beliefs about work and recognize that ―in many cases your beliefs are what brought you

to where you are today.‖ You may have been raised to think that women were best at

nurturing and caring and, therefore, should be teachers and nurses. So that’s what you did.

Or, perhaps you were brought up to believe that you should do what your father did, so

you have taken over the family business, or become a dentist ―just like dad.‖ If this

sounds familiar, it’s probably time to look at the new possibilities for your future.

Miller developed a 7-step process to help potential job seekers assess their current

situation and beliefs, identify their real passion, and start on a journey that allows them to

pursue their passion through work.

Step 1: Willingness to do something different.

Breaking the cycle of doing what you have always done is one of the most difficult

tasks for job seekers. Many find it difficult to steer away from a career path or make a

change, even if it doesn’t feel right. Miller urges job seekers to open their minds to other

possibilities beyond what they are currently doing.

Step 2: Commitment to being who you are, not who or what someone wants you to

be.

Look at the \gifts and talents you have and make a commitment to pursue those

things that you love most. If you love the social aspects of your job, but are stuck inside

an office or ―chained to your desk‖ most of the time, vow to follow your instinct and

investigate alternative careers and work that allow you more time to interact with others.

Dawn worked as a manager for a large retail clothing store for several years. Though she

had advanced within the company, she felt frustrated and longed to be involved with

nature and the outdoors. She decided to go to school nights and weekends to pursue her

true passion by earning her master’s degree in forestry. She now works in the biotech

forestry division of a major paper company.

Step 3: Self-definition

Miller suggests that once job seekers know who they are, they need to know how to

sell themselves. ―In the job market, you are a product. And just like a product, you most

know the features and benefits that you have to offer a potential client, or employer.‖

Examine the skills and knowledge that you have identify how they can apply to your

desired occupation. Your qualities will exhibit to employers why they should hire you

over other candidates.

Step 4: Attain a level of self-honoring.

Self-honoring or self-love may seem like an odd step for job hunters, but being able

to accept yourself, without judgment, helps eliminate insecurities and will make you

more self-assured. By accepting who you are – all your emotions, hopes and dreams,

your personality, and your unique way of being – you’ll project more confidence when

networking and talking with potential employers. The power of self-honoring can help to

break all the falsehoods you were programmed to believe – those that made you feel that

you were not good enough, or strong enough, or intelligent enough to do what you truly

desire.
