Every day. \r\n\r\nSay something nice about yourself. Be kind to you. \r\n\r\nIf you are looking for job, this is really great to practice on your resume.

Hard work never is.\r\n\r\nWe have to be our best cheerleaders, we have to find our own strength and value. \r\n\r\nNo one else gets to decide our value.\r\n\r\nBut if YOU don't stand up for yourself, no one else will.\r\n\r\nI have to do work everyday to make sure I'm taking care of myself.

And it gets brutal on your psyche when the job you want doesn’t work out or it takes longer than you would like to even get noticed. It’s crazy hard to hear you aren’t the right fit or they went with someone else and work affects so much of your perception of yourself. \r\n\r\nYou are not alone in this.\r\n\r\nOne of the darkest times in my life was during the first dot com and my startup along with most of Seattle imploded. It tore me apart to be jobless while trying to support a young family at 24 years old.\r\n\r\nHere’s what I want to you to all realize during your job search: What you do for work doesn’t define your well being. \r\n\r\nNot having the right fit just means your future career is somewhere else. \r\n\r\nI know it can be so stressful during the job hunt. If you can find a way to have compassion for yourself during this time, to know and believe that you are worth every dime you are asking for, taking care of yourself will make the job search so much easier. \r\n\r\nTake a day off like on Sunday to go ride a bike and chill out. \r\n\r\nThat future job will still be waiting.\r\n\r\nAlmost everyone I know goes through this at some point in their life. \r\n\r\nSo for you [job posters](https://hireclub.com/jobs), I also have something to ask of you. \r\n\r\nWhen you are moving on from a candidate, realize the other side of what they are going through. Be gentle and forth coming in your feedback so they can improve their prospects. Be clear in what you are looking for and respond timely so everyone can move on to where they need to be. There’s a real live person on the other side of that resume.\r\n\r\nBe kind.","user":{"id":2,"username":"kidbombay","name":"Ketan Anjaria","avatar_url":"https://res-5.cloudinary.com/hireclub/image/upload/c_fill,f_auto,g_north,h_200,q_auto,w_200/h5zk2mzyb3e45b428l0f"}},{"id":273,"name":"Professional Networking","slug":"professional-networking","cover_uid":"jeriiebefemmsxgzfbt0","published_on":"2022-08-23T21:44:42.452Z","content":"Kindness goes a long way. \r\n\r\nI think many people think you can just turn on networking and bam! You got connections. \r\n\r\nBut I think it’s much deeper than that.

Go now. Don't make excuses, I strongly believe stagnant bodies lead to stagnant minds. \r\n\r\n2) Talk to friends. \r\n\r\nMany of us don't want to admit that we are having a hard time during a job search. But it's one of the most trying times in our lives. Reach to friends and let them know. You don't have to carry the weight alone. \r\n\r\n3) Network\r\n\r\nWhile online communities can be very engaging, nothing beats getting out there and actually talking to people face-to-face. There's always a meet up or event related to your career. And many companies have folks at these events specifically. Do not think you can nail your job search while at home in your jammies 😜\r\n\r\nHere are some additional suggestions from some of our [HireClub Facebook community](https://www.facebook.com/groups/hireclub/) members:\r\n\r\n- Volunteer, give back, offer to help someone to utilize your strengths\r\n-  Read books that will help you stay positive and motivated. \r\n-  Write\r\n-  Do things that you were too busy to do before. \r\n-  Try something new and take the time to know yourself better. It might lead you to a new career path that you have never thought about before. \r\n-  Connect with people, whether it be friends you've lost touch with or meet new people within your network and share similar interests. \r\n-  Go to the [HireClub Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/hireclub/) and connect with other people in your industry who are also looking. Take it to the next level (and make some new friends) by setting up a weekly meeting together to share each other's next job search steps and hold each other accountable. \r\n-  Set small goals, like two network connections a week or \"I'll send my resume out to three people\" a day. \r\n-  Educate yourself, even if it's a Udemy or Alison course or a quick workshop at an adult school or community college. Makes a huge difference to wake up the next morning and say \"I know more than I did yesterday.\"\r\n-  Take long, slow walks that will allow you to think and clear your mind.\r\n-  Watch a sad movie and have a good cry\r\n-  Go to the beach/forest/mountains and scream (or just chill out)\r\n-  Do some yoga or other form of exercise\r\n-  Meditate\r\n-  Treat yourself to a yummy meal\r\n-  After you've been hammering away at job applications, afterwards give yourself some sort of a prize (massage, or restaurant) as a reward.\r\n-  Get a mentor or [a coach](https://hireclub.com/subscriptions/new) for guidance\r\n-  Know that you are not alone and believe that there is something out there for you and you will find it - truly believe that. \r\n\r\nWhat are some good ways to stay positive during the job hunt?

They have an accountant, a tax person, a personal trainer, a coach, a lawyer etc etc.\r\n\r\nThey realize that no one person can know or do it all. There are no self made billionaires. \r\n\r\nI know in the US we like to market ourselves that way. But Elon Musk did not get to where he is alone. Neither did Jeff Bezos or Steve Jobs. \r\n\r\nWe just love that lone pioneer story but that is not the truth of how people actually grow and succeed. \r\n\r\nNow hiring people to help you is one way to do things. That’s why jobs exist. That’s why we have coaching. \r\n\r\nBut there are other ways to get help. You can choose to help others first.\r\n\r\nIt’s that pay it forward mentality that has made HireClub what is today and created [our amazingly helpful, powerful community](https://www.facebook.com/groups/hireclub/) . \r\n\r\nDo you feel ashamed when someone else asks you for help?\r\n\r\nNo, right? \r\n\r\nThen why do you feel shame when YOU ask someone for help?\r\n\r\nReally think about that one. \r\n\r\nWe have to challenge ourselves when ego gets in the way. I’m 20 years in this business and I still get things wrong all the time. \r\n\r\nI have mental blocks that I have to work through to find growth. \r\n\r\nAsking for help is not shameful; in fact, it actually helps you succeed faster then doing things alone. \r\n\r\nDo 2 hands build a house faster or 4? What about 6, 8, 10 hands?\r\n\r\nAsk for help. Pay for it if you can. Pay it forward regardless by being helpful when it makes sense. \r\n\r\nThere is no shame in asking for help. There is only growth and bringing your community together. \r\n🙏🏾💪🏾","user":{"id":2,"username":"kidbombay","name":"Ketan Anjaria","avatar_url":"https://res-5.cloudinary.com/hireclub/image/upload/c_fill,f_auto,g_north,h_200,q_auto,w_200/h5zk2mzyb3e45b428l0f"}},{"id":260,"name":"Interview Pro Tip","slug":"interview-pro-tip","cover_uid":"wqadfha9d5qigttwnyoy","published_on":"2022-08-10T14:48:07.957Z","content":"Get your phone.\r\n\r\nPut it on a stand and turn it towards you.\r\n\r\nHit record in video mode.\r\n\r\nAsk your self these questions and answer them in 2-3 minutes each.\r\n\r\n1.
