Dear Rookie,
What if you could start your new job with the end in mind?
Here’s a thought: imagine writing the highlights of your next resume today—the kind of achievements that would instantly land you your dream job. Or picture drafting your end-of-year appraisal note right now, the one that would earn you an 11/10 score. What would you want those lines to say?
And then it’s so clear on what you need to do, right? Blindingly obvious on what to go after and invest your time and effort into and what to stay away from every day.
Starting with the end in mind is a game-changer—it has helped me sharpen my priorities and shown me the road ahead. It’s like knowing right at the start, what you need to achieve, no matter what.
As the Cheshire Cat said in Alice in Wonderland, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.” So figure out where you’re going—and make it unforgettable.
