Don't allow your desperate need to find the perfect job lead you take just anything. Regardless as to if you are aiming for the corner Executive Suite or a simple office of your own, begin planning your exit strategy from one position to the next.
Planning your career is much different than finding a simple job. Planning your career is in fact much more gratifying than a job. Plan your career searches to work at companies that need what you do best. A true win-win situation is an employer that has a need that you can fill. It is not a win-win situation when you are in such a need for a job that you take anything out there. Only the employer is winning and using you for your skills. Planning a career or simply finding a job needs to be strategically planned.
The first way to get yourself on a planned career or job search is to make yourself valuable enough to be seen as a problem solver. Don't simply make yourself appear as a job applicant. Identify, understand and establish your professional desires and abilities. Communicate those efforts into a career or job search.
Another way is to find your niche market. Search for opportunities to capitalize on at your current employer or industry. Find solutions for the opportunities. Think like the employer, not an employee or job applicant. Research your niche market and look for solutions.
A third way that may sound repeated is solve the client's problem. Look deep into the markets you know well, are expert in or are nearly expert in. What bridge's the gap between the employer's wants and needs compared to your solutions? The answer to this question is where you find your niche area to problem solve.
Fourth, be sure you understand the employer's needs. Don't think of the potential employer as just that, the employer. Think of them as a client and consider what their needs may be. Who are they? What are their needs? Who do they service? What services do they offer? How can you help your "client" find solutions?
Fifth, how will your ideas solve and be a solution? How better at your niche are you than anyone else? Gather your knowledge and resources.
Sixth, think of yourself of your own organization. Be a marketer, developer of products, customer service representative and a planner. Be exceptional at time management.
Discover and follow your own natural path.
