Darrell Gurney: Breaking Bad, Career And Hiring Habits!


Listen Later

Why is it that we put more thought into lunch choices than we do our career or hiring decisions?

Today we are going to discuss the top three bad habits that both candidates and companies do throughout the hiring process that kill their ability to make a smart decision.

Today's Quote:

To change habits, we must study the habits of successful role models.” – Jack Canfield

Show Guest:

Darrell Gurney is a career expert, executive coach and authority in supporting people through successful transitions. He brings back the power of social connection by teaching professionals that you’re simply one face-to-face relationship away from your dream job life.

He is the author of the Amazon bestseller “Never Apply for a Job Again: Break the Rules, Cut the Line, Beat the Rest."

As founder of both CareerGuy.com and TheBackForty.com, Darrell’s motto for both career and life is, as Frank Sinatra sings, “the best is yet to come, and won’t it be fine!”

Episode highlights:

  • The top 3 bad habits we need to stop right now!
  • Why these habits are so detrimental
  • Good habits to replace the bad
  • Hiring bad habits from both sides:

    Darrell’s top 3:

    • 1. Looking to see what jobs are available & Going through the front door by applying for open positions.          
      • Take charge of their career path vs be at the effect
      • Get out of your box: the house, the computer screen, the phone, and get in front of people.
      • 80% of all jobs are filled before they are ever advertised by the people in the know bringing in the people they know
      • 2. Failing to develop relationships beyond the job search process.
        • Never submerge in your job or your life. Get out, be making connections, be talking to people about your interests and passions
        • 3. Not treating yourself like a business
          • Realize that you have your own business, and you always have -- you simply lease out your employable assets
          • A business owner is always concerned first and foremost about two measures: ROI (Return on Investment) and ROE (Return on Equity). You want to similarly always watch, manage and monitor your own Return on Individuality and Return on Effort.
          • Rick’s top 3:

            • Winging it-
              • company values -clueless
              • Not clear on what the business needs
              • Work that needs to be accomplished
              • Listening!
              • Interview Process
                • Not clearly defined
                • Following the pack -
                • Accepting the Status quo
                • Testing people before engaging
                • Transactional relationship
                  • Not understanding the person across from you
                  • Focus on skills
                  • Protective of the culture
                  • Why are these habits bad?

                    • How can you get where you are going when you don’t know where you are?
                    • How do we fix these habits?

                      • Winging it- not clear on what the business needs
                        • Build preparation time into your schedule
                        • Define what the business needs (not your wants) and who you need to take you there
                        • Interview Process
                          • Structured, Organized, Timed & Purpose Driven
