Looking for work? Change your mindset to have more confidence & focus!

There is such a competitive job market right now. If you've been looking for work for a while, with no luck, don't take it personally. You can change your mindset to have more focus and confidence. Your mind is your centre of attention, so change it to something else that is more in the forefront of your mind. Your thoughts are your foundation; if you think badly, you will continue to think badly. The key is to take a moment to notice your thoughts and then refocus on your main topic. Doing this will help you become more focused in everything you do.

When you are talking with someone, you should not be interrupted. The silence between you and the other person could be the key to building a better relationship. Being interrupted might lessen the opportunity to have a really good conversation. If you are conscious of having someone else in the room, that allows you to feel more in control, which gives you a chance to be more focused.

It's so easy to get caught up in your own brain! This is why it is important to check in from time to time. Mindsets are like islands in the middle of our busy lives. When we are on a mindset, we can sometimes forget what is going on around us and become oblivious to certain things. Checking in from time to time can help us see that there are other things happening in our lives that we were unaware of. Becoming more self-aware will help you remain focussed and help you on your job search.

If you have a habit of always checking in on what someone else is doing, ask them how they are doing it. If they do not know, then try again later when you can be more available to chat. Try to keep the focus off of yourself at first and then work on putting more of your energy into what you are doing.

When you are talking with someone or working on something, don't be afraid to look the other person in the eye. Doing so shows confidence which is contagious and can really boost others' focus. This is ideal for team work or interviews. In addition, showing more confidence in yourself can also allow you to do better at work because you are self-confident. Eye contact is also really important to build relationships. This can be particularly useful in interviews, where showing confidence and relationship-building skills is paramount.

These are just a few ways to change your mindset to have more focus & focus. Changing your focus and attention from time to time will benefit you in many aspects of your life. You may even find yourself excelling in areas that you never thought you had a chance for. The key is to just take baby steps and realise that success comes with patience and hard work.

We hope this advice helps relight your confidence to continue looking for work!
