Why You Can’t Find the Job of Your Dream (+ Proposed Solutions)
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.
The
Quality of Your Resume/ CV
This is
key when it comes to competing for a position with many others. Amongst the
things that side-line your competitors are most importantly your experiences
and diverse abilities. While preparing for a job, it’s advisable to take up
volunteer positions where ever an opportunity arises, because all of that goes
into your Resume/CV.
In this
internet era it is customary for you to have an active LinkedIn account and
make sure that a google search of your name shows nothing short of a positive
person.
It is
also brilliant to write a resume/CV focusing on your employer’s needs. Spend
time to do research about your employers and their ventures.
Professional
help is a good option as these people know how to spice up your resume/CV to
have an irresistible appeal.
Upload
your CV at Njorku.com and let them help look for employers and job
opportunities while you relax at home. It’s entirely free
Furthermore,
preparing for an interview will increase your chances of being selected. Rehearse
possible questions you can be asked. Build self-confidence and communication
skills. With adequate research about your employer you may impress him by
asking a brilliant question about something you find worth asking, but be
careful because you might instead blow the fuse.
