Getting Out of Your Own Way: How to Not Limit Yourself During a Job Search
Oregon City, OR - July 25, 2023
Embarking on a job search can be a daunting task. Especially
when you’re faced with job descriptions that require a long list of
qualifications. Sometimes, you narrow down your options too much and end up
discouraged when nothing comes through. Limiting yourself like this can take
away opportunities that might just be the perfect fit for you. In this blog
post from an expert in career
postings, you will learn how to get out of your own way and do your job
search the right way.
Explore
Different Industries
Often people limit themselves to only specific industries
that they have previous experience in. This restricts you from finding
opportunities that you may not have even considered before. For example, you
might have a background in communication. With the knowledge you gained from
that, you could explore industries like education or healthcare, which both
require communication roles. Opening up your search will give you better
chances of finding the right fit.
Transferable
Skillset
Along with exploring different industries, it’s important to
remember that you most likely have a list of transferable skills. Transferable
skills are things that you learned in a certain role that can be applied to a
different kind of job. Problem-solving and leadership are a couple of skills
that can be transferred amongst different roles. These can make you an asset to
any company, even if you don’t have every qualification on their list.
Be Open to
Learning
Sometimes employers are willing to provide training to a
candidate who shows potential. By applying to positions that you may not have
all the skills required for but are willing to learn, you open more opportunities
for yourself. You will show employees that you are motivated and strive to
improve yourself.
Conclusion
Remember, getting out of your own way is the key to having
the best possible chances of finding a perfect job. Don’t be afraid to explore
different industries, use your transferable skills, and stay willing to learn.
Follow these tips and your employment
search will go smoother than you expected. Good luck!
