Take Action

"Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball." Billie Jean King

One sure way to achieve your goals, to realize your dreams, is to get started!

Get your job search house in order.

Visualize your desired, your ideal, job and worklife. Identify what aspects of that job are important to you and picture the actual work place. If you have a difficult time imagining any of this, consider working with a career counselor. JVS offers career counseling services. To learn more, go to www.jvsdet.org or contact me directly at wtarrow@jvsdet.org.

Learn how to ride your job search emotional roller coaster. The ups and downs are, and will, certainly be there. So find ways to survive, maybe even enjoy (and even get a picture afterward...:-)), the ride. Seek out support and use your personal network. If you are having a hard time and need help in finding support, please contact me by email or call me at 248.233.4231. I can also provide you with a list of area job seeker support and networking groups.

Prepare your marketing materials. Again, if you need help with your resume, your cover letters, your personal card, portfolio and the like, get in touch with me.

Have a plan and put it into motion. Assemble your job search team, use any and all resources at your disposal. And, regardless of how and where you are stuck, contact me to help get you unstuck.

"Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action." Benjamin Disraeli
