Career Exploration and Career Stuff on the Internet: Star Wars, Feedback, and Job Search
Series of Blog posts on career stuff. Focus will be on career exploration and Internet job resources. My hope is that you will find the information helpful in your career journey. As with anything you read on the internet, please evaluate the information you read and use the specific information that helpful to you.
Sometimes people can gain from feedback, talked about feedback in a prior post related to job hunting career exploration and stuff (posted Oct. 9, 2018). Going to add some additional thoughts.
If you are a science fiction fan and enjoy Star Wars, I watched a YouTube video called “How Star Wars was saved in the edit” by RocketJump (Published Dec 7, 2017). (if interested in finding the video go to YouTube www.youtube.com and type in search “How Star Wars was saved in the edit”)
If you enjoy Star Wars and other science fiction you may enjoy the video, if Star Wars not really your interest area, you may still enjoy watching the video for it highlight the importance of feedback. The video explains how Star Wars improved by seeking feedback from others.
Job hunting may not give many opportunities for a person to receive feedback except for many rejections. You may find it helpful to obtain feedback. Some areas of feedback could be:
* Friends
* Family
* Career Coaches (or career counselors)
* Career experts at Workforce Development office
* Feedback from a job club (a job club a social club that helps people find job positions)
* Career expert from Career associations (a career association where members are from a particular profession)
* Talk to people in the profession you have an interest in going into
* Job Search itself – if you are finding that what you are doing is not leading to success; may be a clue to seek feedback and try something else
