HOW TO GET YOUR DREAM JOB - 4 MAJOR STEPS

  Lets get a job now

We can't all the entrepreneurs. If everyone is an entrepreneur, who would be the employees? besides, not everyone has what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Unlike most of my other posts, this post is for the great people who are more productive working in a corporate setting.

Just like every great achievement in life starts with a vision and a plan, so does getting that dream job. The principles you're about to learn are not principles for getting just any job, they are principles for getting your dream job.

We have probably heard of some professionals who switch jobs as often as they want because they have built an irresistible repetition. It all started from somewhere.

To get your dream job, you should ask yourself these questions;

• What company/companies do I want to work? 
• For how long would I work there?
• What position would I hold there?
• What legacy would I leave behind there? 

Upon answering these questions, you're ready to get your dream job.

When you determine your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of company, you then go on company survey.

The purpose of this survey is to find the loop holes in the services the company offers and determine how you can add value to the company.
Having this properly figured out, build yourself into an arsenal that would help your dream company succeed.
This could be in form of learning skills, disciplining yourself to be able to do certain things you wouldn't do ordinarily, training yourself or even having others train you. It could also be in the form of getting additional certifications and qualifications and know how to effectively implement what you've learnt.

Now that you're that value adding arsenal your dream company cannot resist, compose your CV to feature those additional skills your dream company lacks or needs; you can also attach a write-up or document of your personal achievements or proposed solution to certain problems you feel the company is facing.
Of course, be careful not to give all your ideas, lest you shoot yourself in the leg.

Approach the company to summit your CV, whether or not they are hiring.
You can either do this by going to the company and submitting your CV to the HR officer or by booking a meeting with a top official in the company, AMD OR MD if possible, and sell yourself to them.
Remember you're there to offer value and not to negotiate price or sell yourself.

Since you might not have any relevant working experience, this might not work.
However, to prove to yourself and the company that you really want to add value and not after just the money, you can apply for internship and work yourself till your value is noticed and leveraged upon.
Internship might be without salary, don't be dismayed- You have a vision.

If you are really adding value to the company and they can't do without your services, its only logical for you to be offered a job.

You should not forget what legacy you plan to be known for.
In every office setting, take it or leave it, everyone is always known for something, be it gossip, farting, over eating, lateness, talkative etc.
Choose your legacy wisely as this would speak for you most especially in your absence or in your time of less productivity or challenge.
Your legacy could be Innovative genius, God fearing, hardworking, Early to work, etc.
Even as an intern who earns little or nothing, a legacy is expected of you, and you either form your legacy intentionally or unintentionally.

You should also know  when to ask for a salary raise and when to resign.
Except if your vision is to become the Managing Director, don't spend too much of your time in that company after you have achieved your goal there. You could begin to get redundant and loose value.

Expose yourself to challenges and always keep improving yourself, whether or not you're jobless.

The key is to keep yourself productive and busy, keep doing, don't stop doing. Also, don't let money be your primary target, money is good, but money can never bring you complete satisfaction.
Remember, when the value you add supersedes the amount you charge, you become invaluable.
