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.
