Week 1 of our plan to get hired: Keep your energy level up; work on your attitude.
We need to find a way to stay upbeat and fired up about job hunting. That may seem like an impossibility – so try these ways to stay upbeat:
1. Picture yourself in your new job – loving what you do and earning again. Stay focused on success instead of failure.
2. Build a network of friends and support to help you stay upbeat by sending you power quotes, comics and encouraging words. Use the phone, text, tweets, e-mails or facebook. Be the same for someone else who needs to stay focused on being optimistic.
3. Whatever comes your way, say “how can I use this to help me find a job?” Get good at turning things in your life into the clues on your hunt for the perfect job. Think of the process as a treasure hunt – with a great job as the prize.
4. Reward yourself for progress. Allow yourself a coffee, snack or other meaningful “prize” only after you get your calls made, networking done or resumes sent out.
5. Brainstorm with your friends and family on ways to stay positive – and then carry your better attitude into the rest of life.
