Heard at Career Transition Workshop-The 12 Week Program, 1/4/10

Session 1 Accepting the Ax-How to Get by the Why. Or the emotions of demotion

  • My past is behind me and my future is ahead of me
  • Accept the deflection in my direction
  • Reflect/renew/refocus for 2010
  • Work the CTW program, the program works
  • The only thing we learn often from history is that we don't learn anything.
  • Begin with end in mind-Stephen R. Covey
  • The most qualified candidate rarely gets the job, it's the best package and promoted.
  • Hiring authorities usually hire the least risky/costly/controversial candidates
  • If you don't know where you are going any destination will do.
  • If you want the rainbow you have to put up with the rain-Dolly Parton 220px-Dolly_Parton_in_Nashville_cropped.jpg
  • Who are you and what are you doing here?
  • The way in which you endure that which you must endure is more important than the crises itself-President Truman
  • The reveling of feeling is the beginning of healing
  • Fear is like a rocking chair, act like you're busy, doesn't go anywhere
  • F*E*A*R* by Zig Ziglar. False Expectations Appearing Real
  • Cultivate an attitude of gratitude
  • Failure is not falling down, but staying down
  • More mature candidates should consider less mature companies-less mature candidates should consider mature companies
  • LOS=f(LOS). Length of search = function of length search
  • When it's dark enough you can see the stars-Ralph Waldo Emerson 200px-Ralph_Waldo_Emerson_ca1857.jpg
Our homework before the next session will be to:
  • Estimate my length of search
  • Figure my family finances for LOS period
  • Share above with family
  • Write letters for my Rites of Reconciliation
  • Write journal/blog of my job search efforts
  • Answer question what would give me job satisfaction
Next session of CTW is Monday, 1/11/10. Session 2 Career Choices & Consequences: How to Find Your Future Focus
