… and you’ll break your mother’s back.”
As a kid I once tempted fate when I was upset with my mom. I stepped on a crack.
Her back didn’t break, but I still avoided cracks.
Irrational thinking, right?
As you consider your job search, you too will need to face some irrational attitudes that may be getting in your way:
- “I’m too old”, or “I’m not old enough”, or
- “I don’t have the right experience”, or “I’m too experienced”, or
- “There aren’t any jobs out there”, or
- “You can’t change industries”.
Although each of these mindsets may have a grain of truth, not exploring an opportunity because of these attitudes may really hurt your search. Your attitudes would be a good to discuss with your coach or job search support group.
Maya Angelou said: “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
What attitude do you need to change?
