I trust that 2023 will be the year for success in your career, wherever you are along that journey! Here are a few links to Career Lantern posts and podcasts that may be helpful.
If you’re a college student approaching graduation:
- Do you have your resume tailored for the specific positions to which you are applying?
- Do you have the list of your professional references ready, up to date, and all the contacts are aware they are on the list?
- Have you practiced responding to interview questions, answering out loud, especially if you expect you may be asked “STAR” questions?
- Are you prepared for an online video job interview?
- Is your social media helping or hurting your chances of getting a job?
If you’re currently employed but seeking to advance:
- Should you expect a skills test when interviewing for a new position?
- Are you considering pursuing a position in management?
- If you get a job offer, are you prepared to negotiate a starting salary?
- Did you know that merely having reasonably good writing skills is an easy way to be favorably noticed by those in higher positions?
If you’re currently employed but unhappy with your job:
- Maybe you are considering an entirely different career path, but have you looked at the possible future of that type of work?
- Have you considered an apprenticeship?
- Do you feel trapped in a dead-end job with no future? Do you know what you want, but are just not sure how to get there? In this situation, I would recommend reading my book.
