Are you just good enough for consideration? Are you average or are you in the top 1%? Hiring managers want to see people who can think out of the box. They want collaborative thinkers.

While talent is important to them, they want to know how you strategize and what is your level of effort in achieving successful outcomes.

Are you really a leader or are you a conformist? Are you able to take the skills you have and translate creative ideas or alternatives? Often there is more than one way to achieve a successful outcome.

You know the saying…”you keep doing what you have been doing, you keep getting what you’ve got.” Are you constantly doing research? Are you taking extra efforts to be on top of the latest trends in your industry?

I share a quote here from an excellent article from ScottYoung.com:
“Getting a book deal is narrow. But there’s self-publishing, blogs, newsletters and writing for magazines.

Becoming a tenured research professor is narrow. But there’s jobs in industry, teaching, consulting and beyond. The path to the pinnacle of each is precise, but there’s an entire mountain range to choose from.

The path may be narrower than you think. But the destinations are more numerous than you can imagine.”

As your interview coach, I can help you along this narrow path, to make sure you stand out among others in consideration for the same job you want.
