The Most Important Mindset for Job Hunting

A great deal of career advice, while given with the best of intentions, is often not evidence-based.

Are you currently job hunting? Recent research broke down the data which showed the single most powerful mindset that led to finding your dream job was to be proactive about your job search with ongoing learning and professional development. We recommend you take control of your own development by proactively finding training opportunities to increase and strengthen your knowledge, skills, and abilities. You could do so by attending training courses or gathering micro-credentials that support your knowledge and skills.

Take your job search into your own hands

Develop a self-directed mindset, which means a person assumes full responsibility for their own career path and development, rather than relying on others.

However, the exploration of what it means to direct your own career, to identify your passions, to discover what kind of work renews or depletes your energy, is often best done in company!  At Calgary Career Hub, we do what we do best : help you along the way. The perspective provided by a Career Advisor keeps you focussed on your goals and ensures that you are supported through the highs and lows of a job search or career pivot journey.
