When you have insight, you have a feeling, emotion, or thought that helps you know something essential about a person or thing. Understanding isn't based on hard facts or evidence. It has nothing to do with using your senses, such as sight or smell. Making a job change and making the right decision about your next job can be one of the most challenging jobs you will ever have, so approaching it with some career insight is a positive goal.

Needed insights can come from taking an inventory of your current and past job skills. Understanding more about the business you work for help. What is the industry called? What other enterprises service that industry. Who are your company’s suppliers and customers? What direction is your company going? Are the needs for the products growing or shrinking?

“A job for most of us is more than just how we make a living. It shapes how we see ourselves, as well as how others see us. It gives our days structure, purpose, and meaning. But in a rapidly changing marketplace — reshaped in recent years by technology and automation, and devastated in 2020 by a global pandemic that has left millions out of work — finding a job has become exponentially more challenging.”

Get up, give it your 100% effort and find that job but first, ensure your insights into your work are up to date.
