5 Vital Job Search Tips
To Get The Job That’s
REALLY Right For You
When you are unhappy at work or are faced with losing a job, the knee jerk
reaction is to jump right into another similar job or accept whatever
employment we can find so that you are able to keep uninterrupted pay.
Instead, try to see it as an opportunity to give yourself time to reflect about
what you truly want out of life so you can find a job that supports it. Here
are five job search tips to help you find a job that complements the life you
truly want.
Introduction

What Motivates You?
Typically, your broader reason for working is to earn money or to make a
difference in some way. Usually one of these is more important to you than the
other.
Once you determine your main motivation for work, it helps you know where to
look for employment—non-profits, corporations or opportunities that offer
both such as companies that have core values and beliefs that align with your
own.

Check Your Passion
Ask yourself if you are still passionate about the career you’re in. During a job
transition, it’s the perfect time to ask yourself if your chosen career is still
fulfilling before jumping right back into a job in the same field.
Although most professionals struggle with burnout from time to time, if your
passion for what you do is lacking, it’s time to create a plan to find another
career or create new professional goals for yourself.

Determine What
You Need
Do you want flexibility? A shorter commute? More vacation time or the ability
to telecommute.
List out the criteria for your ideal position and determine what is most
important or non-negotiable. It might not be possible for you to get everything,
but it’s important to get what you need before committing to another
company.

What Else Can You
Change To Provide What
You Need Out of Life?
In our careers, what we do every day is critically important to our quality of life.
Reflecting on what you truly want out of life, might uncover deficits outside of
your career you can solve.
Having the opportunity to reflect on what’s really important to you when faced
with a job change can open the doors to changing other areas of your life to
give you what you need.

Be Open and Inquisitive
Embrace learning about new industries and making new connections. The more
open you are to new opportunities and environments, the more likely you’ll be
to come across an ideal situation. Often we reduce our searches to what we are
familiar with. Being open and inquisitive opens up new ways for your skill-sets
to be used.

Before jumping straight into a new job just to maintain a
steady income, take time to determine what you want out
of life and what’s most important to you in a new position.
Ultimately, this time will pay great dividends to your
ultimate success and happiness.
