I am happy to have Kathleen Brady, author of “Get a Job” back on the show. She was on episode 4 back in October 2013. She is the founder of Brady & Associates Career Planners, LLC and Career Services Director at Georgian Court University. Her advice has been nationally shared on news outlets such as CNN, CBS, NPR, FoxNews. Her book, advice and this conversation will get down to it with you finding the job you were called to do, and not what you “should” do.

Do you look for jobs that you “should” take or are you looking for the job you are called to do? I would love to hear your thoughts on this in one of the following three ways:

1) Leave a voice mail or text message at 708-365-9822. Let me know if I can share it on future shows

2) Email me: mark@thevoiceofjobseekers.com
3) Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com and press the “Send Voicemail” button to leave a message online

  • Kathleen rewrote the first chapter of “Get a Job” (first version published in 2013) while keeping her pragmatic approach to worksheets and questions to answer after reflection
  • As career pros, we have an aerial view to guide people in the right way of conducting a job search. The mindset is the common denominator. Job seekers who focus on the obstacles and find it difficult to achieve success. Our role as career pros is to help others focus on a positive mindset and dig deeper with a reflective approach
  • The best way to put changes and improvements into your job search is to use “baby steps.” Trying to take large steps for most job seekers is overwhelming
  • Although “values” have been talked about,  they must be a prime motivator at the core of his or her job search
  • “What do I value?” and “How do I want to show up?” is at the core of finding meaningful work more than the mechanics of the job search such as a resume or cover letter
  • Kathleen also advises job seekers to be careful of what they post on social media. Even in the comments sections of threads such as Facebook discretion must  used
  • Job seekers often prioritize”should” goals, or the path of least resistance rather than what they are called to do or natural gifts
  • Kathleen states that people are better off thinking about their job search goals holistically as it impacts their life goals
  • There are multi-layered career paths now that did not exists years ago. Job seekers need to be realistic and disciplined about his or her choices

    I think this question is just fascinating and reveals so much about the changing job market and competitive landscape. There’s a need to ask this question just because you’re so right – it’s very difficult to choose and understand the two choices in the context of each of our lives. There’s so much more of a need for great talent out there, and it’s vital that we understand ourselves to ask the right questions.

      Hey Kevin,

      Most people don’t want to do the extra research, have more meaningful career conversation, or find out what their peers and competitors are doing. That’s one large reason people don’t get to where they want. Thanks for bringing up this point.
