JOB SEARCH PITFALLS AND WAYS TO SOAR Lots of the experiences of finding a new job are painful, but for most people, the worst one is the rejection. In order to keep your job search moving, you must find a way to deal with the personal gut-sucking feeling of : I'm not good enough. I'm not attractive enough. I'm too old. I'm too young. I'm too short. I'm too tall. I'm too aggressive. I'm not assertive enough. No matter how much the interviewer conveys hints about your shortcomings, most of us are even harder on ourselves. We fill in the blanks with even more exaggerated shortcomings when the job offer does not arrive. Here are ten tips to allow you to keep your self respect and even admire yourself a bit as you go through this modern torture experience. These tips will also give you the stamina to keep searching until the right job shows up. You need to fell confident in your interviews no matter what the result. These are psychologically sound ways to accomplish just that. Mental Reminder: I am not my job. No matter how much of my energy I spend in my job. No matter how many hours a day I spend working at my job. No matter how much training and education I've had in order to do this job. No matter what. I am not job.

Say this a few times until you believe it.

Tip 1: Make a list of all the things you have accomplished that you are proud of. Make a list of these and read it once or twice a day.

Tip 2: Ask your partner, spouse or friends (at least two) to tell you what you have done that they admire or what it is about you that they enjoy. Make a list of these and read it once a day.

Tip 3: Consider each job interview a practice session in which you are gaining experience in this weird world of job search. Instead of the job offer being the desired result, think of this as an exploratory talk in which you are helping the interviewer find the perfect person for the job. Maybe you are and maybe you aren't the right person, but if you take this stance of helping the interviewer, you will find the dynamic shifts.

Tip 4: Beg, borrow, and search for as much information about the hiring company before you go for the first interview. Be an expert on this company's short and long term goals, their history, and possibly their needs at this point in time. Find out their web site, and study it.

Tip 5 : Practice interviewing with friends.

Tip 6: Join a Success Group. These are groups of out-of-work former employees who are helping each other with connections, advice, support, and practice sessions.

Tip 7: Find Professional recruiters who will work with you on finding a job. These are often paid by the Employer.

Tip 8: Use Google and Wikipedia for creative ideas.

Tip 9: Begin a notebook and write one sentence in it each day. The one sentence is to answer the question: Who am I really?

Tip 10: Keep in mind that this particular job may not be the right job for you, and you may find a better job if this one does not produce an offer. Life is full of surprises. By keeping your own confidence up, and feeling good about what you can contribute to your new employer, you can soar above the depression that is the worst part of the job search. Genie Z.
