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”.

A Director I worked with recently felt stuck. Her performance reviews were excellent. Her team delivered consistently. Projects ran smoothly. Leadership trusted her with complex work. She was the person people relied on. But when promotion conversations came up, the answer was always the same. “Keep doing what you’re doing.” At first that feedback sounded positive. Then it started to feel confusing. If everything was going well, why wasn’t the next level happening? Many strong professionals...
A Senior Manager told me recently that promotions at her company felt completely unpredictable. One year a peer advanced quickly.Another year someone with similar results was passed over. Sometimes leadership talked about performance.Other times the conversation focused on “leadership presence” or “readiness.” From her perspective, the criteria kept changing. Her question was simple. “How do people actually get promoted around here?” At the Director and VP level, this is one of the most...
A Director told me something interesting recently. “I know a lot of people,” she said. Over the past decade she had worked across several companies. She had led cross-functional projects. She had built relationships with partners, peers, and former colleagues across the industry. Her LinkedIn network was large. Her reputation was strong. And yet when she started thinking about her next career move, she felt like she had very few options. No introductions were coming in. No opportunities were...
