Advising job seekers can be frustrating if sufficient time hasn’t been spent assessing one’s aptitudes. Added to this review is a mandatory study of past successes and failures.
But I like to focus only on successes, because these will be indicative of one’s preferences and predispositions.
It’s bad enough in between jobs, and then to dwell on failures? Better, hit the high points from grade school on, and you’ll get a pretty good picture of your predilections and passions.
Taking this keener understanding of one’s self into account, it’ll be easier to target a new position or career.
And let’s not remain in an aimless mode too long. Don’t wallow in self-pity! Know this, that a hiatus of any kind can cause debilitating rust to form. Each day, it’ll be harder and harder to get going again.
So attack the self-assessment phase with a vengeance, and zero in quickly on a plan. As the saying goes, “if you don’t know where you’re heading, any road will get you there.”
Here’s the progression.
Know your God.
Finding a job these days is next to impossible! Face it. Knowing these odds, go with someone who can do the impossible!
But He said, “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.” Luke 18:27
“Know thyself”…and “to thine own self be true.” Socrates and Polonius in Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
Don’t try to swim against the current!
Know your world
That is to say, is what you’re aiming for a gathering wave, or just foam on the shore?
