Vous vous sentez découragé par les refus d’emploi. Comment pouvez-vous maintenir votre motivation élevée pendant votre recherche d’emploi ?

No does not feel good, but for every "NO," you are closer to a "YES." Face the disappointment; you will never know exactly what happened, but focus on what you did. After each interview, access the "good, bad, and ugly for next time. Finding a job is about selling yourself. Write down all that you believe could have happened, feel the pain, go for a walk, and give yourself credit for all you did "right." Begin again. The only way to get a job is to move forward, and with this NO, you just moved one step closer to the YES.

It's also important to assess your progress objectively. Even if you didn't get a job, track your progress no matter how far you have made it. Your success is not in the final outcome, it's also the incremental gains you have been making. Sometimes the win is just around the corner.

Rejections are part of the job process, but that doesn't mean they feel good. As a Career Coach, I tell my clients it's okay to feel disappointed, frustrated, or even angry. I make them realize that bottling up emotions can make them worse. Instead, I advise them to talk their emotions out by confiding in me, a trusted friend, or family member. I also encourage them to write down their feelings to gain perspective and release some of the emotional weight.

It may feel impossible, but you are way more than your job search. A "teflon" attitude can be so helpful with those portions that are out of your control. Put your focus and energy on what you can control - what comes from you and inside you, not externals.

When you set realistic goals in a job search, you need to focus on the parts of the job search that you can control. For example, I can control how many people I reach out to but cannot control when/if they will respond. Similarly, I can submit online applications for roles that match my qualifications but cannot control if I will hear back. Make sure the goals you set are within your control and are realistic and celebrate all the small wins along the way.

One strategy I've found helpful while helping clients with their job search is setting SMART GOALS. 📍 Specific: Clients define what success looks like for them. Is it a certain number of applications per week? Attending specific networking events? 📍Measurable: Clients track their progress towards their goals. Did they hit their target number of applications? Did they connect with new people on LinkedIn? 📍Attainable: Clients set goals that are challenging but achievable, not overwhelming themselves with unrealistic expectations. 📍Relevant: Clients ensure their goals align with their overall career aspirations by targeting the right positions. 📍Time-Bound: Clients set realistic deadlines for achieving their goals.

Establishing achievable, short-term goals can provide a sense of accomplishment and keep you motivated. Break down your job search into manageable tasks, such as applying to a certain number of jobs each week, tailoring your resume for different positions, or reaching out to a specific number of contacts. These smaller milestones can help maintain your momentum and provide continuous encouragement, making the larger goal of landing a job feel more attainable. Celebrating these small wins can also boost your confidence and keep your spirits high.

This perspective isn't for everyone. There is some solid advice in this thread: focus on what you can control. Use SMART goal setting. But be careful with that word "realistic." People who feel envy, schadenfreude (pleasure in watching you step up & fail) or people who want to fit you into a box will use the phrase "be realistic" to crush dreams. There are so many people who have big unique dreams that may seem impossible to those who can't grasp the vision. There are no set rules about what is possible or real. What do you call magical thinking followed by effective action? The new normal. If you have an audacious ambitious dream, the only thing you need to make it "realistic" is a clear cut plan for implementation. Ask me how.

Focus on what you want to achieve- YOUR GOAL! Get clear on what exactly you want and how you will get there. Now build your strategy. Be smart and use SMART goals. These are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound. Break it down. Do not focus on what is not in your control, eg. whether the company will respond to you and chose you as one of the top suitable candidates. Focus on what you can control. Example, I will apply for 10 vacancies a week and I will contact 2 recruitment companies a week.

With regards to diversifying efforts, as a Career Coach, I open my clients' eyes to numerous ways of casting a wider net while job searching amongst which are⤵️ 📍Not relying on online job boards alone but reaching out to companies they admire directly. 📍Considering roles they might not have initially considered by exploring a different department or industry that aligns with their transferable skills.

A rejeição durante a busca de emprego pode ser desafiadora, mas faz parte do processo. É essencial mudar sua perspectiva sobre essas rejeições. Em vez de vê-las como fracassos, encare-as como oportunidades de aprendizado. Cada rejeição oferece uma chance para ajustar sua abordagem e aprimorar suas estratégias.

Rejection during a job search is tough, but it's a normal part of the process. As a Career Coach, here's how I help my clients stay motivated during job search by focusing on continuous learning⤵️ 👉I advise them to use the time to actively improve their skillset. 👉 Taking online courses, attending workshops, and gaining certifications. 👉This keeps them engaged and shows employers their commitment to growth.

Use every opportunity as a learning curve. Keep yourself up to date with market trends in business and in your field. The business world is ever changing and by keeping yourself updated, you will learn more and feel more confident in yourself and your abilities. Brush up on your skills to become an even better candidate. This can be done through various ways. Eg. listen to podcasts, upskilling yourself by completing various certifications to advance you in your field, learn how to sell yourself based on what you know you can offer and bring to the table in an interview.

Keeping learning mode on is very important to maintain motivation. Sometimes we apply to jobs that are not a good fit to us given our experience and objectives and recruiters can notice that. Assessing your performance by a reflection moment can help collect data. How did I go? Was I nervous? Was I able to address my key messages?

Life learning is a part of value belief system. Believe in lifelong learning will keep you moving forward. There is no ending to whatever knowledge you want to learn as there they are always changes/evolutions all the times. Practice makes you better each day but will never end! :)

The job search process is tough and can be draining. As a coach, one strategy I share to support success in your job search is as you are considering applying for positions, reach out to staff and leaders within the organization and ask to schedule informational interviews. During these conversations, you can learn more about the person and the organization, while also sharing more about yourself. This is a helpful strategy for networking with the individuals who may be reviewing your application or sitting on the other side of the interview table.

Networking can significantly expand your job opportunities and provide support during your search. Attend industry events, join professional groups, and reach out to former colleagues and mentors. Networking can open doors to unadvertised job opportunities and provide valuable insights and advice. Building relationships with professionals in your field can also offer encouragement and inspiration, helping you stay motivated. For instance, joining a LinkedIn group relevant to your industry can lead to meaningful connections and potential job leads. Engaging in informational interviews can also provide insights and broaden your network.

Remember other times in life where things didn't go as you wished. It may have often been a blessing. Could there be something to learn or gain from doors that don't seem to open? How would you like to tell this story retrospectively in a few years?

Obviously when looking for a job the end-goal is to get a new position, nevertheless it's important that celebrate small wins and victories on the way. Redefining what success means for you at every step of the process of looking for a job is important. E.g. Today will be a good day if I craft my CV and Optimize my linkedin profile. Today will be a good day if I submit at least 15 applications. By putting the focus on the things you can actually control you can build self-confidence.

Shift your perspective on job rejections. Instead of viewing them as failures, see them as learning experiences. Each rejection is an opportunity to refine your approach and improve. Reflect on any feedback you received and use it to strengthen your future applications and interviews. Reframing your perspective helps you maintain a growth mindset, where challenges are seen as stepping stones to success rather than obstacles. Remind yourself that every "no" brings you closer to a "yes."

Rejections can be tough, but staying motivated is key. Remember, you only need to convince one person that you're right for the job. Analyze feedback from interviews to improve your resume and skills. Tailor your applications to each job, highlighting the most relevant experience. Keep active in your job search by networking and applying to new opportunities regularly. Maintain a routine that includes exercise and stress-reducing activities to take care of yourself. Seek support from mentors or a career coach for guidance and encouragement. Focus on what you can control, keep refining your approach, and stay persistent.

Here are 3 reframes for rejection: 1. Say "This is happening for me, not to me." If you got a hard no, you can be sure that "This wasn't the right one for me." Otherwise it would have been a yes. Start fresh. Resume #97 is resume #1. Hard restart. After the 97th try ask yourself "Do I need a job?" "Yes." Then simply apply for a job. 2. Expect rejection. It's a numbers game. Figure out how many nos you need to get a yes. Let's say you need 40 rejections to get 1 yes. Then if you got 20 rejections, you still need 20 more to go get that yes. 3. Rejection isn't the problem. It's the feelings of discouragement, of loss, of shouting into the void. Examine your emotions on paper. Journalling gives you both a voice and someone to listen.
