Step 1
DIVE DEEP INTO WHAT SATISFACTION
IN WORK AND LIFE MEANS FOR YOU
The strongest foundation that you can build
on is also the most personal.
This discernment must be detailed and
expansive to be any good.
You know that you are on the right track
when your heart starts to race.

5.
Step 2
FIND THE RIGHT 'WAVE' TO RIDE YOUR
CAREER
Match yourself with a field of work and a
specialty that is challenging and rewarding.
Consider how much in demand it is and
where it is likely to be headed.
Allocate your target skill set between hard
skills and soft skills.

6.
Step 3
OWN YOUR TIME AND START TO
BUILD VALUE WITH EACH ACTION
See yourself as the CEO of your career and
start reporting meaningful results of your
activities (Resume Holography).
Imagine every productive effort as a building
block of skills in your career.
Those investments of time are like mortgage
payments on your career real estate.

7.
Step 4
FASHION YOUR PRODUCT IN YOUR
IMAGE
You are the product; you are building you
Take meticulous care about details and
features
Overbuild if you can to ensure that it can
withstand a variety of scenarios

8.
Step 5
IDENTIFY WHAT THE UNIQUE
ESSENCE OF YOUR SKILL SET AND
SOCIALIZE IT
With all the concern paid to your
'construction' be proud of pointing out makes
you tick
Be willing to share not in a boastful way, but
rather to garner the attention that you feel it
deserves
Relish the fruits of your labor by offering to
demonstrate given any opportunity

9.
Step 6
GO THE DISTANCE AND LIST OUT
WHO YOU BELIEVE SHOULD BE
AWARE OF YOUR TALENTS
It's time to measure how applicable your skill
set is in practice
It's time to value how effective your skill set
under real world conditions
Invite feedback, learn about gaps and
consider improvements

10.
Step 7
FIND OUT WHAT THE STATE OF THE
ART IS IN YOUR FIELD AND BECOME A
STUDENT OF ITS LEADERS
Start collecting valuable insights from
whomever is willing to share it
Be willing to ask for help in the process since
your goal is to to keep refining your skill set
Follow the developments of challenges faced
by those whom you contact

11.
Step 8
ANTICIPATE STAFFING SHORTAGES
AND BECOME VERSED IN THE
SPECIFICS OF EACH SITUATION
Prepare for opportunities where the
shortages identified match your expertise
In close matches ask about which
propsective candidtes managers have in
mind to pursue
Inquire about the timelines in the managers'
decision-making process

12.
Step 9
COMPILE THE NOTES FROM YOUR
RESEARCH THAT WILL INFORM THE
CUSTOMIZATION OF A PENDING
APPLICATION
Use the particular language and priorities
expressed by the managers in lieu of
descriptions for a job opening
Rehearse answers to interview questions
focused on your weaknesses
Be prepared to show you are unflappable,
adaptable, upbeat, caring and interested

13.
Step 10
CLOSING THE DEAL WITH
INTELLIGENT SALARY NEGOTIATION
Build a strong case for what is important to
you and have a salary range in mind
Counter by asking what components are
negotiable
Expect some resistance and prepare to strike
a balance between firmness and flexibility

ON VACATION, I WAS
ONCE BOOTED OFF A
TRAIN FROM PRAGUE TO
BERLIN IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT AT
GUNPOINT. MY TRAVEL
COMPANION HELD A
BRITISH PASSPORT AND
NEEDED A VISA.
