Education
is by far one of the most important facets of life. You need a good
education so you can get a good job, and gain valuable work
experience. Which adds value to you as a person, and makes you more
valuable to the marketplace which is the corporate world. Having a
college degree does say something about your status. It shows that
you are a serious student that has goals, and dreams of the perfect
job and a better life. Setting your goals and standards in life is an
important part of becoming an adult. You must have a competitive
nature if you plan on succeeding. You have to become the most
aggressive person in the world, someone that will stop at nothing to
achieve their goals. The reason why you must have this mentality is
simple. Successful people are visionaries they can see themselves in
the future. They have a mental picture of the lifestyle that they
want and they will let nothing stop them from achieving their goals.
Successful people know the importance of TIME and how valuable it is.
Successful people are opportunists they see something they want and
they go after it immediately, because they know there is a lot of
competition in the job market.
Here's
a quick example of what I mean.
Let's
say a hundred thousand dollar a year job opens up in Radnor Township.
The job description is handling all of the marketing and brand
management for a hotel chain. Does the job automatically go to
someone that lives in Radnor Township ???
The
answer is NO we now live in the digital age, Anyone regardless of
where they live in the world can apply for that job. Someone in Italy
can get that job, someone in Russia can get that job. Just because
you have a college education and a degree from a great university
does not guarantee you the job, living in the same town that the
position is being offered doesn't increase your chances either.
You
must have a competitive nature, you must be aggressive, and you
better bring your A-Game because I guarantee your competition is
bringing their A-Game.
I
want to elaborate a bit little more on this point every summer I hire
6 interns to work for me, although this year I did end up with 7
interns. I posted the opportunity on various social media and
multimedia outlets. This year I have Two interns from New York, Two
interns from the Philadelphia area, one coming from Russia on a j1
visa, and one coming from China on a j1 visa. The seventh intern is
from Belarus and he was by far the most impressive..
All
of these applicants are the best of the best they are the top 1%.
All of them share certain traits they were confident, aggressive, and
had great analytical and problem solving abilities. Even though a
few of the interviews were done through FaceTime they were all
wearing suits
“First
impressions last a lifetime and professionalism matters” !!!!
All
of them speak a minimum of three languages.
So
when it comes to the job market remember it's no longer a local job
it's a global job opportunity, Anyone from anywhere can get that job.
The work from home job market is increasing daily and it's only
picking up steam as it goes it's not slowing down it's getting bigger
and bigger every day.. Due to all of the technological advancements
we have in today's society we now live in a global marketplace. This
technology spans all around the world and as companies expand their
corporate empire they are utilizing the internet more and more. They
are adapting their businesses to meet the needs of their consumers.
They are opening new stores in different countries and increasing
their profit margins by hitting a whole new demographic. So this
summer instead of hanging out at the beach, or doing nothing
productive. I strongly suggest going out and getting a job and
gaining some valuable work experience, or finding an internship.
Because you will definitely need a strong work history if you ever
want to be considered for a job in the corporate world.. If you have
no work history you have no chance of getting that dream job.
Corporations
do not hire people with no work history because you have no work
references, no credibility, no past performance reviews, no
marketable skills.
So
that degree you worked so hard to get is not even worth the paper
it's printed on. So that PHD that you're holding now stands for
Poor
Hungry
&
Determined
So
if you want to be taken seriously as an adult you need to start
acting like one now. Welcome to reality no one ever said it was going
to be easy, but if you put in the time and the effort it will be
worth it in the end.. This year I had 900 applicants 800 got
immediate responses “Thank you for applying but the positions have
already been filled” No work experience = No job !!!!!
The
last hundred people all went through the interview process and a lot
of them looked really good on paper, but in person not so much.. A
few applicants wore sweat pants and sweat shirts to the interview,
and thought because they went to an Ivy league college like Yale they
had the job in the bag....
Wrong,
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, so Wrong it's not even funny..
Other
people had no interpersonal skills what so ever. Quite a few people
choked under pressure, and had nothing of value to say, nor did they
ask any questions.
Only
7 people met all of the requirements and made it through the
interview without choking. They knew how to answer every question,
they had an air of confidence you don't often see. Only one girl had
more moxie than the rest, she knew she nailed the interview, because
when I asked her if she had any questions for me. Her response was
priceless- She said “ Who are the other 5 people I'm going to be
working with” ? So I looked at her and said oh you thought you got
the job ? The expression on her face was PRICELESS... I still have
43 or 44 more applicants to interview before I come to a final
decision. She looked at me and said I'll see you in 6 weeks we both
know I got the job.. She pointed to herself with her thumbs and said
I got this, then extended her hand. I shook her hand and said you are
correct you got the job Congratulations..
So
if you want that dream job your resume better reflect that you are a
serious business professional and you have something of value to
offer your future employer other than a degree with your name on it..
If you are still in college I am quite certain you can find a few
students that graduated last year. I want you to find the students
that had no prior work history and ask them how hard was it to find a
job after graduation ?? How many interviews did they go on ?? Ask
them if they're currently working in your dream job ?? Next I want
you to find a few more recent graduates that worked every summer they
were in college. Ask them the same three questions. I guarantee you
get completely opposite results. The Students that worked every
summer will have better jobs with higher starting salaries.. The
people with no work experience will have lower paying jobs, and quite
a few of them will probably be doing jobs that they did not go to
college for, or they might still be looking for a job.. When you have
work experience you have references, you have a higher skill set, you
are more valuable to the marketplace. Seriously ask around don't take
my word for it find out for yourself and you will be shocked at the
responses you get.. I'm telling you this because these are lessons
they don't teach in college, and parents don't teach these lessons at
home..
Guess
who teaches these lessons ???????? Mentors, and Life Coaches
Mentors
and Life Coaches have mastered every aspect of life. We can show you
how to acquire your dream job, by teaching you the top 20 things you
need to know about the interview process. We are all industry
experts, we have the ability to build a business from the ground up.
Every single facet of life and business we are experts in. This is
why corporations have us speak at their corporate events. This is why
we are hired as outside consultants. Because we hold more value then
their entire corporate culture. Our insight, perspective, and
methodology is unmatched in today's society.
We
are always ahead of the curve, our mindset is ten years from now,
when most corporations are looking at spread sheets with a ten months
from now point of view. To give you some perspective my schedule of
corporate events, and consulting appointments, and public speaking
engagements I am currently booked up until August of 2018. The
reason why I am so sought after is because I have a proven track
record. Every corporation that I have done consulting for has seen an
average of 25% increase in profits or higher. I have boosted employee
morale 100% the employees that attend my corporate seminars go back
to work loving their jobs. Which boosts productivity and increases
sales, and all of the back of the house employees have a better
understanding of what the front of the house employees need to be
successful in their jobs. I make sure that employees are getting the
recognition that they deserve, because I know it's important to
acknowledge each persons contributions individually. Every business
plan that I have implemented has worked, every new strategy has out
performed its expectations, every policy I put in place was
effective. Every motivational speech I give has positive results.
Every group of employees that I personally train double and triple
their sales goals. Everyone from the President of the company down
to the person that greets you at the door has a greater understanding
of what corporate culture really is. Because I lead by example with
excellence and integrity while communicating the values of purpose
and vision.
