This short post discusses something important. When you begin acting to land the job you love. The universe begins to work for you. Making your 10 calls a day and scheduling 10 face-to-face meeting constitute action.
Nancy’s /Story
.Nancy lost her job seven months ago. She looked for six months with little results. Then, she started making the calls and scheduling the meetings. She worked hard. She made mistakes. She met with her job coaches to practice her approaches. She improved.
And, the universe works for those who work for themselves. Within four weeks, the perfect company offered her a job. She accepted and found the job exceeded her expectations. She loves her job.
Jeff’s Story
Jeff scheduled one or two interviews a month. He searched the job boards for about 30 minutes a day. He stopped talking to his friends because he did not know what to say anymore. He tired of always asking them “Do you know of anyone that might hire me?” He sent out 2-4 resumes a day.
He did not believe us when we told hi to make the 10 calls a day and schedule the 10 meetings a week. We shared stories about others who succeeded. He began to make the calls and schedule the meetings. He made a lot of mistakes the first two weeks, but then he got better.
He doesn’t even remember contacting the person who hired him two weeks later. The hiring authority heard about Jeff from one of his staff, who met Jeff through another friend. His actions generated the mojo that led to the job offer.
Get Busy
A lot of people sit around waiting for jobs to drop in their lap.Some recognize that jobs drop into the laps of people who act. I could have shared 1,000’s of stories of people who struggled to find a job and then got busy.
So get busy, take the action that results in finding a job. Make the 10 phone calls a day. Schedule the 10 meetings a week.
