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!

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?

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!

EN – The modern job market – what are the most important trends?

According to a report prepared by the World Economic Forum, “formulating effective re-training and up-skilling strategies for the next five years will be essential for maximizing business performance. […]. The number of jobs requiring creativity, innovation and empathy will increase, as will the demand for analytical thinking skills.” Moreover, “60% of workers will require training by 2027.”

This phenomenon is both an opportunity and a threat for companies, depending on how quickly they manage to close the skill gap and manage current and new employees in terms of up-skilling or re-skilling or the recruitment itself. This is also both an opportunity and a threat for representatives of HR departments, recruiters and career advisors operating on the market. In order to be among the top experts, you have to be knowledgeable about the typology of employees in terms of commitment and competence development in order to design new career paths in the most effective way and adjust profiles accordingly.

Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Executive identity & salary negotiations – the how to“.

Being aware of your personal brand and influencing it skillfully is the difference between “Who are you?” and “Thank you for being here” in your career. But it takes it even further: it’s the difference between the zeros on your paycheck. For many managers, salary negotiation is a difficult and sensitive subject. Even if you feel inclined to avoid it altogether, remember: employers expect negotiations. Therefore, you need to negotiate – and you need to do it effectively.

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.
