The job description asked for 7 years of experience leading cross-functional teams. You have 9. They wanted someone who's managed budgets. CHECK, YOU HAVE IT. They listed five core competencies. You have ALL 5!
You're qualified. So were the other five people who applied.
Being qualified is the floor. It's not the thing that gets you picked in a crowded market.
What gets you picked is whether they believe you understand what the job actually requires in month three when the team is underwater and the board is asking questions. Whether you framed your last role in a way that makes them think you can do this job, not just the one you had. Whether you showed something on your resume or LinkedIn profile that made them decide you were ready for this level.
Most job search and interview prep focuses on proving you're qualified. You already are. That's why you've accomplished so much in your career.
I hear from at least a dozen people each week asking the same question: what am I missing? They've been searching for months. They're getting interviews. They're not getting offers. And no one will tell them why.
That's why I built the tool at bnedleadership.com. Three free assessments and a customizable plan to help you land the job and thrive in it once you do. The assessments use the same frameworks I've taught in corporate settings for years (L.A.T.T.E., R4, AHA). They show you the part that separates qualified from picked.
It's free. It takes 10 minutes. And it will tell you what you can't see on your own.
Take it today. When you create your account, you'll also get Dear Resilient Leader free on Kindle until midnight: amzn.to/4u50kQ2
Tomorrow I'm sending 15 roles in the $150K+ range.
