You may be disappointed if you fail,
but you are doomed if you don’t try.
– Beverly Sills

There are many things a job search requires you to do that you probably don’t want to do–contacting everyone in your network to let them know you’re looking, contacting hiring managers directly, bringing a 30-60-90-day plan to your interview (if you’ve never done it), or following up after the interview with an email or phone call.

Most of the time, when someone hesitates to do any of these things, it’s because of fear–fear of rejection or fear of failure.

It’s true that you may not always get the outcome you want from any of these actions–but if you don’t try, you absolutely won’t.

Usually, when I convince someone I’m coaching to take a step out of their comfort zone like this, they are surprised and pleased by their results–you will be, too.

So, step out of your comfort zone and do the thing you’re afraid to do:

• Let your network know you’re looking (Read Fastest Way to Find a Job – Networking)
• Contact hiring managers directly (watch this video to find hidden jobs)
• Bring a 30-60-90-Day Plan to your interview (see how to create and use a 30-60-90-day plan)
• Follow up after the interview (see how to follow up and get a free downloadable report)

Best of luck!
