Are you confident about finding a job?

Somewhere in the back of your mind a little voice is telling you that you will find a job. That voice probably won’t tell you when or how much it will pay but you will find a job. In the past when you have been unemployed you have always managed to find a job, maybe not exactly what you wanted but it was a job? So how come it’s taking so long now? The easy answer is the economy which is as bad as its been since the great depression. Or maybe its your age, a lot of employers aren’t too crazy about hiring older workers, although it is illegal to discriminate someone because of their age. Maybe there are other things but the point is you have to believe in that voice that tells you there is a job out there.

 

Here are a few things that you should remember to build up that confidence.

 

• Stay active while you are unemployed. You have a life beyond work.  
• Keep the right attitude even when things are tough  
• Don’t stop dreaming about your ideal job.   
• A career move risk might sound risky but it might be the thing that yanks you out of your doldrums. 
• If you don’t believe in yourself who will?  
• Being flexible is good job advice at any age and in any economic environment.
