What Is Behind the Fear of Success?

By Ann Vertel

What do you suppose will happen when you finally achieve all you've dreamed of? Aside from the expected upticks in your income and the ability to buy more things, travel more, invest more, and do more of what you really enjoy, what else could happen?

If you're like a lot of people, you haven't really looked at the downside to achieving all that success. You may have some vague notion that things will change, and they most certainly will, but you may also have assumed that all those changes will be good ones.

At least that's what your conscience thinks. If you have a fear of success, your subconscious has been actively engaged in ensuring that none of those things happen by working diligently to keep you comfortably at status quo.

Fear of success is a hidden, subconscious belief that if you actually become successful, dire consequences will ensue. It means that no matter how badly you want to achieve success, no matter how hard you work for it, and no matter how strong your will is to achieve it, your subconscious will do everything in its power to prevent it. And trust me, the subconscious is far more powerful than you might expect.

If you have a fear of success, you may experience one of five anxieties when you think about your goal. Simply anticipating your success can trigger these subconscious anxieties and lead to the complete opposite of your intended outcome. I'll talk about two of those anxieties here.

The first is a fear that if you become successful other people, those most important to you in particular, will love you less. That you will lose their affection and they will think less of you. If as a child you were criticized or belittled - if your parents held little hope that you would ever achieve anything significant - validating that opinion by complying with it ensures that you do not defy or disagree with their judgment. It keeps you in their good graces. Remaining average confirms for them what they suspected all along. You don't make them angry by defying their opinion and they reward you by continuing to approve of your current potential.

You can work for their approval or work for results, but you can't do both.

The second anxiety is a fear that you will not be able to handle an increase in status. It is a fear of increased responsibility. Naturally as you become more successful you will gain more responsibility. The benefits of achieving success might be appealing, but the change to who you will become and the responsibility that goes along with it, might feel unnerving. Perhaps we're just not up to taking on that type of significance - we'll feel like a fraud or we'll feel embarrassed. Maybe we'll be expected to say and do and be things that just don't feel comfortable. Maybe we'll humiliate ourselves by trying to do more than we think we are capable. Seeing who we could be and actually stepping into that role require different sets of skills.

There is good news. These subconscious anxieties aren't real, they are phantom thoughts that take up residence in our underlying beliefs to keep us from stepping up and stepping out so we don't hurt ourselves. They're just beliefs. And beliefs can be changed.

Job Hunting on the Internet

By Candace Davies

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

The Internet has become a very popular medium for finding jobs. However, there are so many websites and search engines to use, one can easily become overwhelmed or frustrated. Instead of blindly searching around the Internet, first narrow down what type of job you are looking for, or in what sector or for which company. Some of the best resources to use are government sites. Since local, state/provincial, and federal governments are looking for a wide variety of workers, it may be a good idea to start with them. Each level of government across the country has its own website with a page specifically devoted to employment opportunities. There may be internships, upcoming opportunities, or links to additional job search websites posted on there as well.
If you are looking to apply within a specific city or region, look for local job search websites. For example you might type in "Boston job opportunities" or "Ontario job search". If a commute is not a problem for you, then you might also want to look one or two towns over.
For new graduates, job hunting can also be a very stressful situation. You have your degree, but where do you go from here? Most campuses have a career resource center, which can put you on the right track to finding a job. As well, the school should have a job search website, perhaps like workopoliscampus.com, that allows employers to post ads specifically seeking new grads or senior college and university students. Furthermore, if you have a broader degree, try government agencies, larger museums, or national/international companies. Many of these organizations have a need for a broad spectrum of individuals with varying areas of expertise. Also, think outside the box and assess how your areas of study (and not just your major or minor) and acquired skills could translate to a whole host of positions.
Another option for using the Internet as a job hunting resource is putting your resume online on some of the larger job board sites. These sites allow you to post your resume and a brief description of your talents and qualifications. Potential employers will scan your resume and evaluate whether or not your experience and credentials match what they are looking for. This is also a good place for networking. Though X employer may not need your unique set of skills, he or she may know someone who does, and pass your information on to them.
Whichever method you choose to use, remember that patience, persistence, and consistency are key. Job search websites are always changing and being updated, especially government sites, so it is important that you make your job hunt a daily task. Also, do not get discouraged. No matter what state the economy is in, job hunting can be a lengthy process. Furthermore, before you submit your resume to any of the postings online, make sure that your document is neat, concise, and looks professional. You need to prove right from the start that you are a desirable candidate. Double and triple check spelling, grammar, punctuation, and overall format of the resume. Ask yourself "Does it looking appealing?" "Would I hire myself?" If the answer is No to one or both of these questions, give your resume a rewrite, or hire a professional to do it. In the long run, a professionally written resume is definitely worth the money, especially if it lands you your dream job.

Successful Job and Career Searches

By Anifa Williams

Searching for a new job or career doesn't have to be painful or agonizing. Your success will depend a lot upon your approach. Are you familiar with current hiring trends? Do you know exactly what position you are targeting? Are you just desperately in need of a job, any job? How do you presently find positions? Are you equipped with a good cover letter and resume? Do you have good references? Are you able to explain any inconsistencies in your resume? How flexible are you with salary and benefits? How far can you travel geographically? These are only a few questions to ask yourself before starting your job search. You will need to understand that finding a job could easily turn into a full time job and it's important for you to have a system in place that works for you.

The main three sources to find a new job are online jobsites, networking through friends, family members, present and former colleagues and checking the yellow pages. I realize most people don't check the yellow pages for jobs unless they are looking for a temp agency or permanent placement career firm. There is more to the yellow pages online and offline than jobseekers realize.

Online Jobsites are the most common places to find jobs right now. They are available in several categories. You can search jobsites based on your location, industry, ethnicity and salary requirements. You can also limit your search to full time, part time, per diem, freelance, telecommuting and shift preferences. Most of these sites offer candidates the opportunity to post their resumes online to be viewed by potential employers with vacancies to fill.

Depending on your qualifications and what you are looking for, you can easily narrow your list of sites to monitor to three. It is best to have at least one local site that you can count on for positions close to home. The national job boards will attract more attention and more competition. With the current state of economy, many jobseekers will relocate for the right position. If you monitor a site that is only known in your area you will limit the chances of high competition compared to a national advertising.

Networking might not be the most common way to find a job, but it is one of the best ways. When a position becomes available the first people to know about it are the employees. Many times before a job is even posted it will be filled. I accepted a position this way many years ago. A co-worker was leaving the company we worked for and before she left, she placed a post it note in front of me and winked.

The process required very little effort on my part. I updated my resume, contacted her friend who was the president of the company, interviewed for the position and in a matter of days accepted an offer. My co-worker had already given me a stellar recommendation so my new boss didn't even check the references I provided. In a matter of weeks I started my new position with a great company, better benefits and a wonderful group of people. It was a good move in more than one way. Within months my former company had a massive layoff.

As I mentioned above the yellow pages aren't usually the first place anyone looks for a job. However, if you are creative, patient and targeting a specific industry, the yellow pages can be your best friend. I worked for a brokerage firm several years ago. An announcement was made that the department I worked in was on track to be closed. Like most of the other employees, I quickly started looking around for another position. After moving to another department was eliminated as an option, I then looked in certification so I could work in another capacity in the same industry.

After acquiring my certification I took two days off to spend time with the yellow pages. I knew my industry so I knew what companies to target in my job search. I also created a geographic range. When I was finished with my criteria, I got on the phone and called every company in the yellow pages that fit the description. I politely asked whoever answered the phone if their company was hiring for the position I wanted, requested email addresses, fax numbers and contact names. Before returning to work after two days, I had been on four interviews and accepted a new position.

Responding the Right Way to Job Vacancies

By Mark Andrew Woodcock

In this dastardly economy it can take a lot to get noticed when you are in line for a job. Simply put, work is scarce and competition is fierce. There are certain things that you can do when responding to job vacancies however, to get yourself noticed.

Your obvious in is your resume. Even though dollars may be a little tight, reworking your budget to afford professional resume services may be well worth the hassle. With the right eye you can whittle down the presentation of your skill and experience to a tight, all-encompassing description of you that will not only impress, but will continually find its way to the top of the pile.

Your resume is where you give your first impression, so it is always best to strive for perfection before sending it out. One of the key areas of construction is your objectives. Given the rough job market it is especially important to leave yourself open for new opportunities that your prior experience may qualify your for.

With a strong resume and cover letter you have a far better chance of standing out from the crowd and getting an interview. What many people do not realize however is that large companies often have a very simple weeding out process. Any required pre-application process is a simple way of telling whether or not potential employees follow directions well. Make certain that if there is any online application instructions or pre-interview instructions that they are followed to the letter. When applicants deviate from specific instructions they can be immediately limited. For these larger companies hiring is really a numbers game, which means whittling the number of applicants down to a workable group can mean strict attention given to tiny details.

The important thing to remember when apply to new job openings is that a delay in response is not necessarily a bad thing. Stay patient and try to invest your time in activities that can enhance your skills. See about getting your next degree online, or simply taking courses at the local community college to enhance your skills in your field. This can be added to your resume and shows that you have aggressively worked to both fill your time and improve upon yourself.

With a little diligence you will find the right job for you. In spite of the sink or swim nature of the job market however, responding to job vacancies is best done with as little haste as possible. From your resume to the interview it is important to make certain that your accuracy and attention to detail bring you to the forefront of hiring discussions.
