Ask yourself these questions:
If currently employed: Is the job I am doing really making me happy? Am I on
a career path that has a future that I look forward to? Do my abilities exceed
my current employment? Am I unhappy with my job, but afraid because of
the current economy to make a change?
If not currently employed: Is my job search going as well as I would like?
Does it seem like there are no jobs available that really fit my skills?
Are my efforts not getting me the right or enough interviews? Am I getting
the right interviews, but still not getting the job?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, maybe it is time to contact

Find Your Vision | Create A Strategy | Expand Your Career
On the heels of a worldwide recession the job market has become much
more difficult to navigate.
With unemployment reaching it's highest in decades and companies
receiving thousands of applicants for jobs that previously would get them
less than a hundred responses, the method you used as early as 3 years ago
to find a job may not work today.
The action of getting a job requires much more today than just applying on
line and posting your resume on job boards. It requires a good plan. Now
what is the anatomy of a good plan? First it requires a strategy or an
elaborate and systematic plan of action. It also requires tactics or detailed
maneuvers to achieve objectives set by strategy.
A good example of this would be at a sporting event. How often have we
seen a professional sports team though over matched by talent and
experience, loose a game because the other team had applied a strategy
that was perfect for the situation, and then unexpectedly wins.
Often this is called an upset, because no one expected the underdog to win.
The real truth is that the winning team had a better strategy and applied
the right tactics better than their opponent.
How true this is in the job market. I cannot tell you how many times I have
spoken to disappointed job seekers who applied for a job that they thought
they were perfect for but never even got an interview. Or they got an
interview but someone else got the role that they know was less qualified.
How could this happen? What didn’t they do or know that the person who
got the job did?
