Preparing for an Interview
12 March 2020 by Leave a Comment
Have you ever been called in the morning for a face-to-face interview in the same afternoon? Our topic tomorrow is “Preparing for an Interview.” The purpose of the session is to review and discuss some very important things you can do to get ready for an interview.
We’ve had terrific success lately at my office preparing clients for interviews. Two gentlemen and one lady have final interviews this week. One lady we trained last week received a job offer this week. Another gentleman has an interview next Monday. My all-time favorite story was with a gentleman who hired us to do a full-scale, three-hour role play with him. He landed a job as president of the U.S. division of a Dutch company.
Come this week for a taste of this successful strategy.
To be better prepared for the meeting, bring your preparation notes for an upcoming job interview. If you don’t have an interview scheduled, bring notes from an interview you’ve already been to, or, bring a job lead for a position at a target company.

Developing and Delivering Your Exit Statement
4 March 2020 by Leave a Comment
Hey fish, why did you leave?
“Why did you leave your last job?”
This issue has prevented many of you from landing a job. To make matters worse, you don’t even know you are not receiving offers because of this one question. To be better prepared for the meeting, bring your answer to this question: Why did you leave your most recent position? The one before? And the one before that?
Our topic for this Friday (8/23/2019) is “Developing and Delivering Your Exit Statement.”
We will also cover four more difficult questions that may be causing you to crash and burn in the interview room.

Who’s on Your A-Team?

“I pity the fool who doesn’t have an A-Team”
Our topic this Friday is “Who’s on Your A-Team? How to knock down one obstacle at a time and land your dream job.”
King Solomon, one of the wisest men ever, said, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed (Proverbs 15:22).” The more career coaching I do, the more important I see this as the cornerstone of an effective job campaign. People who have advisory teams get better results in less time. Come Friday and find out why.
“Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice (Proverbs 13:10).”
BTW, the person with the highest hippo score in January last year accepted a job the following week. The person with the second highest hippo score accepted a job the following week. Coincidence? I don’t think so!

Looking for Hippos
15 January 2020 by Leave a Comment
Been looking for hippos lately? If not, I recommend you come to JobSeekers on Friday. You’ll learn to look for hippos, and then to execute them.
Hippos are one of the key elements that determine how soon and how successful you are in your job search. Hippos are also critical to sales people, sales managers, executives and entrepreneurs. Come tomorrow and learn how to find and execute “hippos.”
Hippos, by the way, are “high payoff activities.” In 26 years in the career management business, I’ve met only of handful of people who truly live by the concepts I will teach on Friday.

Delighted to report that several clients have landed jobs in the past couple of weeks! What I’m teaching at JobSeekers this Friday is fundamental to the process we use here at O’Farrell Career Management. It’s part of the process that these clients used to earn their offers.

Tired of beating your head against the wall? Our topic this week, “Seven Job Search Strategies and Their Relative Effectiveness” might help end your frustration and pain.
The holiday season is over. School is gearing back up. It’s time to get off the sidelines and back in the game! It seems many people are experiencing some serious inertia this week. Come to JS this Friday and get your mojo back!
I’ll teach you what works (and why) and what doesn’t (and why not). I will share something that I’ve never seen on another career website, or seen in another book, or heard from another career coach. If you embrace this concept, prepare yourself thoroughly, and maintain a positive attitude you can and will land a job.
