I am finally coming out of oblivion. I attending a business marketing conference last week in Delaware with my business coach, Darnyelle Jervey.
Talk about a learning experience! Nothing like getting practical, hands-on tools and strategies to transform your business and your life.
Ideas are great, visions are inspiring, but without goals and a strategy for success, we can all remain in Wonderland.
Are you one of those executives whose idea of a good job search means trying every strategy and tactic available to you?
Are you in a job search and finding that some strategies are just not working?
Has your enthusiasm for finding a new executive search waned over time?
No surprise here. If you did not map out a job search strategy plan, your best intentions can fail you miserably. So what are some things you consider before developing your job search strategy plan?
- What is your job target or ideal new leadership position?
- Are you seeking a career advancement, lateral or bridge job opportunity?
- What kind of companies are you interested in?
- Where do you want to work in terms of geographic location? Would you consider working overseas?
- What is your timeline for landing a new job? Three months? Six months?
- What are your salary and compensation requirements? Can you accept the same or lower salary if needed?
- Can a series of consulting engagements and contracts help you achieve your career goals?
- Are you fully qualified for the positions you are targeting? Do you need a job that will provide you with training?
- Are you being pursued for opportunities that don't match your immediate career and job search goals?
- Have you been a job search for more than six months, but with no real prospects?
Hmm...look at all those questions...and you thought that a good job search just meant that you were sending out resumes everyday. Relax, I have written a lot of this topic and it's time that you paid attention:)
