Positive Attitude when looking for a Job
The only way to make it through hard times is to focus on the solution rather than the problem and how deep in trouble one is in. The situation where one is searching for a job is one of the hardest phases in life. A person settles for any job just to be independent but it gets better when a person has the right and positive attitude when seeking for a certain job.
The trick is to tame your mind to be positive about life. When going for an interview, believe that you have the right to be there, it’s your time and so give your best in the interview. Do not look at the other interviewees and consider yourself a loser because of the way they have dressed or how well they speak. Have the confidence to be you and shine through that day: talk that talk and walk that walk. You will be surprised how good your attitude can change your life for the better.
When you know you are qualified for the job, stick to that belief and it will make your whole system conform to whatever job situation is being offered. People always fail when it comes to having the confidence to put themselves out there as people who deserve certain jobs. The moment you doubt the abilities you have when going for an interview, that’s the time you destroy the very last spark of talent and skill inside you.
Search for a job like you want someone out there to know that you are the best thing that is going to happen to them. Give yourself an acknowledgment of having a place to fill in the Universe, have purpose and visions too. Sometimes when it seems like the job of your dreams is taking too long to come by, but this doesn’t mean it is not coming. Keep on searching and believing that no matter the situation at the moment, the job will always be yours.
Elizabeth Mwaniki a job seeker once paid an agent to link her with potential employers. The agents in Nairobi take a registration fee of Kshs. 2000 and half of the salary for the first two months of working. It is often clear that when a job seeker is searching for a job, he or she is broke that’s why people work to pay bills and live a good life. The first thing the agents took is registration money which Elizabeth borrowed from a friend. The second thing, the agent took half of Elizabeth’s salary for two months and Elizabeth was left with Kshs. 10, 000 at the end of every month.
Elizabeth’s fare and food money had to be borrowed for her to go to work everyday as well as affording to pay her bills. At the end of the first month, she was more at debt than she could imagine and she had to start searching for another part-time job. There’s a joke about being poor and broke when the month has just started: why is there so much month left at the end of the money? The rich and independent ask the question: why is there so much money left at the end of the month? Choose what you want to ask at the end the month.
The best way to deal with an emotional breakdown of being jobless is to have hope, confidence and keep on applying for online job advertisements. Having hope when one is jobless lets the person notice opportunity in all the places he or she goes to. This is compared to the other person who has been hopeless and jobless for quite sometime in the sense that he or she believes that the advertised job is not meant for him or her. The moment you take control of what your mind thinks about your whole system, you will realize that whatever you visualize, you will get it. If you see yourself working in a big company, you will work in that company but if you see yourself jobless in the next five years, then you will resign to the fact that you are your own enemy in your own mind.
