Need Your Feedback
So how does your E or I effect how you look for work? Does it make looking for work easier or more difficult? Think of how you have gotten jobs in the past, what steps did you take to land the job?
One of the most unusual pieces of advice I ever gave a client was to tell her to go shopping! Our conversation started when I asked how she had gotten her last few jobs. We had a discussion and discovered that the last 2 out of 3 positions she was offered while shopping. She is an extrovert who was out talking with the people in the stores. She had her regular places she enjoyed shopping, which often indicates a good personality/values fit, and they appreciated her demeanour and product knowledge she displayed while in their store. So we decided she needed to go shopping so she could find another job but I am not sure how happy her husband was with me!
In another situation, a client revealed she was offered jobs while conducting an information interview. As an introvert job searching one-on-one was more comfortable for her. How does your preference for making decisions effect your job/career search?
