    Add These Metrics to Your Resume | 40 to Choose From

    Have you ever heard me speak of THE GREAT 8?!?!
    As in, like, how could you not have unless this is the first email you’ve ever opened from me?
    The GREAT 8 are the major accomplishments employers shoot for.
    Don’t sprain your brain: 1) revenue generation, 2) market awareness, 3) customer attraction, 4) customer happiness, 5) corporate growth, 6) employee happiness, 7) cost reduction, 8) process efficiency.
    K? K.
    You, as an employee, work on something that contributes to one or more of these 8 areas.
    Otherwise, you don’t have a job.
    Whether you’re putting together your résumé or explaining a story in a job interview, you need to highlight how you’ve contributed to these areas.
    Today, I’m loading up your cannon with tons of fire powder to illustrate exactly how you contributed to these goals.
    You’ll get ~ 40 key employment performance metrics that coincide with these Great 8 areas.
    You might even be surprised how awesome you are when we get done with this one!

    How to Create Your Own Role

    How to Create Your Own Role

    Have you ever been in a position where you were asked to sketch out your dream role?
    Perhaps during an interview, or maybe in a casual informational chat, where it seemed like the company was just intrigued by your background and potential?
    Imagine this: You walk into an interview, or maybe even a discussion with your boss, and instead of being handed a job description or assignment, you're asked, "What can you create for us?"
    Then, you whip out a crystal ball that not only predicts but also molds your future at the company.
    Nice, eh?
    Or, scary because you’re not sure what to do?
    Either way, I have you covered today on exactly how to create your own role.

    Best Job Interview Method | CAAR Not STAR

    Are you exhausted from trying to figure out the best way to say what you want to say in a job interview?
    As in, which method do I use?
    Why do I have to speak interview-speak instead of normal, human-speak?
    Why is the company telling me I have to use the STAR technique?
    What the hey is the STAR technique?
    Wait, now that I think of it, Coach Andy tells me that approach isn’t as good as his CAAR method.
    Exhausting, I know.
    You know who isn’t exhausted?
    Me.
    I never tire of thinking up creative ways to help you better understand storytelling concepts and unlock your potential—especially when it comes to selling yourself.
    Speaking of never tiring, here you go…

    LinkedIn Tips for Job Seekers That Attract Recruiters | An Inside Look

    LinkedIn Tips for Job Seekers That Attract Recruiters | An Inside Look

    Do you wish your LinkedIn inbox was flooded with messages from recruiters fawning all over you?
    Would you settle for a few each week?
    Seeing nothing?
    Well, you need to know what drives them to you.
    I might not know how to get the YouTube algorithm to send people my way, but I do know how recruiters filter their LinkedIn searches.
    I know that because we had corporate and executive recruiters show us their dashboards and walk us through their processes as we built our latest rendition of the milewalk Academy® LinkedIn Workshop.
    I also know what job seekers can do to get those filters to choose them and that’s what I’m sharing today.

    The Job Interview Formula Guaranteed to Get You Hired

    The Job Interview Formula Guaranteed to Get You Hired

    Today, you get a podcast on The Job Interview Formula Guaranteed to Get You Hired (CAAR).
    It’s titled that because, well, it’s an actual formula, which, if you use it, I pinky swear, you’ll get hired.
    It literally, IMHO, is one of, if not, THE, very best podcasts I’ve created on how to answer questions—like ANY question—in a job interview.
    I cover the emotional and feelings aspect of it.
    I cover the step-by-step tactics.
    And encore with a very-detailed example to drive it home so it registers with zero distortion!
    Where might I learn something like this?
    Well, I coach, individually, approximately 500 people each year. Every year. Most of whom need interview coaching from me.
    To boot, I’ve been studying interviewing since 2004 as an executive recruiter.
    That’s excluding the week-long behavioral interview coaching and roleplaying I endured way back in 1990. (1-9-9-0 just so you know that what’s a typo.)
    You’ll also need to disregard all the hiring I did up until 2004.
    Even so, I’m confident that leaves me with enough experience based on whatever’s left over.
    Did I mention I wrote a book on this?
    Can we agree I’ve had lots of practice?
    Good!
    Now, enjoy…
