Cynopsis: Classified

 

Advantage

03/15/11

Good morning – it’s Tuesday, March 15, 2011, and this is your weekly issue of Cyn opsis: Classified Advantage! 

A friend and I went to an Irish bar last Thursday night, one week prior to St. Patrick’s Day.  Too many amateurs out on the real St. Patrick’s Day.  The bartender was a young man about to graduate college with a degree in advanced finances.  Throughout the night we got to know our bartender, and my friend and I both determined that this was a nice, hard working kid, and if possible, we would help him.  I asked the bartender if he was going into finances to make money, he said no, he wanted to help clean up this mess we all find ourselves in. 

I have another friend who is an excellent money manager and one of the most honest people I know.  So I told the bartender that I would set up a lunch between the three of us, and for an hour, the bartender could pick the money manager’s brain about the finance industry.  The bartender was thrilled.

The money manager was free the following Monday at 1p.  I emailed the bartender and this is the actual response I got:

Hey John,

Thank you for following up and talking to Mr. H; unfortunately I have class on Mondays at 1pm and I am not able to miss it.

If you wouldn’t mind, I would really appreciate it if you could forward my attached resume to Mr. H. This way he can see if he has a void I can help him fill, and we can set up a future sit-down to discuss possibilities.

I would like to thank you again for taking the time to talk to Mr. H on my behalf.

Dave

Saddened, but hopeful that I could still help this young man, I sent this in return:

Dave,

Though your response was polite and professional, my offer was for you to gather real world information from a very qualified person within your chosen field. Instead, you asked for a job. Now Mr. H has no further interest in talking to you, and some of the few things you have missed out on are; time spent with a real professional, a contact for the future, networking possibilities, and guidance on probable pitfalls that lay ahead.

Dave, you put people on the spot when they offer their time to you, and instead, you ask for a job. Believe me, if they want to hire you after the talk, they will ask.

I hope you understand this situation and don’t let it happen again. You seem like a real good guy and a hard worker and I have no doubt that you will do well in whatever you choose to do. I also hope this has been a valuable lesson.

Good luck on St. Patrick’s Day,

John

To Dave and Everyone else, Beannachtai na Feile Padraig oraibh!

Next Issue:  The Mid Career Conversion

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] .

Let’s face it: It has been a tough economic recession and with companies continuing to downsize it can be difficult to have a positive attitude. You are doing more with less, you are stressed and you are not always feeling your best. It is said that it takes more energy to be upbeat and positive then it does to be cranky and negative. Given the times it may be a challenge, but being more positive in your workplace can not only make you feel better, it can actually create a space for you to advance in your career.

Here are 5 ways to “rev up” that positivity muscle:

Focus on what you want. Positive people look at the big picture. You might be a Sr. Manager with your eye on an Executive Director title. You may be planning to take the plunge and start your own business. By focusing your thoughts on what you want and being optimistic about it rather than what you don’t want (to stay where you are), you will create a situation that will create a positive outlook in anticipation for that next step.

Educate yourself. Professional development and self-education are great ways to live a more positive life. Read books on the areas of your life you want to improve. Take professional development classes. For example, if you want to improve in your public speaking or presentation skills, join a Toastmasters club or take a workshop on the subject.

Appreciate. This is a very simple gift that you can give to yourself and others and will bring more positivity into your life. I have also found that just being appreciative can turn an angry, sad and frustrated mood around to a more positive one. Every day,think of at least 5 things to be grateful for in your current role at work. It could be flexibility or autonomy in how you do your job, helpful and friendly colleagues, interesting and exciting work, a great boss who is more like a mentor than a boss, an easy commute,or your own successful contributions that you have given. Every day spend a few moments thinking about an aspect of your current work that you are grateful for.

Don’t compare yourself to others. This was a big challenge for me early in my career. When you compare yourself to others you basically create a lot of unnecessary stress in your life. You can become insecure and not confident in your abilities. Remember,you are a unique individual with your own talents and gifts; and besides,you don’t know what that other person had to do to get where she is anyway! Focus on your own life. Do You.

Leverage Chance Opportunities. When you have a positive outlook you are more open to creating, noticing and acting upon chance opportunities. You can do this in many ways including, adopting a relaxed attitude, networking,and being open to new people and experiences.

By following these few simple tips, you will notice your mood lift, your outlook look brighter and you are ready to take on new and exciting challenges. And here is another hint: others will notice it too and will respond in kind!

If you have any specific questions you’d like our Experts to address, please email them to me, John Cox at [email protected].
 

Does it reflect poorly on the job seeker if they apply for several positions within a single company, even If they’re genuinely interested and have the qualifications for both?

It is perfectly fine to apply for two or more different positions if you feel that you are truly qualified just so long as the positions in question are at similar levels. For example, if you are apply for two different VP roles within a company or you apply for a Director role and a Senior Manager role.However, if you apply for a VP role, a Director role and a Senior Manager role within the same company, it might be perceived that you are just trying to get a job and are applying for any and everything.It may not look very well to recruiters and hiring managers.You want to stay as close to your career level as possible.

Does ‘Teach For America’ mean anything on a resume in the media industry? While I know completing a 2-year Teach For America commitment is prestigious to graduate schools, does it have any value in the media world? I’m currently finishing up my first year as a Teach For America corps member and I don’t know if I’d like to complete my 2-year commitment for a variety of reasons. I know this can be looked at in a negative light in other professional fields, but how do you think this will impact my job search in the media industry?

It is perfectly fine to discuss your experience at Teach for America; especially if your experience at that organization relates to the media in some way.Since you didn’t say what your role within the organization was, answer these questions: Did you handle media relations for the organization? Did you work for a Teach for America newsletter or in-house radio station?It may not be relevant in the media industry if there is no related industry experience associated. Relevance is key!
