Your mindset and silent thoughts have a huge impact on your job search success.
Consider these 2 clients of mine:
?
Client 1 emailed me early in the morning:
"Shub, it is a very tough market. I feel there is no point in doing the job search. Ultimately, there is just not enough job"
?
Client 2 (who also needs a Visa sponsorship, btw):
"Shub, I reached out to 5 different people in manufacturing last week. I know the market is tough but I am following your advice - if there is one suitable job for me, I want to be considered for it"
?
When the market is tough, you can choose inaction!?
And when the market gets better, people who had already been taking action will be miles ahead!
?
I love this particular quote from James Clear:
?"My personal rule is that it's a good idea to be patient as long as I'm in the mix.

If I'm taking action, putting in my reps, and trying things out, then I should remain patient and see what opportunities arise. But if I'm not taking action consistently, then I'm not practicing patience. I'm just waiting."?

Applies in job search, applies in all areas of life...

You can edit a bad book but not a blank page

So, take action, my friend! Take action!

1 个月Shub Faujdar’s job search wisdom is packed with spice and real talk! ??? As a career coach, she’s here to wake up job seekers with actionable advice and a bit of James Clear magic on the side. Two Clients, Two Mindsets: One client’s email is all doom and gloom—“Shub, the market’s dead. Why bother?” Client 2, who’s also up against a tough market and needs Visa sponsorship, is out there networking like a champ. It’s like a Bollywood movie: one hero throws in the towel, but the other powers through adversity. Guess who’s winning in the end? Action vs. Waiting: Shub’s mantra? “You can edit a bad book, but not a blank page.” She channels James Clear’s wisdom: don’t just wait for opportunity—take action, even if it’s messy. Imagine waiting through DDLJ if Raj never showed up at the station! Power Moves: Shub’s YouTube has bite-sized wisdom: "Tips Tuesday" warns against career fads, and "Deep-Dive Thursday" breaks down interview must-haves. It’s like an interval to reload with career strategy, not popcorn. Shub’s message? When the market heats up, don’t be on the sidelines. Jump in, make waves, and claim your career anthem! ??
