I am Employed and am Open to or Selectively Looking for an opportunity.
My challenges are:
Clarity
- How do I know what are my best career options? I don't need a job, I want an opportunity!
- How do I assess my skills and marketability relative to my 5 year plan?
- How do I save time in identifying “what I don't know?”
- How do I build connections and relationships fast?
- Maybe I should take some time to explore unknown or new ideas.
- How do I know that this next position is truly a good career move?
- I want this move to “fast-track” my marketability.
- I’m missing job satisfaction or career growth.
- I have probably been with this company too long. I need to address this soon.
- The integrity, the culture or the environment is not for me.
Personal Branding
- I want to improve my personal brand so that “opportunities” come to me.
- Is my resume selling me in or out?
- How do I identify and reach the targeted companies and contacts?
- How do I position myself for opportunities in the unpublished job market?
- How do I become a recognized subject matter expert?
- I want to change industries.
- I’m on the slow track not the fast track.
Proactive Positioning
- It's more important to secure the right opportunity than the time it takes to find it.
- How do I identify the best targets in industry and product
- How do I execute an exploratory meeting effectively?
- How do I get an outstanding offer?
- How do I build my network in advance of my move?
- I am pigeon-holed where I work. How can I make sure I make a good move?
- I want something exciting and new, I am not challenged.
- The job is too demanding for my personal life and I would like more balance.
- I’m in the right position but in the wrong company.
