What's the Difference?
An updated, bullet-pointed, article to
a previous post.
As a Career Counselor and Certified
Disability Management Specialist, I am fortunate to have the
opportunity to work with many different people. The people I serve
are of all ages, from teens to retirees. They are of varying
educational and skill levels. Sometimes they have no real
accomplishments on the job, and other times, they are highly regarded
professionals. I have been fortunate to have helped people with
every job title from A (Architect) to Z (Zoo keeper).
It is fascinating that the teen worker
seeking their first fast food job at McDonald's experiences the same
process as the CEO of that same billion dollar company. That process
is:
- Know yourself, skills talents, market value, wants, needs, and desires.
- Decide and commit.
- Gather resources and tools.
- Networking contacts.
- Identify potential employers.
- Research and apply.
- Develop a “Core Message”

- Follow Up.
- Negotiate.
- Begin again.
The point is, no matter if you are a
beginner, or a CEO, there is a processto the job search. Take
consistent, achievable steps, and work toward your goal.
Good luck,
Chris
