Our refrigerator at home is covered with magnets reminding us of places we have been, service providers we have used and sayings and witticisms that have particular meaning for us. But I never thought they would offer to me insight on what many of my coaching clients go through. Hold two magnets close to each other and the magnetic force from each will repel the other. Move them incrementally closer together and they will lock together with a force as strong as the strongest super bonding glue. So which magnetic force is more indicative of your job search? Are you so repelled by your current situation that any job will do? So enthused and attracted and clear on where you want to be that your strength and dedication will pull you to it and keep you there with a bond that few can break? What role do you want this job to play in your life? Is it something better than what you have now? Is it a rest stop on the way to some final destination? Is it the job you want to stay in forever? Clarity around what you want from your work will bring you closer to creating that lasting bond and landing where you want to be. If you don’t believe me, go ask your refrigerator magnets.
