Hey Job hunters, it’s pep talk time!
I want to share with you something that a yoga teacher I once had used to always say; which is, “There’s more right with you, than there is wrong with you.”
I can’t tell you how many clients come to see me, and they all imagine that they have some kind of fatal flaw, that’s just obvious and everyone sees, and I never see it!
They come to me and they say things like, “Lisa, I think I’ve been in my job for too long, people will think I’m stuck, and I’m not ambitious.”
Or “I’ve been out of the workforce, because I’ve been having a family, and now I’m getting back in, and I think people won’t trust me”
Or “I have a PhD and people will think I’m an egghead and I’m too smart and I won’t want to do the work”
Or any number of other things that people identify that they think is going to be some kind of point against them.
The truth is, it’s not so obvious to other people, and there is more right with you than there is wrong with you!
So feel confident in presenting that when you are in an interview.
If you need more tips and more pep talks, give me a call.
