The Impact of Career Exploration on your Job Search

After being referred to hundreds of professionals for career coaching, I found a pattern. I learned that individuals often struggle with job searching because they don’t know what job they really want (or which one is the best fit for them). In fact, 85% of employees are disengaged at work (Gallup). The window of opportunity for you to change that statistic (at least for yourself) is during your job search. In fact, it’s before it.Career exploration is a process that is separate and preliminary to the job search, including a series of steps of practical learning about potential career paths of interest with simultaneous self-reflection. The goals and outcome of the process are to learn, compare, contrast, and prioritize your options until you reach a point of clarity and confidence about which career path (role and industry) is best for you. People often feel impatient to go through exploration before diving into the job search, but you’d be remiss to do that. How will you prove you’re a fit for a role if you’re not even sure that you are a fit? In order to sell others on your story, you have to first figure out the story yourself.
