If you are motivated enough to achieve something, you WILL succeed.
If you want something badly enough, so much so it occupies your mind every day, you will take the plunge, you will ask, you will make that call, you will write that letter, you won’t give up, you will pursue your goal with all your heart and soul.
When it comes to career progression or job search, you need to take a more measured approach ensuring that your pursuit is not just about you and your wants, needs, career, or future desires otherwise you might come across as desperate and put the other party off.
So how can you channel your motivation towards influencing your career progression or job search?
- Do your homework and research the role / organisation – do you match their needs, are the company’s values congruent with your values?
- Sell yourself positively and professionally, always focused on addressing their needs before your own.
- Tell them ‘what’s in it for them’ – what you can bring to the organisation, how you can benefit them.
What’s the worst that could happen? What have you got to lose? If they say ‘no’ that’s their choice and indeed their prerogative. But if you never try, you will never know and hey, they might say ‘YES’!
