¿Qué busques tu nueva asignación?

Algunos trabajadores de GBS, que actualmente no están asignados a un proyecto, han recibido la nota, que adjuntamos más abajo. 
  
En relación con el contenido de la misma queremos compartir con todos vosotros las siguientes reflexiones, dado que en un momento u otro os podéis encontrar en la misma situación: 

       No estamos en absoluto de acuerdo con la afirmación  "Es tu responsabilidad tomar acciones por tu parte para conseguir el objetivo de tener una nueva asignación..."y, en relación a las acciones que se proponen para buscar una asignación en proyectos, recordamos que es un derecho laboral de los trabajadores por cuenta ajena el tener una ocupación efectiva, la cual ha de ser proporcionada por el empresario (artículo 4.2 Estatuto de los trabajadores). 

       No obstante, como trabajadores tendremos que cumplir las órdenes e instrucciones del empresario y colaborar en todo lo que esté en nuestras manos, pero como la organización y asignación del trabajo está en manos de la Dirección de la empresa, entendemos que  no forma parte de nuestra obligación contractual realizar una búsqueda de trabajo dentro de la empresa.   

        Por otro lado y en relación a vacantes en proyectos, es por todos conocido que existen puestos  que podrían estar siendo ocupados por trabajadores de IGS  y, sin embargo, el trabajo lo está desempeñando personal subcontratado, de otras empresas."

Subject:        Bench Diary: busca tu nueva asignación (para el 1 de junio) 

Hola a tod@s, 

Actualmente estas ya disponible para una nueva asignación o lo estarás dentro del los próximos 28 dias. 
Es tu responsabilidad tomar acciones por tu parte para conseguir el objetivo de tener una nueva asignación, aunque como RSP te ayudaré también en esta tarea. 
Para ello, hemos recopilado información útil para ayudarte en tu búsqueda de nuevas oportunidades de asignación. 

Las acciones más inmediatas son  ( hay más detalle más adelante) 
1._ Revisar y actualizar tu CV, incluyendo tu última asignación y la actualización del nivel de inglés y otros idiomas en el CV Wizard https://w3-05.ibm.com/services/bcs/cvwizard/cv-wizard.nsf 

2._ Revisar  tus habilidades (Job Role sobre todo y skills)  en el Access Expertise Assessment System https://w3.ibm.com/services/competencies/profdev/protect/core/PDTool.wss?t=t 
Ten en cuenta que el Job Role es información clave para los OpenSeats que te proponga el sistema como matchings de forma automática 
Si son necesarias modificaciones, solicítaselo a tu People Manager. 

3._ Buscar activamente nuevas posiciones en el IBM Professional MarketPlace (PMP)  http://w3.ibm.com/services/tools/marketplace/displayLogin.wss 

Centra tu busqueda en demandas para fechas próximas y que estén firmadas. 
Nos interesa saber: a qué Open Seat has aplicado, en qué fecha, cuál es la respuesta que ha recibido, si has realizado una entrevista y en caso de rechazo, cuál ha sido ese rechazo. Se entiende que sólo vas a aplicar en aquellos Open Seats que se ajustan a tu perfil y actividades. 

4_ Revisar las oportunidades del Programa Zenith para desarrollar tu carrera profesional para clientes de IBM de forma temporal.. 
Si estas interesado en cualquiera de estas oportunidades, contacta con tu manager o SAT Leader. 

5._ Llevar un registro de tus actividades de búsqueda. Este registro te ayudará también cuando hables conmigo y para facilitar el seguimiento de las oportunidades que te interesen.

> The profile gives the reader the first impression and therefore has 
> to convince them about the value you can add to a project. 
> Make it interesting; very wordy documents with few obvious and 
> tangible skills can be off putting irrespective of whether the 
> skills are further in the detail. 
> Ensure main skills are highlighted. 
> Profile should be a couple of small paragraphs as an overall summaryof skills 
> 
> Career History:  It is a list of employers and roles you had during 
> your career so far. 
> One entry must therefore relate to your current employer: 'IBM'. 
> Ensure there is a good balance between the past and current roles, 
> emphasising areas you want to promote the most. 
> Focus more on the skills you are looking to deploy rather than those
> in the past. 
> Consider summarising descriptions of  roles for previous clients to 
> maybe a short paragraph each using bullet points if required. 
> 
> Assignment History: This section covers your assignments with IBM in
> this section. 
> New Joiner's who are not yet assigned to a project should leave this
> section blank. 
> For each entry - Pointers: 
>   Title each assignment related to the area illustrated, e.g. the 
> industry and your role 
>   Only include specific project / campaigns 
>   Do not assume that the reader will have prior knowledge of areas mentioned 
>   Describe the business objective, problem or what the customer 
> wanted to achieve, put it in context and quantify 
>   Describe the skills you used to address the problem 
>   Make sure each sentence sells you and emphasises the difference 
> you alone made 
>   Describe the key items (eg. results, achievements, benefits) 
> derived from the assignment

> An example of how to search PMP for a role is below: 
> In the 'Find an Open Seat' tab, clear all categories that are 
> already in place.  Add categories as needed by choosing 'More categories'. 
> 
> Categories to choose: 
> 
> Contract Owner 
> - Tells you which part of IBM owns a role.  Our roles will point to 
> GBS AMS/SI,  GBS Core Consulting and SO/AMS. Other areas often need 
> approval both within the owning business and within GBS before 
> commencing a role   
> 
> Contract Owning Country 
> - Tells you which country owns the open seat.  You are predominantly
> interested in UKI. 
> 
> Contract Status 
> - Tells you what open seats are Signed, Unsigned, Funded etc. 
> 
> Contract Type 
> - Tells you if the open seat is for an External Client, a Bid or an 
> Internal Project. 
> 
> Job Role & Skillset 
> - Tells you the type of professional the open seat is looking for, 
> but please remember that as you are highly skilled in many areas its
> worth looking at various Job Role Skillsets (JRSSs). 
> 
> Open Seat Type 
> - Tells you if the request is for 'GR' (Global Resourcing) or 
> 'Regular' resourcing - choose 'Regular'. 
> 
> Requested Band 
> - Tells you the band the open seat is looking for.  If the open seat
> says PRG 7-8 the open seat will appear in both PRG 7 and PRG 8 searches. 
> 
> Starts Within 
> - Tells you when the role is starting and is a very handy search 
> criteria if you are looking at PMP daily.   
> 
> Work location 
> - Tells you where the role is based. 
> 
> Once you have set up your chosen categories, when you click on the 
> various selection criteria you will get a manageable list of open 
> seats to review.   
> You can save this selected criteria by clicking on the Save Search 
> box.  You will be able to name this search and this enables you to 
> have different searches for your different skills.

> You must be the “Professional in focus” to put yourself in play on

> When creating your provisional extensions, please update the Extension field

> 
> My new agreed end date has been confirmed, what do I do now? 
> Once any provisional extensions have been confirmed, you need to go 
> back into your Hours Plan, and change your End Date to reflect this.   
> You also need to check the 'Avail Date' that is stated under the 
> plan too and make sure that is updated if needed. If the End date is

> What happens if I get it wrong or things change?
