Week 3 Re-Biography vs. Job Boards

Self-Directed Job Seeker (ER) vs. NewPlacement Candidate (NP)
 
Self-directed: HE is puzzled by the job boards, finds hardly any suitable offers at his level and thus experiences the shift into the hidden market with increasing levels at TOP levels. In order to have at least several projects at the start, HE applies also for projects with lower matching or even in the level downward. The settlement date for his dismissal protection action will give clarification for the separation. Until the end of the legal dispute, HE should not provide any references in the previous company.
 
NewPlacement: NP has experienced his career from a completely different perspective in the second full-day meeting with the re-biography and now sees the separation in a much more differentiated way. This should not be repeated in the next job. After personal benefit analysis and goal setting, the focus becomes clearer and the success database can be adapted to this target focus. For the photo shoot, NP receives specifications with appropriate imaging from the biography, cutouts and posture. By the next appointment in weeks, the coach prepares drafts of the cover letter, brief and detailed profile, and interview and application strategy. For an urgent application from NewPlacement-Networking, the coach prepares a beta version, which NR sends in advance after telephone coordination.
 
Our recommendations:
5. the meta-level view of one's own management record opens up new perspectives and creates more understanding for headhunters and decision-makers in the company.
6. the photo should correspond to the target focus and support the "entry" and not the "takeover" into the new company.
