Quote for the Week

The Miracle Minute


The Sad Applicants' Aim


Most applicants right now have little chance of landing a job. It isn't the lack of jobs or the giant overflow of applicants that gets in their way, it is their aim.

During my initial meetings with qualified applicants (I help clients find quality people) I ask open-ended questions and say almost nothing about the firm. My primary objective in that first half of the initial interview is to discover what each applicant wants. Not what they say they want, but what they truly want.

What do 98% of the people truly want? They want a predetermined amount of money, benefits, holidays off, and someplace to go five days a week. What's sad about that? Talented, capable people are shooting themselves in the foot.

The right way to land a job is not in looking at it to see only what is in it for you, but in determining what you can contribute. When an applicant's primary aim is adding value to a prospective firm and they dig deep enough to find ways to make that happen, doors will open and positions will be offered.

The demand for clear thinking, deep digging, and problem-solving individuals is greater now than it has even been.

What determines an applicants success: Find a need and fill it.
