With too many candidates looking for a better job and too few enjoying the unique privilege of having multiple offers in hand, how many of you, belonging to former category, are seriously looking into finding out the difference between two sides of the same coin?
Being into the business of "Executive Search and Recruitment" for more than a decade and half, I can safely assume: Very few.
Most of you are going by conventional wisdom and traditional methods of career advancement, without realizing how dramatically the corporate world has changed in last couple of years. One hand we have a high unemployment rate, and on the other hand a huge talent shortage.
Isn't it high time to do little home work and renovate your profile, so that instead of you desperately looking out for a better assignment a host of dream companies come running after you -- either directly, or through their recruitment agencies?
Does it make sense? If so, read further!
The following suggestion is applicable to only those, who're newcomers to the corporate world: From freshers to professionals having a few years of work experience.
Very few brands are built overnight, but through a well planned strategic and tactical initiatives. What you are today in your professional life, one of the important reasons could be the size and reputation of the companies you have worked so far. Size and reputation matter, at least in the corporate world.
So always make it a point to join a big and reputed company in the beginning of your career - or switch over as soon as possible, if you have joined a small company - and apply the same principle to your next couple of changes covering at least a decade of your professional life.
You might get much better opportunities from smaller and less reputed companies with a higher designation and more money, but don't give in to greed; don't run after money during those formative years.
As you know the importance of first few years of your life - in terms of quality of upbringing - to help you grow successful as a human; remember, the same applies to career development as well.
Learning about organizational dynamics - while working in a big and reputed company - could be an invaluable asset, that would always help you later to look at every professional conflicts with a wider and down-to-earth perspective.
After a decade of successful stints with a few big and reputed companies, you can certainly command an astonishing market price - if you truly deserve it - from smaller and less reputed organizations -- may be some good start-ups also.
The person that you're today, is the resultant of the quality of upbringing during first few years of your life; the professional that you're are likely to be tomorrow, would be governed mostly by what you have learned during the first few years of your career.
Personal or professional, success is mostly governed by the quality of upbringing! And in the corporate world, these days, both internal and external recruiters strictly go by this principle.
