SMARTER WAYS TO FIND A JOB
That’s a bl**dy good question isn’t it, and one we are digging into on Career Care Package.
Many people use the language “losing my identity” when they talk about job loss.
But honestly, I think the range of emotions people experience are a whole lot more tumultuous than just wondering what it is that you should call yourself now if you are out looking for work.
So we do need to talk on this….

So I’m not sure if languaging is a verb or not, but what I do know is that we don’t have great ways to describe our feelings.
We say “I’m anxious.”
We say “I’m sad.”
We say “I feel depressed.”
And then typically we leave it for the other person to understand exactly what that means.
And often because we’re not that great at dealing with other’s emotional discomfort (or perhaps we’re too self-focused) that’s where the conversation ends.
Why am I mentioning this?
Well, without a fuller description – we’re missing a great opportunity for others to connect with what we’re feeling – be able to better understand that feeling, and help us if they can.
From a job search perspective, this means we miss the opportunity to build a better support network.
So to give you an example here’s how it works for me.
Instead of saying “I feel anxious” I could say:
“I lie awake at night with the same thought spinning around in my head. It’s like a broken record. I try to understand why I feel so crap. I work out solution after solution after solution. Then when I try to go to sleep I wake up 30 minutes after, rinse and repeat.”
I’d suggest it becomes pretty clear what’s going on after that. [click to continue…]

There are a few myths out there about what you need to do to be successful in your career.
To be honest some of them are pretty punishing.
“Successful people only have 4 hours sleep a night.”
“Writers have to pump out 5000 words a day.”
“True mastery of any craft comes after 10,000 hours.”
Arrrrgh, I feel the guilt washing over me already!
