Rebranding Yourself For What’s Coming

For those people who have gone through layoffs and for those who haven’t but are still looking for the next thing, Liz has some advice for the mindset to have to get the best outcome. Her advice on how to think about the job hunt is to “Brand yourself like a marketer for the job you want and then go forward.” Take a targeted approach to the jobs you want, and have an intention to the applications you send in. This also goes for your resume, remove all the jargon that tells recruiters nothing, and tell a story through your resume that will truly show people what you can do.

Shifting How You Think About Work

There was once a time when you could work at a company for your entire life, and make a sort of second family within a company. Now that “cradle to grave era” mindset is the wrong way to think about it, it is all financial. Just like how many companies are thinking about their finances first, you should as well. “Focus on that next job as much as I’m focused on this job”, is how Liz puts it. Focus on how you can make your current situation as fruitful as possible so that you are ready for the next best thing. Also, keep in mind “If you don’t like a job, you can leave. If you don’t like a career path, you can change it.”

Re-Engaging Your Audience As A Leader

If you are a leader, and looking for dedicated employees who truly care about what they do, it is time to think about how you lead. Liz notes that one reason passion dies within a company is because CEOs and other leaders “go into fear and say, you know what? It’s all about the bottom line.” If you are persuading people to work for you due to your financial interests, they are going to check out emotionally and then more than likely check out physically.? Which is “the prudent and correct thing to do” if you are an employee.
