Rewinding Your Perspective…Fast Forwarding Your Hire!
My clients are in the trenches. They send out their résumés, interview their hearts out, follow-up faithfully and play the waiting game. My clients are an interesting group. They are on their home turfs passing judgment in positions of authority on Monday and sitting in my office in positions of vulnerability by Friday.

I am the coach and they are the players. I teach job search to clients and they teach me lessons learned from their career lives. Sometimes my clients are too close to their lessons to receive critical messages but that’s where I come in. If they could do it over again here’s what some of my most prominent folks would do differently:

I Wish Would Have Taken That Lateral Offer: I would have had the opportunity to gain the experience, perhaps temporarily sacrificing income, that would have taken me from the specialized director I am today to the executive vice president of CEO level that I may never see. Today, because of the financial demands of older children, I can no longer afford the growth hiatus that I would now be able to leverage in the pinnacle of my career. Where did I learn that sideways was a wrong direction?

I Wish I Had Secured A Simple Letter of Reference: I have been downsized and the company is gone but I am still a candidate out of a job, sometimes feeling that employers can’t help but question the nature of my job performance. If I had negotiated a written letter of reference from my direct supervisor showcasing my stellar contributions I could have avoid employer skepticism in advance. I wish I had gone to my colleagues and offered to reciprocate, doing the same for them.

I Wish I Would Have Kept Better Records of My Achievements: I was always taught that on résumés qualifications meant everything. I just figured that my degree, years of experience, positions held and functions performed would qualify me for the job. It should have occurred to me that others were also qualified but I used to see classified ads that seemed to have my name of them. They would require 5-10 years in the plastics industry, and R& D background and an MBA. But repeatedly I never got a call.

I Wish I Would Have Gone on That Interview: I didn’t because it was only Director –level with probably less than my current compensation as I had reached the Vice President level. I later read in Business First that one of my AMA pals, another EVP, was able to impress to the point that they re-classified the job to meet her requirements. If nothing else, my meeting could have been used for networking opportunities. But I pre-judged and didn’t want to waste my time. Sadder but wiser I would never repeat that behavior.

I Wish I Wouldn’t Have Told The Bossman to Take His Job & Shove It: I wish I hadn’t aired my grievances about Mr. Jones to my colleagues. My old employer is now in partnership with my current employer and it has put me in a potentially embarrassing position. I felt hurt and taken advantage of and maybe I was but I should have been more discreet. There’s an old song that says once spent, time, bad words or bullets you can’t take any of them back. Amen
