We recently wrote about an engineer who drew attention to his deadlocked job situation with a creative and ironic mash-up. An example of creative Job Search? Probably not, says Svenja Hofert.

Why are some people just not successful?

I asked the question on Twitter: Can a creative expression of displeasure also be a creative job hunt? No, my career specialist Svenja Hofert, because the basic attitude of the applicant is to negative. But is it that easy to say?

Svenja Hofert gave me hers right away Opinions tweeted back: “By far crossing the line of good taste. It is ... with me clear, why he can't find anything - aggressive basic attitude;-)" - and then submitted a blog post in which she asks: Why are some people just not successfully? It says:

Why are some people unsuccessful?

I find his Idea but not as fun and creative. And I see the way it's edited, too, why that Boy man with his other documents did not come to a successful conclusion...

But an industrial engineer can definitely get a job even with a three before the decimal point. If it still doesn't work, it's often because of the lack of internships or suspicious certificates Personality and exaggerated ideas.

reasons

Hofert mentions various reasons, which, according to my experience, are surprisingly often connected:

It is precisely this last point that gives me food for thought. Is it that easy to do with that, everyone Candidate to make good salespeople? Nobody is really good at everything; I read somewhere that there are types of salespeople who primarily impress with their communication skills – and inventors who tend to tinker around in a more introverted way.

Blinded by self-portrayers

Go one Companys Aren't these brilliant minds lost if you let yourself be dazzled by the self-portrayal of the individual? And is it desirable that only those people advance in terms of career who do well merchandise be able?

That reminds me of a blog post I posted on the topic HR, who prefer to be fooled, sometimes wrote – and for whom it is a lot awareness gave.

Do we have to be all sellers?

Only Seller: Of course, that's a little exaggerated - but when I look around sometimes, I get the impression that it's more and more about selling. Many a careerist seems to see things the same way and change horses – like these examples Spiegel Online demonstrate.

Or is it true that in the end, seen in the long term, good ones Performance and humanity interspersed? Are there any long-term studies on this frequently propagated hope for justice?

Good heads are lost

And do not companies lose exactly those good, clever heads because they just look for adaptability and good selling?

This is supported, for example, by the fact that some of the engineers who are desperately unable to get a job in Germany have relative jobs abroad (Sweden or Switzerland). fast found something (just read through this comment).

Smart people can be selling badly?

A while back I wrote about “Lie with the Career Factor Intelligence” made a blog post. And it also quotes Jochen Mai, who says: "The more vehemently I claim something, the more successful I am". Or to put it another way: The more I'm convinced of my own nonsense and don't question it critically...

Because intelligent people with brilliant ideas are more often the more critical and therefore also more self-critical. And that's exactly why they don't do well merchandise can.

Between genius and madness?

Or is it a myth, because supposed geniuses are knocking themselves out in a fit of overconfidence because they cover up their inability to respond to other people? After all, good selling is less about persuading than communicating ...

Doesn't that show that such people are ultimately dealing with psychological defects and neuroses, even downright pathological cases, as a human resources manager pointed out to me in the course of the discussion about the shortage of skilled workers Hand said?

Are the people guilty or the system?

Only: Maybe here too we have to dig deeper into the causes. Because maybe these are not individual ailments, but social symptoms, as well Training Markus Väth has criticized in another context. Maybe people aren't just themselves Debt, but those Education or Education.

In any case, a message from the German Association for Educational and Vocational Counseling knows that careers often have something to do with equal opportunities. Only then to call for politics again in the end ... The committed approach of Lecturer Diana Bridde, to make missing teaching works simply myself, I like it already better!
