Have A Sharp Crap Detector
This week on The Job Search Boot Camp Show, we had Dr. Helen Harkness join us. She was amazingly teaching a class, and was gracious enough to include our interview in her class. The knowledge that Dr. Harkness has is amazing, and we could have spent 2 hours with her. One of the things Dr. Harkness talked about (and had us laughing about) is what she calls “The Crap Detector”.
Quoting Hemingway, Dr. Harkness said you better have a “sharp crap detector” by using your intuition. Many of us come to believe these myths that we are told. “You are too old”, “you aren’t smart enough”, “you don’t have the right skills” are many of the myths that we have come to believe. Using a “sharp crap detector” and trusting our intuition is important when working through these types of myths.
The reality is there is a lot of crap out there. A sharp crap detector will make sure you keep moving forward on your career journey.
