1 Brainstorm your criteria

Before you start searching for companies, you need to have a clear idea of what you are looking for. What are your goals, preferences, and priorities? What are the must-haves and the deal-breakers? You can brainstorm your criteria using various methods, such as mind mapping, SWOT analysis, or the SCAMPER technique. The key is to generate as many ideas as possible, without judging or filtering them at this stage.

There are a few things on my checklist. These are the things I will typically look at. They include: 1. Personal Values: Consider companies that align with your ethical and personal values. 2. Company Culture: Are you looking for a start-up environment, a traditional corporate structure, or a more relaxed, flexible work atmosphere? 3. Industry Fit: Evaluate the industries that interest you. Consider how your skills and experience align with various sectors and which areas you find most engaging. 4. Professional Growth: Identify companies that offer clear pathways for advancement and ongoing learning. 5. Work-Life Balance: Identify companies known for promoting employee well-being, flexible scheduling, and remote work options.

2 Research your industry

Once you have a list of criteria, you can use it to guide your research on the industry you are interested in. You can look for sources of information such as industry reports, blogs, podcasts, newsletters, or social media groups. You can also network with people who work in the industry, such as mentors, alumni, or contacts on LinkedIn. The goal is to learn about the trends, challenges, opportunities, and best practices in the industry, and to identify the companies that match your criteria.

En mi experiencia ha sido totalmente lo opuesto, tengo una carrera que ejerzo desde una perspectiva distinta. Sin embargo se relaciona indirectamente. Antes de investigar a la industria recomiendo reflexionar el propósito de la empresa y cultura organizacional y tu concepto personal de éxito: ?quieres escalar entre puestos? ?prefieres tener un salario competitivo que te permita realizar actividades? ?te gustaría tener ingresos de cinco ceros a cambio de tu vida personal? Reflexiónalo.

3 Use creative search tools

You don't have to rely on traditional job boards or company websites to find the companies you want to work for. You can use creative search tools that can help you discover new or hidden opportunities. For example, you can use Google Alerts to get notified of relevant news or events related to your industry or criteria. You can use Glassdoor to read reviews and ratings of companies from current or former employees. You can use Crunchbase to find out about startups, funding, and acquisitions in your industry.

Sigue a las empresas de la industria que has seleccionado o te gustaría trabajar, investiga quiénes son las personas de RH que se encuentran, continuamente realizan publicaciones de ofertas de empleo a través de Linkedin o en el feed. Independientemente del resultado de tu aplicación ya tienes la conexión hecha para futuras oportunidades.

4 Create a shortlist and a wishlist

After you have done your research and used creative search tools, you should have a long list of potential companies to apply to. However, you don't want to waste your time and energy on applying to every company that catches your eye. You need to narrow down your list and prioritize the ones that are most suitable for you. You can create a shortlist of companies that meet your criteria and have open positions that match your skills and qualifications. You can also create a wishlist of companies that you would love to work for, even if they don't have any vacancies at the moment.

5 Reach out and follow up

The final step is to take action and reach out to the companies on your shortlist and wishlist. You can use various strategies to get noticed and stand out from the crowd, such as writing a personalized cover letter, sending a cold email, creating a portfolio or a pitch, or asking for a referral. You can also follow up with the companies after you have applied or contacted them, to show your interest and enthusiasm, and to remind them of your value proposition.

By using these creative problem solving techniques, you can creatively identify the companies you want to work for, and increase your chances of landing your dream job.

Redefine tu concepto del éxito, crea el tuyo. Analiza y sé autocrítico con los profesionales y su significado del éxito en tu industria, haz un viaje a tu interior y sé realista. La vida no es una competición, sigue tus propósitos y respeta la otredad. Agradece y visualiza en tu mente que en otra parte del mundo alguien no tiene las mismas oportunidades que tu y su realidad lo fuerza a accionar, aunque no le guste.
