Starting a job search without knowing where you're going
is like getting in your car without having a destination.
When you know which direction you're going,
you know which obstacles to move,
how to redirect when you get off the wrong exit,
and how to move forward regardless of what gets in your way.
And when you know what pulls you,
fuels you and feeds you,
you can turn your "wants" and "whys"
into paychecks with a purpose.
Jobs are Found. Careers are Built.
Having spent my career at the intersection of recruiting and education, I see firsthand how small missteps in a job search can have a massive impact on long-term success.
A little strategy goes a long way and when you know which moves to make, you can make them with intention.
When it comes to your career,
don't be a passenger on someone else's joy ride.
Be the driver.
