The most basic, yet perhaps the most essential secret to any successful job search is to believe in yourself and your ability to succeed! After all, if you don’t believe in yourself…who will?! Optimism fosters clear thought, energy, enthusiasm and productivity. When you believe that you are a great person…you can achieve great things! Whether dating, investing, playing sports, or job hunting, it’s much easier to succeed when you are confident and happy, versus being down and depressed. When you feel positive about yourself and your situation, it is easier to enjoy all that life has to offer— including job hunting! Developing and maintaining a positive attitude is an essential ingredient to any successful job search. To help you develop and maintain a positive mental attitude throughout your job hunt first of all you must: Believe That “You Are Great” Wait! You’re wondering whether or not you’re a great person? Stop right there. Every person, in his or her own way, is great! Don’t believe me? Well, start believing! If you don’t believe in yourself and your abilities how can you expect others to believe in you? If you lack confidence because you feel others are more qualified…forget it! The Word “Qualified” Is Subjective You don’t need the Department of Agriculture to place a big, blue “Interview Approved” stamp on your forehead. Being qualified is totally subjective. The key is to position yourself so you become qualified. Don’t worry. If you want to feel good…go to a mirror, look at yourself, and smile. Then, like Tony the Tiger, yell out…as loud as you can… “I am grrreeeeaaaaat!” Say it loud and with conviction. I know it sounds silly…but try it. I guarantee you will have a smile on your face. Say it often enough and you will believe it. You are great! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Still Not Convinced? Try Creating a List of Your Accomplishments If you are still having difficulty believing in yourself, take out a sheet of paper and write down as many of your accomplishments as you possibly can. Write down anything that comes to mind. And don’t worry about staying focused on just workrelated accomplishments. Your accomplishments can be something as simple as scoring a goal in a soccer game, getting a good grade in a difficult class, successfully leading a group project, winning a major sale, or solving a difficult customer situation. Be it in our relationships, our family life, in school, or in our careers, we have all had numerous accomplishments throughout our lives. By taking the time to write down some of your many accomplishments you begin to realize that you truly are a great person.
