You will need to find out from a target organization just what you are going to need to do in developing your skills.

So by asking them about the competencies, job descriptions and role specifications in advance, you can get a good picture of what you need to do next.

Doing this can have unexpected benefits, because you come to a new employers attention.

Just once in a while, you won’t need to worry much about developing your skills, because getting noticed through this one act will be enough to trigger a job offer in itself!

So, by being proactive and showing up, you are putting yourself in the job marketplace without even trying!

The key now is what you are going to do about it next. And that’s where “How To Win At Assessment Centers” will make a difference!

Find a mentor.  Somebody who already has “your” job.

This person will have valuable insight into what you will need to do to land your dream job.

They’ll tell you certain areas to focus on, and sometimes will help you develop your skills in those areas.

Finally, it might be a good idea to save up some money from your current job.  Save up enough so that you could feasibly live for six months of unemployment and then go out and find an entry level job in the industry of your dreams.

After all, you can always work your way up, right?  Sometimes taking the time to really work on landing your dream job is the best way to land it at all.
