Step 1 for Finding your Perfect Job

What's the first thing people do when they find themselves jobless? They dust off their resume and post it online, thinking that's the first step that must be taken immediately. This is very common and I disagree.

Even after being laid off or let go unexpectedly, there's a step that must occur before haphazardly entering the job market - taking time to assess your strengths, skills, and values, along with identifying your absolute must-haves for your next job. This exercise makes you crystal clear on what kind of work you are best suited for and what you are willing and able to accept - location, salary, size of company, benefits, and so on.

Finding the time, locating a quiet place, and simply sitting down with ourselves are challenging tasks to undertake in our busy lives. After working with many clients trying to figure out their next move and running into these challenges, I realized the need for an easy-to-use, accessible guide for this purpose.
