Angela Hornberg: The Job Market Due Diligence, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Introduction: Navigating Your Career with Strategic Precision The professional landscape today is undergoing unprecedented change. Rapid technological advancements, economic volatility, evolving workplace cultures, and shifting societal expectations have reshaped the definition of career success. Traditional pathways now demand flexibility, foresight, and a strategic approach that is analytical rather than intuitive, proactive rather than reactive. This is not your typical career guide. You will not find instructions here on crafting the perfect resume, mastering interview techniques, or reframing weaknesses as strengths. Instead, this book poses a different- and perhaps unfamiliar -question: What if the key to a fulfilling career lies not in applying for jobs, but in gaining clarity about what truly works for you professionally? Too often, talented professionals get caught in the frenzy of job applications, driven by the passive hope that someone, somewhere, will select them. However - I hope someone wants me - is not a strategy. It is a mindset leading to mismatched roles, uninspiring leadership, and corporate cultures that deplete energy rather than foster growth. Drawing from my extensive experience in executive search and investment banking, I developed the concept of Job Market Due Diligence. Inspired by rigorous practices from the world of mergers and acquisitions, this approach advocates for thorough analysis and strategic clarity applied directly to your career planning. This book invites a 180-degree shift from passive job-seeking to active exploration. It guides you to ask critical questions.
