In this case, the first thing you should do is to let go of your guilt or bitterness, knowing that you have not wasted your time. You have definitely learned something from your previous experience, and you are more experienced now than when you got your last job.

Try to use your energy through searching and applying for as many jobs as you can, that look appropriate to you. Don’t just sit back after one interview or opportunity, keep on searching until you sign that contract. This will also help to keep you from thinking about the last interview you had and driving yourself crazy from wondering whether or not you got the job.

Be Your Own Career Coach

Posted by Nazia 1 February, 2010 (0) Comment

We all are great at giving advice to each other. However, we tend to listen to our own advice less. Why is that so? If we are acting like psycho therapist for our friends and families so than why can’t we act the same for ourselves and stop relying on others to give us advice. Your advice given to yourself cannot benefit anyone else as much as it can for you. So stop wasting your mind and words trying to steer others on to your track. Instead spend time and energy in listening to your voice, and trying to practice the right advice for yourself. Career Coaching

Listening to your own voice helps you a great deal while surfing through the phase of job and career walks. You tend to rely heavily on other’s advice when it comes to anything, and I mean anything in the working environment. You are so prone to listening to others and deafening your own voice that instead of acting like you would you start acting like other would in that situation.
