Successful job seekers do things differently than average job hunters.
They have developed a job search mindset that causes them to think, act and respond differently throughout the job search process.
A job search mindset has seven components:
- A positive outlook and belief that job search goals can be reached.
- Confidence in skills and ability to perform the jobs for which they have applied.
- A relaxed and non-anxious professional demeanor.
- Alertness to the many job opportunities that may come their way.
- Thorough preparation to perform well.
- A focus on successful outcomes.
- Willingness to use failure and mistakes as learning tools to make appropriate job search course corrections.
