📝 Life Resume: Collect Memories and Create Experiences ➡ Live your life with an urgency, think as you are fortunate to wake up every day. You are alive and have a precious human life. Put all efforts to develop yourself and uplift others. ➡ Whenever it is obvious goals cannot be reached, do not adjust the goals adjust your efforts and actions. ➡ If we spend too much time worrying about things that might happen, we will miss out things where we can improve in our lives. ➡ A big why is big enough to crush small obstacles. How you do anything is how you do everything. Small things you do are indicators of what you are becoming. ➡Stay consistent in doing things you may not want to do, create an environment in your head that says it is okay doing impossible things. #life #resume #consistent #why #how #efforts #actions #memories #triathlon #marathon #triathlon #ironman #ultraman

Yesterday was Sports Day for my youngest and it got me thinking about how similar preparing for Sports Day is to job hunting and your work life, as they are all filled with challenges, victories, and personal growth. 🏃🏻♀️Preparation is Key - Training for the big day vs. prepping your CV and skills for that dream job. 🏅The Starting Line - The excitement (and nerves!) of starting a race vs. the anticipation of applying for a new job. 🏃🏻♀️Team Spirit - Cheering on teammates vs. collaborating with colleagues to achieve common goals. 🏅Facing Challenges - Overcoming obstacles on the track vs. tackling projects and meeting deadlines. 🏃🏻♀️Celebrating Wins - The thrill of crossing the finish line vs. the joy of landing a job or completing a big project. 🏅Learning from Losses - Using every defeat as motivation to improve in both sports and your career journey. Whether you're on the race track or in the office, it's all about persistence, teamwork, and growth. 🏃♂️💼 #CareerJourney #WorkLifeBalance #JobHunt #GrowthMindset

5 Lessons from Ironman Training That Apply to Job Searching Training for my first Ironman has been a transformative experience, and it's made me reflect on how the principles I'm applying to sports also work in my job search. Here are 5 lessons from Ironman training that you can apply to your career: 🏊♂️ Pace Yourself: Don't burn out by applying to every job at once—target roles that match your skills and values. 🚴 Stay Consistent: Training every day leads to progress, just like showing up for networking and job hunting consistently leads to opportunities. 🏃 Break Down Big Goals: Just like I focus on one segment of the Ironman at a time, I break down the job search into small, manageable tasks. 🥇 Celebrate Small Wins: Completing a tough training session or getting an interview call—both deserve a pat on the back! 💬 Ask for Support: Whether it's seeking advice from a coach or a mentor, don't hesitate to reach out for help. What strategies have helped you stay motivated and disciplined during tough times? #jobsearch #recruiting #motivation #inspiration #sport

Job hunting sometimes feels like a marathon, not a sprint. 🏃♂️💨 It's normal to feel tired and discouraged along the way. Remember, it's a journey, not a race! Keep going, your finish line is out there. 💪 Here are few things for you to consider while you are searching for your dream job: 👉 Just like in a marathon, it's important to understand your skillset and set a goal - whether you will run a half marathon or a full one. Similarly, read the job description to understand what is required of the role. Don't go all out applying to dozens of jobs where the designation sounds ambitious or a goal you want to reach or the role is at your dream company. Understand the skills required, tailor your resume to fit the role. Understand that finding the right opportunity may take time and effort. Embrace the journey, celebrate small victories, and don't be discouraged by setbacks. 👉 In a marathon, runners don't sprint the entire race; they maintain a steady pace and keep moving forward. Similarly, in the job search, consistency and persistence are key. Dedicate time each day to networking, applying for jobs, and improving your skills. Stay focused on your goals and keep pushing forward, even when faced with rejection or challenges. 👉 Just as marathon runners prioritize self-care to endure the race, job seekers must prioritize their well-being during the job search marathon. Make sure to take breaks, exercise, and engage in activities that rejuvenate you. Seek support from friends, family, or mentors to stay motivated and maintain a positive mindset throughout the process. #JobSearchJourney #KeepPushingForward #Marathon #Winning

Tip #44: Keep a full funnel I love skating. Last Friday, I took advantage of a gap in my schedule and spontaneously jumped on a surprise ice time extension (for free!) at a favourite forest skating track before the track closed for the season at noon. One hour of uninterrupted gliding time through the woods- bliss! And it was the best ice I had experienced all season. I identified an opportunity, and acted on it right away. Jobseekers - what opportunities are you seizing? What possibilities are you exploring? What prospects are you jumping on? If the answer is "none", ask yourself why. What have you done lately to add to your "funnel" of possibilities? When you are looking for work, you always want a full funnel. As you act on leads for jobs, you want to replenish a lead you actioned with a new lead to explore. An empty funnel is a sign your opportunities have dried up - and this is not a productive place to be in a job search. So - what can you do to ensure your funnel of possibilities and opportunities is regularly replenished? ✅ Attend networking events - there are lots right now! As you meet new people, you will hear more about potential opportunities - and one of these may be a good fit for you ✅ Intentionally reach out to people who work at companies of interest - you can learn about their challenges and explore how you can add value ✅ Talk about your job search with others - the more people hear about what you are looking for, the more they will be able to send jobs your way, connect you with hiring managers or get your resume into the right hands ✅ Be curious and ask questions - when you learn more, you expose yourself to more, and you create space to be open to new paths and opportunities What else would you add here?

Just like the athletes we’ve all been watching throughout the Olympics who have set a goal for themselves, devised a plan and worked daily to hit and exceed their targets and goals. Job searching is similar, you need to map out your strategy, what are going to do to reach your ultimate goal of getting that new job. Job searching is a marathon not a sprint,it takes time, daily motivation and work to cross the finish line. #MondayMotivation #jobseekers #keepgoing #yourhardworkwillpayoff #startingnewcareers #careerservices
