On Friday, the sports world focused in on one infamous quote from an accomplished basketball player.
When asking the right questions along the way, one can fully exploit his or her talent\ in the right workplace. It does not matter which part of the process, the questions asked could clarify your desired destination, and the potential employer’s choice for the individual that fits.
Do people just use their talent just at work? If so, why?
If people would use their professional skills outside of work, is it passion? Does it matter?
Where have you taken your talent? Where have your talent taken you?
Lebron James had the right idea. You have to confidence and understand what your skills look like in an unfamiliar place. That is why an investment of time goes to research and asking questions to make sure that your skills can be taken with you.
The reason highly qualified candidates seem to thrive where the competition is fierce. Skills always translate into measurable and visible results. If people have to guess what job your resume is targeting, then I hope you possess a high tolerance for ambiguity.
You don’t have to sit and wait to be picked. Looking for a job is not being picked for teams on the playground. You can take your talents and skills anywhere you want. Just leave the arrogance at home.
