In a previous post, the lion of discouragement seeking to devour the hope of all jobseekers was put on notice. Read it here.
Job seeker discouragement is the most pervasive predator of successful attainment of employment. Simply put: the jaws of being down-hearted will slow your success to finding a job.
The Most Effective Job Search Strategy (Pink slip the lion)
To have an effective job search and discover the employer who needs your skills, remember the following reality:
1. Employers aren't responsible for your livelihood, you are.
2. If your previous job is now obsolete, it won't return in its current form. Have a funeral and mourn the loss. But do not bury your hope and determination to work.
3. It is and shall indefinitely be the employer's market. This means you have to be intentional and active in finding the employer who needs your skills. Discovering your employer is an art in itself.
4. Reframe your job hunt starting now. Instead of seeing the process as overwhelming and daunting, embrace the opportunity to show core competencies every employer needs.
In the end, the most powerful job search strategy isn't a methodology. It is a relationship.
A relationship between you and the world of work and how you engage it daily. This directly correlates with your success. Step back, assess your strengths and let go of having to remediate a weakness. Focus today on learning, building, and moving forward. This attitude will catapult your search to a new level of intentional pursuit. Focus on what is good. Focus on the small accomplishments of each day. The best way to slay the lion of discouragement is to learn the science of pollination.
More on that in a future post.
