3. Why
Create
Your
Job
Objec7ve?
If
you
haven’t
decided
or
are
unsure
about
your
job
objec?ve,
this
process
may
help
you
discover
the
founda?on
upon
which
to
begin
making
decisions
about
your
future.
We
begin
with
delinea?ng
“ The
Big
Picture”
from
the
previous
sec?ons
to
ensure
that
your
chosen
career
path
fits
with
your
important
mo?va?ons
and
interests.
Keep
in
mind
that
a
job
objec?ve
creates
focus
or
a
target
for
your
job
search;
through
self-­‐awareness
(knowing
what
‘floats
your
boat’
)
you
can
determine
the
best
direc?on
to
head.
Another
part
of
the
process
is
to
perform
market
research
through
networking,
online,
and
from
organiza?onal
materials
to
assess
your
professional
constraints
for
achieving
an
ideal
job
at
an
ideal
organiza?on.

Considera7ons
•
If
you
cannot
write
a
single
job
objec?ve
because
of
conflic?ng
or
compe?ng
interests,
then
develop
up
to
three
most
likely
objec?ves.
• You
may
change
your
job
objec?ve
as
you
plan
and
implement
your
job
search
strategy.
• Remain
flexible
as
you
gain
experience
and
knowledge
as
you
implement
your
campaign.
• Your
objec?ve
serves
as
the
touchstone
for
all
of
your
job
search
ac?vi?es.
• Once
you
determine
your
job
objec?ve,
develop
specific
ac?vi?es
to
help
you
alain
your
objec?ve.
• Cohesively
integrate
your
ac?vi?es
as
part
of
the
job
search
strategy.
