Discovering Your Next Career Move in 6 STEPS
Something inside of you wants to change and evolve into the next best version of yourself. You are seeking a better job, new challenges, healthier relationships, more money.
The desire to transform is there but the process in which to make that happen, is not.
Work is one of the most important, fundamental aspects of our lives and yet, we were never taught how to manage our careers in practical, effective ways that keep us resilient and employable.
TheSTEPSCareerSystem has been crafted to provide those seeking professional transformation with a Career Management System that marries authentic inquiry with a tactical approach that answers the following questions simply and effectively:
- “What is my next job or career?”
- “What are my transferable skills?”
- “Who do I want to work for and who will want to hire me?”
- “How do I get promoted into my next best professional position?”
- “What is the best resume for my career choice?”
- “How do I manage my professional social media from emails to LinkedIn?”
- “How do I prepare for interviews and negotiate my salary?”
- “How do I find true job security?”
- “How can I make money, doing the work I love?”
The STEPS Career System Is The Answer
Here’s how the STEPS process works: Sherry is by your side through this entire process. We meet either face-to-face or through video conferencing. This is a collaborative effort between the two of us. Each meeting we will cover a section of the STEPS process followed by a homework assignment that moves you along throughout the process.
STEP 1: S- Skills:
True job security is possible when you understand yourself not as a “job title” but rather as a functional skill base that can ebb and flow with supply and demand. The “Skills” exercise is designed to take a full and complete inventory of the skills you have acquired throughout your lifetime.
STEP 2: T- Themes:
This simple exercise reveals your primary interests and desires. To find true career success, your themes should be prevalent in all aspects of your life, especially your work.
STEP 3: E- Experience:
What is the experience you want to have at work? How do you want work to feel? Are you an introvert who requires private time? An extrovert that wants to be surrounded by people? Are offices claustrophobic and cubicles freeing? The answers to these questions helps to clarify your next employer, industry and position.
STEP 4: P- Parameters:
These are the practicalities of life. Money, commute, family, health, all need to be part of the equation in order to have work-life harmony
STEP 5: S-Service:
Your “why” of work, your inspiration for success. Research shows time and again that people cannot be motivated externally. True success is imminent when you understand the “service” of your work and how your contributions impact life.
