So were zipping through WCIYP and were off to chapter 8. This chapter goes through 5 steps that job-hunters or career changers have found extremely helpful to take. I felt that this chapter was really important and I gathered a lot. First, You need to find out what careers or jobs your flower points to. From last chapter we learned how to create a flower. As strange as that sounds its actually something that shows who you are. It gathers information like your favorite knowledge's and fields of knowledge's, the types of people you enjoy working with, and etc. It brings everything that you want in a job. It really brings you closer to picking the right job for you.
Second, you need to try on careers before you decide which ones to pursue. If you are someone who has worked in retail and all you know is retail and you feel unhappy maybe change it up. Having a career shift could help you decide what you like and what you don't like. You cant just say no to something when you don't know what it entitles. Change could surprise you. Third, You need to find out what kinds of organizations have such jobs. This involves doing some research and seeing whats out there. Fourth, you need to find names of particular places that interest you. You need to jot everything down about different organizations you may hear about it. This is very useful information. There are too many organizations out there but if you can pin point the ones that you hear the best things about then it will decrease your search in half. Next try to be specific on what you are looking for and don't be too broad about your search.
Lastly, You need to learn as much as you can about the place before formally approaching them. If you went to an interview with no research around your belt it wouldn't be the wisest. You need to be prepared, do your research about a company before investing the time into the company. You need to enjoy the career you get into. You need to be happy in what you do so why not get it right now then later on.
