It’s been months since you’ve been unemployed, spending your days (and evenings) writing cover letters and revising your resume, rehearsing, preparing for interviews, thinking only about that.
You’re starting to get exhausted and you want to give up…
No!
There are some very good reasons to hang on and keep the punch needed for the final victory.
In life as in work, the attitude, energy, and passion put at the service of realizing one’s dreams are fundamental and often determine the outcome of the problem encountered.
Don’t give up, never give up if you know exactly what you need.
Remember, a few minutes each day, that:
1. Your worries are neither more nor less important than those of others and everyone goes through this. Even your future recruiter has experienced it.
2. You are largely as good as anyone else. It’s up to you to remember that, in due time.
3. “Patience and length of time do more than force or rage”, said Jean de La Fontaine. There is bound to be a job for you somewhere. It’s all a matter of time. And timing.
4. If you feel you are spinning your wheels, that you are a little lost, don’t hesitate to contact professionals (coaches, employment agencies, teachers…) who will help you refocus and redefine your professional goals.
5. Each new job search, each interview you attend (even if you consider it a failure) is a new experience, an asset, in the long term. It allows you to gain maturity and learn to position yourself better and better. More and more precisely, too.
6. Remaining positive means remaining efficient, open, competent, able to seize opportunities as they arise. It is therefore getting closer to the goal.
7. Don’t forget that fear is your worst enemy, the only feeling capable of taking away what you have most precious and useful: self-confidence.
