HOW TO FIND A GOOD JOB

There are three basic questions you need to answer before you really can start your search:

Who are you?

• Your personal attributes
• Your social skills
• Your management profile
   

 

What can you do?

• Functional skills
• Industry experience
• Management experience
• Other assets
   

What do you want?

• Self-fulfillment needs
• Management or specialist career
• Economic considerations
• Location/way to work
• Locally/Travel/International
• Status
   

How to find the job that matches your above determined “Optimal Work Situation”?

• 70-80% of jobs are never advertised, so don’t rely on the ads
• Use your network of friends and tools like www.linkedin.com to get information and leads
• Make sure you are not running away from your current position, but are drawn towards new challanges
• Make a list of your 20 most attractive employers
• Make a list of 10 concrete positions you would like to have (often people dream of positions with combination of pay, location, responsibility, influence and work hours that don’t exist).
• In general, be realistic in your assessment of your own opportunities and add a little self confidence.
