Managing Up
“Managing Up” is a strategy aimed at strengthening the relationship between employees and supervisors, a key factor in career success and job satisfaction. Research shows that the quality of supervisor relationships greatly impacts workplace happiness. This strategy emphasizes aligning your work with your supervisor’s goals and communication style while taking responsibility for the relationship. By understanding your strengths and weaknesses, setting clear expectations, and improving communication, employees can build trust, foster collaboration, and benefit both themselves and their supervisors.
Ways to Enhance Your Job Search Success
Relying solely on job postings can prolong the job search process and lead to positions that don’t align with your qualifications. To improve your job search results, consider these four strategies:
- Attain Greater Clarity: Define the role, company, and industry you want to target, focusing your search and eliminating inefficiencies.
- Refine Your Resume: Tailor your resume to highlight career achievements and skills that meet an employer’s needs.
- Target Your Search: Research and list companies and industries that align with your goals, tapping into the “hidden job market”—opportunities not publicly posted.
- Expand Your Market: Build and maintain a professional network through ongoing engagement, as networking plays a crucial role in uncovering opportunities and reducing competition.
Kerryn hopes these strategies can help streamline your job search and improve your chances of finding a position that aligns with your goals and skills.
