Making Cold-Calling Successful

Image
There are various methods of job-hunting but online job hunting is the current most popular one. However, there is a traditional method of job-hunting that can be quite effective for you if you simply follow the steps outlined in this article. This method is called cold-calling the potential employers. First of all, let’s identify what cold-calling really is. Cold-calling is mostly defined as a telephone call or visit made to someone who is not known or not expecting contact, often in order to sell something. We can safely assume that cold-calling is a proven method of finding employment. Jobs do not come easy and the market is not constantly open, thus you won’t be able to find out about available job openings unless you dig for them. There are some steps or processes which are important when “digging”. There are 4Cs in the cold-calling process... 1st C: Compiling First of all, you need to compile a list of companies that you might be interested in working for. It is good to have a lo

Functional Analysis of Psychological Types

Image
Functional Analysis Carl Jung developed psychological types based on the four functions (Feeling, Thinking, iNtuition and Sensing) and the two attitudes (Extraversion and Introversion). (There is, in my experience, a good deal of confusion, especially among those without some grounding in psychological type, about the nature of these functions and attitudes. The words don't necessarily mean what we expect them to mean, and caution should be used in applying common usage to these terms if this system is to be of value in the understanding of basic temperaments.) In this system there are eight basic types , each designated by its dominant (defining, controlling, pre-eminent) function: Symbol Jungian Type Myers-Briggs Types Fe Extraverted Feeling ESFJ ENFJ Fi Introverted Feeling ISFP INFP Ne Extraverted Intuition ENFP ENTP Ni Introverted Intuition INFJ INTJ Se Extraverted Sensing ESFP ESTP Si Introverted Sensing ISFJ

Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving by Marina Margaret Heiss Profile: ENFP Revision: 3.0 Date of Revision: 25 Feb 2005 [The following comes partially from the archetype, but mostly from my own dealings with ENFPs.] General: ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole. They want to both help (at least, their own definition of "help") and be liked and admired by other people, on bo th an individual and a humanitarian level. They are interested in new ideas on principle, but ultimately discard most of them for one reason or another. Social/Personal Relationships: ENFPs have a great deal of zany charm, which can ingratiate them to the more stodgy types in spite of their unconventionality. They are outgoing, fun, and genuinely like people. As SOs/mates they are warm, affectionate (l ots of PDA), and disconcertingly spontaneous. However, attention span in relatio

Supplement

Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging by Joe Butt Profile: ISTJ Revision: 3.0 Date of Revision: 27 Feb 2005 "It is in keeping with tradition throughout our history that I should express simply and directly the opinions which I hold concerning some of the matters of present importance." --Herbert Hoover, Inaugural Address , Monday, March 4, 1929. ISTJs are often called inspectors. They have a keen sense of right and wrong, especially in their area of interest and/or responsibility. They are noted for devotion to duty. Punctuality is a watchword of the ISTJ. The secretary, clerk, or business(wo)man by whom others set their clocks is likely to be an ISTJ. As do other Introverted Thinkers, ISTJs often give the initial impression of being aloof and perhaps somewhat cold. Effusive expression of emotional warmth is not something that ISTJs do without considerable energy loss. ISTJs are most at home with "just the facts , Ma'am." They seem to perform at

Contrast

Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving by Joe Butt Profile: INFP Revision: 3.0 Date of Revision: 26 Feb 2005 "I remember the first albatross I ever saw. ... At intervals, it arched forth its vast archangel wings, as if to embrace some holy ark. Wondrous flutterings and throbbings shook it. Though bodily unharmed, it uttered cries, as some king's ghost in super natural distress. Through its inexpressible, strange eyes, methought I peeped to secrets not below the heavens. As Abraham before the angels, I bowed myself..." --(Herman Melville, Moby Dick ) INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities. INFP children often exhibit this in a 'Calvin and Hobbes' fashion, switching from reality to fantasy and back again. With few exceptions, it is t

Complement

Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging by Joe Butt Profile: ENFJ Revision: 3.0 Date of Revision: 23 Feb 2005 ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are. ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability. ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are o
