2022 is in full swing. We rang in the new year, we set some goals, and now we need to take the steps to complete those goals. Maybe you’re like me and setting goals is always fun and exciting, but now you need to actually do the work. That’s the hard part.
Create the list and now cross off those items? It can be difficult. But you are worth it! Every time you see that list of goals picture yourself completing the tasks and moving up to a new level of success.
Meet Ellie. She has lived on Maui with her family since she was 7 years old. Once Covid hit, her job laid her off and she collected unemployment. As a single mom she wanted something better for herself and her young daughter. After going through a year of the pandemic she got a job in Las Vegas. Moving to the mainland was a challenge but she figured out how to work, co-parent and have a social life. But Maui was calling again and she missed home. She needed to make more money and find a job that could support her and her daughter. After applying for many jobs she landed something that was just the right fit. Was it something she had ever done before? No. Was it something she needed to be trained to do? Yes. Was she willing to put in the work to make it happen? Yes!
Now Ellie is back on Maui with a job making more than before and truly thriving. It’s not easy to find a new job, but if you put in the time and effort to put your best self forward employers will be excited to talk to you. Spend some time on the Maui County Virtual Job Fair site and add to your profile. Use the features that are available to show what you’re capable of. Everyone started off somewhere, with no experience, little training and proved themselves. So spread those wings and reach for something you’ve been dreaming about but haven’t tried yet. There are so many opportunities and yours is just around the corner.
