Job Seekers : Think Outside the Box
By admin on Nov 10, 2008 in Uncategorized
Many job posting sites , listings and even newspaper or craig’s list ads and postings are readily visible on the internet – as most current job seekers know well. The amazing part is that some still cling only to new technology and technologies . Its as if the Winnipeg Sun, Winnipeg Free Press and the Globe and Mail are their only sources whatsoever. There are nothing wrong with using these sources as a source of leads. They serve as a good starting point for your job search and searches. However to use these sources as your only source an list of jobs is to severly limit yourself in options and results. As Shaun Stephens use to note “step out of the box”. The only problem is that Shaun had no idea whatsoever what this meant and as well how the term was originated.
The term “step” or “think out of the box” came from a parlor game that was played by a management consultant team in the 1960′s. A puzzle on paper was presented to management types at various major corporations ( who the consultants were trying to woo or some say con). The puzzle was to be solved on paper. At some point in time the victim would admit he could not complete the full task. The consultant would point out that all that had to be done was to join the dots outside the boxed delineated area. This was “outside the box” . The victim had mistakenly assumed the rules that he could only the points in the boxed in area. Thus to solve the puzzle one had to “think outside of the box”. It could be looked at as a matter of simple things for simple minds. Or a simple parlor game .
The moral of the story is that you have to think “outside the box” and use other sources – not only the older , well known sources that were used previously like newspaper ads only. To do so is to limit yourself in your job employment as well as ulitmate career searches.
