If we are looking to advance our careers, reinvention is a must. It’s not what you think it is if you’re thinking makeover (although sometimes it is). Your reinvention efforts must fit and deliver what the employer’s need. I talk about it in more detail with Anthony Quinones.
What does reinvention mean for your career?

Here are three ways you can let us know:

  • Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number
  • Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message
  • Send email feedback to mark@thevoiceofjobseekers.com

Let me share more about Anthony’s background:

Anthony is the Founder and Chief Reinvention Officer at Q-Ball Media, home of the “Your Point of Q” podcast. You can go to his blog here to listen. He has published several articles on Huffington Post and has made several other media appearances.

He has published two books:

Repackaging Everything

The Brandpreneur Beginners Guide

Here are highlights of our conversation on reinvention:

  • People used to look at reinvention as a cool and nice thing, but now it’s a necessity
  • New opportunities are now coming through temp work, contracts, and volunteering
  • Relationships are key to starting the reinvention process
  • 62% are finding jobs through referral
  • More job stability from the job search process from relationships than applying online
  • Employers trust a new hire who was referred by a current employee than a new hire who applied online
  • Trust is a key benefit from an employee referral
  • Saves money for the company
  • Your references help embed trust
  • Six types of key relationships: Friends, family, coworkers, ex-classmates, associations, people you know of (pyko or pee-co)

You need to be "the prescription to an employer's job description." You must be solution-oriented and work in positions in companies where you are the remedy. Your job search must be a lifestyle, and your career must be in front of you constantly. You can no longer shed your aspirations at the change seasons. There are strengths you have that need constant use and development. Be sure you sign up to download my E-Book, "421 Modern Job Search Tips 2021!"
