The HERO Method shows how what are seen as deficits by many are actually signs of strength and skills employers look for in candidates. As in the latest book on HERO states...
Seeing the positives in life experience as valuable assets
Your skills in learning, dealing
with many people and solving problems in changing ways are all valuable skills
you bring to your next employer.
-
"Single parent": Instead of thinking of a single parent as a harried
person with family stresses, think of how he handles those pressures. This pers on knows that when a child needs
help with a late night earache, he alone has to solve the problem. He deals with so many people - from sitters
to transportation to doctors to teachers and has to work well and maintain
relationships with each of them.
Handling emergencies; being the one person in
charge; dealing well with a broad variety of people and their different agendas
- these are valuable skills for many
jobs though these skills do not fit easily onto a resume. You have to KNOW you have these inside of you
and with this knowledge see the world a little differently than you did
before.
- Military Veteran: All hidden skills in HERO are
found in the veteran. Each service
member can detail 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.
Intangibles such as learning new
skills efficiently and effectively and owning the work you have done despite
inevitable mistakes makes the veteran a special job applicant.
-
Ex-convict: Often
someone who has "paid their debt to society" can show that in the
time incar-cerated 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 how she is 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. Adjusting with
communication technology from rotary phones to I-phones, they learn as they go
- a great attribute on the job.
When the hunter can
show how as an individual he has adapted to change, he will not just “talk” of
being adaptable but also show the ability to "walk the walk" of
facing challenges.
