work. I went there just to meet him. Eventually, a friendship grew and a few months later a working relationship started. While not everyone has the ability to drive eight hours in a day to create a nonthreatening situation and meet up with a person, smaller ways of creating balance in the relationship so you donât come across as a potential competitor are as effective. Things as simple as taking someone to lunch or buying them coffee are enough to make someone share their knowledge. People love talking about their successes and have great nostalgia for the lessons theyâve learned. Most importantly, listen - youâre not this personâs rival, youâre there to learn from them. You wonât learn anything while you speak, and most of your connections spend their days listening to other people. Be humble and grateful for the experiences theyâre sharing with you. Youâre building a network around you that will be invaluable through this career change and into your new career. Be the person that people want to help: respectful, humble, and confident. Create relationships not just for the immediate take but for the long term benefit to you both, and youâre on your way to a successful new career.
