Курс 1 из 4 — Specialization Career Brand Management

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the current economy, Americans shift jobs every 4-5 years, which translates into 8-10 job transitions, including several career changes, over one’s life time. With competition for jobs on the rise, a person’s continuing employability and career success are increasingly defined by his or her mastery of individual career development and the ability to effectively "manage oneself" (P. Drucker). In this course, you will learn how to think strategically and professionally about your career self-management. Through this course you'll develop an objective, external view of your marketable skills as a solid foundation for building a strong career brand. In particular, you'll be able to: - explain why developing a protean and boundaryless career perspective based on transferable (portable) skills is advantageous for continuing employability and career growth; - design your portable skills portfolio, identify and examine critically important competencies underpinning your transferable skills, and analyze your career self-management competency gaps; - increase self-awareness, pinpoint your career goals, and envision your future work self; - recognize the central role of self-management for developing transferable, marketable, skills and create a customized self-management information system (Career Development Lab) for ongoing personal development and professional growth; - conduct a thorough, competency-based job analysis in your area of interest and examine practices of evidence-based, data-driven competitive employee selection; -implement your newly developed skills for crafting effective selection criteria statements and refining your job applications.

Hello and welcome back.

In our previous video we talked about why you selected the job and

why you selected the company that you are looking to work for.

In this video, we will return back to our competencies and

talk about competency mapping to help us get ready to be able to interview and

put our best foot forward for our next job.

So let's return back to the dashboard, where we were able to look at those

competencies needed for the particular job that we're pursuing.

And then looking at the dashboard we were able to determine whether or not,

because the dashboard had a traffic light of red, yellow, green,

indicating whether or not green was ready to go, yellow, not ready, or

had a little bit, and red, not ready at all.

And so we want to return back to that, and

start to drill down to the next level of our competencies.

And so it might be helpful to pull out a piece of paper and

begin to draw out a mapping or something visual to kind of help you visualize what

we're going to be discussing in this video.

So for example, you might have a competency such as IT skills.

So now we want to drill down to what's called a subcompetency which

shows evidence that we have mastered the competencies necessary for the job.

So how would I show that I am proficient in IT skills?

Maybe I have some previous experience with CRM systems.

Maybe I've done some data entry.

And so that in itself, and me being able to

excel very well in those fields have shown that I'm proficient in IT skills.

Let's look at another example, such as communication skills.

And how would I be able to articulate to a potential employer

that I'm proficient with communication skills that are necessary for

the job in which they are looking to potentially hire me for?

So I might show evidence and

talk about some experience that I've done in written communication.

As well as verbal communications or verbal skills.

To show that I'm proficient again in communication for this job.

One last example might be interpersonal skills.

Have I shown ability to lead others?

Have I shown the ability to be able to plan skills or

to plan projects in a workplace?

There are some other competencies that we might want to consider and

how we can show sub-competencies, or evidence of the competency.

Such as knowledge of your field.

How can you articulate and

prove to an employer that you have knowledge of your particular field?

Another example might be ethical and social responsibility.

We have to understand that ethical and

social responsibility in one industry, such as automotive,

might be totally different than another industry such as retail.

So how would I be able to articulate to my potential employer that I have ethical and

social responsibility and I’m proficient in that for this particular job?

Another example might be problem-solving skills

as well as problem analysis solution.

You have the ability to have a problem presented to you and

then go and find a solution.

And are able to implement that solution and to see assessment of it.

How it was successful.

Another one might be understanding your organization.

Not only do I understand the industry,

such as automotive as our example that we've been using in past videos, but

now I understand the organization such as Ford Motor Company.

And I'm able to understand how Ford Motor Company may differ from General Motors or

Chrysler even though we're operating in the same industry.

Another one is self-directed and active learning.

How am I able to show a potential employer that I am self-directed,

I can take initiative?

Not only do I bring forth a lot of skills that can be immediately put into

action but I'm also a good listener, where I can take information given to me,

process it internally, and then put in together a process to

articulate or solve whatever situation that might be presented to me.

So what have we learned in this video?

We're learning the next steps of being able to look at our competencies and

drill down to figure out what sub-competencies will be necessary

to show evidence to a potential employer that we have proficiency

in this competency that is needed for a particular position.

In our next video, we will talk about putting together a strategic plan.

Going a little bit deeper into coming up with a plan of our evidence, and for our

sub competencies that lead to proficiency of our competencies themselves.

Thank you.
