ARE YOU DOING ENOUGH TO GET YOUR DREAM JOB?

It just occurred to me that you are not doing enough to get your dream job.

Surprise?

Well, let me put it this way.

Story 1: I just had a chat with someone and she says that she has been applying for jobs for months (like I think it's more than 6 months) and she has not even got an interview.

Story 2: I also have spoken to someone who has been applying for jobs and attending interviews but did not get a job for like more than 8 months!!

I definitely sympathize with that as I can imagine the worry and fear that goes thru a person head when they are in such a position.

Back to story 1. I immediately told her that since she has applied for so many jobs and none even called her for an interview, it is obvious that her CV did not pop and we will need to make it pop.

But the thing is this. If you wanted to make your CV pop, you can easily google and check out tons of online resources on how to make it pop and stand out. Could'nt you? But why aren't you doing so?

The bigger question would be once you have make it all pretty and stand out, what next? The actual interview where you will actually have to perform. Stand in front or sit (whatever) and present and be yourself and deliver, answer questions, make the connection etc.

And really when I thought about it. It isn't about the outer processes. Right? I think you agree. Coz I can easily whipped out 10 steps to a successful interview and you can follow the method, memorise and follow the process but question is, would it work for you?

Which is why I certainly would not bother to write out the 10 steps to a great CV or 10 steps to a successful interview because it is so much more than steps and processes and you know it!

It is an internal change that needs to happen.

Look. I have been in situation in my career before where I was panicking that I did not get a job fast enough (and thank God - it lasted a very short time) so I know the feeling.

But to see people not getting a job for months on end and years even. Something deep is going on. A BIG TURNAROUND is needed.

I am all too familiar with the story.

When a person don't get a dream job - the story goes like this:
1. I am too old
2. There are not enough position like these for me to find a job
3. My salary is too high
4. I am not qualified enough (don't have an MBA or whatever)
5. I can't speak Chinese (or whatever language)

Believe me. These are the stories I hear.

But these are just stories. Stories that you have created albeit it seemed very real to you and to you it's REAL. It's REALITY.

I am telling you it's not. Reality is what you create and if these are your stories, then it becomes your reality.

Also, the other interesting fact is people I speak to who thinks that they don't have a particular skill when asked why they did not do something about it, will usually have some excuse or another. Like I tried but it did'nt work etc.

The conclusion is simple. You did not do anything about it because you have not decided to do so. I know it may not seem to you this way at all. You may think that you have tried and you have tried and you really want to do this / get the job / promotion etc.

Get this. WANT TO is different from I DECIDE TO.

You need to dig a little deeper and truly ask yourself. Have you decided and made it non-negotiable? Have you seek out all resources? Have you reached out for help.

Because if you really decide to do something. Really really decide. You will do whatever it takes.

I will end with "Have you decided to reach out for help?" Coz if yes, I can help you.

Look. The decision is truly yours. You can stay in this state and guess what? 6 months down the road, nothing would have changed and you would still be in the same position as were when you read this post.

If you don't make a serious decision to do something about it. Then you will simply stay the same. The same old story. The same old position.

You need to decide to make a change for yourself. Change the story. Make it non negotiable. Bite the bullet and make a decision.
