You Need To Undstand More Fully Who You Are

Job hunting is never easy--at all! I get it, and there are only so many tips and tricks that can help you out when it comes to interviewing. But have you ever thought that maybe we all need to understand ourselves better? By doing this couple of steps as "homework" for yourself, it can make the difference.
  • You learn to describe yourself in at least six different ways, and therefore you can approach multiple job markets
  • You can describe in detail exactly what you are looking for
  • By ending up with a picture of a job that would really excite you, you will inevitably pour much more energy and determination into your job search
  • You will no longer have to wait to approach companies until they say they have a vacancy
  • You can accurately describe to your employers what is unique about you, and what you bring to the table that others do not
  • You will see what new career or direction you want for your life
  • Unemployment is an interruption, in most of our lives. And interruptions are opportunities, to pause, to think, to assess where we really want to go with our lives.

You never know, doing these simple steps can make a difference from the other person interviewing for the same job. Taking a personal step for yourself, and really getting confidence is key when it comes to job hunting and coming down to the face-to-face interview. My personal favorite, is making a chart or worksheet that can help you along the way. It is notes about my favorite knowledge:
  • What you know from your previous job
  • What you know about, outside of work
  • What fields, careers, or industries sound interesting to you
  • Any other hunches, bright ideas, great ideas, etc.
