In this slap a bandage on the problem and get back in the game society of ours, career changers and job seekers are setting themselves up for disappointment.  We skip right to the final destination (a new job, something other than what I have now) while ignoring what we really want.  While ignoring what would really make us happy.  There are a lot of reasons we won’t focus on ourselves.  It might be we are uncomfortable doing so, or that we’re not used to taking the time to plan.  Maybe it is the pressure to find work immediately, or at least the perception there will be a price to pay if we don’t do so immediately.  In my coaching of others, it is the focus on self that seems to be the most challenging for people.  In my opinion, it is also the most important thing to do.
