I Want A Job!

Do you sometimes just want someone to give you a job... Do you feel let down and can't dare the thought of yet another job application for a vacancy that quite frankly sounds like something from movie about jobs during the recession? Do you feel that the employers are taking atvantage of you and the current Job market situation?

The solution?
Here is an action plan to make some changes in your life!

Update your skills: If you truly have little or no skills, then it is time to get skilled. If you are currently unemployed, is any work better than no work? If you said yes, then you can get away with on the job training and even look at an apprenticeship or internship. If this is not for you then you may want to pursue the route of acquiring skills via the formal or informal routes. Either by getting hold of good quality training material or attending some good training cources.

Sell yourself: What do you do better than other people out there? What makes you think you can do the job better than someone else? If you become despondent at these questions because you really do not think you have what it takes, then maybe you don't (see step one above). Alternatively, if you know some one that is excessively annoying in the sense that they always describe the mundane with utmost gusto, you may learn from such a person. Think of the last mundane thing that such a person has described and try and use that as an analogy to a single capability you possess. Maybe you can actually approach that person and ask them to describe your skills and abilities and see what they turn you into! Likely someone you do not recognise.

Take Action: Set yourself a plan and get it going. As the saying goes, "don get angry, get even!" Set yourself some goals that will help you get to the job you always wanted and stop procrastinating. Whether it is to obtain new skills, update your CV or just to go out there and and go get that job, just thinking about it is not going to get it done!
