How do you avoid self sabotage and find a job

Hi, I’m Jeff Altman, Big Game Hunter, Head coach for jobsearch.community and I got a good question. I thought I would use this as my video for the day and it is, “How do I avoid self -sabotage and find a new job?”

Now I think the answer to that question is in two parts. Number one is: Someone gave you this psychological label that I think is absolutely useless. You know, Self -sabotageIt is as if you are going into these interviews and intentionally trying to turn up, or you have a deeply rooted psychological problem that causes you to make these mistakes that turn out so expensive. And instead you know it’s not necessarily self -sabotage. What it is You may not have a lot of experience in interviewing and you have to improve.

You can see what has happened in modern times is that there are a lot of labels that are thrown around, that I think traumatize people, and I think the label “self -sabotage” is one of these brands. It makes people think that the problems are deeply sitting when they could actually be really very simple. And the simple solution to mess together on interviews is practice. How many times have you practiced for the rest of you? And when you begin to think about the practice and the effect of lack of practice, there is a real problem.

You can see we’ve all heard about the 10,000 hour rule, but most job hunters have around, oh, half an hour of exercise, maybe if they’re lucky. They go on the interview, they think they can wing it, and they turn up and they turn up the next one and they turn up the third, and they suddenly want a label: “They are self -assembly.” But actually, They don’t have experience.

So I will encourage you: Get some experience of interviewing. Working with friends. Join Jobsearch Coachinghq.com. Practice answers to the interview questions we have there. It will go a long way to remove this question of being, you know, inexperienced and amateurish. I have to say “amateurish” because professionals practice. Don’t believe me? Look at every athlete at the Olympics, every professional athlete, they are all out, the amateur, successful amateurs, they are practicing everyone, and you are not. So that’s the biggest problem there. It’s not a deeply sitting psychological thing that makes you mess together. It is Your lack of experience doing this and your amateurish behavior that says, “I don’t have to do this.” So wake up, start by doing the work and you start getting the results. Hope you found this useful. Have a good time, take care.
