KNOW YOUR STRENGTHS

Whether it’s leading a project or building a team, distinguishing what you ‘excel at’ from what is ‘necessary’ will help you navigate the opportunities that are best for you, fast-tracking career progression. Chose a path that plays to your strengths and passions and you’ll likely find meaning and purpose in what you do.

MAKE A BALANCED ASSESSMENT

For compensation there has always been exceptions and unfortunately those rare exceptions garner too much attention. It’s important to take a holistic view assigning ‘true value’ to an opportunity. Factor in potential progression, development, company culture and location. Try to avoid allowing those rare compensation exceptions to become your only expectation.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

Entering a new organization prepared and well informed is one of the many advantages of partnering with a search practice. We provide access to additional resources, share guided insights and help set the stage for you to make a great first impression. Your own research is an equally essential step as it not only validates our credibility as trusted partners; but also adds an extra dimension of certainty that will likely resonate with hiring managers.

BE HONEST

We can help you make an objective assessment of your career by reflecting on the highlights and achievements together, but some of your true value can be hidden in the perceived setbacks, obstacles and roadblocks you’ve hit along the way. What you perceive to be insignificant might be the one thing that sets you apart from other candidates. For a hiring manager it can ultimately define how they view your ‘true’ capability and potential.
