Job Search For A Job

My professional goals include having my career be something I enjoy doing, of course, and working in something that corresponds to my value.

Setting a goal is the first step to accomplishing it. By envisioning a personal, financial or physical objective, the initial part of a plan is already set in motion. Think of small, everyday aims we set and achieve such as: I’m going to make a lasagna. First comes the idea of a cooking a lasagna, then you find the recipe, buy the ingredients and bake the lasagna. The ways in which you go about achieving bigger goals are no different from smaller achievements, it’s the details which sometimes escape us. Life development coaching can help you bridge the gap between an idea and reaching a goal in three main ways:

1. Describe one short-term goal that you have and at least one thing you will need to do in order to accomplish that goal. (2-4 sentences. 1.0 points)

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

For this section I will present two short-term SMART goals that will help me to improve

When recruiting and reviewing present employees personal skills, employees need to have strong communication skills. This would be needed for any job as they need to be able to understand other colleagues and customers/public.

When faced with having to find a job and then securing a job, the job interview has to be a home run! Simply submitting a professional resume and completing an application is not enough. You cannot settle for being average. You can wait for the next job opportunity, but there are no guarantees there will be one. In Piotrowski’s article, “Preparing for the Job Interview: Know Thyself,” she identifies the process of a job interview (Wyrick, 2014). The steps Piotrowski identified in her article are included below. The steps below focus on identifying job openings, researching companies, preparing for the interview: the pre-interview, the job interview, and the post-interview summary.

Please describe your short-term and long long-term personal and education/career goals. What has helped to shape your goals? What specific steps will you take to reach your personal, education, and career goals? (No more than 300 words)

Directions: Now it’s your turn. Write a short term and a long-term goal, using the SMART criteria. Use the worksheet to guide you in writing well-defined goals using the SMART criteria and record your final goals here. Then evaluate your personal goals using the checklist provided. After using the checklist, modify your goals if needed. Each well-defined goal will be worth 6 points. (12 points total)

Play on your strengths and translatable skills to show how you could be a potential asset to the company and the job you are interviewing for. Show the interviewer you are ready and willing to try your very best at the job at hand. Always keep your answers short, simple and honest, because making them long, confusing and made up is the worst thing you can do if the interviewer catches you in a lie with specific questions regarding your answer. Don’t try to be over smart, instead present yourself as a confident, sensible, and hard working. Don’t ever use slang words, clichés or criticize a former employer or employees during the interview, because this shows that you could be doing the same thing to them if you don’t get the job or after you might leave the job later. This shows that they can trust you to keep business details within the company, and not outside of it that can give the company a bad name. Posture and having a sense of humor and a smile on your face are good to have during the interview process because it shows that you are ready and happy for the opportunity, and enjoy the company. It is good to have your cheat sheet ready for specific STAR questions that could be asked, and at a glance you can bring up past experiences that can be used rather than trying to figure out an experience or don’t have one at all and unable to answer the question. It’s good to try not to sound like you rehearsed

We all need goals to be successful in life. Those who wander around without goals have no direction. Our subconscious mind needs direction in order to get what we want. I often see Advisors with big goals, but no smaller goals designed to lead up to the bigger goals. This exercise is designed to get you thinking about the smaller goals and actions needed in order to build your practice.

My short-term (within 5 years) goal is to become Country-Head / CEO of Morningstar’s international business unit in Asia or Latin America, and build it into a profitable and sustainable organization. My long-term (within 10 years) goal is to become a CEO of Morningstar’s international business globally. Personally, I am passionate about teaching, acting, adventure sports and fitness. My personal goals are to run a marathon and to set-up a nonprofit organization in the field of education.

When applying for a job, he feels that one should not only hope of getting the job, but should also ask him/herself if this is what they really want to do. They should also consider talking to people who are already working in similar positions to know more about a typical job day. Also, one should consider tailoring his/her resume to the qualifications/specifications provided for the job description and not just submit a generalized resume. Finally, a candidate should not be afraid of applying for a job even if he thinks that he is inexperienced.

Proving your skills shows the interviewer that you are competent and suitable for the job.

It sounds so simple but First and foremost, you should know what the company looks for in a qualified candidate. This enables you to position yourself as the best candidate for the position.
