Imagine driving in a strange place. Many of us have gotten so used to using our GPS or cell phone to guide us through the unknown. Even before these were such an important part of our navigation routine, there were maps and sometimes just directions from a friend.
Why is it easier to get around with any of these? We do better in new territory when we have a partner or coach to get us through.
As I am stepping into this new strange territory, looking for a new position, I am coming to realize just how important it is to have a partner along the way. Having someone that you trust to give you feedback and guidance can be the difference between fumbling with resumes and applications and sending in documents that truly show your strengths. I've never gone through this with other people before. So even though there are 6 of us out there seeking a new place to land, we are supporting each other towards this next step. The competition is real, yet I've never felt supported so much.
When you learn to be a part of great team, you know how to build one and you know that you want to find the same thing. It is strange that I am seeking connections with a solid crew more than the job of my dreams: because that crew is what makes the job the best.
To my team: Thanks for being my Siri on this journey!
