Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet with a potential coaching client. We met to discuss what was happening in her job search. My first question helped to determine the direction of our conversation. All I asked is “what is it that you want to do?” My question was an attempt to understand what type of job she was seeking. She has been in the market for a jobs for about 9 months. She has applied to about 100 job and she has had 6 or 7 interviews. That’s less than a 10% hit rate, with no job offers. Her response to my question, “I don’t know.”

The problem as I see it, if you don’t know what you are looking for in your job search, you are wasting your time. If you’re not sure about what career or vocation you want to pursue you can’t begin your job search. Without a clear destination you are driving down a long empty road. How will you know if you’ve actually arrived at your destination? The young lady I was meeting with has been working for many years. She has great administrative skills, but she is not sure if she wants to continue doing administrative work. It is difficult to help anyone who doesn’t have a clear goal.

In the case of this potential coach client, she has applied for jobs with no clear plan or destination. She is looking for a job but how will she know which job to accept if she is not sure what she wants to do. If you are not sure, than all you are waiting for is a job offer. And the job offer can lead you to the wrong company not to mention the wrong job.

The job offer is the goal, but it can’t be the only goal. What about the actual work itself, or the culture and climate of the organization? Those things should be a consideration when you are making a hiring decision.

If you are not clear about what you want to do for work, here are a few things to consider that may help you decide:

1. What do you enjoy doing?

2. What are good at doing?

3. What did you enjoy most in previous jobs?

4. What don’t you enjoy doing?

Start with these questions, and go from there. If you know you prefer working independently in a job, make that a consideration when you are looking for work. If you you prefer working on a team, than make that a key component in your job search. What ever you need, whatever you prefer, whatever you enjoy, ensure you consider what you want and then go for it.

So many of you are out there in the market competing for jobs. Prior to the unemployment rate increasing, HR departments were very good at communicating rejection to job seekers. If you applied, received an interview, typically you received a phone call or letter to let you know the status of your application. Today, not so. Many job seekers interview for a job, and then go home and wait by the phone. Unfortunately, the waiting may seem eternal when you don’t hear back from the organization one way or the other. So my suggestion is to prepare for rejection. It is inevitable if you are seriously pursuing job opportunities. Here are three ways to help you prepare for rejection.

First, as you work your job search strategy, plan for “no”. In a perfect world, you would get a job offer every time you meet with an organization, but that is unrealistic. You are not going to get a job offer every time. So plan for it. Prepare yourself mentally so that you don’t allow discouragement to creep in. Every “no” is an opportunity to make an adjustment and keep moving forward in your search.

Second, keep your pipeline full of potential job opportunities. Don’t allow yourself to put all your hope on one job. If you have an opportunity to interview for a great job that you believe was tailor made for you. Find another one. Give yourself options so that if the opportunity doesn’t work out, you still have other opportunities where you are competing.

My third recommendation for you as you handle rejection in your job search is to learn how to self correct. If you are not getting job offers and no one is willing to give you feedback, than you have to learn how to assess the interviews, get input on your resume/cover letter, make minor or major adjustments and stay in the game. Self correction takes the anger and frustration out of the rejection. Look at your self with an objective eye and ask yourself of you would really hire you based on your responses, your resume, your experience, etc.? If you wouldn’t hire your self than why should anyone else?

Memorial Day is about remembering the veterans who have given their lives for the freedoms we enjoy in the United States. On your worst day, or our worst day in this country, the freedoms we enjoy are unmatched by any other country on the earth. You may be having a bad day or what I call a bad patch, but in the grand scheme of things, you are still alive, you have the opportunity to work through issues on your job or in your job search. What price are you willing to pay to accomplish your goals?

As you remember those who have paid the ultimate price by sacrificing their life for this country. Consider what price are you willing to pay to accomplish your goals? If looking for a job is critical for you right now, consider what else you could do to get the opportunity you are looking for. Most of you have not been asked to pay the ultimate price to find that job you are looking for. Or to be a productive employee who serves in your organization. We all have issues, and stuff happening in our lives. Unemployment, job searches, job interviews, issues on the job, layoffs are all part of life. As you approach your week, consider what else you need to do to move forward in your job search or on your job.

Enjoy your day! Happy Memorial Day!

God asked Moses, “What’s in your hand?” Moses was standing at the Red Sea with an entire nation of people and the enemy was hot on their trail. Your job search may feel like a Red Sea experience. You know you can’t go back in the direction that you came, and yet, there is an ocean in front of you, with no apparent bridge for crossing. Thus the turbulent waters of this economy. I am not God, but I have the same question, “what’s in your hand?”

What is it that you know how to do, that will help you generate an income for you? There are so many ways to go from no income to some income, and from some income to a small business. Now is the time to get creative! What is in your hand? What is it that you can do to generate an income? Angela Myrtetus, founder of Independent Projects, LLC helps those business owners in a jam because they don’t have enough man power to keep up! Her organization helps many business owners catch up on many administrative tasks that they can’t get to. This has allowed her clients to concentrate on improving their business and increase their revenue!

What I like about this, is that she is helping businesses, and generating an income. It is a creative business idea that will explode. She will be successful in her business, in my opinion. Why? Because in her desire to earn a living, she is helping others who are making are trying to make a living. There is so much fear out there with job seekers. Many people are feeling hopeless in the midst of their job search. It is a difficult market, but it is not impossible to make money right now. You may not get anyone else to hire you right now, but why not become the boss? Rather than feeling like you are at the mercy of this economic foolishness, why not take your employment situation into your hands? You may not have strong administrative skills like Angela Myrtetus. But, what is it that you can do? What’s in your hand? Moses had a staff in his hand. That staff was the vehicle used to open up the Red Sea! What’s in your hand that will part the seas you need so that you can move forward into a new season?
