What’s Your Employment Objective…
…Besides Getting a Job?
The first concrete step in your job-search is deciding what employment you want to pursue now, because what you have done in the past may not be what you want to continue doing.
Beyond the recent profound changes in the availability of many jobs and the attractiveness of certain occupations, you may also have changed in your preferences, circumstances and abilities. So determining your employment objective must be grounded on a rigorous, ruthlessly honest, perceptive and up-to-date self-assessment. An astute self-assessment will help you target the kinds of organizations that would be good places for you to work.
Begin by reassessing your work-related strengths and personal values in light of today's market conditions. Reevaluate your natural talents and acquired skills that would contribute to employment success and consider how they would benefit an employer's operations.
Don’t underestimate the value of volunteer work. Contacts made there can be valuable in your job search and you just may find a position in a new field; an avocation can turn into a vocation.
