Finding a Job Series – How To Get The Job You Want

Be ambitious. One of the best parts of having a great career strategy, and one which can boost every other part of your strategy, is to be ambitious. Having and displaying ambition is one of the most important qualities you can use. Ambition separates you from all other young graduates, and a big piece of having ambition is knowing where you want to go and doing whatever it takes to get there. Also, where you want to go can even be an immediate short-term goal, something you know you need to reach in order to build upon so you can reach an even loftier goal. Of course, knowing what you want is a hard thing to put your finger on. It takes lots of real life experience, on the job and outside the job, and that experience is something lacking in most new graduates. In the meantime, having a clear vision of the direction you hope to go is good enough, as opposed to the often times desperate move of simply wanting a job just to show that you’re hungry to work.
