The Venn Diagram

• The Venn diagram has three or four overlapping circles that identify sets of elements.

• Some elements are in all sets, and some are in just one.

• Think about your potential future jobs like these overlapping circles.

Think About Your PotentialFuture Positions

• Are the positions you have chosen very much alike?

• If so, your circles overlap significantly.

• If they do not overlap, then you have a complex process of elimination before you.– You need to identify exactly

what you do not want in a position.

– These roles are ones you can eliminate.




Your Potential Future Positions

• Are all of these ideal for you?

• Do they overlap?

• By how much?

• The less they overlap, the more pruning you have to do to home in on your perfect role.




Pruning Roles

• Determine which of the remaining job characteristics, perhaps the ones that fall into two job types, you can cut from will become your short list.

• You should have a tightly nested or overlapping set of circles representing a very sharply focused set of job titles.

With Your Renewed Focus

• You can now write an executive resume and craft an executive job search that positions you 100% to one target.

• The benefits of this approach are many– You will be able to market

yourself so compellingly for specific job functions in specific industries/company types/geographies, and so on.

– A future hiring leader cannot help but recognize the solution to his problems in your candidacy.
