| Step 1 |
Take out a blank sheet of paper. |
| Step 2 |
Create three columns: Column
One: "What are the things you have in this job, or had in past jobs,
that you don’t want as part of your next job?"
Column Two: "What are the things you have
in this job, or had in past jobs, that you want as part of your next job?"
Column Three: "What have you not yet had
in a job that you want as part of your next job?" |
| Step 3 |
Live with this list for a week. Add and delete items on
your list as you experience your week. |
| Step 4 |
Add the big things and the little things. |
| Step 5 |
NOW, and only NOW, begin to write your resume. |
| Step 6 |
DO NOT include any accomplishments or skills that reflect
Column one. |
| Step 7 |
DO highlight those accomplishments and skills reflected in
Column two and demonstrate your readiness for Column three. |
| Step 8 |
Identify the 5 things that must be true about your next
opportunity for it to be the right opportunity for you. (Hint: challenge, growth and
opportunity mean different things to different people. What do they mean to YOU?) |
