Job search got you twisting in the wind?
A customer recently emailed us about his job search success.
"After landing a job in just 2 weeks, I realize now that finding
a job is really a very simple process. You just have to realize
that someone is out there with a job, waiting for you to come
along. All I had to do was to get the two of us together."
Knowing there's a job out there just waiting for you sounds
great. Unless you're TWISTNG IN THE WIND because you can't get
hooked up with the right position.
Maybe you've been fired and you're getting desperate. Maybe
you're jammed up in your current job with no moves left. Or
you've faithfully followed a lot of traditional job search
advice and nothing works.
There are few of us who don't worry about our job. And with good
reason. It provides the fuel that fires what's important to us
in life.
A job is not just "what we do." In many ways it's who we are.
Much of our life is defined by how we make a living.
So when the time comes to make a move, we prefer to do it as
quickly and painlessly as possible. We don't want to be twisting
in the winds for weeks, even months at a time hoping against
hope that the right situation will drop in our laps.
That's the desperate way to look for a job.
Making a career move can and should be a dynamic and
enthusiastic acknowledgement of our ability to grow . . . to be
successful. Most of all it should show us that we can be in
control of our destiny rather than a victim of it. And that
means we can't be a wimp about our job search.
So don't let yourself twist in the wind. Get yourself an
assertive plan of action that guarantees you fast and lucrative
results!
