Critiquing a Recruitment Ad

When presenting to employers, it is important that you reflect your personal brand. Not logos and images, but who you are. For instance, for me my personal brand is very important to me. When people think of me I want them to think a certain way and know certain things. Part of my brand is professionalism. If I am going into a job interview I am always wearing a suit and tie, freshly shaven and ready with a resume to refer to. Another thing to consider is your strengths. Some of my strengths are public speaking, innovation, and critiquing. Critiquing I know is an odd thing to be known for but it can be very useful. I tend to have a lot of insight and think outside the box. People often go to me for proofreading or for risk management type of things since I tend to be able to find flaws in processes and with policies. I am great at playing devils advocate and this helps me to be useful for making something better.

This could be relayed to an organization through creatives means pretty easily as well. Organizations tend to respond well to helping processes improve and doing it efficiently. This actually happened with the company that I work for now. I offered some feedback to some of the higher ups on how they present information to the district given my coworkers haven’t taken news well from them. The reason being is that the way the company presents changes is that they are hiding something which doesn’t make anyone feel good about the situation. When I talked to my district managers about changing the meetings and when they present, they present everything as a roadmap, they were skeptical. However, I showed them the benefit to being transparent. It leaves no room to interpretation, even if people are upset about the reason for changes, they know what they are getting into and what is going on. The company tried this and It went exactly as I said. People weren’t happy with the choices but were pleasantly surprised with the amount of honesty being shown from corporate. No brainwashing, no tiptoeing around things, just all honesty. We not only saw a decrease in grievances, but we had a better turnover rate to since most people would quit from believing the company was malicious.
