Job seeking without a strategy can feel like wandering through fog. Clarity comes from turning broad goals into measurable actions.
Start by defining your target outcome for the next 6–12 months. It might be:
“Secure a full-time position in marketing,” or
“Transition from teaching to corporate learning design.”
Then, reverse-engineer your steps:
What skills or experience gaps must you close?
Which people or organizations could help?
What daily or weekly actions will move you forward?
Create a Career Action Plan with three columns:
Goal – e.g., “Improve LinkedIn profile.”
Actions – “Add media samples, request recommendations, update headline.”
Deadline – A concrete date.
Action Steps:
Set a 90-day roadmap with 1–2 actions per week.
Revisit and adjust your plan monthly.
Celebrate completion of each small milestone.
A strategy doesn’t guarantee control, but it ensures momentum — and momentum is what turns opportunity into reality.
