Now I find that the first and most important aspect of “how to get a job” is your mindset and this means not only means having a positive and confident attitude it is going beyond that – it’s knowing deep inside you that there is a job out there for you. Now I know that is very easy to say and may seem hard to do. Yet with a little discipline, focus and commitment to developing and maintaining these three aspects of your mindset it will eventually become almost automatic and it will sustain you.It’s a matter of energy, you will either demonstrate conviction or you won’t be quite there yet. Deepak Chopra says that if we meditate upon the question “How may I serve?” the answer that arises will provide direction as to what we can be doing to receive payment for contributions and endeavors.
Each of us is unique and has something of value which we can use in exchange for money. People pay money for services, products and ideas that will solve a problem that they cannot or will not do themselves. So start to see yourself as a problem solver. What sort of problems can your skill set solve? Who has the need for those sorts of problems to be solved? Most importantly what results and proof do you have that demonstrate what you can achieve?There are many aspects to networking to get a job. It’s about building relationships, giving first before you get. Make a commitment to leave every personal and professional encounter you have, on a positive, if not memorable notes. One of my current clients was doing some job opportunity seeking over the phone with a company she had worked for many years ago. It turned out that the woman she was speaking to remembered her as the sales professional who had sold her a membership, over 12 years ago. Now how’s that for being memorable!Persistence is about never giving up. Persistence is knowing that “no” is not necessarily final and trying a different approach or another way, or at another time. Persistence goes hand in hand with your mindset and it’s your confidence and positive attitude that will help you persist right through to getting that job.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/5281152
