Jobs and CareersSaran Dalam Menjalankan Jaringan Karir Anda
Berikut ini merupakan kunci keberhasilan anda dalam pencarian kerja. Ikuti beberapa aturan sederhana ini, dan tentunya akan membantu banyak langkah-langkah anda.
1. Sadari bahwa jaringan itu penting. Beberapa pakar beranggapan bahwa hanya 5 sampai 25 persen peluang kerja yang diiklankan, jadi anda dapat menemukan yang tidak diiklankan tersebut melalui pembicaraan dengan sebanyak mungkin orang yang mungkin anda kontak, dan sampaikan kepada mereka bahwa anda sedang mencari peluang itu.
2. Berfikirlah kreatif, terutama bagaimana untuk menemukan kontak melalui jaringan. Anda dapat menemukan siapa saja untuk menambah daftar mereka dimanapun dan dari manapun.
3. Jangan pergi kemana pun tanpa membawa kopian riwayat hidup anda berikut kartu nama anda. Begitu juga dengan daftar kontak anda. Anda dapat menyimpannya di dalam tas anda, dan pastikan anda dapat mengambilnya dengan mudah, terutama ketika tiba-tiba anda bertemu dengan seseorang yang sedang membutuhkan anda.
4. Tidak usah ragu untuk meminta pertolongan. Kebanyakan orang perlu diperlakukan dengan ramah dan diangkat sehingga mereka merasa penting, dengan demikian mereka akan lebih terbuka kepada anda, termasuk untuk memberikan informasi yang berharga tersebut.
5. Bergabunglah dalam organisasi para profesional yang berkaitan dengan bidang anda.
6. Jadilah sukarelawan untuk kegiatan-kegiatan tertentu yang mungkin anda ikuti. Menariknya, dalam salah satu survey, cara ini merupakan peringkat ke dua untuk meningkatkan kontak dalam jalaringan baru anda!
7. Temukan penasehat anda. Penasehat anda ini adalah orang yang akan menuntun dan menolong anda, termasuk dalam menggunakan pengaruhnya untuk pencarian pekerjaan atau peningkatan karir anda. Dia bisa saja dari seseorang yang berpengaruh kuat dari salah satu kontak yang ada dalam jaringan anda.
8. Kelola dan organisir daftar kontak yang ada dalam jaringan anda, misalnya melalui file komputer, kotak penyimpanan kartu nama terindex, atau bentuk lainnya.
9. Kenali teknik wawancara yang baik.
10. Jangan lupa untuk mengingat siapa saja yang telah menolong anda, berikan pengakuan dan ucapan terima kasih yang tulus kepada mereka. Hal ini hanyalah etika normal dan umum yang sebaiknya kita lakukan dalam bermasyarakat, terutama atas bantuan seseorang terhadap apa-apa yang telah anda dapatkan. Pengaruh ini juga belum tentu kecil, karena mereka akan ingat kepada anda terutama untuk memberikan hal lainnya untuk masa yang akan datang.
11. Tetap jalin hubungan dengan jaringan anda, meskipun anda telah mendapatkan pekerjaan. Anda tidak akan tahu, kapan anda akan membutuhkan pekerjaan kembali, terutama dalam rangka meningkatkan karir anda untuk masa yang akan datang.***

TAKE THIS CAREER AND SHOVE IT: IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!
Are you listening to that little voice in your head telling you how much you dislike your job? If not, you may become angry with those around you, when in fact, you'll be angry at yourself for failing to taking the necessary steps to change your career -- or job within the same industry.
Career change is not always easy. For some, the simple task of deciding what to do is often the hardest part. For others who know what they want to do, they often feel it will take too long to achieve their career goals when there are bills to pay. It is even more difficult when those around us do not understand our "crazy ideas" because they are too practical to make sacrifices for the sake of happiness. So what should you do to steer your career in the right direction without upsetting the family and draining your bank account?
Here are a few suggestions to get you on the right career track to job fulfillment. Work for yourself Don't quit your day job just yet. Launching a business is a challenge in itself. Regardless of size, any worthwhile business takes a lot of planning, development, and maintenance to compete and stay in business. The key to successful business ownership begins with a passion to do something you enjoy, followed by a financial investment that depends on the business. Sometimes it is minimal, requiring a small space and general office equipment. For larger ventures, a business loan from a bank or the SBA might be necessary. Still, it takes time to turn a profit right away.
So, if you can, start small while working full time and gradually build your business until you feel secure enough financially to leave that steady paycheck to take your business to the next level. You can always hire part-time employees, student interns, friends, and family members to help you in the beginning and in the long run. Attend college or vocational training school You don't always need to attend college full time. If you took a few classes each semester, you'd be amazed how happy you'd be just knowing you are working towards your goal. And, it doesn't always need to be a four-year college. Maybe there is a vocational school that offers the type of academic training you need to make a career change in a shorter period of time for a fraction of the cost.
Other options include distance learning programs where you can study in the comfort of your own home at your own pace. Change jobs internally Sometimes happiness is only a department away! If you work for a proactive company that posts job openings internally, this might be the perfect opportunity for you to change careers while growing with the same company. Your career change can be very drastic if you have a supportive company that is willing to train you. Best of all, they might even pay for you to attend college to prepare you for that career change. If they don't post internally, keep your ears open to learn about new business developments within the company. Speak with your human resources representative to inquire about career growth opportunities and what you need to do to make a career change internally.
Create a position at your current company Sometimes you know better than anyone in the company what is needed. If you can put a business plan together to present to management illustrating how this new idea would benefit the company financially and logistically, you might succeed at creating a new position--or even a new department! This is a great way to do what you do best in a new capacity because you will be the person who will determine what the job description will be. Pretty cool! Transition to a new career by answering a classified ad Again, don't quit your job just yet. You are always more marketable when you have a job. If you are ready to take drastic measures to find overnight career happiness, you should have your resume and cover letter professionally prepared to answer those classified ads in the newspaper or online.
Even if you are just exploring the possibility of changing careers, this is a good exercise to see how marketable you are (how much money you can make), develop your interviewing skills, and to learn about what's out there beyond the walls of your office cubicle! Go back to what you used to do--and love Sounds crazy right? How many times have you heard someone say, "I used to work doing such and such. It didn't pay that well, but I loved it." It is not uncommon to leave what we love because it doesn't pay the bills. Money seems like everything these days.
But, when we're unhappy, we know it's really not. We need to find a compromise--something we enjoy doing that will make us want to get up every morning so we can live that old adage that claims you'll never work a day in your life if you work at doing what you love.
