Is it possible to land that dream job?



The answer is yes.


Possibilities are endless. Notice that we are not speaking of probabilities but possibilities.


Therefore, all things conceivable are possible, and the key to opening possibilities is to believe.


When you believe, it opens your mind and thinking to what you can achieve and sets in motion the thought energy to go about bringing what you want into fruition. You begin to create and evolve and to bend your universe toward that which you desire. Dreams can come true with believing, which plants the seed for success. The difference you make is in how you nurture that seed to turn your possibilities into reality.


Think about that for a minute...


Think about the many incidents in your life where you may have felt that you would never achieve something but it somehow happened for you. It came alive and became real to you and in your life. And what made the difference for you? Can you look back and remember that deep down you believed that it could happen? If you really and truly thought that something was impossible to achieve, then you may never achieve it.


Taken from the lyrics of Jay Z,

"Difficult takes a day. Impossible takes a week".

What is he saying here, really? That if there is a will then there's a way. It all depends on how you look at it and how you move toward making something happen.


Simply put, it may take longer for the seemingly impossible to come true to life, but that does not mean that it won't. But you must put forth some type of effort and go for it. You must have a burning desire to want to achieve a thing. Another Jay Z lyric reminds us that we have to get out of the boat to walk on water. In other words, whatever your desire or dream or want or need, you must want it and you must be willing to put in as much effort and time as it takes to realize your affirmative outcome.


This applies to desires like landing your dream job.


And yes. It is possible!


Understand, however, that your job search journey should be focused and completed in stages, as follows.


Get Prepared: The first thing to do is to get ready by making sure your resume and cover letter are updated, and nowadays, it is also a great idea to have a professionally revamped LinkedIn profile.

You should get the interview with a compelling application that includes a high-quality resume and cover letter that showcase your strengths and core competencies and highlights your worth to potential employers and how your experience and qualifications fit into the big picture. So, be sure that your resume and cover letter are outstanding and make you stand out as well.
