How to Save a Job in a Disaster? 5 Tips to Make the Worst Workout Work
A few months ago, my colleague, Nick Boulton, had a similar experience at the company he founded.
Nick had to work at a large tech company that had lost a lot of employees in a data breach.
Nick knew that his team was in a state of crisis and that they had to get the job done.
But he didn’t know how to make the most out of his time.
That’s where the free training comes in.
Nick and I started our training program, called the Job-Skills Lab, to help us figure out how we could best use our time in a crisis situation.
The job-skills lab is a resource for anyone who wants to learn about the various aspects of job training.
Here are the top 10 tips to get you started.
1.
Get to Know the Types of People You’re Working With.
The best part of the Job Skills Lab is that you can access it anytime you want.
So you can watch any of the videos and go into a panic mode and watch as someone in the room explains what the most common types of people are.
I like to watch this one with my co-workers.
It’s an interesting take on the job-training concept.
I don’t want to be the person that just sits there and watches the videos.
So I ask them to do a little bit of a Q&A before I go into the session.
Then I go in and talk about the person who’s interviewing them.
It helps us better understand the type of person we’re interviewing and the type they might be. 2.
Ask For Support.
We all have different strengths and weaknesses, and you can help each other by asking for help.
Nick showed me this one video of a woman who had been on maternity leave for a few months and was struggling with how to communicate with her baby.
Nick was surprised by how much support she was getting from the company.
The other day I called to ask for help with a different kind of crisis.
Someone on the other end of the line was just super helpful.
They were talking about how the company had started using an HR software to track the employees who had left and how to manage those who stayed.
I think that’s a great place to start a conversation about how we can work better together.
3.
Know What To Expect From a Job Interview.
You may be surprised at how often people ask you to come up with ideas for how to solve a problem.
You might even find yourself asking them questions.
But when you ask a question like, “What would you like to do if you were here right now?” you can make the best decision based on what you already know.
In this video Nick shows me how to ask these questions.
I use this exercise with my own job interview.
I’m a full-time sales executive, and I’m often asked how I can help my customers better.
So this exercise is a great way to ask some of the questions you might find yourself getting.
4.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions.
The first thing that I want to say is that there are people out there who will take advantage of a situation to ask a lot more questions.
This is a huge mistake, especially if you’re just starting out.
It might feel like you’re asking the right questions because they’re asking for a specific answer.
But you’re not really asking a question.
They’re asking, “How do you think this situation is going to play out?”
They’re trying to figure out what you’re thinking.
So don’t be afraid to ask questions.
There’s no reason why you can’t ask a few more.
And don’t get frustrated if you don’t.
Just keep asking.
You’re learning and the person listening will keep you engaged.
5.
Don�t Give up.
There are always going to be moments when you’re going to have to ask someone a question and you’re having a hard time getting an answer.
And you should never give up.
When you’re getting an honest answer from someone, you don�t have to be afraid of answering the question.
You can take a deep breath and look at what you just heard.
Then, just ask again.
If the answer you get is better than what you were expecting, that means that you’re doing something right.
If it doesn’t, you’re still doing something.
When it comes to people who are new to the job, it’s important to remember that you don��t have a 100% guarantee that they will be able to complete the job.
You don�ll know what kind of skills they need until you meet them and talk to them.
So just keep asking, and if you can get a better answer, you can do better.
6.
Have the Right Team.
It�s great to be a part of a team, but it�s even more important to
