Friday Focus: Gratitude & Career Growth - Action Steps for Job Seekers

Thank you note!

𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀: Write down three things you’ve accomplished in your career journey so far-big or small. Recognizing your growth boosts confidence. 

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: Reach out to someone who has supported you- mentor, former colleague, or friend. A simple "thank you" strengthens connections and keeps doors open, signifying gratitude and career growth can be intertwined.

𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: Instead of focusing on what’s missing, look at what’s possible. What opportunities do you have today that weren’t there a month ago?

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: A job search can feel overwhelming, but progress happens one step at a time. Celebrate each milestone-whether it’s completing an application, getting an interview, or making a new professional connection.

𝗩𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: Take a few moments to picture yourself in your ideal role. How does it feel? Gratitude for what’s ahead can make the journey feel more purposeful.

Remember, every step forward is a step toward something great. Your experience and skills are valuable assets.
