In that case you need to start from the most basic level and then gradually and consistently reach the highest level which signifies getting the offer of  the position you need. To make this happen, Resolve on the Industry, job roles or positions you seek : Clearly write down the positions you're willing to take up, if you were to get offers for all of them.

Hey Homie: Your Boss Likes The Gold That Glitters And Polishes It Even More

Image
Michelle* was her junior in that company and she was always willing to help when Michelle asks for guidance to complete assignments. She was the type that knew her stuff and was so good in getting things done. Then she noticed that her friend, Michelle, now attends more conferences with the boss and makes more presentations than before. She was still happy helping her friend to put her presentations together and to do other things. One day, She was notified that she will now be reporting to Michelle. And things fell apart. She couldn't get it. But the management justified their decision to make her former junior, Michelle, to be her new boss. She may have the technical expertise, but Michelle has the upper hand when it comes to people/ leadership. Michelle has been attending conferences with big heads, CEOs, etc, and making presentations.

How To Outlive That Job: Make Your Boss Your Leader

Image
Very few professionals live in the reality of enjoying the kind of growth they need in their career.  Few weeks ago I talked about the CEO of FlourMills Nigeria, Mr  Paul Gbededo,   who will be retiring on 31st December, 2020, after a very fruitful career journey that started as a graduate trainee in that company and rising to and  retiring as CEO.  Achieving such a feat is the exclusive privilege of everyone. but,  It requires work. Yes. It requires commitment, sacrifice, foresight, pa tience, and some tricks. It turns out that only few persons are willing to go all in and make that happen. It also turns out that only few professionals, even without reaching to the level of a CEO, are truly living out their career dreams.  And it turns out that feeling stuck in a job, in a position, in a company, is not all there is to work.  Another ugly side is that of not enjoying job security. It can be really draining to have a job but constantly unsure of y...

I know it can be pretty confusing to some starters that they are the suppliers and companies are, in fact the buyers, when it comes to labour. Not getting this basic thing clear, is the reason there's so much frustration. I know. I've personally experienced some of the ugly things that, that can lead to. Take a look at the attached image illustration. Notice how the sales lady carefully guide her prospective buyer to feel the quality and the beauty of the clothing she wants to sell. What happened up to that point included discovering what the prospect want based on design style, material quality, colour choice and getting the item to the prospect to have a feel of it as seen in the illustration. Those things are not strictly different from what a job seeker needs to do to get his or h...
