The Time to Prepare for Your Ideal Career Is Now by James Malinchak
Part 1 of 2
School will be finished sooner than you think and you're going face one of the biggest challenges of your life--the Real World! First, as you prepare to deal with life beyond college, you have to first realize that the Real World does not owe you anything. Too many graduates believe they're entitled to the job of their choice simply because they have finished college. But, the Real World does not operate that way. No company will hand you a career just because you've got a college degree. However, you could better prepare yourself for the job market by following a few easy suggestions.
Identify Your Ideal Career
Before plunging into the competitive job market, first identify your ideal career. You need a clear idea of precisely the career you desire. After all, how can you attain anything if you do not know what it is that you want? Answer the following questions as these questions help you focus on what you want.
1. Which career excites and energizes me?
2. Which career excites and energizes me?
Once you've answered these questions, make a commitment to yourself to go after your ambition. You've got the ability within yourself to go after and land any job you want. Don't listen to anybody who may laugh at you or tell you that it's not possible.
Three Key Principles
Before starting your career pursuit, you have to mentally prepare yourself for the objectives you'll need to set, and the setbacks you might face. You should focus on your objectives and your plan for attaining them. You have to believe nothing will keep you from having your ideal career. Adhering to 3 key principles can be helpful.
Principle No. 1---Overcome Obstacles
When you start your job search, you could face obstructions arising from your age (youth), lack of experience or qualifications. Employers might not take you seriously. Friends might criticize you for trying to go after a particular career. Be aware that these obstructions may appear, but the choice is yours to stop these obstacles from stopping you.
Principle No. 2---Set Goals
Goals serve to help you focus your attention. You will not achieve anything until you have a clear focus. Identifying reachable objectives helps you achieve goals and gives you a motivational spark. Once you have a desire to achieve, your determination to succeed becomes immensely powerful. It is imperative that you set your goals before you begin your job search. Not having goals is like trying to drive a car somewhere you have never visited before without a road map. How can you expect to reach your destination without the proper directions? When it comes to your ideal career, your goals are your road map. Follow this "map," planning your course of action step-by-step.
Principle No. 3---Believe in Yourself
When you start pursuing your ideal career, you might meet people who say you're not qualified or experienced enough. You might meet employers who think you are too young. You may meet people who tell you that you do not have the ability to succeed. If you truly want to go after your ideal career, you should have an unconditional belief in yourself and your abilities. Believing in self is an incomparable experience-your confidence level rises, obstacles vanish, and your dreams become reality.
