After only a short while working with Ken, I came to understand what was common among all of the very different jobs that I had enjoyed, and what
was missing from those that I found stiffening. It was the big picture!
When I realized that I need a job that requires me to work with the
broad ranging ideas and implications, and that I would be stifled by a
job that had a narrow focus, I got my confidence and drive back, and
found my direction. My time with Ken was very productive.
Mike, Training Manager
Thanks very much for your help in these past months. Your support kept me from losing sight of my goal. I am particularly grateful for your step-by-step plan of attack and your perspective on informational interviewing. Your help in those last stages of the negotiation was incredibly valuable. Your walking me through all the elements of the conversation really helped me organize my thoughts and gave me the effortless confidence I needed. (With your encouragement, I even asked for three weeks vacation to start... and I got it!)
Jane, Editor
(After the Playing To Your Strengths workshop) I decided to practice what I had learned from Ken. I streamlined my resume to list only the skills required by the position I was applying for. I listed four past positions under work experience describing my responsibilities to four former employers. My work history listed was directly applicable to the position I applied for. My cover letter included a fifth anecdote relevant to the work skillset in the job description.
I faxed off my resume with its cover letter on Thursday, the next morning. Thursday afternoon my phone rang. Human Resources had reviewed my information and wanted me to speak to the position's hiring manager. The manager's first question was "When can you come in to talk to me?" Friday morning, I interviewed for the position, and then was invited to meet the entire laboratory group for lunch. When I returned from lunch to thank the hiring manager for the opportunity to interview, he immediately extended his hand to say: "You're hired. You start Monday morning at 8 AM."
Ann, Scientist
and from a career consulting colleagueI just wanted to pass along many of the good things I heard about the evening from the workshop participants. First of all, I thought you did a terrific job. You explained the process well, you were engaging, active and personable and, considering you weren't feeling well, a tremendous feat! People told me they found the mission statement as you presented it a most useful and centering process, helped shift their thinking about themselves and clarified where to devote their energies. I want to thank you too for
having lifted my thinking and I want to wish you well in this and the
related work you are doing. It was fascinating to see how you've been
weaving your work life--you're a good model.
