Last night I had the privilege of listening to Dick Bolles speak about the difference in doing a basic job search and a sophisticated job search. Dick was speaking to a group at Christ the King parish in Pleasant Hill, CA on the topic, “How to Find Hope and Rewarding Work, Even When There Are No Jobs”, based on his book “The Job Hunter’s Survival Guide.”

Type 9 of the nine Enneagram social styles has an uncomplicated view of life. For the Nine each day is sufficient unto itself. Nines are grounded and peaceful; if a friend is in need the Nine will drop everything and rush to their friend’s side. Often the Nine will neglect their own needs to minister to the needs of others. Procrastination is the biggest weakness for a Nine when conducting a job search.

Type 6 of the nine Enneagram social styles thrives in environments based on security and trust. Sixes are hard workers and can sometime be difficult to identify, because Sixes exhibit so many traits found in other social styles. They often over work, because they are continually striving for order and control in a chaotic world which means endless activity. The main driving force for the Six is fear and to protect themselves they often work for organizations or groups with uniforms, rules, policies, or laws. This is why many Sixes work in the legal profession, police, Military, Fire Departments, Medicine or in Education.

Type 5 of the nine Enneagram social styles, the thinker, gets social energy by thinking things through. When they act on the conviction of their thoughts they can provide vision and leadership which allows the five to persevere when everyone else is uncertain and taciturn. They control their emotions and can come off as intellectually arrogant.

Why do so many of your materials tell people not to start their career planning until they’re “ready”? From a job coaching standpoint, what does “ready” mean?

"The Perfectionist" social style is number "one" of the nine Enneagram styles. The Perfectionist, which I will call "ones", get their energy by doing things right. Ones can be very critical. They have a hard time accepting errors and imperfections. Ones nit-pick details. They have an orientation towards correction. Others working with ones sense judgment and criticism. Ones are not aware of their underlying aggression. Ones can have an irrational striving for order and "doing it right" at the expense of all else. Ones can have a lot of anger.
