Job Tip # 48: You are not a Failure

Another networking group in DFW that caught my eye, as they hit the nail on the head....you are not a failure.  Job loss or unemployment can be especially hard on men psychologically, as many men get their self-worth and self-image from their jobs.  A job is indeed a career that you throw yourself into, but it is not WHO YOU ARE.   Easy to say; sometimes hard to remember, right guys?


Job Tip # 48: You are not a Failure
Of course you are not a failure, but this Tip title did get your attention. Here's some suggestions from pro Head Hunter, Nick Corcodilos……If your job search is failing, it's for one of two reasons. First, you may be scared because you believe you're not good at your work. If this is happens to be true, admit it to yourself and do something about it. If you don't, your work will never make you happy or successful. Second, you have been brainwashed like most Americans by the media and by America's Employment System to follow antiquated rules of job hunting. Realize that if this System worked, you wouldn't have to mail out 200 resumes or go on 20 interviews before finding a job.

There is only one rule for success in a job search, and almost no one follows it: you must prove, to the manager for whom you want to work, that you can do the job he needs to have done and that you can do it profitably. This is the single most important rule headhunters live by when they prepare a candidate to interview for a job. http://www.askthehe adhunter. com/habyoh. htm
