Seven Lessons from a Long-Ago Layoff

Seven Lessons from a Long-Ago LayoffLessons from a Long-Ago LayoffSeven Lessons from a Long-Ago LayoffSix years ago this month, I was laid off from a job a great one with a great company that I had held for six years.Why remember something bad? Because of the good that came out of it in the months that followed. During trying times, you may wonder about the security of your job and how you can survive without it. Maybe my experience can help you if you have been laid off or may be facing a layoff.The summer of 2002 was certainly a time of higher than normal anxiety. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 were fresh in our minds and the economy, already bruised before 9/11, became battered in the months afterward. My employer, a technical publication with a staff of about 200, had already conducted two rounds of layoffs. As the company continued to struggle and cut back on expenses, I suspected my number might come up in the next round.So, I held off on major purchases, shortened the family vacation from a week to a long weekend, drafted a resume, and thought about things I could do if I found myself facing unemployment.One idea I liked Become a substitute teacher. I had always been intrigued by the thought of influencing young minds (I had already been doing a bit of that as a youth soccer coach). I figured that, along with freelance writing and editing, would help tide us over until I landed the next full-time opportunity.The ax fell in late July. I was one of 10 let go in my department.I spent the next six weeks fine-tuning my resume, establishing a job search strategy, networking, and spending more time with my two kids before they went back to school.I applied as a substitute teacher in two school systems. I enjoyed the assignments, had fun with the kids, and reveled in helping them with their schoolwork. It was even a little fun to diss the kids who believe its their duty to give the sub a hard time just so they can raise their social stature with their classmat es.That experience inspired me to connect with a college test-prep company, and I began teaching teenagers how to beat the SAT, which I continue to do today, with great joy. It has given me a second career, helped me hone my organizational and public speaking skills, and allowed me the privilege of teaching some great kids.Being laid off is a bummer for most people, but my layoff taught me at least seven important lessons1.Always have your resume updated and ready, even if youre happy in your work. You never know how quickly things could turn2.Watch for signs that you might lose your job (previous rounds of layoffs, hiring or wage freezes, etc.), and if you see the writing on the wall, start planning NOW3.Heed the advice you always hear about saving the equivalent of three to six months of expenses in the bank in case you need it for some unforeseen event. (Yes, a layoff qualifies as an unforeseen event)4.Examine your personal budget and target where you can start cutting expenses5. Dont be afraid to try something outside your career comfort zone as you identify some secondary income-producing or skill-enhancing opportunities6.If you do get laid off, dont forget to file for unemployment compensation and7.Most importantly, never lose confidence in yourself.Finding a new job could take a while. For me, it took seven months. But it wasnt the disaster it could have been. By honestly assessing the situation beforehand and taking steps to prepare ahead of time, you can cushion the blow effectively when and if your time comes.

8 Stages of a Successful Job Hunt

8 Stages of a Successful Job Hunt8 Stages of a Successful Job HuntNo matter what your occupation or level of experience is, the process of getting a new job has several common elements. Once you understand the progression as a whole, you are less likely to make mistakes along the way. Here are the stages youll most likely pass through on your way to your next position1. Figuring out your value. The obvious but often overlooked truth is that people get hired for only one reason They represent the best possible answer to an employers need to have X work done. Somehow that X contributes to increasing sales or productivity or decreasing risk and expenses. As a job hunter, it is your responsibility to understand and convey how it is that you can contribute to the advancement of any employers mission. What about your skills, education and experience will enable you to make a significant contribution to your next employer?2. Determining your target. It is important to figure out the right font of company or organization that will generally need someone like you. Its also critical to understand in what kind of environment you will feel comfortable and productive. What industry? What organization size? What type of products or services? What kind of role? To learn about organizations in your area, you can do a great deal of research on LinkedIn. Specialized databases like Hoovers, accessible through most public libraries, can be invaluable. Support this research with informational interviews with key leaders in your field.3. Crafting your brand and message. For whatever role you seek, you will likely face strong competition from many candidates who possess similar backgrounds as yours. Rather than ramble on about the responsibilities that you share with others, focus on the qualities, experience and expertise that set you apart from the pack. Your personal branding statement should be at the top of yourrsumand LinkedIn profile. In essence, it is the answer to the first question at every interview Tell me about yourself and what sets you apart from your competition. You should develop a consistent message, which is presented differently in the forms of yourrsum, LinkedIn profile and professional bio.4. Prospecting. Now that you know your value and what you want, its time to departure actively prospecting for jobs. There are numerous ways to go about this by scouting posted positions on company Web pages, job boards, LinkedIn, Indeed and so on. But remember About 80 percent of new hires come about from personal networking. Get out there and attend professional events like symposia, conferences, conventions and trade shows. Network with fellow college alumni, people in your community and at Meetup groups. In short Network anywhere, everywhere and all the time5. Determining the rough fit in a phone interview. In most situations, an employer will sift through manyrsumsto do a rough cut of people who appear on the surface tomeet and exceed the min imum job requirements. Typically, an internal recruiter or human resources representative will make a call, say some flattering things and set up a phone inspektion interview. Dont mistake statements like you appear to have what we are looking for as anything more than a general indication of interest. You dont have the job yetThis is the time to show youre really the person yourrsumrepresents. Be prepared to discuss every career and educational transition, the basics of what you do andwhat would be required of you. This isnt the time for final decisions or discussions of compensation.6. Dealing with red flags. Part of the screening process is to take a look at anything that might be disqualifying for an otherwise potentially strong candidate. Things like employment gaps, too many or too few career transitions and a host of other factors might cause concern. Take time to figure out what your obvious red flags are, and be prepared to help your interviewer lower them, so you can proce ed to making your case at the real interview.7. Making your case. This, of course, is what happens at any face-to-face job interview. Come prepared for whatever can be thrown at you. Know yourrsuminside and out, and be ableto expand on anything you have written in it. Articles and books about interviewing for a job are more than plentiful. Read them and prepare, but dont over-prepare so much that your answers come off as rehearsed. When it comes down to it, you cant fake sincerity and should never misrepresent what youve done. Rehearsed lines may also minimize the positive reaction you should have when demonstrating genuine interest in the company, role to be filled and how you would be able to make a significant contribution.8. Negotiating the deal. You will always be in a stronger position to negotiate for a higher level of compensation if you wait until all your competition has been eliminated. Then you dont have to worry about low-balling them or selling yourself too short. At the same time, remember that you want to start out on a good foot, with neither you nor the employer feeling dragged over the coals in a protracted or contentious negotiation. Talk about objective criteria rather than vague wants, and give a solid justification for whatever requests you make. Whole books are available for each of these stages of the job hunt. However, when you remember these basics and use them as a frame of reference for your own search strategy, youll have a sense of what you need to do to get to where you want to go.

Top Ways to Destroy Trust With Your Employees

Top Ways to Destroy Trust With Your EmployeesTop Ways to Destroy Trust With Your EmployeesTrust is the foundation of all positive relationships you seek to create in your organization. Trust is one of the strongest bonds that can exist between people and customers trust is also one of the most fragile aspects of relationships. You can spend years building trust between your employees, your managers, and your senior leaders only to have it slip away when, usually, actions by your senior team, violate the existing environment of trust in the eyes of your employees. For example, in a small manufacturing company, the senior team failed to keep employees informed about the financial troubles the company was experiencing. So, when the layoff of 21 employees was announced as well as the elimination of the quality department, employees were shocked. This shock translated into a serious lack of trust. The remaining employees waited for the next shoe to drop, mourned the loss of their coworker s, and many started to job search quietly. Several years passed before the senior team was able to re-engage their employees and they schwefellost several important staff members during that time. Once you destroy trust, break the bond of trust, trust is the most difficult facet of your culture to rebuild. You can build a culture of trust in your organization if you steer clear of actions that destroy trust. Avoid ansicht trustbusters to build a trust culture. What Is Trust? In an earlier article, the three components of trust as defined by Dr. Duane C. Tway, Jr. were reviewed. He says that trust is the state of readiness for unguarded interaction with someone or something. Thinking about trust as made up of the interaction and existence of these three components makes the concept of trust easier to understand. The amount of trust you experience is dependent upon the degree to which you can respond affirmatively to experiencing each of these three components of trust The capacit y for trusting means that your total life experiences have developed your current capacity and willingness to risk trusting others. You believe in trust. You have experienced trust and believe that trust is possible.The perception of competence is made up of your perception of your ability and the ability of others with whom you work to perform competently at whatever is needed in your current situation.The perception of vorhabens, as defined by Tway, is your perception that the actions, words, direction, mission, or decisions are motivated by mutually-serving rather than self-serving motives. Trust is dependent on the interaction of and your experience of these three components. Trust is tough to maintain and easy to destroy. 5 Ways to Destroy Trust For trust to exist in an organization, a certain amount of transparency must pervade the intentions, direction, actions, communication, feedback, and problem solving of particularly, senior leaders and managers, but also of all emp loyees. Consequently, these are ways in which people destroy trust. 1. Employees tell lies of commission They fail to tell the truth, often with the intention to deceive or confuse people. This has a powerful impact on a whole organization when the lie is perceived to comefrom leaders, but even coworker relationships are destroyed by lies of commission. A lie is a lie is a lie. If its not the whole truth, if it requires preparation and wordsmithing, if you need to remember the details to ensure that you dont change your story in the retelling, you are probably telling a lie. Or, at the very least, part of your story is a lie. People who are untrustworthy derail their careers. Can you imagine the impact of lies in an organization when the liar is a senior manager? 2. Employees tell lies by omission A lie of omission is a deliberate attempt to deceive another person by omitting portions of the truth. Lies of omission are particularly egregious as they give people false impressions and attempt to influence behavior by omitting important details. Once again, the more powerful the perpetrator of the lie in the organization, the more significantly trust is affected. But, an individual can derail their career by using this deception ploy, when caught. 3. Fail to walk the talk No matter the work program, cultural expectation, management style, or change initiative, you will destroy trust if you fail to demonstrate the quality or behavioral expectation if you fail to walk the talk. Words are easy it is the behavior that demonstrates your expectations in action that helps employees trust you. You cant, for example, state that participative management and employee empowerment are the desired form of leadership in your organization unless you demonstrate these expectations in your everyday actions. Customer service is a joke if a complaining customer is labeled wrong or a jerk. 4. Fail to do what you say you are going to do Few employees expect that every statement, goal and/or projection that you make will come true. ausverkauf will be up 10 percent. No layoffs are anticipated. We will hire ten new employees this quarter. They are all predictions, but when you set an actual expectation with an employee, you need to come through as promised. For example, working the reception desk alone is a temporary fix until we fill the open position with a second receptionist. Your solo assignment will be complete by the end of the first quarter. If you make a statement, commitment, or projection, employees expect what you said to happen. You destroy trust if the end result never occurs. You can avoid destroying trust by communicating honestly and frequently about how you set the initial goal,what is interfering with the accomplishment of the initial goal,how and why your projection has changed,what employees can expect going forward, andhow you will avoid similar miscalls in the future. Honest communication is key to building employee and coworker trust. 5. Mak e random, haphazard, unexpected changes for no apparent reason Keeping employees off balance may sound like an effective approach to creating agility in your organization. But, random change produces the opposite effect. People get used to their comfortable way of doing things. They get used to the mood the boss characteristically exhibits when she arrives at the office. They expect no consequences when deadlines are missed- because there have never been any in the past. Any change must be communicated with the rationale behind the change made clear. A starting date for implementation and participation from employees whose jobs are affected by the change will keep you from destroying trust. A sincere and thoughtful demonstration that the change is well-thought-out and not arbitrary will help employees trust you. An explanation for a change of mood or a different approach goes a long way to prevent the destruction of trust. More About How to Destroy Trust These are five of the to p issues that destroy trust between employees and in organizations. If you can avoid these five trustbusters, you will have gone a long way toward ensuring that trust is building in your organization. Lies of commission, lies of omission, failure to walk the talk, failure to do what you say you will do, and subjecting employees to random, haphazard, unexpected change destroy trust. Walk on the better path. Build, dont destroy trust in your organization.
