New Year's Resolutions
in the Job Search
Just Don't Work!
Let me explain about why I think
resolutions to find a new job don't
work. New Year's resolutions are
too ephemeral! They are a signal
that something needs to change within
a person, but the dedication to change
isn't really there. It's a lot of
wishful thinking, isn't it?
How to make a resolution work for you?
Here are my tips.
1. Write them down. Refer to them often.
Make any small changes as you move along.
2. The resolution needs to be realistic.
Concrete resolutions that need action
can't be ignored for long.
3. Make something happen that is on your
resolution list. Take one of the items
on your list and diagram or write what
you must do to make the change. (Calling
on employers could be on the list).
4. Keep moving. Your resolutions need to
be fulfilled. Don't take your own "no"
as the answer. Persevere, start over as
need be.
5. Be successful in achieving a goal.
Are You a "Job Snob?"
I want to define what I think a job snob is. It is someone who thinks thathe/she is indispensable to the business where he/she works. It is someone who thinks that an educational degree gives one more clout in the workplace. A job snob does not socialize with other employees nor participate much in work site politics, except to cultivate those in higher positions.A Career Coach's Mini-Confession
