Is Your Job Search Guided by the Controller or the Controllee?
I'll define what I mean by these terms."The Controller" is a job seeker that is ruled by doing everything right. He/shehas read all of the appropriate books,done a good job composing a resume,but is still unemployed. "The Controllee" has also read all of thebest books about the job search, hasa credible resume, but is still without work. What can each of them do to make theirjob search campaign: WORK. The person who is controlling what theythink is a good campaign is not stoppingto: Polish and have great inter-personalskills; doesn't send a thank you note anddoesn't ask for the job. The person who is being controlled by the process needs to assess their campaign and see what they are leaving out. Is their networking going well,is their sufficient follow-up? Is there roommade for the unexpected and spontaneous?(Flaws that the controlling person needs tobe aware of too.) These are my remedies. Plan, plan, plan,follow-up, send out thank you cards, give asmuch as you take; and look at most rejectionswith a bag of salt. By all means have somefun with the whole danged search!Flexible people get most jobs. c, 2004 Marilyn J. Tellez, M.A.
