Imagination - Creating Your Ideal Future and Your Ideal Job

By Sandy Prock M.Ed., JCTC, www.ExpertResume.com

Have your considered using your imagination to propel you forward. This is probably not a new concept to you. In fact, no doubt you use your imagination all the time. Tim Hurson, author of “Think Better” talks about using your imagination and all your senses to fuel your motivation to help you move past inertia and on to your next ideal job.

It is normal human behavior to feel inertia with the challenge of change. The question is - how do you get going when you feel temporarily stalled? Imagination - Yes, simple, yet profound. Take time out and imagine every detail of your new ideal job.

• What are your duties? What challenges would you enjoy tackling?

• What is your ideal environment?

• What type of people do you see yourself working with?

• What is your average day like?

• What type of company is your ideal company? Where is the company located?

• Who is your boss?

• What time do you arrive? When do you leave?

• What does it feel like to work in this job?

• Gather and imagine as much detail as possible. Use all your senses when you imagine your future and your ideal job. You get the idea. Brainstorm ideas.

What moves you forward past normal temporary dull feelings of inertia when you face change? Passion. Your imagination and heart create your passion. If you are not feeling excited about something, maybe you are not thinking big enough. Maybe you are not on the right track. Follow your heart and land your ideal job.

I hope this jumpstarts your desire to start re-imagining your future and your new ideal job. Gear up and amp up your motivation with a clear heartfelt vision and imagine your way to your future. Make sure your resume, cover letter and other job search documents pop. This is not the time to skimp.

Bob and I wish you the best in your career development. If you have any questions about your resume, cover letter or other job search documents, please feel free to call Bob.
