Growing evidence makes it clear that NOW is the time to get a firm grasp on your career directions.

And I can help you do this.

KFYR - TV news reportsn • The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows 8.5 millio
Americans were out of work in May 2008.
• New legislation now extends unemployment benefits from 12-26 weeks to and additional 13 weeks.
• “You could scour the job listing for weeks and still not find the job that’s right for you.”

It is apparent that a need to re-evaluate our career planning is in order, and it’s a good idea to do this before we need it. Most of the time we go about it backwards. Normally we look to see what jobs are available and hope our skills can meet and beat the competition of job seekers. What I’m asking you to do is reverse the order.

Do some soul searching and find out what you have to offer and then go out and find the career that matches your personality.

How?

Ask yourself these seven very important questions
1. Do I have marketable skills which match my interests?
2. What life values are important to me and do they match my employer’s values?
3. Is my travel time excessive to and from work?
4. Do I like the people I work with?
5. Do I work better in groups or alone?
6. If I like my job, can I improve my skills to make me more valuable to my employer?
7. Do I have a career plan?

If you are not yet sure where to start finding a job you will love and you want to make a plan before you need it, ask a career advisor for help. And remember these universally spiritual truths:

  • You have God-given skills, unique to you.
  • Your skills are designed to move you into a satisfying career.
  • There is a purpose to your life and your career is but one way of expressing your purpose.
  • God is on your side and will help you succeed in finding work that you love.

Make a career plan today and start by asking yourself the above questions while remembering your spiritual truths. Then go ask for help.

Are you having a hard time finding your passion? Many of my career coaching clients wrestle with this. It was hard for me too. This month though I discovered a new way for my career coaching clients to find their passion. Although the circumstances are not what I would wish for anyone, everyone has tough times at some time in their lives so this might work for you too. My mother who is 96 came down with bronchitis at the end of September. Two days after the doctor had diagnosed her she got worse so I called an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

Tips for finding a job in 2010 The job market is shaky. Since the recession began in December 2007, the economy has lost approximately 1.4 million jobs. The traditional job search strategy of sending out résumés, attending large job fairs, often ends up going nowhere when there are more than 14 million unemployed individuals and only 2.5 million jobs to fill according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. You may think it’s impossible to find a job in today. Not so! Now is the very best time to move forward with force, while your competition is moving slowly.

When was the last time you asked a client for feedback about your services and how your office staff works as a team? You might turn up some useful information by doing a client feedback session when their work is complete. I recently had an experience with a hospital that is an example of how frustrating a poorly working team can be. I wish they had asked for feedback!
