Some of us here in Australia find ourselves in jobs we only intend to do for only a short time until we find the job that we want to do for the rest of our lives. We have now been stuck in these positions for 5 to 10 years and it is zapping our will to live. It is important to have a job but it is also important to be doing something that you love to do every single day and because the vast majority of us spend half of our lifetimes doing this job, it is so important to be in the right one. If you find yourself at a crossroads in your working career or you are just starting off, the first thing that you need to not do is to settle and try to find a position that is going to put a smile on your face while also putting money in your wallet or purse.
One of the first things that you can do is to reach out to professional employment agencies that already have a list of employers that are looking for people just like you and it is also their job to help you to find what you have always been looking for but were unable to find up until now. This is one way to find the job of your dreams and the following are just some others.
- Get the word out there – As well as using your employment agency, you should let people know that you are available for hire and that includes talking to your many friends, your family members and even the work colleagues in the job that you currently have. It is important however that you don’t let your current boss know that you are searching for a new position. They might be upset and they may call you into the office.
- Update your current resume – You might think that your old resume is fit for purpose but things have moved on since the last time that you applied for a job, so this is something that your employment agency can actually help you with. Nowadays, it’s better to not have a resume that is filled up with details and that is too long. Your resume should only be about 2 pages and it should be a description of your work life until now and your education.
- Change your mindset – It would be perfect if you can find the job of your dreams but in many situations, it may not exist and so you might have to settle for something lesser. Make sure however that you do get a job within the particular sphere that you want to be involved in so that you are doing something every single day that you really want to do.
There is a job that is perfect for you out there right now and all you need to do is to figure out a way to find it.
