What"s Your Career Strategy?
As a former employment specialist I found that employment agencies focus on strategies geared toward job placement as opposed to careers.
While counseling job seekers, I conducted several personal interviews with job seekers and found the majority of job seekers were looking for careers, not jobs.
Many were interested in becoming entrepreneurs.
Whether my clients were getting ready to retire, wanting to start a entrepreneurial venture, or having difficulty with job placement because of a criminal background they lacked basic career development strategies.
As result of not having a career strategy I have developed a tool to help job seekers start moving in the right direction.
I use a simple career strategy model to build a foundation for career development to launch your new career.
1.
Vision - Identify what it is you really want to do.
This entails exploring your passion, professional purpose, your strongest skills, writing your vision, and mission statement.
2.
Commitment - Make a commitment to seeing your vision come true.
This entails developing a belief statement that will keep you committed to exploring all the opportunities that are available to you, commit to acquiring the new knowledge needed to succeed at your new career, commit to managing your time, and a commitment to excellence.
3.
Confidence - Building confidence entails developing an understanding of what's holding you back, usually overcoming fear.
Whether it be situational fear, ego driven fear, or self limiting beliefs.
Directing your positive energy at your goals instead of your obstacles, and developing the confidence to access resources you need to achieve your goals.
4.
Planning - Using SMART goals to reach research your field of interest, marketing, niche, and target audience for ultimate results.
5.
Performance - Developing a system to achieve results, implementation of your systems, mining your data, and adapting your system for improvement.
This is the career strategy model I use for my clients.
Give it a shot and see if it works for you.
I would love to hear from you.
If you have any question please email me.
Best wishes, George Hayes
