Today marks the beginning of a many posts on building skills needed to be an effective job seeker. I am going to provide you with tools that have worked for me and my customers in the past, of which, I am confident will help you today in a tough job market.
To start, I am going to begin with the basics, a focus on you the job seeker himself, a part from any resume or letter you are planning on writing. It is import for you to identify what is it you want to do. No one can decide that for you. So often, I meet people that tell me, “Keven, I just want a job. I will do anything.” This is the sound of desperation. My response is usually something like, “No, you won’t do just anything.” Immediately, I get a look as if I misheard what he or she told me. If you are desperate for work, you feel as if you will do anything, but often after doing that job for some time, you quickly realize that that job wasn't for you. You will soon tire of that job and will not do yourself or the employer any good. In most cases, the person either leaves the job on their own, or they are fired. That’s not where you want to be, especially if you are trying to build a career for yourself.
Starting tomorrow, we will begin our journey focusing on the initial phases of building a formidable job search. The tools I hope to equip you with will be vital to your career as long as you choose to stay in the workforce. The best of luck to you.
