One of the roadblocks in having a successful job search is due to “winging it”. It is crucial to develop a concrete and systematic step by step Strategic Action Plan to get the results you desire in your career transition.
First, you may want to do a S.W.O.T analysis
S – Identify your Strengths, what do you do best, your accomplishments, your successes, your results with specific examples of demonstrating your strengths.
W –Understand your Weakness, what do you need to improve on, what mistakes you have made in the past and what have learned from them, what are you doing about your weakness.
O- What Opportunities are in the labour and hidden job market.
T- What Threats (Roadblocks) are preventing you to progress in your career.
Next Step is to identify your career goal or goals and prioritize into ABC meaning A as your ideal or dream job, B as a job that will be a steppingstone to your ideal job, C as a survival job to pay the bills.
Third step – invest in working with a career coach who is objective and can keep you on track reaching your goals and assist you with your marketing tools and interviewing skills.
