JJ Howard & Associates Is Open for Virtual Appointments

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. - March 26, 2020 - PRLog -- Are you stuck at home? Now is a great time to reflect upon your career trajectory and to design a new strategy to meet your career goals. Spring is a time of renewal and a time to commit to using your God-given talents to their fullest. Is it time to invest in YOU? Strategy sessions are available and can be conducted from the comfort of your home or business via the telephone, Zoom, or Skype. When was the last time you updated your resume or LinkedIn profile? My team and I can help with that too.

Howard reminds us that graduation season is right around the corner. "The job market will be flooded with new applicants ready to accept an offer. As a seasoned professional, you will want to ensure your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile stand out among a hungry sea of applicants. Still, most importantly, you will want to know your value."

Jaynine's Tips for Career Trajectory Reflection

1.       Create a quiet block of time and silence your phone. Grab a pencil and paper and begin to write your thoughts. Make time to make YOU a priority.

2.       Think about what brings you joy, and what is a source of contention. Make a large T on a sheet of paper. On the left side of the T, begin listing the things you will no longer tolerate on the job. Then on the right side, list the things that bring you joy. This exercise will help you clarify your next job search.

3.       Know your value. Do a job search and then search the Bureau of Labor Statistics and see what others in your field or industry are earning. How does your current paycheck stack up? Be prepared to be asked, "What is your salary requirement." When you know your value, you will avoid accepting jobs that keep you earning less than what employers are paying others who have the same skillset.

Jaynine and her Dream Team know this is a very stressful time for many, but cautions, "If you are job hunting, be on your best behavior online. You never know who is watching what you post. It may be someone with a hot lead – or even better – your next employer."
