LinkedIn: A reminder that embracing failures lead to the most significant growth in your #JobSearch. And if the failures take you a few steps backs, it does not mean the end of the world. Years ago when I was a job seeker, I remember being scared of making mistakes like asking "silly questions" during interviews, following up too much, or negotiating a deserving salary. And I would think to myself "What if the recruiter gets upset and decides not to hire me?" It's okay to fear mistakes, especially when you don't know what's right. However, remember that: - Most People Make Mistakes: Many winners credit their achievements to learning from mistakes. Just because you made yours doesn't mean it's over. - A mistake is a learning opportunity: Making mistakes help you instantly realize what does not work. So, you make better choices and raise your odds! PC: Roberto Ferraro #JWoW #Wonsulting #JobTips #Hiring #OpenToWork #JobSearch
From other's mistakes or experience would be the next bar to right and the tallest - having good mentors -- may be that's already subsumed by the first=lowest bar.
Love this reminder! Embracing failures and learning from mistakes is a crucial part of the job search journey. It's easy to fear making mistakes, but remembering that they're opportunities for growth and learning can be game-changing. Your vulnerability and honesty are inspiring, and your tips are spot on! Mistakes happen, but it's how we learn and adapt that matters. Keep shining and helping others through their job search journeys! 💪🏼
I agree, most successful people have a history of mistakes It's important to remember that failure is not the end of the world. It's simply an opportunity to learn and grow
Job seeking is a learning journey. Mistakes are stepping stones to landing the perfect role.
Jonathan Javier💡 - Absolutely! Theory provides the foundation, but practice truly helps us internalize those concepts and learn from our mistakes. The key is to analyze those mistakes and use them as stepping stones for improvement.
Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom.
This is so true. Honestly, the mistakes I've made in my career are the ones that stick with me and definitely learned from them (usually I was harder on myself than anyone else).
That is so true failure always leads to growth and as always you are incredible and always a legend as well never forget your worth
Mistakes are essential for growth, especially in the job search process. Each failure is a stepping stone to learning and improvement.
