Coach Caroleen
I help women in tech grow their careers by landing better roles using my Career Makeover MBA.
Do you know what your WHY is? If you don’t know your why, then you’ll never make the tough (daily) decisions that make your job search successful. Job searching is hard. It’s a lot of work. When you know your WHY, you’ll be motivated to take the right action quickly.
Job searching is hard work. Job searching is a job in itself. Be kind to yourself and take breaks as needed. Take time to sharpen the saw in your job search too. Don’t expect a dull blade (old resume or old interview techniques) to chop down a new tree (like a new job).
We can learn through reflection.
During our 2020 year of COVID global pandemic and quarantine, have you been fortunate enough to keep your job or even find a better one? If you’re actively job searching, what have you done to improve your job searching skills?
Getting rejected for the job is a painful part of the job search emotional roller coaster. Learn why it’s not worth it to ask for feedback and what you should do next. Remember, that rejection is redirection!
As 2020 comes to a close, everything about this year has been really tough. Are you grateful for the opportunities that cross your desk? Or instead, are you angry that you’re not getting the responses that you feel you deserve and are entitled? Take a step back and think about which word describes you better – grateful or entitled.
Everyone knows that confidence is so important during a job search. Where do you find it? How do you build more confidence during this difficult time?
