Bounce back to work
BEEN furloughed or lost your job? With big firms like British Airways reportedly ready to cut thousands of staff, it is vital to realise it is not your fault.
Careers expert James Innes believes staying positive can help you bounce back quicker. He says: “The pandemic has changed everything. How you present yourself, how you sell yourself has never been more important.”
Here are his top tips . . .
- If you have been furloughed then lost your job, do not allow yourself to lose self-confidence. Remember, there are tens of thousands of people in the same situation.
- Do not take it personally. You have not been made redundant. The position was made redundant. It is not your fault, so do not behave like it is.
- Mindset it vital for winning a job. You need to put yourself into a positive frame of mind to stand a chance.
- Too many candidates fail at interview because they fail to demonstrate sufficient interest in the job. One of the key things an interviewer needs from you is for you to show you really want the job – and you cannot do that unless you adopt the right mindset.
- There are always going to be hurdles between you and the job you want. With a positive frame of mind you can break them down, one by one. Relish the challenge.
- Sometimes nerves can get the better of a candidate. I always give my clients this invaluable advice: Remember that you never look as nervous as you might feel.
