You must change the way you think about your career, so you can get back in the driving seat.

How can you do that?

Your Attitude is Everything

Everyone goes on about positive mental attitude, don’t they? But what does it mean?

To some extent we can all have some influence over what happens to us, so try to hold an attitude of expecting things to go right

If we expect things to go badly they probably will.

If we expect things to go well they’re more likely to.

So even if everything doesn’t go right we can get past the things that go wrong so much easier. This is what I mean by positive mental attitude.

So Change the Way You Think

• Instead of thinking they’re in charge, why not try ‘I’m in charge’
• Instead of waiting to be chosen, decide what you want and present some proposals;
• Instead of dreading interviews, think of yourself influencing key decision-makers;
• Instead of scouring the adverts, read them as sources of inside information;
• Instead of worrying about vacancies, think of them as needs waiting to be met;
• Instead of having to accept the offered terms, think how you can negotiate;
• Instead of them getting what they want, you both get what you want.

Job banks, search engines, job listings, and job guides are all useful tools in your employment search; however they won’t find you the unadvertised jobs. Statistics show that perhaps up to 60% of all jobs are unadvertised and are found informally - that is to say through networking and the direct approach - so the unadvertised jobs are what you really need to uncover.

You can uncover these unadvertised jobs and get back into the driving seat by putting together a carefully crafted direct approach letter.

This direct approach is no more and no less than a ‘marketing’ exercise to a specifically qualified target audience. It is NOT a mail-shot and certainly NOT ‘speculative’ letters that some people would have you waste your time writing.

Compared to a direct approach letter, the speculative letter or mail-shot is a complete waste of time, effort and possible opportunity. Find out how to write the most effective direct letter at http://www.your-career-change.com/Direct-Approach.html
