Job seekers often need a nudge to share their special attributes or strengths that sell themselves as the one to hire. If this is you, you should listen to this conversation.
This is an outline of our conversation:
1) The core message of finding and unlocking courage and the path to this book2) Where do you see job seekers fall short in selling themselves?3) What is false humility really and how it is a disservice to character and the impression it leaves employers3) The suggestion that there should be a healthy balance between bragging about others and then yourself.4) Would this strategy be useful during interviews as really, the job seeker is the understood focus? This could really show how the job candidate is a true team player without saying, “I’m a real team player?”5) “You teach people how to treat you. Set your boundaries or others will set them for you”.My first response was, “AMEN!” How would this apply to the job seeker who is networking and interviewing to get hired.6) You say, “It’s who knows what you know.” “Be relevant with what you share with people.” If this is not done, then it becomes a major obstacle to a job candidate, doesn’t it?7) The damage of “playing safe”‘ really does to someone’s reputation and brand
