3 Things for your Job Quest

My family loves to watch the TV show Merlin, the Magician.  In the last episode, Prince Arthur set out on a “quest” to prove himself worthy of the throne. I thought later of the quest of job seeking  - it too can seem a perilous and exhausting journey at times!  Although Arthur wished to do it alone, the quest couldn’t be completed without all the representatives of Courage, Strength and Magic (which of course was where Merlin came in).

In your quest for a prized job or role – you need Courage to firstly decide on a course of action. You need courage to ask –  for contacts, assistance, guidance and the belief to apply for jobs that at times may seem a stretch for you.   You need Strength – to keep going in the face of hearing “no” and garner the resilience to bounce back and stay focussed. And, if you apply both of these, I believe that you will invite a little Magic to help you along the way.  ”Coincidences” – like bumping into the right person at just the right time, or hearing of an opportunity by chance seem to just happen.  Inviting a little of that magic into your meetings or interviews, in the form of confidence, along with some courage and strength will see your Job Quest succeed.
