\"stuck.in.a.job\"<\/a>You are bored in your job. But you know it\u2019s good – you\u2019ve got great government benefits, a stable salary, and a certain sense of security that comes from working directly for Uncle Sam.<\/p>\n

But, you want more.\u00a0 You want to do something different, but you\u2019ve been at your job for awhile and frankly, you aren\u2019t sure where to begin anymore so…you end up feeling stuck.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to find the motivation to get going to job search, much less answer the question: \u201cWhat do I really want to do next in my career?\u201d\u00a0 Thinking about it can be stressful, draining, and let\u2019s face it – obnoxious.\u00a0 So, not much changes except that the \u201cI have it good in this job but I want something else\u201d guilt continues to grow.<\/p>\n

So, instead of making this hard, let\u2019s start off easy: I want you to start talking to people.<\/b><\/p>\n

You are probably thinking: “Christie, I already do that. Everyone knows I’m ready for something new and that I\u2019m bored and frustrated.\u00a0 I’m TIRED of talking to people.”<\/p>\n

Figuring out your next step doesn\u2019t have to be hard\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To which I say: “It’s time to have a different conversation, with different people.”<\/b><\/p>\n

When I was trapped and stuck as a DC contractor, spending my money on makeup and shoes and travel to distract from all of the frustration, I told everyone close to me. Constantly. That habit made me really fun at parties, if you define “really fun” as boring, annoying, and sarcastic (I know you want to have old me over for dinner!). So my approach obviously wasn’t helpful, and it wasn’t productive.\u00a0 I wasn’t able to get answers until I got both positive and proactive in my conversations, and changed who I was talking to and with. It seems so obvious now, but it was a eureka! moment for me at the time.<\/p>\n

To get unstuck, I needed to make new connections and do some informational interviews, and learn about other industries, opportunities, and jobs.<\/b><\/p>\n

I didn’t need to have all of the answers now, I told myself that all I had to do was take people out for coffee and listen, and the answers would slowly come.<\/b><\/p>\n

And you know what? It worked! Every time I left a meeting with someone new I felt inspired, motivated, and like I was moving forward. Not all of them gave me great ideas or great connections, but they all made me feel good and gave me information I didn’t have before…and, as a bonus I felt a lot less stressed about finding the “right” answer (which was keeping me stuck) versus taking action and find some answers.<\/p>\n

Talking to people brings you energy\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

That new information lead to new ideas, and eventually I had started my first side project – a blog for women.\u00a0 I’ll write more about that another time – but first I want to invite you to make a list of people you know or what to know who do things that you find interesting or intriguing.\u00a0 Once you’ve done that – email two of them and see if they’ll have coffee with you for 30 minutes.\u00a0 The format for your email is simple:<\/p>\n

1. Introduce yourself (or ask someone who knows them to introduce you)<\/p>\n

2. Mention why you are reaching out, and why you find them interesting (flattery!)<\/p>\n

3. Suggest a coffee and explain you are interested in learning what they love, what they hate, and anything they want to share about their work.<\/p>\n

4. Suggest a few dates\/times (make it easy on them)<\/p>\n

5. Thank them.<\/p>\n

Good luck and may the force be with you – you can do this!<\/p>\n
