Cynopsis: Classified Advantage

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, March 12, 2013, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!

~ACTIONABLE EXPERT ADVICE~
Hirability
by Michael Pollock

Everyone on both sides of the hiring equation today is super-connected and hyper-resourced. So, as Thomas Friedman points out in the NY Times, “every boss now has cheaper, easier, faster access to more above average software, automation, robotics, cheap labor and cheap genius than ever before.” 

In order to stand out as a dream hire, we each need to be able to demonstrate that we are well above the average hirability in our sector or niche. 

How do you do this? Dig out the nuggets in your work history that’ll make your case where it counts.  And bear in mind that if everyone is doing this, then that average above which we need to place yourself is always going to be a moving target. So keep your hirability story constantly refreshed by sharing your  passion and excitement about your work and where your field is headed. That’s what make you special -and will help maintain your above average status.

Friedman has put a catchy spin on this.  He’s named what he calls the Passion Quotient (PQ) and the Curiosity Quotient (CQ) and says they are becoming more important than the Intelligence Quotient (IQ). I wonder whether he read in Inc Magazine how John Mackey, Whole Foods CEO, came up with SyQ, which measures how different parts of a system interconnect.

So maybe you can quantify the fact that you’re above average….just as LinkedIn asks us to broadcast that we appear in the top 5% or 2% or 1% of their searches. Let’s call it our HiQ – your Hirability Quotient. Whether it has a Q number on it or not – our hirability is something which requires constant vigilance. So stay passionate and curious – you’ll reach your goal, in time.

~ASK THE EXPERTS~
Questions from our Readers
Answered by
Michael Pollock

Can a blog really help me get a job?

Yes, a blog can absolutely help, if it is smart and relevant.  It can help you be found in an online search.  It can showcase your thinking and writing skills.  It can frame your creative work and your insights.  It can feature your successes and your ideas on where your industry is headed.  Drive potential hirers to it from Twitter, G+, and FB. They can study it to get a deeper sense of you when they have already found your profile on LinkedIn and want to learn if you are right for the task and for their company. They might even engage with its content over time so that you will be on top of mind when an appropriate vacancy occurs.  If well done, a blog can be enormously helpful.

How can I re-invigorate myself in a job I have no more interest in?

Here are some ideas: Try to recapture what attracted you to it in the first place – perhaps this has gotten lost in the weeds. Look around for another project or position within your company that will provide you with challenge or stimulation – get close to the right people and segue yourself into that place.  Explore professional development opportunities offered by your employers – or figure out what studies you might take on your own to raise your chops to a place where you can get pumped again. Figure out what your next career move should be and find the element in your current situation that you can use to boost your qualifications for moving in that direction – this will give you new motivation to put your back into something and find a positive flow.
