Positive
Mental Attitude is Critical For Your Job Search
Why Positive Mental Attitude is Critical for Your Job Search?
Starting a Career or job search for whatever reason can be a daunting
prospect.
Particularly so if you are feeling down, or lacking in confidence, or
feel that due to circumstances out of your control; that maybe there
are no jobs available.
However this mental attitude will get you NOWHERE!
The career and job search tactics covered on this site look at tapping
into the UNADVERTISED JOBS market, which make up approximately 60% of
the total jobs market.
A massive chunk that you don't want to miss out on.
This tends to be where the best jobs are, and the least competition!
However, it does take a certain amount of effort, FAITH and PERSISTANCE
on your part to tap into this market.
You MUST have faith and believe, that you have the ability; and that
coupled with persistant action you WILL find what your looking for.
I realise this is easy for me to say that you must have a positive mental attitude, and that it’s
really irritating
to be told to “think positive” or “be confident” if you feel you have
nothing
to be positive and confident about.
But I do beleive it's important to use all your job search options, and
for your search to be pin point accurate; aimed on a role that you will
love, rather than any old job.
So
Why else is Positive Mental Attitude so Critical for Your Job
Search?
A positive mental attitude acts
like a beacon, attracting "good things" to your positive light!
And when you get your chance
(and you will) many employers veiw a positive attitude higher
through the interview and assessment stages than having all the perfect
answers.
The offer often goes to the
person whom is “liked”
the most above others who may have scored higher through the interview.
Positive
Mental Attitude is Critical for Your Job Search - So how do you fire up your
beacon of positive
attitude if you feel $@&# ?
Even if circumstances and luck
may all seem to be against
you.
You have to FAKE it!
No one will hire you if you’re
miserable and
downbeat, or if you’re cynical, critical and angry.
Therefore copy the behaviour of
positive people
- Be respectful of
others
- Tolerant
- Calm
- Helpful
- Happy and smiling
- Point out things
done well, not critical, or cynical
- Try to find the
positives or lessons learned from
poor experiences
- Show FAITH in your
ability
- Be PERSISTENT in
your pursuit of goals.
The irony is that the more you
fake it, the more
positive you really become.
It’s impossible to persistently
ACT in a way without
slowly becoming it.
That’s why laughing and smiling
therapies are
becoming more popular; even if you don’t mean it at first the
persistent act of
laughing or smiling will improve your whole physiology.
If things are really low, turn
to someone who has
been through the same experience, or your faith.
I personally like to read, and
found great
inspiration from the classic book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon
Hill. The “RICH”
in the title does not have to mean MONEY; it can mean love, happiness,
career, job, whatever
you need.
