Waiting…seems like such a waste of time. But as someone once said, “Life is what happens while you’re waiting.” And it seems we are always waiting for something…Right now you may be waiting for that new job, or to hear how you did on an interview…what do you do while you wait?
Are you on a job search and you’re not sure what lies ahead or where to turn? Maybe it’s time to look at it as an adventure rather than a problem…are you heading in the right direction?
As you are entrenched in your job search, what do you see as you look at the future? Do you see more disappointment, failure, and fatigue or do you have the attitude and faith to keep your fork? To understand, you’ll need to read this…
Is your focus only on yourself during your job search? Should it be? If it is you’re missing out on opportunities to reach out to help and serve others, and possibly make great connections…
There are some things in life that by their very nature germinate feelings that you are alone. When you are ditched in a relationship in high school. When a baby dies in childbirth. When you lose your job. Those are alone times…but are you really alone?
You’ve done your investigating to locate job opportunities, applied for ones where you feel you fit, diligently participated in interviews, and now have offers to respond to…Who do you trust to make that decision for you?
People love to give advice. It’s so easy, and self-affirming, to be able to tell someone else how to deal with their problem. If you have been on a job search for very long, you have probably already gotten a bucketful of advice. How can you deal with it?
While you were working, it was, “Another day, another dollar” type of repetition? And now with your job search, it can be a… “Nothing new under the sun” kind of activity. What can you do to get rid of the repetition?
A job interview puts you center stage, and in the spotlight.
One of the first things that a potential employer will notice when you walk through that door for an interview will be how you present yourself…specifically how you are dressed.
Your clothing says a lot about you:
We let schedules and other people’s agendas drive us. The media makes our decisions for us. Friends tell us we should be looking for a particular kind of job. We don’t have our own agenda. We don’t listen to our own dreams. We don’t really know what we are about. But we don’t need to be stuck here! See how you can get unstuck…
