STEP TWO
Identify Your Career Path
You have a choice.
You can either
wait when devis-
ing your career
path or skip it and
wait for a response
when applying.
If you cut this step
short, the time
you spend wait-
ing for a response
that stems from a
poorly composed
resume takes far
longer than plan-
ning your career
path does.

When your career path is identifed, you
feel confdent and gain a clear direction.
This confdence and sense of direction
will help you generate the enthusiasm
successful applicants take to every meet-
ing.
There are many different ways to identify one’s career
path. The one introduced in this manual is the most direct
and easy-to-follow approach.
I have read books that complicate the process so much
that you get lost in the process. Being lost defeats the
whole purpose. The idea is to achieve clarity. There are
many ways to achieve the same objective and defne a
career path. I have chosen this method because over the
years, I have recognized it as the most effective. We will
identify your career path in three easy steps.
