A job search can be a grueling, tiring process - especially if you don't get the results you were expecting right away. However, the key to enjoying success is to stay positive, and that's especially the case if you don't particularly feel like staying positive.
Look at it this way: being negative is absolutely not going to help you. So what do you have to lose by striving to stay positive instead? Nothing. In fact, it could very well do you a world of good. That's because positive thoughts produce positive actions, and if you are able to produce positive actions over an extended period of time, that's when good things happen. With all of this in mind, below are four ways for staying positive during your job search and increasing your chances for success: #1 - Seize the opportunity to network more. There is no downside to networking more, even if your job search does not go the way you hoped it would. Networking is one of the number-one ways to ensure more success in not only your job search, but also your career. This includes both online networking, like LinkedIn, and off-line networking, like attending workshops and trade shows. #2 - Lean on your support system. More than likely, you have friends and family, people who care about you. If you're feeling down or are under stress due to your job search, then perhaps they can help you to stay positive. Remember: don't be afraid to ask for help. Those who care for you will be willing to help in your time of need. #3 - Build up your resiliency. As we've pointed out before in this blog, resiliency is one of the most important traits that a person can have, both personally and professionally. Those people who are the most resilient are also the most likely to persevere and enjoy success. And it may not surprise you to know that employers most definitely want to hire people who are resilient. #4 - Visualize and anticipate your success. This is where positive thinking really helps. When you visualize your success, it becomes more real to you. In other words, it becomes more attainable in your mind, and then it will be easier for you to transfer the success that you've already achieved in your mind to the success that you will achieve in the employment marketplace.
