NOTE FROM YOUR CAREER ADVISOR

The Iowa Caucuses have kicked off the political process in this Election Year.  Historically, elections are great for job seekers.  The party who is in office will do all they can do to create jobs to be re-elected. Opponents will focus as much energy as possibly drawing attention the unemployment rate.  The campaigns of both parties will pour millions of dollars into the economy and again this is good news for you!

The last quarter of 2011 was one of the strongest quarters for hiring.  The momentum is building as we enter this new year with new hiring budgets.  The recent Wright Survey revealed that 85% of people currently employed would change their job if given the opportunity.  This upheaval in the job market will open more job opportunities that you’ve seen in the past couple of years.

Commit at least 35-40 hours a week to your job search if you are not employed. Your Job Search is your full-time job.  If you are working, dedicate at least 10 hours each week to your job search.  Your time commitment is essential to your success.  If you have not completed the 16 Step Process or Finding a Job that is outlined in our Career Portal, make that resolution today.  The process shared is filled with techniques used by professional recruiters and will escalate your results.

Follow this advice and January could become the month that you accept a new job offer!

NOTE FROM YOUR CAREER ADVISOR
Who knows you?

In a job search, focus is often placed on who you know. These individuals are usually included in your professional or personal network. Have contacted them, sent them your resume and informed them of your current job search?

It’s important to make a list of who knows you. These are individuals who may have been clients, customers, classmates, association leadership, teachers, coaches, mentors, or past competitors. It is often the people who KNOW YOU and your capabilities that can advance your search. Too often, these individuals are not included in your personal or professional network.

Your success in your job search to a great degree is dependent on the people you know and the people who know you. These are the individuals who can open doors, make contacts and often get your resume to the top of the proverbial stack. When you are referred to a hiring authority by someone else you automatically have a great competitive advantage.

Take time today to make a list of people who know you and your capabilities. Research contact information or if your information is dated, reach out to them utilizing social media sites. This will improve the results you are experiencing in your job search.

Please classify this as IMPORTANT and LIFE CHANGING!

Are you READY for the CHALLENGE???

In preparation of the 30 Day Job Search Challenge, below is your Job Search Assessment. Complete this today or tomorrow. This has proven to be an outstanding tool to get clear about how well you are doing on your job search activities. You will benefit by putting IMMEDIATE ATTENTION on the areas where you need improvement and this tool will give you the opportunity to assess yourself so you can highlight the areas to get support.

The 30 Day Challenge will support you in playing full out. Asking for help is a sign of STRENGTH!

What to expect:

You will receive an email everyday for 30 days including the “Daily Strategies”. This includes a recording and PowerPoint video from me to start your day with a POWERFUL INTENTION. Your job is to use that daily intention in your day to see what if offers you. Expect to have BREAKTHROUGHS and WINS as many of these intentions while at first glance seem insignificant, will change your job search and your life in ways that can benefit you now and in the future! All of the past Daily Strategies can be found on the member’s site on a separate thread in the member’s forum called “30 Day Challenge – Daily Strategies”. I will post the new links daily as well.

There is also a very popular 30 Day Job Search Challenge thread in the member’s forum to start interacting with other Re-THINK! members!

A quick thought while I am thinking of it. Frequently I receive emails and I want to call to discuss further and so often I have to look up phone numbers because it is not on the email. If you are on a job search, as a general rule, I think you should make yourself easy to reach by simply including your phone number under your name on the bottom of “all” emails. You can set this up in your “email signature” so it is automated.

OK here you go! Now, if you are playing full out you will complete your Job Search Assessment as a priority. If you are sitting on the sidelines in any area of life, now is the time to say “I am in”. This 30 Day Challenge has literally transformed the lives of Re-THINKERS! who have played full out. Playing full out will create new “patterns” where your old patterns have left you frustrated or ineffective. All you have to do is show up and play full out. It might be uncomfortable as your reach beyond where in the past you’ve stopped and that is where transformation happens. It is a new experience of what is possible.

The goal of the 30 day Job Search Challenge is to get an offer in 30 days.

While in the challenge you have the opportunity to have:

30 days of WINS

30 days of FOCUS

30 days of INSPIRATION

30 days of MOTIVATION

30 days of TEAM SUPPORT

30 days of MOMENTUM

30 day of POWERFUL INTENTIONS

When playing full out in the challenge, you will not have time for:

Complaining

Procrastination

Excuses

Wasting time or energy

Commiserating

YAY!

Are you ready for the CHALLENGE?

IMPORTANT ACTION ITEM:

30 DAY JOB SEARCH CHALLENGE

SELF ASSESSMENT

The purpose of this self-assessment process is to simply look at the various areas of your job search from “different angles” so that you look to see where you can set goals that will turbo-charge your search for the next 30 days.

Creating a willingness to look for and quickly improve your job search habits will give you the greatest opportunity to move obstacles out of your way. This attitude allows you to grow, to achieve and to do what is necessary to get that job offer.

The momentum created by the 30 day “sense of urgency” will also keep you in a mind set where you are pushing through in areas where you have lost momentum in the past.

It won’t be easy…and it won’t be hard. It will go how it goes. Keep moving forward and give it your best!

Think of this as a 30 day gym membership. You can go to the gym daily, use all the tools and resources available to get the most out of your 30 days.

One strong request I have is that you be a champion’s cheerleader to yourself throughout the process. Think about if you were cheering someone else on. If they were up against a block in the road, you would encourage them to go around it. You might even reach out and move that block for them. They would have your support from start to finish.

By being a champion for your own success you will endure the ups and the downs and you will come out much stronger at the end of the 30 days. Who you become in the achievement of your goal is very rewarding.

So let’s get to the self assessment.

Look at each area of your job search and examine it. Think of it like a mini audit or a safety check. See where you are at and where you can improve.

Below are a few questions that will allow you to look at the job search tasks from different angles. This is not meant to be complicated or suggest you must be perfect. It is about noticing what you could do to enhance a particular area of your search. The areas you need to improve most could be “the task” that gets you the offer or prevents you from getting it. There are too many variables to say that one area is solely responsible, so it is best to look at each and make notes about improvements that are in your best interest.

This is a challenge yet instead of it being a contest against some other person, it is really about you and you. The you that wants to win and the you that gets confronted by the obstacles (all that mental chatter).

There is no opponent in the game of life; there is only the goal ~Neville~

You can count on me to cheer you on and encourage you to “Re-THINK!” your way through this next 30 days!

Setting goals

As you go through your assessment, notice the areas that can be improved and write them in the form of a goal. When you know what you are aiming for you can get there. Identify your goal in numbers, when possible. This will keep you pushing to attain the goal.

You may have 30 day goals, for example, “Sign my offer letter in 30 days or sooner.”

You’ll want to set weekly goals. For example, 4 face to face interviews per week.

You will also have daily goals. For example, 3 “wins” per day (wins are good things that happen).

As you ask the following questions and notice what improvement is needed say, “I am setting goals in the following areas”, then write them in under 30 day goals, one week goals, or daily goals. You may have a preferred style to track or remind yourself of your goals. As we get rolling we will share any good ideas for the Re-THINK members.

30 Day Goals

Weekly Goals

Daily Goals

Here are the questions to ask yourself in your Self Assessment:

These questions give you 5 angles to look for improvement

1. What obstacles are in the way of this area?

2. What am I unclear about in this area?
3. What frustrates me about this area?

4. What scares me about this area?

5. What about this area is good and what would make it be even better?

Now – Rate yourself on a scale of 1-3 for each job search area below. The goal is to get to a “3″ in all areas during the 30 Day Challenge.

My Self Assessment of my Job Search

1. I’m clear what job and industry I am targeting.

(Ask your five questions from above now)

2. My resume is polished and reflects my ideal job and industry.

(Ask your five questions from above now)

3. I have a clear target list of the companies I want to work for and have listed the hiring managers of these companies. I am creating visibility with the right people.

(Ask your five questions from above now)

4. I am comfortable networking and am creating visibility with the people on my list.

5. I am comfortable reaching out to others and gathering information that may lead to my next job opportunity.

6. I am confident interviewing and have a good target for interviews each week.

7. I have created a “me file” to support myself in all of my job search efforts. I have filled it with accomplishments, good habits, my strengths and what positive things others say about me.

8. I have a polished value proposition letter and value statement, and I am sending it out to my target companies.

9. I have completed my LinkedIn profile and it represents my qualifications and value I bring to my next employer.

10. I have set up solid accountability structures for my search and I keep my promises.

11. I am progressing through my Re-THINK program on time and I feel good and getting better every day.

12. I am maximizing my time every day by making time commitments so I can get the most activity working towards a job offer.

13. I am very productive every day and I am “the boss” in the face of procrastination. I follow through and achieve my deadlines.

14. I have a strong ritual to start my day and am committed to feeling the best I can.

15. I am focused on getting results every day.

“A champion doesn’t quit – they step on the gas”

Once you’ve written up the results of your assessment and listed out your goals, start to get that “urgency buzz” going. Can you feel it? You can get things accomplished quickly and effectively or you can wrestle with yourself over a particular area.

Hint: Tight deadlines get us to move our feet.

Life is a decision. You get to decide every minute.

Whenever you feel disempowered, that is your signal to Re-THINK! There is nothing but inspiration and support all around you in the Re-THINK Community.

Stay active and engaged and allow yourself the gift of victory. Whether you have your offer by day 30 or not, you can be a champion in how you bring that “winning spirit to the challenge”.

by Jacob Sokol (www.marcandangel.com)

Studies conducted by positivity psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky point to 12 things happy people do differently to increase their levels of happiness. These are things that we can start doing today to feel the effects of more happiness in our lives.

I read this article and the commentary from the author and want to share the comments on each of these 12 points, because no matter what part of life’s path we’re currently traveling on, these ‘happiness habits’ will always be applicable.

Express gratitude. – When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. Kinda cool right? So basically, being grateful for the goodness that is already evident in your life will bring you a deeper sense of happiness. And that’s without having to go out and buy anything. It makes sense. We’re gonna have a hard time ever being happy if we aren’t thankful for what we already have.

Cultivate optimism. – Winners have the ability to manufacture their own optimism. No matter what the situation, the successful diva is the chick who will always find a way to put an optimistic spin on it. She knows failure only as an opportunity to grow and learn a new lesson from life. People who think optimistically see the world as a place packed with endless opportunities, especially in trying times.

Avoid over-thinking and social comparison. – Comparing yourself to someone else can be poisonous. If we’re somehow ‘better’ than the person that we’re comparing ourselves to, it gives us an unhealthy sense of superiority. Our ego inflates – KABOOM – our inner Kanye West comes out! If we’re ‘worse’ than the person that we’re comparing ourselves to, we usually discredit the hard work that we’ve done and dismiss all the progress that we’ve made. What I’ve found is that the majority of the time this type of social comparison doesn’t stem from a healthy place. If you feel called to compare yourself to something, compare yourself to an older version of yourself.

Practice acts of kindness. – Performing an act of kindness releases serotonin in your brain. (Serotonin is a substance that has TREMENDOUS health benefits, including making us feel more blissful.) Selflessly helping someone is a super powerful way to feel good inside. What’s even cooler about this kindness kick is that not only will you feel better, but so will people watching the act of kindness. How extraordinary is that? Bystanders will be blessed with a release of serotonin just by watching what’s going on. A side note is that the job of most anti-depressants is to release more serotonin. Move over Pfizer, kindness is kicking ass and taking names.

Nurture social relationships. – The happiest people on the planet are the ones who have deep, meaningful relationships. Did you know studies show that people’s mortality rates are DOUBLED when they’re lonely? WHOA! There’s a warm fuzzy feeling that comes from having an active circle of good friends who you can share your experiences with. We feel connected and a part of something more meaningful than our lonesome existence.

Develop strategies for coping. – How you respond to the ‘craptastic’ moments is what shapes your character. Sometimes crap happens – it’s inevitable. Forrest Gump knows the deal. It can be hard to come up with creative solutions in the moment when manure is making its way up toward the fan. It helps to have healthy strategies for coping pre-rehearsed, on-call, and in your arsenal at your disposal.

Learn to forgive. – Harboring feelings of hatred is horrible for your well-being. You see, your mind doesn’t know the difference between past and present emotion. When you ‘hate’ someone, and you’re continuously thinking about it, those negative emotions are eating away at your immune system. You put yourself in a state of suckerism (technical term) and it stays with you throughout your day.

Increase flow experiences. – Flow is a state in which it feels like time stands still. It’s when you’re so focused on what you’re doing that you become one with the task. Action and awareness are merged. You’re not hungry, sleepy, or emotional. You’re just completely engaged in the activity that you’re doing. Nothing is distracting you or competing for your focus.

Savor life’s joys. – Deep happiness cannot exist without slowing down to enjoy the joy. It’s easy in a world of wild stimuli and omnipresent movement to forget to embrace life’s enjoyable experiences. When we neglect to appreciate, we rob the moment of its magic. It’s the simple things in life that can be the most rewarding if we remember to fully experience them.

Commit to your goals. – Being wholeheartedly dedicated to doing something comes fully-equipped with an ineffable force. Magical things start happening when we commit ourselves to doing whatever it takes to get somewhere. When you’re fully committed to doing something, you have no choice but to do that thing. Counter-intuitively, having no option – where you can’t change your mind – subconsciously makes humans happier because they know it’s part of their purpose.

Practice spirituality. – When we practice spirituality or religion, we recognize that life is bigger than us. We surrender the silly idea that we are the mightiest thing ever. It enables us to connect to the source of all creation and embrace a connectedness with everything that exists. Some of the most accomplished people I know feel that they’re here doing work they’re “called to do.”

Take care of your body. – Taking care of your body is crucial to being the happiest person you can be. If you don’t have your physical energy in good shape, then your mental energy (your focus), your emotional energy (your feelings), and your spiritual energy (your purpose) will all be negatively affected. Did you know that studies conducted on people who were clinically depressed showed that consistent exercise raises happiness levels just as much as Zoloft? Not only that, but here’s the double whammy… Six months later, the people who participated in exercise were less likely to relapse because they had a higher sense of self-accomplishment and self-worth.

CAREER ADVISOR – August 24, 2011

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
If you are spending most of your time at home in front of your computer, it’s time to shake up your routine. Applying online is by far the easiest way to apply for jobs – but it’s NOT the most effective. When you’re in a job search for more than six months -your daily routine is set on automatic pilot.

This week, spend 75% of your time networking, setting up informational interviews and marketing yourself directly to hiring authorities. Rather than sending emails, pick up the phone and have conversations. Leave a voicemail that shows your target how it will benefit them to call you back. Get out of your house and force yourself to interact with people who are working. You NEVER know who can open a door that results in your next job opportunity.

Start to look for the “musts”

What qualities do you admire in your roles models?

My Personal Charter – You can use mine as a “template” if you’d like. Just change it to reflect YOUR PURPOSE as you discover it.

My purpose in life is to be an everyday hero for myself and others. Inspiring people to see their greatness and encouraging them to inspire others.

The values that are at the heart of who I am are:

Love for the Human Spirit

Generosity and Inspiration

Freedom of Self Expression

Courage to Play the Game of Life full out

What I can be counted on for is:

To be a source of love and compassion for all.

To be a stand for people being extraordinary and cause them to see the greatest vision they have for themselves.

To rise to the challenges of life with grace and to celebrate the gift that life is.

This is who I am and what you can count on. ~Donna Fedor

Then as your path unfolds you start to see how you can “use your life” to express your passion and purpose.

My Purpose is to inspire people to be an everyday hero, living the greatest vision they have for their lives.

My Vision is that people have the courage to follow their dreams with energy and passion.

My Mission is achieved through running my dream business where I am empowering others though training programs, resources, and live speaking events.

My Legacy, the footprint I will leave on the planet is an Everyday Hero Foundation. The basis of this foundation is inspiration, acknowledging yourself and others, making a difference and self-acceptance.

What your purpose is NOT. It is not to make other people happy.

What relationships are absolutely necessary to drive you forward?

1. Start Strong Strategy- Wake up to what is possible today. Leave behind the troubles of yesterday and look for the positive aspects of what “can be”. A Start Strong Strategy gives you the advantage that you want. It sets your pace for the day.

2. Incorporate fresh new ways of thinking by Re-THINKING. Let go of those familiar judgments, attitudes, and doubtful thoughts as quickly as they show up. As you let them go, new thoughts will show up. You have OPTIONS!

3. You are either upgrading or degrading your self-image. Do one thing right now to improve yourself image. Remember a past success. Forget your past failures

4. Clarity is power. Have the mindset that you will focus on what you want, not the lack of it. Whenever you think of something that you don’t want or the lack of something you want, practice saying in your mind “I know what I don’t want, so what is it that I do want?” Now say it or write it, I want….. This is called Pivoting. Now continue to talk about what you want not the lack of it.

5. Give your personal best. Look for a more empowering point of view. All of your power is right here, in this moment. This is dedication to yourself through always reaching for your best. The more you hone your skills towards improved thinking the sooner you will experience the freedom and power you have to move towards what you want in your career and in life.

Re-THINK! Choose Better Thoughts

Now may be the time to find your true passion and purpose

When is the perfect time to rethink what you are doing with your life? You may have asked yourself something like, “What is my reason for being on the planet?” or “Should I do something more fulfilling with my career?”

Loving what you do, and having complete passion for it will bring you greatest rewards in life. If you currently have a hard time distinguishing between work and play that is a good measure that you have passion for your current career. If not, it is not too late to discover your passion and purpose. You may have a particular gift that you were born with, a talent or specific experience that is inspiring and engaging for you.

People ask me why I chose to become a Results Coach and I can honestly say, “I didn’t choose it…it chose me!” One day it became so abundantly clear, there was a growing urge building inside of me, and I finally said “YES”. You may feel that urge growing inside of you too. Yet, if you are like most people, the fear of making a change can keep you from realizing what your passion and purpose is in life. Only to realize after a few years, the urge still persists.

My passion and purpose is about inspiring people to have the greatest vision they can for their lives. At one point, I gave my life to this purpose by declaring my absolute commitment to spend my life inspiring people. Within about a year, I could see that something was definitely lining up people and events for me. I thank my lucky stars for having the courage to not only listen to that calling and to also to follow it by taking consistent action in the face of the unknown. At the bottom of this article I’ve included the personal declaration that led to my taking a “Leap of Faith”.

For me, I soon understood what the term “Leap of Faith” really meant. I had to believe in myself and have enough passion for my purpose that I was willing to go the distance. That means I had to be “all in”. No matter what!

Before I make it look too easy let’s cover some important points. The process of following your heart can be like going out into the wilderness and “roping in a wild horse”. You will need to be prepared to do the serious work to make your passion your life’s work? You may fail before you succeed. We know how constraining the fear of failure is yet you may not realize that fear of success can be just as tough on you. Are you willing to learn from failure as you figure out how to be successful?

There are many examples in history of famous people not having the best track record on their road to success, yet they went on to be extremely successful. Bottom line, the path to success is filled with surprises, challenges, obstacles, as well as life’s usual twists and turns. Do you have the commitment, determination, and courage to get through them?

When you can look at your life and see that you are truly living your passion and purpose, doors begin to open, people line up and impulses and events become in sync with what is next on your path. Is there something you “should” do? No, it is all for your own fulfillment in life. You may be wondering, “What if I don’t discover my passion and purpose? Keep looking as you focus on what you value most in life. It is never too late to find it!
