In this bonus episode, certified career coach Hallie Crawford reads her contribution to our new book, Land Your Dream Job Anywhere, the complete Mac's List guide to finding work you love.
Hallie urges all job seekers to start their search with some deep personal analysis. This begins by building a "Career Contrast List" to figure out their true career wants. This helps in two ways:
- People realize there may not be as many barriers to their career path as they initially thought.
- It helps job seekers become more rational and practical about what they need to do next.
Next, she has people construct an ideal model for their career. This means:
- Exploring career values and enjoyments of job seekers.
- Confirming (and sometimes attaining) the qualifications needed for the dream job they are considering.
The goal of these exercises are to complete a comprehensive analysis the job seeker can use to take action in their job search.
