<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most job candidates think they're ready for their interview.</p> <p>They've researched the company.</p> <p>They've reviewed the job description.</p> <p>They've practiced a few answers.</p> <p>Maybe they've even asked ChatGPT, or the better version, ANDY AI, to throw a few interview questions their way.</p> <p>But interview readiness isn't about checking a few boxes.</p> <p>It's about knowing whether every part of your interview is ready to convince the employer you're the right person for the job.</p> <p>That's why I created the Interview Readiness Scorecard.</p> <p>It helps you evaluate the nine areas that can determine whether your interview moves you closer to a job offer, including:</p> <p style= "margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> · Position alignment.</p> <p style= "margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> · Your introduction.</p> <p style= "margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> · Walking through your resume.</p> <p style= "margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> · Your power story.</p> <p style= "margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> · Behavioral questions and offshoots.</p> <p style= "margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> · The questions you ask.</p> <p style= "margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> · Your communication.</p> <p style= "margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> · Your overall performance.</p> <p style= "margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> · Interview logistics.</p> <p>Before you listen this week's podcast, download your free copy of the scorecard.</p> <p> 👉 <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/andrew-lacivita-interview-readiness-scorecard-download"> Download the free interview readiness scorecard!</a></p> <p>Then listen to Are You Ready for Your Interview.</p> <p>Wait. Before you race to the video…</p> <p>As you listen, rate yourself in each area.</p> <p>You get exactly zero points for being hopeful.</p> <p>And zero for being optimistic.</p> <p>I want you to KNOW.</p> <p>Because confidence isn't something you build the night before an interview.</p> <p>Confidence is something you earn through preparation.</p> <p>By the end of the lesson, you'll know where you're ready, where you need work, and what it takes to become Coach Andy Ready™ before your next interview.</p> <p>That's our new standard.</p> <p>Ok.

<description><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Job searching can be brutal. It tests your patience, your confidence, and your resolve.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">But if you shift your focus from <em>results to wisdom</em>, everything changes.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">That's what I'm teaching in this week's lesson, how to use your job search to make you a better professional.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In the podcast, I share a personal story about recently finishing my new book. It's now off and running with the publisher, moving through the production process.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The moment I hit send, I sat in my favorite Pottery Barn Wells swivel chair and thought for 20 minutes about nothing but the "agony" I'm going to endure over the next 12 months.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Kidding aside, I genuinely did this. I didn't think about how many copies I might sell or what it'd take to make a bestseller list. I focused on something more important, the skills I need to strengthen over the next year as I market and launch this new book.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You might think that because this is my fifth time around, I'd have mastered it by now. But if you assumed that, you'd be completely wrong.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Yes, I've done a lot right and built some great skills when it comes to marketing a book. But many efforts have fallen short of my hopes. Some were dead ends. Others just confused the heck out of me. Which means only one thing, I need to try new things, keep learning, and keep building.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Does this sound like your job search?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The things you think will work don't. The things you don't expect to work do. It's effort, surprises, ups, and downs. That's just life in a nutshell.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">And what I'm about to say might sound like common sense. But I'm guessing it'll only sound like common sense after I actually say it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you're going to go through a job search, why not gain the benefits of the experience?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If we agree those benefits come in the form of new experiences and better skills, then it's time to ask yourself...</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji';"> 👉</span> <em>What skills do you want to build throughout your job search?</em></p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1.

<description><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Most people think success comes from constant hustle.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It doesn't. It comes from patience mixed with smart action.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Most people chase quick wins.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I learned the real secret is patience mixed with purpose.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">When you think long-term, you make better short-term decisions.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You stop chasing every shiny idea and start stacking small wins that lead to something big.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Back in 2015, I made a decision that tested every ounce of my patience.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Even though I was most qualified to teach leadership, I didn't start there.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">My long-term vision was to become a one-stop shop for your career.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">But to earn that, I needed to start by solving your most acute pain first…getting the job.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">That meant helping people fix their search, knowing they'd leave me once they succeeded.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It was a sacrifice, but a necessary one if I wanted to serve for the long haul.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This week's lesson shares (in under 4 minutes) how I created a long-term vision for my career success.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">And how you can build yours using the same approach.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Most people think success comes from constant hustle.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It doesn't. It comes from patience mixed with smart action.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Most people chase quick wins.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I learned the real secret is patience mixed with purpose.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">When you think long-term, you make better short-term decisions.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You stop chasing every shiny idea and start stacking small wins that lead to something big.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Back in 2015, I made a decision that tested every ounce of my patience.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Even though I was most qualified to teach leadership, I didn't start there.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">My long-term vision was to become a one-stop shop for your career.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">But to earn that, I needed to start by solving your most acute pain first…getting the job.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">That meant helping people fix their search, knowing they'd leave me once they succeeded.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It was a sacrifice, but a necessary one if I wanted to serve for the long haul.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This week's lesson shares (in under 4 minutes) how I created a long-term vision for my career success.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">And how you can build yours using the same approach.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2.

And then they have more seats to fill. All these employee mobility spikes mean opportunities for you. But only if you're in the game! </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> If you step off the gas now, you're handing those jobs to someone else.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> That's what I cover in today's podcast…</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1.

<description><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Last month I celebrated my 59th.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It had me reflecting on the biggest influences that rerouted my path, especially the books that shaped my mindset, my career, my health, and even my view of the universe.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">These aren't just books I enjoyed.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They are turning points that literally changed how I live.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Some helped me become a better teacher, others taught me discipline and financial independence, and a few opened up my sense of purpose.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Here's the list in the same order I cover them, with a personal note on why each mattered to me.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Mindset, Self-Discovery</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Sweat-Small-Stuff-Its/dp/0786881852/">Don't Sweat the Small Stuff<span style="font-weight: normal;">, Richard Carlson</span></a></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> I stumbled into this book in 1997 after literally knocking over a stack of them in Barnes & Noble. It sparked my lifelong love of self-help. Its short chapters and practical reminders taught me to let go of stress and focus on what actually matters, which helped me lead my teams (and my life) with a clearer head.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Youll-See-When-Believe-Transformation/dp/0060937335"> You'll See It When You Believe It<span style= "font-weight: normal;">, Wayne Dyer</span></a></strong><br /> This is the book I've re-read more than any other, sometimes daily for weeks at a time. Dyer's lessons on manifestation and the "seven attachments" helped me release ego, control, and the need to be right, which created more peace and focus in every area of my life.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Stumbling-Happiness-Daniel-Gilbert/dp/1400077427"> Stumbling on Happiness<span style="font-weight: normal;">, Daniel Gilbert</span></a></strong><br /> Gilbert proves we're never as happy or as sad as we think we'll be, because we can't fully predict our future selves. This freed me from chasing perfection and helped me embrace the journey, knowing joy comes more from growth than from reaching the finish line.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Storytelling, Career Transformation</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Made-Stick-Ideas-Survive-Others-ebook/dp/B000N2HCKQ/"> Made to Stick, <span style="font-weight: normal;">Chip and Dan Heath</span></a></strong><br /> A dearly-departed friend gifted me this book in December 2007, and it completely changed how I thought about communication. Its framework for making ideas memorable became the foundation of my Interview Intervention methodology, and eventually the blueprint for the storytelling systems I still teach today.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/free-hardcover-copy-of-interview-intervention"> Interview Intervention, <span style="font-weight: normal;">Yours Truly</span></a></strong><br /> I wrote this book in just five weeks at the end of 2011, and it completely transformed my career.

Wallace's simple but profound message, that you can choose what to think about, has reshaped how I approach daily life, teaching me to stay present and compassionate in the middle of life's noise. It also served at the stimulation for the next book on this list.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Out-Reach-but-Sight-Impossible/dp/1493739980/"> Out of Reach But in Sight, <span style="font-weight: normal;">Me Again</span></a></strong><br /> Born from a keynote I gave to scholarship students, I turned the speech into a book. Capturing timeless lessons on setting and pursuing goals, it later evolved into my Goal Setting Masterclass and proved how small steps can inspire big transformations.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Wealth, Health</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Millionaire-Next-Door-Surprising-Americas/dp/1589795474/"> The Millionaire Next Door, <span style= "font-weight: normal;">Thomas Stanley and William Danko</span></a></strong><br /> At 30, this book confirmed that wealth is built through discipline, not high income. It cemented my lifelong approach of living below my means, investing early, and building habits that would later help me achieve financial independence and peace of mind.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Good-Energy-Surprising-Connection-Metabolism/dp/0593712641"> Good Energy, <span style="font-weight: normal;">Casey Means</span></a></strong><br /> Of the 70+ health books I've read, this one had the most immediate impact on my life. Understanding metabolic health and cutting refined sugars, refined grains, and seed oils gave me more energy, clarity, and resilience than I thought possible. I've felt sharper and healthier ever since.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>My Life's Work, Beyond</strong><strong> </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Zebra-Code-Step-Step-Professional/dp/B0CNDDJBNY"> The Zebra Code, <span style="font-weight: normal;">The New Me</span></a></strong><br /> This is my most ambitious book, and easily the toughest project I've ever taken on. It demanded every ounce of experience, discipline, and creativity I had, but it also gave me the chance to share the full methodology I believe can help any professional thrive.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Souls-Studies-Between-Lives/dp/1567184855/"> Journey of Souls, <span style="font-weight: normal;">Michael Newton</span></a></strong><br /> This book opened my mind to ideas about past and future lives, whether you take them literally or not. It gave me a new lens for thinking about purpose, why I might be wired the way I am, and how being open to bigger questions can deepen the way you live today.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">These aren't just books on a shelf.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They're turning points in my story.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Please add any of these to your own shelf that speak to you.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Maybe they can be turning points in your story too!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1.

I need 75 quiet minutes!"</p> <p class="MsoNormal">But here's the truth…</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I wasn't just recording an audiobook.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I was chasing a big goal that was important to me.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Writing a book is one thing.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Giving voice to it, putting myself on record, was something else entirely.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Big goals aren't really about the <em>thing</em> you achieve.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They're about who you become in the pursuit. (In this case, hopefully, not a total lunatic. <span style= "font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji'; mso-ascii-font-family: Avenir; mso-hansi-font-family: Avenir; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-symbol-font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji';"> 🤣</span>)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They stretch your patience, your creativity, your confidence, and yes… even your relationships with ducks.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This week's video is all about this truth.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">What really happens to you when you work toward a massive goal (and why the transformation almost never looks the way you expect)?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you've ever set an ambitious goal, whether career-related, personal, or financial, you'll see yourself in this.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">And if you haven't yet?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It might just give you the push to start.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">It was 3:08 in the morning.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">May of last year.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I was in my office already a lofty 8 minutes into my day.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Headphones on, speaking (uh, reading) into a microphone… and yelling at ducks.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Yes, ducks.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">As I tried to record a passage for <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Zebra-Code-Step-Step-Professional/dp/B0CNDDJBNY"> The Zebra Code</a></em> audiobook, those feathered freeloaders on my backyard lake quacked like it was their job.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I must've sounded like a lunatic, hollering "Come on! I need 75 quiet minutes!"</p> <p class="MsoNormal">But here's the truth…</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I wasn't just recording an audiobook.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I was chasing a big goal that was important to me.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Writing a book is one thing.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Giving voice to it, putting myself on record, was something else entirely.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Big goals aren't really about the <em>thing</em> you achieve.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They're about who you become in the pursuit. (In this case, hopefully, not a total lunatic. 🤣)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They stretch your patience, your creativity, your confidence, and yes… even your relationships with ducks.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This week's video is all about this truth.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">What really happens to you when you work toward a massive goal (and why the transformation almost never looks the way you expect)?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you've ever set an ambitious goal, whether career-related, personal, or financial, you'll see yourself in this.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">And if you haven't yet?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It might just give you the push to start.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2.

As is, heck to the no!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's not about what the interviewer asks.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's about what the interviewer needs to know—so they hire YOU!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Today, you're in luck because you opened this newsletter which leads to a video on my YouTube Channel that teaches THE VERY BEST way to prepare for ANY job interview.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">After you watch this, you'll wonder why you ever prepared differently.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You'll also start seeing magical results…</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1.

<description><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Are you getting paid what you're worth?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">That was actually a trick question because there's absolutely no way for you to know exactly what you're worth.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You're worth is dependent on what someone else is willing to pay for you at this exact moment in time.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You are like a stock, a house, or anything else whose value is determined by someone else's desires, needs, challenges, and other factors which you know very little about.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Even though your daily worth is a mystery, there are ways to determine what a potential employer feels you are worth—today.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Wouldn't you know it? I have a video to help you better understand how to discover this.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Inside, you'll hear me say funny stuff like, "Salary negotiation is not a transactional event. You do not win a salary negotiation. What you do… is from the time you send a cover letter and a resume or apply online or boss hunt […] from that moment with everything you do and everything you say and everything you don't do and everything you don't say until the time you counter their job offer […] that's the negotiation."</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Gimme 17 minutes and 43 seconds of your life. It'll be worth it. Pun totally intended.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2. I have hundreds of educational and inspirational videos on <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/andylacivita">my YouTube Channel</a>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">3. Grab any of my three books related to interviewing, hiring, and goal setting. All can be found on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Andrew-LaCivita/e/B007L3YKBO?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3&qid=1646140512&sr=1-3"> my Amazon Author Page</a>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">4.

<link><![CDATA[https://andrewlacivita.libsyn.com/how-to-build-your-career-development-plan-step-by-step]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">I spent every single day between December 3rd, 2022 and May 30th, 2023 working on something that really matters me—writing a book that'll help you achieve a level of career attainment and satisfaction that matches your abilities.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Of course, you didn't know I was doing that. And, you won't be able to hold my little beauty until August 6, 2024. (You can, however, <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Zebra-Code-Step-Step-Professional/dp/B0CNDDJBNY/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1703718625&refinements=p_27%3AAndrew+LaCivita&s=books&sr=1-1"> pre-order it here!</a>)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Even so, that doesn't mean we can't do some sneak previewing between now and then.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">See, my two least favorite words in any language are "unrealized potential."</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It literally hurt me to type them.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The sad fact is most people (at least most I've ever met) spend their entire careers in jobs well below their talent level.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Might you be?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Why do you think this is?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">My opinion is "professional growth" is a maze. Honestly.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Have you ever felt lost, unsure of which skills to prioritize, or how to chart your career path effectively?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">These are common challenges many people face, resulting in unrealized potential (ouch, again) and missed opportunities.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In our professional, that is, post-academic world, traditional guidance is scarce and we're left to figure it out on our own.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's helpful to have an experienced professor-like mentor who comes equipped with a structured syllabus of the most-impactful professional skills and sequenced lessons to help you navigate the intricacies of career development.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">One that can help you craft and implement your personalized, effective, strategic career growth plan. (This would be moi if that wasn't obvi.)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Pause for a second. Humor me. Can you imagine a future where your career aligns perfectly with your abilities? One where you consistently achieve success and satisfaction?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Like virtually everything in our world today, it's only a click away…</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2. I have hundreds of educational and inspirational videos on <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/andylacivita">my YouTube Channel</a>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">3.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">I spent every single day between December 3rd, 2022 and May 30th, 2023 working on something that really matters me—writing a book that'll help you achieve a level of career attainment and satisfaction that matches your abilities.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Of course, you didn't know I was doing that. And, you won't be able to hold my little beauty until August 6, 2024. (You can, however, <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Zebra-Code-Step-Step-Professional/dp/B0CNDDJBNY/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1703718625&refinements=p_27%3AAndrew+LaCivita&s=books&sr=1-1"> pre-order it here!</a>)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Even so, that doesn't mean we can't do some sneak previewing between now and then.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">See, my two least favorite words in any language are "unrealized potential."</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It literally hurt me to type them.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The sad fact is most people (at least most I've ever met) spend their entire careers in jobs well below their talent level.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Might you be?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Why do you think this is?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">My opinion is "professional growth" is a maze. Honestly.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Have you ever felt lost, unsure of which skills to prioritize, or how to chart your career path effectively?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">These are common challenges many people face, resulting in unrealized potential (ouch, again) and missed opportunities.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In our professional, that is, post-academic world, traditional guidance is scarce and we're left to figure it out on our own.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's helpful to have an experienced professor-like mentor who comes equipped with a structured syllabus of the most-impactful professional skills and sequenced lessons to help you navigate the intricacies of career development.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">One that can help you craft and implement your personalized, effective, strategic career growth plan. (This would be moi if that wasn't obvi.)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Pause for a second. Humor me. Can you imagine a future where your career aligns perfectly with your abilities? One where you consistently achieve success and satisfaction?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Like virtually everything in our world today, it's only a click away…</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2.

<description><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">We're not in a recession at the moment, but I don't like to be late to the party.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Even if we enter a recession, I don't want you to panic for a few reasons.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">First, panic doesn't do anyone any good.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Second, you have me.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Third, there are always opportunities for you regardless of whether your world is zigging or zagging.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You just need the right perspective.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">How you look at something has almost everything to do with what you see.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">For example, here's how I process the world…</p> <p class="MsoNormal">When the market goes up, people need my job searching services to max out their job opps and crank up their pay.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">When the market goes down, people need my job searching services to overcome the more difficult challenges in getting hired.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">When some industries zig, others zag. At any moment, some people need my "crank up your pay" services and others need my "overcome challenges" services.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I'm ALWAYS needed.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Think I'm unique? Think again.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Same goes for you.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's all in how you choose to look at it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Recently, Rachel, one of my beloved #BOOTCAMPERS, asked me, "Which industries do you predict are most likely to grow during this economic downturn?"</p> <p class="MsoNormal">First, I clarified for her, we are not in an economic downturn.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sure, the news people might be doing their level best to scare you. That's the thing about "the news." They only talk about the tiniest of extremes. If it bleeds, it leads. They're in business (yes, business) to make money, not be a public service that actually delivers "the news."</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They package up the most sensationalized extremes to get your eyes, ears, clicks, etc. You think what you're seeing is pervasive and normal. Then you become frightened. Then you call your children and tell them to stay in the house.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Andy Sunshine is here to tell, that while you're allowed to have rough stretches, all is generally wonderful and he wants to make YOUR world a better place.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, after I clarified that bit of economic reality for Rachel, I gave her the goods on HOW to think through which markets will thrive and HOW to think through your job search should your particular industry take a turn for the worse.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Take in this week's podcast on How to Job Search During a Recession and learn exactly how to maneuver through any employment environment.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1.

<description><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Skills. You have 'em. I know you do.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Can you demonstrate them? Do you know which ones to shine the light on?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's important. Always. Just more important now.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Inflation is hovering around 6%.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Unemployment is roughly 3.6%.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Our US Fed is trying to manage inflation by raising interest rates.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We're trying the disinflation thing which means a slowdown in the rate of inflation even though inflation is still positive.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The last 10 times this happened, for every 2% reduction in inflation, unemployment went up 3.6%. (That's historical fact.)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's linear-ish, so each 2% drop in inflation means 3.6% increase in unemployment.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, let's carry a few numbers.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">That means if we want to get back down to ~ 2% inflation, we might be adding 7.2% to the unemployment rate = 10.8%.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Ouch.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I bet when you opened this email you didn't think you'd be getting an econ lesson!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Don't worry.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You have me. You read my messages. You prolly watch my videos and join my live shows.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You're covered.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I'll continue to keep you updated on the skills, tips, tricks, and techniques to keep you razor sharp, employed, and getting paid well!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Check out this week's all-out lesson on which skills employers love and why…</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2.

Do you know which ones to shine the light on?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's important. Always. Just more important now.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Inflation is hovering around 6%.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Unemployment is roughly 3.6%.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Our US Fed is trying to manage inflation by raising interest rates.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We're trying the disinflation thing which means a slowdown in the rate of inflation even though inflation is still positive.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The last 10 times this happened, for every 2% reduction in inflation, unemployment went up 3.6%. (That's historical fact.)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It's linear-ish, so each 2% drop in inflation means 3.6% increase in unemployment.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, let's carry a few numbers.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">That means if we want to get back down to ~ 2% inflation, we might be adding 7.2% to the unemployment rate = 10.8%.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Ouch.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I bet when you opened this email you didn't think you'd be getting an econ lesson!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Don't worry.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You have me.

I'm not sure how you'll fit." So, she needed to get her storytelling in order and "feed the funnel!"</p> <p>So? What did she do about it?</p> <p>Listen to today's podcast as she shares exactly how she planned for and approached it, what she did, and what transpired.</p> <p>All I can say is, "Tracey, your table is ready."</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <ol> <li>Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</li> <li>I have hundreds of educational and inspirational videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/andylacivita">my YouTube Channel</a>.</li> <li>Grab any of my three books related to interviewing, hiring, and goal setting.

<description><![CDATA[<p>It's January, which translates to high recruitment season. That means employers are interviewing candidates like crazy.</p> <p>Even so, it's not exactly like shooting fish in a barrel if your résumé isn't up to snuff.</p> <p>No matter what month or year it is, you need to put a killer résumé together to not only show potential employers the value you can contribute, but also set the best table for yourself when you get into the interview.</p> <p>What do I always say?</p> <p>"Whenever you set out to do something, plan to win."</p> <p>Winning in this case means you're going to get the interview AND job offer.</p> <p>The problem is most job candidates don't think this many moves down the pipe.</p> <p>They hope for an interview.</p> <p>They hope they'll do well when they get into the interview.</p> <p>They don't concentrate on planting all the seeds throughout the entire interviewing process to ensure they have the most leverage when they actually receive the job offer.</p> <p>Well, today, you're in luck because I've got a spectrum of goodies that cover how to make your résumé standout by putting in it exactly what employers want to know.</p> <p>Because I'm so confident they want to know this, I'm certain they'll ask you about it in the interview.</p> <p>That's why I'm not only going to show you what goes into the résumé as it relates to your bullet points, but also how to turn those bullets into interview stories.</p> <p>I even have a case study in there for you!</p> <p>Join me for today's podcast how to make your résumé stand out and interview stories shine in 2023!</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <ol> <li>Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</li> <li>I have hundreds of educational and inspirational videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/andylacivita">my YouTube Channel</a>.</li> <li>Grab any of my three books related to interviewing, hiring, and goal setting.

<description><![CDATA[<p>January is a great, if not the best, time to search for a new job.</p> <p>It just is.

They know the best employees will be mobile, so they want to hire those best employees.</p> <p>They also pray their best employees don't go all mobile on them…as in create unplanned vacancies!</p> <p>I've been working for 35 years as an executive in small and large companies, a business owner, executive recruiter, and career coach.</p> <p>A little street cred I'd hope you'd say…</p> <p>…and I'd say, every year I've worked, I watch history repeat itself as employers reflect, think, rethink, plan, and scale.</p> <p>This should matter to you whether you're looking for a new job or not!</p> <p>And, you should use this opportunity to position yourself advantageously.</p> <p>What exactly do you need to do?</p> <p>It's in today's podcast on Job Search Tips for the New Year.

<description><![CDATA[<p>I've long claimed no matter how successful you are, you'll never feel successful if you don't reflect.</p> <p>Reflection is a skill. It's a tool. It's powerful in that multi-dimensional sorta way.</p> <p>True reflection requires time, effort, and discipline, which usually means most people won't do it.</p> <p>The great news is a little bit of reflection goes a long way. I do it daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually.

<description><![CDATA[<p>I have this expression whenever I undertake something new.</p> <p>Mind you, this is something I say to myself AND I only say it after I'm certain of two things.</p> <p>First, I'm getting great instruction from someone who actually knows what they're doing. (You don't always find the right coach on your first attempt. Unless you found me on your first attempt. Then, lucky you. Ha ha!)</p> <p>Second, I've made a commitment to the effort.</p> <p>Once those prerequisites are in order, I tell myself…</p> <p>"Shut up and put in the reps."</p> <p>That's my north-side-of-Chicago-neighborhood-y way of saying, "Don't question stuff yet. Get in there. Do the work. Build the discipline. Gather the data. Then adjust only after you've experienced and know more."</p> <p>Until I reach that point, I haven't earned the right to question anything.</p> <p>When it comes to job searching, I gave you the put-in-the-reps formula to help you find your dream job the fastest.</p> <p>I did that all the way back in November 2018 and again in the summer of 2019 and then again in the fall of 2019.</p> <p>It's my Job Search Challenge®, which I designed so you would know which activities within the job search actually lead to the results you want.</p> <p>As a quick recap, I distilled it down into manageable activities:</p> <ol> <li>Target 3 companies (potential employers) each day.</li> <li>Identify one individual in those 3 companies each day (e.g., boss, senior person, HR, recruiter, teammate).</li> <li>Send a thoughtful message in the direction of, if not directly to, those individuals each day.</li> </ol> <p>Easy breezy.</p> <p>A put-in-the-reps kinda formula that is simple enough to understand with a narrow-enough focus to keep you concentrated on the right activities. Plus, you can easily gather insight and data to assess what is working or make the proper adjustments.</p> <p>It works.</p> <p>Let's say you believe me…</p> <p>It's 2022. You might think we live in a totally different world now.</p> <p>But, 99.9% of what I teach you will never go out of style.</p> <p>Even so, I'm always looking to amp up my game and I want you to amp up yours.</p> <p>So, I've created a next-level-job-search-challenge that goes beyond the shut-up-and-put-in-the-reps techniques.</p> <p>It's my hope this advanced approach will go beyond helping you achieve the results you want.</p> <p><strong>I want you to not only experience the job search, but also gain all the benefits this experience can offer you.</strong></p> <p>Don't just job search. That might lead to just a job.</p> <p>Truly experience what you're doing so that experience and the benefits you receive because of it continue to pay you back for the rest of your life.</p> <p>Make sure before you take in this episode today you listen to the Job Search Challenge® Put-In-The-Reps Version (Part 1).</p> <p>And, of course, enjoy the souped-up Job Search Challenge® | Advanced Level Tactics Version (Part 2).</p> <p>Go get 'em.</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p>1.

<description><![CDATA[<p>Empathy doesn't sound sexy, but it's like still water that runs deep. It's like roots of giant trees you wonder how can possibly stand so tall. And, yet, so few people are actually empathetic. Why?</p> <p>Because you have never, not ever, had an experience that you were not at the absolute center of. Your thoughts and feelings about those experiences are automatic.</p> <p>My experience of the same scene needs to be communicated to you. My feelings need to be communicated to you. And even if I did that perfectly, you still wouldn't be able to know exactly how I feel.</p> <p>That's because my current experience (with you) is nuanced by all the other experiences I've had. Which, by the way, you haven't had!</p> <p>So, how is one to become a better person, better communicator, better at understanding their friends, partners, and spouses.</p> <p>How does one become better at providing service or anticipating reactions or so many other desired life and business skills?</p> <p>You need to stop being automatic.</p> <p>The formula is not hard. The practice and execution are excruciatingly hard.</p> <p>So hard that so many give up so easily. So? So, don't let that be you!</p> <p>Join me for today's podcast to learn a simple, yet very effective formula for developing empathy!</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p>1.

It'll be worth it!</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p>1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p>2. I have hundreds of educational and inspirational videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/andylacivita">my YouTube Channel</a>.</p> <p>3.

<description><![CDATA[<p>Time management is dead. I don't even use a daily to-do list. No lie. Haven't for years. Why? Because daily to-do lists are where the important, but not-urgent tasks go to die.</p> <p>You know the ones…the ones you should be doing, but don't because you always seem to get distracted by the shorties (my endearing term for those "urgent," short-term tasks).</p> <p>Those "urgent," non-important acts are bad, bad, bad.</p> <p>Those little culprits not only prevent you from working the important, long-term stuff, but also seem to drain you of your energy.</p> <p>So, long ago I said, "No more!" to daily to-do lists and time management.</p> <p>I said, "Heck yes!" to energy management.</p> <p>Don't get me wrong. I have lists. Killer lists. Just not daily to-do lists.</p> <p>And, if you've ever seen one of my live shows, you know I have no trouble with my energy.</p> <p>If you want to know how I plan my day so I never run out of energy (and get a ton of stuff done), join me for today's podcast!</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p>1.

<description><![CDATA[<p>Remember in school when the snazzy collegiate prof handed you a syllabus? (Ha ha) Syllabi were great because you knew what to study, when to study it, and someone who actually knew what they were doing gave you the right order to study the stuff. No matter what era you were born in, whether you're an old fogie like me or a young gun, the "syllabus of professional skills" has been the same for pretty much all time. And, it ain't changin' any eons soon. Problem is, I've never seen one, so I had to invent my own.</p> <p>In the lesson, I share my very nicely organized roadmap of skills building. It'll help you get those skills built in the right order and with compounding effect to the amazement of your soon-to-be envious co-workers, not to mention your forever-grateful customers (whoever they might be)!</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p>1.

<description><![CDATA[<p>We all need them…I mean if you really want to grow. Mentors. Coaches. Trainers. Gurus. Oh my. I've long considered having a real-life, face-to-face mentor a luxury, not a need. I still do. But, I think everyone will benefit from having online trainers and coaches. It's never been easier in the history of history to find, follow, and learn from them.</p> <p>But, what comes with this ease is also confusion. Why? There's not just a low barrier to entry to become a "guru" or "expert," there is literally NO barrier to entry. Got a cell phone and an Internet connection and you can label yourself "a pro!" So how do you know who's good and who's good for you? Simple. I break it all down for you in today's episode! PS: I hope I pass my own test! LOL!</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p>1.

<description><![CDATA[<p>Every week, I speak directly to 10 or so awesome job-seekers. One thing I've noticed lately is many of them have a common issue. It's more prevalent with senior people (whether senior in level or age), but it's fairly rampant if you've been working for any decent amount of time. I would go so far as to say, it's THE domino. The one, when it falls, makes all the others fall…into place. Check out this week's show on the ONE change that will improve your entire job search to find out what it is and how to dial it in!</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p>1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p>2.

<description><![CDATA[<p>We need to talk about fear. Fear, like failure, must exist for you to achieve your greatest heights. It must be present, but we don't want it to stand in your way. When it leaves me, I get a little skittish I might not be pushing myself hard enough or aiming high enough. A life without fear—to me—is no fun. A life with fear you constantly tame is absolutely euphoric. That's why I'm sharing 7 tricks I use to make sure fear doesn't stand in my way of achieving my goals!</p> <p>If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:</p> <p>1. Check out the <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/">milewalk Academy</a>, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.</p> <p>2. I have hundreds of educational and inspirational videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/andylacivita">my YouTube Channel</a>.</p> <p>3.

I know there are a lot of you out there puzzled because I get the emails and I get the questions on my YouTube channel and blog.</p> <p>You're wondering how to answer this. You say, "Ugh, I'm not sure where to start. I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to share. I don't want to share the wrong things."</p> <p>What you should be thinking is, "Yes. Thank you Mr. Unskilled Job Interviewer for lobbing me that sweet softball question so I can now totally control the interview and dazzle you with my professional highlight reel. So buckle up and prepare to be amazed."</p> <p>That's what should be going through your head because you now get to offer up whatever it is you want to share.</p> <p><strong>Do's, Don'ts, Always, and Never-Evers…</strong></p> <p>Before we get into the "here's how," I want to talk a little bit about the do's and don'ts to get you positioned in the right spot before you walk them through.</p> <p>First thing I want you to do is [it's actually before the interview ever starts, day before, week before, whenever it is, I want you to] look at your resume!</p> <p><strong>1]</strong> Look at the job description and determine what areas or activities or accomplishments in your resume most closely align and best suit you to do that role effectively. Think about those.</p> <p>Grab this tool to help you: <a href= "https://milewalk.lpages.co/leadbox/1430d183bf72a2:17fd80be1346dc/5731824118530048/">Career Achievements Journal: 14 Points That make You Marketable, Get You Promoted, and Accelerate Your Career</a>.</p> <p>It's got 14 great areas to investigate about any major project you do in your professional career.</p> <p>It'll provide questions to ask yourself and information to gather that will be wonderful to share [whether with your current employer or a perspective employer].</p> <p>I want you to think through the resume and how it aligns to what it is they need in an employee. That's the first do.</p> <p><strong>2]</strong> The second "do" is make sure you bring a copy of your resume to the job interview.</p> <p>It's something a lot of people forget to do, but here's why you need it.</p> <p>You cannot be sure the job interviewer's actually going to have a copy. Even if he or she does have a copy, it's highly likely they have not read it. I know it's sad, but it's true.</p> <p>They're that lazy, which is why they asked you to walk them through it. They want <em>you</em> to read it to them. Extra sad face.</p> <p><strong>3]</strong> You also want to make sure before you start you know what direction to go. Ask them.</p> <p>There are basically three directions you can go through this exercise.</p> <ol> <li>You can start at the beginning of your professional life and walk them through your resume up to today. Ask them, "Do you want me to start at the beginning and bring you current?"</li> <li>You can start with today and go in reverse chronological order and work backwards to the beginning of your professional career.</li> <li>You can cherry pick those areas for them to determine whether you're a good fit for the job and have best prepared you for the role?</li> </ol> <p>They'll probably want you to go from the beginning of time to today, but regardless of which direction, you'll know.</p> <p><strong>4]</strong> Don't read them what's on the resume. Don't look at your resume and start reading. You'll be very dry.</p> <p><strong>5]</strong> Don't [just] talk about the activities you have on the resume. You'll lose them. You'll lose their attention. It's not that exciting what you were responsible for.</p> <p><strong>Here's how to roll…</strong></p> <p>Once you know what direction they want you to go (most of them are going to want you to go from the beginning of time till today), start going through your resume.</p> <p>When you start at the beginning (now for many of you I know that was 10, 20, or 30 years ago) remember not all the information on your resume is created equal in helping you get that job. It's not all as relevant.</p> <p>For those areas, especially the ones at the beginning of your career, I want you to walk through those very, very quickly.</p> <p>If I was interviewing and someone wanted to interview me for a practice leadership position and asked me to walk them through my resume, I might say, "I got out of college and started working as a programmer and then I became a designer and then I started managing projects that implemented software solutions."</p> <p>That took me [less than] 10 seconds to go through five years of my career because it's not very relevant!</p> <p>But, they asked you to start there so that's what you want to do. You want to go through the less critical areas very quickly.</p> <p>Then, when you get to a spot in your career where you think you have a home run accomplishment or achievement, take your opportunity to shine.</p> <p>Give them context on what was happening in that project. What did you do? What was the business benefit? Who were you doing it for? Who were you doing it with? How much money did you save them? How much revenue did you generate them?</p> <p>Get the <a href= "https://milewalk.lpages.co/leadbox/1430d183bf72a2:17fd80be1346dc/5731824118530048/">career achievements journal</a> I mentioned earlier to help you tell that story. It'll help bring context and color.</p> <p>Then move onto the next one and so on and so forth.</p> <p><strong>Oh. I know what you're thinking…</strong></p> <p>You might be thinking, "Andy, I could go on for an hour talking about myself, my resume."</p> <p>GOOD!</p> <p>Good, go do that. You get to script exactly what it is that you want to say.</p> <p>You might be thinking, "I'm not really sure. Maybe I'm running off at the mouth. I might bore them."</p> <p>There's ways after you hit each major area in your resume, just take a pause, look over to the interviewer and just say, "Is that enough there? Did you have anymore questions about that? Did you want to discuss that any further? How am I doing? Should I go onto the next point?" Just do what you need to do to give yourself a quick break.</p> <p>The fact of the matter is they turned control of the interview over to you so you now get to blueprint the dialogue that occurs.</p> <p>You get to tell them what you want to tell them, not what they want to ask you. That's the wonderful thing about getting asked that question early in the interview.</p> <p>If you want to learn more about how to respond to their questions or how to tell stories in a job interview, check out my free webinar called <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/webinar-3-keys-to-ace-any-job-interview">3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview</a>.

I know you all have varying degrees of confidence. Whoever you are, however confident or non-confident you are, think about when you were most confident.</p> <p>You probably felt super-knowledgeable about what you were doing or discussing. Knowledge breeds confidence.</p> <p>You also probably felt very prepared. Preparation breeds confidence.</p> <p>So, the first thing I want you to do is just take a deep breath. Remember, if you are in a job interview, you are likely qualified for that job and you can do it effectively. That's why the employer invited you in for an interview. So take some comfort in that.</p> <p>Now, the preparation part is something I can really help you with. That's what we're going to focus on in this video.</p> <p>Before we dive into that, I want you to think about the context of three biggest aspects of what's happening in a job interview:</p> <ul> <li>You've got you, and your story, and what you're all about.</li> <li>You've got the employer, the questions they're going to ask you, and the responses you give them for them to determine whether you're a good fit.</li> <li>You've got the questions you're going to ask the employer to determine if they're a good fit for you.</li> </ul> <ol> <li><strong>Know your story.</strong></li> </ol> <p>I'm sure some of you are out there thinking, <em>Andy, I live with myself all the time! Of course I know my story.</em></p> <p>I won't argue with that, but there's a huge difference between knowing what you've done, being able to recall it in detail under duress, bringing real life into it with the color and details you give your story when you share it with somebody.</p> <p>Let's paint the scene. You start the interview. It's all about your story in the beginning.</p> <p>Somebody just asked you, "Tell me about yourself." Or how about this one, "Walk me through your resume." That's the best because now you can waltz right through it, you've got your resume to use as a crutch.</p> <p>Like I said, remembering what it is you did isn't so difficult. But, being able to share your story with some real life, that's where the confidence comes in.</p> <p>So, before you go into a job interview, I want you to think back.

I know you all have varying degrees of confidence. Whoever you are, however confident or non-confident you are, think about when you were most confident.</p> <p>You probably felt super-knowledgeable about what you were doing or discussing. Knowledge breeds confidence.</p> <p>You also probably felt very prepared. Preparation breeds confidence.</p> <p>So, the first thing I want you to do is just take a deep breath. Remember, if you are in a job interview, you are likely qualified for that job and you can do it effectively. That's why the employer invited you in for an interview. So take some comfort in that.</p> <p>Now, the preparation part is something I can really help you with. That's what we're going to focus on in this video.</p> <p>Before we dive into that, I want you to think about the context of three biggest aspects of what's happening in a job interview:</p> <ul> <li>You've got you, and your story, and what you're all about.</li> <li>You've got the employer, the questions they're going to ask you, and the responses you give them for them to determine whether you're a good fit.</li> <li>You've got the questions you're going to ask the employer to determine if they're a good fit for you.</li> </ul> <ol> <li>Know your story.</li> </ol> <p>I'm sure some of you are out there thinking, <em>Andy, I live with myself all the time! Of course I know my story.</em></p> <p>I won't argue with that, but there's a huge difference between knowing what you've done, being able to recall it in detail under duress, bringing real life into it with the color and details you give your story when you share it with somebody.</p> <p>Let's paint the scene. You start the interview. It's all about your story in the beginning.</p> <p>Somebody just asked you, "Tell me about yourself." Or how about this one, "Walk me through your resume." That's the best because now you can waltz right through it, you've got your resume to use as a crutch.</p> <p>Like I said, remembering what it is you did isn't so difficult. But, being able to share your story with some real life, that's where the confidence comes in.</p> <p>So, before you go into a job interview, I want you to think back. Sit down with your resume, pour your favorite cup of coffee, and sit at the coffee table. You've got no distractions. You're not under any duress.</p> <p>Go through your resume and think through the highlights on your resume and all the bullets you've got laid out there. What was actually happening at the time you were doing that?</p> <p>Remember, some of these activities you performed might be ten years old, but they could still be very, very relevant to what the employer wants to know. Who was on the project?</p> <p>What were you doing? Think about what the air smelled like.

These are the exact same three tips I gave one of my <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/interview-intervention-course-by-andrew-lacivita" target="_blank">Interview Intervention Course</a> students, Hannah. She used them to get the job on her second interview. [Hannah, if you're watching, shout out to you. Hope you're enjoying the new job!</p> <p>For the rest of you, I want you to know the second interviews are not much different—tactically—than the first interviews.</p> <p>All those <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP1UlYJH_QL4m5HVyikcxfQ" target= "_blank">videos I've created on job interview tactics</a> and my <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/webinar-3-keys-to-ace-any-job-interview" target="_blank">FREE webinar 3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview</a>will teach you how to answer and ask questions in a job interview. Use all that as foundational stuff.</p> <p><strong>The second interview is about building deeper connections…</strong></p> <p>The second job interview is about building a deeper connection, a deeper relationship, and more chemistry with the entire company.</p> <p>It is about getting them to imagine you as part of the team. You want them to feel as though you're part of the team.</p> <p>So, how do you do that?</p> <p>Sometimes when you're invited back, you are speaking with the same people you spoke with the first time, sometimes they're new people, and sometimes it's a mixture.</p> <p>Use these tactics across the board and adjust appropriately based on who you're speaking with…</p> <ol> <li><strong>Ask Again.</strong></li> </ol> <p>The first technique I would use is when you are speaking with somebody you have previously spoken with (whether on the phone or in an interview).</p> <p>Ask about something you've already spoken about. I call this the "ask again" technique.</p> <p>Say, "Last time I was here you mentioned [insert whatever here]. It really stuck with me. I thought more about it and I wanted to get more insight into that as it relates to [insert whatever here.] Could you elaborate…"</p> <p>This starts a deeper discussion on something you've already spoken about. Going deeper into the conversation on something both of you consider very important builds a deeper relationship.</p> <ol start="2"> <li><strong>Ask More.</strong></li> </ol> <p>The second tactic is to ask additional (new) questions. If you are speaking with somebody who you've previously spoken with previously, you want to make sure you're asking him or her a new batch of questions.</p> <p>If you're speaking with someone you haven't spoken with, make sure you have lots and lots of great questions.</p> <p>If you're not sure where to get these great questions, go to my <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/webinar-3-keys-to-ace-any-job-interview" target="_blank">FREE webinar 3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview</a> because all attendees receive a FREE <strong>eBook called How to Interview the Employer: 75 Great Questions to Ask Before You Take Any Job</strong>.</p> <p>You will never run out of questions. Plus, this shows you are well-researched and you are very, very interested in investigating this company further. And, you're doing it in a smart way.</p> <ol start="3"> <li><strong>Be Inclusive.</strong></li> </ol> <p>The third tip is to be inclusive of other people. By that I mean, reference conversations you've had with others in the organization. [You can even use this in the first round of interviews.]</p> <p>Whether you're speaking with somebody you previously spoken with or you're speaking with new people, one the best tactics you can use is to refer to what you and someone spoke about and then ask for their opinion.</p> <p>For example, "I talked with Susie the other day and she mentioned [insert whatever here]. I loved that and I'd like to get your insight on that. Could you elaborate on that as it relates to [insert whatever here]?"</p> <p>Consider the person you're interviewing. Whether he or she is a subordinate of Susie's, a peer, or a superior, you can adjust the angle of trajectory of your questioning and take it in the direction of that particular individual.</p> <p>You're showing them you enjoyed speaking with Susie, you found what she said delightful, and also want their opinion.</p> <p>You value their opinion and they with naturally see you as a team player. [You certainly sound like one!]</p> <p>As you start to reference others in the organization in a sincere way, the interviewer will start to feel like you are part of the team.</p> <p>As a bonus, this gives you an opportunity to make sure there is a level of consistency across their responses. Are they all on the same page?</p> <p>If you like this video, give me a LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE!</p> <p><strong>Like this episode?</strong> Please share it via social media and review it on <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tips-for-work-life-andrew/id1120387046?mt=2&ls=1" target="_blank">iTunes</a>!

You're not sure if there's an opening.</p> <p>You're not sure if they'll welcome you. You're wondering <em>should I apply</em>? <em>If I apply, how should I apply?</em></p> <p><strong>First things first…</strong></p> <p>Should you apply or reach out to an organization when they don't have a job posting? Heck Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Three reasons:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Great organizations are always, always combing the world for the greatest talent.</strong> They're always in hiring mode, whether they have a budget for a new position or don't have a budget for a new position.</li> </ol> <p>They are constantly looking for the greatest resources because they know the greatest resources don't always come along or are available when they need them.</p> <ol start="2"> <li><strong>They'll trade up.</strong> If there are ten people in an organization, there's at least one or two of them the company would be willing to trade out for a better performer. It's just simple math.</li> </ol> <p>Now start adding a zero to those numbers. If there are 100 people in the company, that's ten to 20 people they'd likely trade out.</p> <p>What about a 1,000 people in the company? That's 200 openings, even if they don't have extra budget to hire additional resources. There is still 10-20% of their organization they feel they can improve with better resources.</p> <ol start="3"> <li><strong>Less competition</strong>. There'll be a lot less competition. If there's no job posting, it's a deterrent for well more than 90% of the people. So most of them won't even try it.</li> </ol> <p>The ones who do, unless they're sitting next to you watching this video, they're not going to know exactly how to do that.</p> <p>This is going to give the recruiters and the HR people and the hiring officials more time to give your submittal more care and consideration.</p> <p><strong>Now, how should I do it?</strong></p> <p>There are seven areas to address in your introduction or your cover letter.</p> <p>When you want to target a company and don't see a job positing, reach out with this cover letter (introduction, email, etc.):</p> <ol> <li><strong>Why you're writing to them.</strong></li> </ol> <p>The reason I'm writing to you is because I want to join your company. But, you can't leave them there. You need to give them some context and some rationale as to why you want to work at that organization.</p> <ol start="2"> <li><strong>Your rationale for wanting to work there.</strong></li> </ol> <p>The reasons I want to work here are…based on my research…and then insert your rationale.</p> <ol start="3"> <li><strong>What you offer and why you're a great fit.</strong></li> </ol> <p>I offer X years of experience in this particular industry, doing these particular jobs which makes me a great fit to support your organization and the products and services it delivers. But you can't leave them there. You've got to drive a little nail into this one.

All that sets you in the right direction, but over the long-term, over a multi-decade career that simply will not be enough to be truly successful.</p> <p><strong>My 7 Key Success Factors for Business Networking</strong></p> <p>There are two areas I want to review about networking: what makes it successful and how to actually do it! So, let's review my seven key principles for how to do it successfully and then a five step plan of attack to execute those principles.</p> <ol> <li><strong>It's an all-the-time thing.</strong></li> </ol> <p>You need to do it all the time. If you only do it when you need it, you're not going to be successful. If you need to network, it's already too late if you don't already have a healthy one. Be very, very consistent.</p> <ol start="2"> <li><strong>Give value first. Take second.</strong></li> </ol> <p>Give value first to others before you ask for something. It could be anything. But whatever value you provide—your time, energy, education, favors—give it first.</p> <ol start="3"> <li><strong>Give more than you take.</strong></li> </ol> <p>Put more into the networking bank. Keep making deposits before you make withdrawals.</p> <ol start="4"> <li><strong>Do it live.</strong></li> </ol> <p>This is not an email thing. This is human interaction. This is building deeper relationships. This is spending time with people.</p> <ol start="5"> <li><strong>Do what you say you're going to do—build trust.</strong></li> </ol> <p>Always follow through. Whether you're providing information, making a referral, etc. You want to be known for having a good "word," being trustworthy, and being dependable.</p> <ol start="6"> <li><strong>Move it forward and expand their network.</strong></li> </ol> <p>If the interaction between you and me dies with you, you haven't helped me build my network. So, you want to make sure you're thinking <em>how can I help expand this person's network</em>? Who might be good for him or her to know? You want to pay it forward, you want to move it forward, and you want to expand their network. The point is for both of you to grow your networks.</p> <ol start="7"> <li><strong>Build a systematic plan that allows you to execute.</strong></li> </ol> <p>You need to build a plan that makes you consistent, organized, and working toward building a healthy network that meets your goal and the goals of others.</p> <p><strong>My 5-Step Plan to Build a Healthy Professional Network</strong></p> <p>This plan has served me well for multiple decades. It's also helped me build and keep and extremely healthy network. This process works</p> <p><strong>A. Set your networking goals.</strong></p> <p>The first place to start is to set your goals. Don't just start dialing up people and emailing them. That isn't going to get you where you need to be. You have to have a goal. And what do I mean by goals?</p> <p>There are many, but let's talk about four:</p> <ul> <li>Educations and advancement of your knowledge</li> <li>Camaraderie</li> <li>Job hunting</li> <li>Grow customers, partnerships, etc.</li> </ul> <p><strong>B. Build your relationship map by doing your research.</strong></p> <p>Who do you know who can move you toward your goals? Who do they know? Who do you want to know? Who might know them?</p> <p>Build a relationship map. Literally build one. It could be a list of people, could be a diagram, or whatever it is that you want to do.</p> <p><strong>C. Identify 60 to 100 people you can connect with who can help you meet your goals.</strong></p> <p>Build a nice list of individuals. Spend an hour or so each month identifying the right people for you to connect with and contact. Do your homework. Be aggressive.</p> <p><strong>D. Prepare standard messages you can modify.</strong></p> <p>Draft 3-4 templates you can use to contact people and they tailor each one (in the next step) based on your relationship with them.</p> <p><strong>E. "E" is for execute.</strong></p> <p>Execute a consistent reach out program. For me, I contact five people at the beginning of each month.</p> <p>I go through my list of people and my relationship map. I identify 5-6 people I'd like to contact. I either call them or email them to see if they want to get together (phone, coffee, lunch, dinner, etc.).</p> <p>Give them a week to get back to you. If some don't, start contacting others and so on and so forth.</p> <p>Five people might not sound like a lot, but keep in mind you want to actually get together or speak with them. This is about spending time!</p> <p>Adjust your plan according.</p> <p>The point isn't to do it exactly as I've laid it out. The point is to tailor this or some plan to accommodate your needs.</p> <p>Feel free to adjust accordingly based on your goals. Most importantly, have fun and be generous!</p> <p>If you enjoyed this video, give me a LIKE, COMMENT, and, of course SHARE with your friends. Expanding is what it's all about!</p> <p><strong>Like this episode?</strong> Please share it via social media and review it on <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tips-for-work-life-andrew/id1120387046?mt=2&ls=1" target="_blank">iTunes</a>!

Build your relationship map by doing your research.</p> <p>Who do you know who can move you toward your goals? Who do they know? Who do you want to know? Who might know them?</p> <p>Build a relationship map. Literally build one. It could be a list of people, could be a diagram, or whatever it is that you want to do.</p> <p>C. Identify 60 to 100 people you can connect with who can help you meet your goals.</p> <p>Build a nice list of individuals. Spend an hour or so each month identifying the right people for you to connect with and contact. Do your homework. Be aggressive.</p> <p>D. Prepare standard messages you can modify.</p> <p>Draft 3-4 templates you can use to contact people and they tailor each one (in the next step) based on your relationship with them.</p> <p>E. "E" is for execute.</p> <p>Execute a consistent reach out program. For me, I contact five people at the beginning of each month.</p> <p>I go through my list of people and my relationship map. I identify 5-6 people I'd like to contact. I either call them or email them to see if they want to get together (phone, coffee, lunch, dinner, etc.).</p> <p>Give them a week to get back to you. If some don't, start contacting others and so on and so forth.</p> <p>Five people might not sound like a lot, but keep in mind you want to actually get together or speak with them. This is about spending time!</p> <p>Adjust your plan according.</p> <p>The point isn't to do it exactly as I've laid it out. The point is to tailor this or some plan to accommodate your needs.</p> <p>Feel free to adjust accordingly based on your goals. Most importantly, have fun and be generous!</p> <p>If you enjoyed this video, give me a LIKE, COMMENT, and, of course SHARE with your friends.

Join career expert and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses career change success: the first 7 steps! <p>--------------------<br /> SEE FULL WEBISODE<br /> --------------------</p> <p>Career Change Success: The First 7 Steps on my Tips for Work and Life Blog with the video, podcast, full transcript, and more!: http://milewalk.com/mwblog/career-change-success-first-7-steps<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> CONNECT WITH ANDREW<br /> --------------------</p> <p>Join Andrew's email list: http://milewalk.com/mwblog<br /> Get Andrew's books and training: https://www.milewalkacademy.com<br /> Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andrewlacivita<br /> Twitter: https://twitter.com/arlacivita<br /> LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewlacivita<br /> Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alacivita<br /> iTunes free podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tips-for-work-life-andrew/id1120387046</p> <p>--------------------<br /> SUMMARY<br /> --------------------</p> <p><strong>Be encouraged!</strong></p> <p>For all you out there watching (listening or reading this), I want to offer some words of encouragement. I know you can do this! I've done it three times. If I could do it three times, you can do it.</p> <p>The great news is you have the ability. It's also never in the history of the world been easier to make a career change with all the resources we have now to help educate you and get you going in the right direction.</p> <p><strong>Have a plan…</strong></p> <p>The problem is most people don't have a plan, which I'm going to give you today—the first seven steps of that plan.</p> <p><strong>But first, a little perspective and motivation…</strong></p> <p>I want to just give you a moment of perspective and I want you to tuck this away in the back of your mind as you watch this video or any of my videos for that matter.</p> <p>If I wasn't brave enough thirteen or so years ago to make a career change and then again two years ago to make another change, you'd never be benefiting from this video or any video I've ever created, or any training course, or anything I've ever done to help facilitate your career and your life.</p> <p>I want you think about as you're hesitating to make that change. Think of all those people in this world who would benefit from you doing so.</p> <p>So whether you are an old pro (like I am) wanting to make a drastic career change, or whether you're a college student looking for that first job, or anybody who wants a job where they don't feel like they have the requisite experience, this video is for you. I'm going to give you the first seven steps I would take.</p> <p><strong>Let's roll…</strong></p> <p><strong>1. Make sure you want it and make a list.</strong></p> <p>It sounds silly, but there's a huge difference between a passing fancy and a burning desire. Most people fail not because of their ability, but because they don't have a good plan in place.</p> <p>They haven't thought it through about whether or not that career or that change is going to align to what makes them happy.</p> <p>So, the first step that I would take is I would list out all of my requirements I need in place to be happy. Make a list. It sounds simple, but very few people do it.</p> <p><strong>BONUS</strong>: I have a three-part video series you can watch. It's called <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxjGQaV8rAh0iCcNnSBg15YEWjH_PUJ3v" target="_blank">The First 5 Steps to Career Success: Get Your Career Focused, Organized, and On Track</a>. Watch this to make sure you make the right list.</p> <p><strong>2. What are you willing to sacrifice?</strong></p> <p>You have the ability to achieve your goals. You have the ability to make this career change or get that job. The reason a lot of people fail is not only because they don't have a plan, but also because they're unwilling to give up certain things in their life. You have to put in extra effort to compensate for the areas you're deficient. You need to "catch up."</p> <p>Think…nights, weekends, compensation, and so forth. You might have to take a little pay cut if you want to make a change. What are you willing to give up and not give up? Get clear on that and be committed to sacrificing those things that will prevent you from being successful in making this change.</p> <p><strong>3. Learn the capabilities and qualities.</strong></p> <p>You need to discover the capabilities important for success in that particular career or job. What do I mean by capabilities?</p> <p>Here's an example. When a sales person is sells a product or service, knowing exactly how to sell that particular product is a trade skill learned through experience selling that specific product.</p> <p>That skill is usually something easily taught or learned. But, great sales people transcend product and services. They have foundational abilities like good leadership skills, good organizational skills, and good communication skills.</p> <p>They're good listeners. They know how to connect the dots for their customers or prospects to show them how their products and services will benefit them. They're good at psychology.</p> <p>These are foundational abilities that can be developed that make a great sales person a great sales person.</p> <p>If you want to be a chef, then you need to figure out what capabilities make awesome chefs.</p> <p>There are many ways to do that, but there are two easy ways. You could literally Google "what qualities make a great chef." A whole bunch of blog posts will come up and a whole bunch of books will come up. Read. Learn. See if those are qualities you think you already have or can develop.</p> <p>The other thing is you can do a little research with individuals who are currently doing that role or have done that role. There are lots of ways to get this insight, but you want to make sure identify the capabilities.</p> <p>We're going to use these in a later step in the process. This is a huge deal.</p> <p><strong>4. Do your reconnaissance with people <em><u>currently</u></em> doing that career or job.</strong></p> <p>Talk to people currently doing that job—and I want to stress the word <strong>currently</strong>.</p> <p>Why do I make such a big deal about this? It's okay to talk to somebody who was a chef or a sales person. But, human nature is we tend to forget what it was like, what some of the struggles were, what it was like not to know what we know. Also, their techniques or their interactions with the world might be a little outdated.</p> <p>You want to talk to people who are currently going through it. It's fresh in their minds. They know what they're dealing with. It's front, it's center, and they can share it with you.</p> <p>You can start making a longer list of things you're going to have to evaluate and consider to know whether you're going to want to make this change.</p> <p>It might sound exciting when you're <em>thinking</em> about making that change, but if you don't have some realistic real-time data you're not going to be successful.</p> <p><strong>5. Build your Franken-Mentor.</strong></p> <p>It's never been easier to get help and get educated on a career you want. I call this one "building a Franken-Mentor."</p> <p>When I became a trainer a few years ago, I didn't know how to work a camera. I didn't really have a great (social) platform. I didn't know what it was like to build a membership site or a training course or a number of other things I had to learn. I have seven different people it takes to help me shoot this video! LOL.</p> <p>I had to learn from many different people, who were experts at what they do. I took an entire army to deliver this video to you!</p> <p>Google them. Find their books. Find their blogs. Follow those people.</p> <p>Figure out and align those capabilities with individuals who speak on this or write on that or talk on that and start to learn.</p> <p>Over time, you'll find some experts are a little bit more effective than others. Continue to follow them. That's how you'll really start educating yourself.</p> <p>Go build that Franken-Mentor!</p> <p><strong>6. Anticipate and plan for the struggles.</strong></p> <p>It's amazingly stupid to me people want you to envision success. (Yes. I just said that.)</p> <p>You hear a lot of people talk about, "Well, just imagine yourself successful." That's BUNK. (Yes. All capitals bunk.)</p> <p>You can't just imagine yourself into success!</p> <p>The better way to imagine yourself towards success is to envision the struggles you will encounter and anticipate them. Then, envision yourself working through them!</p> <p>Talking to the people currently in the job, researching the change you want to make, and then putting a plan together as to how you're going to overcome those challenges is what get's you through them and on to success.</p> <p>How will you react when you encounter that obstacle? I'll tell you how you'll react. You're gonna kill it because you were prepared for that encounter. When you hit it, you had already envisioned the struggle, anticipated it could surface, and were ready for it emotionally and with your plan!</p> <p>If you just envision yourself on the beach having cocktails, it isn't going to work.</p> <p>You probably have a dozen or so problems you have to overcome. All of us do. There's a bunch you'll prepare for through your research. There's some that will be unanticipated.</p> <p>But, everybody has three problems. You have a:</p> <ul> <li>Learning problem</li> <li>Marketing problem</li> <li>Job-interviewing problem (if you stay in the corporate world)</li> </ul> <p><strong>7. Execute your plan to overcome the struggles and advance toward success!</strong></p> <p>Now it's time to execute!</p> <p>The learning issue we discussed a bit. Build your Franken-Mentor, get the books, follow the blogs, do the research, do your reconnaissance, talk to the people, start getting educated, start becoming more and more familiar. This issue is pretty straightforward. It just takes a little elbow grease.</p> <p>Most people are concerned about the "marketing issue." People always want to know, "What do I put on my resume? What if I don't have the right experience?"</p> <p>If you did step number three (Capabilities and Qualities) and identified those foundational traits you will be in great shape.</p> <p>The best employers know the capabilities they need to evaluate in a potential employee and they are hiring for the long term. They will notice that match in your resume.</p> <p>Here's what to do. Take <em>whatever</em> experience you have…</p> <p>If you're a college student, it's your internships, part-time jobs, school projects, classes, and whatever else you have at your disposal.</p> <p>If you're professional, it's whatever work experience you have.</p> <p>Use your list of capabilities, go through your work history, and start identifying the projects, the efforts, and work you did that built skills, which align to those capabilities.</p> <p>Put that information into your career profile, your highlights, and bullets in the professional experience on your resume. See <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/" target="_blank">How to Build the Ultimate Professional Resume</a> for more on this.</p> <p>You also want to add this information in your cover letter and LinkedIn profile. Of course, prepare for some of the popular job interview questions in the same matter. That is, develop your responses using "stories" of developing those capabilities and how they match to the new job or career.</p> <p>You must focus on the capabilities. That's the biggest key to success to get over the marketing and job interviewing hurdles.</p> <p><strong>Like this episode?</strong> Please share it via social media and review it on <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tips-for-work-life-andrew/id1120387046?mt=2&ls=1" target="_blank">iTunes</a>!

<description><![CDATA[Confused about how to answer the dreaded "Tell me about yourself" question in a job interview? Join career expert and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses tell me about yourself: best way to respond! <p>This one goes out to all the people on my Tips for Work and Life Blog Subscription and my YouTube subscribers who've pelleted me with emails and comments asking to please shoot this video. This one's for you!</p> <p><strong>Why the "question" is terrible…</strong></p> <p>This question is terrible for a couple of reasons.</p> <p>The first reason is related to the employer. First off, it's lazy, it's ineffective and it doesn't guarantee the employer it will actually get the information they need to make a good determination about whether you're a good fit for the company.</p> <p>Great interviewers design well thought out questions that elicit specific information that allows them to make those determinations.</p> <p>The second terrible is it's even worse for you because it puts you in jeopardy of falling over one of the greatest tripwires in the job interview.</p> <p>The number one reason you do not get hired (see this video <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/the-number-1-reason-why-you-did-not-get-hired/"> Job Interview Tip: The Number 1 Reason Why You Do Not Get Hired</a>) is your inability to map your fit, value, qualifications, and skills to what the employer needs at the moment.</p> <p>Think about what's happening when you're in a job interview. You know you're fabulous. I know you're fabulous. The employer has even said you're fabulous by inviting you in for the interview. They think <em>you're qualified on paper</em>.</p> <p>They've also think the same thing about all the other qualified candidates who are interviewing for the job. But, only one or maybe a couple of you are going to get hired.</p> <p>He or she who best maps their skills and qualifications to what the employer needs is going to be the person they hire!</p> <p>Three techniques to nail this…</p> <p>How do you know what they need to make that determination?</p> <ol> <li><strong>Ask</strong></li> </ol> <p>The first technique is my favorite. When the interviewer asks, "Please tell me about yourself," just respond…</p> <p>"Hey, Mr. Lazy Interviewer Man, my background is lengthy and diverse. Is there any particular part of my background you'd like me to discuss so you can make a determination about whether I'm a good fit for your company?"</p> <p>Oh. I know there are a whole bunch of you out there saying, "Oh no, Andy I can't answer a question with a question! That's just bad form. I was told never to do that!"</p> <p>That's ridiculous. It's fine to answer a question with a question if you need <em>clarification</em>.</p> <p>They've likely asked you this question at the very beginning of the process or the very beginning of the interview. They dumped you into a wide-open field. It's okay for you to ask for some guidance. It only took you ten seconds to do that.</p> <p>Want to know what's worse than you answering a question with a question? That's you spending ten minutes talking about something that's fabulous about yourself that they don't care about or has nothing to do with helping them determine whether you're a good fit for what they need! Ouch.</p> <p>The more important thing we should focus on when you ask your questions is being able to anticipate the possible responses or outcomes. What could their replies be?</p> <p>The beautiful thing about your particular question is there are likely only two responses. When you ask, "Is there a particular part of my background," their response is going to be either yes there is or no there isn't.</p> <p>If they say, "Yes, there is a particular part of your background. Here it is…," you're golden. Just respond to what they cited. That's the best scenario.</p> <p>If they say, "No, there isn't any particular area…," here's your pro tip.</p> <p>Always bring a copy of the job description with you to the interview. If you ask that question and they say, "No, there's nothing in particular," then pick up the job description and say…</p> <p>"Okay, Mr. Lazy Interviewer Man, it looks like based on your job description you're looking for these skills and qualifications and the role has these responsibilities, so I'm going to share my background as it relates to the job description so you can get the insight to determine whether I'm a good fit for your company."</p> <ol start="2"> <li><strong>Use the pro tip I cited with the job description…</strong></li> </ol> <p>For those of you who simply refuse to ask the clarifying questions, go directly to the pro tip I just mentioned using the job description.</p> <ol start="3"> <li><strong>Don't want to ask for clarification and don't have a job description…</strong></li> </ol> <p>Sometimes you don't have a job description or it's so thin you don't have much to go on. No problem!</p> <p>Let's make the assumption if you are in a job interview you have some inkling of what the job entails and what background best suits it.</p> <p>When the interview says, "Please tell me about yourself," simply respond…</p> <p>"Okay, I'd love to tell you about myself. I assume the job entails [this and that] and these would be the skills you'd be interested in knowing I have so you can make a good determination about whether I'm a good fit for your company so I'll share my background as it relates to that."</p> <p>Now, you've given them your assumption about what the job entails and what you think are the important skills you need to have.</p> <p>If you are incorrect, there's not an interviewer out there who wouldn't stop you and say, "Actually, Mr. Smart Job Candidate, that's not entirely true. Let me clarify that for you. Here's what the job really entails and here are the skills we really need to assess."</p> <p>Now, you've got the information you need, you just got it a different way.</p> <p>If they don't interrupt you, take some comfort in knowing you're on the right track and off you go.</p> <p><strong>Want more help getting hired?</strong></p> <p><strong>FREE EBOOK DOWNLOAD: Ace Your Job Interview: Master the Best Answers to the 14 Most Effective Job Interview Questions</strong>.

Join career expert and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses executive job interview tips: 3 keys to getting a senior role! <p><strong>This puts you at zero…</strong></p> <p>What's happening when you're job interviewing? You exchange information. You need to have the right responses to the employer's questions. You need to ask good questions. You need the right background. You need to impress.</p> <p>When you're a junior- or mid-level resource, that's typically good enough to get hired. When you're at the senior level, it's not.</p> <p><strong>The 3 big keys…</strong></p> <ol> <li><strong>It's about their future, not your past.</strong></li> </ol> <p>You need to get the interviewers, the most senior interviewers, thinking into the future. If you can't get them to imagine what their life will be like and what their company will look like with you there, you'll never get hired.</p> <p>You can have a great background. You could have been there, done that. That's great. But, if you can't shift their mindset from thinking you're serviceable to thinking how you'll catapult them forward, you're not going to get hired.</p> <p>How?</p> <p>One of the easiest ways to shift their thinking is to shift the discussion from your background and your credentials to their goals. Boom.</p> <p>Where do they see the company going? What <em>exactly</em> do they want to accomplish?</p> <p>Once you know this, articulate <em>exactly</em> how you will take them there—step by step. Here's what I would do first. Here's what I would do second.</p> <ol start="2"> <li><strong>Leaders are inclusive and inspiring.</strong></li> </ol> <p>You need to be the high tide that lifts all the boats. Leaders build more leaders. They don't build more followers.</p> <p>You need to show them you're great at inspiring and inclusive. You're great at building teams.</p> <p>They're probably going to ask you how you'll build your team. That's fine. But, I'm talking about giving them that deep, great feeling that having you there will inspire everyone and you're a great person to work with.</p> <p>How?</p> <p>First, think about your job interviewing process. Most of these senior-level interviewing processes start with senior people up front (because they don't want to waste anybody's time).</p> <p>Then you have a middle part, which includes several other people. You'll interview with colleagues, internal customers, some staff, and so on.</p> <p>Toward the end, you'll revisit (or visit for the first time) with a number of the senior folks.</p> <p>Along the way, you'll be gathering a lot of information as you speak to lots of people.</p> <p>One of the easiest and most effective ways to show you're inclusive is to make several references to the other people and the insight they shared!</p> <p>For example, "Hey, Mary Jane said something about this... It really struck me. I love that idea. Mr. Executive Man, I'd love to get your perspective on that especially as it relates to [insert something else here which better be a more grand something else for a deeper level of insight]."</p> <p>If you can include a number of references to other people in the organization and the great conversations you've had with them, the senior interviewers will start to see you as part of the team (already). It's like you're already working there!</p> <p>This also reinforces key number one and gets them to look into the future regarding how you'll be to work <em>with</em>.</p> <ol start="3"> <li><strong>Stay away from one-and-done questions because then you'll be done.</strong></li> </ol> <p>You'll obviously be given a chance throughout the process to ask lots of questions. In addition to asking great questions, you need to avoid asking questions—however awesome they are—that lead to dead ends. If you ask dead end questions, you'll be a dead end.</p> <p>Specifically, I mean asking a great question, then receiving their response, and then moving on to the next question. That's the big mistake!</p> <p>The message you're sending to them is that you are a puddle skipper. You are not somebody who's digging deep to get information and collecting it all. You're not well researched. You're not digging deep enough to get the information you need to make a good decision. Ouch.</p> <p>Now, they're starting to imagine how you would be as a leader there. Working with the people in your group or other units and not digging deep enough.</p> <p>How?</p> <p>If you have follow-up questions and drill down in your line of questioning, you send the message you are well researched, thoughtful, and making sure you're getting all the information you need to make a good decision.</p> <p>It sends them the message when you're working with your staff, you will make sure you're getting all the information to make good decisions.</p> <p>That is something they'll want so when they give you the autonomy to run your unit or run your division they have confidence you'll be a great researcher, you'll get all the information, and make well-educated decisions.</p> <p>If you don't do this, they'll think you're someone who skims the surface and oftentimes makes great mistakes or bad choices because you didn't have all the information.</p> <p><strong>Want more help getting hired?</strong></p> <p><strong>FREE EBOOK DOWNLOAD: Ace Your Job Interview: Master the Best Answers to the 14 Most Effective Job Interview Questions</strong>.

<description><![CDATA[Struggling with what to ask the employer during a job interview? Not sure of the best way to get the information you need to make a great career decision and sell yourself in the process? Join career expert and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he shares his top 5 questions to ask in a job interview! <p><strong>I get it…</strong></p> <p>It's difficult. You don't job interview very often. You're not (likely) a trained interrogator. That's why you have me!</p> <p><strong>I'll give you 5 home runs…</strong></p> <p>In the video, I'm going to share my five home runs, what to ask, why it's a great question, and how to use the information. Let's roll…</p> <p><strong>A company-based one first…</strong></p> <ol> <li><strong>Based on the direction of the company, what do you think will be your greatest accomplishments in the next three years?</strong></li> </ol> <p>Organizations need to be able to think at least three to five years into the future. But, you don't want to join an organization that <strong>only</strong> thinks about the future. Thinking is nice, but companies that act and build things and have clarity around specifically what they're going to do are worthy of you. Join them.</p> <p>It's a great question because it helps you understand whether they have a vision and if they have clarity regarding specifically what they want to build.</p> <p>If they don't have that clarity, they're basically saying to you, "I don't know if you'll have a job in three years because I don't know where the company's going." Nice.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Struggling with what to ask the employer during a job interview? Not sure of the best way to get the information you need to make a great career decision and sell yourself in the process? Join career expert and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he shares his top 5 questions to ask in a job interview! <p>I get it…</p> <p>It's difficult. You don't job interview very often. You're not (likely) a trained interrogator. That's why you have me!</p> <p>I'll give you 5 home runs…</p> <p>In the video, I'm going to share my five home runs, what to ask, why it's a great question, and how to use the information. Let's roll…</p> <p>A company-based one first…</p> <ol> <li>Based on the direction of the company, what do you think will be your greatest accomplishments in the next three years?</li> </ol> <p>Organizations need to be able to think at least three to five years into the future. But, you don't want to join an organization that only thinks about the future. Thinking is nice, but companies that act and build things and have clarity around specifically what they're going to do are worthy of you. Join them.</p> <p>It's a great question because it helps you understand whether they have a vision and if they have clarity regarding specifically what they want to build.</p> <p>If they don't have that clarity, they're basically saying to you, "I don't know if you'll have a job in three years because I don't know where the company's going." Nice. Huh?</p> <p>Make sure to ask this question early in the process.</p> <p>Questions two, three, and four are about you and your role…</p> <ol start="2"> <li>What are the qualities of people who are most successful in this position?</li> </ol> <p>You're looking for the traits the employer wants. The reason it's a great question is you'll get the actual traits they're evaluating and you can use that insight immediately to highlight how you and your background and experience match those traits! Plus, it's a great setup question for the next one.</p> <ol start="3"> <li>If you were to give me an offer and I was to accept it, one year from now, what will I have done specifically that you would consider this hire to be a raging success?</li> </ol> <p>Now you're really accelerating!

<description><![CDATA[Not getting callbacks from the employers when you send out your resume? Join career expert and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses 8 great tips to prove your value on your resume! <p><strong>I could have titled this post 8 Great Tips to Prove Your Value to Your Employer</strong></p> <p>Before you non-job-seekers cut out me, this post very accurately could have been titled 8 Great Tips to Prove Your Value to Your Employer. So, stay tuned.</p> <p>Let's be honest. How many times do we need to remind our own employers of our awesomeness? I don't know about you, but I seem to need to remind my guy every day because he can't remember a thing.</p> <p><strong>What's the problem?</strong></p> <p>Think about the problem. You're sending out your resume and employers aren't calling you back. Ouch. [I've already explained why that is in <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/get-resume-noticed-5-seconds-guaranteed/" target="_blank">How to Get Your Resume Noticed in 5 Seconds Guaranteed</a>.]</p> <p>Although recruiters are a funky bunch and review those resumes quickly, they do notice an impact player when they see one. So, how do we get you to SHOW you're that impact player?</p> <p><strong>First, you need a great layout…</strong></p> <p>I've shot other videos on showing your fabulousness on your resume. (C'mon people. I can't show you everything in one 10-minute video!)</p> <p>It'll be extremely helpful if you check out these little beauties so you know the best layout and so forth. Of course, there are FREE Templates and other things that will make you love me forever:</p> <p><a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/" target="_blank">How to Build the Ultimate Professional Resume (Video, Instruction, and Template)</a></p> <p><a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/145d4b8b3f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5710855106723840/"> Immediately DOWNLOAD the FREE Ultimate Professional Resume Template here</a></p> <p><a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/one-trick-make-college-resume-stand-out/" target="_blank">This One Trick Will Make Your College Resume Stand Out (Video, Instruction, and Template)</a></p> <p><a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/123432753f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5680219105001472/"> Immediately DOWNLOAD the FREE Ultimate Collegiate Resume Template here</a></p> <p><strong>Second, I'll give you TWO FREE courses if you can stump me…</strong></p> <p>I'm really confident I can improve your resume if you follow this video and spend a few moments considering these tips. Want to know how confident?</p> <p>I will give you my <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/build-your-ultimate-professional-resume-workshop" target="_blank">Build Your Ultimate Professional Resume Course & Workshop</a> plus any additional online training course you find on the <a href="https://www.milewalkacademy.com/" target= "_blank">milewalk Academy</a> site—FOR FREE—if you can stump me. Details later.</p> <p><strong>C'mon buddy. Where are my 8 Tips?</strong></p> <p>Think about what employers care about. Who makes an impact in their organization? People who these things…</p> <ol> <li><strong>Generate revenue</strong>. Employers love people who generate revenue. Do you generate revenue, profits, and acquire new customers? (Check the video for more commentary on this. I won't say this again for everyone because I hate repeating myself. You get it.)</li> </ol> <ol start="2"> <li><strong>Improve market and brand awareness</strong>. Hey marketing-type folks! Are you creating a better-known brand? Measure it any way you can. Is your company getting more inquiries or email addresses? Is your website traffic increasing due to content marketing? Google Analytics anyone?</li> </ol> <ol start="3"> <li><strong>Customer attraction and leads</strong>. Inside sellers or anyone on the front end of sales can be opening doors. You might not be closing the deal for your company, but you're filling your sales pipeline. Any lead generation works. Managing a booth at an industry fair? Are you collecting business cards or starting a customer or partnership relationship?</li> </ol> <ol start="4"> <li><strong>Customer happiness.</strong> Service people can rejoice! Maybe you're a call center operator and helping people who call in because your product or service is broken. You fix it. Voila! What are your customer satisfaction scores? What is your customer retention rate? What about renewals and renewal rate?</li> </ol> <ol start="5"> <li><strong>Corporate growth and security</strong>. Let's not forget the executives. Have you done anything related to supporting an Initial Public Offering, acquisition, divestiture, etc. Is your corporate and online security safer?</li> </ol> <ol start="6"> <li><strong>Employee happiness</strong>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Not getting callbacks from the employers when you send out your resume? Join career expert and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses 8 great tips to prove your value on your resume! <p>I could have titled this post 8 Great Tips to Prove Your Value to Your Employer</p> <p>Before you non-job-seekers cut out me, this post very accurately could have been titled 8 Great Tips to Prove Your Value to Your Employer. So, stay tuned.</p> <p>Let's be honest. How many times do we need to remind our own employers of our awesomeness? I don't know about you, but I seem to need to remind my guy every day because he can't remember a thing.</p> <p>What's the problem?</p> <p>Think about the problem. You're sending out your resume and employers aren't calling you back. Ouch. [I've already explained why that is in <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/get-resume-noticed-5-seconds-guaranteed/" target="_blank">How to Get Your Resume Noticed in 5 Seconds Guaranteed</a>.]</p> <p>Although recruiters are a funky bunch and review those resumes quickly, they do notice an impact player when they see one. So, how do we get you to SHOW you're that impact player?</p> <p>First, you need a great layout…</p> <p>I've shot other videos on showing your fabulousness on your resume. (C'mon people. I can't show you everything in one 10-minute video!)</p> <p>It'll be extremely helpful if you check out these little beauties so you know the best layout and so forth. Of course, there are FREE Templates and other things that will make you love me forever:</p> <p><a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/" target="_blank">How to Build the Ultimate Professional Resume (Video, Instruction, and Template)</a></p> <p><a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/145d4b8b3f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5710855106723840/"> Immediately DOWNLOAD the FREE Ultimate Professional Resume Template here</a></p> <p><a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/one-trick-make-college-resume-stand-out/" target="_blank">This One Trick Will Make Your College Resume Stand Out (Video, Instruction, and Template)</a></p> <p><a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/123432753f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5680219105001472/"> Immediately DOWNLOAD the FREE Ultimate Collegiate Resume Template here</a></p> <p>Second, I'll give you TWO FREE courses if you can stump me…</p> <p>I'm really confident I can improve your resume if you follow this video and spend a few moments considering these tips. Want to know how confident?</p> <p>I will give you my <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/build-your-ultimate-professional-resume-workshop" target="_blank">Build Your Ultimate Professional Resume Course & Workshop</a> plus any additional online training course you find on the <a href="https://www.milewalkacademy.com/" target= "_blank">milewalk Academy</a> site—FOR FREE—if you can stump me. Details later.</p> <p>C'mon buddy. Where are my 8 Tips?</p> <p>Think about what employers care about. Who makes an impact in their organization? People who these things…</p> <ol> <li>Generate revenue. Employers love people who generate revenue. Do you generate revenue, profits, and acquire new customers? (Check the video for more commentary on this. I won't say this again for everyone because I hate repeating myself. You get it.)</li> </ol> <ol start="2"> <li>Improve market and brand awareness. Hey marketing-type folks! Are you creating a better-known brand? Measure it any way you can. Is your company getting more inquiries or email addresses? Is your website traffic increasing due to content marketing? Google Analytics anyone?</li> </ol> <ol start="3"> <li>Customer attraction and leads. Inside sellers or anyone on the front end of sales can be opening doors. You might not be closing the deal for your company, but you're filling your sales pipeline. Any lead generation works. Managing a booth at an industry fair? Are you collecting business cards or starting a customer or partnership relationship?</li> </ol> <ol start="4"> <li>Customer happiness. Service people can rejoice! Maybe you're a call center operator and helping people who call in because your product or service is broken. You fix it. Voila! What are your customer satisfaction scores? What is your customer retention rate? What about renewals and renewal rate?</li> </ol> <ol start="5"> <li>Corporate growth and security. Let's not forget the executives. Have you done anything related to supporting an Initial Public Offering, acquisition, divestiture, etc. Is your corporate and online security safer?</li> </ol> <ol start="6"> <li>Employee happiness. Human resources, recruiters, and all who manage employees can focus on happiness. What are those employee satisfaction scores? Are your employees staying? Is your attrition bad or is your tenure really, really great? Are your recruitment numbers good? Are they healthy? Are your people progressing through their careers and going through the ranks and staying with you because you offer such great opportunities?</li> </ol> <ol start="7"> <li>Cost reduction. Yeah baby!! Let's save some money! Did you do anything to save your company money? That could be anything. It could be optimizing a system that makes you run more efficiently. It could be reducing expenses. Processes you do faster save money.</li> </ol> <ol start="8"> <li>Process efficiency. Optimize anything lately? I mean <em>anything</em>?!?

Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses 3 easy ways to create something original! <p><strong>But, it's all been done before…NOT!</strong></p> <p>It's getting harder and harder to create something original because there is more and more stuff being distributed, searched for, and copied on the Internet.</p> <p>More people than ever are introducing their ideas to the world.

Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses how to spend your 5 minutes at a job fair! <p><strong>First, what not to do…</strong></p> <p>Before I dive into how I would spend my five minutes, let's cover what not to do. It's the biggest mistake people make when they go to job fairs.</p> <p>It's the same issue I covered in <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/the-number-1-reason-why-you-did-not-get-hired/"> The Number 1 Reason Why You Do Not Get Hired</a>. It's the same reason you don't get called back after a job fair.</p> <p>It's spending your time trying to get out everything there is to know about you, what you <em>think</em> are the highlights of your career (or studies), what you <em>think</em> are your best attributes, and what you <em>think</em> are your most desired skills.</p> <p>Big mistake.</p> <p>You spend too much time sharing and don't know whether that's what the employer needs to know!</p> <p>How do you know what the employer seeks?</p> <p><strong>Try this…</strong></p> <p>Waltz up to the booth (or person or whoever looks like someone who knows what they're doing), and say…</p> <p>"Hi.

<description><![CDATA[Are you struggling to prepare your questions to ask an employer in a job interview? Not sure what to ask or how to ask it? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses the most valuable question to ask in a job interview! <p>Before we get rolling, I want to express I understand many of you struggle with what questions to ask an employer as well as how to ask them.</p> <p>This part of the interview—when you get to ask your questions—offers a great chance to sell yourself. It's also the most important part of getting the information you need to make a great decision about whether the employer is a good for you.</p> <p><strong>Good vs. good for you!</strong></p> <p>There are a lot of questions you need to ask and several areas you need to investigate. Is the company a good company? Is it solid <em>in general</em>? Is it a good company <em>for you</em>?</p> <p>Even though the company is a good company doesn't mean it's a good company for you! There are a lot of questions that go along with trying to figure this out.</p> <p><strong>All good things come in 3's</strong></p> <p>When you ask your questions, you should keep these three goals in mind. Every question should be designed to:</p> <ol> <li>Sell yourself</li> <li>Get the information you need</li> <li>Get the information as quickly as possible</li> </ol> <p>The faster you get the information the more time you have to get more information. The more information you have the more informed the decision. The more informed the decision, the better the decision. (Whew! That's a lot of mores!)</p> <p><strong>A question is never just a question</strong></p> <p>There is a whole lot that goes into asking your questions, how to organize them, when to use the information and so on. I have an entire free webcast that covers these called <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/webcast-3-keys-to-ace-any-job-interview-registration" target="_blank">3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview</a>. See below for details. Go ahead and sign up. I dare ya.</p> <p><strong>You can protect yourself with your questions</strong></p> <p>One other aspect I'd like to add regarding why I think this is such a valuable question is it helps you overcome one of the biggest reasons you don't get hired.</p> <p>A month or so ago, I shot a video and made a blog post titled <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/the-number-1-reason-why-you-did-not-get-hired/" target="_blank">The Number 1 Reason Why You Do Not Get Hired</a>. The number one reason you don't get hired is not because you lack qualifications. Chances are very good if you're interviewing you're qualified.</p> <p>It's the job candidates' inability to map how their qualifications align to what the employer needs. Keep that in mind because there is a great chance you can made that misstep in the interview.</p> <p><strong>What is the question already?</strong></p> <p>The reason I think this question is a valuable one is because it helps you sell yourself, gets you great information quickly, AND helps you overcome that great obstacle in getting hired.</p> <p>So, here it is…</p> <p>"If you were to give me a job offer and I was to accept it, after one year on the job, what would you consider a success? What would success look like to you? Specifically, what will I have accomplished you would consider to be a success?"</p> <p><strong>Why is this an uber cool question?</strong></p> <p>This question gives you clarity regarding what the interviewer <em>thinks</em> success looks like.</p> <p>Now, you can use that insight to reply how you would accomplish that or how your skills or capabilities align to accomplish that success!</p> <p>You're speaking to exactly how you would to work toward that success and it's what the interview wants and needs to know. Ultimately, interviewers need to answer, "Will this job candidate be successful in the role?"</p> <p><strong>Wait! There's more!</strong></p> <p>Here's what else it does. If you ask that question to <em>every single interviewer</em> you might get a slightly different answer. At least now you know what that interviewer thinks success is.</p> <p>Maybe you're interviewing with various people within the organization and they each have different goals or requirements. Now you can align your answers to how it affects <em>that person</em> and his or her interests. (Let's not worry just yet whether or not all their answers are consistent. That's something you can sort out later. The most important thing while you're in that particular interview is to get that interviewer to like you.)</p> <p>The reason this question is so powerful is because it surfaces for you what each interviewer thinks success looks like. They make their decisions on what they think, not necessarily reality. This helps you overcome the disparity and makes sure they all want hire you—for whatever their reasons might be. :)</p> <p><strong>Free Live Job Interviewing Webcast</strong>: I'm offering a <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/webcast-3-keys-to-ace-any-job-interview-registration" target="_blank">FREE LIVE WEBCAST titled <strong><em>3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview</em></strong></a>.

They're an orderly set of tips and habits you can implement. The greatest part about these habits is they require no skills and very little time to put in place.</p> <p><strong>What happens between the time you wake up and the end of the year?</strong></p> <p>I want to bring you back about a year and a half ago. I wrote a blog post about <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/my-2-morning-tricks-to-eating-the-frog/" target="_blank">my two morning tricks to eating the frog</a>. That was about how you get your morning going. You can get off to a great start regardless of your morning routine. It's all about your mindset.</p> <p>Toward the end of last year, I did a video and a post about <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/how-to-reflect-your-way-to-success/" target="_blank">how to reflect your way to success</a>. It was really designed help you look back at the end of each year, reflect on what you learned and what you accomplished. But, the special part about this process is—no matter you did during the year—you will feel great about yourself and all you have accomplished. Yes. It's that bulletproof a technique. Check it out. (<a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/annual-career-reflection-guide-for-success-by-andrew-lacivita" target="_blank">There's even a great planner download</a>.)</p> <p>What happens in between your mornings and when you wake up toward the end of the year? You live each day!</p> <p>How do you ensure you can look back at the end of each year and say, "Wow, what a great year (or great day or great week or great month)?" That's what today's session is all about!</p> <p><strong>The 7 Habits…</strong></p> <p>Here are seven simple habits to make every day productive.</p> <p>The first two, in fact, start the night before.</p> <p><strong>1. Identify three goals you want to accomplish the next day?</strong></p> <p>Think in advance about what you want to accomplish. The most important aspect when identifying these goals is to make sure there's an element of <u>completeness</u>.</p> <p>You don't want your goals to be goals such as "make progress on my project." It's too loose. Focus more on what you need to complete in step one of the project. If step one is too big to complete in one day, then identify the portion of step one.</p> <p>Whatever it is, just make sure there is some <u>conclusion</u> you can draw and that there is an element of completeness to it.</p> <p>Also, don't have too many goals. If you have too many goals, you'll be chasing too many rabbits and won't catch any. You get the gist.</p> <p><strong>2. Schedule your <u>entire</u> calendar for the next day (the night before).</strong></p> <p>Schedule your day. I stress the word <strong><em>your</em></strong> day.</p> <p>You will be far less likely to get interrupted by other people's issues or other people's requests if you've made your plan.</p> <p>Never ever—I repeat never—check your morning email before your day is scheduled.</p> <p>If you do that, you're likely going to run amok and other people's issues will interrupt your intentions. You won't be able to work on the key projects or goals you identified.</p> <p>Also, I recommend scheduling every single minute of your day. If you don't know what you're doing between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, schedule "open time" or "buffer time" or "recovery time."</p> <p>That will give you a chance to catch up or handle unexpected issues that arise during the day.</p> <p><strong>3. Identify three things you're grateful for as early in the morning as possible.</strong></p> <p>However you start your day, whatever morning routine is, be grateful. Be deliberately grateful.</p> <p>I get up. Take care of my dogs. Go to the gym to exercise. I come home and meditate. I eat. That's my routine.</p> <p>Whether you just get up and take a shower or stretch and have a cup of coffee or dance or whatever, spend a moment to be grateful. It takes a mere minute to write down three things for which you are grateful.</p> <p>It is physiologically impossible to be stressed and grateful at the same time. You're giving yourself a chance to be stress-free even if it's for mere seconds.</p> <p>Put yourself in the right mindset.</p> <p>There is another aspect to gratitude. You can be assured gratitude is a wonderful place where there is a force greater than you and greater than I that is always available to you in a positive way.</p> <p>You will feel better and better things will happen to you and for you. It's just a wonderful way to start your day.</p> <p><strong>4. Identify what you accomplished during the day.</strong></p> <p>After you work your day, write down what you actually achieved related to those three big goals.</p> <p>Note how that positions you for tomorrow. This will help you plan tomorrow.</p> <p><strong>5. Consider your lessons of the day.</strong></p> <p>Write down a couple or three lessons you actually learned for that day.</p> <p>It's really, really important to take a few minutes to think about what transpired over the course of the day and what you actually learned.</p> <p>What did you learn about yourself or your projects or the people you work or what to do or not to do?</p> <p>If you don't identify these lessons, you're not going to feel accomplished and you'll make the same mistakes.</p> <p><strong>6. Celebrate your victories.</strong></p> <p>Write down your three wins for the day.</p> <p>Give yourself a little brag zone. It's okay to say, "Wahoo, I accomplished goals one, two, and three!" or "I sold my first project!" or "Our marketing project is complete!"</p> <p>It could be anything you feel great about accomplishing that day. Just make sure your celebrate something.</p> <p><strong>7</strong>. <strong>Identify three things you're grateful for as late in the day as possible.</strong></p> <p>Repeat habit three. As late in the day as possible, and I stress as late in the day as reasonably possible, identify three more things you're grateful for. Preferably, these will be three items from that day (but they don't have to be).</p> <p>Later in the day is best because if these are your last thoughts of the day you'll have a better night's sleep. You'll go to sleep, wake up a lot more refreshed, and go into your next day in a much better frame of mind.</p> <p><strong>MORE GOODIES!</strong></p> <p>Grab my FREE download of the <a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/1433d9dc3f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5761512987688960/" data-leadbox= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/1433d9dc3f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5761512987688960/" data-leadbox-id="1433d9dc3f72a2:17fd80be1346dc">Guide to Leading Fulfilled Days: 7 Simple Habits to Make Every Day Productive</a> and you'll have a handy checklist of what to record, reflect on, and plan your day!</p> <p><strong>Like this episode?</strong> Please share it via social media and review it on <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tips-for-work-life-andrew/id1120387046?mt=2&ls=1" target="_blank">iTunes</a>!

If step one is too big to complete in one day, then identify the portion of step one.</p> <p>Whatever it is, just make sure there is some conclusion you can draw and that there is an element of completeness to it.</p> <p>Also, don't have too many goals. If you have too many goals, you'll be chasing too many rabbits and won't catch any. You get the gist.</p> <p>2. Schedule your entire calendar for the next day (the night before).</p> <p>Schedule your day. I stress the word <em>your</em> day.</p> <p>You will be far less likely to get interrupted by other people's issues or other people's requests if you've made your plan.</p> <p>Never ever—I repeat never—check your morning email before your day is scheduled.</p> <p>If you do that, you're likely going to run amok and other people's issues will interrupt your intentions. You won't be able to work on the key projects or goals you identified.</p> <p>Also, I recommend scheduling every single minute of your day. If you don't know what you're doing between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, schedule "open time" or "buffer time" or "recovery time."</p> <p>That will give you a chance to catch up or handle unexpected issues that arise during the day.</p> <p>3. Identify three things you're grateful for as early in the morning as possible.</p> <p>However you start your day, whatever morning routine is, be grateful. Be deliberately grateful.</p> <p>I get up. Take care of my dogs. Go to the gym to exercise. I come home and meditate. I eat. That's my routine.</p> <p>Whether you just get up and take a shower or stretch and have a cup of coffee or dance or whatever, spend a moment to be grateful. It takes a mere minute to write down three things for which you are grateful.</p> <p>It is physiologically impossible to be stressed and grateful at the same time. You're giving yourself a chance to be stress-free even if it's for mere seconds.</p> <p>Put yourself in the right mindset.</p> <p>There is another aspect to gratitude. You can be assured gratitude is a wonderful place where there is a force greater than you and greater than I that is always available to you in a positive way.</p> <p>You will feel better and better things will happen to you and for you. It's just a wonderful way to start your day.</p> <p>4. Identify what you accomplished during the day.</p> <p>After you work your day, write down what you actually achieved related to those three big goals.</p> <p>Note how that positions you for tomorrow. This will help you plan tomorrow.</p> <p>5. Consider your lessons of the day.</p> <p>Write down a couple or three lessons you actually learned for that day.</p> <p>It's really, really important to take a few minutes to think about what transpired over the course of the day and what you actually learned.</p> <p>What did you learn about yourself or your projects or the people you work or what to do or not to do?</p> <p>If you don't identify these lessons, you're not going to feel accomplished and you'll make the same mistakes.</p> <p>6. Celebrate your victories.</p> <p>Write down your three wins for the day.</p> <p>Give yourself a little brag zone. It's okay to say, "Wahoo, I accomplished goals one, two, and three!" or "I sold my first project!" or "Our marketing project is complete!"</p> <p>It could be anything you feel great about accomplishing that day. Just make sure your celebrate something.</p> <p>7. Identify three things you're grateful for as late in the day as possible.</p> <p>Repeat habit three. As late in the day as possible, and I stress as late in the day as reasonably possible, identify three more things you're grateful for. Preferably, these will be three items from that day (but they don't have to be).</p> <p>Later in the day is best because if these are your last thoughts of the day you'll have a better night's sleep. You'll go to sleep, wake up a lot more refreshed, and go into your next day in a much better frame of mind.</p> <p>MORE GOODIES!</p> <p>Grab my FREE download of the <a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/1433d9dc3f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5761512987688960/" data-leadbox= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/1433d9dc3f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5761512987688960/" data-leadbox-id="1433d9dc3f72a2:17fd80be1346dc">Guide to Leading Fulfilled Days: 7 Simple Habits to Make Every Day Productive</a> and you'll have a handy checklist of what to record, reflect on, and plan your day!</p> <p>Like this episode?

<description><![CDATA[Have you wondered why your resume doesn't get noticed? Are you curious regarding how a recruiter "examines" your resume? Interested in the job resume killers? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses how to get your resume noticed in 5 seconds guaranteed! <p><strong>How can you review 500,000 resumes? Honestly?</strong></p> <p>I've reviewed more than a half million resumes during my career. I bet you're wondering how this is possible.</p> <p>Combine decades of interviewing and hiring at a high velocity, coupled with a whopping no-thank-you to a great recession (where I reviewed an average of 1,500-2000 resumes per week for four years), and strong relationships with prominent outplacement companies who send me resumes by the thousands when they handle a large reduction in workforce for one of their clients, and, hey presto, there it is.</p> <p><strong>How long? 6 Seconds!?</strong></p> <p>Recruiters worth their salt can glance through your entire resume within six seconds, which means you've got five seconds to interrupt their mind-numbing, eye-glazing, white-noise-like key-stroking through an electronic pile that will make you start talking slowly no matter how much caffeine you've had.</p> <p>Don't believe me? I'm sharing my personal experience (more on this in a minute), but a number of job sites such as <a href= "https://cdn.theladders.net/static/images/basicSite/pdfs/TheLadders-EyeTracking-StudyC2.pdf"> The Ladders (check out their eye-tracking story on how recruiters review resumes</a>) indicate their survey says employers review your resume in six seconds. Ouch.</p> <p>Why? Everyone's busy and they have too many resumes to review.</p> <p><strong>How do you review the resume?</strong></p> <p>Click. Open. Big Thunderbolt Mac Screen!</p> <p><strong>Eye-Glance 1:</strong> Name please! My eyes go right for the top center. I want to see your name. Just your name. I don't need 18 other credentials and letters (unless you're a medical doctor, lawyer, or whatever). An address is nice too. I want to know your geography.</p> <p><strong>Eye-Glance 2:</strong> Then I look at the entire top half of the first of page of your resume—all at once. I'm looking for something specific (more later). I do not start reading the top half of the page. I'm filing away whether I want to come back to it later. If it has what I want, I'll come back. If it doesn't have what I want, I never go back to it.</p> <p><strong>Eye-Glance 3:</strong> Then I scramble down the left column of the first page. I'm looking for the companies you worked for. I'm much more interested in which companies you worked for than the positions you held. I want people who've played for Super Bowl-winning teams.</p> <p><strong>Eye-Glance 4:</strong> Then I look at the entire second page all at once. Yes. The entire page. If you have a third page, I'm upset because you didn't respect my time.</p> <p>Side note: If I can sum up my entire 28-year career in 26 words, you can summarize a 50-year career in two pages. If you think you can't, you are mistaken.'</p> <p>This entire eye-glancing escapade takes me no longer than six seconds.</p> <p><strong>How do you decide to keep reviewing the resume?</strong></p> <p>Now, I need to decide whether to delete the resume or whether to review it. I stress the word <strong>review</strong> because anyone who has time to read your entire resume has too much time on his or her hands.</p> <p>Want to know what I'm looking for?</p> <p><strong>What's the 5-second magic pill!</strong></p> <p>Why did you open this post? It was one of two reasons.</p> <p>You either know and love me and thought <em>omigawd, Andy has another amazing post and I just have to watch (listen or read)</em>. Otherwise, you had no clue who I was, but saw the headline telling you some dude promises you resume glory in five seconds.</p> <p>I'm guessing the latter. Regardless of your reason, you need to interrupt the recruiter's mind-numbing review process by giving her something she'll love—right away. It'll be your analogous "headline."</p> <p>She wants to know you'll bring value to her organization.</p> <p>The easiest way to do this is by encapsulating who you are professionally—in aggregate—and also highlighting your (likely three most) valuable contributions.</p> <p>I suggest doing this in a <strong>Career Profile</strong> section at the very top followed immediately by a <strong>Career Highlights</strong> section immediately underneath.</p> <p>I've already given you the exact formula and language in <a href="http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/"> How to Build the Ultimate Professional Resume</a>. I've also given you the templates whether you need a professional or collegiate resume.</p> <p><a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/145d4b8b3f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5710855106723840/"> Get your ultimate professional resume template with instruction here.</a></p> <p><a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/123432753f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5680219105001472/"> Get your ultimate collegiate resume template with instruction here.</a></p> <p><strong>The absolute DO NOTS as in NEVER EVER!</strong></p> <p>Don't waste your most prime real estate at the top of your resume with…</p> <p><em>An objective statement</em>. Yuck. Double yuck. You are advertising what your objective, needs, or wants are. The employer wants to know what you can contribute. Tell them what <strong>you offer</strong> not what you want.</p> <p><em>A bunch of skills</em>: Ugh. Please, whatever you do, don't <em>list skills</em> in a table or any other format that tells the employer you are a leader, project manager, hard-working, detail-oriented, energetic, so on and so forth and so boring. This takes up space sharing generic skills, which are technically your opinion of yourself. The employer wants facts. Give them facts. Caveat: you can identify skills in your career profile sparingly and according to the instruction I provided in <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/"> How to Build the Ultimate Professional Resume.</a></p> <p><em>An education section</em>: Education is nice and should be toward the bottom of your resume if you've been working professionally for more than 24 hours. That's right. You're a pro now. Drop it down. Caveat: You are in a CV-type world where the studies, doctorates, and so forth are key. Caveat Part Deux: You're a college student.</p> <p><strong>Coming soon!</strong> I'll be running a webinar completely dedicated to writing the perfect resume. If you're on my <a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/1477a2733f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5751864561762304/"> Tips for Work and Life</a>® blog subscription, you'll be notified!</p> <p><strong>FREE Live Job Interviewing Webcast</strong>: I'm offering a <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/webcast-3-keys-to-ace-any-job-interview-registration">FREE LIVE WEBCAST titled <strong><em>3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview</em></strong></a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Have you wondered why your resume doesn't get noticed? Are you curious regarding how a recruiter "examines" your resume? Interested in the job resume killers? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses how to get your resume noticed in 5 seconds guaranteed! <p>How can you review 500,000 resumes? Honestly?</p> <p>I've reviewed more than a half million resumes during my career. I bet you're wondering how this is possible.</p> <p>Combine decades of interviewing and hiring at a high velocity, coupled with a whopping no-thank-you to a great recession (where I reviewed an average of 1,500-2000 resumes per week for four years), and strong relationships with prominent outplacement companies who send me resumes by the thousands when they handle a large reduction in workforce for one of their clients, and, hey presto, there it is.</p> <p>How long? 6 Seconds!?</p> <p>Recruiters worth their salt can glance through your entire resume within six seconds, which means you've got five seconds to interrupt their mind-numbing, eye-glazing, white-noise-like key-stroking through an electronic pile that will make you start talking slowly no matter how much caffeine you've had.</p> <p>Don't believe me? I'm sharing my personal experience (more on this in a minute), but a number of job sites such as <a href= "https://cdn.theladders.net/static/images/basicSite/pdfs/TheLadders-EyeTracking-StudyC2.pdf"> The Ladders (check out their eye-tracking story on how recruiters review resumes</a>) indicate their survey says employers review your resume in six seconds. Ouch.</p> <p>Why? Everyone's busy and they have too many resumes to review.</p> <p>How do you review the resume?</p> <p>Click. Open. Big Thunderbolt Mac Screen!</p> <p>Eye-Glance 1: Name please! My eyes go right for the top center. I want to see your name. Just your name. I don't need 18 other credentials and letters (unless you're a medical doctor, lawyer, or whatever). An address is nice too. I want to know your geography.</p> <p>Eye-Glance 2: Then I look at the entire top half of the first of page of your resume—all at once. I'm looking for something specific (more later). I do not start reading the top half of the page. I'm filing away whether I want to come back to it later. If it has what I want, I'll come back. If it doesn't have what I want, I never go back to it.</p> <p>Eye-Glance 3: Then I scramble down the left column of the first page. I'm looking for the companies you worked for. I'm much more interested in which companies you worked for than the positions you held. I want people who've played for Super Bowl-winning teams.</p> <p>Eye-Glance 4: Then I look at the entire second page all at once. Yes. The entire page. If you have a third page, I'm upset because you didn't respect my time.</p> <p>Side note: If I can sum up my entire 28-year career in 26 words, you can summarize a 50-year career in two pages. If you think you can't, you are mistaken.'</p> <p>This entire eye-glancing escapade takes me no longer than six seconds.</p> <p>How do you decide to keep reviewing the resume?</p> <p>Now, I need to decide whether to delete the resume or whether to review it. I stress the word review because anyone who has time to read your entire resume has too much time on his or her hands.</p> <p>Want to know what I'm looking for?</p> <p>What's the 5-second magic pill!</p> <p>Why did you open this post? It was one of two reasons.</p> <p>You either know and love me and thought <em>omigawd, Andy has another amazing post and I just have to watch (listen or read)</em>. Otherwise, you had no clue who I was, but saw the headline telling you some dude promises you resume glory in five seconds.</p> <p>I'm guessing the latter. Regardless of your reason, you need to interrupt the recruiter's mind-numbing review process by giving her something she'll love—right away. It'll be your analogous "headline."</p> <p>She wants to know you'll bring value to her organization.</p> <p>The easiest way to do this is by encapsulating who you are professionally—in aggregate—and also highlighting your (likely three most) valuable contributions.</p> <p>I suggest doing this in a Career Profile section at the very top followed immediately by a Career Highlights section immediately underneath.</p> <p>I've already given you the exact formula and language in <a href="http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/"> How to Build the Ultimate Professional Resume</a>. I've also given you the templates whether you need a professional or collegiate resume.</p> <p><a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/145d4b8b3f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5710855106723840/"> Get your ultimate professional resume template with instruction here.</a></p> <p><a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/123432753f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5680219105001472/"> Get your ultimate collegiate resume template with instruction here.</a></p> <p>The absolute DO NOTS as in NEVER EVER!</p> <p>Don't waste your most prime real estate at the top of your resume with…</p> <p><em>An objective statement</em>. Yuck. Double yuck. You are advertising what your objective, needs, or wants are. The employer wants to know what you can contribute. Tell them what you offer not what you want.</p> <p><em>A bunch of skills</em>: Ugh. Please, whatever you do, don't <em>list skills</em> in a table or any other format that tells the employer you are a leader, project manager, hard-working, detail-oriented, energetic, so on and so forth and so boring. This takes up space sharing generic skills, which are technically your opinion of yourself. The employer wants facts. Give them facts. Caveat: you can identify skills in your career profile sparingly and according to the instruction I provided in <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/"> How to Build the Ultimate Professional Resume.</a></p> <p><em>An education section</em>: Education is nice and should be toward the bottom of your resume if you've been working professionally for more than 24 hours. That's right. You're a pro now. Drop it down. Caveat: You are in a CV-type world where the studies, doctorates, and so forth are key. Caveat Part Deux: You're a college student.</p> <p>Coming soon! I'll be running a webinar completely dedicated to writing the perfect resume. If you're on my <a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/1477a2733f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5751864561762304/"> Tips for Work and Life</a>® blog subscription, you'll be notified!</p> <p>FREE Live Job Interviewing Webcast: I'm offering a <a href= "https://www.milewalkacademy.com/p/webcast-3-keys-to-ace-any-job-interview-registration">FREE LIVE WEBCAST titled <em>3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview</em></a>.

Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses the number 1 reason you did not get hired! <p><strong>Mistake Alert</strong></p> <p>Most people think they get hired because of their qualifications. In doing so, they expend so much energy in the interview focusing on their experience <em>before</em> they know which parts of their experience and qualifications the employer is most interested in. At this point, you must be thinking <em>whaaaaaa</em>?</p> <p><strong>The Obvious</strong></p> <p>You are in a job interview of some kind.

You get the job for three reasons, none of which are your qualifications.</p> <p><strong>Why Do You Get the Job?</strong></p> <p>Based on my observation from thousands of interviews between my clients (the hiring companies) and job candidates (prospective employees), I've concluded a candidate's attainment of the job is largely contingent on three often-undetectable success factors:</p> <ul> <li>The candidate's ability to effectively articulate his or her qualifications and potential contributions (encoding)</li> <li>The interviewer's ability to accurately interpret the candidate's qualifications (decoding)</li> <li>The interviewer's capacity to remember the candidate (memory)</li> </ul> <p>It all comes down to your ability to communicate how your qualifications match what the employer needs.</p> <p><strong>The Unfortunate Reality</strong></p> <p>The reality is you have a greater chance of failing the interview because of a misrepresentation or misinterpretation than you do a lack of qualification.</p> <p><strong>The 3-Step Fix</strong> </p> <ol> <li>Keep the three reasons why you get hired in mind. Awareness and consciousness (of these issues) is key to success. Of course, general consciousness is too. J</li> </ol> <ol start="2"> <li>When asked an interview question, don't rush to share your awesomeness unless you know which part of your awesomeness the interviewer and employer needs to know. (That is, it doesn't matter if you're fantastic. You need to connect the dots for the employer how your fabulousness matches what it needs!) Sometimes the job interviewer's question is specific and he or she identifies clearly what's needed. Other times, the interviewer is vague. Make sure to look before you leap.</li> </ol> <ol start="3"> <li>Ask a clarifying question (if need be) to zone in on exactly what information the interviewer needs to know to determine whether you are a great fit. This is especially helpful in the wake of the dreaded and horribly ineffective, "Please tell me about yourself," question. (See Bonus Section for more.)</li> </ol> <p><strong>Bonus Section</strong> </p> <p>For junior and mid-level folks who often face the dreaded, "Please tell me about yourself," question, your immediate response to ensure clarification should be: </p> <p>I'd love to tell you about myself.

Imagine those silly gatekeepers and HR specialists sifting through your one-page-advertisement sheet as they swipe by so they can rifle through the other 299 applicants and call it a day. Ain't gonna happen.</p> <p>Well, you're in luck because I have a technique that only a rare few use—boss hunting.</p> <p>Actually, this technique will benefit anyone in these situations:</p> <ol> <li>You're stuck in your job search.</li> <li>You simply want to add another tool to your job-search arsenal.</li> <li>You want to expand your professional network and need an opener to meet someone.</li> <li>You want some cool cover letter templates.</li> </ol> <p>First, make sure you know which career, companies, roles, and so forth you truly want. I have a fantastic, free workshop called Transform Your Career: Mastering the 3 Personal Drives That Lead to Career Fulfillment coming up on October 27<sup>th</sup>. It will help you get on the right track.</p> <p>Second, I'm assuming you're also targeting companies and searching the job boards per <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/how-target-best-companies-your-job-search/" target="_blank">How To Target the Best Companies in Your Job Search</a>.

If you know the company or see an open role, you should be able to LinkedIn or Google your way to finding her or him or them.</p> <p>It doesn't need to be the exact boss overseeing the area. Any authority figure or the head honcho should do for your purposes.</p> <p>You might also stumble across an attractive person (career-wise people!) via your research. That's just as good. It doesn't matter whether his or her company is hiring or has an open role. This is about people contacting!</p> <p>Send that person an email with your resume. Don't know what to say? No sweat.

Don't lie.)</p> <p>Most companies don't communicate well even if they only have twenty employees. The HR specialist might not have gotten to yours. Either way, there's nothing wrong with getting a little extra love or referral from within the organization.</p> <p>Think about it. What's better? A personal email to someone telling him or her you are a not-so-secret admirer or clumsily plopping your information into a robotic, cold-hearted ATS?</p> <p>Bonus Section:</p> <p>Want to know why it works?

I wrote it for you. Grab the download The Boss-Hunting Cover Letter. It's heart-melting. I promise.</p> <p>DOWNLOAD THE BOSS-HUNTING COVER LETTERS HERE:</p> <p> https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/143aacf93f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5659414535077888/</p> <p>Don't forget about my <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/4-sentence-cover-letter-gets-job-interview/" target="_blank">four-sentence cover letter too</a>!</p> <p>Do not be concerned if you've already sent your resume into the ATS abyss. (<a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/best-way-unlock-applicant-tracking-systems-get-noticed/" target="_blank">Here's how to bypass the ATS</a>. You knew I'd have something on that subject. Don't lie.)</p> <p>Most companies don't communicate well even if they only have twenty employees. The HR specialist might not have gotten to yours. Either way, there's nothing wrong with getting a little extra love or referral from within the organization.</p> <p>Think about it. What's better? A personal email to someone telling him or her you are a not-so-secret admirer or clumsily plopping your information into a robotic, cold-hearted ATS?</p> <p>Bonus Section:</p> <p>Want to know why it works?

You're gaining much too.</p> <p><strong>You fear hardship.</strong></p> <p>Boo hoo this new job will be hard. You're not sure you're up for the challenge.

<description><![CDATA[Interested in reaching unbelievable heights in your career and life? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses the 9 fastest ways to be awesome at your craft! <p>For the most complete post, summary, scripts, and quote cards, see here:</p> <p> http://milewalk.com/mwblog/9-fastest-ways-awesome-at-your-craft</p> <p>For those who want to be truly awesome at what "they do," I'm going to give you my formula for accelerating your career or your life or whatever you want to catapult. Here are the 9 fastest ways to be awesome at your craft based on what I've seen works!</p> <p>Below are the highlights from the podcast. For a more complete explanation of each area, listen here. It's also available on any major podcast platform.</p> <p>First, I'm going to assume you actually want to practice your craft. It sounds silly, but most people who reach out to me are miserable, stuck, or a host of other undesirable feelings.</p> <p>Let's assume you chose your path correctly. If you haven't, check out the <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/first-thing-want-change-careers-podcast/" target="_blank">First Thing To Do When You Want To Change Careers</a> before proceeding.</p> <p>Let's roll…</p> <p><strong>Adjust your attitude</strong>. Optimism is something you manufacture from your attitude. Inspiration is something someone else manufactures from your optimism. Your ability to think without limits will help you create those incredible achievements. It's also what will inspire the others around. See <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/unlock-true-potential-3-keys-podcast/" target="_blank">Unlock Your True Potential With These Three Keys</a>.</p> <p><strong>Identify the most important <em>capabilities</em></strong>. If you simply practice the "how to" do something, you won't be able to reach the truly elevated heights. Everyone has purchased the "How To Manual." You need to know what makes the greatest the greatest. Example: Don't just learn how to sell. Learn psychology. Learn storytelling. Know the sequence people need to hear things so they can understand how your product or service with help them. Be sincere.</p> <p><strong>Build a Franken-Mentor</strong>. I don't think any <strong><em>one</em></strong> person, as a mentor, will help you reach phenomenal heights. Build yourself a collection of people—live or online—who can help you build your <strong><em>capabilities</em></strong>. I study four people (<a href="http://brendon.com/blog/" target="_blank">Burchard</a>, <a href="http://jeffwalker.com/" target="_blank">Walker</a>, <a href="https://michaelhyatt.com/welcome/" target= "_blank">Hyatt</a>, <a href="http://www.stu.me/" target= "_blank">McLaren</a>). They help me with high performance, product launching, personal platform building, and membership site management respectively. None of these people do anything related to career management or hiring (my areas of expertise). They support the <em>capabilities</em> I need to learn and master.</p> <p><strong>Train like heck.</strong> See the four gents I mentioned above? I've spent nearly 500 hours over the past two years studying their material. That's purchasing their training material, watching and studying it, reviewing their blogs, and so forth. If you use the 2,000 work hours per year rule of thumb (for the average 9-to-5-er), that's an additional 12.5% training I added to ensure I know what I'm doing.</p> <p><strong>Practice</strong>. Perfectly. You will make permanent what you practice. Make sure you know what makes something perfect before you make it permanent. There are two ways to go wrong here. First, you can practice poorly. Second, you can practice the wrong things.</p> <p><strong>Choose (or find) the best people to be around</strong>. You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Choose wisely. I'm speaking about actual live people who you see and exchange ideas and banter.</p> <p><strong>Spend lots of time with Google and YouTube</strong>. There is absolutely no excuse why you can't learn something you want to know. I had no idea how to set up a podcast. I had no idea how to use a DSLR camera before I needed to use one.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Interested in reaching unbelievable heights in your career and life? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses the 9 fastest ways to be awesome at your craft! <p>For the most complete post, summary, scripts, and quote cards, see here:</p> <p> http://milewalk.com/mwblog/9-fastest-ways-awesome-at-your-craft</p> <p>For those who want to be truly awesome at what "they do," I'm going to give you my formula for accelerating your career or your life or whatever you want to catapult. Here are the 9 fastest ways to be awesome at your craft based on what I've seen works!</p> <p>Below are the highlights from the podcast. For a more complete explanation of each area, listen here. It's also available on any major podcast platform.</p> <p>First, I'm going to assume you actually want to practice your craft. It sounds silly, but most people who reach out to me are miserable, stuck, or a host of other undesirable feelings.</p> <p>Let's assume you chose your path correctly. If you haven't, check out the <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/first-thing-want-change-careers-podcast/" target="_blank">First Thing To Do When You Want To Change Careers</a> before proceeding.</p> <p>Let's roll…</p> <p>Adjust your attitude. Optimism is something you manufacture from your attitude. Inspiration is something someone else manufactures from your optimism. Your ability to think without limits will help you create those incredible achievements. It's also what will inspire the others around. See <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/unlock-true-potential-3-keys-podcast/" target="_blank">Unlock Your True Potential With These Three Keys</a>.</p> <p>Identify the most important <em>capabilities</em>. If you simply practice the "how to" do something, you won't be able to reach the truly elevated heights. Everyone has purchased the "How To Manual." You need to know what makes the greatest the greatest. Example: Don't just learn how to sell. Learn psychology. Learn storytelling. Know the sequence people need to hear things so they can understand how your product or service with help them. Be sincere.</p> <p>Build a Franken-Mentor. I don't think any <em>one</em> person, as a mentor, will help you reach phenomenal heights. Build yourself a collection of people—live or online—who can help you build your <em>capabilities</em>. I study four people (<a href="http://brendon.com/blog/" target="_blank">Burchard</a>, <a href="http://jeffwalker.com/" target="_blank">Walker</a>, <a href="https://michaelhyatt.com/welcome/" target= "_blank">Hyatt</a>, <a href="http://www.stu.me/" target= "_blank">McLaren</a>). They help me with high performance, product launching, personal platform building, and membership site management respectively. None of these people do anything related to career management or hiring (my areas of expertise). They support the <em>capabilities</em> I need to learn and master.</p> <p>Train like heck. See the four gents I mentioned above? I've spent nearly 500 hours over the past two years studying their material. That's purchasing their training material, watching and studying it, reviewing their blogs, and so forth. If you use the 2,000 work hours per year rule of thumb (for the average 9-to-5-er), that's an additional 12.5% training I added to ensure I know what I'm doing.</p> <p>Practice. Perfectly. You will make permanent what you practice. Make sure you know what makes something perfect before you make it permanent. There are two ways to go wrong here. First, you can practice poorly.

<description><![CDATA[Do you feel like you're driving through your life or career with the emergency brake on ? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses how to visualize your way to success! <p>Get full post, summary, audio, quote cards, and more at:</p> <p><a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/how-visualize-way-success">http://milewalk.com/mwblog/how-visualize-way-success</a></p> <p><strong>SUMMARY</strong></p> <p>Have you ever felt like you were driving through your life or your career with the emergency brake on? It feels as if no matter how hard you work at something, you're simply not progressing as quickly as you'd like?</p> <p>Today, I want to talk about a daily exercise I've practiced religiously—visualization. And, provide some insight into how to visualize your way to success. Five minutes of this every day will improve your life dramatically.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>When did that gray hair and eye wrinkle show up?</em></p> <p>I never notice my face change from day to day. Only when I look at pictures from a few years back can I see the transformation.</p> <p>Much of your life is like this. Your career is like this. Your marriage can be like this.</p> <p>While most people prefer to slow the aging process, many want to accelerate their lives and careers. Much like the unnoticeable change with age, your progress from day to day becomes imperceptible.</p> <p>Oftentimes, you'll feel better about your advancements if you take time to look back at where you were one, three, and five years ago. That'll help your psyche a bit.</p> <p>I'm sure many of you are like me. You feel where you've been is history. You care more about getting where you're going—and you want to get there is a hurry!</p> <p><strong>First Step</strong>: Before you look forward, take a deep breath and spend a few moments realizing (yes—realizing) how far you've come and all you've accomplished. In fact, spend a few minutes every day doing this.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>What's the best way to get from where I am to where I want to go?</em></p> <p>There are few key <em>principles</em> to understand to help you quickly get from where you are to where you want to go:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Identify</strong> where you want to go.</li> <li>Make sure you're working toward something you <strong>love</strong>.</li> <li><strong>Believe</strong> you can accomplish it.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Identify</strong>. The first is you'll get where you're going faster if you know where you want to go. It also helps to know where you are. Don't laugh. Most people are in a much better starting position than they realize.</p> <p><strong>Love</strong>. The second is <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/todays-line-live-march-8-2016/" target= "_blank">you'll make greater leaps in life by doing small things you love than doing big things you don't</a>. You need to enjoy yourself each day because your passion and optimism will fuel getting things done. Most importantly, <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/todays-line-live-may-5-2016/" target= "_blank">don't let what you can do stop you from doing what you were meant to do</a>!</p> <p><strong>Believe</strong>. The third is you need to believe you can get there and be unafraid to jump in! At least once a day, I think about this fantastic quote from American Naturalist and Essayist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Burroughs" target="_blank">John Burroughs</a>. He said, "Leap, and the net will appear." (If you're really ambitious, check out <a href= "http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Seeing-Things-Burroughs/dp/0815606788" target="_blank">The Art of Seeing Things: Essays by John Burroughs</a> and <a href= "http://www.amazon.com/Youll-See-When-You-Believe/dp/0099474298" target="_blank">You'll See it When You Believe it by Wayne Dyer</a>.) You believe it. Then it happens. It's never the other way around.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Where's the 5-minute thing you promised me? I'm in a hurry…</em></p> <p>Okay antsy pants. Visualize yourself at your end-state even though you don't know how to get there.</p> <p>Imagine yourself at your "destination." What's it like? How does it feel? How does it sound? What will the end-state allow you to do?</p> <p>Imagine this for five minutes. It's okay to dream, but you're more likely creating a reality.</p> <p>"Five minutes" means you can do this in the shower, on the train, or wherever. It's best to do it in a quiet location.</p> <p>This visual of you in all your glory will have pull power—it'll feel like it's pulling you toward it. In actuality, you'll be pushing yourself toward it one step at a time.</p> <p>There are really only two steps required for the greatest level of success: the next step and the extra step. You simply need to know what you need to do next to move toward your destination. Putting a little extra effort along the way will separate you from the masses who are unwilling to do that.</p> <ol> <li>Picture the end-state, what it's like, how it feels, how is sounds, and what it will enable you to do.</li> <li>You need to do this repetitively as you work toward this transition and evolution. That will help you do this one-day at a time.</li> <li>Then take what you've identified as the next step. And take it. One step at a time.</li> </ol> <p>One fantastic resource to help you visualize your future is <a href="http://livingforwardbook.com/" target="_blank"><em>Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want</em></a>.

<description><![CDATA[Wondering how to get your college resume noticed? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses This One Trick That Will Make Your College Resume Stand Out! <p>I've seen over a half-million resumes during my career and have a great trick for college students and recent graduates to ensure their resumes stand out. Below are This One Trick Will Make Your College Resume Stand Out video and podcast highlights!</p> <p><strong>PRELUDE</strong>: If you didn't see <a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/" target="_blank">How To Build The Ultimate Professional Resume</a>, check it out for many more details, which overlap with collegiate resumes.</p> <p> http://milewalk.com/mwblog/build-ultimate-professional-resume-andrew-lacivita/</p> <p>This trick helps overcome the most common resume mistake: placing a worthless objective statement at the top of the resume.</p> <p><strong>DOWNLOAD: </strong>Download <a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/123432753f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5680219105001472/" target="_blank">Your Ultimate Collegiate Resume Template</a> with instructions so you can follow along!</p> <p> https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/123432753f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5680219105001472/</p> <p>Remember, your resume has one goal: To entice a prospective employer to speak with you. This requires you to show what you offer, not ask for what you want.</p> <p>Even starting with your education doesn't buy you much because employers care about so much more than your schooling.</p> <p><strong>The Trick</strong>: At the top of your resume, include a Profile of you. This is a quick snapshot of you as a person and soon-to-be full-time professional. Your goal is to provide a one-paragraph, high-level overview of you as a student and part-time worker. This helps employers develop of picture in their minds regarding who you are and what's forthcoming in your resume. You want to entice them. Keep in mind; this is your "sales copy" of you to get them interested!</p> <p><strong>Example</strong>: State University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and Psychology minor. Held various summer jobs and internships focusing on sales support activities. Served on several university and fraternal committees. Built additional sales-related capabilities via school fundraising activities and other volunteering efforts.</p> <p>You want to include reference to these four items:</p> <ol> <li>School</li> <li>Major/Degree</li> <li>Work Experience Generalize</li> <li>Extracurriculars</li> </ol> <p>The benefits:</p> <ul> <li>Appears more professional than collegiate to the employer.</li> <li>Demonstrates maturity, which is currently one of the biggest complaints by employers regarding college graduates' lack of readiness for the workforce.</li> <li>Builds excitement for the employer as they start to review your resume.</li> <li>Provides an element of uniqueness because very few do this.</li> </ul> <p>See the video, podcast, or transcript for more details.</p> <p>Check the <a href="http://milewalk.com/mwblog/" target= "_blank">Tips for Work and Life Blog</a><sup>®</sup> for additional articles on resume writing.

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever had these challenges when thanking an employer? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses how to write a thank you that gets you hired. <p><strong>There are typically four challenges:</strong></p> <p>1) How to thank the employer</p> <p>2) When to thank the employer</p> <p>3) What to say in the thank-you</p> <p>4) What medium to use (handwritten, email).</p> <p><strong>There are two most important aspects of the thanking process.</strong></p> <p>There are two keys you need to know about thanking somebody to make it effective: <strong>speed</strong> and <strong>thoughtfulness</strong>.</p> <p>Speed is how quickly you respond to them after your interview. I recommend 24 hours.</p> <p>Thoughtfulness is the level of effort and care you put into the words you place into the thank-you. What messages are you're sending?</p> <p><strong>You realize three benefits when you thank the employer.</strong></p> <p>There are three benefits of writing a thank-you.</p> <p><strong>1) You Get To Thank Them</strong>: Whenever you're preparing your thank-you note, you should open with thank you so much for your time and I really enjoyed meeting you.</p> <p><strong>2) You Get To Sell Yourself:</strong> Right after you thank them, add your own unique identifier. Put in your sales pitch. Reinforce why you're the best candidate for the job and why you're such a great fit.</p> <p><strong>3) You Get To Reassure the Employer You're Interested:</strong> The third benefit is to reassure the employer of your enthusiasm and interest in the position.</p> <p>For a complete summary, detailed transcript, fun quote cards, and more related to this podcast episode, visit:</p> <p><a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/write-thank-you-that-gets-you-hired">http://milewalk.com/mwblog/write-thank-you-that-gets-you-hired</a></p> <p>To download the FREE Winning Thank You Template with instructions, click here:</p> <p><a href= "https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/140def953f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5660007156678656/"> https://milewalk.leadpages.co/leadbox/140def953f72a2%3A17fd80be1346dc/5660007156678656/</a></p> <p>If you enjoyed this episode, please comment and share!</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Andy</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered how to unlock your true potential? Most people focus on igniting the wrong things. What if you knew how enhance the three keys—that already exist within you—to reach the level of happiness and success you want? Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses how to unlock your true potential! <p>Here they are:</p> <p><strong>1. Share yourself.</strong> Sharing your own story connects you to the rest of the world. Sharing what you learned and how you were transformed benefits others even if they might do it differently.</p> <p><strong>2. Be yourself.</strong> This is what keeps you connected to you. There is no greater struggle than when what you think, say, and do are not in complete harmony. Think about those times you felt out of sync or not yourself. What was missing? Likely, it was that congruence.</p> <p><strong>3. Give yourself.</strong> This is what connects you to higher powers. It also, oddly, provides the greatest return. This starts with contributing your efforts fully to what you're going to do and give to the rest of this world. This is giving everything you have to your calling.</p> <p>Giving yourself—which yields the highest results—requires four components/characteristic:</p> <p><strong>- Strategy:</strong> You have a strategy for where you're going in life. You seek an understanding of why the world works the way it does in this area. You question everything. You take nothing at face value.</p> <p><strong>- Mindset:</strong> You maintain a particular mindset. You understand limitations are something of the mind, not the universe.</p> <p><strong>- Practice:</strong> Once you have your strategy and no-limits mindset in place, you practice to perfection. By practice, I don't mean brute force. Brute force or mindlessly working hard will never overcome intellectual laziness. You practice with an extreme sense of deliberation. You practice your craft well past the point of being able to do it perfectly. You practice it to the point you couldn't possibly make a mistake because you are so dialed in.</p> <p><strong>- Discomfort:</strong> You seem to live in a continual state of discomfort. Of course, I'm not talking about living in pain, but continually pushing yourself so that every day you're a bit uncomfortable because you're constantly trying new activities and undertaking new projects that progress you. You embrace this discomfort because you know it will make you a great pioneer.</p> <p>For a complete summary, detailed "transcript," fun quote cards and more related to this podcast episode, visit:</p> <p><a href= "http://milewalk.com/mwblog/unlock-true-potential-3-keys-podcast/">http://milewalk.com/mwblog/unlock-true-potential-3-keys-podcast/</a></p> <p>If you enjoyed this episode, please comment and share!</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Andy</p>]]></description>
