Escaping the Boss From Hell: Three Steps to a Better Career
Nearly everyone has suffered this at least once in his career—the boss who makes each workday a living terror. You can find the Boss from Hell in any industry or occupation. Even the best companies slip up from time to time, allowing bullies to rise through the employment food chain to management.
If a national survey were taken to find out the reasons people change jobs, by far the number one reason for job dissatisfaction would be bad management. As a career coach, surprisingly, I’ve found that increased earning potential usually ranks far below the desire to leave a mean, unreasonable boss. If you wake up each day dreading the next eight to ten hours, your problem might be your supervisor.
You’re working for the Boss From Hell if:
- He (or she) bullies you and your coworkers with threats and temper tantrums.
- His unpredictable moods keeps the office environment constantly tense and second-guessing his next move.
- He sets unrealistic and unattainable goals.
- You live in constant fear of being fired.
Fear and intimidation never motivate employees to excel. Tyrannical supervisors create an atmosphere of distrust and isolation. If you work for someone like this, your confidence is probably not what it used to be. In fact, you are probably second-guessing your decisions on the job constantly. As long as you work for management that rules by fear, you’ll never reach your career and earning potential.
There are three steps to escape the Boss From Hell and move on to a happier, healthier work place.
- Gain perspective to think rationally about your career options.
Fear in the workplace tends to leave people thinking they have no better options than to stick it out. Such thinking is a result of loss of confidence and the inability to see beyond the present distress. One way to gain perspective and see new options is to spend some time browsing job postings. The right direction might be within another department or division of your current employer, but away from your current boss. Or it might be somewhere else altogether. If you keep an open mind, you’ll see that there are many options for you outside of your current job.
One way to get the most out of this career reconnaissance is to search for job postings based on skills rather than job titles. Do a job-skills self-analysis to identify the tasks and activities you enjoy performing on your job. Use those skills as your search terms at online job boards. You may be surprised to see that you qualify for positions you had not thought of before.
2. Take inventory of your career accomplishments and contributions.
In order to get moving toward a new position you’ll need to regain your confidence. Think about, and then write down, situations of where you:
- Came up with an idea for saving time
- Helped your team reach a production goal
- Identified cost savings opportunities
- Solved a customer problem leading to increased customer satisfaction
As you think back on your accomplishments, you’ll begin to realize the value you have added to your company. Remember, other employers have similar problems to solve. They are looking for candidates who have experience in handling difficult situations. The more specific the examples of your accomplishments are, the more marketable you will be in the job market.
3. Update your resume.
Once you have your accomplishments listed, use them to update your resume. Think of your resume as your initial marketing tool; it should announce to potential employers your ability to help them reach their bottom-line corporate goals. For example, your resume should appeal to potential employers’ desire to increase efficiency, cut costs and improve productivity. When employers see what you can do for them, they’re sure to be impressed.
Your resume should also have a clear career focus. Updating your resume doesn’t mean simply adding your current work history to your old resume format. Without a careful resume strategy, your resume will begin to resemble an old house with too many tacked on additions. Make sure your resume presents a cohesive, well-thought out, professional front.
Additionally, if your career has taken several interesting turns, you’ll want to adjust your resume toward your current focus. Take the time to refocus your resume on your current job search. Highlight the items from your career that are relevant, and minimize the things that are no longer relevant.
Once you have invested the time to gain perspective on your career options, take inventory of your accomplishments, and update your resume, you’ll be mentally and emotionally ready to seek other employment opportunities, either within or outside your current company. You don’t have to remain in an unhappy job. You do have choices. Take the steps to help yourself—you’ll be glad you did!

Run Your Career as a Business
Regardless of age, regardless of position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You. – Tom Peters
The Mentality: Run Your Career as a Business
On a camping trip in the Rocky Mountains “many years ago”, ETP Network Editor-in-Chief Chip Hartman had the misfortune of stepping into a pool of quicksand along the banks of a slow-moving river. I’ll let Chip tell the story:
“We broke camp around 7 am and headed toward the river. The embankment was so steep we had to run down the path to reach the water’s edge. We thought we were running out onto a wide sandy area along the river bank, but it wasn’t. With the very first step, three of us sank into the muck at least six inches. Every time we tried to remove one leg, the other would sink deeper. In less than a minute, we were almost waist-deep. Then we remembered the advice of a forest ranger only a few days earlier: “If you step into quicksand, you can escape by either lying backward or forward on it. It’s denser than water so you can actually float higher in it than water as long as you’re calm and don’t make any sudden thrashing movements. You can float your way out of it.” But how could we do something so preposterous and illogical? There was no time for debate. We either had to float our way out or risk a horrible death. One by one we tried, very gently. Little by little we paddled out with our arms and reached an area were there was secure footing underneath.”
Pretty frightening, isn’t it? But Chip’s quicksand story provides an interesting insight into paradigms. Many of us were brought up to believe the Hollywood stereotype of quicksand victims thrashing upright in the muck, yelling and screaming as they sank deeper and deeper, gasping for that final breath before slipping under the surface. It was a grim, terrifying way to die — and we all bought it!
Which proves how easy it is to cling to long-held beliefs, especially if they go unchallenged for a long time. And that makes me wonder: How many other beliefs do we hold as absolutes, absolutes that could be easily debunked if a better explanation came along? In Chip's case, the need to quickly change long-held beliefs may have saved his life. What could it do for you?
I’m going to ask you to let go of the belief that so many professionals cling to — “The Employee Mind-Set” if I work hard I will secure my position and everything else will take care of itself — and adopt an entirely new way of thinking about career management.
Let’s get to work.
As the CEO of your career you will:
- Learn to partition your responsibilities to ensure that all critical operations are carried out and none get overlooked. For example, your Research & Development Department will be in charge of networking — making connections, digging up new leads, gathering business information, etc… Right from the start, anything you do that's part of this effort is processed in the R & D “department” of your mind. Likewise, your Sales & Marketing Department will oversee the development of a powerful value proposition until every task is properly niched.
- Take responsibility for making tough decisions — there’s just no way around this. Tough decision-making is a skill with tremendous short and long-term benefits. It trains your mind to weigh options before you commit to a course of action.
- Accept the consequences of your tough decisions — both good and bad. You can savor the good results and analyze why the bad results occurred. Most importantly, don’t waste time beating yourself up when a decision yields poor results. Pick up the pieces and move on. Learn from every aspect of the failure experience because it will move you closer to career success.
- Bring a new level of personal accountability to your career. Why? Because you have a “governing body” to which you now have ultimate responsibility: your Personal Board of Directors (e.g., spouse, family, extended family, significant other, etc…).
Still not convinced you can benefit from thinking like a CEO? Are you saying, "Why bother? This sounds like a whole lot of work for very little benefit."
If that’s how you see it, consider this: Your competition fails to adopt the “I’m in charge” attitude and their race for the finish line becomes a mediocre performance at best. They remain mired in the “employee mind-set”, a part of the Black Hole crowd that inevitably lags behind. And while most of us don't want others to fail, there’s nothing wrong with capitalizing on the inept business decisions of others to gain a tactical advantage whenever possible. In other words, if you are thinking like a business owner and your competitors aren’t, you have a significant edge over them. Do not fail to leverage it!
Will you absorb this paradigm shift overnight? No. In a week? Unlikely. In a month? Maybe. People internalize it at very different rates. Most can tell rather quickly if they are cut out to be the CEO of ME, Inc.
The good news is that this mental model will work if you make it work.
Best wishes and own your career,

Your Job Search Toolkit -- A Resume Template and User's Guide
Author: Susan San Martin
Originally published on: January 17th, 2011 in LA Job Search Examiner
With permission from author
I am an executive recruiter . . . a retained recruiter . . . meaning that companies partner with me to identify and secure talent for key positions within their organizations. My expertise is search within the Communications and Marketing disciplines. Prior to executive search, I spent my career rising through the ranks of various Communications and Marketing roles; this is what I know and it was a very natural segue for me.
My approach to search is very comprehensive. While my priorities are obviously with my clients, I believe in really getting to know candidates for two reasons. First, a deep conversation allows me to assess not only the "technical" fit of the candidate for the hiring organization -- the "can this person do the job" fit -- but it also allows me to measure whether this candidate's own career trajectory is aligned with where my Client sees the role going. I also have the ability to determine whether this person will be the right "fit" for the organization; culture fit can be as, if not more, important than "technical." Second, I enjoy getting to know the broader circle of candidates because I know that if you, Candidate, are not right for a current search, you may be for the next one.
All of these conversations start with resumes . . . my first glimpse into a candidate's professional story. With the process of getting to know you, can come the familiarity that is usually preceded by, "can I say something to you without hurting your feelings?" It's the way you feel when you know you should point out to your beloved uncle that his shirt and tie are so mismatched that to let him go out in public would be devastating. I feel that way about candidates and their resumes, at times. More often than not, I have to tell a candidate that he or she is simply not right for the search. Many of those times have been followed by a "may I make a comment about your resume?" And then I'll share what didn't work for me. Sometimes, it's as simple as a misspelled word or a spacing issue; but frequently, there's something else . . . something that goes deeper than a technical misstep. It's more about the fact that what you've told me, Candidate, is not what your resume is saying. There's a disconnect.
Because reading resumes occupies so much of my time, it is inevitable that certain styles will stand out more than others -- for good or for bad. As I mentioned in "Is Your Resume Guilty of Horror Vacuii," a preferred style started emerging after an exercise where I spread dozens of resumes across a table. I then started pulling out the resumes that caught my eye because they were attractive . . . they stood out because they were inviting. I would then focus on content; it was a case of form over function, at the outset.
When delicately broaching the subject with candidates, I found myself making small suggestions . . . hints about how a few changes to his/her resume could provide a more accurate reflection of who they are as a candidate. In some cases, I rewrote sections . . . in a few instances, I've completely overhauled resumes. The suggestions, though, were always consistent with what I saw in the "survivor" resumes from the Great Table Experiment of '09. Because resume writing is not a service I provide, and the process is so time-consuming, I started pulling those sections together and forming a template that could help those who wanted it. I shared the finished product with several members of the Plan B community who were actively seeking new positions. I wanted to take the template for a test drive and am happy to say that those candidates received very positive feedback about their new resumes.
As I was getting ready to release the template to a broader group, I thought it would be appropriate to provide an accompanying explanation of why I was recommending certain styles or approaches. I soon realized that this would be no small feat . . . that a few paragraphs would not do. Thus, the User's Guide, which contains about 80 pages of resume guidance from my perspective, was born. As I mention, you can ask 100 recruiters or resume writers or career coaches their opinions and get 100 different answers. These are mine based on what resonates best with me.
With the hiring landscape improving, why not improve your opportunity for being noticed by making some changes . . . or completing overhauling your resume? I am attaching the Resume Template and the User's Guide. I'm more than happy to answer questions about either or both, here, or on my company's Facebook page. While future posts to this column will continue to focus on job search and career management issues, I hope you find these tools helpful as you start the New Year with a new perspective on your search efforts.

Career Management Seminar
On October 2nd, the New York Chapter of the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) presented its annual Career Management Conference, formerly called the Pre-Conference. The Pre-Conference or Career Management Conference is a prelude event to NSHMBAs National Conference & Career Expo, which is being held now in Chicago until October 23, 2010.
This year’s Career Management Conference was held at Fordham University, for the second year in a row. Fordham University and the Black and Hispanic MBA Association of Fordham University co-presented this year’s event. This conference aims to provide professionals and students with the necessary tools to tackle the job market with seminars ranging from developing your personal brand and creating your elevator pitch, to how to create the perfect resume. In addition, the event provided the 130 participants with personal coaches to help them with their interviewing skills during the mock interview workshop. New York Chapter Corporate Partners were also invited to participate in the mini career expo, which took place at the Atrium of Fordham University in the Lincoln Center Square.
In addition to the workshops, all of which were taught and presented by volunteer Professionals, there were panel discussions on how to create your personal career path and also on how to navigate the National expo, which consists of about 300 companies eager to hire top Latino talent and about 8,000 talented individuals looking to work for companies who appreciate diversity. Overall, the event was a huge success and New York NSHMBA has an open invitation to return to Fordham University for next year’s conference.
Towards the end of the day, Tatiana Hansell, Senior Brand Marketing-Multicultural, Unilever North America, presented the keynote speech. Ms. Hansell spoke about the issues facing the ever changing multicultural market, as well as the qualifications needed to work for a company like Unilever and even better, what she looks for in the potential employees. This gave the 130 participants and inside view on the mind of a leader, as well as what her organization looks for when hiring new talent.
This day was topped off by the raffling of 3 scholarships of $250 each to attend the National Conference in Chicago. The 3 lucky winners are able to use this money towards their expenses, including hotel, airfare and/or conference registration. We will highlight our winners in a future blog.

How Do Students and Professionals Afford Their MBAs? The National Society of Hispanic MBAs’ Scholarship Program
Since its creation in 1989, NSHMBA’s Scholarship Program has given millions to talented, motivated Hispanics
Dallas, TX (March 10, 2010) ¬– This year marks the organization’s twenty-first year of its Scholarship Program and its support of Hispanics and their educational goals of pursuing and earning their Masters in Business Administration or equivalent degree. The National Society of Hispanic MBA’s Scholarship Program is responsible for ensuring qualified Hispanic graduate students are not burdened by the financial strains of continuing their educations.
The 2010 application period opens March 10 and will end April 30, and financial awards will range from $2,500–$10,000. The awards are a combination of scholarship funds and a $250 travel reimbursements for attending the NSHMBA Annual Conference & Career Expo, with the $10,000 scholarships given to the top five (5) full-time applicants who demonstrate financial need.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic achievement, work experience, financial need, personal statements of goals and aspirations, community service, letters of recommendation, and NSHMBA ambassadorship.
“The last year or two has been very challenging for professionals, but one great thing that has come from the challenge is it has given people the power to really evaluate their career roles and then adjust for the better,” said Steve Ramos, NSHMBA Interim CEO. “What make these ideas a reality are things like the NSHMBA Scholarship Program. With it, people embark on their educational journey with nothing but confidence and support that they will succeed.”
The National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) has paved the way for Hispanics to pursue masters’ degrees in business administration, resulting in millions given to deserving Hispanic students and professionals. In the past 5 years, over $3.75 million in financial assistance has been given to 896 recipients.
NSHMBA, the nation’s most prestigious Hispanic organization promoting higher education, with the generous support of corporate partners, members and universities, will proudly recognize the 2010 recipients during the NSHMBA Annual Conference and Career Expo in Chicago, October 21-23, 2010.

How will you leave your legacy?
People will remember 2009 for many reasons. For the New York Chapter of the National Society of Hispanic MBAs and for Black and Hispanic MBA alumni associations from New York University and Fordham University, 2009 marks the birth of the Alliance Development Committee, which was created to empower our communities.
To fulfill its purpose, the Alliance Development Committee is launching two exciting and important initiatives in 2010: the SAT Test Prep Scholarships (“STEPS”) for high school juniors attending New York City public schools and an MBA Mentoring program for recent graduates. Both ventures share one goal: empowerment of our communities from high school to postgraduate education and beyond.
Alliance’s Purpose
• Create substantive activities – well beyond social interaction – in which MBA alumni of color can engage
• Develop a pipeline of committed alumni dedicated to creating and maintaining connections between more recent and less recent graduates
• Give back to our communities in New York City and its surrounding areas
Alliance’s Objectives
The Alliance’s planned programs have two primary objectives:
• Better prepare our youth for college admission
• Mentor professionals once they are ensconced in the work force
The first objective is addressed through the newly created SAT Test Prep Scholarship (“STEPS”) program. The Wall Street Journal reports that average SAT test scores for African Americans and Hispanics fell across the board in 2009. The Alliance’s delivery partners for this initiative are Learning Leaders, a New York City-based non-profit organization that has trained volunteers to provide individualized instructional and other school-based support for our public school students and their parents for over fifty years and Revolution Prep, a test preparation service founded in 2002, which provides school-based SAT test prep services throughout New York City.
The MBA Mentoring Program is the group’s solution to the second objective, coupling requests for advanced professional development with meaningful community involvement in order to create a structured, cohesive and beneficial enterprise. The MBA Mentoring Program is the first leadership development and mentoring program of its kind available through the three MBA organizations. It pairs select recent and less recent African American and Hispanic MBA graduates from NYU and Fordham Universities and members of the National Society of Hispanic MBAs’ New York chapter.
How You Can Help
The current and ongoing success of these programs is completely dependent upon your support. If you believe in the power of individuals and communities to create and nurture collective excellence, we urge you to join us.
