DEDICATION. Encarta Dictionary describes dedication as “The quality of being committed to something.” It is important to be able to articulate what you are committed to. If you have a family you would probably say that you are dedicated to your family. If not, perhaps your friends, church or community. Maybe for you, it is all of the above that you are dedicated to!
The bottom line is that if you are dedicated to something you will have to show it at some point. How dedicated are you to your job search (short term goal) and career plan (long term goal)? Are you doing what you need to do everyday?
Write down what you are dedicated to in big letters on one sheet of paper and put it where you can see it when you are on the computer or telephone. Make this your focus and strive every day to do your best toward those things to which you have decided to dedicate your efforts.
I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.
If you have been in a job search for a while, you will want to re-examine and re-dedicate yourself to that job search. If you haven’t really been able to achieve the short term goals toward your over all career goal, it may be time to rethink that goal and dedicate yourself to another.
Dedication is hard work. You may have to overcome adversity and What you choose to dedicate yourself to is purely up to you. What choices will you make?
SOME BACKGROUND ON THIS ARTICLE
Hanukkah started 12/8/12 this year. I am not Jewish and don’t celebrate Hanukkah, but have always been surrounded by friends who observe. This year, I thought I would post an article each day of the Celebration. Although Hanukkah means Dedication, it seems that it also means more. Each article will highlight a meaningful ideal that I feel can be related to either the Celebration of Hanukkah or career planning and job search.
I will kindle one light on the menorah by sharing the titles of each article theme or candle:
1. Dedication
2. Gratitude
3. Charity
4. Faith
5. Hope
6. Perseverance
7. Focus
8. Triumph
If you would like to learn more about Hanukkah or Chanukah, here is a very straightforward article that I found helpful: Short Article on Chanukah.
