Assessing Your Situation<br />

Evaluation<br />

Whatever your situation is, whatever your<br />

motivations are for committing to I Got Hired,<br />

you have started a journey, a period of change<br />

and like it or not, it IS going to affect your life<br />

and the lives of those around you. With a little<br />

planning and management, this is a good thing.<br />

To help you through this process thoroughly,<br />

make sure you use the I Got Hired ‘Situation<br />

Analysis Checklist’ which has been carefully<br />

designed to help you assess and understand<br />

the impact of your situation on you, your family,<br />

your friends and your surroundings. It will help you understand<br />

just what you are going to need in order to be successful.<br />

Before you dive into the job pages and start firing off copies of your resume, take a look at your<br />

situation and ask yourself:<br />

• y What impact will my job hunt, or even not having a job, have on my mental well-being,<br />

my finances, my self-esteem, my family and my friends?<br />

• y What kind of support and help will I need?<br />

• y How will my new situation, my new project, impact on my life?<br />

• y What resources will I need?<br />

• y How do I make the time to do this properly?<br />

• y What is going to stop me doing this properly?<br />

• y How am I going to stay positive, no matter what?<br />

• y Am I going to be a good person to be around?<br />

• y How can I make myself a good person to be around?<br />

• y How can I still deliver on all my other responsibilities to my friends and family?<br />

This is a key process to go through and will create a basis for your job hunt that will pay<br />

dividends, allowing you to view your situation objectively and from a variety of perspectives –<br />

always helpful when the pressure mounts!<br />
