The Daily Wake Up Micro Podcast
Business:Entrepreneurship
Sometimes we are in positions that we aren't satisfied with. I was speaking with a friend the other day who is having trouble finding the next opportunity in their professional development.
Recruiters are trained to get you excited about an opportunity that you may never get. Sometimes we can get discouraged when we have so many interviews and none pan out.
I asked my friend of all the jobs applied or interviewed for, how many did they think would be a great fit for them.
"Four" was the response.
"Of the four," I asked, "which ones did you really, really want?"
"One."
There is a big difference not getting the job you want on one interview than not getting the jobs of many interviews.
When looking for a new opportunity, be a little selfish in knowing what you want. It's like going to a restaurant. How specific are you in knowing what you want for your meal?
Be specific in knowing what YOU want in your next opportunity and be honest with yourself in your assessment. Once you know what you truly want, your search will be much easier and you can transfer a feeling of confidence when interviewing.
