You are more than a Label
Beating Labels that Limit In the Job Hunt
An excerpt from the new HERO Book:
Seeing yourself differently -
Whether you have
- a disabling condition,
- a sense of being 'too old'
- other things that may make you feel "less than"
make sure that you do not focus on the negative but instead make friends with what would otherwise hold you back.
Beating Labels that are intended to Limit
Think about it for a moment and build your own list of how the ability to adapt helps the hunter and in turn build the skills needed in employment. People who have lived with "labels" can now see themselves in a new mirror by using the HERO Method to consider what has been seen as a deficit instead now seen as valuable.
- "Disabled" : To survive as someone who has a handicapping condition, you have to learn many things others do not - about yourself, your community, how to resolve problems day to day. Whether it is learning about new medications, dealing with new care providers or accomplishing daily tasks a different way, you have to adapt to stresses as they arise in ways most people never learn.
Your skills in learning, dealing with many people and solving problems in changing ways are all valuable skills you bring to your next emoployer.
- "Single parent" : Instead of thinking of a single parent as a harried person with family pressures, think of how he handles those pressures. This parent knows that when a child needs help with a late night earache, that parent alone has to solve the problem. He deals with so many people - from sitters to transportation to doctors to teachers yet he still has to work well with them.
The ability to handle emergencies; being the one person in charge; dealing well with a broad variety of people and their different agendas and demands - these are valuable skills for many jobs though they do not fit easily onto a resume. You have to KNOW you have these inside of you and see the world a little differently than you did before.
- Military Veteran: All aspects of HERO are found in the veteran. She details the ability to work seamlessly as part of a team and the ability to appreciate the needs and perspectives of her supervisor. Every day she brings energy and drive even under stress.
The intangible such as learning new skills efficiently and effectively and owning the work you have done despite inevitable mistakes we would all make makes the veteran a special job applicant.
- Ex-convict: Often someone who has "paid their debt to society" can show that in the time incarcerated the individual has examined himself fully and is willing to take responsibility for actions. There are avenues for expunging the record, forgiving the offense or bonding the individual for the future. Whatever the ex-con job hunter does, she needs to show living proof that the future is different from her past.
- "Too old": Few generations in history have adapted as quickly and completely to change in the world around them as today's elderly. Just in communication technology from rotary phones to I-phones they learn as they go - a great attribute on the job.
When one of these hunters can show how as an individual he has adapted to change, he can show the ability to "walk the walk", not just say he can change with the challenges faced.

(Popular Video) Is your Resume all Frosting and No Cake?
Is your Resume all Frosting and No Cake?
Take a moment and consider the person who will read and evaluate your resume and job application. Not just YO|U|R resume, but dozens more after yours... do you know what they are looking for?
Cake!
The employer wants something of substance that relates to HIS needs in getting the job done -
something that lets him know
1. you appreciate the pressures on his time
2. you have an understanding of the job you are applying for
but mostly
3. that he is fond of CAKE!
Many resumes are filled with fluffy frosting which looks good and may make the applicant proud of being fourth in a local spelling contest or employee of the month three years ago...
but that is "frosting"
and the employer needs to have something of value or they will look for someone else's resume that has some cake.
Come, see what I mean in the following video...
maybe even have some popcorn while you are watching it.
Now get back to your resumes and practice applications and scrape off the excess fluff you have.
Enjoy the day...
