Career Advisory postgraduate studies – after the second weekend

A client comes to a Career Consultant and asks, “We did a series of tests at work this year. Can we discuss them?”, “I have a Gallup test report.

The second weekend of the Career Advisory postgraduate studies was about a wide range of tests, their role in career advisory, and their usefulness when working with clients.

Strategic interviewing for executives

Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Strategic interviewing for executives“.

How good are you at interviewing? Do you rely on your years of experience / charisma? How many interviews lead to next rounds, shortlists and/or job offers? If you are an experienced manager or executive, the standard interviewing techniques are “not enough” to be effective.

Some truths:
Interviewing others requires different skills than being interviewed!
– Some recruiters might take the extra time to speak with you, not because you are a great candidate, but because they see you as a potential client! Knowing how to navigate that is important.
– Most recruiters will NOT share details about the recruitment processes they wanted to invite you to if they are not convinced that you fit within 10-15 min of the conversation. So you might end up thinking: “that really was just a ‘get-to-know’ interview” – when in reality it was not. You simply didn’t pass through the filter.

During this interactive meeting we’ll explain:

Career Advisory postgraduate studies – first impressions

To advise others on developing and changing their career paths, you need to understand how people make career decisions. And you should start with yourself.

We asked our students, “When you were kids, who did you want to be when you grow up?” Their answers: teacher, journalist, postal clerk, bus driver, mechanic, or “someone who works with people in a group”… Some of them “ended up” in either soft or “hard” HR in roles / positions like coach, head of the HR department, recruitment support for people with disabilities, career advisor for foreigners. The others are involved in real estate, short-term rental, finance. To sum up: it is a very varied, interesting and mature group.

Syndrom oszusta – (nie)zdrowe zwątpienie w siebie podczas szukania pracy

Syndrom oszusta – (nie)zdrowe zwątpienie w siebie podczas szukania pracy

Wyobraź sobie następujący scenariusz: od 10 miesięcy próbujesz wrócić do formy. 10 pełnych miesięcy. I żadnych rezultatów. Zrzucone kilka tygodni temu kilogramy znowu powróciły.

Podobnie, wyobraź sobie, że szukasz pracy od 10 miesięcy. Bez rezultatów. A wszystkie małe sukcesy, które odnosisz, zawsze ostatecznie prowadzą donikąd. W obu przypadkach możesz zadać sobie pytanie: „Co jest ze mną nie tak?”.

Odpowiedź brzmi: Nic!

Manager, executive – what next? Career management


Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Manager, executive – what next? Career management“.

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?

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

Imposter syndrome – (un)healthy self-doubt during your job search

Imagine the following scenario: you’ve been trying to get in shape for 10 months. 10 full months. And no results. You lost a couple of kilos / pounds some weeks ago, but gained them right back.

Similarly, imagine that you’ve been looking for a job for 10 months. Without results. And all the little success you’ve had always ultimately leads nowhere. In both cases, you might find yourself asking, “What’s wrong with me?

Here’s the answer: Nothing!
