| CAREER SUCCESS GUIDE October 2008 | | Dear Jsidufh, Have you taken the time to figure out where you're heading career wise? Sometimes it's helpful to get others to work with you to assess your strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes it's better to do it all by yourself with a blank sheet of paper and pencil. What is important is that you set aside time to fully investigate the direction in which your current career path is heading. Not only does this help you fully crystallize the necessary steps to take to begin to achieve your own personal brand of success, but it will also help you to explain it to others when networking.
Within the structure of my coaching, I refer to what we most want to achieve as our Career Vision. Your Career Vision should provide a clear and vivid picture in your mind. It should not be the attainment of a specific job - -rather, it should be about where you end up, collectively, within the scope of your career. It should provide a picture of your most significant achievements and contributions.
Are you trying to achieve something that's greater than where you believe you could possibly be? Do people doubt you'll ever reach that achievement? If the answer is yes to both questions, then you're on the right path.
5 Steps To Help You Get Organized
You must be organized if you want to achieve your goals. There is simply no other way to put it. Life in the 21st century is incredibly busy, and young women have way too many stimuli waiting to distract them and take them away from their goals. Sometimes it feels like there are not enough hours in the day. The good news is that there are 24 hours in a day, and there will be another day tomorrow. The bad news is that this is not an excuse to waste your time by not knowing what you're doing or where to start.
You can find your own, personal way to organize your day as well as the tasks you set out to do that day. Perhaps you are a morning person and would like to tackle the harder and most important things in the early hours. Maybe you are an afternoon person and your energy levels are up only after 2 p.m. No matter how you choose to organize your life, organized people get things done quicker, better, and with less stress than unorganized ones.
The choices you make on a daily basis greatly affect your productivity and even your opinion of yourself. Keeping all areas of your life organized, knowing what you are doing, and knowing when to do it will give you time to do the things you hate faster and more efficiently so you can spend more time doing the things you love. ________________________________________________________________________

If you're currently devoting 30 minutes a day to searching for a new position, then it's important to evaluate if this daily plan is generating results for you. I recommend increasing the time spent managing job search activities on a day to day basis. So, 30 minutes can be increased to 1 1/2 hours and you should begin to see some qualitative results. Speaking of results, keep in mind that if you don't track the results you achieve from certain activities (how you network, where you send your resume, whom you call, etc.), then you may be spinning wheels unnecessarily. Continuously evaluate the effectiveness of your daily plan so that you can reach a successful outcome.... a new position. Here's one more tip: If you're currently searching for a new position, request an affordable job search & interviewing skills assessment. After a professional review of your resume and job search plans, you will receive a 60+ page booklet filled with recommendations and strategies to help improve your resume, your job interview skills, and your overall success within your personal job search. Rather than spend money for a generic book on this topic, you deserve to receive customized and affordable advice designed to help you find a new opportunity. Best wishes to you and your career success! | | Sincerely, "Career E-Consultant"
