You just know you’ve done everything right in your job search. You’ve applied for every job you found online, but you haven’t received a single call back. As your anxiety increases, you try to think of a reason why you’re not getting job interviews. Via Andy Senko CDP
Trish Sadar's insight:
Excellent article with wonderful tips! After reading this article I want you to sit yourself down and ask yourself some serious questions. It is time to take a temperature check on how serious you are with your career. - Am I the driver of my career? - Do I know what a successful career looks like for me? - Am I investing a set amount of time to develop my skills, increase my knowledge, and expose myself to projects that my target position requires? - Am I investing a set amount of time to map out a career plan with goals, timelines, and manageable action steps? - Have I researched my target job/industry to ensure that the position and industry is growing in my chosen geographical area? - Am I taking action each week to propel my career forward? Hope these questions in addition to the article suggestions give you thoughts on what you can do to incorporate into your current career strategy. I am here to help and would love to hear from you, so please let me know if you have any questions that I could help with. Until next time...PS - Live on Purpose!

10 ways to manage career expectations
Trish Sadar's insight:
At dinner last night with my husband began asking our parents questions regarding how they began their careers. It was interesting that each of our parents told stories of how their careers just happened by chance.
So much has changed since then. Long are the days when a person could start a job, and plan on retiring at the same company as long as they did their work well and showed up each day on time.
While it is true that the landscape has changed, I believe that there are so many opportunties as long as we do our homework, have a plan, keep up with required skills, and are flexible in how we repackage our skills and experience.
Please take a moment to read this article. I hope you enjoy, and please do let us know your thoughts and any advice you have to our readers.

“There are five hiring attributes we have across the company,” explained Bock. “If it’s a technical role, we assess your coding ability, and half the roles in the company are technical roles. For every job, though, the No. 1 thing we look for is general cognitive ability, and it’s not I.Q. It’s learning ability. It’s the ability to process on the fly. It’s the ability to pull together disparate bits of information. We assess that using structured behavioral interviews that we validate to make sure they’re predictive.”

As Adam Bryant said "There are five hiring attributes we have across the company" and it is true about any job. those attributes are: humility and ownership, expertise, the ability to process on the fly, leadership, and the fundamental attribution error.

Career, Leadership Lessons From Michael Phelps' Return
Fox Business
A quick summary of his career: The most decorated Olympic athlete of all time, with 22 medals, 18 of them gold (twice as many gold medals as his closest challenger).
If you were successful in the past but have eased out of the game, either abruptly or by slowing down a little bit more every day, ask yourself why. If it's intentional, something you really want for yourself, fine. Enjoy your life and don't look back. But if it's a case of feeling that you have to move out of the way, that you can't run with your younger colleagues, that there's nothing left for you to contribute, then maybe it's time to reevaluate, create a plan, and get back in the pool.

A recent article in The Economist quotes Bill Gates as saying at least a dozen job types will be taken over by robots and automation in the next two decades, and these jobs cover both high-paying and low-skilled workers. Some of the positions he mentioned were commercial pilots, legal work, technical writing, telemarketers, accountants, retail workers, and real estate sales agents.
Indeed, as I’ve predicted before, by 2030 over 2 billion jobs will disappear. Again, this is not a doom and gloom prediction, rather a wakeup call for the world.
First there came the computer and brought us more jobs and now comes more jobs and more. Technology brings us a lot more than only freedom he brings us more jobs as well. One small step for men but a big step for the future.

Take a Step Back to Propel Your Career Forward

She made phone calls so reliably and effectively, they soon recognized her abilities and asked her to become a regional field director, launching a new career.
What an outstanding article with tons of gold nuggets for anyone despite of where you are in your careers! I particularly agree with this statement:
"The kind of dramatic professional advancement we’d all like to see — big promotions, the opportunity to work on high-profile projects, or access to interesting opportunities — only come around when we’ve made an investment in our careers. And that investment almost always involves foregoing short-term gratification and, indeed, appearing to take a step backward."
My advice: So many times in your career you will be tempted to go off your true path for short-term gains. For example you could be offered a position where you will gain thousands of dollars a year in the short-term; however, you have to ask yourself these questions:
Does this position take me closer to my long-term goal? Although I am not making more salary in the short-term, am I making an important investment in me where I will gain critical knowledge, experience, and skills that will groom me for my next career ladder step?
OR
Am I staying in a comfortable position solely because of the money, and I am not growing skills necessary to grow my career?
Am I accepting a new position solely because of the money, and the position is not consistent with my career plan -- and is taking me farther away from my career goals.
It is important to mention that most of us will change our career plans many times throughout our careers. What I urge everyone to do is to be deliberate in your career choices. Ask yourself those tough decisions before you take that next step.
Most importantly think in the long-term, and don't throw away your career aspirations for short-term gains.
