Making Decisions
As an adviser for eCareerCenter.com, I routinely work with clients who are making decisions. There are decisions for what career direction to go in, what the resume should look like, what websites they should routinely visit, what additional services they need, should they accept a job they really aren't sure if they will like, and many more. All these questions require a decision to be made whether immediately or within a certain period of time.
Many times the individual will ask a spouse or friend or associate for their advice. This can help but many times going to someone with this level of problem can leave you with many different answers. This variety of answers can get a person "swirling" in their mind over what to do. This swirling is when someone gets confused on what to do and that confusion takes over their way of making decisions.
It is tornado season in some parts of the country. Tornadoes typically don't just show up without much warning. Many times weather systems collide and conditions are ripe for a tornado. Before the collision and formation of a tornado, you can see a building up of these weather conditions. The sky gets dark, temperatures drop, winds start to swirl, etc. This building up to a tornado is similar to what people go through when making decisions within their job search.
The tornado is similar to the term I mentioned earlier "swirling". Job seekers can get wrapped up in all the activities as well as the ups and downs that they forget the basics or facts. The basics or facts are why it is important to develop goals and a plan for your search. If a question comes up about a resume, ask yourself if the resume is going to get you to your predetermined goal. If a question comes up of should you take a lower level job, as yourself if it meets any of your most important goals.
This checking system for decisions is very important. If you can self govern your own decisions to what you have predetermined with the goals you make, your decisions will be easier to make. Don't fret so much over a decision. Decision are meant to be tough. Also keep in mind that even if you make a bad one, you will learn from your mistake for future reference. Go make decisions the right way!
