Job Search Strategy - Getting a different perspective

What is it that others see that you're not familiar with? Most people are looking for a job or career change begin adding your rating. Another way to get some idea of your skills, talents and gifts is, friends and current or former work colleagues ask what they see as strengths. First steps in a different perspective can be helpful.

Years ago when I started my coaching I went to a meeting with other coaches. We have an exercise whereEveryone had a piece of paper attached to the back. We were told to walk and write a word in every paper, we described the most popular of this person.

My list was long and had words, many of which are not surprising for me, but stood as different was "practically" not a word that would come to have about me.

When you start or continue a job search, it is important for candidates to distinguish themselves from others.In my practice I ask my coaching clients, friends, 5-10, directors and / or colleagues to 5 of them (customers) to identify the strengths and / or abilities. They do this in an email. This exercise can really validation. My clients often feel really appreciated by the answers.

Of course, it is not necessary to know exactly what to say accept the other, but it is a good idea to ask others if you do not agree. I initially rejected the idea of "practice".

The more I think about it with otheralso my coach, plus I could see what was right. Friends and colleagues said they recognized and appreciated my approach is practical and often came to me for honest feedback on a request idea. (Not yet!)

If you are looking for opportunities, energy and healing for your work, friends asked him feedback on their strengths, abilities and talents. Can afford to see yourself from another perspective that could pay off big.
