Jobs and CareersOverqualified Lowongan Kerja? Tak Masalah
Peristiwa yang satu ini mungkin jarang terjadi; seorang pelamar kerja ditolak lantaran kemampuan yang dimilikinya jauh melebihi apa yang dibutuhkan perusahaan yang membuka lowongan kerja. Kebanyakan perusahaan yang membukan lowongan tenaga kerja, justru sangat senang jika pelamar mempunyai kemampuan lebih dari yang dibutuhkan. Apalagi jika si pelamar bersedia menerima gaji yang sekadarnya.
Tapi, jika salah satu dari Anda termasuk pelamar yang ditolak lantaran overqualified tersebut, sebaiknya tak perlu kecewa, terutama jika memang benar-benar ingin bekerja di perusahaan bersangkutan. Menghadapi pernyataan overqualified tadi, yang biasanya disampaikan pihak perusahaan saat wawancara, sebaiknya tak perlu panik karena itu berarti positif.
Sebaliknya, berusahalah tetap tenang dan bersikap seolah-olah pernyataan pujian itu tak pernah disampaikan. Selanjutnya, perlahan-lahan alihkan wawancara pada bagaimana dengan kemampuan yang dimiliki si pelamar mampu memenuhi lowongan perusahaan. Maksudnya, dengan kemampuan yang dimiliki, si pelamar sesungguhnya mampu memenuhi apa yang dibutuhkan perusahaan sekarang, sekaligus dapat memenuhi apa yang dibutuhkan perusahaan di masa depan pada saat memang benar-benar membutuhkan kemampuan tersebut.
Setelah itu kemungkinan si pelamar tak langsung begitu saja diterima. Dan jika benar memang tak diterima di perusahaan bersangkutan, mungkin ada baiknya menawarkan atau menginformasikan rekan lain untuk mencoba mengajukan lamaran. ***

Menyulut Manajer Pendiam
Di tengah cepat perubahan iklim bisnis seperti sekarang ini, tak pelak setiap anggota manajemen, terutama di level menengah ke atas, bakal sering melakukan pertemuan atau diskusi-diskusi intern. Namun dalam diskusi-diskusi penting seperti itu, seringkali pula dijumpai manajer-manajer yang lebih banyak berdiam diri ketimbang ikut aktif dalam diskusi.
Meski beberapa rekan telah mencoba membawanya larut dalam diskusi tersebut, sang manajer tetap pada sikapnya yang lebih banyak diam. Kalaupun berbicara, maka sangat singkat. Dan jika kebetulan, sebagai manajer, Anda dipercaya menjadi pemimpin diskusi seperti itu, maka cobalah menyulut manajer pendiam tadi dengan beberapa pertanyaan berikut.
- Kebohongan apa yang paling populer dan sering dilakukan seseorang saat bekerja?
- Sebutkan satu atau dua strategi kompetitor yang Anda anggap paling brilliant dan kenapa kita tak memikirkan strategi yang sama?
- Apa alasan yang paling Anda senangi seandainya dipecat atau mendapat promosi?
Mudah-mudahan dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu, manajer pendiam tadi dapat menjadi lebih aktif saat meeting atau diskusi.

Ahead of The Curve To Be On Top
I once heard a statement that no matter how good you think you are, there is always someone else who is better. This appears to be a pessimistic view even to a point of degrading one s self-worth. However, this saying provides a starting point to understanding one s gifts or setbacks, one s strengths or weaknesses in comparison to potential counterparts.
Do you remember in your school band when you were the third chair among all the clarinet players? Do you recall your high school student council campaign? Who was voted in as the president and who were the runner-ups that year? Who was the starting quarterback who was the 2nd string quarterback for the college football team? Who won the role of Juliet and who was her understudy for the community play?
While being first or second was prevalent in school, it is inevitable in a work force setting and even in everyday occurrences. You might have been a candidate for a lucrative job offer, but was disappointed because the job went to someone else. You might have rushed to a music store to buy an artist s greatest hits collection only to find out that someone else bought the last CD five minutes before you came in.
Being first or second may be inescapable, but you can take your placement in life s occurrences as a positive factor to help move you towards the top. Think about these motivating characteristics that can help move leaders ahead of the curve.
Innovation: Many people associate the term innovative with the act of invention, but we think of innovation as looking at opportunities in a new way or thinking out of the box. The fast food industry provides us with an example of one such man. No one will argue that McDonalds Ray Croc was Ahead of the Curve in this industry. McDonalds was not the first hamburger chain in America; other chains can claim that fame. Finding a way to turn burgers and fires into a mass market enterprise set McDonalds Ahead and apart from the other chains in the 1950 s and 1960 s. However, Ray Kroc s innovative foresight was to standardize menus and restaurants and to make the meals affordable that led to the popularity of McDonalds s today. Looking around corners: One of the most celebrated basketball players of all-time was cut from the varsity basketball team when he was just a sophomore. In his book, Can t Accept Not Trying, Michael Jordan, recounts instead of giving up basketball he set achievable goals, working on one after another until he dominated the game. He strategically focused on and worked towards sites Ahead of the Curve to become one of the best basketball players of all time. Plan ahead: When Thomas Edison set about reinventing the incandescent electric light bulb, he proposed to connect his lights in a parallel circuit so that the failure of one light bulb would not cause the whole circuit to fail. Eminent scientists predict that such a circuit would never be feasible. And while at times it seemed that the bulb might never materialize, Edison continued his work on his reverse action generator and the development of electrical wires, still in use today. His planning, work and tenacity placed the first permanent, working commercial central power system in lower Manhattan in September 1882. His sight was always Ahead of the Curve and on the central power system that would light the world.
These are just three of the strategic processes described in Dr. Steven J. Stowell and Stephanie Mead s new book Ahead of the Curve, A Guide to Applied Strategic Thinking and their workshop, Applied Strategic Thinking. The workshop is a practical look at what it means to be strategic and demonstrates a hands-on process in developing workable strategic plans that will take companies into the future.

The Secret to Success
Most people are looking for the secret to success; the secret to being a millionaire; the secret to winning at working. To help them find it, Amazon.com currently inventories 1,797 books promising success secrets, everything from "Mustang Sallies: Success Secrets of Women Who Refuse to Run With the Herd" to "The 21 Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires."
So, if you're one of those looking, I'll save you some time. The bottom line is this - there is no secret. There's no magical formula to follow; no short-cuts to take or lottery tickets you can purchase. People who are winning at working know it takes persistence, determination, commitment, passion, practice, focus and hard work. There are no secrets to any of that. Just look around.
Take Chester Carlson. Chester became a rich man as the successful inventor of an electrostatic paper-copying process that later became the Xerox Corporation, even though twenty corporations rejected his idea. It took Chester seven years of persistence and determination before he found one tiny company willing to purchase his invention. Or take Julia Child. After receiving a contract for a French cookbook, Julia worked five years, with two collaborators, only to produce a manuscript that was rejected by the publisher. A year of revisions produced another rejected manuscript. But Julia refused to give up. It took eight years and a second publisher for Julia's cookbook, which sold more than a million copies, to find a bookshelf.
If you want to be winning at working, stop looking for some secret "out there" to bring you success. Instead, turn your sights inward and you'll find everything you need. You see, you're the secret to your success. But if you think you don't have what it takes, think again. Visit any craft fair, hobbyist, volunteer organization or internet blog. Note poets, musicians, artists, athletes, hackers, spammers and graffiti artists. Determination, persistence, initiative and hard work manifests itself in many ways and places, some positive endeavors and some not so positive. But it's the same ingredients. And they're inside you waiting to be tapped.
People work on novels after a full day's work. They develop products in their garages, then figure out how to manufacture and market them. They volunteer to coach their daughter's soccer team or organize food drives for their community. They put energy into their interests and passions.
They persist against hardships, set-backs and disappointments, demonstrating with their actions they have what it takes. Stop looking for success secrets and start realizing you're the best kept secret you have. Like Moliere puts it, "The heart can do anything." Find your heart in your work and you can do anything, too. ***
