Achievement Gap |
|
Are you losing out on jobs you believe you could do and should get?
The jobs above reflect a small number of the challenging and rewarding jobs available in the market today. Many hundreds of people will apply and all but one will fail.
Why? Your experience tells you that you have the skills to do the jobs but you do not consistently win an interview or gain the job offer. Why is this?
Is this because of: >>>>
- Poor presentation of your skills
- Unsure of your level of expertise and overall career direction
- Unclear on what they are looking for and if you match
- Poor contacts, someone had an inside track, favouritism
- Don’t know how to successfully approach the market
- CV or interview skills falling short
- Bad luck!
Have you ever thought, when told about the person appointed >> I’m a better match and more experienced than them? >>Don't forget there has to be a reason why they were appointed and you must play a big part in why you didn’t get it. Given the importance of our careers and the time and effort we put into applying for jobs, surprisingly few people analyse why and even fewer take steps to enhance their chance for the next time and continue to underachieve in career terms.
Why don’t we take these steps? >>
- It takes effort,
- We might have to learn new approaches, perhaps learn some truths
- Professional assistance costs money
- We don’t have sufficient belief in ourselves.
