Although the Canadian market seems to be starting to take a turn, there is still much talk about a struggling economy. Many companies have had difficulties and are working hard to emerge from the recession. The job market is primed for leaders who are ready to position these companies for the next phase in their development.

These days, most companies are in a state of flux. Many organizations are undergoing major transformations in the form of mergers, acquisitions, centralization, decentralization, downsizing, upsizing, restructuring, and so forth. If you are a senior-level job seeker, you can leverage this to your benefit.

Prospective employers are looking for leaders that will build on and improve their organization. In order to address this need effectively, you will need to deliver some stories that outline your ability to plan and lead organizational change initiatives.

In your resume and during the interview, you must highlight how you can institute stability during a state of change, while strengthening financial performance.

Start, by uncovering some examples from your career that directly show how you enabled the company to survive and thrive during change. Then, develop dynamic stories that show how you can do the same kinds of results for your prospective employer.

Practice delivering your organizational change stories with passion and optimism. By effectively articulating your ability to transform a organization and lead it into a strong and healthy future, you will attract and impress employers who are in dire need of these competencies.
