My business and passion over the years has centred around helping people achieve their career goals. This would range from helping people get started and the chance to clock up much needed experience to selectively refining the high end of career to play to strengths, so they thrive in their working time.
Throughout each stage of this ‘career spectrum’ I’ve spoken with thousands of people; I’ve helped many and shared my expertise. One common denominator is that every candidate — and future employee — is doing everything they can to obtain investment in them.
· A chance to get your foot in the door!
· A 100k or 200k+ job?
· A chance to do what you love for a living?
To have a chance at any of these roles requires investment in yourself. After all, how would you expect any business to back you with the money, time and responsibility if you’re not backing yourself?
Which begs the question…
Do you invest in yourself?
· Have you found the right path?
· Are you still relying on free CV templates and free advice?
· Have you taken any steps to make you stand out from the crowd?
If the answer is no, then…
How can you expect anyone else to invest in you?
Think about it from a business perspective. What they invest into an individual is massive. So, if you’re not willing to put more time and money into your career, you simply can’t expect any return on your investment.
And you certainly can’t expect a business to invest in you.
Which means you can’t expect to land the role you’re chasing, whether it’s ‘A foot in the door’, ‘A 100k or 200k+ job’ or ‘A chance to do what you love for a living’.
The biggest investment in your lifetime is your career. It significantly trumps a mortgage. If it were stocks and shares you wouldn’t think twice about using an expensive financial adviser or stockbroker — with no guarantees of success!
Then why wouldn’t you spend some time on yourself to establish the best investment for you? When you are the one that’s in control of how well the investment performs!
Why would you not consider a career coach to make your LinkedIn and CV do its job for you?
Topuniversities.com state that in “2018 the average amount spent on tuition fees by international postgraduates was AU$31,596”. It’s mind blowing that such a big investment is made in knowledge obtainment yet the very same people are reluctant to invest even a few hundred dollars learning how to effectively prepare themselves to enter the workforce!
