Own your job search journey!
Are you planning to change or looking for a job? Okay, landing a job, whether it’s your first or your next, can feel like navigating a maze of rejections, networking events, and endless applications. I’ve been there. In this post, I’m sharing the real lessons I learned during my job search, creating a Wishlist, trusting your gut, asking for feedback, gaining experience, and mastering the art of networking.
Here are practical tips and motivation to help you own your job search journey!
Let’s get started.
Before you proceed
There are different job paths: Some people secure jobs through connections, while others must put in substantial effort – I relied on applications, networking, and taking risks.
== Then, know this
First Job vs. Second Job: First jobs are hard to find, but second jobs can be equally challenging. It requires critical reflection on skills and career goals.
== Here we go
* Compile a Wishlist: Define your desired job qualities and workplace values and use this Wishlist to evaluate employers during interviews.
* Trust Your Gut: Decline a job offer after realizing it wasn’t the right fit.
* Ask for Feedback: Reach out for feedback after a rejection, it leads to valuable insights. Feedback improves skills and prepares for future opportunities.
* Address Experience Gaps: Identify missing skills and gained experience through freelancing, training, volunteering, etc. Commitment to self-improvement led to better qualifications.
* Network Strategically: Attend events and initiate conversations despite discomfort. Using cold emails to connect with admired professionals, often resulting in valuable discussions and use networking apps.
Note – LinkedIn is not for entertainment if you mean business. Every social site has its own function and objective.
Overall Takeaways:
* Job searching is nuanced and demands resilience, strategic thinking, and self-improvement.
* Networking and feedback are essential tools for growth and securing opportunities.
