Why You Can’t Find the Job of Your Dream (+ Proposed Solutions)

Posted by SMS-B

A lot of people wonder why they can’t get a job, moving from one employer to the other yet getting the same response, NO! .

Some of you have probably been attributing this to Ill luck or some form of mischievousness.

I’m here to tell you in the face, that there are a couple of things you have probably not been doing right. And they are the reason why picking a job or getting the job of your Dream has been a nightmare.

Negative Thoughts and Beliefs are the origin of it all.

Every physical circumstance originates from a thought factor. Be careful about what you think for it influences what you belief and eventually what you become irrespective of whether its positive or negative thoughts. Buddha had rightly said it when he quoted:

'' All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What you think you become’’- Buddha

'' We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make our world’’ – Buddha

The kind of thoughts and beliefs you carry in your head have a big role to play. Believes such as: it is difficult to get a good job or that good jobs are only for a privileged few or constant thoughts of your mysterious job search disappointments go a long way to send signals to your subconscious mind and the results you get is more of what you don’t want. From today embark on inhibiting negative thoughts and uprooting negative believes. We will subsequently write on how to think positive and how to modify hindering beliefs.

The New Employers Job Selection tool: The concept of Emotional Intelligence

In modern times the requirements of employers have drastically changed, since the introduction of the Concept of Emotional Intelligence EI, a wide range of employers have tilted so much attention on this new form of employee capacity measurement.

Emotional Intelligence Quotient is defined as a set of competencies demonstrating the ability one has to recognize his or her behaviors, moods, and impulses, and to manage them best according to the situation.

Typically, "emotional intelligence" is considered to involve emotional empathy; attention to, and discrimination of one's emotions; accurate recognition of one's own and others' moods; mood management or control over emotions; response with appropriate (adaptive) emotions and behaviors in various life situations (especially to stress and difficult situations); and balancing of honest expression of emotions against courtesy, consideration, and respect (i.e., possession of good social skills and communication skills).

EI now comprise 80% and cognitive intelligence (IQ) just 20% when it comes to employing these days. The good news is that you can build your EI by improving on your emotional awareness and reactions, as opposed to IQ which is believed to be innate.
