JOBSEARCH: Advising a fledgling turkey

FROM A CONVERSATION WITH A NEW TURKEY

(1) Remember they are operating at different speed than you are. Sigh.

(2) They probably haven’t read anything you’ve written, send them, or shared. If they did, they probably didn’t grok it.

(3) Bringing them up to speed is a drag. A heavy lift. A tiring experience. But, you could be creating a new “turkey master”. Patience.

(4) They never know “what they want to be when they grow up”.

(5) They have no concept of “elevator speech”.

(6) They look backward.

(7) They haven’t thought about their tools. Let alone invested in them.

(8) They need a lot of help.

(9) They think outplacement is good.

Patience. Seldom in men; never in women! Patience.

Remember the First Rule Of Being A Turkey Master: “First do no harm.”
