Which firms want you?
Proper, within the first article we determined what we needed to do and the place we needed to do it. What now?
You’ve chosen a selected career to earn your day by day bread with. You’ve studied and labored to grow to be no matter you might be. So, make an inventory of the businesses you assume might use your abilities, firms you want to work for. Then begin compile a file of any info you could find concerning the firms in your record.
The place can you discover this info?
– The phone book
– Annual department publications
– Newspapers
– and many others.
Now analyse them, components comparable to:
– Are they profitable?
– Labour issues?
– Location?
And some other components you assume related. Resolve for your self which factors are a very powerful and begin evaluating the record.
What about you?
Now its time for additional self-analysis.
What’s the job you would like now and the place do you wish to be in, say, 5 years? Analyse to carry the particular person “you” into focus. Now mix this with the longer term you want to occur for your self. In planning your future do not forget plans may be revised as typically as you want and as your scenario adjustments.
Questions you may ask your self, for instance:
– What am I good at?
– What am I not good at?
– What do I would like?
– What have I acquired that an organization would possibly want?
– What ought to an organization have that I may have?
– Etcetera.
Brainstorming
I like brainstorming, its enjoyable, or not less than it needs to be enjoyable. Every now and then it provides you an opportunity to assume and say foolish issues; it stimulates your lateral considering and it stimulates creativity. While you’re being artistic don’t forget it’s your future you might be planning.
An expression I invented years in the past when writing about communication involves thoughts:
“Humour is the oxygen of creativity!”
A brainstorm session with out laughter is, in my humble opinion, very boring and doomed to failure.
Dangle some giant items of paper on the wall, e.g. old style flip-over sheets, and write your reactions to the questions and topics and concepts. These will make it easier to get to the focal-point of the job software.
Listed below are a few reactions to the few questions talked about above.
– What am I good at?
Browsing – native champion
Languages – communicate 4
And so on.
– What am I not good at?
Time – retaining – typically late
Administration – lose payments
And so on.
– What do I would like?
An attention-grabbing job – difficult
A Jaguar – my dream car
And so on.
So now you’ve got your self in focus, what’s subsequent?
Your future
Map out one, two, or perhaps extra, profession paths you want to observe. Pepper them with milestones to present your self measurement factors on the way in which.
Ask your self,
– “The place do I begin, what’s the perform and what are the {qualifications} I would like?”
– “The place do I wish to be after so lengthy and what do I would like to attain it?”
THEN THINK!
Right here is an instance of steps which may very well be related.
– Step 1: This yr – Junior Operate – Excessive Faculty Diploma
– Step 2: + one yr – Operate – No additional training
– Step 3: + three years – Senior Operate – Bookkeeping course and tele-marketing.
At all times be life like when making your plans, make sure that the additional training you want is obtainable. Verify the prices and ask your self whether or not you may afford it your self or whether or not your employer have to be prepared to contribute 해외선물.
Emulating Sherlock Holmes
What I actually imply is taking part in the detective. Earlier I touched on this topic and now we’ll dig deeper. The thing of the detecting is to carry your goal firms extra into focus and attempt to discover out:
– when you match,
– the place you match and
– if you wish to match.
The questions.
– What do they need?
– What kind of firm is it?
– Will I slot in?
– and many others.
Once more brainstorming provides solutions.
– What do they need?
This info needs to be out there of their commercial – except you are cold-calling. There will probably be an outline of the job, the calls for of the job and the mandatory {qualifications}. Presumably a sign of the rewards is given. An ideal match shouldn’t be all the time mandatory. It could be, at first look, the job that you really want, so even when you don’t have the precise {qualifications} put it in your record and proceed your detecting.
– What kind of firm is it?
You’ve determined that you simply just like the job and might do it. So now, who’s the employer? Is it a big firm or a small one? Native or multi-national? What’s their product? Are they in an increasing market or one that’s shrinking?
– Will I slot in?
This query could also be troublesome to reply at this level however don’t forget to concentrate on it. Many components may be relevant when this level.
What about your gender? Not all firms give girls the identical possibilities they provide to males. Might such a coverage have an effect on your profession?
Different issues may very well be related, although they shouldn’t be. Your (obvious) origin, your spiritual beliefs and there could even be different components current.
Keep in mind. As I mentioned earlier, job software is a “job” in itself and is difficult work needing a lot of focus.
Within the subsequent articles we’ll deal with speaking all concerning the “you” to your goal firms.
Thanks for studying.
