Six Sigma .....for Job Hunting?

Six Sigma has always been advertised as a framework for problem solving. Technically, the job hunting process is a problem in search for a solution.

I believe the first order of things is to rise above the process and view the process from a third party perspective. At that point, it becomes a problem just like any other.

Find the customer for whom you are the solution. (Easier said than done! I say that because that statement comes with a bigger job -- identifying what you are based on what you would like to do or what you would bring to the table.) Next, determine your value add and advertise it. At this point, it comes down to presentation skills. Then, determine a strategy for execution. There are various schools of thought on doing this, many using the same words -- networking. I have my opinions about how this idea is misused, but, that is another issue.

Finally, control -- the nemesis of many an initially successful project. Figure out a way to get to task until that 'happy ending' is achieved. More on this later....
