Some of the information he shared during our discussion include:
· Sometimes, you need to do a hard audit on yourself to really know what you want and where you are going to.
· If you are running away from a job, you might just run right back into the problems you have had, always better to run to the next great opportunity.
· You must believe in yourself to be successful in the job search, rejection is not directed at who you are, the skills you have just don’t match the need.
· When the inner critic is shooting at you, bring clarity, confidence, and control to deal with it.
· If you are at a job impasse, give yourself some kindness, break for a while and then start back slowly and explore where you are at and where you need to go to.
