Finding the job of your dreams.
This article outlines some of the steps you can take to land
your dream job.
In order to target and get your dream job, you need to
understand what the barriers are which prevent you from landing
your dream job. You will then know your enemy, and be able to
wage an effective battle.
You will find that many of the obstacles, which are often very
real and frightening, are in fact imaginary. Yes, there are
valid reasons why we sometimes don't land our dream jobs, but
when you find yourself dismissing an idea out of hand before you
have even tried it out, then stop and ask yourself: is this what
will truly, happen or is it fear talking? And if your obstacle
is real, are you looking for a solution or are you giving up?
Here are a few steps that could help you land your dream job:
Acknowledge your dream
The first step that you need to take is to acknowledge your
dream. You need to say it out loud to yourself what your dream
is, and be willing to take the steps necessary to make the dream
come true.
Gain self-confidence
You need to believe that you are capable to landing your dream
job. If you see yourself as less than you are, and feel unworthy
of landing that dream job, how are you going to convince your
prospective empower to hire you? Your own fears, limitations you
set and mental criticisms may become your biggest obstacle from
achieving your dreams. So, look at yourself more clearly,
acknowledging your strengths. Where you need a skill, take a
course, or slowly do projects which teach you the skills that
you will require to land your dream job.
Invest in your dream job.
Some of the investments that you need to take in order to land
your dream job are:
a)Time - like any campaign, you need to make a plan and allocate
time to implement it. Schedule appointments with yourself and
use the time to clarify what you want to accomplish, how you
plan to accomplish it and to monitor whether you are directing
your energy towards your goal. This is the time to get you
motivated. Read about other people who have made their dreams
come true and learn from them. It's time to remind yourself that
your dreams are possible.
b)Finance - You may need to invest money in a course, or a new
project. Find out how much money is required, and where or what
your source of financing is. Should you need to save, outline
how much you are going to save and over what period of time. You
may want to open a new account, and make arrangements with
your
bank to debit your main account on a monthly basis.
Learn to thrive on change
Change, even positive change, can be very stressful, and
requires us to adapt to new situations. . You may find that
although you dream of landing a dream career, a part of you is
afraid of the changes that will come with that new job. So you
need to learn to adapt to new situations; even thrive on them.
Learn to take a good punch
In your pursuit of career success, you will fail. Regularly. You
will have hundreds of setbacks, disappointments and
difficulties. Some will be minor while others seem
insurmountable.
Mohamed Ali is quoted as having said: 'A champion has to be able
to take a good punch.' That same philosophy can be applied to
life. In order to succeed, you will need the ability to
consistently rebound from setbacks and disappointments. If you
lose a few rounds, or even get knocked down, get up and into the
ring. You will eventually win the fight.
Ask for help
We all need help in order to land our dream jobs. Hopefully,
your family and friends will stand by you while you make your
dream come true. In addition to that, you should network,
speaking with people who have either achieved what you dream to
have, or are on the same path as you. Talk to them, learn from
them and when you need help, don't be afraid to ask.
Get your family to believe in your dream
How willing is your family to adjust in order to help you make
your dream come true? Do they buy into your dream? Has it become
their dream too? Because once they buy in, then they will work
very hard to make sure that it comes true. They will live on
less money; give you some time and maybe even help with the
chores, so that you can achieve your dream. No one guarantees
that they won't grumble!
Other people's expectations
The people around you have a clear picture of who you are, and
when you change, they too, need to adjust to the new you. They
also have their own fears, and those fears affect how well they
cope with the changes in you.
In conclusion, your must realize that whether you see need to
change and initiate it yourself, or life events force it upon
you, you have already taken the first step down this new path of
discovery. Keep moving forward and take joy in each day's small
successes.
