Job hunting can really wear a person down. For those that are out of a job, you’re spending hours at home searching job boards, doing research on prospective companies, and having phone interviews. If you’re lucky you can go to a networking event & have a few crackers & soda to ideally meet someone who can help you in your search. For those with a job, you’re feeling worn out doing your current job and keeping up appearances that you’re still completely dedicated to the company & position. In the meantime you’re interviewing on the sly, searching for new postings when you get home from work & on the weekends. It’s exhausting!The important thing is to not let that get to how you look.What do I mean by that?When you’re not feeling motivated & excited by your job, it’s harder to put on an enthusiastic, polished image. A job takes up most of your waking time on Earth, & if it’s unsatisfying, it’ll wear on you.Next time you’re out & about, notice someone who is particularly striking in appearance. That kind of person that makes you say-“I want to BE them.” When you look at them you can imagine them having amazing job interviews & careers. Everyone does this, so don’t even try to pretend to me that you don’t.
Now pinpoint what it is about them that makes you say that. Is it how they dress? Their hair? If they’re a woman, are their nails done? Do they seem very fit? Is it how they carry themselves? Is it how they speak? What are those characteristics in them that you find most attractive and magnetic?I’m never suggesting that you be someone that you’re not. You won’t be comfortable & you’ll still have the guilt of wondering how you’ll keep this up on your first day in the job. However, I am suggesting that if there’s things about you that you’ve always wanted to improve, that you take this transition time to make them happen, & that in turn will make you feel better about yourself.For example, a few years back I went to the gym pretty regularly & took a great class called Total Body Conditioning. We worked out with weights so it was low impact, & I still remember how firm my arms and legs felt & how toned I became. I walked more confidently because I was proud of my new body.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/5588947
