10 Things That Require ZERO Talent But Can Still Lead To SUCCESS.
We often equate success with talent. But the reality is, talent and technical skills alone is not enough. We all have seen talented people squander their success by making poor decisions.
Check out these 10 behaviors that require zero talent yet have a huge impact on our success.
Atlantis has now a LinkedIn Page!
Check our news in our new LinkedIn page! Oh, you don’t have a LinkedIn profile? Well, here are 3 (not thirteen) reasons why you should create your LinkedIn profile right now:
REASON #1: HIRING MANAGERS AND RECRUITERS ARE ON LINKEDIN
Attention full-time job chasers: 94% of recruiters say they use LinkedIn to find candidates. (Some research has found up to 97% of recruiters use LinkedIn.)
Yet the 2014 Jobvite study discovered that while 94% of recruiters are on LinkedIn, only 36% of job seekers are.
Michael Milutis, corporate marketing strategist at CAI and Director and Co-founder of the IT Metrics & Productivity Institute, explains that:
“Any individual who is not on Linkedin in 2016 is akin to a small business that was not in the yellow pages, circa 1980. It’s suicide. Imagine this: what if you showed up for a job interview in the 1980s or 1990s and refused to produce a resume? That’s how decision makers and employers will feel about you if you are not on Linkedin in 2016.”
REASON #2: PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER GETTING JOBS THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY
According to a San Francisco Fed paper highlighted at The Wall Street Journal (paywall), researchers discovered that 75% of those who get new jobs have not been actively looking or even applying to jobs in the last three months. This means one of two things: they were referred, or they were headhunted.
REASON #3: RECRUITERS (AND HIRING MANAGERS) USE LINKEDIN TO DISCOVER TALENT
“If you’re a professional and not ‘on’ LinkedIn, you nearly don’t exist through the eyes of recruiters. This sounds harsh, but think about it: Tomorrow, a recruiter is going to log into LinkedIn and do a search, say, for a graphic designer with specific knowledge of user experience…within, perhaps, a 25 mile radius of a certain zip code. If you’re a graphic designer with UX knowledge, living in that zip code radius, and interested in landing a new job, guess what happens if you’re not on LinkedIn? Yep, the recruiter finds someone else for a role that may have been very interesting to you.”
This example is precisely why you need to cultivate a LinkedIn presence that will attract people looking to hire YOU.
