I still firmly believe that your network has the answer to this question! Reach out to your friends, family and colleagues to find out what positions are available, or might be coming up or for an introduction to the decision-makers. Your network is your greatest advocate.
What Next?
How do you know what it is that you want next from your career? Are you ready to re-evaluate your career and get back in the driving seat?
As you know I pride myself on helping clients to find the answer to these questions and many more. You are not alone if you don’t know exactly what it is you want to do (let alone find it!)
Here are some of the areas we might cover in a coaching programme to help answer the What Next? question:
- Identifying your strengths so that you can optimise them
- Identifying purposeful and meaningful work
- Knowing the environments where you can thrive
- Working out what values need to be met at work
- Getting a work/life balance that is right for you
- Getting you ready for the next step up!
Job Sites
Once you are clearer on what it is you are looking for, and in addition to harnessing the power of your network, you may want to consider looking at job sites. Here are a few to get you started:
It has been a privilege to coach a number of talented and ambitious employees at Robert Half globally over the last few years and I would always recommend them.
CV’s That Get Seen
Don’t underestimate the power of a fantastic CV. Nowadays they need to work with automated systems and therefore my recommendation is to seek out a professional CV writer. They are affordable and can often work their magic within a couple of days. I can put you in touch with CV writers.
