February 19, 2016 Career Fitness: Make Sure You Get Career Insurance
A recent survey by Glassdoor found that 45 percent of those who are
currently employed expect to change jobs within the next 12 months. What
kind of position will they consider? The same kind a person in transition
should be looking for: *a career advancement opportunity*.
There are, of course, many different reasons for taking a job and those
reasons often determine the kind of opening to which we apply. Some of us
are looking for a position that offers a high salary. Others want a job
with great benefits. And still others search for work that's only a short
commute from home.
Such goals can shape successful job searches, of course, but only in the
short term. They will get you off unemployment or put more money in your
pocket; they can give you medical insurance or more time with your family.
They do not, however, guarantee sustained career success. They're term
insurance, not whole career insurance. They cover you for awhile, but not
for the long haul. And in today's unpredictable economy, being *always
protected* is a must.
How do you find such protection? Get career insurance.
Look first for a different kind of job, one that will position you for long
term success. Make finding a "career advancement opportunity" your first
priority and then look for the other factors - pay, benefits, the commute -
that are important to you.
Why are these opportunities so good for your career? Because they motivate
and support you to perform at your peak. They enable you to excel at your
work, grow in your field and be rewarded for your contribution. And those
outcomes are the best insurance you can get for a long and successful
work-life.
*Finding Career Insurance*
What makes a job a career advancement opportunity?
It meets two important criteria:
- The job itself *challenges you* to do your best, while offering access
to new knowledge and experiences that can be helpful to you in the future.
- The organization offering the job *enables you* to do your best, by
offering an environment and the resources that position you for success.
How can you evaluate a job to see if it satisfies those two criteria? Ask
yourself these five questions:
- What will I get to do?
- What will I get to learn?
- With whom will I get to work?
- What will I get to accomplish?
- How will I be recognized and rewarded?
If you can't answer those questions about a job or if the answers you do
get leave you less than excited about the prospect, don't accept an offer -
no matter how enticing it may be. A good employer will want you to have all
of the information you need to determine if its job is as good for you as
it is for the organization. To put it another way, a good employer will
want you to have career insurance because by protecting your success, its
success is protected as well.

A Prescription for the Soul
*Is the sun rising or setting on the American Dream?*
*A Prescription for the Soul <http://onestoryforall.com>* answers that
question with two parallel stories.
One is a coming-of-age tale about a group of American teenagers - Army
brats - living on a small U.S. Army garrison in Verona, Italy in 1963. They
spend their weekends exploring the ancient city of Venice ... and
themselves ... as they try to understand the social and political upheaval
taking place back home. And then without warning, they are thrust into a
crisis that will shape their lives and their view of the American Dream.
The other is a coming-of-wisdom tale about those same teenagers - now aging
Baby Boomers - living on the Gold Coast of Connecticut in 2007. They spend
their days exulting in their exclusive class ... the 1-percenters of 21st
Century America ... even as they confront the despair inflicted on others
by their own corruption and greed. Then once again, they find themselves
facing a crisis, but this one will shape the lives of their children and
the legacy of their generation.
*A timeless saga of growth and redemption and an unwavering examination of
the challenges facing America today.*
*This historical novel is not yet in bookstores, but you can read a free
excerpt and order a pre-publication copy of the book at* *OneStoryforAll.com

Get the Advice That Works
There's plenty of free job search and career advice on the Web. But, if
that's all it takes to be successful, we wouldn't still have so many
Americans finding it so hard to get reemployed and so unhappy at work once
they are.
The reality is that too much of what you find online is incomplete (a short
article here, a blog post there), out-of-date (posted before the Great
Recession changed everything) or just plain wrong. So, if you're looking
for strategies and tips, tactics and techniques that will actually work in
today's tough economy, make an investment in yourself. Get one or more of
the books below:
*A Multitude of Hope: A Novel About Rediscovering the American Dream

This modern-day epic traces the journeys of three out-of-work professionals
searching for answers in today's seemingly nonsensical job market. Along
the way, they discover the secret to "career security" and the pathway to
real and lasting success.

From Lisa Rangel. Great read and practical advice
Alex
I just read someone's link on Facebook about a man that got kicked out of an all-you-can-eat buffet after consuming over 50 pounds of food.
It reminds me of all the job seekers voraciously reading and downloading all the free blog posts, eBooks, and cheat sheets their virtual plate can hold.
They keep reading and applying the abundantly free advice without looking at the source of where it's coming from...
And no interviews come.
And certainly no offers are forthcoming...
But they just keep consuming and consuming...
Feeling stuffed but not satisfied.
Why?
Instead of consuming one healthy, yummy, properly prepared meal and. turning it into a satisfying dining experience…they just keep going back for more mass-marketed, not-made-for-their-body crap food.
Just like the job seekers that go from one free blog post to another, hoping this is the ONE that will give them the answer they need to get the job satisfaction they so desperately want.
What's worse is they don't even realize how much they've consumed.
They are not even thinking about how the over abundance of free-doesn't-apply-to-them-advice is affecting them...
They just keep "eating, eating, eating".
Well, that's N-O-T happening at my next training session.
BUT…here's how this is going down.
If you're a mid-level to high-level executive in a for-profit corporation who is itching for the next opportunity, you will want to sign up for my next training session:
<http://tinyurl.com/lrangel182316> How to Write Your Executive LinkedIn Profile
to Land Your Next Position Faster
But attend this no-cost session on one condition:
You will attend and commit to implementing at minimum of ONE thing I will cover in the training session that will make your time worthwhile.
Just in case you need me to be MORE CLEAR on this…
That means, you will personally commit to taking one action taught in the training session.
I don't want readers to attend--I want committed doers to join me.
Is this you?
<http://tinyurl.com/lrangel182316> Good....sign up by clicking HERE.
Are you done feeling stuffed with useless, not-working-for-you, empty-calorie job search info and ready to feel satisfied with the nutritious morsels of corporate job landing direction that will bring results?
So---no going home too stuffed with empty "LinkedIn Profile" calories to put any of it to use.
<http://tinyurl.com/lrangel182316> At my "How to Write Your Executive LinkedIn Profile to Land Your Next Position Faster" training session, you get the best of the best advice with the highest nutritional value.
No voluminous overwhelm....just precise action.

Bon Appetit and see you there!
