Emotions and negative thoughts can rise up
for a person that is looking for a new job. Or a person may be working towards
a new career and graduation may seem like it is taking forever to arrive. These
words may fill a job seekers mind or spill out of their mouth "I'll never
reach my goal."
A person will not reach their career goal if
they do not have a plan of action. A person will fail if they do not listen to
the advice of people who have gone before them and tried to do something
similar to what they are drying to achieve.
Candle maker, Inventor, and Civil Servant Ben
Franklin once said “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
This quote is definitely true but one must
add to the quote. Someone’s first draft of a plan is not always going to be
successful. In seeking employment and other parts of life people are going to
find that they are going to have to make changes to their original plan. One
way of obtaining employment is not going to be the perfect solution to
obtaining the job or career that you want.
A person should not think that they are never
going to reach their goal. In truth they haven’t found the right plan to obtain
what they want. There are a lot of things that go into planning a career change
or obtaining a new job. Activities such as creating a cover letter, resume, and
sending them out to potential job offers is definitely part of a plan. There is
so much more to achieving a new job or career.
The important thing to remember as a job
seeker is that it’s o.k. to have these feelings. These feelings are just a
perception and not the truth of what the job market really is about. Keep your
head up and keep fighting for what you want.
In the next couple of weeks, Career Nations
will have more articles on the emotions, feelings, and thoughts that a job
seeker might experience.
We plan on giving career advice on each subject and
showing our readers how to battle these emotions, feelings, and thoughts that
may rise up. It is our hope that our advice will help everyone achieve the
career of their dreams.
