How to Attract Your Dream Job

11/28/2019

1 Comment

 
You are one of the 50% who hates their job and career.   You want a new one, one that leaves you feeling happy, fulfilled and successful.  But you also don’t have all that much time to devote to looking for something new.  You want to try and attract your dream job, have it come find you instead of you finding it!
​
When I approach most things in the career space, I like to look at the mindset and the nitty gritty as I believe that both are VITAL in our ability to be successful, especially if you want to get your dream job coming to you.
Picture
YOUR MINDSET:

1. Law of Attraction

If you hate your job right now then you are probably not in the best mindset.  That hatred has seeped into your positive thinking.  Like Attracts Like is a saying that is true and so if you want your dream job to find you then you need to be a state that is more positive.  Try reading my article, on loving the job you hate to get you in that mindset.

2. Know What You Want

You need to be clear about what you want.  Answers don’t just appear out of thin air.  You must gain clarity by doing some introspection and self discovery exercises .

Do the work, gain clarity and define your focus.  

3. Put It Out There

You know what you want, now the world needs to know.  Let people know what your dream career is, create a vision board and set a goal.  Perhaps doing some “Law of Attraction” meditations.  Let the universe know.

Sounds weird, but I’ve seen it work!

THE NITTY GRITTY

1. Get Clear On What THEY Want

You know what you want, so it’s time to do some research to find out what they want.  Take a look at some job postings and find people on LinkedIn in similar jobs.

What are the things that they are looking for, what are the backgrounds of the people in those jobs?

2. Show Them What They Want

Start highlighting some keywords, what are the words and phrases that you see used over and over again in those postings and profiles.  Get them in your resume.  But more important, update your LinkedIn so that you can try to attract them to your profile. 

3. Be Top of Mind

LinkedIn has a new algorithm, similar to Facebook.  Which means lots of things, but for the sake of attracting people to you, it means that it favours you when you are more active on their platform.

So the first thing to do is simply log in every day.  Then scroll your feed and post content/status updates, share articles, comment, and like relevant content.  Begin engaging with your network.

The great thing is that not only does this help with your visibility on LinkedIn but it also makes sure that the people in your network are seeing your engagement.  Recency Bias is a thing, by keeping yourself top of mind you are increasing the likelihood of that dream job finding you.

4. Engage Advocates

Find your people in your network that can help you and reach out to them.  My favourite is personalized emails, let them know what you are doing and suggest a meeting.  In that meeting ask for advice, networking contacts, and job opportunities.  After that meeting, they will be out their advocating for you on your behalf.
 
7 things.  That’s it.  Get started today and let me know how your dream job finds you!

Myers-Briggs Breakdown

11/15/2019

0 Comments

 
As an INFJ, I love the MBTI.  I have all my clients do it and often they ask me about what those letters actually mean!

So that's what I do today, break them all down:
1. Extroversion or Introversion 
OR where you get your energy from.

2. Sensing or Intution
OR how you take in information

3. Thinking of Feeling
OR how you make decisions.

4. Judging or Perceiving
OR how you approach life (spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with the names!)

​What is your 4 letter combination, what's your type?
