Have a Stress Free Job Hunt in 10 Steps
9. Trust in Those Around You
Cause of stress: With so much going on it is difficult to rely on other people to get the job done.
Surpass that stress: Job hunting is a team game; use the people around you to get ahead faster.
In times of extended stress and pressure most people revert to a default mode – survival. This is a scary place to be because anyone working in survival mode can easily take too much on and burn out quickly.
Working with people around you does two things; first and foremost, it helps to create new connections in the brain and cement your goals. Secondly, talking through issues with those around you also helps you to consider your own situation more constructively.
If you are finding it difficult to move on from your past employer because you don’t believe you will succeed in your new role, try this. Write a list of the positive aspects of your past employer and ask yourself if your previous organisation is the only company in the world that can offer you those virtues. The answer will doubtlessly be no and this will help you to move on and plan your future career with another employer.
Now make a list of how you are going to go out there and get your next job. There is nothing like a to-do list to get you chomping at the bit.
Investment: It is not always easy to be open with people and let them offer constructive advice.
Reward: You will find people are a lot more supportive if they are invested in your long-term goals.
