For the past two months we have been discussing all the right things that we should do to reach our goal of obtaining our dream job. Everyone can agree that a dream job comes with great pay and benefits, a company that respects its employees and provides training and advancement opportunities, and a company that rewards the personal sacrifices that an individual makes for the company such as changing majors to accommodate the company's needs, move closer to work because of the long hours, and such.
But I also wanted to open my readers' eyes to A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES!
After experiencing the many issues that losing a job brings and applying for jobs that I know that would have allowed me to bring value to the company's that had the positions opened, I realized that there is more out there than the normal "work for someone else". Nowadays, depending on your preparation and entrepreneurship spirit, a world of business opportunities are out there so that you can be you own boss. It is a lot of work and it requires a lot of patience and possibly some investment. But, when to go for it if not now? Don't limit yourself, seek information, research opportunities, increase your social capital, tweet, use LinkedIn, and other networking opportunities that are available for free for you.
DO NOT LIMIT YOURSELF
Sometimes we will experience limitations: financial limitations, market limitations, global economy limitations. But do not limit yourself. Do you need to go back to school? Do you need to go after a licence or certification that will bring your credential to the next level of competitive advantage? Should you consider using your current skills and experience to build your own business? The world of Resumes, Applications, Cover Letters, and Interviews will be there, always!
Think about it, maybe it is time to put to work all those ideas that you have had in the past. I am sure that you have dreamed about having the flexibility to work at home or to be self-employed. I am not saying that you are in the position to do it now, I am just saying that you should consider all your options and that you should not forget that the only perfect boss that you are going to find is yourself. Is it time to try it? Maybe, not; but maybe, just maybe, it is time!
I continue to use Job Crusade to blog ideas and articles, so I hope that you continue to follow and visit from time to time!
