Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Headhunt the headhunter for your job search“.

Headhunters and Executive Search Consultants are often a mystery to experienced candidates – usually when it comes to understanding, “Why aren’t they more proactive in helping me? If I find a job, they make money!”.

During this interactive meeting, we’ll explain:

Uprzedzenia wobec *pewnych* kandydatów – porady, jak im sprostać!

W dobie globalizacji i mieszania się kultur otrzymujemy dostęp do wielu wyjątkowych możliwości, ale stajemy też przed nieprzyjemnym faktem o nas samych – wszyscy mamy swoje (nie)świadome uprzedzenia. Chociaż wszyscy wolelibyśmy pracować z ludźmi, którzy są całkowicie nieuprzedzeni wobec naszej [narodowości / pochodzenia / koloru skóry / przekonań religijnych / orientacji seksualnej / niepełnosprawności / wieku], nie sposób zaprzeczyć istnieniu zarówno bezpośrednich (jawnych i świadomych), jak i pośrednich (automatycznych, niejednoznacznych i ambiwalentnych) uprzedzeń, stereotypów i dyskryminacji.

Aby zmaksymalizować swoje szanse na zdobycie wymarzonej pracy, jeśli wiesz, że należysz do grupy, która może być dyskryminowana na podstawie informacji zawartych w CV, powinieneś usunąć lub „przebranżowić” te informacje. Dlaczego i w jaki sposób?

Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Career Decisions: Heart vs. Mind – who wins? And what can you do about it?”

How did you get to where you are career-wise today? How much was it by accident? How much was planned? Is there an underlying pattern that you follow subconsciously? And how come some change jobs often, some not at all, and some keep thinking about starting their own business? How come some are on clear executive tracks, while some struggle to get ahead – yet others don’t even desire a linear career path?

There’s a science behind that and over 40 years of research of over a million career paths that give us clear hints on how to think (and feel) about career – as a whole – and our own.

Don’t we all want a fulfilling career? But how do we get there? Read more →

Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Executive Job Market – how to generate interviews in 2024”.

What’s your JHE – Job Hunting Efficiency? Are you making the most of all four job search channels? Approaching decision makers directly has been – to the surprise of many – one of the most effective job search channels. Preparing a perfect CV and a proper & complete LinkedIn profile is one thing. Knowing how to approach potential employers and headhunters to get invited to an interview is another.

During this interactive meeting, we’ll explain: Read more →

Bias against *certain* candidates – advice on how to deal with it!

In the age of globalization, the melting pot of cultures brings a lot of unique opportunities but also reveals one unsettling fact about ourselves – we all have our (un)conscious biases. As much as we would all rather work with people who are completely unbiased towards our [nationality / origin / skin color / religious beliefs / sexual orientation / disability / age], there is no denying the existence of both explicit (overt and conscious) and implicit (automatic, ambiguous, and ambivalent) prejudices, stereotypes and discrimination.

To maximize your chances of landing your dream job, if you know you belong to a group that could be discriminated against based on the information in their CV, you should erase or “re-brand” this information. Why? How?
