Seeking Opportunity
What is opportunity? Would you recognize it if you saw it? Is it
an external set of circumstances out there in the world or is
opportunity a matter of internal change? I say opportunity
always starts as an inward change. That’s to say, opportunity is
a matter of changing your attitudes, feelings and opinions. Once
you’ve made these internal changes, the space for external
change becomes available.
As a recruiter, I hear people talk about their desire for a
better career situation on a regular basis. Frequently people
ask me to help them find a new opportunity that will provide
career growth. And, as a professional career development
consultant, I try to help when I can. Yet, I know the real issue
is internal and even if I find a better job for this man or
woman, he or she will take along that same person who felt
trapped at the last job.
So where does it start? The first impulse for change often comes
from some discomforting and unlikable external problem. Let’s
say you get passed over for a promotion at your current job. Who
could like that, and who would see opportunity in that? Well,
sure enough, there lies the origin of opportunity. The most
important issue is how will you respond to that disappointment?
Will you lash out at the circumstances around you attempting to
change them? Maybe a new job will help. Or maybe not. Maybe a
new energy, a renewed excitement about the details of projects,
an internal shift in attitudes is where it all begins. That’s
where I’m certain it begins. A person who does this internal
work first puts his or herself in the best position for career
growth and becomes a far stronger candidate for a new job. Do
the internal work first; look for a new job after that work is
done.
