3 Simple Steps to Your Dream Job
#2 Info Interviews
When I graduated from college I had 3 offers from different finance related companies. I was a star student all throughout college. Active in my business school, social life and career wise. Everyone expected me to do great things and make huge accomplishments in my life.
It was great that everyone thought that about me, but I had no idea what I wanted to do.
There was a moment in my life where I had an offer with a prestigious Wealth Management company. It made sense to take it. I had a Finance background, Wealth Management experience, and the mental fortitude to make it.
The guy who offered me the job wanted me to work for him so bad he gave me 3 months to think about the offer. 3 months. (The longest time I had to think about an offer was 1 week)
I took my 3 months and consulted my friends and family about what to do, but what really made me make my decision was what my friend told me.
“If you really want to do something in life you will do everything in your power to do it. If you don’t, you’ll make every excuse not to”
In the 3 months that I thought about the offer, I made every single excuse to not take it.
