Your ideas are amazing!
Your ideas are a place where untapped energy and power exist. It is in the middle of in dense area that I call your thoughts – your ideas are lost in a forest of daily activities and bad habits. You must learn to tap into those ideas and writing it down is the first step in making landing your dream job a reality – your reality. Your ideas are powerful and because they come from you they are unique and special. Making it a habit of committing it to paper or your digital notebook is important because it is in this moment that you start your journey towards landing your dream job.
When ideas on finding a job come to mind, writing it down is a delicate step towards committing yourself to act. Personally, I missed on many good ideas on my previous job searches because I never wrote them down.
Yes, ideas will come to you at anywhere at any time. For example, I've had many ideas come to me while asleep. During my day, it feels like I’ve already experienced the present situation, but I can’t put my finger on it. It feels like déjà vu. Every time you let this happen, you are allowing another potential great idea to slip through your fingers. Even if you are asleep, learn to wake yourself from your sleep just long enough to write down your idea on landing your dream job – it’s totally worth it. This idea may just be the one you’ve been waiting for to break through that situation that seems impossible.
On your bedside table, have a piece of paper and a pen handy. Take the cap off the pen or have a sharpened pencil ready - you don't want to be fumbling with your pen while you’re half asleep. During the day, you'll come up with ideas and you’ll want to be ready for those moments. If you’re driving, obviously your current focus is to arrive safely to your destination. You can ask a passenger to send you a text or to send you an email with your ideas.
When I daydream, I'm see myself in that perfect job. I see myself as the most knowledgeable person in my field and people come to me for answers. I see myself providing more value than ever before. I love my job and always give more than what is expected. I see myself growing every day and getting better at what I’m doing. All of this I write down.
You're probably thinking this is a lot to write down on a piece of paper - you're correct so I’m going to recommend now that you get a hard-back notebook. Personally, I have a hard-back notebook that I can keep in my back pocket or in the pocket of my jacket. My notebook and a blue pen go with me everywhere my wallets go. If that isn’t available, I use my memo pad on my mobile phone.
Over the years, I've build up dozens of these pocket notebooks. There are many options and styles. It’s your preference because any will do. I prefer the ones with the lines because I’m left-handed and when I write I tend to drift and my sentences end up crooked. The lines are very helpful. If you're writing in a small notebook, you’ll want to write as neatly as possible because space is at a premium.
I write down my goals today. Tomorrow, I write them down again. I'm checking off the ones that I completed and writing the next ones that need to work on tomorrow. Writing down my goals for finding a job doesn't always come out in the right order – and that's totally ok. When you're done writing down your goals for the day, go back through and prioritize them. On the upper left-hand corner of the goal, write down the number next it by order of importance - labeling the most important goal for the day as number one.
Just as important as writing down your goals, it is just as important to complete the tasks. Remember, you aren't completing the tasks just to complete them. You are completing the task because it is the most efficient and most effective path to getting to your goal.
Remember this: don't mistake movement for progress.
One of my goals is to saturate the market. What does this mean? It means that I’m applying for at least 5 positions a day. Why do I submit 5 applications per day? I always thought to myself that if I could just get myself an interview that I would have a high chance of convincing the hiring manager that I’m the right person. The only problem is that I need to get the interview first. That means, unless you can get someone to look at your application, you’ll need to take steps to increase your chances of getting an interview. How I did that was by getting as many applications out there as possible.
Your thinking that 5 per day is a lot and it is. So, start with what you know - if it’s one a day then do that. Eventually, build it up and target two then three. It seems crazy as I'm writing this, but it works.
Remember: the goal is to land a job. You're not applying just to apply. Your goal is to get a job fast!
In my notebook, I also write down significant changes or milestones in the way my resume looked. As I'm looking at examples online or when I’m talking with people, I may come across a better idea - it's these ideas that I write down. When submitting applications and resumes, I save these versions on my computer organized by year, month and by the job that I applied for. That way I have a collection that I can always reference in the future and the next application I submit won't have to be from scratch.
