52 things to help you get to what’s next in your career

By Kathryn Meisner

One of the biggest questions I get asked by people is: What are the steps to figure out what’s next in my career?

I get it. I like plans, outlines, and to-do lists and from working with 100+ clients, I know I’m not the only one.

I’ve noticed that when people are going through career confusion and stress, simply *knowing* the outline of steps can provide motivation and hope.

To help with this, I’ve created The What’s Next Checklist. Enter your email below and it will be sent to you instantly.

Whether you want to explore a new career or you know exactly which job and company you want to work at, almost all of the 52 steps I outline apply to both.

Yup, that means that it *is* entirely possible to explore new careers AND job search at the same time.

What’s even more wonderful about these steps is that once you build the skills to implement them, you can use them over and over and over again.

This is pretty great considering that most of us will most likely have many more job and career changes in our future (I’ve had at least at least 4 career changes and I’m only in my early 30s).

Want help?

Figure out what’s next in your career, take action, and get it. Without relying on resumes or gross networking. Get 5 weeks of career coach support with Guidance Counselling for Adults.

UPDATE: The next round of Guidance Counselling for Adults (with options for lots of personal support from me) will be open for registration from Mon Jan 7th until Thurs Jan 17th. Want to learn more about GCA? Click here.

While you wait, get your What’s Next Checklist to help you get started with what’s next in your career and be the first to know about the next round of GCA (early bird, sliding scale rates and bonuses included).

 

GCA is a 5 week program with lots of support from me. It’s the same 4 step process that has helped my clients land their ideal jobs with salary increases of over $50,000 (yup, for real). 

The last time GCA was offered, it sold out in less than two weeks.

LinkedIn private mode: How to anonymously view someone’s LinkedIn profile

By Kathryn Meisner

How to anonymously view someone’s LinkedIn profile (without paying)

Yes, it’s true. You can indeed view someone’s profile without them knowing and without paying for the Premium version of LinkedIn.

Why might you want to do this? Here are some of the reasons I recommend to my Guidance Counselling for Adults students…

  • To get a sense for how someone has framed their experience (especially if it’s similar to yours)
  • To find potential contacts for coffee chats
  • To do research on the people who may be interviewing you
  • To see what other people with your experience/education/skills are doing
  • To see who is working at a particular organization or company
  • To get more info about your potential future colleagues
  • To research former colleagues or classmates

Could you do all of these things without being in “private mode” on LinkedIn?

You definitely could – and it can be very strategic to do so at the right time- but I recommend that your profile be up to snuff before you do.

So how do you go anonymous?

Here are 5 quick steps:

Step 1: Click your little profile pic in the top right hand corner

 

Step 2: Click on “Settings & Privacy” in the dropdown menu

 

Step 3: Click on the “Privacy” section

 

Step 4: Scroll down to “Profile viewing options” and click “Change”

 

Step 5: Select “Private mode”

 

Something to remember….

When you’re in this mode, LinkedIn won’t be tracking who is viewing your profile so as soon as you’re done creeping, go back to regular mode.

 

How to switch back? Just follow the same steps above and then select “Your name and headline”

 

Wondering how to find a new job or switch careers? Check out Figure Out Your Next Step – it’s my free 7 day email course full of strategies that don’t rely on resumes.
