You may hear your self say…”I have reached out, I have had interviews and I am just not getting a job”! It may be time to alter your strategy a bit. Could you go directly to a website vs, “Indeed” to look for openings? Could you make a connection through LinkedIn to a person who works in a company of which you have interest? Could you determine three compelling reasons that this prospective employer should hire you?
In the book “Calming Your Anxious Mind” Jeffery Brantley discusses the Buddhist technique of “Beginner’s Mind”. In truth, each moment is unique. Even though you have seen a thousand sunsets or had 20 job interviews, this particular one has never happened before and will never happen again. Receiving whatever arises as a unique and precious experience is to practice “Beginner’s Mind” and to stay in the moment. By releasing your attachment to outcomes, you free yourself to be open to whatever is next!
