Focus on the things you want, not the things you are not happy with
Growing your career more strategic and breaking the traditional roadmap
Following your excitement in your career
Graduating from College – Now what?
Get away from the concept of having a "purpose," because you do not have to figure out whom you are going to be when you turn 50 – Today
It is OK to be more general – do not focus on one job title
Figure out what you are good at and what your strengths are
Getting creative, especially during the Covid crisis
Finding positions that will allow you to utilize the skills that you enjoy
Breaking your strengths out to define your path
Asking peers, professors, and the previous boss' what are your strengths
Starting with your strength and doing an inventory will guide you on how to get started
Doing your research to make sure companies can offer you what your strengths are
Pair your strengths based on the situation and the role
Sometimes your strengths fit the organization but not the role
Steps to doing an inventory
Working around your weaknesses – However, try to avoid roles where the role focus is on a weakness that you have
Try to focus on your strengths – not your weaknesses – you get more ROI if you put your focus on strengths
Knowing what you are not good at could help mitigate risk
Searching for a role – create 2 or 3 nonnegotiables and beyond that be flexible
Do not just apply unless you plan on keeping track of everything you used for
Does the role sound exciting? Limit your applications to roles that get you excited
Avoid the path of least resistance
During Covid – if you have to take a job that doesn't pay what you want, use this time to figure out what your next path will be after Covid
