An introduction on the "new model" of job search & career management. If you learn it, & are doing it right, you'll never have to do a job search again. If you are replying to job board posts, your doing it wrong. Learn what to do to gain control of your process and outcome. Be well.

2. The world of career
management has changed.
This change is 1 of 2 primary
reasons for the pain,
frustration, and difficulty
associated with long term
unemployment.

3. The predominant career
management formula was simple:
Happy? Don’t look.
Unhappy? Look.
We may have been able to get
away with this in the past…

4. But it no longer works….well.
In fact, this formula virtually
guarantees slowed growth as
we age combined with a long
period of transition when
unemployed.

5. Using this model, Warren
Buffett would only pay
attention to investments
when the market is volatile.
He pays attention ALL the
time.
He is always listening for
opportunity when it knocks.

6. The other issue is that our
culture & society supports s-l-
o-w-e-d learning as we gain
experience.
Compare rate of learning
from age 20 to 30 to 40 to 50
to 60 and beyond.

7. Lack of rapid learning causes
people to lose their
“relevance”.
Being relevant=being in
demand.
We must resist our societal
focus on comfort and
convenience.

8. This issue is often masked by
‘conspiracy theory’ accusations
of:
Age discrimination.
Offshoring and outsourcing as
primarily a means to save
money.
Unfair use of consultants.

9. The world of job search has
also changed.
This change is the 2nd
primary reason for the pain,
frustration, and difficulty
associated with long term
unemployment.

10. So poor career management
habits combined with a poor
job search formula are the
REAL REASONS for job search
pain and long periods of job
transition.
NEITHER work well today.

11. This is no
way to
manage
your career
or your job
search.

12. A savvy job seeker understands
the model of job search has
changed:
The old job search model was uni-
directional.
Job seekers pushed data (i.e.
resumes) outward.

13. The new model is 100% different.
We still push data---but the
smallest element of that is the
resume.
More importantly, we “pull”.
This is called a BI-DIRECTIONAL job
search.

14. The old model resembled “moths”
to a light.
Job seekers were moths flocking to
a job/light.

15. But today, that has all changed.
Today, the job seeker is the light.
They have to get jobs (moths) to
come to them.
Without applying.

20. BUT wait!
That is not all that has changed!

21. The poor economy wasn’t responsible for
all of the labor market turmoil!

22. The turmoil is due to changes in the US
labor market.

23. And these changes will continue.

24. The average number of jobs held
between the age of 18-42 of a study
group of 10,000 people is 10.8!
This number is expected to increase.
Chuck Pierret,
Bureau of Labor
Statistics Economist

25. Repeated spells of unemployment have
averaged 5.4 for age group 18-46.
This average is expected to increase.
Bureau of Labor Statistics

26. 50% of working Americans are
‘solopreneurs’ or freelancers or
consultants or contractors---NOT
corporate American employees.
Bureau of Labor Statistics

27. Temp worker hiring is growing 7.5% year
over year and 5X faster than the overall
employment market.
Bureau of Labor Statistics

28. So you have
two choices!

29. Live in fear
and be a
victim!

30. Or get help
and learn
what to do!

31. Learn to use the NEW
MODEL!

32. This will give you:
Control Peace Strength
Comfort Options Leverage

33. So how do
we do this?

35. Networking
Branding/SME Visibility
Recognition
Learning
Relevancy
What is the Purpose of Social Media in Career Management?
