Keep your spirits up! A great way to feel confident at any time is to yell out with joy and confidence, “I can do it!”
If you are film buff you would remember the scene when John Belushi shouted out, “Let’s do it!” in the movie Animal House. Try going to a mirror and scream like John Belushi, “I can do it!” Then yell out, “I will get the job I want!” When you shout with conviction, “I can do it! I will get the job I want!” you will believe it.
Ever notice how it’s the positive people who always seem to be the happiest and most successful? Upbeat people are fun to be around. They are also the ones who tend to get the most out of life. A positive attitude is contagious. Those who catch it are forever cured. You can do it! You will get the job of your dreams!
Think of Interviewing as a Numbers Game
At times, your job hunt may become frustrating, especially if you experience rejection. However, don’t let it get you down or strip away your confidence. Depending on the job you are trying to get, it may take as many as 10 interviews just to get one offer. But by constantly applying to various job openings, you are increasing your chances for success. Look at each rejection as bringing you one interview closer to getting the job you really want. If you get rejected after an interview, say to yourself – This job wasn’t a good fit. I deserve better.
Besides, you are one interview closer to getting the job you really want! Don’t get emotionally attached to any single opportunity. Focus on the process and what you can learn from each situation. If you get rejected, try to understand why.
