My week thirty nine (*) summary

An average week is gone by. I did contact 100+ potential candidates for example with a less than 10% response rate and could introduce one "good" candidate (according to my opinion) to a customer. As mentioned earlier he was rejected due to not enough German language skills a day later. No further comment about this decision 🤔.

Besides that I came in contact with the JTBD theory and had a good discussion later on with one of the trainers, as he needed my opinion and experience for one of his projects. Finally yesterday I got very good feedback from Martin Gaedt (the idea fitness expert) about my JTBD post, always very much appreciated 🙂.

With respect to the career advice and coaching activity my wife mentioned to define career first, before taking any next steps. Here some good approaches I found:

• Choosing a Career picture   http://www.dailyinfographic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Choosing-a-career-Large.jpg
• How to build career skills on your own   https://bizintelng.com/how-to-build-career-skills-on-your-own/

Another topic to keep in mind will be the attitude of the different generations with respect to career. Times and opinions/approaches/attitudes are changing. See some pictures via the menu More --> Photo album or check out the following links:

A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. Max Planck, German - Scientist April 23, 1858 - October 4, 1947
