Stay Positive During Your Work Search

Looking for work takes time, energy, and commitment. Even with a strong resumé and well-developed work search skills, it may take you more time than you expect to land a job. An upbeat approach helps.

Give your self-esteem a boost by making 1 or more lists.

List the things you like about yourself.

List the nice things other people say about you.

List your personal strengths.

List the accomplishments you’ve achieved in the past five years.

Once you’ve made your lists, take some time to feel proud. Celebrate! You’re a good, kind, talented, accomplished person.

Give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back. And get ready to move on.
