I can't say enough about the amazing Never Search Alone process and community. phyl terry and his team have made an amazing gift to the world.
Capturing Phyl’s three breakthrough ideas here (copied verbatim from his website).
Three breakthrough ideas animate Never Search Alone
1. Job Search Council (JSC)
Because your emotional balance is the most important thing you need to manage in the job search, you need a support group of fellow job seekers that will help turn your insecurity and anxiety into hope, motivation, and accountability.
[JMS: said another way… job searching is an emotional roller-coaster, and people on roller-coasters rarely make good choices. One’s JSC…essentially peer-learning applied to job searching…helps ensure data-driven (not emotion-driven) decision-making.]
2. Candidate-Market Fit
We came up with this powerful concept because you are the ‘product’ in a job search. Thus, before you begin networking and interviewing, you need to identify precisely what you want and what the market wants. This key step will help you figure out the intersection of your hopes, dreams, and market realities.
3. Play to Win-Win
Never Search Alone teaches you how to interview in a way that increases your chances of getting an offer — essential in today’s job market. As a bonus, the process also helps you negotiate your offer in such a way that you set yourself up for long-term success – key to building a great career.
PS: Love this poem from Dorie Clark…so in keeping with the NSA approach!
