Once you have achieved and exercised extensive brainstorming and you have decided on a
decisive path to take, implement your plan consistently. In this type of market, if a
particular strategy needs modification, it is easier to detect this when you have a
clear, concise and concrete plan.

Find Lost Passion by Jane Powell..
“What do you think counts?”
If you’re not sure, then it’s time to rediscover what you feel is important. In
other words, what fuels your passion?
To rediscover this passion, start by simplifying your life. Quit doing things merely
out of habit. Turn off the TV for a month or turn off the radio while commuting to
work. See where your mind takes you. When you find yourself saying, “I love that,”
or, “This is fun,” take note. That inner voice is leading you toward your passion.
Become comfortable with the idea of doing what you like. As you discover what you
enjoy doing, you’ll find answers to what counts for you. And, that’s what being
passionate is all about!

Research - Exploring Careers & Employers
After learning more about yourself, you’re better prepared to explore careers and how they match your specific interests, skills, values, and personality. To determine which career fields may be a good fit, you must do your homework. This involves researching the workplace – specifically, the knowledge, skills, abilities, interests, and work values that are associated with various jobs.
Vary your research methods: read about careers, talk to people in jobs and industries that appeal to you, and gain hands-on experience to explore at a deeper level. A thorough and varied exploration will offer you the following rewards: a clearer focus for your career-decision making, a more targeted and manageable job search, rich information to leverage in cover letters and interviews, and finally - work that you love.
"Doing the difficult things that you've never done awakens the talents you never
knew you had." ~ Robin Sharma

Even the worst of the worst interviews can still hold true value to your current job search. To truly benefit from the interview-gone-bad, explore and review the below process...
As soon as you leave an interview that you would classify as "not so great", create a list of every aspect of the interview that made it "poor". Spend as much time as you need on the list so that you can capture every problem; but make sure you create the list right after the interview, so everything is fresh in your mind. Evaluate immediately!
Create a list of every possible solution to the problems you just listed. This should be an ongoing process during your current job search.
Continue adding to your problems list. New interview meetings might reveal new evaluation. Over time, you will come up with effective solutions to those problems as well.
Continue adding to your suggestions and new techniques to your list. Ideas can come to you at anytime and you may happen to come up with better solutions to problems you already solved.
