The 7 Deadly Sins of the Job Search: Is Your Envy of Other People’s Job Searches Hurting Your Own?
ningcontentENVY –
Do you find yourself thinking things like “I can’t believe Bob just got that new job, my numbers were better than his?”
Do you spend precious moments obsessing over fact that you and Charlie have the same skill set and comparable experience, but he is getting 10 times the number of interviews?
THE AWFUL TRUTH is, it is a significant waste of your time to focus on other people’s job searches. You will be much more successful in your own job search if you focus on yourself. Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing, your energy is better spent identifying ways to improve your resume, acquiring new skills to make you more marketable, and networking with those that can help you get hired in the positions you seek.
THE AWFUL TRUTH is, being envious of someone else’s success only takes away from your own.
