Finding a job in this economy is not an easy task. Often people get overwhelmed and stressed because finding a job is a job in itself. All the small details about landing a job are sometimes to much to handle and most people don’t know where to start. I’m going to give you some simple steps that will help guide you in making a decision as to which jobs you should pursue. The first step is to ask yourself “WHY?” What is the reason(s) you are looking for a new job. Is it because you don’t have one? Or maybe you are not satisfied with your current job. If you do not have a “WHY” then you need to get one. Your “WHY” is what drives you on your quest to get a new job and even after you get it. The Second step is to write down a few of your skills that you both enjoy doing and are good at. Finding out what your strengths are will help you think about the job possibilities that will make you stand out above the crowd. For example if you are friendly with strangers and speak well maybe you should concentrate on a customer service type position. If you are creative and artistic maybe think about working as a graphic designer for an advertising company or Yellowbook etc. Writing down what you are good at will help you think about jobs you might excel at.
