I had a question about a suggestion in last Sunday’s blog because I might not have been clear. Take one Perspective and only one and find alternatives to that one. (Do not pile up a bunch of negative perspectives on your shoulders. Take any potentially negative perspective and rephrase it in a way that helps your energy rise.) So if your perspective is that “I am too old to get the job, I want”, other perspectives might be:
- I have maturity and experience that would be valuable.
- Age is irrelevant. Skills are important and I have skills.
- Companies should be lucky to get someone like me with my attitude and experience.
- I have always done a good job. I am a known commodity.
- I would hire me if I were them.
Let me know if this clarifies and I would be glad to hear from you. You can reach me at jill@careercoachjill.com.
