Lighting the Way

7/17/2012

 
Have you ever noticed the steps involved in lighting a candle?:
  • You first start with creating an original flame, be it from a match or lighter.
  • Next, you touch the original flame to the wick you're trying to light.
  • You're never quite sure when the exact moment of transfer takes place, but you keep the original flame on the wick to ensure it is lit.
  • Once the wick is lit, it starts out low and small.
  • Within about a minute the wick fully catches fire and it is shining bright and tall. 

It's a similar process in a job search: 
  • You have to first light YOUR original flame, no one can do that for you.
  • Next, you touch your flame to a previously unlit new contact/connection.
  • You're not quite sure when you're new contact makes or gets the connection, but you keep at it.
  • When you originally make your new contact/connection, it starts out slowly, just like all new relationships do.
  • Once you've nurtured and fed your new contact/connection it will shine bright and tall for you! 
So get going - get out there!  If your flame has gone out, get it lit again and ignite your network by making contact and your new connections will start lighting the way to your bright future!
