How to get a dream job: the technique of Alena Vladimirskaya

First strip

In the first column we write all our professional skills. Moreover, we write not just a bunch (as is done in the resume), but also divide into three "chapters":

    necessary in the work where you want;
    significant;
    “Cherries on the cake” - additional skills that do not directly affect your value, but which may give an additional advantage (for example, knowledge of French as a second language).

Second strip

We take the position that we want to reach (for example, Google Marketing Director in Ukraine). We find a resume of 10 people who were or are the marketing director there. We analyze their resume. And in the same way, having analyzed everything, we write out their skills in three chapters: necessary, essential and cherries on the cake.

It is a generalized portrait of at least 10 resumes of such leaders, and not everyone. A sort of minimal big data.

And if the Ukrainian Google in general for all the time did not have 10 marketing directors, is it possible to analyze a smaller volume of resumes? Alena Vladimirskaya categorically answers - it’s impossible! In this case, you need to find close companies with similar requirements for the marketing director. In the case of Google, it will be IKEA, for example.
Third strip

This is the result of mapping the first and second. You compare your skills with those of those you aspire to, and as a result write out what you should learn in the near future. Moreover, in the same sequence: necessary, desirable and cherries on the cake.
Extra strip

It would seem that the career plan is clear. Go and do it. But not so simple. The fact is that we studied the past. Past marketing directors. And companies are moving forward. And, changing, they present completely new requirements for candidates.

And here comes the fourth "black bar of foresight of uncertainty." Based on the type and industry of the company, you must determine what type of skills the company will want in 3-5-7-10 years (depending on your current situation), when you can apply for that position. Oddly enough, when analyzing the company itself and a summary of existing marketing directors, it becomes quite transparent.

8 tricks to help you achieve heights in your business

1. Listen and record what you hear Carry a notebook with you all the time (now a smartphone). If you write down all the tasks that you are asked to do at work and really perform them, you will be remembered as a person who is worth contacting. 2. Organize your data into your own system Successful people carefully store and build their notes - about meetings, about the people they met, about the tasks for which they took responsibility. Such an obsessive neurosis is actually a very valuable professional trait. 3. Remind me of your requests If you ask someone for something, put a reminder to see if they really did. Only 20% of people do this. If you’re afraid of becoming obsessive, become “professionally obsessive.” Coach David Allen talks about the “waiting list,” which lists all the appeals of the people you are waiting for. Keep track of these expected hits, and remind them if they’re not running. 4. Specify how much is needed If you do not understand the goal or task, or ...

"Confessions" of screenwriters of television series

Screenwriter for Police Series I wrote the scripts for the series about private detectives. When I got this job, the producers looked for fresh blood and gathered all the candidates in the cinema. The room was crowded, but most of those who wanted it were housewives who considered themselves ready-made scriptwriters. Someone suggested a story about how a young man gave his girlfriend a pig's heart - of course, it was weeded out. But in general, the scripts of television series are not always written by professionals. My series had many authors, and one of them even worked as a croupier in a casino. Producers need a strictly defined product. By the time I was selected for the project, the series went on for several years, and it had clearly defined frameworks. They gave me the "bible" of the series - it showed the characteristics of the heroes, what they can and cannot do. The main characters turned out to be two former police investigators. If one investigator is Zhe...
