My client and I were discussing graduate school and what we remembered most from that learning experience. The subject of “unlearn” came up as one of the things that still stood out years later.
As a job seeker, are there any “things” you have had to unlearn and relearn in your quest for new employment? Here’s an unlearn example my client and I chatted about:
“You get a job, you work hard, you keep your nose clean, and you will be taken of.”
Nice thing to learn in the 70’s, 80’s and even the 90’s, but how about the 21st century?
While “you get a job, you work hard, you keep your nose clean” still applies, the “and you will be taken care of” – not so much. What do you think?
What, if anything, might you need to unlearn and relearn as you explore new options and opportunities in today’s intensely competitive job market?
Updating your thinking and strategies to stay current with today’s economic times.
Noticing when something isn’t working and integrating new best practices for competitive advantage.
Letting go of old scripts that have no relevance in today’s world and relearning new ones that do.
Examining thoughts, beliefs and practices to discern worthiness of application now.
Always striving to advance knowledge, skills and abilities to stay current in such changing, turbulent times.
Recognizing that the job market of today is nothing like the one of yesterday, and the job market of tomorrow will be nothing like the one we know today.
Navigating your way forward in a constantly evolving world with learning that leads the way.
