Getting a Job in 2011
May 24th, 2011 by Carlos
I read a lot of articles about the employment situation in this country, and most of the time it’s obvious crap that most of us can ignore. Things like:
- Network!
- “Hit the pavement”
- Don’t be late to interviews
That’s not helpful.
But the other day I stumbled into an article on CNN called How to find a job in 2011. And there’s a quote in the article that is the core of my whole philosophy of work:
If you can’t add value, they’re not going to hire you.
BOOM! That is on the money. Whether you’re looking for a new job or now, adding value should be at the forefront of everything you do.
Most people think that their previous experience or an impressive resume is what will get them the job. This isn’t 1992 people…this is 2011 and you can’t cling to these old-school concepts of work anymore.
These days, value rules.
And that’s one of the core topics of my Ninja Employee Newsletter: how to add value at work regardless of the type of job you have.
