Are you an Entrepreneur or an Employee?
The current professional career search $60,000 + marketplace belongs almost exclusively to those whose instincts and professional career search behaviour are Entrepreneurial.
Why?
- Of the 1000's of resumes received online by Human Resource departments and corporate recruiters for any given prime long term 'Career' opportunity 2% - 4% + - get through to senior Decision Makers.
- The remaining 96% - 98% of online resumes are screened out by software programmed to allow through only those resumes which contain the appropriate 'keywords' taken from the 'job' description.
- There is a definitive recruiting distinction between candidates who seek a 'job' and those who seek a professional longterm 'career' opportunity.
- The 96 - 98% of the hopeful candidates whose resume submissions are screened out never learn why. The Standard Operating response Practice of HR departments and Executive Recruiters is based upon providing replies only to those candidates whose resumes were not screened out and who are being considered for an initial interview.
It begs the question as to why anyone would continue to submit resumes on a 'random' basis i.e. the assumption that "I think my resume is a 'good fit' so I'll send it off" - given a 2 - 4% probability of success rate. The probability of success is comparable to that in a lottery.
Of the 2 - 4% who are given an opportunity to meet a decision maker only those whose instincts are Entrepreneurial will have a genuine opportunity to succeed in making their case in a face to face meeting with a Decision Maker.

Beyond Risk - Lifetime Financial Dignity

Our cultural environment in North America is: Get an education - get a good job - do your best as an employee - enjoy your pension.
Nowhere is there an emphasis on either financial literacy or entrepreneurship in our primary school education system.
That is the genesis of the 1% - 99% split we see in financial wealth.
The politicians have nothing to do with this issue. They simply reflect it in the same way as anyone else e.g. Obama - Romney.
