Job Hunt Manifesto
Even though I do believe every word of this title must be studied and explained, I'll make it short for pissed-off job seekers. Those to whom nothing seems to work.
1- You are not wrong: the job market is slapping your face. NOW, IS THIS ENOUGH TO WAKE YOU UP? If not, expect the worse.
2- The goal of the slap is to make you REALIZE YOUR WORTH. To help you stop accepting slavery as an advantage and start searching for your real mission on this earth.
3- It's either you learn the lesson and START LEARNING HOW TO STAND OUT from the crowd and make yourself hard to replace. Or you will be pulled to the darkest workplaces.
4- I'm sorry that this hard time is asking you THE OLD SAME QUESTIONS you kept running away from "Who are you and what are you supposed to do on earth?".
5- The bad news you can't escape then anymore. The good news is that you don't need to find them, THEY WILL FIND, YOU INSTEAD. You only need to accept your purpose of life when it manifests for you.
6. It feels comfortable. It feels joyful. It feels natural, OPERATING IN YOUR OWN GENIUS ZONE. It will please you unless you are stuck at pleasing someone else.
7- So don't send resumés anymore, instead go and DISCUSS THE VALUE THAT YOU CAN ADD, YOUR REAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE TABLE. Did they refuse to speak about the role? then they mostly don't have one.
8- Articulate the 6 criteria of your dream role. No need to find your "passion", only find the closest role that you will feel energetic filling. Have you created this image for your perfect role? START MARKETING IT EVERYWHERE. You'll find someone telling you "Oh this fits perfectly a vacancy we have in ... Let me share more."
9- You are stuck anyway! So instead of scrolling the stupid job postings go learn a new skill (that again you enjoy a lot). Some wonderful recruiter or field worker will love the learning journey you are sharing and WILL REFER YOU VERY SOON.
10- You found your sweet spot right? Now work on those tasks day and night. KNOW IT INSIDE OUT. Defy and challenge all that you come across. Fill your 10k hours. You'll make yourself hard to ignore.
11- Now you witness how the curse of being jobless has become a blessing? You have to share it and help others cross that hell. Coaching is the best humanitarian activity of all time.
12- IT ONLY FINISHES TO START AGAIN. It's like seasons, they only finish to start again. Happy to land your "Spring" and harvest your "Summer", nice. But, pssst, the "Autumn" is followed up by a burden fricking awful new "Winter" job hunt.
