Patterns are all around us," Gorick Ng, a Harvard University career advisor and the author of 'The Unspoken Rules,' told Business Insider. 'And knowing what the patterns are for your desired career path can help you take a more direct path.'
Ng encourages job seekers to be ambitious by focusing on the companies they are interested in and simply Googling the company name plus 'leadership' to pull up the C-suite bios. For every person whose career sounds interesting, look up their resume by searching in Google with their name, company, and title, plus 'LinkedIn.'
Do this enough times with enough people and you'll soon have a good sense of what it takes to follow in their footsteps,' he said.
If a job seeker is not sure what companies or industries they are interested in, Ng has some recommendations on how to narrow it down. He recommends job seekers ask themselves three questions.
