Monday Motivator for Your Job Search – Be Hopeful and Excited…and Go For It

job search tips

Ready to hit the Trick or Treat trail? Maybe not…but there’s still something important there for you: Do you remember when you were a kid? Remember feeling so excited about putting on your costume and charging out the door to collect the treasure awaiting you? You didn’t know what you were going to get when you knocked on that door and said ‘Trick or Treat!’ but you were hopeful and positive. And if you happened to get a dud treat at one house, you were only disappointed for a second–because the next house probably would have something great..and they did.

So…this week in your job search, borrow that feeling from when you were a kid. Think about how much fun it was and think about it in all its detail–how you felt, how excited you were, what those candy treats tasted like, what the night air felt like, down to the last detail. Conjure up that feeling for yourself before you contact hiring managers. It will be an emotional boost that will help you be more enthusiastic and confident. And just like when you were a kid, you’ll find that some of them may be duds that won’t work out, but you’re also probably going to turn up something wonderful. Be hopeful and excited, and go for it.

Happy Halloween!
