Mitigating Employer Risk Unemployed Job Seekers Were Average/Poor Performers

Often, unemployed job seekers don't realize that employers face a risk when considering hiring you.

You know you're awesome, so it can be difficult to see that you present a hiring manager a risk, when you know that an employer would be lucky to have you on their team.

A hiring manager doesn't know you're awesome. What they do know is that you were let go, but have no idea if you were an average/poor performer or a strong performer (who was at the wrong place at the wrong time).

And they won't believe you if you just tell them you were a strong performer (because poor performers, who want to get a job, present themselves as stronger performers than they really were).

But the #1 risk to a hiring manager's bonus, salary and career is choosing a new hire who underperforms. The hiring manager's #2 risk is missing the opportunity to hire an above average or outstanding performer, who raises the performance of their team.

That's why you need to do more than show you're qualified, when you're unemployed, to overcome this perception of risk in a hiring manager's mind.

Here's how to prove to hiring managers that you were a strong performer, to mitigate employer risk of hiring you when you're unemployed:

Overwhelm Employers With Impact: Prove to hiring managers that you had a strong track record of improving teams, departments, and companies. Giving one example in your resume and interviews won't prove this to employers ... Overwhelming them with proof will.

Every line on your resume (and every statement in your interviews) that proves your success reduces your performance risk to employers. But any line on your resume that doesn't prove success to a hiring manager (who didn't work at your company and doesn't know you), undersells you, and increases your risk.

The reason why you aren't already overwhelming employers with impact is that you don't know how. But every unemployed job seeker, from admin to CEO has the ability to prove their success through impact.

Few candidates do, because no one has shown them how.

Don't you want to overcome employer risk of hiring you when you're unemployed, and stand head-and-shoulders over competing job seekers (both employed and unemployed) to land job offers faster? I'll teach you how to overwhelm employers with your success.

And you'd already be doing more, if someone taught you ... the more, to do more of.
