When you are on the hunt for a wonderful job, there are steps you can take personally to overcome the lethargy and 'comfort-zone' mentality that bogs people down in work they don't really like.
It's time to grasp the nettle and get on with it and prepare for action.
Here are five starters for you to think about, right away, today! 1.
Ask A Previous Boss Remember that place you worked where there was a great culture and everyone seemed to get on really well.
Only external circumstances took you away.
And you've missed it ever since.
The management team were supportive and encouraging and offered help anytime you needed it.
Well, now is the time to call that bluff and ask.
Yep, that's it, make the call.
Your boss will usually be only to delighted to hear how you are getting on and even more pleased to help.
Pick up the phone, make the call.
You ever know.
2.
Offer Yourself For Free There are often great opportunities to build a resume by working either in a voluntary placement or just offering to work for free in a place where you might really want that dream job.
Making the effort to go out and get new experiences is a tremendous way to ensure that you find out more about what you are really looking for, as well as getting the experience that might help you actually get that job you want too.
3.
Places You Go The world around you is alive with places where you could find the job that you've always been looking for.
Keeping your eyes open and understanding the people who work wherever you might come cross is great learning and, if you engage in conversation, who knows what vacancies might be ready to be filled right now.
4.
Services You Use Sometimes the very job you've wanted for ages is right there, under your nose.
It might be at the doctor's office, where they need someone just like you.
Or a specialist store across the street that needs someone with your expertise - hobby even! It is amazing how often the very services we use; the stores we frequent; and the sous chef at our favorite restaurant is ready to take someone on - and it's just the job you've wanted, so be on the lookout! 5.
It's An Ears Thing! And a big part of finding just what you want is about awareness and great listening skills.
Some might say being nosy or overhearing more tan you should.
Truth is, where a job vacancy is in the offing, not only do you owe it to yourself to do the best for you - but hey, the people who need you, need you to know about it.
Being able to sense what is going on around you is a vital skill.
one that you can practice and nourish.
So make the best of the skills you didn't know you had, and probably didn't realize how useful they could be! Can you do this? Yes, of course you can! When those little gremlins start to question you, make sure you beat them down and say, that indeed, yes, you know you can!
