Is your job search approach working for you?
Think about the last time you looked for a job (or you may currently be looking).
How did it make you feel? Empowered, with a sense of control over the process?
Or belittled and questioning your employability?
Now, think about a major purchase you may have made, e.g. a house or a car. Were you clear on what you wanted? Did you bargain for the best possible financial outcome? Did you feel empowered throughout the process and happy with the result?
Hopefully your answer is “Yes!”
Unfortunately, if you asked the same questions about job searching, for many people the answer would be a resounding “No!”
It’s ironic that skilled, experienced individuals can be left feeling unemployable by the traditional process of finding a job.

The traditional approach to finding a job is broken. Recruiters generally act in the interests of employers, not you (the candidate). Letters of application often go unanswered. It is ironic that a skilled, experienced individual can be left feeling unemployable by this process.
But there is an alternative: an approach that will put you in control.
My approach is to understand your strengths; be clear on the problems you want to solve; spread the word through your network; identify people/organisations you’d like to work with; approach them and tell them what problems you can solve for them.
This process will make you feel empowered. It is also highly likely to deliver a dream role that you will find fulfilling: one that plays to your strengths.
My clients take a blended approach: the 80/20 rule for finding the job that’s right for you. 80% of your effort goes on the process that’s focussed on you; 20% goes on the traditional process focussed on the employer.
The first step in this process is to get to know your top 5 strengths inside and out with myDream Role in 30 Days strengths bundle. It's a step by step guide to get to know your strengths.
