SANITY CHECK YOUR JOB SEARCH

You're currently in the job search phase but finding yourself unable to escape others' expectations for what decisions you should make. You'd really like to avoid falling into position after position and have a better understanding of why you make decisions the way you do. 

Deliberate, intentional and confident decision-making.

You feel stuck because of four things:

1. You lack clarity around what’s not working (and what you actually want).

• “I need clarity on what has been demotivating me at work (and potential how this has leaked into home life).”

• “I’m confused because I don't understand what's not motivating for me right now and if the career path I chose in college is still right for me.”

• “I’m procrastinating and second-guessing myself. I want to clarify my values, environment that I will thrive in, and get an understanding of myself - why do I think about my career, and work in the way I do.”

2. You lack confidence (and are shaken from past decisions).

• “I’m feeling anxious, a lack of confidence in my worth, skills, and strengths in the positions I'm applying for.”

• “For a long time I’ve struggled with lacking the confidence to simply be myself and be bold and honest about the things I liked, disliked, cares about and didn't care about, because there is so much of me that is caught up with trying to please others instead of trusting myself.”

• “I do not have the confidence in myself to figure out what I need to do to avoid falling back into a terrible work situation. It’s all I have known and I need help to figure out what’s a healthy fit when examining job options.”

• “I feel that I made a huge mistake in my last career choice. This decision has already wasted 3 years of my life and had significant capital and personal costs. I want to make sure that I'm going about my next steps in a way that I won't regret 3-5 years from now. I'd also like to build back the confidence I had in my decision making prior to the misstep.”

3. You don’t know how to make decisions you’ll be happy with.

• “I want to have the strength to turn down the roles that are obviously not a fit, regardless of the other 'temptations' or things that do make those opportunities look enticing.”

• “I can’t tell the difference between whether an idea or job sounds good in theory vs. reality. I want a better way to gut check or sanity check decisions prior to making them ... no matter how tempting an option may be.”

• “I feel lost because I don't know which way to go next, do I continue on the same path and hope that something is different in a new job (without completely understanding what and why it is)?”

4. You don’t know how to communicate your worth:

• “I feel like I know myself pretty well, but I don’t have the ability to concisely share what those things are with people.”

• “How do I talk about my needs and have the courage to ask the right questions in interviews, rather than shying away from making it transparent that these are things I need in order to thrive and do well in any position?”

• “I want to figure out what are my unique strengths, and how I effectively communicate them (rather than articulating the 'strengths' that I can do, but aren't really the things that I enjoy or make my heart sing).”

You'll get an objective point of view on what will be fulfilling in a job and help evaluating any decision you have to make in a short period of time.

This program is for you if you're looking for:

• A sanity check on your intuition of where you want to be headed (are you looking in the right direction, are the jobs you're applying for a good fit, how to evaluate specific opportunities, etc).
  

• An extra boost of energy, focus and confidence about who you are and what you're looking for during the job search process.
  

• Confidence in decision making so you can stop second guessing yourself or worrying that you'll make the "wrong" choice.
  

• The skills to communicate your value incredibly effectively with hiring managers and interviewers.

Here are some the outcomes that clients experience:

• “The analysis was a real game changer for me, and provided a lot of concise insights into my strengths I didn't necessarily know before. […] The exercises around knowing what energizes me in a culture and environment, and what doesn't, will really help me shape up my questions for the interviews I'll be having and I feel highly confident because of that.”
  

• “I've learned what my values are, and how prevalent they actually were in the bigger decisions I've made in my life to date. It's encouraging to know that these are a big part of me, and do drive my behaviors. I'm excited to be more conscious of them now.”
  

• “I've been impressed and surprised with my ability to navigate and get into conversations I might not have thought I'd get into before this”
  

• “I gained confidence, agency, and the ability to speak up for myself. I see my work environment and management and/or the people around me have a huge impact on my work happiness and performance quality.

• “I learned how to ask questions about the things that were most important to me in a workplace and challenged me to be more in control of my job search instead of feeling like I was at the mercy of the companies I talked to. It was a great reminder that I'm able to also say no to them just like they are able to say no to me.”

• “Now, I have a better understanding of what I am looking for out of life and what goals I want to pursue to find long-term satisfaction. I have a better perspective of what to look for in my next job such that it will contribute to those goals and that you don’t pick a career but make a bunch of choices that will define my career.”

• “I am getting better at giving myself a break. I am better at recognizing my strengths and successes rather than simply focusing on shortcomings.”
