Getting the job you want starts long before you hit “apply”. It begins with how you see yourself. If you walk into opportunities unsure, shrinking yourself or hoping someone takes a chance on you, the world will treat you exactly like that.
But when you decide you are the person who belongs in the room, everything shifts. Jobs that once looked impossible suddenly feel within reach. You speak differently. You show up differently. And decision makers feel it.
So how do you do that?
First, get clear on what you actually want. Not the job you think you should take, not the one your parents or friends think is practical. What do you want? When the goal is honest, the motivation comes naturally.Then take an honest look at your current skills and experience. Not to judge yourself, but to identify the gaps you can close. You are not behind. You are simply building the bridge to your next level.
The next step is to upgrade how you present yourself. Your CV, your LinkedIn profile, even the story you tell in interviews should highlight who you are now and who you are becoming. Confidence is not loud. It is clear. When you speak from clarity, people trust you faster.
Also, build relationships before you need them. Conversations create opportunities that applications never reach. One genuine connection can do more for your career than 50 online submissions.
Above all, stay consistent. You do not need to overhaul your whole life to become job ready. You just need to show up like someone who expects great things from their future. Celebrate every win. Track your progress. Keep choosing the version of yourself who goes for what they deserve.
You are capable of landing the role that excites you. You are allowed to want more. And your opportunity will not miss you if you prepare for it now.
