Finding Your Dream Cisco Job Part II – What Is True?
What Is True?
You might want to print this page out.
When I ask you about your beliefs surrounding finding work
as an IT or network engineer I wonder what thoughts come to
mind. What I mean is, what beliefs do you have about what
will happen and what your chances are?
Is it going to be a breeze or almost impossible. Are you a
great candidate which any company would be lucky to have or
are you desperate and will take anything that comes up?
I just want to find out where you are and perhaps challenge
a few beliefs that may not be helping you at the moment so
can you write down a few things you believe to be true about
your quest to find an IT job.
Belief #1
Q. Where did you get this information from?
Q. What if that source was not as reliable as you think or
worse still, wrong?
Q. Is this belief helping or hurting you in your job
hunting quest?
Q. What would a better belief be?
Belief #2
Q. Where did you get this information from?
Q. What if that source was not as reliable as you think or
worse still, wrong?
Q. Is this belief helping or hurting you in your job
hunting quest?
Q. What would a better belief be?
Belief #3
Q. Where did you get this information from?
Q. What if that source was not as reliable as you think or
worse still, wrong?
Q. Is this belief helping or hurting you in your job
hunting quest?
Q. What would a better belief be?
What I want to do here is loosen your model of the world.
The painful truth is that we decide what type of world
we want to see on the inside and project it outside. I
have seen students pass their CCNA with no previous
experience and then walk into a really nice job and then
others never ever get the role they want.
What is that all about? If both have the same qualification
and no IT experience apart from their CCNA prep then what
is the difference that makes all the difference?
See you next time.
