Feedback...develop the mindset of a champion

Guest blog by Adrian Evans

How do you respond when you don’t receive the job offer you want?

I have recently observed the varying interpretation of feedback, by people when they have interviewed for a job.

Some react with:

​“It was a bit of a shock, just how much effort you have to put into the interview process. I was rejected from my ideal role but have now secured a position - not ideal but got a role. I will seek professional career advice when back on the job market.”

Others respond with:

“That was a wakeup call, my ability to be competent at the role is only part way to securing the position. I am not going to compromise, I will improve my interviewing skills and will invest in myself to achieve my ideal role.”

Essentially the first person is saying I won’t invest in myself now, I will take what is given and when another crisis in my career happens I will do something about it.

The second is saying I will improve. They are committed to honing in on their missing skills, a career planning process and have a vision of their ideal role.

Whom from these two people is most likely to have a fulfilling career and be appropriately rewarded for the value they add?
 
There is a business truism that a plan is often useless, but the planning process is vital. Champions in every field share this view - they have a vision for themselves and see daily planning and improvement as vital to their success. They see feedback as a vital part of their refinement and have it for breakfast.
 
​Steps that make the most effective use of feedback: 

  • Determine what skills are holding back your career.
  • Evaluate your skills with an honest audit.
  • Commit to refining your skills - seek out the best source of people to learn from. 
  • Improve your ability to ask - embrace a sense of humility and openness to receive these vital insights.
  • Implement your new insights in the very next relevant conversation.
  • The skills that will lead to your next promotion and higher earnings are likely to be those elusive, yet obvious softer skills. 
  • Switch your mindset to ‘daily career progress’ and not perfection.
