3 Ways to Find a Job Faster |
Why not handle your work issues in the same way?
1. Begin by asking the correct questions
Questions such as, “Why won’t anyone hire me?” Or how can I network if I don’t know anyone?
Ack. Pass the happy pills.
Instead, start asking questions that will drive and excite you.
Better questions to ask include:
- How might I encourage folks to contact me with employment leads?
- How did my ten closest friends obtain their present jobs? How might I collaborate with them and apply their strategies in my job search?
- What worked for my previous job search? Have you already searched for a job? How could I do it again?
Important: Ask questions that you can answer. Never expect the government, your school, parents, relatives, or anybody else to accomplish this for you. Because when you abdicate responsibility for resolving challenges in your job hunt (or anything else), you become a prisoner of other forces.
When you ask the correct questions, you’re halfway there. Write out at least five empowered questions concerning your job hunt right now.
Then you’re ready for the second step…
2. Generate at least 20 potential replies
Assume you write the following question down on a blank piece of paper:
How might I encourage folks to contact me with employment leads?
Write the number 1 underneath it. Write a plausible response next to the number. Then continue on to numbers 2 and 3. and don’t stop until you’ve received at least 20 responses to your query.
Not 15 or 19, but 20 or more.
There is a reason behind this. Left to its own ways, your brain will pull a Homer Simpson within two minutes and attempt to persuade you to go out for donuts or alcohol. Brains loathe to think. Thinking, like bench pressing, is physically demanding, no matter how beneficial it may be.
But don’t let your head off the hook. Do not stop until you have 20 potential options. Consider brainstorming as if the result might determine your professional path. Because it does.
Now. It’s okay if most of your 20 responses aren’t really excellent. Your best response may come soon after the most bizarre. By pushing yourself to compose 20 replies, you’re cleansing the creative pipelines and delving deep into your subconscious mind to find a winner.
Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!
3. Take action on just one solution today
Let’s assume the most actionable answer is to host a networking event where you can meet friends, relatives, and acquaintances and inform them about your job quest.
Now. What are you supposed to do to make this celebration happen?
Well, you have to prepare the guest list, send out invites, acquire the food, etc. So, put out all of the sub-goals required for the party to be a success. Check off each sub-goal on your list as you fulfill it. Your networking gathering will quickly become a reality.
Then, from your selection of 20, choose the next most promising option and implement it. Repeat until employed.
Here’s why these three phases are effective for issue solving: Clear thought combined with consistent action yields outcomes.
If you’re having trouble finding work, jot out some straightforward, empowered questions about your circumstance. Then, generate at least 20 potential solutions and act on the best one today. When you do, you’ll be a step closer to landing the job you actually want, quicker.
