Five Reasons to Not Only Look Out for #1 in the Job Hunt
Posted: 28 Sep 2011 07:04 PM PDT
http://feedproxy.google.com/ ~r/melissacooley /~3/x6frytWWqD8/ ?utm_source= feedburner& utm_medium= email
Then, said James, you dont hold with that saying, `Everybody look after
himself, and take care of number one?
No, indeed, said John, that is a selfish, heathenish saying, whoever uses
it; and any man who thinks he has nothing to do but take care of number
one, why, its a pity
From Black Beauty. Courtesy The Literature Network.
I have been reading an abridged version of Black Beauty to my six-year-old
daughter recently, and we came across the above quoted part in the book.
After explaining to her what taking care of number one meant, I asked her
if she thought that was a good way to behave. She agreed that people should
not act that way, and we went on.
Later that same week, my heart swelled with pride when I read the weekly
progress report from my daughters teacher. In it, the teacher recounted an
episode from gym class: [A classmate] fell while running and [my daughter]
stopped running, went over to him, and helped him up. It was so cool to see
her putting what we had talked about into action!
When I asked my girl why she chose to help her classmate, she responded, He
could have been hurt, Mama! I had to help him. In her mind, that was the
only thing she could do in that situation, even though it may have meant
her not winning in the activity.
All of this reminded me of a post that Tim Tyrell-Smith of Tims Strategy
wrote a while back. In it, he advocated sharing leads with your network,
even if the person in question is also looking for work in the same field.
Like Tim says, you dont willy-nilly start broadcasting your strategy to
everyone within earshot. But should you share information with folks you
are building relationships with, even if they are competing for the same
positions? Yes, and heres why:
1. You can only get one job. If you have hot leads for three different
jobs, can you seriously work at all three if you get offers? Of course not.
2. Not every job opportunity will end up being a good fit. In his post, Tim
shares that once he started talking about what was happening with his job
search, one of the people in his network said that he had interviewed at
the same company, but didnt get an offer. It turns out that it wasnt the
best fit for his friend. The same may happen to you.
3. You enhance your personal brand. When you turn the spotlight around and
help someone else, oftentimes the result is that you shine more brightly.
4. People will go out of their way to return the favor. Helping someone
else out is an action thats not soon forgotten. More often than not, the
assistance you provide to others will come back to you. Tims post nicely
illustrated that point; when he shared information about leads with his
network, he received back valuable information about interview experiences
one person had at a mutual job opportunity.
Dont always expect the good karma to come back immediately, however. It
might take a little while, but thats OK. You could find yourself in the
situation where someone you helped six months ago is now contacting you
because she is now employed and there is an opening at her new company for
someone just like you!
5. It feels good! Yeah, Im talking about those warm fuzzies you get when
someone benefits because you acted. Just like when you volunteer, doing
something that facilitates the success of another person gives you a sense
of satisfaction.
Do you share leads and other information with people who may be your
competitors? Why or why not?
