Creating a Meaningful
Career
Tricks & Principles
By Tristan Senycia
A long time ago in a country far far away…..
• Worked in Perth x2, Sydney x2 & London/Lviv
• Leaving Jobs to pursue start-ups, relationships etc etc
•Lots of chopping and changing
• Cycled through 5 different types of work
• In 2 completely different industries
• Periods of Unemployment
• The highs and lows
• Learned how to pitch myself to employers in a
downturn
What I’ve noticed everywhere else
• From Outside of Ukraine
• Different Mentality/ Mindset
• Different Work Ethic
• Labour Market Maturity
• Design Thinking*
• From a Post-Knowledge Economy*
• Lot of interaction with recruitment organisations and the
recruitment process, human resources management
• Worked for Startups, Small Business & Large Corporations
• Worked as a specialist, generalist/management
• Work for a HR Tech Web Platform
My Experience in Ukraine
•Have lived in Ukraine twice and have a general
understanding of how younger people think
• Not a very corporate culture, even in Kyiv
• Underselling of abilities, particularly soft skills
• Is personal or professional development a focus?
• Few interest groups and networking opportunities
exist
• Few people are active users of LinkedIn
• Mentorship is rare
• Do people undertake career visioning?
Why it could be happening
• Looking for Financial Stability
• Looking for Security
• Disorganised schools and universities
•Grandparents / Parents from Soviet Era
•A generation unprepared for a modern economy
•Not encouraged to think creatively
•Work is a state of mind
•Social Conventions?
• Not a lot of information available about career strategy,
apprentice style
•Risk adversity, i.e. non start-up mentality?
What can be done to change
• Creating a roadmap for your career
• Concept of Career Capital, dig the well first before
you're thirsty
• Becoming interested adjacent areas
• Are there chartered professional programmes?
• How will you differentiate yourself in a competitive
market?
• What will be your Unique Value Proposition?
• Do you need to completely reskill?
Career Visioning
• No linear career paths exist
anymore
• Need to apply design
thinking
•Robustness / adaptability
from meaningful experience
Self-Reflection & Taking Inventory
• Getting out of jobs that inhibit your growth
•But stay in companies if you’re progressing
•Personal Development = Psychological Maturity*
• IQ is a threshold competency
• Increasing your Emotional / Social Intelligence
• Improving your soft skills
• Which are often more transferable
•Be Present, have mental space for growth?
•Keep track of your ideas?
•Reframing Failure as Experimentation
Investing in Yourself
• The diminishing returns
of staying put
• Working on
complementary skills
Focusing on Development
• IQ = information processing speed
• Balance Education & Experience
• Re-apply IQ on the correct materials to
develop EQ through experience
Example
• If you’re doing Science/Engineering switch
to Customer Service/Account Management
for a year or two
•OR Vice Versa
Focusing on Development
Communication Skills, Charisma &
Emotional Intelligence
Skill Set
[Personal] Unique Value
Proposition
Skills Gap
Your Employer or Client
Career Steroids
• Bringing in external information to enrich career
strategy
• High leverage activities to accelerate professional
development
• Leverage not-for-profit, extracurricular opportunity
for experience, more skill-sets & responsibility
• Position yourself for short term wins and victory in
the long term
•Marathon Runner rather than sprinter
• Get super detailed with your short term goals
• But only plan 2 or 3 moves in advance
• Focus on impact
Career Roadmap
Your roadmap will depend on:
•Maturity of the Labour Market
•Stage of your career, manage your pacing
•Mentoring - show initiative before receiving
•Strategic branching into adjacent areas
•Rate of Career Capital Creation (enduring relationships)
•Psychological need to change after 5 years
•Cultural Fit with certain types of organisations
Career Roadmap
Your roadmap will depend on:
• Your future Unique Value Proposition
• The creation an unfair advantage for yourself
• 10000 hours to get to mastery - Talent vs Mastery
• Transportability of your skills / experiences
• Your Personal/Psychological Development
I’m in a Stable Job, what can I do?
1. Master your current role
2. Then consider Intrepreneurship
• Solve important problems
• Process Improvements
• Save Money / Generate new revenue stream
3. Use company resources to fuel professional
development
4. Aim to become indispensable - relationship
building, business development, attract talent,
develop talent OR unique expertise/experience
5. Get ‘equity’ with your boss & your boss’ boss
6.Build Career Capital by networking
Career Hacking
• Follow up with people
• Spending time outside your discipline
• Spending time with successful people
• Adopt an abundance mentality
• Give & Ask for help
• Be open source - transfer knowledge / ideas
• Don’t see the job market as a zero sum game,
colleagues aren’t competitors
•Aim for Win-Win outcomes
• Find a board of mentors
• Hustle – Use new skills to match those demanded by the market
• Observe and learn market dynamics
