Goal #2: Get a new consulting job
Description
Looking for a new job during the aftermath of the financial crisis? I have set myself the goal to secure a new job during this challenging time and potentially challenge myself to move in new directions. Before and during the financial crisis I have worked in Australia’s finance industry as an Investment Banking and Funds Management headhunter. For my first job it has been pretty exciting. In the past 2 and a half years I have done everything from rep a Donald Trumps Apprentice show stars to hob nob with some of Sydney’s most successful Investment Banking and Funds Management captains. An area I would really like to move into is change management and remuneration strategy within organisations although I am open to the direction of my next career move.
Smart
Specific : Sign employment contract for new consulting position
Measurable : I will know that I have completed this goal when I have signed a new employment contract.
Achievable : Yes
Realistic : Yes
Timely : 3 months, by Jan 1st
Strategy
So far I am employing two strategies to achieve this goal. The first is to target companies that I wish to work for and develop a proposal targeted to them which explains how I will be of value to them. So far this strategy has yielded 2 interviews with companies I had been really interested in working for. Unfortunately both times I missed out on the role to another candidate however I am confident that If i keep doing this I will eventually secure a role. I may do an article going into detail of how to put together a proposal with the objective of securing a job at a later stage because I think it will be quite helpful to people searching for a particular job.
The second strategy I am employing is the standard tact of applying to job ads online in my case on SEEK.com.au Australia’s largest online job advertiser.
