I can say that my key take ways for the week, regarding career search/change can be resumed in two quotes by the late Jim Rohn (one of America's foremos Business Philosopher which unfortunately past way last December):
- "Don't bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don't feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace."
- " We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time to bring value to the market place,but we get paid for the value, not the time".
Moving forward, it is getting clearer that I need to accelerate my decision making process regarding the industries I would like to work. For the time being I just know that it will be in Portugal and most definitely in the financial area... let's work/think on it, and see...
Great quote and very true! It's all about the value add. The job market is unforgiving to those who are "job beggars". Once you have a clear understanding of what you can offer to a company or to the market, you'll be very successful. Keep moving forward with your self-analysis and market analysis.
