New York City Career Counselor & Career Coach
Dear Career Changer,
If you're like other professionals I help every day...
* You want to discover the best career choice for you
* You need an action plan and some guidance to make your career change as fast and easy as possible
I invite you to keep reading because I am going to share some key advice that you can use to start moving forward today...
..... so have a career and job that you look forward to going to each morning.
But before I get into that in a moment, let me tell you how I know these strategies can work for you.
The key principles shown on this page have been taught by the world's leading authorities on career transitions. As a certified career coach...
I have used these strategies to help more than 1,000 people get clear on the right career direction for them....
And I have supported their career transitions to new positions.
Five Key Principles & Strategies to
Identify & Land Your Ideal Job
Strategy 1: Be Genuinely Inspired
Many people "push" themselves to succeed at work.
Pushing works well for some people... usually for some period of time.
But when we run into a big obstacle at work - or a series of small ones - it usually takes a lot of pushing to get past them.
That can be exhausting... especially if you are not in the right career for you.
That's why pushing ourselves at a job is typically a recipe for frustration.
Wouldn't it be easier... and better... if we felt pulled forward effortlessly to our success?
There are many natural pulls in your life - things that genuinely inspire you, increase your energy, and empower you to be your best.
Choose work that aligns with these natural pulls in your life... like your personal interests... and you'll create a "vacuum effect" that pulls you forward effortlessly.
You'll have more energy at work and home. You'll be more creative. You'll feel fulfilled. And you'll be more successful.
Strategy 2: Put Your Personal Strengths and Innate Talents to Work
As a career coach and career counselor based in New York City, I've watched many talented people fall into the trap of worrying about their 'weaknesses' and lack of 'required' experience.
This is a form of damage control that can prevent failure.
But placing too much focus on our weaknesses increases self-doubt, saps our energy and kills self-confidence.
While you don't want to ignore your weaknesses, during your search for your ideal work focus your attention on what will net you the best return...
Identify your best skills, natural abilities, and personal strengths... and identify career opportunities that use them frequently.
The benefits of using this strategy are substantial. You will...
- Experience a dramatic increase in your self-confidence
- Conduct your job search smarter and more effectively
- Do your best easily and consistently during job interviews.
Use this strategy to identify your ideal work, optimize your job search, and maximize your potential to feel fulfilled and enjoy your new job!
Strategy 3: Eliminate What Stops You From Moving Forward
It's possible there will be obstacles on the road to transitioning to your ideal job... especially during a recession like this one.
Some of the obstacles you'll face might be external - such as a changing job market and economy. Other obstacles might be internal, like self-doubt about getting the job you really want.
Some people try to ignore, deny or avoid the internal and external obstacles that are on their path to career success. That approach just doesn't work.
Sooner or later these obstacles show up and we get frustrated or stuck... and we give up.
To get your ideal job faster and with less struggle...
Recognize what holds you back from identifying and landing the work you really want to do... and develop effective strategies to get past them.
But here's an important tip....
As a career coach and career counselor, I've watched many people develop strategies that deal with the wrong obstacle... they deal with the "apparent" obstacle instead of the real obstacle.
Here's a simple example: If a house plant has brown spots on its leaves, we know to focus our solution on the real, underlying problem... such as giving the plant more water or sunlight.
Yet when it comes to dealing with the challenges on our path to getting our ideal job, people typically focus on solving just the "apparent" obstacle (which is like giving water or nutrition to just the dying plant leaf)... so we get stuck or have much less success than we are capable of.
Make sure you have insight into the real, underlying cause of obstacles on your path to success... so you can develop effective strategies to identify and land your ideal job.
Strategy 4: Have a Smart Plan of Action to
Get Your Ideal Job
Without the right action plan... people drift like a rudderless ship... and never reach their desired destination.
A smart "Job Search Action Plan" guides you step-by-step to get from where you are to where you want to be... faster and easier.
As a coach and counselor who has helped many career changers land their ideal position, I recommend that you use at least five alternative job search strategies to create the most opportunity to land YOUR ideal job.
For each alternative, consider...
- Does it use your personal strengths and skills so you can make progress faster and easier?
- What obstacles are you likely to encounter and what strategies can you use to eliminate them?
- What appropriate risks will you need to take - and how do you minimize them?
- What ideas, tools, guidance and support will you need to succeed?
Be thorough here - many people fail to land the job they really want because they don't use the right job search strategies.
The Fifth Surefire Strategy to
Discover Your Ideal Job & Get It Now
Another thing I've learned as a career coach in New York City, as well as during twenty years of study of achievement and personal trial and error is that...
If all it took to achieve the results we want is knowledge of the principles of successful career transitions...
Then many more people would have their ideal job already.
As a career coach and counselor who has supported the career changes of hundreds of professionals, managers and executives, I believe it is vital to...
Strategy 5: Have a Qualified Ally to Assist, Guide and Support Your Job Change & Search.
To identify the right work for you and land your ideal job, use a qualified partner with these traits and abilities...

- Helps you evaluate your work and life experiences, interests, innate abilities, and skills
