How to Overcome the Frustration of a Job Search

If you are like many people who are making a career transition, the process can be like looking at a puzzle that you are trying to construct, and realizing you don’t have all the pieces. You can become confused, extremely frustrated and discouraged.

Submitting your resume to countless companies and organizations ends up in little or no results.
It is at this time that a part inside of you wants to give up and just quit trying.

Career Coach
Many times having a career mentor or a coach can make all the difference in the world. Having a person you can confide in, is a lot like having a partner in the company called “Your New Career Inc.” By having someone assist you in your quest for a new career, it can be the factor that keeps you on track and insures your ultimate success. This person can be the one that holds you accountable to identify and follow through with the completion of the tasks that are necessary for you to succeed. Like someone once said, “What I need most in life is someone who makes me do what I know I should.” By having a person who holds you accountable, it can help to keep you focused on doing the things that get you the desired results.

How to Remain Strong
If you are one of those people who have trouble asking for help, realize that there were probably plenty times in your life when someone asked you for some help and you gladly gave it to him or her. By giving them the assistance they needed, it allowed them to move past their sticking point and reach their goal.

As someone once said, “you don’t ask for help because you are weak; you ask for help because you want to remain strong”. By asking the right person, you can get the specialized assistance that can propel you on your way to reaching your goal of a new career.
