Career Matters





Let's face it the job market has been difficult enough, and now with the economy in the sad shape that it is, the job market has become bleak to say the least. So now you may find yourself in a dilemma such as: your out of work, you need to take on an additional part-time job to make ends meet, you need to work-from-home or perhaps you need a career change and the job market is extremely tough right now. Regardless of what your reason or your needs, there are Seven Keys to follow if obtaining a "Career Matters". Here are the seven keys that you need to know and practice, they are as follows:
  1. Be Proactive - In order to find a job, you must be and remain pro-active in diligently searching for a job. You must search, research, make calls, visit in person, follow-up, as well as keep your knowledge, skills and abilities up-to-date and even take classes if need be. Keep your resume up-to-date, do volunteer work, but do whatever it takes to be and remain pro-active in your job search and while you are without a job.
  2. Be Persistent - While you don't want to be a nuisance or annoy a potential employer, you must show your interest and enthusiasm towards working for them. Call, write, email, visit them and revisit them. Just do it in moderation, keep it simple and always have respect.
  3. Be Determined - You must have an "I CAN DO" attitude. If you want to find a job and succeed, then you must be determined..."NEVER GIVE UP!
  4. Be Career/Job Hunting Savvy - Be savvy...know how to aggressively search for a job, do research, utilize social networks. Here is a link to some of the Top Social Networking Sites
  5. Be Motivated - Motivation is key in your job hunting. Again, keep the "I CAN DO" "NEVER GIVE UP" attitude to get you through. Stay positive!
  6. Be Patient - Patience is a virtue as they say. Being impatient will get you absolutely no where and derail your efforts, so patience is a must while job hunting.
  7. Be Realistic - Realize that as the economy and current job market are in bad shape, you may have to accept a position that's not as lucrative as the one you had before. You may even need to change career paths all together.

Always follow the above keys if your Career really Matters to you. Times are tough, but you can and will get through it by taking one day at a time and following my keys. You may obtain a new job in a month or it could be 6 months, but you will obtain one eventually. And in addition, you may just find a job you enjoy better than the one you had! While I am now not working "out in the world" I still do some part-time work from home by Internet, as well as marketing, promotions and demos part-time, but still, I personally have had times in my own life when I was out of work and on all accounts, I found a new (and usually) a better and/or higher paying job, at least most of the time anyway. And yes, sometimes it was only a matter of a few weeks before I obtained a new job, but most often it took as long as 3-6 months to get another job. For example, it took me six months, but I found a new career working in HUD housing, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and in addition the pay was better than any I had received before. So it just goes to show you, be proactive, persistent, determined, savvy, motivated, patient and realistic, and you CAN obtain another job...just follow my keys!
