Task: Write Your Ideal Job Description

Next, let’s make it rain!

You have seen job postings, probably several posting.Today, you are going to write one.

You are going to write a 10 to 15 line job description that matches your “ideal” job.

• First 5 lines – Describe the nature of the job and the company, product.
• Lines 6 to 10 – Job Responsibilities and Requirements (use bullet points here)

Why 3 writing exercises to start the challenge:

Job Search takes time and effort. You should clearly know what you are applying, what is your ideal job and where do you want to go with your life.

Do you think NASA would be able to launch a spacecraft without knowing where the shuttle will be located in space at this exact point in time in the future? No, they can’t and they will not. Then why should you be flying blind with your career?

For NAFSA failure is not an option, but you can choose to fail today and pick-up tomorrow. But, if those days add up quickly, you have graduated, no job in hand and forced to find consultants.

Task 2: 10 More Employers

This should be pretty easy.

Go to Indeed.com or LinkedIn job search portal.

For your zip code or nearby major city, find top 10 employers that you wanted to work by looking a current posting.

Don’t browse the job openings.

Only make a note of their Name and add it to the list.

That’s it for today.
