Cynopsis: Classified Advantage
08/09/11

Good morning – it’s Tuesday, August 9, 2011, and this is your weekly issue of Cyn opsis: Classified Advantage! 

I know a very attractive woman, who has a 12 year old daughter, and lives in an old school house.  Though small, the house is beautiful and decorated in a uniquely fascinating manner.  It is a beautiful home, one she is about to lose.

I’ve been lucky enough to have dinner at her place on occasion and I noticed something that struck me as very odd, even a little disturbing, one night at her house.

This smart, articulate woman had painted a quote on her kitchen wall, “If you ask for it,  you will receive it.”

I found this saying off putting for several reasons – the most being the lack of responsibility implied.

Again, this woman is very attractive and I have no doubt that men in her past have lined up to give her things, and not just because of her looks, but she is also very smart and articulate. 

But when the rest of the country took a hit in 2008, so did she.  She lost her job, taking part time jobs to pay the bills.  Vacations, even weekend getaways, were no longer possible.  She had to tell her daughter that for the first time in six years, she would not be going to summer camp.

She is currently moving out of her house, the bank is foreclosing, and she’s moving into a mobile home.

This is not a lazy or stupid person.  Nor is her situation rare.  Five years ago, things were so good that people with jobs didn’t have economic worries and many bought homes they could barely afford.  Sent the kids off to private schools, we spent like all we had to do was ask, and we would receive.

My Dad grew up in the throws of the great depression.  He worked from a very young age and 90% of his paycheck went to the family for food and rent.  It may sound tough to imagine, but it wasn’t for him, it was all he had known.

My brother and sisters never wanted for food or clothing, and though my Dad was very successful in the advertising business, he never spoiled us.  We all had chores and there was no allowance.   He paid for our college tuition only if we agreed to do the same with our kids.  He let us know, that no matter how great things are, there are no free lunches in this world, and people like my lovely friend are just learning this lesson.

So thanks Dad for never allowing us to take too much for granted and for making us work hard for what we wanted.  Not allowing us to spend like there was no tomorrow and making sure we knew there would be bad times along with the good ones.  We might not have jets skis, but we all have our houses.

I don’t mean to sound insensitive to my friend’s situation, but she, like so many, thought that things would keep getting better.  That a second mortgage on the house was a great way to get a new car and if your credit cards are maxed out, just apply for another.

There will be another generation who grows up in nothing but prosperity soon, let’s teach them a lesson that some parents and seemingly all politicians have forgotten.  It’s okay to have fun today, but only after you’ve planned for tomorrow.

Next Issue:  You can be afraid, just don’t act afraid.

We are always on the look out for more Experts to advise our readers – if you’re a headhunter, job coach, career advisor, etc., and may be interested in contributing to this edition from time to time, please contact me at [email protected] .

I paid a rare visit to a McDonalds recently where I ordered a Southern Style Chicken Sandwich and sat to refuel myself at a table with parking lot view. (My apologies to all my former Burger King advertising colleagues.)   Opening the clamshell box I read the following text repeated over and over again:  “You’re about to enjoy a juicy, flavorful chicken eating experience.”

So while I did not want to think too hard about “chicken eating experiences,”  what I did think is  “oh that is smart”.  They have framed my approach to the sandwich.  I know what to expect, I know what to look out for.  And I already have the words to describe it to my friends if I choose to enthuse about it.  This is a classic presentation technique: tell them what to expect, then give them the experience and then tell them what just happened. 

Think of all this in the context of telling your own story.  You are trying to get someone to read your resume or see your pitch.  You want them to understand immediately why they should care and what they should think about you  even before they read it.  So that when they do read it they go  “ah this is just what I expected”.  And then of course you deliver. You are in control of your message and they don’t have to figure it out for themselves.

If you have done this effectively, not only will they will be thinking what you want them to think, but now they have a ready made set of words to pass your story on: the words that you put in their mouths.

This is most important as so many opportunities come not directly from your inner circle of contacts, but from their circles of contacts; from people who are one step removed from you.  Your inner circle probably knows you too well and has too much baggage associated with you to hire you themselves; but they like you and want you to succeed so they are happy to refer you onwards. 

With the words you have given them they’ll find it easier to match you when the appropriate opportunity presents itself to them.  And they can use the story you gave them.  You are now not just someone looking for a job, but you are now “a juicy flavorful chicken experience” or whatever are the words you fed them about yourself that they have saved for passing on.

I just got a new supervisor, and he wants me to be honest with him about any gripes I may have about the job. How honest should I be? I hardly know the guy. Is it possible he is just looking for complainers by asking this question?

Be honest, but be careful.  Is he just looking for complainers?  Maybe.  Is he looking to discover the opportunities that his predecessor may have missed?  Almost certainly.  Is he looking to learn what he can about the people he has been handed.  Absolutely.

So be aware of all this.  Don’t be a complainer. Make it a forward-looking conversation. Ask him what his observation has been in the short time he has been on the job.  Ask him what his goals are for the group. Be supportive of his ideas.

Suggest improvements if you think they are valid  these should be presented as constructive ideas and not as gripes.  You should indicate that you are there for him. And be very very careful not to be disrespectful of your old boss, his predecessor. 

I see women workers changing their shoes when they get to work and when they leave all the time. Is this something that men can do too without it being considered strange? I’d love to wear my sneakers to work and lunch and the walk home, is it okay to change into them at the office or is this a women only thing?

I say it is fine to do whatever makes you comfortable – and feel free to quote me on that.  If this has been a gender thing, then maybe women have been ahead of the curve (again!) and there’s no reason they should keep this to themselves.
 
There is an admirable trend in new office design to incorporate bike rooms and showers so that people can be getting exercise as they come to work instead of sitting idly in traffic or on the train  and your walking fits in nicely with that. 

If you have to talk about it, make a virtue of it:  “I have been getting exercise while you were sitting around!”  But maybe another thing to look at is whether you could just get more comfortable work shoes.  There are dress shoes nowadays with walkable sneaker-like comfort – take a look at them as another way to go that could save having to manage two pairs.
