Episode 14 | Lost Your Job? Here's What to Do


The Big Themes:


Company names and personal networks: Pat suggests that new
hires create two lists: one to list companies, and one to list
personal networks. This is a simple and effective way to "do your
research" and will help guide your job search. "The reality is
your network is going to be your biggest avenue" for finding a
new job, explains Pat.

The importance of emotional EQ: Job candidates must
demonstrate their emotional intelligence, personality, and value
to a potential employer to differentiate themselves. Mark
explains that when new hires possess the correct EQ, hiring
managers will look to place the candidate in the company.
Emotional EQ has become a bigger focus than what it used to be.

Do your homework: Do proper research on the company, come
prepared to ask the right questions, and connect with a hiring
manager on facts, data, and information that relates to a
company. Hiring managers will respond to what you know, and how
much effort you put into your application and interview.



 


The Big Quote: "Those of you like me that are introverts, know
your facts, connect with the people on data on information on
facts. Be knowledgeable about what their company is doing and
what their role is, about what they personally have done. You
don't have to be an extrovert, you can be an introvert, but
people will resonate, will really respond to you, by you having
the right knowledge, you know, to be able to ask those questions
in the interview, that, to me, it doesn't matter what kind of
personality you have. You've got to differentiate yourself... But
people will respond to you by what you know, and frankly, how
much effort you put into, before you go into the interview cycle
or even before you even present your job, your resume, to the
offering."
