Get The Job Part 6: Believe In Your Right Job Right Now

In the chapter, June tells Carolyn:

"You can't possibly get focused on something you're afraid doesn't exist."

In all honesty, how confident are you that the position you want exists and that you are going to get it?

The Sixth Rule to becoming one of the World's Best Interviewees is:

BELIEVE THAT RIGHT JOB EXISTS AND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET IT RIGHT NOW

Take a moment to visualize yourself working for leadership that truly inspires you.

Select 'successful' when you are finished.

Carolyn has trouble believing that she can find a company with "backbone". Brian has difficulty believing he can find leadership he can trust.

When it comes to finding your IDEAL job, what do you have difficulty believing?

How much has your lack of belief in this area led you to make bad decisions?

How much has your lack of belief led you to put up with compromised situations?

How much has your lack of belief led you to blame others for your negative circumstances?

Write down a situation where you have been very angry with someone, when, upon refection, you were actually angry or disappointed in yourself.

Carolyn realizes that her negative beliefs lead her to think that she couldn't, or wouldn't, find a better job. This negative belief resulted in her "giving up her power".

Describe a time in your career or life when you gave up your power. Be specific.

Have you spent time directing your anger at the person who was responsible for your lack of power? Unfortunately, that's you...

Write a letter to yourself expressing your disappointment and anger for acting on your negative beliefs and fears.

Beneath the lousy feeling of coming face to face with your own mistakes and vulnerability, that weird sensation you are experiencing is your power beginning to restart its engines.

Post in community, share track, call, email or Facebook someone and tell them about your letter. They may think you've gone off the deep end, but, trust me, you'll get a kick out of this Step!

Select 'successful' when you are finished.

The good news is if you can be angry with yourself for acting on your negative beliefs and fears, you now have the power to act on your positive beliefs and dreams.

Are you ready to bring that power to your next interview?
