Three best ways to get a job
Did you encounter an obstacle in your search for a job?
Say, lack of communication on the net?
Or
Do you find it difficult to answer interview questions?
Well, you have a company. In July, job search issues are becoming ubiquitous like mosquitoes.
Have you ever written your problem on a piece of paper?
I bet not.
Because when you write down problems, you immediately take a huge step toward solving them. Think about it: every invention or solution, from the atomic bomb to the Xbox, was first tackled on paper,
Instead,
1) Start by asking questions that motivate and inspire you.
The best questions to ask are:
How can I give a reason for people to contact me for job applications?
- How did my ten closest friends end up in their current positions?
- How can I reason with them and use their methods in the job search?
- What succeeded during my recent job search?
- Have you been looking for work before?
- How can I do that again?
Important: Ask questions that you can solve on your own. Never rely on the government, your school, your parents, your family, or anyone else to do it for you, because once you give up the responsibility to solve problems in your search for a job (or anything else), you become captive to outside forces. However, when you ask the right questions, you are halfway there. So write at least five thought-provoking job search questions right now. So, you're ready for step two...
2) Collect ideas for at least 20 possible answers.
After writing five good questions, circle the question that looks most promising. I will use it to get a faster job. Suppose you write the following question on a blank sheet of paper:
How do I give people a reason to contact me with job offers?
Write a number 1 below and write a possible answer next to that number. Then go to numbers 2, 3. And don't give up until you have at least 20 answers to your query. Not 15 or 19, but 20 or more. There's a reason for that: If left on its own, your mind will pull Homer Simpson after two minutes and try to get you out for a brownie or a beer. Minds hate thinking. Like bench press, thinking is hard work no matter how good it is for you. But don't let your head slip from your hands. Don't stop until you have 20 possible solutions. Think that your career depends on the outcome, why would you do it. Right Now. Most of your 20 answers won't be very good, that's okay. Your best answer may come right after the most reckless one. By forcing yourself to write 20 answers, you are cleaning the creative tubes as you delve deeper into your subconscious mind to find the winner. Do not touch until you try!
3) Work on Today's Solution Choose the most promising solution from your list of 20 answers. So start today to make it happen. No excuses, let's say the most viable solution is a networking night where you can meet friends, family, and acquaintances and tell them about your job search. Right Now. What do you have to do to make this party happen? Well, you have to prepare the guest list, send out invitations, get food, etc., and then jot down all the sub-goals needed to make the party a success. Check each sub-goal on your list as you complete it. Before you know it, your grid night will be a reality. Then, take the next most-promising solution on your 20-person list and make it happen.
Repeat until taken. That's why these three steps work when it comes to troubleshooting. Clear thinking and consistent action are synonymous with results.
