Start by doing homework on yourself.This is how you will learn to describe yourself and you can approach multiple job markets. It will help you because you will be able to describe in detail what you are looking for. Try to end up with a picture that you imagine yourself doing and something that will excite you so much that you will approach job market with that picture in your head. Homework allows you to access this valuable information about yourself and you don't have to wait for vacancy at companies. Use a bridge person. These are just all meant to be of your benefit. They allow you to have a inventory on yourself and you can better understand what will make you happy.
This inventory then allows you use the flower organization chart on your self.
This chart allows you to see more visually who you are and the different components of yourself. Also, it allows you to gather, organize, and prioritize like Bolles says we should do. It has seven categories on each petal. Categories consist of my favorite knowledges or fields of interest, my preferred kinds of people to work with, what I can do and love to do (my favorite transferable skills), my favorite working conditions, my preferred salary and level of responsibility, my preferred place(s) to live, and my goal, purpose, or mission in life (Bolles 117). There is definitely more aspects to an individual, but these give a better picture for you in the workplace. Bolles want us to think about each petal in depth. Create notes on your favorite knowledges, these can include information from past jobs, some interests you may have, you outside of work, good ideas and what every will help you narrow down what your favorite field of interest is.
For the second petal, we want to find out who we like to work with. To do this we have to do some more homework. We can create a my favorite people chart. This chart will consist of four columns. The first on will include the place you have work. The second will be people who drove you nuts and third the people you prefer not to have to work with. The fourth will be the people you want to work with. These can be a list of qualities and rank them. You may have to willing to make exceptions in some cases, but find out to help yourself.
The third petal, has to do with what I can do and love to do. We want to find out our transferrable skills. Bolles say that your transferable skills are the most basic unit of whatever career you may choose. Claim the highest skills on the basis of your past performance. Also, the higher your transferable skills, the more freedom you will have on the job. This will mean less competition too. Remember its a skill, not a trait.
The fourth petal is to find out my favorite conditions. We want find the conditions that will make us the happiest and enable you to be most effective. We want to avoid bad experiences. Create a distasteful working conditions charts. It has four columns. The first column, shows the place you have worked. The second, will consist of distasteful working conditions and you will rank these in the third column. In the fourth, give out the conditions that you could work under.
The fifth petal talks in terms of preferred salary and level of responsibility. You want a realistic picture of what you want to earn at whatever job you find. Money is important because we need to pay for what we need. Also, happiness is very important. We need to find a job that makes up happy. Find out what level you would like to work at-- whether it be CEO or manager oh whichever. Know what salary you are aiming. What do you believe you are worth and what do you need. Create a expense chart on what you will have to pay for. This may help you figure out your salary.
Think about your preferred place to live. Create a picture in your head of the ideal place you would like to live. You can make a geographical preferences chart. This will include 4 columns. The first will be the places you have lived already. The second will be the negatives from the places you have live and the third you will translate the negatives to positives. The fourth will be the ranking of the positives.
Last, The seventh petal talks about your favorite interests and knowledges. Find out what these are by exploring what it is that you really like to do. Explore past things you have done also. These will help you with your ultimate goal. Put this chart all together and figure what job will be fit you.
