5 Amazing Ways Telling Yourself the Truth can Help Your Job Search
Any time we are in an unpleasant-feeling situation, we have two choices in how to respond. There is rationalization and there is truth. Rationalization is a process of telling yourself a story about something to make you feel better about that something. The purpose of rationalization is to keep yourself from taking the scary step towards change. Truth, on the other hand, leads to freedom, hope and change. How so, you ask?
Here is an example. Suppose you’ve sent your resume out to hundreds of prospective employers, only been on a couple interviews, and have never received a call back, let alone a job offer. Rationalization says, “Everyone knows the economy is terrible, and besides that, I’m being discriminated against because I’m [fill in the blank], so I guess there’s nothing I can do.” Now, you can feel good about the effort you’ve put in and no further effort is required. Yay, rationalization!
Truth says, “There is something about either the quality of my resume or my interviewing skills that is not resonating with the employers I’m selecting. This is a highly selective economy, and I need to go back and make sure my resume is as crisp, professional, and sellable as possible, and I need to choose employers and positions that are a fit with my knowledge, skills and abilities.”
