What’s the first thing you focus on when applying to a new role or looking for a job? If you said job title, you’re not alone. This is what most young professionals get wrong about job search. The
- problem is that job titles are often misleading. And the same title can entail completely different tasks at different organizations.
- To get better at finding a job you’ll love doing, try this two part exercise: First, ask yourself four simple questions: Who do you want to be around all day? What do you see yourself doing? Where do you want to do it? And why do you want to do it? Answer honestly.
- Next, use your answers to get intentional about your job search. Type “careers in [your field of interest]” into Google. That simple search will bring up lots of valuable information, from professional organizations to job sites with specific openings. Even if
- a job seems like it’s perfect for you, don’t stop your search there. Find roles at several organizations that meet your “must-have” requirements and compare their descriptions.
