What is the “”Job Market” and what is the “Right Talent”? Micro markets – Suzhou, China vs. Fargo, N.Dakota; Seoul vs. Changwon Functional versus General Global job market is an illusion (97% of all employees live within 7km of their place of work)

Shaped at any point in time by the availability, skills, ambitions of people In summary: job markets that are not static, not homogenous, not predictable Role Specifications; Person Specifications; Structured Interviews; Behavioural

Event interviews; psychometrics; background checks But….

- Dismissed or passed over in one business, yet successful in another? - Successful under one Boss, but a failure under another?

The independent variable is often “circumstances” and most definitely TIME Finding the “right talent” in your changing “job market” over time is essentially

a blind date

이상한 나라의 앨리스 Alice in Wonderland

Cheshire Puss….would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?‘

히죽히죽 웃는 고양이야, 나에게 말해주렴. 난 여기서 어느 길로 가야 하니? 'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,‘ said the Cat.

‘그건 네가 어디로 가기로 원하는지에 달려있지’ 고양이가 말했습니다. 'I don't much care where --' said Alice.

‘난 상관없어’ 앨리스가 말했습니다. 'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

‘그렇담, 네가 어느 길로 가는지도 상관없어’ 고양이가 말했습니다.

The adaptive journey for the “right talent”

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost

If we start choosing the easy path, then our young ones will try to take only the easy paths. And they will soon become used to it. However, if we swim against waterfalls, Will we not pass on the pain and joy of the moment when we make the jump, To our offspring to be born later on?

Doehyon Ahn

우리가 쉬운 길을 택하기 시작하면 우리의 새끼들도 쉬운 길로만 가려고 할 것이고, 곧 거기에 익숙해지고 말 거야. 그러나 폭포를 뛰어 넘는다면, 그 뛰어넘는 순간의 고통과 환희를 훗날 알을 깨고 나올 우리 새끼들에게 고스란히 넘겨주게 되지 않을까?

Head-set: intellectually understand it

Heart-set: emotionally understand it

Hand-set: know what /how to do it

Stomach-set: have the willingness to do it (“guts”)

Foot-set: consistently “Walk the talk”

What are the possible challenges for Korean talent in the Korea job market?

Hofstede and the Change Aversion puzzle “With a score of 85, South Korea is one of the most uncertainty avoiding countries in the world. Countries exhibiting high uncertainty avoidance maintain rigid codes of belief and behaviour and are intolerant of unorthodoxy. In these cultures there is an emotional need for rules (even if the rules never seem to work), time is money, people have an inner urge to be busy and work hard, precision and punctuality are the norm, innovation may be resisted, security is an important element in individual motivation.” 85점을 기록한 한국은 젂 세계에서 불확실성에 대한 저항이 가장 큰 국가 가운데 하나이다. 불확실성에 대한 저항이 큰 국가들은 신념과 행동에 대한 엄격한 코드를 유지하며, 非 정통적인 행동과 사상에 관용적이지 않다. 이러한 문화권의 사람들은 정서적으로 다음과 같은 원칙을 필요로 한다. (실제로 이러한 원칙이 효과가 있는지와는 관계가 없다) 시간은 돈이며, 사람들은 언제나 바쁘고 열심히 일하고자 하는 내면의 욕구가 있다. 정확성과 시간 엄수는 사회의 규범이며, 혁신은 아마도 저항에 부딪힐 것이고, 미래를 위한 보장이 개인에게 중요한 동기가 된다.
