If I Were You, I Would...
Today I spent the better part of the day preparing for another credential I hope to earn. As I was frantically working away, something my client said the other day kept interrupting my concentration…
You career people seem to have all the answers.
Quickly, I fell back on my good old counseling lines: tell me more about that; say more about that.
Turns out, I am one of several career professionals my client has spoken with. While I am not sure what anyone else offered up, here's my response to her comment:
- Pay attention to self and how you’re doing; nobody knows you better than you
- Listen to your own voice
- Trust your instincts / intuition
- Consult brain and go with gut
- If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it
- When in doubt, don’t
- Use your own filtering system
- Ask yourself, does the information I’m being told make sense, or is it nonsense?
- If 3, 4, or 5 people all say the same thing, then it might warrant your consideration
- In the end, rely on your own good judgment
Do you have all the answers?
