Are you among the people whose new year’s resolution is to finally find the job of your dreams? If you are, we have some recommendations for you.
The first step is to be clear and sure that the job you are going after is, in fact, the job of your dreams. Are you really passionate about this? Lots of people pursue jobs that they think will make them money, ending up with either a place to do what they love, nor money. Focus on what you really moves you, then you will be good at it and people will look for your help in that area.
Define what you love to do the most: Your profession might allow you to perform on different areas. However, be sure to choose the specific area that inspires you and start looking for that, and that only. Especially if you are looking to work for a company. If this is the case, write down a list of the companies you’d like to work for and what motivates you to apply over there. Then, look for someone who works or might know some who works over there who can queue you in, if you don’t, find your own way. Call the HR department, visit their website to see where you can apply for a job, look for the people you want in LinkedIn by job title, whatever you can think of… it’s up to you to find the job!
Keep in mind that if you decide to start your quest via internet and apply only for published offers it will be difficult to stand out among all the applicants going after the same jobs, plus these processes take longer times. When applying for a job, try to stand out by doing something others won’t. Research deeper, try harder, call a different number.
Human beings tend to dedicate most of their time to work. It’s hard to face the last years of your life with some remorse from not doing what you wanted to do or made you happier, that’s the reason we need to define our goals.
