Stock Taking

Have you ever worked in manufacturing, distribution or warehousing environment? If you had, then, you know what I mean by taking stock.

I mentioned before that you need to THINK before you lauch your next career hunt. There is no better time than now to reflect upon yourself WHO you really are, WHAT you really want to do. Once you identify your areas of interest, next thing to do is to do a stock taking for yourself. Here I mean you need to do an internal check of WHAT you really have in terms of SKILLS.

If you don't know what you have, how are you going to sell them? That could be the reason for not getting that Interview you wanted. Try to check on the market, how much your skills are WORTH. That will be your Market Price. That determines how much you should be asking for! Not your previous salary.

Once you know what you want to do, how much you want to get, you are very much in control of the situations. You know your own cards well, you can talk with a lot more confident and sure.

You are ready to take on any challenges and move on...
