❌ Most Jobseekers Don't Know How to Pick Their Target Role

It's hard to find your target job...

There's 1000s of choices.

You want a job that:

  • Matches your skills

  • Matches your interests

  • And has growth opportunities

You ever pick the WRONG job?

It can be catastrophic 💣

And you don't want that to happen again.

But you have no idea where to start...

You wanna change industries? Change roles? But don't where to go?

Now it's time to use ChatGPT.

This is gonna be your starting point.

So... you ready to get started?

Alright let's dive in 👇

P.S. If you haven't watched The Office, I highly recommend...

How Do You Decide Your Target Role? 

You need 1-2 target roles (not 10+).

If you...

  • Don't like your current role

  • Wanna switch industries

  • Wanna switch roles

But don't know where to go.

This is for you.

Use ChatGPT to Narrow Down Your Target Role 

Prompt:

>> Can you give me 3 suggestions on roles / titles I should apply for based on my resume [copy resume here]

You know what you like? 

But don't know jobs to fit your interests.

Steal this prompt:

I really like marketing but not sure what roles are available. Can you give me example roles / titles in the tech industry that I could apply for based on my interest in marketing

Have an industry in mind? 

But not a target role.

Copy this prompt:

I want to work in the healthcare industry but I don't know what role I want. My past experiences was as a Strategy Consultant. Do you have role suggestions for me?

Have a target role in mind? 

And want similar roles to apply to...

Steal this prompt:

I'm thinking of applying to a strategy and ops role in the tech industry. But wanna look at other options. Can you give me suggestions for similar roles I could apply to?

Wanna learn more about the roles? 

But don't wanna find job descriptions.

Steal this prompt:

For each of these roles can you put the role name and a sample job description in a table

Let's get even more details... 

Steal this prompt:

Can you add another two columns. Highlight the hard and softs kills needed for each role. The next highlighting the growth opportunities.

Now it’s Time to Increase Your Research

  • Go to LinkedIn and read job descriptions of each role

  • Connect with people in those roles (and ask questions)

  • Go to job boards + company websites to find other roles

Ask Yourself... 

  • Would I like the work?

  • Would I learn from this role?

  • How recession proof is this role?

  • Do I have the skills I need to succeed?

  • Would this role help me achieve my long term goals?

Most questions can only be answered by someone in the role.

My Advice

>> Narrow down to 3-5 roles from ChatGPT / Research

>>> Narrow down to 2-3 roles from job descriptions

>>>> Narrow down to 1-2 roles from conversations

That's all I got for you this week.
