7 Steps to Your Next Job
“Good things come to those who wait, but better things come to those who go out and get them” Anonymous.
One goes about getting a more fulfilling job by…
Owning the desire and being committed to making a change. You’ve got to be willing to put in the effort.
Having a clear vision of what you want and what you enjoy doing.
Honestly, assessing your strengths and weaknesses. This will help you identify a position that best fits you.
Formulating a plan of action and working the plan.
Seeking objective feedback from a trusted member of your inner circle. Hardly anyone sees us the same way we see ourselves.
Letting people know what type of employment opportunities you are open to pursuing. Be careful in oversharing if you are currently employed.
Applying the 80/20 rule to deciding to throw your hat into the ring. Be flexible in taking an interview for something that doesn’t align 100% with your ideal job - if the position isn’t “right” there may be another position in the wings and now you’ve gotten in the door.
Throughout the process, keep your eyes and ears open for unpublicized opportunities, you never know where the best lead will come from.
Taking these steps will help you in finding job satisfaction!
