Welcome back,
Last week we talked about how you can position yourself when you don’t have any experience in the field that you want to go into. As I was going through the podcast I was thinking about you, the one who has no idea where you want to go, but this job isn’t it!
So, you’re still totally lost and you still don’t know what your dream job is? I’ve got some questions that I’d like you to really think about and work through. Check out the link below to get this free work page!
Let’s dive in, if you’re driving, or working out, or cooking, please be safe, and maybe listen then download the workbook and do these activities.

First things first, Write down the positives and negatives of your current jobs. I like to do this with any big decision that I just cannot decide what I’d like to do. Positives can also be what you like to do in your job. If you don’t have anything in positives, it’s obviously time for a change, I hope you’re working on your resume and organizing your office, so you can run when you get the chance!
After you’ve completed these questions, take time to reflect. This is the time to take your positives and likes about your job and search for those attributes in another career for you to work in. If you’re still 100% lost, I do have a website on the PDF that you can go to. I filled out the whole thing it took about 30 minutes, but it was very accurate and really gave me some information about myself. It gave me attributes that describe me and I can use those attributes to continue to grow myself.
I’m going to start wrapping this up with a quote from one of my favorite books “The most natural thing to do when you get knocked down is to get back up”. Think about this literally, if you get knocked down, you’re not going to stay there forever, you’re going to get back up and brush yourself off. Why do we let so much get to us mentally? Next time your boss isn’t so great at constructive feedback, and you feel knocked down. I would love if you could get back up- mentally, be like Jay-Z and brush your shoulders off. I’m not going to be able to get that out of my head now, so sorry not that sorry lol. (In case you need to now listen to the song.... haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz_-VaTHpc8 )
While you’re on my website, don’t forget about the Career Upgrades course! What is this course I speak about you ask? This course will help you to upgrade your resume, references, cover letter, it helps increase your interview skills, what you should wear in an interview, and even how to follow up. I’m here for you every step of the way because I was once in your shoes, and I hated it. I’m here to help pull you up and out. I’ll help you gain the confidence to do it on your own, because you know you can, and I know you can. You’ve got it deep down inside, you started listening to this podcast, you found me here, or on my website, my blog, you found me for a reason, now let that reason come to fruition and continue on.
Alright, next week's podcast topic: how do you talk about a job that you just left or you’re trying to leave, without it sounding terrible.
Stay tuned and have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Black Friday, and remember to leave the store a little better than when you walked in. Oh P.S. I’ve got a special on my said starting this Wednesday! The deal is a surprise, so go check out the website to see the golden coupon!!
