Comments on: How I Landed my Dream Job, And You Can Too http://www.adaringadventure.com/guest-posts/how-i-landed-my-dream-job-and-you-can-too/ Life Coaching with Tim Brownson Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:43:23 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tumblemoose http://www.adaringadventure.com/guest-posts/how-i-landed-my-dream-job-and-you-can-too/#comment-6086 Tumblemoose Sat, 14 Feb 2009 15:05:37 +0000 http://www.adaringadventure.com/?p=2090#comment-6086 Glen, At 48, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. What I can say is that whenever I've developed a passion for something, I immerse myself in the topic and can spend days gathering information. This has also held true for any job I've decided to go after. And that is part of the key to this. Don't wait for the job to come to you - get involved and interactive. Thanks for the words o' wisdom, Glen. Cheers George Tumblemooses last blog post..<a href="http://tumblemoose.com/who-reads-your-writing/" rel="nofollow">Who reads your writing?</a> Glen,

At 48, I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.

What I can say is that whenever I’ve developed a passion for something, I immerse myself in the topic and can spend days gathering information. This has also held true for any job I’ve decided to go after. And that is part of the key to this. Don’t wait for the job to come to you – get involved and interactive.

Thanks for the words o’ wisdom, Glen.

Cheers

George

I could give you some excuses but you probably don't care ;-) I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thanks to Glen for a great article. I know it's not written how I normally write, but it's good to have a different take from time to time and he is a lot more sensible than me! Thanks also for the comments and making him welcome and if you haven't I'd urge you to check his site out. Firstly I apologize for bailing out after this post went live.

I'm the same, no 9-5, no stocks, no retirement plan. I'll sort those out when I'm in my ideal situation ;) @Nina - Great, inspiring others is one of the three things in life I focus on the most. No matter how long something takes, you're going to live through that time anyway, make that time productive! :) @Colleen - Thanks, I'm glad it helped you @Laurie - Thank you!

Who you know can make all the difference in the world. You give great advice here Glen. As a teacher, I got my first teaching job by subbing. It was a way to get to know people and show them how competent I was. Developing relationships is extremely important. Who you know can make all the difference in the world.

I've been undecided and worried about life after college, especially preparing resumes, getting ready for interviews and even finding certain careers.

I've allowed myself to stagnate through the years falling back on "well, my kids come first" but I realize some of that was just self-sabotaging on my part. I could have easily kept up with at least my skills through those years. Now I'm playing catch up at a time when things are tough all over. I always did like a challenge!
