How To Land Your Next Job (Step 1 of 4)

There are four simple steps to follow when you’re job seeking,
and virtually everyone who gets hired completes all four steps.

Step #1: Figure Out What Job You Want

This may seem like a no brainer, and in the past I’ve actually
omitted this step and just talked about the next three. And
that’s a mistake! Because...

If all you’re looking for is a job (any job!) it’s kind of like calling
for a pizza delivery and telling the person who answers the
phone that size and toppings are irrelevant. How likely do you
think you are to get that pizza?... (Honestly, you’re probably
more likely to have the pizza place hang up on you.)

So, it’s MUCH easier to get something if you’re clear on what it
is. And simple as this concept may be, not everyone uses it in
their job search. So you can Stand Out if you simply get clear on
the job you’re after – job title, physical location, and possibly
industry as well.

Can’t Figure Out What That Is?

Try this simple trick:

Make a list of skills that you could apply in your next job. Go
ahead, make a big list, considering skills you used in your last jobs,
in volunteer work, or in your personal life.

Next, choose your favorite 3 skills from the list. Enter those skills
into Monster.com (in various combinations) and see what job titles
come up the most. For now, you can ignore the job locations.
Choose from among those the job that’s most compelling to you.

Now you know what job you want. Stay tuned for more on how to
find it (that would be step 2).
