MURRAY’S PRINCIPLES

Page 29: YOUR SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH, by Tom Murray Exec. Director, Career Transitions Center How to decide –” it used to be either /or, now it’s multiple choice”,

FIRST PRINCIPLE

Everyone can get a job

Even lawyers, maybe…

Especially if we don’t live our sad stories

Page 30: YOUR SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH, by Tom Murray Exec. Director, Career Transitions Center How to decide –” it used to be either /or, now it’s multiple choice”,

SECOND PRINCIPLE

Everyone can look good Grooming and hygiene are a start Clothing that is appropriate and really fits Bearing – project confidence Attitude comes through more clearly than

skills or knowledge Project energy Smile

Page 31: YOUR SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH, by Tom Murray Exec. Director, Career Transitions Center How to decide –” it used to be either /or, now it’s multiple choice”,

THIRD PRINCIPLE

You need definable goals, maybe not job goals but at least life goals

Convey strengths, s sense of direction, self control

Be able to answer – who am I, what are my values, beliefs, interests, etc.

Page 32: YOUR SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH, by Tom Murray Exec. Director, Career Transitions Center How to decide –” it used to be either /or, now it’s multiple choice”,

FOURTH PRINCIPLE

Convey competence “Only postal clerks take jobs, everyone else

creates their own What can you do better than anyone else? What solutions will you bring to the organization? Will you be an asset to the team? How will you demonstrate your achievements?

Page 33: YOUR SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH, by Tom Murray Exec. Director, Career Transitions Center How to decide –” it used to be either /or, now it’s multiple choice”,

FIFTH PRINCIPLE

It is not necessarily the best qualified person who gets the job

It is the person who does the best job of presentation

Presentation includes: workplace skills, occupational competencies, human skills

Page 34: YOUR SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH, by Tom Murray Exec. Director, Career Transitions Center How to decide –” it used to be either /or, now it’s multiple choice”,

SIXTH PRINCIPLE

Getting a job is a full time job It takes networking to meet people who

might lead you to one with authority to hire you

It requires good written presentations Rehearse answers to basic interview

questions Find a confidant who will help you reflect

honestly on your presentation skills

Page 35: YOUR SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH, by Tom Murray Exec. Director, Career Transitions Center How to decide –” it used to be either /or, now it’s multiple choice”,

SEVENTH PRINCIPLE

Maybe you want to start your own business Take courses from Lloyd Shefsky or Steve

Rogers Be in charge of your own work life

Page 36: YOUR SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH, by Tom Murray Exec. Director, Career Transitions Center How to decide –” it used to be either /or, now it’s multiple choice”,

IMAGINING YOURSELF AS A SUCCESS As a successful employee Living a successful life In successful relationships As a contributor to society As a mentor to others
