Get The Job You Really Want: …In A Post-Pandemic World

In this workbook-style manual, Della Judd leads you through her in-depth coaching process. She takes you on a journey of self-reflection as you dig deep into what you REALLY want to be doing right now. She starts by exploring why you might want a new role and shows you how to get really focussed on your search so that you don't just jump from the frying pan into the fire! Della shares her own story and uses a variety of exercises and case studies to help you explore your own thinking and make decisions about what you really want. You'll be able to: - Understand your values and what drives you - Reflect on your work-life balance, what it is and what you want it to be - Visualise what your dream role really looks like - Focus your job search for maximum effect and least effort - Build your confidence so you can be your best self at interview The pandemic hit us all for six when it landed in 2020. By March, most of the world was in a lockdown situation. At first there was shock, panic (panic buying of many toilet rolls), worry and fear. Then, slowly, as we started to get used to this enforced period of staying at home without a commute, of spending more time with our families, of focussing on the things that really mattered, we started to question what had gone before. Why were we living in this rat race of commuting, of racing out of the door to pick up our kids, of presentism, trying to prove that by being in the office for longer hours we were somehow achieving more? Why were we spending more time with our colleagues than with our families? Why not get a dog and get outside for our daily exercise? Why not take up that hobby with the two hours that would normally be spent on the packed 18.03 out of Euston? Why not indeed? And then when the 'return to office' plans started to emerge different businesses had different approaches. Some said, 'Work where you like - we trust you', some said, 'We'd like you back in the office because we can see the benefits of collaboration, but you can choose what works', and others said, 'We want you back in, we want to see you, we want you back in on these days, no matter what'. And suddenly there was a realisation that perhaps we didn't all want to work how our organisations were telling us to work. Perhaps we didn't want to go back. Perhaps we wanted to go forward with some new way. Certainly, the reflection time that the last two years have provided has given many of us space to think, time to breathe. Time to wake up and smell the coffee. Time to focus on what we really want in life and from work. We have seen how a hybrid, more flexible approach to work can be. We've seen it, we've lived it and many of us have liked it. Whatever your reason for looking for a job you really want, there are choices out there. There are more choices than before - as businesses start to rework their recruitment strategies, look at their benefits packages and focus on culture as a major driver for retention.
