Stop Getting in the Way of Your Dream Job

DreamJob

You might think that finding a better job or obtaining a higher standing in your career is impossible, but this is more than likely not the case. The reason behind your failure to obtain a better job might just be yourself. If you are struggling to find a better job, you might find that you are actually self-sabotaging your own efforts along the way. You might just be what is holding you back from the job that you have always envisioned for yourself. Here are some ways to stop getting in your own way of a dream job in 2016.

The Fear the Failure

Sometimes we are so afraid of failure that we don’t even try. This is the reason that many people do not pursue their dream job. They are much more satisfied with never trying and never failing than actually putting themselves out there and facing rejection. Failure is not fun or enjoyable, but it is often something that you have to experience on your way to the top. This means that if you are looking to achieve your ultimate goals and obtain your dream job, you will undoubtedly face failure along the way. How you react in the face of failure is what will predict your success.

Entertaining Negative Thoughts

You might not think that your thoughts have that much power, but you would be mistaken. Every negative thought that you have about yourself poisons your subconscious. You are putting self-doubt at the forefront of your thoughts and this can be a major detriment to you. Your mind will eventually view these thoughts as reality over time. This means that you need to be careful of your thoughts and always remain positive about obtaining your career goals.

Write Down Fears, Let Them Go

It is difficult for some people to just push through their fears on their own. Some people need to focus their thoughts and boost their confidence in order to get the ability to push past fear. It might be a good idea to write down your thoughts and put your fears down on paper. When you see them in writing, it might give you the ability to determine how invalid these fears really are. Make sure that you are clear about what exactly you are afraid of. If you are afraid of your inability to perform, or of the stress that a new job may bring. Becoming aware of your fears is the first step to overcoming them in the long run.

Is the Candidate Your New Soulmate?

February_2016_Soulmate

 

You stare across the desk into the dreamy eyes of a well-dressed and attractive individual. Then, suddenly your heart and mind starts to race, you get sweaty palms, and you stumble over your words, giggling nervously. Uh, oh? Are you in love?

Sounds a little like dating, right? Sadly, no…this isn’t another Nicholas Sparks movie scene. In reality, you are just another recruiter engaged in an interview with a job candidate.

It can be funny to think about recruitment in terms of the dating game, but it also makes sense. You are presenting a certain brand to try to impress a person you’ve never met before. You smile, shake hands, make small talk, and try to make the other person feel comfortable. You even selected a small, intimate office space where you can get to know the candidate on a deeper level.

How can you know if all of this effort will be worth it? Will you do enough, say all the right things, and get the person to take an interest in what you are pitching – in this case, an opportunity with your company? And then, is this the right person for the company? Do they have the perfect qualities for the job? Will others like this person when you introduce them?

Finding the right hire is like finding your soulmate.

Think about the concept in practical terms. This has to be someone who connects with you and the company brand. An interview is not just a meeting. It’s a chance to exchange meaningful words and energy between you and the
candidate. How well you do this can make a big difference in the way the candidate views the career opportunity. If you are not on your game, the candidate will sense this. If the candidate is turned off, not feeling it, or finds that they are not all that interested – things are bound to end up not working out.

When you interview candidates, think about the interpersonal skills you have. Can they be improved upon? Are you seeking that perfect candidate with every work order you try to fill or are you merely hiring based on shallow traits? Don’t settle. Hire the best person for every job and think about this as a start of a new and beautiful relationship.

3 Tips for Un-Complicating Your Job Search

UnComplicate-Job-Search

 

Is your job search starting to get you very stressed out? Are you overwhelmed by all the different things that you need to keep track of and do in order to get a job? You are not alone. Many people feel frustrated over the job search process – particularly if it takes months to land even one interview.

However, there are some things you can do to streamline and simplify things so that you are staying on track and making the best use of your time. Here are some ways to un-complicate your job search.

1. Decide what type of job you want.

Believe it or not this can be a very difficult thing for some people. This is especially true if you had put certain types of jobs in the past and you think that you can only do those types of jobs. But what you need to understand is that you have a broad gamut of skills that would be valuable to a potential employer. Take the time to participate in a few career personality tests which can be taken online and identify the top-three career choices for your particular talents.

2. Clean up your image.

Some people think you should start with your resume but we think that you should start with your public profiles. 95 percent of all recruiters are looking through candidate profiles on their social networks before they even pick up the phone to call them for an interview. Make sure that you clean up your profiles, remove any questionable content, and put your best foot forward with a professional headshot photo and information about your career.

3. Work with a career coach.

You don’t have to go it alone with a job search! There are skilled professionals out there ready and willing to help you along the way. Contact your local staffing agency and find out if you can get support there for your job search. Consider hiring a certified career coach in your area of expertise to guide you along the way. Get support by joining a job network where you can learn of new job opportunities and talk to others about your journey.

The above three steps will set you on the right path in very little time at all. Be sure to check out the new job openings available at Advance Staffing Solutions, and reach out to us any time you need help with your job search — from resumes to interviews, we’re here to help you!
