Don\u2019t worry. It is this uncertainty that holds all the promise and possibility that lies before you. Embrace it and don\u2019t fight it. Don\u2019t believe me? Need proof?Throughout\u00a0 history, there are many stories of people who turned things around for themselves by tapping the resources around them. Individuals whose professional careers had been humbled by adversity, sidelined by family obligations or stalled by stagnation. But the spark of inspiration for these job seekers came from places they never expected:Conversations held over coffee with a new or long-time friend that fosters new directions and ideas for you to pursueReading a book suggested by a trusted advisor about a topic you hold dearAttending an inspirational seminar discussing a new skill set you need to learnEncouragement from a colleague to attend a networking group,\u00a0 industry conference or alumni get-togetherThey have achieved success despite the adversity experienced and triumphed through transition. How? What sets these people apart? They took an action without knowing where it would go. Period. They did not have all of the answers before they started. However, they took action anyway. They evaluated the results of that action and then they took another action. Sometimes the overall direction was not clear nor its global purpose completely obvious. But they kept taking action and recalibrating their next efforts based on the previous action\u2019s results.\u00a0 They did not set out with a rigid vision of what the final result should look like nor did they have a fixed mindset of which path needed to be taken to get there.What does this mean for you?\u00a0 The key here is for you to take an action\u2014stop thinking and take action. Do not think you have to have all of the answers or analyze every option\u00a0 before you start. Don\u2019t make the assumption that the action you take has to be a huge step either.\u00a0 Start with a small step. Make a phone call. \u00a0Send the email. Attend the meeting. Write a thank you card. Promote yourself. The direction of the next action will became apparent when you need it. Just take a step now. Action will beget action. Success will breed success. Congratulations!\u00a0 You have started the beginning to your Great Story today.Written by\u00a0Lisa Rangel, Executive Resume WriterSign up for Chameleon Resumes BlogName: Email:   If you are interested in working with Lisa Rangel,\u00a0an accomplished executive resume writer, social media profile writer and job search consultant, to achieve the social media exposure and land the interviews you want,\u00a0sign up for an exploratory call now\u00a0and learn about the Chameleon Resumes services that can help you land your next role."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"How to Triumph Over Transition.
