Next week, I am leading a webinar on Troubleshooting Your Job Search.
This has always been one of my favorite and most rewarding workshops because it focuses on getting people unstuck in their job search. There are only 3 places a job search gets derailed, and when you know which one describes your situation, you are in a much better place to fix it.
One of the key points I make in the webinar is that wherever you fall in the 3 categories of derailment is NOT a reflection of your quality as a candidate. You will likely be in all 3 categories at different points in your career — I certainly have been. Career changers tend to be in bucket 1. Introspective people tend to be in bucket 2. The curious and the versatile tend to fall in bucket 3. There is nothing wrong with changing careers, being introspective or being curious and versatile but your job search strategy and technique has to reflect this.
This brings us to a larger point: your job search must always reflect who you are and your current circumstances. It is not a standalone project where you can change your personality and work style to force fit the search into a neat and orderly pattern. The job search is as dynamic as you are because it reflects how you’re feeling, what you’re thinking, what you want, what you need, and how you and the outside market interact. The job search is as nuanced as you are. Paradigms, like the 3 categories of job search problems covered in Troubleshooting Your Job Search, help give a structure to the ever-changing job search.

The one thing that I learned while job searching is persistence. Always believe that there is something out there for you, because you will find it. Secondly, you can’t be afraid to interview at anywhere, even if it leads to nothing! I learned something at each interview about my responses and what interviewers were looking for.
The company that I took a job with, isn’t necessarily a new company, but they are rebuilding their company, however, I took a huge risk to leave my job in NYC. My lifestyle has drastically changed, I can sleep in past 6am, and be home no later than 6pm. My new job is 3.5 miles from my house! There are endless possibilities for me now, and I can’t wait to experience them all!
Thanks for everything!
