My pal and among the best bloggers within the job search and profession house, Nick Corcodilos, at Ask the Headhunter, wrote in regards to the job search fallacy yesterday. His publish, The Job Offer Fallacy: A Deadly Assumption, is a superb (and well timed) publish.
Per week or two in the past I used to be on a name with a pal who had a job supply, turned of their discover at their present job, and the identical day had the job supply rescinded due to finances causes. IT was devastating, to say the least. As a result of they turned in discover they weren’t certified for unemployment. All as a result of they trusted the written supply. You assume IT is actual, official, and by some means binding if IT is written, proper?
Incorrect.
That is the place actual life, actual expectations, and actual penalties met the job supply fallacy.
Critically, go learn Nick’s publish, The Job Offer Fallacy: A Deadly Assumption. Make sure that to learn the feedback… there are some good thought there, in addition to some cautionary tales.
What’s the #1 Factor to Do to Keep away from the Job Supply Fallacy?
KEEP JOB SEARCHING. Hold networking, maintain interviewing, entertain a number of presents. Hold going.
Nick talks in regards to the “Ask the Headhunter information.” Right here’s one from the JibberJobber information… somebody emailed me thanking me for having creating JibberJobber after which stated they discovered their dream job, “may you please delete my account?” I requested in the event that they have been certain, and didn’t they need to maintain all that intelligence in there for his or her subsequent job search, which might statistically within the subsequent 2 – 5 years? “No thanks, that is my dream job and I’m shut sufficient to retirement that I’m certain I’ll retire from this job.”
I used to be joyful this individual discovered their dream job. I did as they requested and deleted their account. All of their contacts, log entries, contact data, context, and so on. was gone. I hated doing IT as a result of I repeatedly preach about protecting this data for “your subsequent job search.”
