Miller suggests that once job seekers know who they are, they need to know how to sell themselves. In the job market, you are a product. And just like a product, you most know the features and benefits that you have to offer a potential client, or employer. Examine the skills and knowledge that you have identify how they can apply to your desired occupation. Your qualities will exhibit to employers why they should hire you over other candidates. Step 1: Attain a level of self-honoring. Self-honoring or self-love may seem like an odd step for job hunters, but being able to accept yourself, without judgment, helps eliminate insecurities and will make you more self-assured. By accepting who you areall your emotions, hopes and dreams, your personality, and your unique way of beingyoull project more confidence when networking and talking with potential employers. The power of self-honoring can help to break all the falsehoods you were programmed to believethose that made you feel that you were not good enough, or strong enough, or intelligent enough to do what you truly desire. Step 2: Vision. Miller suggests that job seekers develop a vision that embraces the answer to What do I really want to do? one should create a solid statement in a dozen or so sentences that describe in detail how they see their life related to work. For instance, the secretary who longs to be an actress describes a life that allows her to express her love of Shakespeare on stage. A real estate agent, attracted to his current job because her loves fixing up old homes, describes buying properties that need a little tender loving care to make them more saleable. |
