Step #6 Finding Your Next Job
The I-CAP: Your Individual Career Action Plan
Now that you know what job you want and whom you want to work for, it’s time to create your Individual Career Action Plan (I-CAP).
The I-CAP is uniquely designed to help you achieve what you most desire for yourself professionally, personally and financially. The I-CAP maps out your ACTIVE job search putting you in the driver’s seat of your career. Gone is the passive job searching that has you looking online and blindly sending your resumes to employers that reject you. With the I-CAP as your foundation, we begin the job finding process which includes the following:
- Research and discovery of viable industries, salary trends and options for additional training or education.
- Resumes and cover letters are both an amazing opportunity for you to tell the world what is special about you and why any employer would be lucky enough to get you. No gap is too long, and no skill is insignificant.
- Interview preparation is your opportunity to learn how to tell the world who you are and what you have to offer: no apologies, no hiding, only shining. We’ll address wardrobe, etiquette and specific methods to answering the most difficult questions.
- Elevator pitch, your clever 30 and 60 second introduction that tells people who you are and what you want.
- Where the jobs are – and it isn’t on the internet. There is a method to the madness of conducting a successful job search. Believe it or not, the secret is not on Craig’s list or on all the other job boards. You want to get the lead on the job opportunities? You want to be first in line when opportunity knocks? The I-CAP will show you how.
- Salary negotiation skills will save you over one million dollars over the course of your lifetime. Why? Because you don’t know how to ask for what you want and deserve. Knowing your value and asking for what you’re worth are the gifts of learning salary negotiation.
