This is  a new  intensive programme to be launched in September 2019 How to SCORE a new job.

 

How to SCORE a new job.

One of the things that’s difficult to manage with career transition clients is their expectations. If someone has committed to investing in themselves and their careers, they want results and they want them now, or at least ASAP. But there are many moving parts to SCORE a new job and they can become more complex the more senior an individual job seeker is. There are simply fewer jobs at the top. Sadly, there are no short cuts and no magic sauce to get to where you want to be.

But there is a methodology to help you structure your process, which will help reduce the confusion and potential stress. It takes time and effort which is why so many want to by-pass the basics and look for easy fixes which are not so easy to come by. I have created an acronym which I am going to incorporate into my new career programme in the autumn.

I call it SCORE.

The S  in SCORE is for self-awareness. 

It might seem obvious but you would be surprised how many people get to senior positions within organisations without giving themselves more than a passing thought.

The C in SCORE is for CONSIDER. 

It’s important that all job seekers sit down and reflect on their options. Now is the time to make a plan and commit to it. From here on in if you are not working in line with your goals, either your goals need to change or your behaviour does.

The O in SCORE is for OWN. 

This is a tough one. Many job seekers struggle to own their career achievements. They tend to get stuck in process mode, recounting their career history as a chronology and as a job description. What they need to do is own their successes and be able to share them  backed up with numbers. So many don’t have metrics to support their story. This is a gender trap for women, so ladies, take note

The R in SCORE is for RELATIONSHIP CAPITAL. 

Your network is your net-worth. This is especially true if you want to change sectors or geographic regions. It’s important to have connections in your target area as well as the sector you are currently in.

The E in SCORE is for EXECUTE. 

This is a tough word but it means that you have to take action and be accountable to yourself, take action and deliver!  Now is the time to commit to getting things done and making job search part of your daily routine.

This is a face to face or online programme including 4 x 1.5 hour coaching sessions.
