Beyond Job Search Tactics

By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter

Since starting to write about job hunting many years ago, most of my attention has been directed toward the tactics of finding work. I’ve explored better ways to write a resume, get more interviews, network, interview better, negotiate a higher salary for yourself, work with recruiters, and a host of topics that help people find work.

In addressing these specific topics, I have neglected one subject that it is critical when looking at a job choice.

That topic is whether your work nourishes your soul.

Maybe it’s a sign of my getting older that I realized this gap in my teaching or just inherent wisdom that has been ripening as I have started to become involved.

with life coaching (Keep an eye out for the announcement of “No B.S. Coaching Advice,” the ezine, YouTube Channel, the website and the coaching practice” in the next few months. Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter on Facebook has already been changed).

I believe evaluating your professional choices in the context of your core beliefs and not just money, location and work is important.

Will you be doing work that excites you, fills you, and helps you grow, or is it just “bloodsucking dull?”
