What job seekers who want to have success in this job market should resolve to do in 2012…
I resolve in 2012 year to:
1. Remind myself every day that my attitude affects my job search.
Despite these tough economic times (and the long period of time I may have been without a job), I vow to start fresh and approach my job search with a positive attitude. Successful job searches are driven by positive emotions. Fear, desperation, depression and anxiety will only prolong my job search. I have to find ways to balance these emotions and approach my job search from a positive place...Therefore, I will…
2. …Strive every day to pursue my passion.
Ask myself, “Am I really following my heart when it comes to my job search?” Passion always wins in this economy and people who let their values determine their direction tend to be more positive and have more success in their job search.
Remember: Passion + Ability + Availability = Meaningful Work
3. Work every day as if my job search is a ‘real’ job.
Remember: I am getting paid to look for work. Why? Because, the quicker I get a job the sooner I am making a pay check. So, the more I work AND the better I work means more money sooner.
Therefore, I will schedule my day as if it is a real job...
I will dress for work and I will set and accomplish real goals.
4. Finally, I will focus every day on NETWORKING.
People hire people they know!
(Figure out how to best use your network to communicate your Brand and you will find productive work that makes you happy...:-)
