Top 3 Intangible Priorities
“When you are clear, what you want will show up in your life, and only to the extent you are clear.” –Janet Attwood
The first phase of readying yourself for a job search entails getting clear about what your ideal preferences are. In other words, what do you want in your next career adventure?
In my first book, What You Need To Know To Get A Job Now!, I suggest a great exercise to gain this level of clarity. It starts with a simple question, which actually has 3 layers to it.
The question: What intangible factors must be present in your next job to attract you and keep you happy?
Another helpful version of this question: What will make you get up out of bed everyday excited to go to work?
By the way, popular intangible factors include things like a culture that offers work/life balance, the challenge of the work involved, the management style of the supervisor, etc. Unlike tangible factors such as money, benefits, location, schedule, etc., intangible factors are defined individually according your own personal preferences. For example, if you told me that what is most important is that you work in a good environment, you and I would have different ways to describe what each of us would consider a good work environment.
