My journey to Landing My Dream Job in Just 30 Days!

My journey to Landing My Dream Job in Just 30 Days!

When you're aiming for your dream job, especially internationally, it might feel like a long road ahead, but trust me, with the right focus, it's absolutely possible. Let me share how I managed to achieve my career goal in just 30 days and how you can, too.

1. Clarifying My Career Vision: It started with me really thinking about what I wanted in a job—where my passion and skills intersected. For me, it wasn’t just about landing any job but one that aligned with my long-term goals. Once I had that clarity, everything became easier to manage.

2. Standing Out with a Customized Resume and Cover Letter: Every job I applied for needed a different approach. I didn’t just send out generic resumes. Instead, I took time to really think about the company and how my specific skills would add value there. Personalizing my resume and cover letter helped me stand out and get noticed by hiring managers.

3. Tapping Into My Professional Network: I reached out to people in my network—former colleagues, mentors, and professionals I had connected with over the years. This made a huge difference. I always tell people that your network is your secret weapon, especially when you’re exploring opportunities that aren’t always visible to the public. It's not about who you know but how you leverage those connections.

4. Building a Strong LinkedIn Presence: LinkedIn was my game-changer. I didn’t just apply for jobs through it; I used it to build a brand, engage with people in my industry, and make sure my profile was optimized for recruiters. Every like, comment, and post I engaged with built my credibility.

5. Prepping for Interviews like Conversations: I treated interviews as conversations, where both sides needed to see if we fit together. It wasn’t about giving perfect answers but about being honest and aligning my skills with the company’s needs. I researched companies in detail and practiced interview questions, so when the opportunity came, I was ready.

The Best Part: It Paid Off! After 30 days of persistent effort, I landed my dream role as an HR & Admin Manager at Ajzal Capital, based in Saudi Arabia. It felt amazing not just because it was a perfect fit, but because I was the first Pakistani on their management and HR team! It was a milestone not just for my career but for representation too.

Takeaways for You: If you’re just starting or looking for international opportunities, here’s what I’ve learned:

  • Be clear about what you want.
  • Invest time in customizing your applications.
  • Never underestimate the power of networking.
  • Stay active on platforms like LinkedIn.
  • Treat interviews as an opportunity to connect, not just to impress.

You can do this too—the dream job you’re aiming for is closer than you think. Stay focused, stay determined, and make the right moves. You'll get there!
