8 Smart Ways to Motivate Yourself to Start Your Job Search Are you dissatisfied, discouraged, frustrated or feeling unfulfilled in your career and considering looking for a new job? Before you write the résumé and refresh your LinkedIn profile, you must first work on getting in the right mindset to succeed. Here are eight ways to develop the right mindset to start the interview process with confidence and enthusiasm. 1. Stop being frustrated and take action right now! We all waste so much of our precious time hoping for things to magically change and make our lives better overnight. In reality, rather than grumble about your current boss and job, you just have to take the steps to initiate change and make the bold decision to pursue your dream. Push yourself to get off the couch, put down the phone, turn off Netflix and make it happen. It is easy to follow the herd mentality and wait because you know that the 'right job/position/raise' will miraculously appear. You need to get serious and hyper-focused about making a change and actually decide to start.
5. Replace negative feedback loops with positive self-talk. We all have negative self-deprecating thoughts run through our minds. Sometimes, we are our own worst enemies. Often these thoughts tell us that we can't achieve certain goals and success will never happen. It is amazing how critical our own inner voice can be and how harsh we are to ourselves. It is possible to alter the negative feedback loop to a positive, internal monologue. Remind yourself of all the times you succeeded and overcame the odds. Will yourself to succeed.
2. We can help! Call, email, register on our website or drop by and we can start you on your search for your new job! Our partners are connected with 100's of jobs that may just be the perfect one for you. We even have courses that can help you learn how to land the perfect position, whether it is upskilling or learning management skills - even OSHA trainings - we can help.
