If I asked you to describe your ideal car...assuming no limits...how would you describe it? Most people can describe their ideal car in great detail--from the make,model, features, and color, to any accessories to how it would feel to be behind the wheel. When I ask people to describe their ideal job, however, most people are far less clear. They may describe one or two attributes, like how much it pays, and/or the job title. That's it. If you were shopping for your ideal car, it would be easy to find because you could eliminate the thousands of cars that weren't a fit. You would focus exclusively on dealerships that offered the car that 'fit' you. It's the same with finding your ideal job...if you can't describe it, you won't find it. It's as simple as that.
Finding your Ideal Job requires a unique job search strategy. Focus and clarity are the first, and MOST IMPORTANT, pieces of this job search strategy. And, in my 15 years of experience (as an HR Manager, Hiring Manager, and Career Coach), most people get stuck here. The fact is, a clearly focused job search is much more successful than a broad one. Having a clear plan for the job you are after will result in a job weeks to months sooner than casting a 'broad net'.
Yet, many people still fear that by being clear and focused they are excluding themselves from other possibilities. The "but" I hear on a regular basis is "I don't want to limit myself". However, by being general and 'open' you create a problem for hiring managers: They Don't Know What You Want From Them and They Don't Know How They Could Use You!
And, as a result, you create a problem for yourself: you don't get interviews and you don't get hired! As a job seeker, your 'job' is not to 'find work'. Your job is to make it easy for work to find you! The easier you make it for a hiring manager to hire you, the better things will go. It's that simple. Hiring managers are busy. If you make their job easy in the interview process, they'll want you--yesterday!
As I've emphasized, the first step is to get clear. Get clear on what you want, what you won't live with out (non-negotiables), and what you bring to the table. You must also get clear of your self-limiting beliefs, thoughts, and actions. Let's start with 20 questions to get you clear on what your ideal job looks like.
