As I continue to grow as an adult I’m learning that job searching and interviewing has changed. As I was younger you used to just walk in and interview with a person and they would call you later that week to let you know if you got the job. I should say that some places are still like that. But as you grow you go into bigger industries and the interviews get more challenging.
I never knew that job coaches were a thing till one of my good friends became one. He was at a College as a Counselor and then became a Career Counselor/Job Coach then after he’s been such a blessing to me because he has helped me prepare for more challenging jobs that have better opportunities! He works The Muse and if you ever needed job guidance that’s the place to get it! There is so much information on that website that will help you prepare for your next job/career.
They have worksheets, articles, etc..that will help guide you to your next adventure. I will have to admit that I put this off way too long because I was fearful of change. I was so comfortable in the position I was in that I didn’t want to veer from what I was used to. Now I’m to the point where it’s effecting my livelihood, and God/Universe has made me so uncomfortable in my current job that it’s literally forced me to make a change. Am I nervous? YES! But, I am looking at it in a positive way to get myself out of debt and pay off a few things and to also get ahead in life for once.
Being a single mother is not the easiest thing in the world and learning how to hustle is the game. So, I am learning how to hustle and by my friend teaching me these new interviewing skills I can get a better job to further my career. You see when my husband was alive he was the bread maker. I was the one who I guess you can say had the freedom to have the fun jobs. I was able to change jobs every 5 years. Now that I’m alone I have to be more practical and start thinking about my own future and figure out what I want to do in this life.
I know I have always been drawn to care for people it’s been instilled in me ever since I was little. Now I just need to find where I fit in the Health Care world. It will be a new and exciting adventure for me. I love learning new things. I’m not sure what’s next but I will pray about it and see what comes my way.
