Weekly Tip #46: “Attitude is Everything” – Why?
Grab a pen, and write the word “Attitude” at the top of a page of paper, in fairly big letters. Underneath each letter, write the number value for that letter. For example, a “1” for “A” and “20” for “T”.
Spoiler alert. What you’ll find is that, if you add up all those numbers, you get the sum…100. A positive attitude is 100% of what you need to do to succeed in whatever the challenge. To stay positive for the stressful circumstances of a job search, keep in mind the following tips:
- Create a productive and positive space for working on your job search
- Don’t internalize rejection; let go and move on to the next opportunity
- Maintain that positive mindset; focus on what you’re learning and how you’re growing
- Give yourself grace; no one’s perfect, and that’s not even the goal
- Surround yourself with positive people; protect your energy
