Staying motivated while seeking work.
Sina Adelaja-Olowoake. SAO The Employment Coach.


There is no denying that we are currently living in very challenging times. Wherever you turn in the world, the stories are the same - economic downturn characterized by lack of employment opportunities especially amongst graduates /school leavers.
As a job seeker, it must be harrowing going for interview after interview without landing the position. What this often leads to is despondency on the part of the applicant. After a while the applicant becomes dejected, forlorn, and hopeless. Therefore it is key that job seekers find ways to stay motivated. Motivation will keep you going even when you don’t feel like it. It is the driving force that propels you towards your goal.
Below are some ways to help you stay motivated as you continue your search for employment.

Stay Positive.
Don’t allow your past experience to affect your future prospects. Because you have not landed the jobs in the past does not mean your next interview is doomed. Always think and stay positive. Surround yourself with stories of people who triumphed in the face of adversity. If you need to listen to motivational speeches, read books, do it.

Stay Balanced.
Remember that saying “all work and no play…..”? Keep things in perspective. Don’t sit down all day and just mull over your lack of a job. If you do this long enough it will start to eat away at your confidence and you don’t want that. Socialize in moderation and also continue your job search in equal measure.
