It's easy to get down on yourself during these times of economic hardship. But there is a way to get through the anxiety of finding a job this fall. Shifting your Attitude from negative to positive! Sounds easy, right? Well, actually, it is. It all starts with who your circle of friends and associates are. Companies have long practiced this (or at least have tried to). If you can develop a community of positive, like-minded people you can achieve more than you ever thought possible.
Now this doesn't mean to go out and find your clone. It just means that you need to be smart about who you spend most of your time with. Surround yourself the "Positive Influencers" instead of the "Negative Influencers". Spend your time with people who are natural motivators and feel good types. People who are usually in a good mood and seem to reflect stress like Superman reflects bullets. These people will keep you in a good mood and have you laughing when you feel like crying.
And when you are in a good mood, you are more relaxed and creative. And that positive energy feeds on itself and allows you to develop and implement sound career goals. It allows you to take in advice from your support group which includes Career Coaches, Mentors, Classmates, Friends, Family, Former Co-workers/Boss, etc. Once you are on this path, the job search becomes a little easier because you are building momentum. And it's all due to a little attitude shift!
