and Find the Job You Want in a Tough Economy

by Jessica Caracciolo

Does the economy or unemployment have you down? We have the solution. Here are tips and tools to help you find employment and stay happy and healthy in a tough economy.

Know that you are NOT alone and you are not a victim. Millions upon Millions of people worldwide (not just in the USA) are in a deep employment drought and they are in the same situation as you are. Victimizing yourself only creates negativity and stagnation in your energy leaving you feeling worse about your situation. Know too that you are not to blame for the situation you are in, nor are you to feel guilty about it. Instead of feeling down, or lonely- try seeing your situation as a challenge that you can fight and overcome. The victory will be sweet.

Are you still interested in the same category of work? Chances are if you have been unemployed for a while, your interests may or may not be the same as they once were. By asking yourself what you are interested in for work, you will be better able to narrow down your job searching. Also, no one said you couldn’t take on a hobby or work doing a hobby on the side while you find work that you can carry on through your future employment. Everyone has skills, talents and hobbies. Can you make crafts to sell or maybe teach your skills to others? These are simple tools that can help you both find work doing something you enjoy, while also helping you make some extra cash on the side.

Instead of applying for every job you find online, try narrowing down your search to targeting specific companies. Figure out what companies you want to work for, that you can visualize yourself succeeding in. Make a list of 5-10 companies to target and edit your resume to suit each position. If you wish to start a new career, don’t be hesitant at starting from the bottom because you can work your way to the top. Send your resumes to each specific company’s HR department, even if they don’t have your specific job listed as available. Sometimes they don’t post all the jobs they have available. And keep persistent with them, follow up and even ask for constructive criticism- things you can improve on. It will help you continue on with your search.

Manifest the job you want by learning the basics of manifesting. Know what you want and be sure about it. Visualize your success. Feel within yourself like you already have the abundance, the job, and everything you seek. Expect the best to happen and stay positive, think positive and keep positive at all times. Manifesting is about creating what you want in life. With that; apply for jobs you want, visualize yourself working in that position. Feel like you already got it and expect to get it. Don’t counter and cancel the manifesting you have worked hard doing by applying for jobs you don’t want- it is counterproductive.

Revamp your thoughts and overhaul your health. You want to be in great shape for when you get that job you have been searching for. Keep thoughts positive and when they are not, ask if your ego is in check (negative thought process). By keeping your ego at bay, you will allow your spirit self (positive thoughts) to thrive. Along with good thoughts, make sure you: eat healthy and organic, eliminate food sensitivities, get proper sleep, exercise regularly, practice forms of stress reduction, nurture yourself and do something creative every day.

Keep your home and work space neat and clean to allow energy to flow positively. Make sure the company you are in is of positive, like-minded people. Forgive yourself and others, and let go of the past. Also, make sure you are always honest with yourself and others. All of the above will keep energy flowing at an optimal level around you, making it easier for you to feel good on the inside and out- which will promote your success in a tough economy.
