The 5 Stages of Landing a Sweet New Job-The Muse

The 5 Stages of Landing a Sweet New Job-The MuseThe 5 Stages of Landing a Sweet New JobI recently got a new job, and it (still) scares me every day. Im not frightened in the horror-film, Freddy vs. Jason type of way. However, I am scared because I dont know the answer to these two questions How in the world did I end up here, and whats going to happen next? Its frightening, exciting, and palm-sweat inducing- all at the same time. For me, it unfolded in five distinct stages. Since Im guessing Im not the only person who rides this emotional roller coaster, I thought Id share them with you. Bonus Ive also included how to survive each one.Stage 1 WaitI Got the Job?I spent approximately two weeks in shock when I landed my new job. I welches wrapping up my current position, but my mind welches spending all its time trying to catch up and process how I got the offer and what it meant. I wasted loads of valuable time sitting at my desk, wondering, Wait- me? Thats time I couldve spent asking myself a much better question How can I be successful starting on day one?The key lesson in this stage is that its OK to take time to celebrate (and process your shock), but you also need to be ready to hit the ground running. Make sure you understand the basics of your new job, and what you need to do now (take a refresher course, read a management book, buy a new office-appropriate wardrobe) to be ready on your first day.Stage 2 Can I Actually Do This?As soon as I finished questioning why I got hired, I started the job and immediately began to question whether or not I could do it.However, the time you spend wondering if youre up to the task takes time away from what really matters- getting better at your new job. Everyone has doubts, but entertaining them steals focus. How do I get over my fears? By reminding myself of this secret Im learning If they didnt think you were able to do the job, they wouldnt have hired you. Confidence is a muscle, and it needs to be stretched and flex ed accordingly. My best days so far have been the ones when I embraced my fear, reassured myself, and sprinted forward into the abyss. (Im still alive and kicking, so it cant be that bad.)Stage 3 Are They Going to Fire Me?Early into my new position, I sent an email that I thought could get me fired. It had no expletives, and it was well-worded and error-free. But I didnt know the person who would be receiving it and felt super nervous to reach out for the first time. (Spoiler alert Im still employed.) Being in new places and doing new things comes with a fair share of confusion and stress. I used to think that the more senior you get, the more structured your role becomes. That is absolutely false. In my experience, the higher you move in your career, the less formal structure you end up having, so you are tasked with creating it, empowering yourself, and tischsetting your priorities. Fear sucks. But inaction because of fear sucks even more. More autonomy means more responsibility, so its up to you to set your own boundaries and find out the activities that are going to drive real value. Dont fear the failure. Fear inaction. Remember, no one knows everything about what theyre doing- and no one expects you to know what youre doing in the beginning. Having questions, getting confused, and making mistakes doesnt mean youre going to get called to the principals office. Stage 4 Wow. I Need Help.Finding friendly co-workers who will show you where the copy machine is located is just the beginning. In this new environment, youre going to need mentors and sponsors. Meaning, people around you who care enough to give you feedback about where you can improve who are transparent enough to share their mistakes and who are caring enough to remind you of who you can be, especially when you cant see it. These sponsors and mentors comprise a larger idea in our collective careers- they sit on your Personal Board of Directors. This group will morph and change, but their objective is simple to provide you with the greatest insight to keep growing your career. Seek out these people, and start building relationships with them. Most importantly, dont be afraid to ask the questions you arent sure about. Those are the ones that matter.Stage 5 Whats Next?My new job was less about updating my LinkedIn profile and more about updating my dreams. New positions come with a caveat Youre there to change something for the better. You will be pushed, stretched, prodded, and pushed again. The other side of that is Im in a different space- personally and professionally- than I was two months ago, because I took a risk. In his New York Times bestseller Mastery, Robert Greene describes the successes of the worlds greatest thinkers and innovators as misconstrued as linear. The reality is more nuanced. He writes, Your whole life is a kind of apprenticeship to which you apply your learning skills. Everything that happens to you is a form of instruction if you pay attention. That apprenticeship is exactly where I find myself right now. Growing, questioning, and exploring what I want to do, and how I can get there. Thats what a new job really is- exposure to an entirely new arena that is unfamiliar, but full of opportunity. Whatever youre dreaming about professionally is definitely possible, but you have to commit to a process of growth. But, believe me The risk of trying something completely out of your comfort zone is worth it, every single time. Photo of emotions courtesy of Shutterstock.

Highlights from the 2019 SIA Executive Forum

Highlights from the 2019 SIA Executive ForumHighlights from the 2019 SIA Executive ForumHighlights from the 2019 SIA Executive ForumChange, flexibility and adaptation were recurring themes at this yearsStaffing Industry AnalystsExecutive Forum held in Austin, TX Feb 25-28.If you attended, you probably know that already. And if you didnt, were happy to share some of our biggest takeaways, themes and buzz-worthy topics we heard at the staffing industrys erstauffhrungexecutive conference.Embrace change or get left behindIn his opening keynote, SIAs presidentBarry Asins message welches clear- if you dont stay ahead, youll get left behind.Our biggest threat is complacency, he said. The idea that this is how things have been in the past is how it will continue to be has to end. We have to be willing to embrace change.While he still sees perceived threats to the industry (a continued reluctance to embrace digital technology for a start), he also sees rich opportunities ahead, many of them r ooted in the skills gap plaguing the hiring industry.In any kind of market failure where supply doesnt meet demand, thats where staffing fits in. Weve got to leverage new technologies and become much more strategic. But most of all, weve got to develop leaders who are prepared to take us to the next level.As a legacy job board and long-time staffing partner thats had to reinvent itself numerous times, we know a thing or two about staying current or being left behind. Thats why we were so excitedto be able to share our latest video and search products with staffing colleagues in Austin- and even happier with the response we received.Be prepared for a recession- or even a depressionBe prepared for a recession- or even a depressionAt the SIAs Health Summit in 2007, economistAlan Bealieauaccurately predicted the recession that welches to come in 2008, so all eyes and ears were on him this year.For the next few years, he says were headed for a period of mostly prosperity, but at the end of the next decade, there could be financial upheaval.The next decade will be like another roaring 20s, he said. But in 2030, were going to have a great depression.If youre not prepared for it, it will wipe you out. If youre a millennial, you can make a fortune from it. If youre a Gen Xer, you can easily survive it. His advice to survive the coming decade (and beyond) is multifold.First, he says, youve got to embrace the future of work.Hire as if millennials are going to control the world because they are. Then decide how youll fit into that world.Youve got to adapt to the millennial world as you go forward, and youve got to educate your clients about that as well, Beaulieu says.To prepare for lean times, he suggests taking an inventory of your company and eliminate unneeded waste.Look for a basset hound in your company (something that people like, but isnt doing anything- a person, product or vertical). Put a leash on it and walk it to the farm where it can be free once more.Consid er training as a value addThe only way to successfully close the skills gap is through re-training and up-skilling. If employers arent prepared to do it, should staffing firms?Thats a question that was asked repeatedly at Executive Forum, and as Barry Asin reminded the audience in his keynote, the current state of hiring could be a boon for staffing firms- if theyre willing to shift gears and embrace change.Any kind of skill shortage presents opportunities and for staffing, and thats in upskilling and training, he said.There are companies already engaging in some type of training, but the question for staffing companies is, is it worth the investment if you can create huge pools of skilled workers that your clients want?75-375 million workers will need to switch occupations by 2028, so were going to need to think differently about how we train workers, saidJoanie Courtney, Chief Marketing Officer at Employbridge.We have training centers doing virtual reality forklift training. For u s, its not just finding better work life for candidates. Were interested in upskilling the American workforce.Decide whether to embrace the angeschlossen hiring marketplaceAnother area of disruption that some staffing firms are embracing is the online hiring marketplace and the human cloud.With the uberization of some recruitment solutions, how big of an impact will online staffing have on traditional staffing firms?The human cloud is the fastest growing part of the talent supply chain, said David Francis, SIAs Research Analyst.Its still one fifth the size of temp workers, he says, But the B2B year-over-year growth is 19%. Thats not consumer human cloud businesses like Uber, but talent suppliers like Upwork, he adds.While online staffing and the human cloud isnt going to disrupt traditional staffing immediately, if it continues to grow, forward-thinking staffing companies will figure out how to integrate these non-traditional audiences and methods.Francis says staffing firms have th ree optionslebensabschnittsgefhrte with an existing online staffing firm or startup. This is a good option if cost is a factor and a better tool might be built tomorrow, he said.Build or invest in your own sourcing tool or app. This makes sense if theres a competitive business model or if its additive to your business and you want to leapfrog to the front. Its also a good option if you have the capital like Adecco, who acquired Vettery.Do nothing and wait.
