How to Overcome 15 Obstacles In Your Job Search

 1. The Blame Game
Don’t be a victim.
Take 100% ownership of your response to everything happening for you.

2. Selling vs Authenticity
Don’t “sell yourself” because selling people is weird.
Instead, be yourself.
They’ll adjust.

3. Pleasing Instead of Serving
Your goal is not to please recruiters or prospective employers.
What they think about you is none of your business.

4. Looking good
Take all the energy you might spend on looking good and redirect that back to serving a prospective employer.
Let them know that’s what you’re doing.

5. Knowing vs Learning
Knowing is the enemy of learning.
Instead, be curious - that’s where possibility lives.

6. Stop Telling, Start Showing
Instead of telling them a bunch of stuff about you, show what’s possible for them.

7. Blurry Vision
Get clear about what your next role will be.
Because if you’re not clear, how will the universe know what to deliver to you?

8. Computer Overlords
(ATS Systems)
Computers don’t hire people.
Humans hire humans.
Stop worrying about algorithms.

9. No Follow-Up
If you send an application and don’t follow-up...
You might as well not even apply at all.
Start following up.

10. Flying Solo
Asking for help doesn’t make you look weak.
It makes you look strong.
ASK. FOR. HELP.

11. Questions Instead of Answers
Stop answering their questions during an interview.
Don’t perform, connect.

12. Picky Applications
Stop worrying about whether you want the job or if you’re qualified.
Worry about that when you have the offer.

13. No Systems
Your current results are perfectly attuned to your current system.
In order to get different results you’re going to want to change your system.

14. Unprocessed Trauma
They were mean to you at your last job. That sucks.
Don’t let it keep you from your next job.

15. You Don’t Actually Want It
Do you want a job?
If not, then stop working so hard to get one.
