Your Dream Job – How To Find It
Dream job? With all the change happening who has a chance of finding it? Or, because of all the change, my view is, most of us have had time to think and recognize what it looks like. Meanwhile, the agency and client world recognize the virtual and flexible working has arrived to stay.
YOUR Dream Job – What you need to consider
‘What do you want to experience? In which environment do you best thrive? And, what impact do you wish to have. All underpinned by, how do you see your continued growth?
YOUR Dream Job – Organisational considerations
Avoid short termism – Where culture struggles to develop, investment in training and development is less likely, new business pitching is over the top, job security is tenuous because the focus is on short term profit.
Pursue a people focus – People are not simply talked about in cred’s as the most important part of the business, they are! There’s a flexible approach to working, diversity, mat/paternity leave, training, and a focus on building clients versus massive new business pitching.
YOUR Dream Job – Go off-piste
Don’t look simply to shiny oft talked about names but broaden your chances of finding the dream by understanding the following:
– Focus on agencies where there are established/great client relationships;These are where trust is established and where great work is/has/or is ready to happen.
– Most if not all businesses, if they’ve been around for a while, have one if not more great client relationships. Identify them, not necessarily the agencies. chances of finding your dream job.
– Your success requires a handful of people – Focus your search on knowing you need possibly 4 or 5 great people around you to excel. Many agencies/brands that you’ve never heard of have these 4 or 5 people. Have this mindset and you’ll broaden your dream job.
Finally, we have plenty of other ideas but most important, we pomise to be good listeners for you.
Cheers, SPARKIN
