How to hit the ground running!
“It’s all very well everybody telling me that 97% of what people worry about never happens. The problem comes when something I DO worry about DOES happen!”
Thus spake a new client recently. “For instance I was really worried about redundancy - and then it happened! That was three months ago and I’ve been floundering around ever since trying to find out how best to get back into the market.”
John’s problem - let’s call him John - was that even though he feared redundancy he had never done anything to prepare in advance for the eventuality. These are the things he had not done:
1) Kept a note of his annual appraisal results.
2) Kept a note of all the positive reviews he’d received.
3) Kept a note of his major achievements.
4) Kept a note of who had offered him career advice before.
5) Kept his LinkedIn profile up to date.
6) Kept his future career objective top of mind.
7) Kept his personal network alive.
8) Kept his CV current and up to date.
Had he done even half of these he could have hit the ground running when it DID happen! A usable self marketing strategy would have been in place without even worrying about it.
