What will you do different in 2012?
If you have been job searching for a several months or more the question – “What will you do different in 2012?” As well as the answer is critical to your job search and your career success. If your results are not where you want them to be, ask yourself “What will I do different in 2012?”
If your job search results are – interviews and no offers, coming in second time and time again, or no interviews, or no conversations with potential employers and this continues – where will you be at the end of 2012. Well the odds are the same place you are today!
If you continue to do the same things the odds are great that you will get the same results, and be in the same place at the end of 2012 as you were at the end of 2011. Also believe it or not, or like it or not, the longer you are not working – yes, unemployed – the higher the odds are you will impact your long term earnings potential. Let’s face it; the odds are also higher that you are building some habits that may impact your performance for years to come.
Over the years, I have worked with and learned from many talented coaches, mentors, bosses and colleagues. I am not 100% sure Doug Brown was the first to ask me a couple of powerful questions that made a huge difference in my habits, my life, my business, and my career, but I believe it was Doug – Thanks Doug!
Here are the powerful questions:
What is important to you?
What is REALLY important to you?
If < fill in the blank with what is REALLY important to you > is that important to you, what are you willing to different today to have it or achieve it?
I hope the questions and your answers help your search and your life as much as they have helped me. Here’s to your very successful 2012!
