Indecision is Hurting Your Job Search DCL #71
|
Did you know that indecision is hurting your job search? Let me explain. When you don’t know what you want to do next… Or what role you’d be best suited for… Or how your specific set of skills and experiences will add value.. Or if you want to leave your organization or stay… Everyone can sense your indecision.And, since you aren’t clear, no one will rush to your side to help you achieve your goal. Why? Well, you don’t have any specific goals. All you have is a vague idea that your current career situation isn’t working and you’d like to be doing something else or working somewhere else. This is not a recipe for support. In order for the right opportunity to show up, you have to take the time to learn, ask questions, reflect and get clear on exactly what you want next. This may take some iteration on your part and time before you start a real job search, but it is so worth it. Last week, I guided a client - who works at one of the big name top global tech companies (you probably use their software everyday) - to make an important decision. He decided he wanted to leave and find a new role outside of the org. This was a big decision, precursored by several coaching sessions and networking conversations. Hours after our session, my client texted me with a screenshot of a LinkedIn message. The message was from a hiring manager at a company doing work that my client wanted to get into. The hiring manager wanted to meet my client and talk to him about stepping into a role that was the perfect fit. It’s amazing how the universe aligns as soon as you get clear on what you want. I used to think these types of things were woowoo or just a coincidence, but I’ve seen this happen way too many times to believe that now. Setting an intention creates momentum and then the right people, resources and opportunities will come your way. The key? Take the time to get clear.If you are struggling to gain clarity on what to do next, don’t just “wait to see what happens”.

September is the start of a new season. When we were young it meant the start of a new school year. Now that we’re older it’s the signal that we have four months left in the calendar year. Eek! Someone once said to me that the two most productive days of the year are the day after Labour Day in September and the first Monday after New Years Eve. So let’s capitalize on this season of focus. Here are three ways to increase your focus and help you achieve your goals before the end of the year....
This week I worked with a client who was feeling overwhelmed by his job search. Between sending out hundreds of LinkedIn messages, preparing for interviews and researching for coffee chats, he felt like he was responding to the urgent without being strategic. It was stressing him out. In our session, we worked through the different types of job search strategies… essentially the best ways to land an interview. Then, we discussed which approach to prioritize and why. Here are the options I...
Most people think the best time to engage a career coach is after a layoff or if your job search is going sideways. Those ARE good times to engage a coach to help get you on track (and I’m here for all that!)... But the clients who have experienced a truly holistic transformation don’t work with me out of desperation. They engage me as a coach as an act of foresight. They know a change is coming (or they want a change to happen), and they’re willing to put in the time and effort to invest in...
