People head straight for problems when they fail to have a clear vision for their career, fail to define important values, and fail to clearly know career expectations. So, what is a vision and how does it affect your job search?
Vision
The term “vision” has become a haggard cliché. It can mean everything or nothing. It is often used to describe the high-level objectives leaders want to achieve, and, other times, is actually a mission statement. Often these are but slogans or lists of desired objectives or “values” that are put up on the wall and left on tables in the lobby, but do not impact behaviors and attitudes.
A vision is a vibrant mental image that depicts your view of the desired future state of the organization in an inspiring way. It is not a statement of mission, a set of objectives, or a list of values. It is a word picture of what will be seen, heard, and felt when the organization fulfills that mission, and achieves results. It’s about the culture, environment, and values. If it’s not inspiring, then it’s not a vision.
Unfocused Vision
Without a clear vision, candidates create a vacuum of understanding and connection with interviewers that undermines their effectiveness. Why? Because most interviewers judge actions and words closely and critically, hunting for signals of direction, purpose, motives, and, especially, for the answer to “who is this person?” Job candidates begin down the path to failure when they do not gain control of their own career objectives. The result is not effectively getting their messages across, shaping a job plan, or gaining the confidence of those in a position to judge results of their job candidacy. Career objectives need to be clear to the job candidate and presented in both the candidate’s professional resumes and job interviews
Fulfilling Your Vision
To create momentum, you must make some quick successes. By the end of the first six months, at the most, you must have made substantial progress in addressing your job’s most pressing problems. This means marshaling resources to focus on issues that meet three criteria: clearly defined assessment of financial needs, consciously address issues that employers understand to be important, and strive to make it to the next step in the process.
Vision in the Job Search
Job candidates secure early successes in job interview process by identifying problems that can be tackled in a reasonable period of time and whose solutions result in tangible improvements in performance. They can supplement these points in their professional resume when identifying skills and creating an objective. Job interviewees should focus attention on the few key issues that are central. In doing this, they seek to get results, set the right tone, and energize their candidacy.
