What’s Next? Job Search Questions for Balancing Being
Take a journey to Re(de)fine what balance, harmony, and thriving mean to you - TODAY.
Many of you are going through huge transitions because you or your adulting partner has lost a job unexpectedly. For many of you, these layoffs are creating an extremely difficult set of circumstances in your for you to navigate. For some of you, though, these layoffs have been a blessed wake up call
to seek more intentional alignment between your Business of Work and your Business of Life,
and to figure out how to balance your overall well being. For all of you in job or career transition, I have been where you are. I have asked the questions you are asking.
What should I do now?
What can I do now?
What do I need?
What do I want???
If you haven’t gotten to that phase yet, THAT’S OKAY.
For now, allow yourself to GRIEVE. Grief has stages, and they don’t always announce themselves. Take the time you need.
Once you are ready to start working through your process of transitioning to the next job, opportunity, or career, I’d like to offer some tips. Embarking on a job search can be a challenging process, but it can also be an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
To help you navigate this process, I have compiled a list of questions for you to consider. These questions are designed to encourage you to tap into both your intellect and your intuition, allowing you to make informed decisions while also honoring your emotions.
Yep, that's right. I am going to ask you to consult your feelings as part of this process, and allow your emotions to have a bit more agency and influence.
Sure, feelings may not be facts, but they are real.
Your feelings will demand your attention at some point, so we might as well design them in.
This resource is not intended to be a comprehensive list, but I believe it will create the beginning of a more comprehensive and holistic view than I typically hear from job seekers. Please utilize what resonates with you and leave the rest. Add your own important considerations as well.
Most importantly, create some sacred, uninterrupted space to reflect on these questions and answer them honestly.
Then, consider discussing your answers with trusted individuals such as your adulting partner(s), coaches, therapists, financial advisors, or spiritual advisors. These individuals can offer valuable insights and support as you make decisions that will shape your future.
Remember, the job search process is not just about finding a source of income, but also about creating a life that aligns with your values, passions, and goals.
By being intentional and thoughtful in your approach, you can set yourself up for success and find a fulfilling career that brings you joy and satisfaction.
