Well, back in April 2018, I was a Virgo just like you, trying to figure out my career path for that month. I started off with a simple thing – I sat down at my desk and grabbed a pen and a piece of paper.
Step 1: Self – assessment
I began to think about what I was good at. I asked myself, “What skills do I have? What do I enjoy doing?” I listed down all the things I was okay at, like writing and organizing stuff. I also thought about the things I didn’t like, for example, dealing with a lot of numbers. This helped me get a clear picture of where my strengths and weaknesses were.
Step 2: Looking at the industry
Then, I started to look at the industries around me. I checked out the job market trends. I went online and read some news about different industries. I found out that the content creation industry was booming. There were a lot of companies looking for people who could write good content. I thought, “Hey, I can write. Maybe this is something for me.”
Step 3: Setting goals
After that, I set some goals for myself. I said, “I want to get at least two job interviews in the content creation field this month.” It was a clear and doable goal. I also set some smaller goals, like updating my resume by the end of the first week and reaching out to five contacts in the industry by the second week.
Step 4: Taking action
I started to take action right away. I updated my resume. I made it more focused on my writing skills and the relevant experiences I had. Then I started applying for jobs. I sent out my resume to a bunch of companies. I also reached out to my old classmates and friends who worked in the industry. I asked them if they knew any openings or if they could introduce me to someone. A few of them were really helpful and gave me some good leads.
Step 5: Following up
Once I sent out my applications, I didn’t just sit back and wait. I followed up with the companies. I sent them an email a week after I applied, asking if they had received my application and if there were any updates. This showed that I was really interested in the job.
Result
By the end of April 2018, I achieved my goal. I got two job interviews. One of them even offered me a job! It was a great feeling. Planning my career path for that month really paid off. So, if you’re a Virgo in April, don’t be afraid to plan and take action. You might just land your dream job!
