Is Your Resume Causing a Prolonged Job Search?
Do you have a vision for your career?Most people fresh out of work will dust off their old resume and modify it to include their most recent job experience. They then submit their resume to the postings found on the Internet job sites that match their search criteria.
If you find yourself unemployed, you will probably follow this routine, and then very likely experience a long and frustrating job search. At the end of this exhausting journey, you may well find yourself in a job that doesn’t truly capitalize on your unique gifts or talents, nor compensates you according to your worth.
The job market is especially lean for higher paying positions, yet flooded with good candidates. Your competition is huge and not about to go away. In this climate, mediocrity will not bring you success. You must take a different path. The best place to start is with a vision.
What is your vision?
What is your vision for yourself? Imagine some of the unique and fulfilling qualities your next job can have. What unique gifts and talents can you bring to the table that set you apart from the crowd and make this next job all the more enjoyable?
