If possible, have someone else read your resume. It’s always helpful to have another person read your resume who will offer you an objective opinion. The feedback will be helpful for you in fine tuning your resume.

If you don’t feel you can write your own resume, you can always hire a professional resume writing service to do it for you. A really good resume service will help you in assessing your skills and abilities so they can write a resume that will accurately represent you and your qualifications.

By doing this you are starting to create a picture of where you want to go next. Now you will start to get thoughts, ideas, circumstances people and events that will support what you want. Thinking about your don’t wants just invites more of same. Client experience has also shown that as soon as you start to put your attention on what you do want, you inevitably start saying one word more often than not…”BUT”.

A sure fire way to stay where you are is to put your attention on what you don’t want and when you do think about what you do want, negate it immediately with “but…”. “I want a short commute, but I’ll never find job I want close to home.” You know what? You’re right because you won’t take another step to find it.

Eliminate “but” from your vocabulary when it comes to putting your attention on what you want. Simply replace it with, “I will need to…”.

-“I want a short commute, but I will never find job I want close to home” becomes “I want a short commute. I will need to search for a job I want closer to home.”

When you use word “but” you hit a wall. You don’t’ take another step because you don’t’ see another step. When you replace it with, “I will need to…” now you have a project, a next step.

If you really want to create work that satisfies you, then start putting your attention on what you do want and stop using word “but”.

Taking these two simple steps will get you moving and into a career that really satisfies you faster then you can say, “but I’ll never find a career that really satisfies me.”
