Behavioral Strengths & Employment Strategies

Productinformatie

Behavioral Strengths and Employment Strategies represents the author's "reverse engineering" of more than forty years of recruiting and employment management. Behavioral Strengths and Employment Strategies describes career progression as the convergence of two levels of self: the behavioral and the strategic. In the author's opinion, based on years of recruiting at all levels in different corporations, occupational success appeared to be related to five behavioral, or internal self-strengths, and five practical occupational strategies. When combined, behavioral strengths and occupational strategies appear to be a powerful predictor of occupational success.

Successful applicants consistently promoted themselves above others competing for the same positions, garnering recognition and respect from managers and peers. Behavioral Strengths and Employment Strategies is based on the notion that combining individual strengths with practical occupational strategies will greatly increase the chances of occupational success. The Readiness Scale Knowing when, where, and how to start any project is half the battle. Whether building a house, or a project to gain reemployment, getting a sense of when, where and how to start is tantamount to achieving success. To that end, the next page includes the "Readiness Scale." Scores will not tell you how to start, but will help focus your attention on where to start. Treat the scale as another way to identify individual strengths and occupational strategies needed to achieve a lifetime of occupational success.
